Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop

If you’re coming into Philly, you gotta get it it. Speedy service and open until 1am or something? Yes, they can do both. While I’ve honestly had marginally better steaks, I had a reallly good time here. Super close to many other night-outing locations in a pretty active part of the city.

Cheesesteak was pretty mid, honestly. I’ve had way better and definitely had worse, so it kinda just landed right in the middle. The buffalo chicken fries, though? Really good…especially with the cheese wiz. Service though…yikes. We ordered takeout but decided we wanted to sit and eat. When we went back in to ask if that was okay, the response was so unnecessarily rude. Like, if takeout can’t be eaten inside, that’s totally fine — I get it! But the way he told us? Not it. Between the meh food and the rude service, I won’t be rushing back.

BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY! AMAZING SERVICE AMAZING FRIES GREAT SODA....been coming here for over 20 years and its still number 1 everything is outstanding!

Loved the vibes, we popped over after Minus the Bear at The Fillmore. We were not expecting to dine-in and are happy that we did. First time for the three of us and we loved it. We ordered a large basket of old bay crinkle fries, a classic steak and whiz with mushrooms, onions, and peppers, and a buff chix cheesesteak with American, shredded lettuce, tomato, and fried onions (chef's choice). Staff was cool, place was clean, kitchen made good time. Also the complimentary bowl of pickles, banana peppers, and cherry peppers was clutch.

The Cheesesteak is great, and lots of it. My young nephew enjoyed the milkshake. It’s definitely and great Philadelphia experience!!
