Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop

Food My brother who's a local brought us to this place as his recommendation of where locals get their Philly Cheesesteaks. I got a small (6") cheesesteak with cheese whiz and an order of old bay fries for the table. The sandwich itself was pretty good. Nice tender beef complemented by the onions and cheese made for nice bites all the way. The bread itself i feel i could have been toasted a bit more in my opinion. The old bay fries were perfect in my opinion. Perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was perfectly seasoned with old bay seasoning and a good dipping sauce of cheez whiz was the perfect accompanimentService/AmbianceYou walk in and you are greeted with this old diner style restaurant vibe with perfect view of the people in kitchen cooking up the cheesesteak. Our server was nice and we got food pretty quickly so would definitely come back here

Came here during rush house to pick up some cheese steaks to go. My friend recommended this place a while back and I was in the area for another event so I decided to try it out for dinner. I ordered on the phone ahead of time 2 cheesesteaks with mushrooms and fried onions. It came out to over $30 which I feel is average these days for a cheesesteaks. I arrived paid and left with the goods.I brought it home and noticed first thing that the bread was very thick. The steak itself is okay but didn't have any flavor. You can tell the cheese is just melted on top (we got Cooper sharp) instead of mixed together with the meat. The mushrooms and fried onions added flavor to the cheese steaks but overall it was underwhelming compared to other cheese steaks in the area. I ended up just eating the meat out of it since I didn't care for the bread. Eh don't understand the hype of this place but worth a try.

Steaks very great! Stuffed to the brim of the bread! And the handmade sodas were delish. Only con:Wish they provided cut up cherry peppers for the sandwiches I had to cut my own at the table lolLeslie our service was AMAZING. Super sweet, and pleasant. Very professional and attentive to every table. Girlfriend was hustling!10 out of 10!

Of all eight we tried during our two day trip, Joe's tops it for the best cheesesteak in Philly. We shared a small provolone and onion cheesesteak and it was beyond perfect. It is an old soda shop with wonderful seating although it is a smaller place and quite busy on a Monday mid afternoon. We drank an egg cream and a strawberry old fashioned soda that were also amazing. The prices are very reasonable and our waitress for dining in was extremely friendly and the service was fast. The music is all wonderful too. We look forward to returning!

It is an excellent place for burgers, cheesesteaks, and fries! I like their burger a lot; it always comes out how I want it. Also, for my pickle lovers, you will love it here because they have a pickle bar.There are booths on the left/right side of the restaurant and a long table in the middle, which can accommodate large groups.It is located in a busy corner of Frankford and can get a little busy at night/weekends. Their service is not fast, so if you're starving, then you might get a little hangry.

Been here twice now and it is without a doubt my go to place for a cheesesteak. Each time we've been able to be seated right away. The staff is friendly but very busy. It's nice that you get a re-fill on your soda but the cheesesteaks are great. Not trying to be some high end cheesesteak. The mushrooms are marinated and very tasty. The fries are your typical fries but be aware the small is pretty big.

We went to a few places for a cheesesteak while visiting Philly, and Joe's were by far, the best! The place is cozy, our server was so friendly and on the ball, and the food was incredible. We were served quickly, and they brought a bowl of peppers and pickles to add to our sandwiches. The cheesesteak was hot, cheese was melted and the quality of the beef was fantastic. The fries came out piping hot and you had the option to have old bay seasoning and cheese to dip them in. What a delicious meal!

Excellent cheesesteak here. The bread is soft without being too soggy, the meat is tender without being too fatty, they are generous with onions and cheese.Service is quick and friendly, the staff seem genuinely happy to work there. And the pickle bar is definitely worth a visit (or two)! The prices are very reasonable and it is BYOB. Would definitely come back!

We stopped for a cheesesteak while visiting Philly. We also had a milkshake which was good but no milkshake straws. The cheesecakes were delicious and fresh. The rolls were so fresh and soft also. The waitress was very nice! The fries were hot! We would go back!

Came here on a Saturday for lunch around noon and the place had a few full tables, but otherwise it was relatively quiet. We were seated quickly and had our orders in within a few minutes as the menu was pretty short and it was easy to choose what we wanted. Food came out quickly and tasted super fresh - great fries, good seasoning and super crispy. The smoothie was delicious and while really sweet, I enjoyed it a lot next to the savory main dishes. The sandwich was quite large and probably lne of the best cheesesteaks I've had - I don't eat it often, but when in Philly, you have to try it!I found Joe's to be clean, fairly priced, and just overall a great stop to try a classic. Nothing super fancy, just an awesome sandwich and kind service. Thanks, Joe's! I'd definitely recommend this spot and come back if I'm ever in the area again!
