Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop

"Really good, really fast steak. Arguably, the best in FishTown. Come here early during the week if you want to get in and out. The weekend crowd at night can get a little crazy."

"Parking took a minute. Once we were inside, the staff were friendly, fast and helpful. Food came out quick. Bread was amazing. Portions are 8 or 10 in for regular bread. There is a gluten free bread option. We were grateful for that. We ordered one of each. Prices are good. Many fries options but not as crispy as I hoped-for. Definitely will visit again for the sandwiches."

"I read the reviews on line and decided to go here! Specially one that advertised this restaurant as one the cheapest restaurant to go to in Philly. First of all it's not cheap at all for the amount of food u get. I ordered the half Philly cheese steak with wiz, I got grilled onions as topping with banana peppers and pickles on the side. Order of small old bay fries with a drink. My bill with tip came to $23.00 which is not cheap at all for one person. The cheese steak was okay nothing to brag about, and the fries all I could taste was old bay seasoning which was to much. My waiters was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very cozy and cool. I was there on Friday around 3 pm and got a seat right as I walked in. I give this place a three star because the food is mediocre and the portion for the price is very small. I won't go back for Philly cheese steak, but will go to try their burgers looked really good."

"The cheese steak sandwich tasted good would have been much much better had it been at least warm. We were guests of a couple of really rate this restaurant quite high. The service was good, with a very friendly and attentive server. The atmosphere was noisy, making it difficult to hear the person across the talk."

"Will most likely have to wait in line to get a seat but it’s well worth the wait! They used to have a self-serve pickle bar but ever since COVID the waiters and waitresses get you what you want. I love a classic cheesesteak with mayo, American cheese and fried onions. My husband will only eat his with wiz and fried onions. I’ve gotten the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak before but wasn’t a fan since with the chunks of chicken breast. Fries are always fresh and hot. Definitely a great spot for a chill dinner or after a night out. Highly recommend!"
