From it’s humble beginnings in 1949, Joe’s Steaks + Soda Shop, formerly known as “Chinks” and named after founder Samuel “Chink” Sherman has morphed into another Philadelphia favorite.
Current owner Joe Groh grew up in the business as an adolescent cutting meat and peeling onions in the basement. In April of 2013 he changed the name to Joe’s Steaks + Soda Shop.
Some reviews: “Awesome cheesesteaks! We had ours with onions and American cheese. Old Bay Seasoned fries had no salt, so added a little salt and they were good. Definitely would come back.”
“I’m not a cheesesteak professional and have only eaten a couple. That being said, I ordered a cheesesteak with provolone and mushrooms. What a combo! The steak itself was very tasty and not too fat or messy.. The mushrooms melted with he provolone complimented each other very well. The bread definitely is what brought in the whole flavor of the cheesesteak. Also they make very sweet and delicious milkshakes. Would recommend!”
