Joe’s Steaks and Soda Shop

FishtownCheesesteak, Sandwich$

Joe’s Steaks and Soda Shop offers a retro dining experience with milkshakes and egg creams — and a classic Philly cheesesteak. Owner Joe Groh — who began working at the shop as a teenager — purchased the place in 1999 and put his own name on the marquee in 2013.
