Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop
Like a few other places on this list, stepping into Joe’s Steaks + Soda Shop is like walking onto the set of Grease. On a casual weeknight, this Northeast Philly place with a throwback jukebox and antique-looking bar stools is the go-to spot for a cheesesteak that has cheesy lava pouring out of it after a single bite. And, just like the famous musical, the oniony bites full of provolone, thick slabs of beef, and mayo (which makes the sandwich super creamy) may have you randomly breaking out into song as you enjoy it.
