This cheese steak with sauce and mushrooms and onions was just like I remember when I was growing up in Colombia.!! Basket block to them with their business being open and I will be back very soon. Thank you Jose steak shop keep up the great work and the place was very clean.

I love their cheese steak sandwiches. I add lettuce, tomatoes and raw onions. It had a very fresh roll, the steak meat was tender ( no gristle or fat) and the sauce was just the finishing touch. The sweet potato fries are great. Top your meal off with a fountain soda with a splash of flavor (we add vanilla). This is not a fancy place however I highly recommend it for a steak sandwich!

Having live near Philadelphia most of my life I think I know a good cheesesteak when I see one and eat one. Mr. Joe’s is a good cheesesteak! Ignore some of the negative reviews and let me setthe record straight. Some people said it’s old and tired. I believe the inside is nostalgic. Some people complained about the quality of the steak. I got it with sauce and onions and cheese and thought it was excellent. My wife had a grilled cheese and tomato that was outstanding and the french fries fresh cut were crunchy.

I only went here because it looks so old school...like places I remember happily from my youth. I've only had two cheesesteaks from here and they were perfectly wrapped and absolutely satisfying. Seriously, my favorite cheesesteak. I just moved to Columbia and they're maybe a block from me. Thank God.

I like it. It has an old-fashioned type of vibe. The ladies seem polite. The food is in score 6 out of 10. The drinks are not to good.

Amazing! The bread is not too tough like most places, but also holds up if you get sauce because the sauce is thick and on top away from the roll (I used ketchup for this one). Probably the best meat I gotten in a cheese steak, and chopped to perfection. It sounds like some people feel uncomfortable eating alone if they don't have other customers (???) Weird, but I also ate alone and it was a nice view and the staff was very friendly. For the price and convenient location, you really can't beat it! Size pictured is half of a medium sandwich.
