Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop, formerly named Chink's Steaks, is a cheesesteak restaurant founded in 1949 in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Controversy over the restaurant's former name led to the owner renaming it. A second restaurant location opened in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia in 2015. In addition to its cheesesteak sandwich specialty, the company sells other types of sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, and other foods. In 1949, Samuel "Chink" Sherman opened Chink's Steaks. Sherman, who was Jewish, was nicknamed "chink", an ethnic slur commonly used at the time, because his eyes were almond-shaped, considered to be a Chinese characteristic. Sherman died in 1997. In 1999, longtime employee Joe Groh, purchased the restaurant from Sherman's family. More information...
