Willy-joe's Steak Shop - Allentown

Probably the worst cheese steak ever had served on a hotdog roll for Godsakes. The chili made my stomach hurt like a mofo for about an hour. Will say the price was cheap.

Great hot dogs, the chili is a little salty and a little too greasy. But I ate two everything dogs and wanted to go back for two more. Good dog

Grease...ugh. The bun was like a grease filled sponge. The meat was overcooked. The taste of the condiments was overpowered by the flavor of burnt grease. The hotdog was another waste of money. All we could taste was mustard. The chili was almost nonexistent. [Accessibility] It's a sub level with steps.

I come here and the woman is so friendly and we have great talks! She remembers me too and always makes a great S.O.B sammich! I love this place so much that i tend to over order because i want to eat everything they have. Not a thing on the menu ive found to be bad or non enjoyable yet!

Brimstone here with another Tidbit in Allentown, PA! Little place (literally who packed powerful flavor in EVERY bite! Willy Joe's has been in business since 1945 when factories overran Allentown and business was thriving. This location was originally owned and operated by William Josephine (hence the name Willy Joe's , and this spot was, is and always will be a name to be reckoned with! Current owner Rich and his partner bought into the establishment at some point in the eighties and opened up a second location (also in Allentown . Once Josephine was ready to retire, she invited Rich and his wife Holly to take over the spot where it all began. And so we begin... We started off simple with what locals call the Dog Everything... raw onions, mustard and home made chili sauce on a steamed bun. I'll start by saying the hot dog had the allure of a NYC dirty water dog; but without all the concern for your health! The dog was juicy, had a light crisp to the skin, and packed a really nice flavor which worked really well with all the condiments on it. Even without ketchup on it, (if I wanted the full experience from when Josephine was in charge the flavor was bold and well blended. Now the kicker was that it'll only set you back $1.30 with EVERYTHING!!! Meanwhile, only an extra .24 cents for their special cheese! Nothing crazy, nothing fancy... just a good old fashioned tasty Hot Dog. The next hidden treasure that we sampled was comically called the SOB... Steak On Burger (should have been for Sss' Only for Brim! . The Hounds sucked that bad boy up stat! Unreal, a cheese steak burger with banana peppers, that yummy chili, pickles, onions and their secret Steak Sauce that was BOSS all nestled on a freshly steamed Kaiser roll! I'm naming this one my personal WIN of the day. Quickly to follow were the Chili Cheese Fries and NOTHING is better than fries that STAY crispy with all the trimmings hot and dripping on top! The cheese is off the hook; a blend of cheese whiz with some other secret cheesy ingredients Mmm cheese! Did I say cheese? One trending topping at this spot is the delicious specialty steak sauce, this stuff is addictive... once you eat it; you just can NOT get enough! Quite literally, this BOSS of a sauce made our two cheese steaks unbelievably amazing! The Allentown Cheesesteak (I was quickly corrected that this is certainly NOT a Philly Cheesesteak was bursting with flavor, the extra splash of chili added to the love; but the special sauce tied everything together to truly make this work. Lush claimed his favorite was the Chicken Cheesesteak which he attempted to eat right off the griddle. That sauce yet again rocked the taste buds! There was no special seasoning on the chicken; all the flavor came directly from the sauce which has been homemade here for years. We all agreed that they should bottle that sauce up and give everyone the opportunity to indulge in its awesome sauce ness. Lastly, we were treated to the Chili Con Carne;
