Cheesesteak and Roast Beef Sandwich Expansion Report
![Bread: Amoroso's kaiser roll. Innards: Tender and flavorful roast beef from the flat and round parts of the steer. Sandwich secret: Order an "overpoured combo with outs," which means extra gravy, cheese, and the crispies – crunchy burnt bits on the outside of the roast.

Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef
A sandwich may be a humble thing, but these three sandwich shops are really going places. Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef (locations in Springfield and South Philadelphia) is opening in West Chester, Tony Luke’s is expanding into Manayunk, and Joe’s Steaks + Soda Shop is looking at a March opening for its Fishtown location.
According to West Chester Dish, Nick’s Roast Beef is slated to open on Monday, Februaary 23rd. The new location will be at 1215 West Chester Pike.
Tony Luke’s is opening a Manayunk storefront, which comes on the heels of two Atlantic City locations. Philly.com reports that the 4007 Main Street location is slated to open this fall.
And as for the much anticipated opening of Joe’s Steaks in Fishtown, the old building has created some hurdles and we’re hearing the tentative opening date has been pushed back to March.
