John and Pam Lueck celebrated their first anniversary as owners of Joe’s Philly Cheesesteak in downtown Sandpoint. Also joining them as daytime manager is long-time Sandpoint resident Tom Greger. “Owning Joe’s was a way for us to become more involved in the Sandpoint community,” said John Lueck. “The highlight of the year has definitely been getting to know many of Sandpoint’s residents, downtown workers and tourists. Our goal is to offer Sandpoint residents and visitors good food, a friendly atmosphere and great prices.”
The Lueck ‘s have maintained the tradition of serving authentic Philly cheesesteaks started by former owner and Philadelphia native Joe Katz. Each cheesesteak is made from a generous portion of grilled steak and onions, cheese, and served on Amoroso rolls brought in from Philadelphia. In addition, they have expanded the menu to include hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, BLTs, veggie burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and milkshakes. A complete menu is available at JoesPhillyCheesesteaks.com.
Locals seem happy to have a little piece of Philly in their own backyard. Recent customer comments include “best cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia,” “awesome hamburgers,” and the Lueck’s favorite, “we’ll be back.”
Joe’s Philly Cheesesteak is located at 102 Church Street between City Beach and the community parking lot. Store hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 8 pm. For more information, call 263-1444 or visit JoesPhillyCheesesteaks.com.
