Steak 'n Hoagie Shop (Matthews): It is widely accepted that hoagies and cheesesteaks were born in South Philadelphia sometime during the 1930s. Philadelphia has now become known as the center of the hoagie and cheesesteak universe. In an opportunity to capture the authentic tastes of these sandwiches, the Steak n Hoagie Shop was founded in 1978 in Charlotte, NC. Quickly, two locations popped up and were doing good business. Those two locations are still around today. The Steak n Hoagie Shop now has a reputation for very good, authentic hoagies. The customers know, these are not subs, they are hoagies and the difference is clear. All around the country, the authentic Philly taste has been hard to find, but rest assured, you found it when you found this website. Come in or give us a call and see for yourself.
