“Had “The Paesano” from Paesano’s in Philly yesterday. This is in the Italian market area of South Philly which I love (aside from finding parking) and the people who worked here were all super friendly and helpful.I posted a picture with the ingredients for this one. This had a flavor that I’ve maybe never tasted before all wrapped in one. I enjoyed how it all played off each other (I could eat pepperoncini on anything and be happy too) and the roll was wonderful.Unfortunately I will say that the brisket was a bit tough, which surprised me. I believe it was cut on the wrong angle but there were multiple bites where I really had to tear at it. Had this brisket been as tender as it should have, I’d put this sandwich up against most sandwiches in the city…and I mean that. Put a properly trimmed and roasted brisket on this one and it’s up there with the best roast pork’s and cheesesteaks around imoDefinitely Didn’t Suck, but did leave room for improvement for sure.Check out video and more content on this spot and many others on my social media pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck“
“Great Italian Hoagie spot in the heart of the neighborhood. The Chicken Cutlet is the real deal. They have just enough crunch to it on a worthy Philly hoagie roll. The people here- including owner- are warm and responsive dishin’ out these beauties. Pricing quite reasonable.Thank you guys for breathing fire into an area that needed a for-real hoagie spot.Now easily on the rotation.“
“Nestled within the bustling aisles of Reading Terminal, Hershel's East Side Deli is a pastrami paradise that turns the humble sandwich into a culinary masterpiece. Here, the hot Pastrami Sandwich reigns supreme--a rye revelation that packs the juiciest pastrami, tangy sauerkraut, zesty Russian dressing, and gooey Swiss cheese into a grilled-to-perfection package.Diving into this sandwich is a deep dive into deli delight, where each bite whispers the secrets of sandwich sorcery. Hershel's mastery transforms lunch into an experience, making you ponder the profound joy found in simple pleasures.Overall, with its friendly service and a vibe that's pure Philly, Hershel's earns top marks for crafting not just meals, but moments to remember.“
“Bonkers.Pastries (Leak & Feta Croissant, Bananas Foster Bun) were a perfect balance of crazy crisp and chewy. Savory or sweet, they get it right.Fagioli was delicious and a perfect partner to the sandwiches.As a hybrid (veg/meat) couple, appreciated the make your own Egg Sandwich. Minor structural issues as one reviewer mentioned, but totally worth the engineering!Ordered via delivery and everything was thoughtfully packaged.“
“We loved the casual, unpretentious vibe and great music, with a diverse crowd enjoying dinner on a recent Wed. evening. Our server recommended several things based on what we told her and they were 100% on the money. It's great to find creatively prepared dishes that don't sacrifice taste. Get the brick chicken to share!“
“It didn’t taste the same as how they used to taste to me. It’s been a few years since I’d been there. It was missing something. I remember the hoagies being so so good. I don’t know. But it just wasn’t mouth watering like I remember. Service was great. They were nice and friendly. But I’m not giving up that easily. I’ll be back and try them again.“
“This was my first 'real' cheesesteak since moving up north, and I understand why you guys all talk about them so much. It was great.This was a monster of a sandwich too. My boyfriend and I split it, and I could barely finish my half. The fries were great, but I wish we'd gotten onion rings after seeing them on someone else's table lol. Next time!“
“Delicious! Only had their cheesesteak here, which was very unique. Their non-seeded hoagie roll was also fresh and tasty. The cherry pepper mayo used may get a little overwhelming as there's a lot going into this steak. I ordered online on a late Monday afternoon and took about 10 minutes for two to be made. Will gladly come back.Parking: Street parking on both sides. 2 and 3 hour paid parking available depending on time. Free after posted times.“
“My coworkers and I visited Human Robot and Poe’s Sandwich Joint on a recent work trip to Philly (we have a brewery in Baltimore). Everything was fantastic! We ordered a few sandwiches to share, and they kindly cut them up in smaller portions so we could share more easily. We also got a few orders of loaded fries, which were great for the table. The Italian pork and cheesesteak sandwiches were great, but the Seoul Girl fried chicken sandwich was out of this world. Great combo of flavors and textures. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Human Robot also has a dynamic list of both traditional and more more modern beer styles that really hit the spot.“
“A staple in the Reading Terminal market, so I had to give it a try. Roast Pork Sandwich with peppers - The sandwich came with some thickly wrapped butchers paper. Thinly cut roast pork was kinda dry by them self, but it got better as you make your way down the sandwich. Loads of sauce, soup? Was slowly making its way down the sandwich, thankfully for the abundance for paper there was not too much drippage. Would recommend opening it up and eating it on a table.“
“First time here since the business name changed. Sandwiches are an excellent value and quality continues to be superb. I love the new sesame seed roll option. Chicken cutlet italian had perfectly cooked tender broccoli rabe and punchy sharp provolone. The cheesesteak hoagie glistened and looked amazing! We will keep returning to satisfy all our cheesesteak and cutlet sandwich cravings.“
“This is my second time ordering delivery from Jacks and the second time I am beyond happy. Both times my food was so hot it had to cool down for me to eat it.I would confidently say this is the best cheesesteak in the area.I’ve also had the chicken parm sandwich and fries both also above the average standard of almost any other place around here.“
“Best cheesesteak ever. Come from Boston 1-2x a year and me and my team always visit this place. Superb from the meat to the bun and cheese. Fries are good too. I can’t eat any other cheesesteak anywhere.Bonus outdoor seating on a nice day - clean too.“
“Good GOD!! Was walking home and needed a quick lunch to bring back with me. Such an unsuspecting place - but probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had lol. Got the avocado caprese sandwich on ciabatta, added turkey & got a bag of chips. Paid $10ish plus tip! Speechless at how perfect this sandwich is I had to take a video haha. Will absolutely be back here, found a new regular spot!!Vegetarian options: So much variety!!!“
“This place is great, but every time I order the Napa, and ask for it cold, they grill it every time. Which is weird because they throw a question mark after grilled. Why isn’t cold the default? :/ please stop making my Sammie hot. Place still rules pull up.“
“Today my best friend and I had finished a workout and wanted a salad , I googled a place nearby that would have them and this place stood out based off the website and reviews I could tell they had good and also affordable options for lunch. We both got a toss grilled chicken salad , and it was so good ! Just what we needed after our hard work at the gym . We got the special which was a salad . A side of garlic bread and a drink. I’ll definitely be back in the future“
“We went on a Saturday and loved the place and food. The next day we went back to get more because they are absolutely amazing but they were sold out. My recommendation is that if on Sundays they have a great demand, they should prepare more to please all costumers. Sadly are flying back tonight and we won’t get to have our last taste.“
“Manayunk’s best kept secret deli. I eat in, nothing fancy about dining area (thus the 2 stars). I have only purchased subs & steak sandwiches, both served on the best darn rolls found in Philadelphia I believe. They bring to your table. Both have plenty of meat and or cheese with just the right amount of filler as you ordered. Tucked under the SEPTA overhead tracks, known only by the locals. I found it by pure accident riding the SRT one day and not wanting to be hassled with a long wait to find, be seated, € be served at one of the many restaurants located on the main street. After all, I am only passing through on my bike.“
“I got the vegetarian sandwich and usually a caprese style sandwich gets soggy or has too much balsamic... not this sandwich. The bread was perfect and not soggy. It was definitely a lighter sandwich, but i would definitely get the is again.“
“The cooks were very nice, helped out with recommendations and were accommodating with our preferences for our food. As someone who doesn't often go to places like this, I highly recommend it and will be going again before I'm gone!Parking: It's by the front of a Home Depot, so unless it's a particularly busy day for them, you'll find parking easy.“
“To be honest, I was skeptical because the prices were so low.I ended up ordering only the Cheesesteak, which was a bit bare on the meat, but for $7, it wasn't bad at all, and the flavor of the Cheesesteak was actually pretty good.I think I would go back and try their other options.“
“As a native Philadelphian, I have always been on the hunt for an authentic hoagie that truly captures the essence of my beloved city. I am thrilled to have discovered Fink's Hoagies, a hidden gem that has quickly become my go-to spot for a taste of home.From the moment you step into Fink's, you are greeted with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of their hoagies, from the perfectly toasted roll to the generous portions of high-quality meats and cheeses. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that transport me back to the streets of Philadelphia.One of my favorite hoagies at Fink's is their classic Italian. The combination of thinly sliced prosciutto, genoa salami, and capicola, layered with provolone cheese and topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions, is simply divine. The meats are expertly seasoned and the ingredients are always fresh, resulting in a hoagie that is bursting with flavor.Another standout option is the roast pork hoagie. The slow-roasted pork is tender and juicy, complemented perfectly by the sharpness of the provolone cheese and the tanginess of the broccoli rabe. This hoagie is a true testament to Fink's commitment to using only the finest ingredients.What sets Fink's apart from other hoagie shops is their dedication to authenticity. Every hoagie is made with love and care, just like they would be in the heart of Philadelphia. The staff at Fink's is friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to offer recommendations or answer any questions you may have.In addition to their exceptional hoagies, Fink's also offers a variety of sides and desserts that are not to be missed. The homemade potato salad is the perfect accompaniment to any hoagie, while their freshly baked cookies provide a sweet ending to a satisfying meal.Whether you're a Philly native longing for a taste of home or simply a hoagie enthusiast looking for the real deal, Fink's Hoagies is the place to go. Their commitment to quality and authenticity shines through in every bite, making it a must-visit destination for any hoagie lover.“
“This place was great. Employees were great and really nice and the ribs were incredible. The potato wedges and the Mac n cheese was great. I have never loved a restaurant so much when it was my first time ever having it. I love this place so much.Kid-friendliness: The employees were really nice so they would be really good with kids.“
“Everytime I come and get the FILET MIGNON SANDWICH on Italian breadIt melts in my mouth ... always perfect.... The owner and staff and friendly and inviting....the cashier she's the best and last but not least the grill masters....I travel any where to get Nick's food.....TRUE “
“Was looking for somewhere with breakfast and while they did have a breakfast sandwich I saw the cornmeal crusted fish and fried potatoes on the menu and needed to try it. It was delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside and still juicy on the inside. The potatoes were also great, kind of like chopped up potato skins. Overall very delicious. One recommendation would be to add more sauces to choose from, I was not a fan of the stock sauce.“
“The kitchen faucet was corroded and was chaffing a weird matierial. He replaced it with 24 hours! My battery was dead in the master bedroom. I am so highly impressed with the efficiency and response of this building.Unfortunately I have more heater issue.Very pleased. :)“
“Went here for the first time today and I had a great experience. IHop down the street was packed at the time so my boyfriend picked this spot after walking down the street from there. Soon as i came into the cafe I was immediately impressed with the interior decor and the place just feels so cozy. I got a spanish omelette sandwich and they gave me so many options that comes with it such as fries, bread, and cheese. Cashier lady was really patient and kind too as I asked for least amount of calories and she tried her best to help me figure out what I wanted to get. I got my order to dine in and it was more of a casual dining experience where they give you plates and baskets that you can leave in the bin once you’re done. Food was good really fast and nice service.“
“Updated Post: As much as I enjoy this store (for breakfast), I'll never buy a hoagie or chips from here ever again. I brought a Seeded Roll Hoagie ($14) and what you see in the pic is all that was put on it, NOT WORTH IT! When I opened the chips, more disappointment lol. The chips would barely fill up a 25c bag from the papi store. We live and learn...Original Post: Tried several breakfast items and lunch... Its on point everytime. Never had anything disappointing. Prices are reasonable considering the amount & quality of the food.“
“I always get their lemonade fruit drink from them and its phenomenal, oh and i left money on the counter and went back 3-4 hours later and they returned it to me, at the time i didn’t even know i lost it, great honest people , thanks!!!!!“
“In Philadelphia and wanted some scrapple!! As they don’t really have it in Delaware. So stopped at a mom and pop store and it was a wonderful experience. The Kaiser roll was the softest I have ever and I mean ever had!!! Scrapple cooked well, egg was fluffy and seasoned ? cheese nicely melted!! I will definitely be back when I’m in Philadelphia!!“
“Beat the stadium food. Stadium Grill by Oogie's is the best hole in the wall for people planning to see a game. Why pay $20 for a mediocre burger when you can pay half that for some delicious, greasy perfection. I came in to Stadium Grill before a recent hockey game with some friends for brunch. Sporting sandwiches, pizzas, BREAKFAST pizzas, and more, we split a sausage Boli platter. Bolis are Stadium Grill's specialty; an edible cup made from pizza dough, filled with egg, cheese, and meat, topped with Everything Bagel seasoning and served with a side of ketchup or spicy ketchup (the spicy ketchup is simply hot sauce mixed in with their ketchup). While I'd prefer to eat Boli's with marinara, the Boli's themselves are amazing. One platter comes with enough Boli's to feed 4 hungry dudes and each Boli is densely packed with protein. The seasoning adds much needed salt and packs so much flavor. It's a must get for groups. Stadium might not be fancy, but it's a fast, affordable, and delicious way to prep before watching a game.“
“The mofongo and the empanadas are delicious. I have been going there at least once a week and get the ripe plantain mofongo with chicharron mixed in. You can then add shrimp, fried pork, sausage, pork chops, fried chicken, fried cheese or steak. You get an large portion of the mofongo and a large portion of whatever you add as the side. The empanadas are warm and flaky. I also tried the fried sweet plantains but unfortunately they were not so sweet, but I think they didn't have ripe enough plantains at the time. I will give them a second chance with the fries sweet plantains. The service has been really nice and they are very friendly. For the amount of food you get, prices are acceptable.“
“Since moving up the street, Liberty Kitchen seems busier than ever and the crew is still just as great as always. I’ve always been a big fan of the turkey hoagie but since breakfast has been available, and served all day. I find myself waking up ready for a porkroll egg and cheese all the time. I love what you do and I’ll see you soon.“
“The staff here are amazing and so welcoming! You really feel at home. Coffee tastes good too. Only reason why I'm not giving 5 starts is because when I got there wifi and plugs to charge phone were broken. Nothing was working so I had to cancel my subscription since I was looking for a place to stay studying all afternoon. When management fix that, the place will be perfect then!“
“Got the bulgogi specialty hoagie--it was excellent! One note--there are no places to sit or stand to eat (old photos show tables but that is not the case anymore)--though there is a park with picnic benches about a block away (Liberty Grounds I think)“
“I've been here a number of times, their sandwiches are amazing, the best in center city! I've tried numerous items on the menu and never been disappointed. My only critique is I wish they were open for longer hours and on weekends so I could fulfill my off-hour sandwich cravings!“
“Love this place so much the hoagies r great service is wonderful the place is perfectly clean and staff r always greatParking: The times I've always gone I always find parkingKid-friendliness: They have stuff kids like and they treat the kids great“
“The food is well seasoned and is simple but filling to eat. The service is a little strange as there are 4 workers but only 1 taking orders while the others stand around. But customer wise the service is friendly and fast. The ambiance is that you are outside so you can listen to the construction happening next door or to the outside noises. Overall, this is a good place.“
“At the heart of Reading Market you have DiNic's, home of the renowned Roast Pork! To hell with the overrated Philly Cheese Steak, this is the best sandwich in Philadelphia.... and it's not even close.The atmosphere is from that of a upscale restaurants; it is essentially bar seating. But honestly, who cares? One bite of this sandwich, with that wonderful Italian toasted bread with broccoli Rabe, the au jus from the slow-cooked pork, the pork, topped with sharp provolone cheese and pepperoncini peppers and you have a symphony in your mouth.“
“If you ain't looking for that proper italian hoagie, this is not for you. The delicate balance Cosmi's applies to their sandwich. Perfection.Got me the Tuna Salad Sammy on Seeded Roll with provolone - Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Salt & Pepper.Does not miss. Guaranteed Success Like A Tyrese Maxey Deep 3.“
“This is the first review I've ever written, on any platform! But I feel the insuppressible urge to say this:I bought the Honey Maple Turkey Sandwich.I took a bite.I knelt, I smiled, and then I cried.P.S. The kneeling down part is obviously an exaggeration, but everything else is true. This sandwich... man... it works great wonders. I've never thought I'd write a review for a freaking sandwich, but here I am. And I hope you will too.“
“Buffalo chicken cutlet has 2 ingredients and one of them was forgot (blue cheese crumble). Cutting out half my stars to match the sammich. Disclosure - I'm hungry and irrationally annoyed at the moment. Updated to 4 stars. I'm no longer hungry and their sandwiches are good.“
“My husband and I were in town for the day and stopped here to eat. He had the chicken cheesesteak with cheese wiz and I had a roast beef sub. We both liked our sandwiches. One thing that stood out was that some young kids came in without an adult at the time and the gentleman working the register helped them out and was very kind to them until the adult came in. It was nice to see someone watching out for kids.“
“A lifeline of Jefferson Hospital! Egg and cheese hoagie for 7:00AM breakfast and tuna salad sandwich for lunch. The prices are great for a student budget, too. The owners are very kind and get to know their customers. Sam's Fresh Spot is the perfect pit stop. It's why I keep cash on me.“
“Great hole in the wall sandwich shop. It also is like a mini grocery store which is nice. I ordered two subs: one with roast beef and the other with grilled chicken, and both were exemplary. Not S tier subs, but damn near close. The bread was particularly amazing.“
“We been going here for over 20 years. George has the best roast pork sandwiches. The meat is tender and juicy and always on a fresh roll. 4 stars because we can never get through on their phone. We come a long way and twice they were closed and twice they ran out of everything. Putting up a valid phone number would save me and others who would like to make sure you have the sandwiches and that they are open. 6/29/22…..out of everything.“
“I've come to Bubby's for many years for breakfast and lunch until my job moved to another section of the City. Now I so miss everything Bubby. I happened to be in the area for a meeting and said I just had to stop and get one of my favorites from Bubby's - the chicken cutlet hoagie. You watch the plentiful cutlets being breaded on the spot before being fried and placed in the hoagie roll with any trimmings and cheese you may want. They also do awesome Philly cheesesteaks, hot sausages, hot dogs, and you name the breakfast sandwich and he can probably make it. They also have the sides like fries or onion rings. Or maybe oatmeal or grits. The homemade lemonade is the bomb. Bubby's is so much better than any Wawa. The place is super small and there's no tables...just enough room for about six to wait standing inside the sliding glass door if it's cold and windy or rainy. You have to be patient as lines sometimes get long, but moves quickly. Prices are very reasonable. CASH ONLY! Boy, do I miss Bubby's. I wish he opened up near me! That homemade chicken cutlet hoagie was superb. Yum!“
“My friend was in a real bad car accident this past summer. He got banged up pretty bad and is in a rehab in Ambler, Pa and will be there for a long time. He lives in South Philly and loves Primos. He calls me before I go see him and asks me to pick him up a hoagie and dirty pudding. The staff is great and makes his hoagie exactly the way he likes it. This is a top notch establishment and makes my friend really happy.Thank you Primos!!“
“Want to give a shout out to Donna, who served us today. She was the sweetest person ever, very patient and kind. Pret a Manger has a good collection of fresh sandwiches, and the coffee was great, too. I know this review will not matter to a lot of people since it's only a cafe. But in the world we are living now, ppl are not that friendly and nice when they are behind the counter serving. So if you are in the Phili area close to Drexel University, you can stop over at this cafe for a quick coffee and bite.“
“I’ve been to several Philadelphia cheesecake spots in the past few years that I have been coming. FYI I’m from the DC. And I have to say that from all the Philly cheesesteak spots that I have tried. This one is the BEST.. and DIRT dessert they have is Crack!“
