The worst cheesesteak I ever had. Ordered it and I think it was already pre done. The girl went into the back and came back less than a minute with a sandwich in her hand. So messy and tasteless!

But it's only for takeout and it's also one of the oldest places here in Reading, but I love it because everything is so fresh, it makes you want to order everything.

I have been getting mostly the Italian hoagies from here for a couple years now, and typically was satisfied with my order. I love some onions on my hoagies but not the ENTIRE onion (at least this can be remedied by simply taking the excess off). Lately the hoagies would also be literally bathed in oil and vinegar and this one is not so easily remedied as everything slides off and gets soggy fast (so forget saving any for later). We typically get 2 large Italian hoagies on a hard roll (we do not like the soft rolls). The last time we called for our order a few weeks ago, they were out of the hard rolls. Well, this was not told to us until we called later to say we didn't get what we ordered. I said to the girl we ordered hard rolls and were never informed they were out of them. Being asked if soft rolls were OK to substitute would have been appreciated as we would not have ordered that day. There is definitely a taste and size difference in the rolls, and you won't know until you're home excited to satisfy your hunger only to find it isn't what you ordered. The girl said she would have their manager call me. I left my name and number and never received the call. Typically, I am not one to complain, but I am big on customer service and having a satisfied customer. So, if I am choosing to take out, and a particular place over everything else, I expect satisfactory service and order. I ended up throwing my greasy incorrect hoagie away that evening and have not ordered again.Side Note: When the hoagies ARE made correctly, they are 4/5 stars hands down, which is why we were getting them there. No place is perfect 100% of the time (hence why I said the onion and oil/vinegar excess was not the #1 issue). Communication is your best friend. Always.

Sorry but the food wasn't made the way I wanted plus I ordered 2 diet Pepsi's and they gave me regular they didn't toast the tuna grinder and my cheese steak didn't have cheese!!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING they were soggy and the sauce tasted really funny I couldn't even eat it or drink my soda because I'm a diabetic. We literally had our food to our dogs. Sad I need to go to Philly for a decent sandwich

The food is pretty darn good. However, the way I was treated last time I was there will not allow me to ever go there again. I called in my order, mainly to help them. When I arrived, another customer was just behind me, so I was nice and held the door for them. Apparently by being nice, I screwed myself as they acted like the guy I let in was before me in line. I even told them I called in an order, which was sitting on their counter unrefrigerated. The guy behind the counter basically ignores me, takes the time to make the other customer multiple sandwiches and ring him up. He could have rang me up and got me out there right away, but chose to make me wait. I felt it was disrespectful, so I will not be going back.

Screpesi is clearly the best when it comes to Italian sandwiches no other sub shop can imitate what they do. See y’all
All their food is so yummy. Look forward to running to Reading.

I have been going to this place for a great sub since 1978. This is and will always be an Icon to the Reading area.

It's rare I give 5 stars and I wanted to give 4 because they've increased their prices from $7.50 to $12 for large turkey and cheese over the past couple of years. I hope they are maintaining the same quality of meats and just passing inflation on to consumers.Great sandwich shop that my mom went to as a kid and she's 73.Sandwiches and rolls are fresh and delicious.
