45 Best Sandwich Shops near Lafayette Hill

“Stopped here for dinner tonight and enjoyed it! The hot roast beef was very tasty, and so was the rice pudding! My husband and I split an order of chili cheese fries, which were okay. The atmosphere was a little lacking- the place felt old and a little run-down, and everything was served on small plastic plates, which was a little cheesy. That being said, id still go back if I was really craving a roast beef sandwich!“

“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!“

“Hershel's East Side Deli is located near the center of the Reading Terminal Market, and was quite busy when I went, although it was Saturday around lunch time so that's to be expected. Great service across the board, was met with a smile by everyone I interacted with despite the crowds. Getting to the main attraction, the pastrami sandwich is out-of-this-world delicious. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I originally thought the price ($17) was a bit much, but it is well worth it for the experience and the portion size was so large I easily made two full meals out of it.“

“These guys put the joint in sandwich joint! Seriously love their sandwiches, especially creativity and effort they put into their creations. I’ve never had unique sandwiches like the sandwiches these folks make. Especially love their different specials they throw out there. The Uncle Tony v2.0 is a favorite cheesesteak of mine.“

“If you want a cheesesteak in Conshohocken, this is the place to go. My wife and I ordered cheesesteaks to go and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE. The level of customization is unparalleled. The amount of meat was gratifying. The bread was very fresh. I HIGHLY recommend coming here if you want high quality cheesesteaks. And if you have any doubts, read their story in the "about us" section of their website. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Best spot to get a cheesesteak in all of philly. They are truly rated as a 5 star shop. Service is impeccable and being from another state, i still had the home feeling when here. Food is top notch and the vibes are great. Definitely a spot to check out when in philly!“

“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.“

“We had Lindinger’s caterer a baby shower for our daughter yesterday. SO grateful that our other daughter was familiar with them through her circle. WOW, they really did an amazing job! They were so helpful, professional and easy to work with. Their pricing beats all and their food is terrific. Delivery was on time and they took care of all the set up. You should absolutely use this company, we highly recommend and will be using them again. And again.“

“Seriously the best hoagies in Philly at this location. Owner seems like a good guy, the staffs very Philly (I mean that in a good way), sandwiches are always very filling at a fair price. Been coming to place for years and years now, always making things better and still great“

“It has the triple threat. Great food, great service, and great prices. I love sneaking away from work to get an amazing zep of cheese steak!Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible and I'm sure anyone there would help out. Friendly all around.“

“The best sandwiches in the world the best salads in the world the best coffee in the world. Believe me I’ve been around the world twice and this is my favorite spot for lunch. And dan is the best !! And everybody else that works there is excellent and polite.“

“Best little hole in the wall mom and pop style deli. I’ve had their cheesesteaks, hoagies, and breakfast sandwiches, all fantastic. They also have a few grocery type items if you need something, I haven’t yet but nice to know it’s there just in case. Workers are all very nice and the food is always made to order. So glad this place exists!“

“I have been a truck driver in this area for years now. I have seen this place nearly everyday and today i finally decided to give it a chance. I am highly critical of all food establishments as you can see from my other reviews...And im so glad i did....The gentleman that owns the place is absurdly nice, hes so great and polite.He seemed like he knows the locals well and they stop it on long trips from different places for a bite to eat.I got a hoagie with corned beef, lettuce tomato mayo oil etc.It was GREAT.I am constantly at delis and places in and out all around Philadelphia area cause of my profession and this one tops all of the chain sandwhich shops in the area. AND DAMN CHEAPER TOO WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY AT ALL.Everything was fresh and so tasteful. I even got the rice pudding and boy, was that MILES better than Primo hoagies.Will enjoy coming back here again in my travels real soon!!!“

“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.“

“We recently ordered a hoagie platter from Steak and Hoagie Factory for our party, and as always, they did not disappoint! The hoagies were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. They even make their own bread, fresh daily. The staff was helpful and accommodating, making the service exceptional from start to finish. Our family has been coming here for many years, and the consistent quality keeps us coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and friendly service!“

“We have lived within 5 minutes of Stockyard and finally tried it today! Wow, it was delicious. The whole pig sandwich was so flavorful . The pork had a great sweet savory flavor which played nicely with the more subtle vegetables. The only thing I would change was having it served on a more crusty bread but otherwise fantastic. The fried chicken sandwich was also busting with flavor; the sauce on it was delicious. The portions were more than generous and I had lunch and dinner as did my husband“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was excited to see a new Banh Mi restaurant open in Ambler and Rosey's didn't disappoint. I've been there twice so far and the food is delicious. I've had both the chicken and pork so far and both are tasty. I highly recommend Rosey's!“

“I’ve worked around here forever but never knew they existed and I stumbled across their Instagram and figured to give it a try! I’m so happy I did. So far I’ve had a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie and everything was so good! I will definitely be coming back for more daily! Thanks coco grille!“

“I just moved into Rittenhouse Claridge and my experience has been great so far! John in the leasing office was very helpful and answered my many questions very promptly. Anita was at the front desk during my move in and is so pleasant and helpful, she made the experience very smooth. My apartment was very clean when I moved in. Also, the location of the building is amazing! Lastly, If you need parking, there is a garage under the building operated by LAZ parking, and Bala, the garage attendant, is wonderful. So far, I would definitely recommend living at Rittenhouse Claridge!“

“Work at senior center ambler and was introduced to this place by coworker. The best Italian hoagie in pa. My mother in her 70s like it, and my family visiting from abroad. :) They hired someone new to make the hoagie, still good but prefer the friendly young lady who works there continuing to make them.Happy New Year to them!“

“Affordable food at a great price with consistent service. I am never disappointed when I order from here and it's always busy! The owners are very nice and always make me feel welcome. Rey it for yourself and I don't think you would be disappointed.“

“The cheese steaks at this location are the best ive eaten in all my 14 years of life. The staff is super nice and they take their time preparing the food with love and care. The young emo one was very patient when taking my order, even cracked a funny joke that made me laugh. It wave a very good time, and the food was even better. Live, Laugh, Live“

“I bought and enjoyed a "Castlewood" shorty hoagie. I split it with my wife, but couldn't tell her where I'd bought it, because I'd also filled her Christmas stocking with the great imported candy Quigg Deli stocks. If I had told her where I had bought the sandwich, she'd have known that I'd have gone there for the chocolate.“

“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.“

“Can't say enough positive things! We had my husband's surprise party here and everyone LOVED it! Not only was the food yummy (holy mozzarella) but the staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make the night special. They went as far as to coordinate with me to have a decoy sales person at the store entrance when we arrived ensuring that it was a total surprise when he walked down the stairs to find 17 of his closest friends waiting with drinks in hand. Great food, awesome staff, love the BYOB. Highly recommend private events here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“For a girl who is from the South and doesn't know much about sports- this is one of my 'happy places' when I am traveling in the area for work. I always enjoy the atmosphere, friendly staff and I always love the chicken cheesesteaks at Lee's!“

“Don't discount this place because they're a chain. They've got fresh and delicious sandwiches. Their menu offers both the classics and some novel creations of their own. Transactions with the employees are always fast and pleasant.“

“personally, despite being vegetarian I am a big hoagie girl. and dare I say there is a right and wrong way to make a hoagie. have no fear: jersey mikes does it the right way. for a vegetarian, some hoagie establishments think to compensate the lack of meat with cheese. my biggest pet peeve . but jersey mikes knows what to do. I order a cheese hoagie with lettuce onions pickles salt pepper oregano oil and vinegar (chips on the side). with the jersey mikes hoagie everything is balanced. I will not find a inch thick layer of cheese with just a few lettuce shreds. it's even, consistent, fresh. what more can you ask for. I haven't been in store, but generally jersey mikes has a few tables and it's quite quick with an assembly line style thing going on. they also have vickie's chips which is a win in my book.“

“This place makes the best Primo hoagie I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh and delicious. Also looking forward to trying their chocolate chip cookies - I hear they’re bomb.The owner, Pat, is a super friendly and down to earth guy who really cares about the community. I was especially impressed to hear about the extra lengths he went to in order to keep essential workers fed during COVID. Great sandwich, fantastic management. Give them a try!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We ordered subs on Tuesday, 4/9 for pickup & unfortunately when we returned home, we realized that we were short subs. I called the store & talked to the manager who apologized for the mistake & offered to make us the missing sandwiches or refund the money to our credit card. We accepted the refund & was told it would take 2-3 days . This morning we were notified that the money had been refunded. The staff could not have been more accommodating.“

“The Portland panini is one of the best veggie sandwiches I've had -- albeit veryyyy messy! I think the prices are fair but slightly expensive because it really is a takeout place, unless you want to share a communal table or it's nice enough to eat outside.“

“I got a mixed hoagie tray for 10. And a tray of cookies. They were so good. Not only were they ready to go but one of the employees carried the hoagie tray out to my car. I have placed this order about 6 times in the last four months. Cast and crew on a local tv set love it.“

“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.“

“I’ve worked near here for years and ate lunch from here almost daily. The food is always consistently good, and the customer service from the owner and whoever’s answers the phone is always professional and kind. Sorry I demolished my food so fast that I couldn’t take a picture. My fav from here is the chicken ch steaks. And the fries are like no other! 10/10 recommend.“

“A hidden breakfast on the fly spot right on the corner of Windrim Ave they make a heck of a breakfast platter at least the couple times I stopped through in recent years this place and Kim's seafood up the street have been Nostalgic spots to get a grub for me for years both have good Fresh food .“

“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.“

“Kevin and Kyle were excellent. I came in the store late one afternoon and asked for a special order which they provided before close that same day. They could have sent me away but followed through with great service and great hoagies. Amazingly friendly and good as their word. Did I already mention they make great hoagies?“
