50 Best Sandwich Shops near Lafayette Hill

“been coming here since the 80,s.took both my kids here in the 90,s.me and wife still order it til this day and probably when I pass.“

“Loved it!“

“I’ve walked by this spot so many times, and it seemed every time I was hungry they were closed (closed on weekends) but today I finally stepped in. I ordered 2 bánh mìs and a Vietnamese coffee. Pete, the owner/operator of the spot was the only one there and we instantly jumped into great conversation about the music scene in Philly back in the late 90s. We ended up knowing a lot of the same people. Philly is a tight knit group. So even before eating the food I was already a fan of this spot. Pete served me his special take on Vietnamese coffee while we talked and he made the sandwiches. The iced coffee was excellent, but different and less sweet than Vietnamese coffee I’ve had in the past. He also used ice cubes made of coffee which was an added bonus for a coffee junkie like myself. After we talked for nearly 20 min, I walked home with my sandwich and WOW! Such a solid bánh mì! I told him to make it like he would make it for himself (spicy) and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing all my music friends here when they are in the neighborhood. I highly encourage Olde City residents as well as Philly locals to give this place a try!“

“The best place for breakfast and Lunch 🥪 100% Beef lovers. Also fresh cheese cake 🍰 2 slices each. Delicious every day nice and clean. 🙏🙏🙏 please visit #Hershel’s East Side Deli“

“YESSS OMG I miss their food BEST place to eat wings and cheesesteaks, but they moved, dont know where to“

“Absolutely delicious! We got 2 Italians and the breakfast burrito, as a Jersey girl the pork roll was top notch. Italian was excellent as well, obsessed with the flavor from the arugula and onions. Good portions for price. Couldn’t afford a tip but would if we could, much deserved!!!!!!“

“Great food great prices great atmosphere, owners were kind and courteous…☮️“

“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!“

“My wife and I had the Korean Chicken and Spicy Chicken, both of which were outstanding. The fries and pickled beans were also tasty. We were served quickly and the service was friendly and attentive.“

“Was craving cheese fries and heard Poe’s has great ones. Can confirm the cheese sauce itself was very tasty. I wish the fries were crispier, they seemed like natural hand cut fries but got too soggy. Some sogginess is expected with hot gooey cheese on top, but I’ve had crispier.

Still want to come back and try one of their sandwiches!“

“The hoagies are great, the cheesesteaks are amazing, the chicken Parm is killer. Always fresh ingredients and large portions.“

“It’s dated, a bit worn, and absolutely perfect!
First time here, so I got a small Zep, a small cheesesteak, fries & a coke.

Zep sandwich - absolutely awesome!!! The cooked bologna (which refers to how it is made, as it is still a cold-cut and is not fried and served warm as I was expecting!), was a tasty variation of salami that I really enjoyed. Served on a local “Conshohocken roll” - which was puffy/doughy/yummy. Garnished with provolone, ripe tomatoes slices, generous onion slices, olive oil & spices. I then added some of the pepper relish (not spicy) that was in a jar on the table, to mix up the bites. Unique & delicious - a great sandwich!

Cheesesteak - I added grilled onions, lettuce, tomato & mayo. The meat was juicy, flavorful, of high quality, and was just the right amount. I enjoyed the softer hoagie bun (as opposed to the crusty sesame seed variety usually served in the city at the traditional places). A really good cheesesteak!

Fries - the only thing I wasn’t
“wowed” by. Totally fine, but nothing special.

Coke - came out of a fountain, and included a refill - the way it should be! Bonus - it tasted a tad syrup-heavy, which I’m not complaining about…

Overall - this place is a gem, and is worth a visit if you are in the area. The food is great, and walking into the restaurant is literally stepping back in time. Loved paying at the register on the way out, with requisite random candy for sale on the counter. Reminded me of going out to eat with my parents as a kid in the 70’s.“

“Last night, Lindinger's catered our wedding at Free Will Brewing in Perkasie. They had someone come out to set up all of the food for us, and she did so in amazing time! She was very informative and helped us ensure all of our food stayed hot and fresh.

The food was absolutely delicious, my maid of honor stole the extra pasta and potato salads to bring home!! Extremely affordable and plenty of food for 100 guests. Thank you Lindinger's for being a part of our special night!“

“Ordered a sandwich to pick up on my way to work today. Ordered the Carmine and a banana pudding. Both were absolutely phenomenal.“

“First of all, very kind and genuine staff. Delicious food and an insane beer selection. Grab and go fruit, kimchi and other snacks. Peaceful spot to eat-in and sip a beverage for lunch. Once asked if they could stock a six-pack of a particular beer and it was on the shelves 2 days later. Grilled chicken club on multigrain bread always hits! My favorite deli in the city“

“Food is amazing I really enjoyed the mozzarella sticks, little bit pricy. Staff is very nice and helpful. One thing is lack of seating especially because it was rainy. For that reason it gets a 2 on atmosphere overall however solid place and I can see it being very good for takeout.“

“Thank you to the team at Steak and Hoagie Abington for helping make our fundraiser a huge success! The hoagies were absolutely delicious—the bread is the best around, and each hoagie had the perfect amount of fresh, flavorful filling. Everyone loved them, and we received so many compliments. We truly appreciate your quality, consistency, and support of our fundraising efforts. Highly recommended!“

“Great made-to-order spicy Chicken cutlet sandwich on a long roll, and sweet chile wings! Both were delish! and my sons both loved what they got. Next time you're getting wings or having people, check out Charlies in Villanova! So good!“

“turkey hoagie was great. Real Turkey. that will be my goto now. Will try other things.“

“The service is always the best. There’s a reason why they’re number one business in Fishtown for two years in a row. The food is great. I’ve been having this food since I was a little kid. The pricing of the food is also very reasonable“

“I only get to order from here a few times a year unfortunately, but every time i get something from here it is great. Eggs are always cooked perfectly. They're variety is fantastic. Cupbop is always great and hardy! They are a family and very friendly people every time. This most recent experience was interesting. I placed an online order and went to pick it up and when i got there all the lights were out due to a black out. I saw someone else go inside and talked to the owners about my order, and they still made my order for me in pitch black! I have never had a restaurant do this, ever. Every time i can get down here and have time i will support them. Everyone else should as well.“

“Absolutely amazing place ! The food is delicious, especially for breakfast brunch and lunch . The place is spotlessly clean, the service is quick, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. The value for money is excellent and honestly it s the best spot in the area . Highly recommended !“

“amazingly tender and tasty baby back ribs-- and their BBQ sauce is a smoky delight. i recommend the meat highly, and felt the price was reasonable!“

“First time here and the staff were so friendly! So I got two Zeps and I had no idea what they were but it’s just a sandwich with meat and cheese and thick onion and thick tomato. Not bad but I had no idea till I bit in. The prices were very fair the bread was really good and I’ll definitely be back!

Quick note to anyone new like me it’s CASH ONLY.“

“The two gentlemen working were super nice/ helpful.

I Came here because a few guys on the construction site recommended the cheesesteaks.
They did not disappoint, one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had in a long time and I frequent the Philly area“

“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.“

“This place is the best price to food ratio anywhere near Temple. The owners are great, both super nice guys who will go out of their way to help you. Prices are crazy low for this economy, you can get a combo that'll be two meals for under 10$. Long live footlong truck!“

“It is the most delicious sandwiches I ever eaten. As an Asian, I like food with rich seasonings and good taste. I couldn't find it since I came to the USA 3 years ago, then I found it in Tortorice Italian Sandwiches. I like the spicy one.“

“Simply the best hoagie in the area. Old school. Owners trained by the originators of the franchise. Huge sandwiches made with quality ingredients on the best bread available. If you haven’t tried Lee’s East Norriton then you haven’t had a hoagie.“

“First time having Primos in a while- didn't remember Primos having so much variety on their menu before. Got 4 hoagies, 2 sides and 2 chips. Order was completed in timely manner and the hoagies tasted great. The sides were okay. They forgot the toppings on the sides that were requested but no big deal.“

“Amazing all around! Such kind people here, and a wonderful and unique selection of drinks and snacks (including healthier options!), plus the takeout wraps and sandwiches are so fresh. Even the pre-packaged bakery items were 10/10. This is such a gem, and I will return whenever I'm in the area.“

“Found this spot on DoorDash and ordered the braised beef “cheese steak”. It was worth the money for sure! Sandwich was a good size and had a good flavor. My only issue was the sandwich was a bit too salty for my preference. Other than that I really enjoyed it and will be ordering again soon.“

“Mrs. Monique provided amazing customer service at Wonder. She was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Her positive attitude and attention to customers made the experience stand out, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work. Employees like Mrs. Monique are the reason customers keep coming back she is a true pleasure to the Wonder experience.“

“This new location is one of the best primo's I've been too. Their food, quality and price is top tier, and I regularly get this location for my team. The service is always friendly and quick. The owner is a great guy and truly cares. As a business owner myself, I can see the work and effort he has put into this location.“

“These empanadas are amazing! I bought two each of the chicken, beef and cheesesteak and they were all great. They are a good size, the meat is juicy and the dough is perfectly fried.

The service is next level too. They went out of their way to help me out of a jam.

Great food and great people. You won't regret eating here.“

“SOME FIRE SANDOS UP IN THIS PLACEEEEEEEE“

“Table seating is not a guarantee. Had gotten there early (9:30/10:00) because I heard from a friend that they sell out fast. It’s definitely worth eating for breakfast. Everything blends so well together, not hot sauce is needed, but also welcomed.“

“Found this great little place on yelp! and was so glad we did. We came with a large group and they were very accommodating. Very personable owners, great food, fun place!! Tons of sandwich options and they went above and beyond for my daughter who doesn’t like bread. Thanks again, Marie!!“

“Wawa is closed at 900 block of Walnut Street (Feb. & March 2025), so I tried Sam's for a breakfast sandwich. Good sandwich at good price, and quick. Happy camper. There is no place to sit. Take-out only. It's a small deli and convenience store. This is my new Wawa.“

“I decided to look up somewhere to get something fast to eat near by this place popped up and had good reviews. Despite of the bad ones I decided to try it for myself I bought there cheesesteak fries and soda lunch special along with a brisket sandwich I also upgraded my fries to the Spanish fries, let me tell you something I wasn’t disappointed at all everything was great, flavorful, and hot it’s definitely a place to go to when I’m down the city! Especially knowing they have chili dogs which sometimes can be hard to find. This is a go to spot to hit up. Here goes a photo of the food except the brisket sandwich I downed that fast lol“

“All American deli ran by the owners - can’t beat it. Great food, extremely clean, don’t miss out on an Ambler Borough staple“

“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!“

“Richie is there every day to greet you with a smile. And although it can get really busy, he has an efficient system & tries to get you your food ASAP. Food is good & coffee is great too. He also makes each of his customers feel really special, which is a nice plus.“

“First time today. My wife got The Ashley and I got The Scuba Steve. We both agreed that they were awesome with everything, including the rolls were fresh. Also got an order of Cheese Fries, cheese on the side. Not a lot of places have good fries. Wolfs are fabulous!!“

“Great food and great people - very friendly. Took a chance on some hoagies that I would normally never order and they were all delicious!“

“This place was great! I had the tropical pancakes with the fruit cooked in and baby when I tell you some of the best breakfast that I had thus far! I cleaned my platter lol, I had tropical pancakes with eggs & beef bacon. I can’t wait to go back, everyone was friendly and food was amazing!“

“Muy rico Muy buenas atenciones“

“We use Primo Hoagies regularly for company events so we're already loyal fans for the food alone, but today the Old City team went above and beyond to correct an oversight by a third-party delivery person and that deserves a glowing review! Placed a rather pricy catering order and the driver forgot half of it. The Old City team called Door Dash repeatedly to no avail and when I called to see if the rest of the order was there Jay (and another team member whose name I didn't get) offered to walk it over in the freezing cold, during the lunch rush. Truly exceptional service, thank you both so much! If I had access to petty cash I would have tipped. You turned an otherwise disappointing experience into a truly positive one. Thanks!!“

“Great service great food awesome staff! Stop in and give it a try if you havent already.“
