50 Best Delis near Merion Station

“Absolute best deli I’ve ever been to in my life!!!!! If you haven’t been here on your way through PA, you’re missing the most delicious experience! This is a must!!!!“

“Traveled from TX knowing my husband and I had to try this legendary place!
Ordered a philly, but it was the huge one you find youtube reviews on. It had pastrami, mushroom, cheese, onions, and brisket on a warm toasted loaf. Sandwich was huge! Split it with my husband and we didnt even finish half of our half.
Cant wait to go back and try more the next time I'm in NJ.
Service was great and the deli took you back in time. Only regret is that I didn't order a dessert to go.“

“Thanks for making this page and continuously following the case until justice was served and Kane was safely returned home. Cats are often overlooked and underreported on in these types of crimes but you made sure no one forgot what happened to him. You make Saratoga a better place!“

“Good respectful staff and good food👍🏾“

“Amazing hoagies and other sandwiches. The prosciutto with extra-sharp provolone and roasted red peppers is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had.“

“Koch’s is a neighborhood institution that has seemingly been here forever. Their custom-made sandwiches are huge and delicious. The generous ownership will entertain and feed you while your order is prepared. There’s also a great variety of drinks, snacks, and health food offerings that can’t be found at other local establishments. It’s a neighborhood gem that should not be missed!“

“Amazing sandwiches and warm staff! Never disappointed when I order from here“

“I stopped by Lil Nick's Deli in South Philadelphia and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a classic neighborhood sandwich shop. The place is small and no-frills, mostly takeout, but the focus here is clearly on making really good hoagies.

I ordered an Italian hoagie and it was fantastic—stacked with fresh deli meats, sharp provolone, and crisp toppings on a sturdy seeded roll. The bread held everything together perfectly and every bite had that classic Philly hoagie flavor. This deli is especially known for its high-quality hoagies and cutlet sandwiches that locals rave about.

The staff was friendly and the service was quick, giving the place that authentic neighborhood vibe. Overall, Lil Nick's Deli is a great stop if you want a real South Philly hoagie made with fresh ingredients and traditional deli style.“

“Super clean ! Great customer service ! Good selection ! Fairly priced ! We’ll be back to try more !“

“This place is great! I've been here many times, usually for lunch or dinner. Breakfast sandwiches are good too. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the presentation was spot on. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable.“

“Today I ordered 2 small hoagies. Turkey London broil and Italian along with a Ruben and two containers of fruit. Everything was nice and fresh and I really love the bread. I always say that I’m going to order another kind of hoagie, but I always end up with the turkey London broil, which is my favorite.
Friendly staff and great customer service.“

“We got three fresh sandwiches that were AMAZING in addition to some fresh pasta and sauce that we can’t wait to try when we get home! The customer service there was incredible. We are from out of town but we are SAD to leave this place behind!!“

“Best deli in delco and I will debate anyone“

“we live near by and get this place very often , i pretty much had all variations of food from here and it’s genuinely one of the best delis . everything is always fresh, nothing is really soggy, the chicken is super crispy. the cutlets and the italian hoagie my top favs to get from here“

“The best sandwiches & other Italian specialties in DELCO. Service is friendly & always accommodating. You can’t go wrong with Ro-Lynn Deli!!“

“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“

“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“

“This is the best hoagie I’ve had done I moved from NJ to Ohio in 1989. I’m in town and so glad I took a chance“

“One of the best Italian food spots in the city and THE BEST cheese shops in the city.“

“MY FRIENNNNNNNND! The food is always great. The service is always even better. Despite being always busy during lunch wait times are never longer than 10-15 minutes max. I always look forward to doing work at the aquarium just so that I can have lunch at Bain’s.“

“place an order by phone walk 4 block to store to find out it the wrong location never look ang the menu to found out they have 2 locations on the menu top has Washington square a well as spruce street location. I ask instead Chix breast can I have Chix salad the e women on the phone said no problem. when I when to the store the owner said there was a charge for Chix salad $4.00 more than I said give the Chix breast, so she did. I said to her I am doing a review on the store. walk out of the store the owner coming running down the street after me apologize for the miss understanding and refund me my money back. thank you for fix the problem“

“The large sandwich is bursting with flavor and completely share. I got a small and hubby got the large and neither of us finished.
Wonderful owners more than willing to help you firm up a decision on what to get. I’m stuffed with Gooey goodness.
The patio seating on a wonderful 75° weather day was an added bonus .“

“Amazing food and amazing people every time. I've been here three times now and everything is amazing. I've had the tuna and italian hoagies. The size on even the smallest one is huge and it is also amazing quality. Win/win to come here.“

“With so many places to choose from inside the market, I was looking for a deli sandwich and stopped here and was glad I did! They are very generous with their portions and the ham and Swiss on marble rye I got was very tasty. I wish I was in town longer to try more things on the menu. Definitely recommend!“

“Pork sandwich was delicious, but hubby really enjoyed the homemade meatball sandwich. The potato salad is the best!!“

“Update: I came back a second time and got one of their Aracini balls with eggplant. All I can say is WOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! It was to die for. Literally so amazing with the homemade tomato sauce they give you on the side. I heated it up in the air fryer when I got home and it was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I am gonna be craving it like no other until I can get my hands on one again. I still gotta come back for the chicken meatballs!!!!

Original: I saw this place on instagram reel's and after 5 years of living in Philly I wish I would've found it sooner. I saw a video about their Reaper sandwich which comes with longhot mayo, chicken cutlet, hot soppressata, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I have been dying to try and it did not disappoint. I had to get it without the soppressata because I don't eat pork. This sandwich was one of the best I've ever had in my life and not to mention it was ginormous. It wasn't very spicy at all but I do have a high spice tolerance so that could be part of the problem on top of not including the hot soppressata. The bread was absolutely fantastic and the chicken cutlet was perfect. I know for sure I will be back again in the future. I saw on instagram they also sell chicken longhot meatballs that I want to try soooo badly. On top of my great sandwich, the staff was also very welcoming and friendly.“

“love the meatball parm and mozzarella balls, delicious 😋“

“Great service and always accommodating. Their food is delicious. I highly recommend MiPals.“

“Very clean very friendly and of course delicious food I recommend it“

“My go to spot for sure! Have almost everything I need & great sandwiches . If I ever mention them not having something I need, it’s there next time I pop in.
Only complaint (if any) is that they don’t take credit cards. And sometimes get backed up during lunch since they are so popular.“

“The hoagies are huge and consistent from end to end. Be prepared to wait a couple minutes, call ahead if you can. Miss Sue's sandwiches are definitely worth the wait.
My daughter gets four senior hoagies every time she comes to visit me from South Carolina. The rice pudding is pretty good as well. They accept debit, credit, EBT and cash.“

“we LOVE this special place with the friendliest staff and absolutely the best best dinner ever and the best price too. we get takeout at least 3 times a week and we can eat leftovers for lunch the next day because of the generous portions they serve you. order anything off the menu and you are going to be hooked!“

“Staff was great; kind and thoughtful. Place was kind of messy but not dirty, they just sell a lot of stuff and theres no where for them to store the excess, no fault of their own. If I lived closer this would be my go to deli. The meat was freshly sliced, the prices were reasonable, and theres a park across the street to eat and watch life go by. Nice selection on the menu including falafel.“

“I stopped in the evening of this review (4/15/26) for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a pizza steak with provolone cheese, a side of waffle fries and got a bottle of lemonade all for under$20.00. The steak, cheese and sauce were mixed together perfectly for my sandwich, the fries had a really good crunch to them as well. Everything came out hot and in only a few minutes as they weren't busy. I would definitely recommend Frank's to others and I will also order from them again.“

“This place made me a beautiful breakfast sandwich and they made it w love . And on top of That it exists in the proper cut, in a shopping center w the same name as the street I grew up on . Wowowoww. So impressed . Absolutely delighted . They have yogi tea bags , peppermint tea. I could happily grow old in this establishment I could write a book even“

“love this place. char grilled pork banh mi and tofu banh mi my favorites -- delicious and affordable. going to miss this place.“

“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.“

“Staff is always friendly and courteous even as I call back five seconds later to change my order! Sandwiches were phenomenal as always, never have I ever had a bad experience here! And I was able to pick up some groceries as well- so convenient! 10/10 every time, best hoagie for your buck in delco hands down“

“as always delicious food and great portions.“

“Great Italian hoagie. Authentic South Philly. I do have to warn you - if you’re not familiar with authentic ingredients, like the crusty seeded bread and aged cured meats, it may not be to your liking. Hoagie commissars will love it.“
