“Friendly deli with lots of other goods from Italy. I got the corned beef sandwich. They were able to give me a small side of free pickles and my oh my the pickles are delicious! Free small parking lot out front. Friendly staff. So many options for sandwiches!! Highly recommended.Caution: cash only.“
“Came in from out of town and stayed at an airbnb thats really close by. Decided to try to the steak egg and cheese bagel for breakfast and when i first opened up the sandwhich and saw the cheese oozing out i knew it was gonna be the best steak egg & cheese bagel i ever had and it was. Also got a cheesesteak here on my last day. It was tasty and way better than a cheesesteak from Geno's. If i ever find myself in Philadelphia again i will try to come back ?“
“What an unexpected find this was after climbing the Rocky Steps! It was time to indulge in a hearty breakfast and why not try the Christie's Breakfast sandwich. Filled with satisfying ingredients including crunch (hash brown patty) spicy sauce (garlic Siracha) and yummy fried egg, cheddar, onion and pork roll on a toasted croissant. PERFECTION. I thought I was in Heaven. Very friendly staff. Don't miss this local gem. Low key ambiance-quick serve style.“
“A must go to in the Italian market in south Philly, as soon as you walk in you get hit with an aroma of so many good Italian foods to pick and choose from. The pasta is a must try can’t go wrong getting a few cuts and finding your personal “
“This place is a Gem! The Owner is just amazing, his hoagies are the best! Quick service, affordable eats, great vibes, friendly, opens early enough that I can pick something up on my way to work and awesome customer service! My L&I Supervisor tunned me into Tano's and I'm glad that he did! Thank you Sir, for the amazing service you provide!Parking: Early in the morning (6am to 7am) plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: What I haven't seen in a minute: Candy jars with gummy fishes! And again, the owner makes it so easy to have a good experience while there, because he's so friendly!“
“The best hoagies joint in the area. My husband and I often get hoagies from T&F as it is much closer and their hoagies are very good. But when it comes to quality of meats, Haggerty is the best. I had Hagerty's BLT also and it was great.The owner is a very nice young man and it feels good to patronize a local mom and pop shop“
“Not only was the food beyond delicious our server Lucia was so sweet!! We had kind of a large party for breakfast and we had some of the best service we’ve had in Philly. Everyone here looks like they love what they do…they even brought us over free cake and cookies when they heard us singing happy birthday to someone in our party. Fan for life.“
“Vegetarian options: Happy they provide a meatless choice.Parking: Worth the effort to find parking. The food here is amazing. I'm from out of town and when I go to Philly I make sure to stop here for the hoagies, pasta dishes and so much more.“
“Great choice if you want something tasty real quick but don't want a fastfood. These guys cook like top chefs ?Also, they have coffee. I mean Real Coffee, freshly grounded and prepared just for you with their 15 bar espresso machine. So if you're from Europe, get your coffee here. Italy-grade stuff.“
“Came here for the first time after seeing the highly rated reviews. Wow, they are well-deserved! Almost hidden in the Jewelers' Row District is a small, hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop that will have you leaving with a big impression: their hoagies are just fantastic! I ordered a 10" roast beef hoagie with lettuce, onion, tomato, hot peppers, provolone, and mayo, and almost had difficulty finishing it because the sub was packed! Everything tasted fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised that the hot peppers actually had some heat to them.Pam, who rang me up, is a very sweet person, and the shop is run by her and Joe. The owners recommend calling in to place orders as it takes some time to slice everything fresh, and today they actually sold out early afternoon as I was finishing my hoagie. Keep in mind this was a Wednesday. Needless to say, I will be coming back!“
“I love this deli. The guys who run it are classy guys. They LOVE making custom sandwiches for me, they really go out of their way to provide extra. Another thing they love is when you get a chicken cutlet sandwich and you ask for gravy on it, but you call it sauce.All jokes aside this is the best deli I have found in Philly. 6 stars out of 5.“
“Delicious breakfast, affordable, and the chefs/staff are all wonderful. Love the breakfast platter, but the breakfast sandwiches are also fantastic. Also the cheesesteak on a seeded roll is really one of the best in Philly and the cutlet hoagies are so good. Cozy and comforting, it’s just a great place.Vegetarian options: Lots of great veggie breakfast options and a few lunch hoagie options for vegetarians, too! Plus homemade soups.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families here, has options that almost all kids will be open to!“
“One of if not the best Banh Mi / Tofu hoagie in the city. Has been around a long time, over 15 years for me. Neighborhood staple and very friendly owner, family business. Many unique items I tried for the first time from this place. Cash only!“
“Growing up in NYC this place has given me a great comfort in Philly with its similarities of my favorite bodegas. Great place to grab a snack or actual food to eat. I’ve had a good chunk of items from their menu and they never miss, so yummy. Super friendly staff working here.And always ready to give your fur babies a nice treat. ?“
“I just ordered a crispy tomato hoagie, along with a veggie hoagie and an Italian hoagie. Still, my favorite place to order from. Antonio, the owner, still takes orders over the phone and the delivery is prompt. Thanks, Antonio for your delicious food and service. 12/28/20The hoagies are delicious! The sandwiches are made to order and are consistently good. They are made fresh and this is one of the best places to order a hoagie tray. My personal opinion, the best veggie and Italian hoagies. Their pasta salads are good and their hot roast pork is a must try. What is also nice is that you can call over the phone and have your sandwiches delivered.10/23…I didn’t get to take a new photo but the hoagies are just as good as ever. Jackie took my order over the phone and she was so patient and kind. Picked up my hoagies and I really haven’t been here in a long time. Love a place that is clean, the staff are nice and the food is delicious! Of course, I have to make it known, the hoagies are made to order and on Sarcone hoagie rolls…can’t get much better than that. Antonio also mentioned he opened a second location in West Philadelphia, wishing him much success there. Once the people try his hoagies, they will know how awesome they are!“
“I had hoagies from a lot of places throughout Northeast Philly to South Philly and in between. Point is, this is the mecca of Italian Hoagies. Grateful they made their way up to my old neighborhood. The hoagie is stacked with enough meat that a half will probaly fill you up. Quality and quantity is hard to be beat.“
“Dietary restrictions: When it wasn’t well-known, I was gluten-free. The owner said he did not have gluten-free rolls, but if I brought my own in, he would make my hoagie on it. They still do not have gluten-free rolls (which I would love to see change in the future), but they do accommodate. For that, it puts their service far beyond other hoagie shops. And did I mention besides that, their hoagie meats are just better tasting than anywhere else.“
“We were lucky enough to catch this gem on an episode of Kelly Drives and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! We'll definitely be returning when we're in the area. Definitely recommend!I grew up in west Philadelphia so my standards for a hoagie are somewhat high. The first thing my wife said to me was "this is the best hoagie since we moved back to the area". That was in 2019 so we've had our share since.Bottom line: Delicious sandwiches, great people, fast, efficient, and fair priced!“
“This place rocked on lunches for when we were fixing up our new home, I guess you can say I'm a regular now. Coffee is the best corner store coffee I ever had. I have a coffee pot, but I prefer theirs. Snacks are always fresh, never stale, and lunch meat is awesome. Great prices, very clean place, great people that welcome you in, and they have my favorite coconut mexico popsicles that are fairly priced considering. Great place. I'm not crazy about their ATM machine though. I havnt been able to figure out how to bypass the balance check, and unfortunately I get charged a fee for that, plus withdrawal. Comes out to be $7 to take money out from that atm. Just make sure you go with cash. Other then that, the place is great!!“
“The meat on the sandwiches was sliced thin, which was great.The wrapping paper wasn't tight enough, and one half of a sandwich fell.Service was quick and friendly.Napkins and wet wipes should be provided for customers, especially since the food and drink are placed in paper bags for easy transport.I rated the atmosphere 2 because it was claustrophobically crowded, and overly warm.Kid-friendliness: Even my picky eaters could find a sandwich they liked.“
“Old school service. What a bunch of good guys. They're happy to serve you strike up a conversation and maybe even entertain you with a song. Great sandwiches nice variety of groceries and pastas good butcher department. You should definitely stop in. It's a real neighborhood place.“
“This place has the type of customer service you'd expect but rarely find in the City of Brotherly Love.The Woman at the front counter is so personable and human. You know she genuinely wants to help you and wants you to enjoy your experience in the store. This is top tier customer service and I'd go just for that.“
“This hoagie shop delivers quality (Deitz & Watson) lunch meats with a smile! You can have your hoagie made by them, or buy the rolls and lunch meat to make your own at home. When I order my hoagie I ask her to make it the opposite way she makes others, which is the correct way to make the sandwich. For some reason she thinks the lettuce and veggies should go on first, then cheese and lunch meat. I know I won't be able to eat a whole hoagie in one sitting and I'll have to wrap half back up for later. If the lettuce is what makes contact with the bun, the hoagie will be soggy later on. For me it should be cheese, meat, lettuce and veggies (on top) in that order. Picky? I think not. I ask for this because I like her shop and I want to support her small business, she doesn't mind at all. If you want your sandwich made the conventional way, you'll have to ask.While the worker or owner are making my sandwich, I check out what she has in her store. I like to get a big pickle, chips, and rice pudding. I get the rice pudding immediately because there may only be a few and someone else might choose this popular dessert. I check her freezers for good tv dinners and for water ices. The water ice is pre-portioned and prepackaged but still yummy. It's easy to just grab one. There Are other groceries available here, so I can grab what I need quickly.The owner is super nice, I consider her my friend. Always pleasant and smiling, I'm happy to give her my business at every opportunity. So, try calling ahead because the shop can be busy, and enjoy a banging sandwich from party time!“
“We ordered a sandwich platter for our wedding party to snack on while we got ready this past December. They got to the venue easily and quickly and the food was great! The sandwiches garnered the approval of all the old cranky men and that’s no easy feat.“
“Memphis has consistently great food and a great value. Both cooks and cashiers are always courteous. I feel lucky to have them just a short dog walk away from my house. Really appreciate the dog hook they have posted to the wall out front. Appreciate y’all!“
“I love them! I was worried they wouldn't reopen after the pandemic. Huge menu, lots of breakfast options as well. I've never had anything I didn't like. Corned beef, turkey club, French fries (some of my most recent orders). My only tiny complaint is post COVID-19 the bakery section was greatly reduced & they did away with my fav' dark chocolate & toffee covered pretzels. You can't really find them anywhere else.“
“Little Nick's, hands down has the best sandwiches in Philly, if I could give more stars I would, EVERYTHING is out of this world!! I don't leave reviews, but as I am eating my cutlet with sharp, I just had to. The best around, I've had just about everybody in Philly, can't compete with this place, Lil Nick's is the King of Kings!!“
“*Tourists* hometowner's like myself know "Pat's" and "Geno's* cheese steaks are TRASH!!!!!!! GOOEY LOOIES has the best Cheeese Steaks in Philly, hands down!!!!! The meat is high quality, juciey, real steak that's flavorful and packed on those soft and resh steak rolls....and plenty of American cheese is melted into it....GOOEY LOOIES is just like the name says: GOOEY! And that's a good thing. I didn't even have Mayo on mine because with the steak juice and the ketch up it was perfectly GOOEY. I will never buy a cheese steak or Italian hoagie from anywhere else because of how deliciously tasty theirs is!!!!! I didn't even have to request "PEPPERED HAM" for my Italian Hoagie which if not offered on it is a hanious mistake and says something about the establishment that you are visiting. The corner store hommieness was so appropriated ill be back often I predict. Got my mom a seafood salad hoagie, she loved it....my dad, I brought him a corned beef one and he's jumping for joy!“
“So I Was in a rush while out and needed turkey Lunchmeat. So I googled deli near me found this lil gem! Once I got inside I seen all the sandwiches they had and was tempted so ordered 5- 1 ham and cheese hoagie 1chicken cutlet hoagie 1old world Italian and 2 Pisano….well they were all packed with meat these were amazing sandwiches. My husband said he stopped getting Italian hoagies because they always use ham on Italian hoagies and it’s not the same, NOT Chubby’s OMG delicious and the pisanos sandwiches did not disappoint they were so good!! Also the people there were very kind and friendly we definitely found our new hoagie shop!!“
“I work in the area and had the hardest time finding a good hoagie. I stumbled across this place and all I can say is OMG, THIS IS A HOAGIE!!! The meat, cheese, roll, everything was so fresh. I don't usually do turkey hoagies but this turkey hoagie was to die for. Thanx Lori's Deli, you have gained a new customer. I live in South Philly and definitely will travel for your hoagies. If the hoagies rock, you know everything else is on point also. Keep up be the good work guys....God Bless“
“Stopped here before a sixers game, and I was not expecting to have SUCH a good hoagie. Always have to try one hot and one cold. The italian had a great variety of quality meats and had a perfect ratio of meat to toppings. The OMG cutlet was simple but tasty- we chose the grilled version and it was like a caprese salad in a hoagie. Would return for sure to try another style. Staff was awesome too, and prices were super reasonable.“
“If I could give them more than 5 star I would . We have known the owners from many years and nothing but amazing food and friendship. The meats, hoggies, and salads are always fresh and taste delicious. The workers are super sweet and will talk to you for hours. Nothing but love for the people and the food.“
“I never write reviews but y’all need to get yall sandwich’s from here bec they’re always BOMB!!! The staff is always really nice and helpful with their explanations of everything. I always call before hand so I never have to wait around“
“Nice spot, near La Salle campus and it is very much needed. The service is good, the food is deliscious and they are very quick with your orders. You can use the kisok or go to the counter and use cash. The catering is very nice also.Dietary restrictions: they will adjust most meals just askParking: street parkign onlyKid-friendliness: the kids will like it but mostly older kids and adults use this location“
“Fantastic meats, rolls and sandwiches. They slice everything fresh and the prices are reasonable. When I get a hoagie here I have enough for leftovers. The atmosphere is very basic and clean- it's a deli- nothing more. You get your food and go. Staff is efficient“
“Aside from the smaller than expected portions, food was excellent. Counter service very friendly. Philly hosgies were very good. Can't beat the bread. Don't forget the pound cake for dessert. A tasty one of a kind! Well worth a visit.“
“Heckers son still owns it he never got married n.wow he would of made someone a fantastic husband it was great.seeing the store n my old house were I was born n raised i.sat in the park.n ate my radio ball n took my 2 Chihuahua prince n Ginger a wall around the grace yard were I walk my first Chihuahua I was 8 n his name snoopy I miss him“
“Ah yes, the Grays Ferry Deli. What's not to love? Great breakfast food, awesome cheesesteaks, fresh fruit salads, tasty homemade drinks, etc. This small neighborhood spot gets busy, so it's best to phone in your order. Don't forget to bring cash.“
“I am addicted to their bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. I stopped in one morning for one, now I find myself eating them for my routine breakfast everyday just about. When I think of community based Crown Deli takes the cake of being a place that has a special place in Morrell. Great food and most importantly great people who never disappoint when it comes to hospitality and service!“
“I just got a 6inch Italian from One Stop for $7 and it was loaded. It even felt heavy when I picked it up. Top quality meat and cheese on a pretty good roll. It was way more then I thought I would get for $7. Excited to try their other sandwiches and very happy to have them in the neighborhood.“
“I stopped in looking for new foods to try. This tiny deli is packed with all kinds of specialty polish foods. Loads of imported items. The deli case was packed full of gorgeous cheeses and meats all looking very fresh and priced reasonably. Shelves feature dried mushrooms, a fantastic selection of pickled fish products, pickles, sauerkraut, fresh breads, cereals, snack foods, jams and preserves and frozen pierogis. The whole store is brightly lit, impeccably clean, abundantly stocked. I will be returning and next time I will be better prepared to use my phone to help translate so we can order some of the broad selections of head cheese and sausages. The ladies working smiled politely and seemed friendly even though our ability to communicate was hampered by a language barrier. Overall if we lived in the neighborhood I would happily shop here regularly.“
“Antonio’s veggie sandwich is one of the best I ever had, yummy. It was delicious, generous amount of Eggplant, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone topped with long hot peppers, a drizzle of 100% olive oil, salt & pepper on a quality fresh Italian bread roll.Check it out, I highly recommend it.“
“Excellent service, the young man who attended was very patient with the translator application on my phone. He offered me the variety of the menu and was super attentive. Eat the chicken sandwich with pesto sauce, super special. My mom and I had a very good and refreshing time. I give them 100%“
“Really excellent chicken cutlet sandwiches! The best one I've had in Philly by far! Quaint place on a corner over by East Passayunk in South Philly. Definitely a diamond in the rough for a great sandwich spot. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and try any of their hot chicken cutlet Sammy's, you will certainly not be disappointed. I had the chicken cutlet sandwich with mozzarella, red peppers and balsamic glaze and it was fantastic. I also tried out the chicken cutlet Cesar Sammy and I enjoyed that one as well. Can't wait to try more on the menu! I will certainly be craving another one soon.“
“Great customer service. We ordered a meatball sandwich. The meatballs were huge! And delicious. If you order the meatball sandwich, request a side of sauce. Dip your sandwich in the sauce.Their ready made salads are also very yummy. Street parking is available.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.“
“Picture the quintessential neighborhood corner sandwich shop of your dreams - this is it. This is the spot. Found it today and knew at first menu glance it’d be dope. The daily specials (kielbasa & egg sandwich, and Italian melt) were great and already thinking about the next ones I want to try (ex. The Bobby). Slaw, pickle, and Vietnamese iced coffee were great too!The place was happily busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon - line inside but I ordered ahead online since I was walking my dog, and their service was great — I literally stepped inside and within 2 seconds someone came out to greet me, I said I placed order, they said my name and handed me my bag and coffee.I don’t know what we the people of Francisville did to deserve Sandwich Corner Market, but my heart is full (and stomach)(Can you guys maybe make like, a little sandwich sample flight? Like 3 little sliders somehow? I want to try so many at once but can’t be slamming like 3 sandwiches and foresee myself stressing in the future over which 1 sandwich to pick per order)“
