50 Best Delis in Philadelphia

“Love everything on the menu! BEST pastrami sandwich ever! Recently went to Rosenfelds in Rehoboth and had the worst experience! Skimpy sandwich, tasteless cheesecake! 4th Street could teach them a thing or two! I love the chopped liver and the matzo ball soup! The pastrami sandwich is to die for! I highly recommend“

“Just had my first Chubby’s hoagie and potato salad. Both were delicious!“

“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!“

“Review and big shout out to the great folks at Dattilios - Northeast Philly. Ordered a Steak with sharp Provolone, onions and long hots. Excellent meat to cheese ratio. Mildly chopped and flavorful steak. Family owned and operated. Incredibly nice staff of people there. Rating 8.5. Recommend it highly.“

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

“I’m nervous to rate and write this because it means more people will come here. But wow. WOW. Best pork I’ve had in a long time. The turkey and cheese hit like a classic should. Will be back, can’t believe it took me 30 years to find this place! 10/10 recommend“

“I have been going to tanos for a while now and their food is great! I personally love the variety of water ice,drinks,candy and even chips! My personal favorite is there ham and cheese on a roll with light mayo. Overall tano is a great person and def can lighten up the mood.“

“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“

“A very cool one stop shop in the neighborhood. We dropped in for a couple of deli breakfast sandwiches and we’re not disappointed. We both created our own sandwiches inspired by some of their preselected options while adding our own touch. The flavors were great, the bagels were good quality, and we saved a part of one to bring with us just so we can have it again. Great selection of snacks and drinks. Looks like they have a cafe but we did not check that out. It smelt very good though! Stop in if you are in the area!

Note you have to take your ticket from the machine you order on to the cashier our front, then take it with you back to the deli when they call your number. The cashier will give you a stamp to show you paid.“

“One the best sandwich I've ever had.“

“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 hashbrowns in town! Good breakfast sandwiches. Very friendly staff. Full selection of drinks, candy, snacks as well. They also carry alcoholic drinks. Sitting area on the back for dine-in. Very clean, great vibes inside. Well worth a visit!“

“Best Sandwich in Philadelphia“

“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“

“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“

“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 .“

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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I work down the street and have tried just about every hoagie in the area, and Yortys is hands down the best. Prices are too, fresh rolls, fresh meat, cheese, and toppings. Staff is quick and friendly and I can’t say that I have ever had a problem there. Being able to grab a six pack is a nice bonus when you don’t want to have to go to a beer distributor. I’ll go here as long as they are open“

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

“Really awesome hidden gem of a place tucked behind a jewelry store!! This place is right by my work and I saw the glowing reviews and thought I’d stop in to give it a try. Both the owners are very kind! The wife took my order and she was sweet and helpful. They have extremely generous portions. I ate half of a 7 inch hoagie and was full. They really stuff them! I got a turkey and I got an Italian for a friend, both were great! Nice they include a small bag of chips for free as well. Will for sure be back.“

“The breakfast at God Day Deli in Philadelphia was fantastic! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. A great spot for a delicious and satisfying breakfast in Philadelphia. Highly recommended!“

“I haven't tried the restaurant however I am a Regular when it comes to buying their BACON🤗🤗🤗 Sooooo many flaveor from lemon pepper to Applewood, pork, beef or turkey it's Delicious. The Deli is Fresh and the Soda Are Delicious. Definitely My Favorite Deli“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fresh Rolls! An Icy and Arctic Tea to satisfy the child in me And a caramel latte to make the adult in me happy! Ham and cheese hoagie, BOMB! Pizza Pretzel Nuggets, AWESOME! A true gem to brighten up our dreary city!!!“

“This place is a good fit for Center City. It’s open late, which is handy. Most of the things are reasonably priced, although if something is clearly priced too expensively, you can just avoid purchasing it. It’s quite handy, and has a bodega/corner store vibe to it, which is cool since it’s located in Center City, Philadelphia, and often you only find stores like it in other parts of the city like Spanish bodegas. The drink selection is similar to what you can find in those types of stores throughout the city, which offers that kind of different selection, which I like. They also have good prepared food and made on the spot food. I would highly Recommend this place. Staff is attentive and friendly as well.“
