50 Best Sandwich Shops in Philadelphia

“Exceptional food, staff is incredibly friendly. Paesano's hosted a private event, the results were spectacular. A very welcoming environment. Pete, the chef, accomdated allergies, took the time to talk a bit about the courses. I will definitely be back to Paesano's.“

“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!“

“We have been by this place several times. Decided to stop today. The food was delicious. The staff was nice. We orderd a cheesesteak and their new cutlet Caesar. They were both amazing. We will be going back!“

“When in South Philadelphia one must go to…“

“I’ve know Jay for sometime now, back when he was hand delivering his handmade stuffed ravioli and sauce from a secret random Instagram drop that was sweeping the area. I told him I can’t wait til you get something to call home. Que in Farina Di Vita. Hard work pays off, eh Jay. I’m so happy for your success.
Oh and the sandwiches were phenomenal (not surprised)“

“Was as good as advertised. Found it by Triple D restaurants. Never disappointed with his places.“

“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!!!!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Heard about Jack's at work and had to try. Well I was so excited that I forgot to pay for Italian half hoagie and lady signaled me to pay. After eating I was amazed of the great taste.?“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“good spot to do that..need more green peppers“

“SOME FIRE SANDOS UP IN THIS PLACEEEEEEEE“

“This is the best sandwich shop in the Philly area. It’s attached to the Home Depot store n Bustleton ave. It’s hard to believe there isn’t a line out the door. I believe it’s due to the large Ukrainian population in the area.“

“First time in Philadelphia and we had to go to the Italian Market to try the food. My wife and I tried George’s and we loved the Philly Cheesesteak!! Definitely give it a try!!“

“The food was very decent tasting, it could
Have been a little hotter as I was waiting for it and received it the minute it was finished but it was t very hit. The loaded potatoes were also slightly under cooked, not quite raw but also too firm to cut with the plastic knife“

“I eat here pretty much every day before work. The food is always amazing and you genuinely can’t beat the prices. Both of the dudes working the truck are super chill and down to earth. My favorite thing on the menu is the pancake sandwich but I’ve tried over half the menu and it’s all great.“

“We used NESCO to cater our son’s graduation party and everyone raved about the food. Everything was hot, ready in time and packaged well. We had wings, pulled pork, Mac n Cheese and meatballs and all fantastic!!“

“Best place for a cheese steak but to tell the truth all their sandwiches are fantastic. And they are always adding newer items. Always the best quality too! While most restaurants may not be as good as they used to be, it is the opposite for Tony & Nick's. They started at a very high level and seemed to exceed it.“

“I've loved their bbq filet mignon & spicy boneless chicken with jerk sauce for years but unfortunately I can no longer afford them. To get 1 of each of these platters with tax, delivery & tip took the total close to $70. I don't know when I'll get their food again. Super super bummed about it.“

“Have had quite a few of their items and delish every single time. Highly recommend this place. Always going to be a stopping g point before or after the game“

“I stopped in to get a two foot or as Primos calls them a whole audiablo hoagie. I grabbed chips soda and a dessert. It was all fresh delicious and moderately priced. Primos costs a little more than your average hoagie shop but the quality is more than worth it. Fresh baked rolls and generous amounts of Thurman's quality deli meats and just the right amount of fresh vegetables. I highly recommend this place if you want quality delicious hoagies.“

“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.“

“You have to pass thru at least 5 times a week.... I enjoyed the cheesesteak with fresh chips. The chips always come late.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff with food for every palate.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“
