50 Best Sandwich Shops in Philadelphia

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

“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.“

“When in South Philadelphia one must go to…“

“Loved it!“

“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!“

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

“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.?“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you’re gonna come to Philly, get a sandwich at an authentic place where the staff and owners care! We discovered it while perusing the neighborhood from out of state. What a treat! Ordered at the counter, ate at the bar by the window. Such a fun little discovery! Great sauce, great burrata, bread, vibe. Come here, leave happy!“

“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“

“Delicious sandwiches great staff“

“Today we had the sausage and peppers breakfast sandwich, and it was fabulous. We’ve also had Bud’s breakfast wrap, Smalls’ Italian sandwich, and one of our favorites is the Chicken Cutlet sandwich. Fantastic sandwiches. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and consistently friendly service. Having lived in the neighborhood our entire lives, my husband, son and I all agree that it’s one of the best additions to the area!“

“Nice crew that makes good food and GF too.“

“Thank you Finks for the great food everyone in the party enjoyed the food. Highly recommend Finks great options and a great value for my money“

“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 food, incredibly friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Highly, highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I always get the turkey and Cooper sharp with a bag of chips. Everything looks good and is always fresh! Very nice staff as well.“

“I was hungry and I asked my friend to recommend me to somewhere good. He sent me to HAPP’S I am not disappointed at all. My food was delicious, service was beyond excellent. I will be visiting again. I live 30 minutes away but it will be worth it.“

“I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten from there.“

“Not just good but the best food in the northeast Philadelphia and they don't make no small sandwiches“

“So nice, we had it twice! Unbelievable sandwich, roast pork, broccoli rabe, provolone - wet! You won't regret it, we honestly couldn't say more about how good it was, we had to go back to enjoy it all over again! Balancing act of the flavours hit just right, and we suggest definitely getting it wet!!“

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

“SOME FIRE SANDOS UP IN THIS PLACEEEEEEEE“

“Best Philly cheesesteaks around!“

“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“

“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!!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff with food for every palate.“

“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“

“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!“

“Stopped by on our way out of Philly after locals recommended the place. The cheesesteak and brisket & cheese sandwiches were delicious. Loved both but slight preference on the cheesesteak. The half and half is perfect! Staff is very friendly and kind. I would absolutely come back if I’m in Philly again.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Sandwich in Philadelphia“

“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.“
