Big Joe's Sandwich Shop Reviews
We are in town from Hershey for the Metallica concert and cannot say enough about the food and service. Excellent food, great pricing, amazing portion size, and wonderful service. Thank you!
Best steak and cheese in town. !!
I am not from town. I was staying about a mile away. Google showed good reviews for this location. They almost lost my service because they didn't open on time. I decided to wait and give them time to open. It was worth the wait. I ordered a Big Cheesesteak and a Lil Special Italian. Both of them were huge, packed with tons of meat, and delicious. I will say the Special Italian was by far one of the best if not the best hoagie I've had.
