Let me start with that LaSpada's is my go-to hoagie spot. There are so many of them around and many, MANY of them are good. But none of them are LaSpada's. None of them deliver the same way they do, with perfect seeded bread, great quality meat, high quality cheeses, and everything perfectly stacked and squeezed so nothing falls apart. They also aren't the cheapest, but considering the menu prices I've seen lately for cheesesteaks and hoagies elsewhere, they are still on the softer side of the pocket, providing SO MUCH sandwich for the moderate price tag. Steering away from the Old Fashioned Italian is very hard for me because it is just so dang good. However, I have had many different things on their menu, essentially running all the way through the hoagie list, trying their cheesesteak the way I like it prepared, boneless wings, salads, etc. and nothing I have had has ever been disappointing. Never cold, but I have never had delivery. I am someone who generally will prefer to pick up their own food, simply because I'm usually out and about anyway, and you can never account for who is delivering your food, or what happens between the time it leaves and when it gets to you. Although, I have heard their delivery is legendary for being quite quick. In my many travels here, I have had the opportunity to sit down and eat, and the space is pretty typical for a sandwich spot in Delco. No frills, but why should you need them when all you're looking for is a delicious sandwich that will fill you up and make you smile and want to take a nap afterward. The rotating cast of characters behind the counter are generally the same four or five people I usually see, and they're all generally nice; I have never had a bad experience or bad encounter, but it is the kind of classic place where you are expected to get your order over with and keep it moving, whether that be in person or over the phone. Some people may be bothered by that, but that's a general feature of living in the Philadelphia area, and if you're not used to it yet, you're likely not from here, or simply not adjusted to it yet.....you will eventually. Besides, everything here is worth it, and this should definitely be your next stop when a sandwich is on the bill.

"We were looking for a place that had cheese steaks and a bar on a Thursday evening. The cheese steak ended up being super good! I was was surprised! My husband got a great deal on drinks - he ordered the City Wide special which was a PBR and a shot of whiskey for just $6."
"This is a no-nonsense, no-frills cafe. I placed my order on a touch screen and sat down. I ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Both of which were good. They weren't knock-me-over great, but they hit the spot. It was a relaxing way to kill some time in the morning and get a more substantial breakfast than the "bacon, egg, and cheese on white toast" that so many places offer."
