Dattilo's Delicatessen

★★★★★ 4.6 (114)

"Great Italian specialty spot if your looking for imported Italian groceries and a solid sandwich. When I was a kid my mother used to take me here often for her favorite Mortadella and at the time it was one of the only places you could find Nutella. They still sell Italian playing cards and Italian cornicello to hang so you can ward off the evil eye aka malocchio. Fresh produce, dairy/cheeses, olives, Italian coffees, juices, olive oil, sweets, panettone, fresh bread, deli meats, pints of Bassett's Ice Cream etc., all sold with help from a great staff. On my last visit I asked for an Italian hoagie with proscuitto and extra sharp provolone. I believe the guy told me it also came with hot capicola, genoa salami and pepperoni. It took a little bit to get my sandwich as they were very busy at the deli counter, but it was worth the wait. My sandwich was packed with meat and on a fresh roll (which I believe came from Corropolese, but don't quote me on it). Lots of spicy bite from the hot capicola, great kick from the sharp provolone and wonderful flavor from the proscuitto. Overall, it was a solid above average premium meat Italian hoagie.I took home some Italian wafer cookies, chocolate filled Croissants and a bottle of Brioschi which kicks butt if you ever need all natural quick effervescent digestive relief. (Thankfully I don't have problem often, but when I do, I thank God this stuff exists!) Dattilo's is an older Italian market and doesn't look fancy, but to me it's still a very relevant staple to the Northeast community run by good people."

Lee's Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (210) • $

"I ordered from Lee's Deli because I know they have carrot cake made by the mythical "carrot cake man". The carrot cake man has been selling his carrot cakes on public transportation for many years. I didn't just order the carrot cake. I ordered a sampling of desserts along with an Italian hoagie. It is a deli after all. The Italian hoagie was a good hoagie, but nothing memorable. It will not be my go-to spot for an Italian. It seems none of the desserts are made in house, but they definitely know where to get them from The carrot cake was the same cake I remembered from years back. Very moist with the best cream cheese icing I've ever tasted. The red velvet and pound cake were also outstanding cakes. Right up there with the best Amish cakes. The sweet potato pie was just OK. I wouldn't get that again. I had 3 outstanding desserts, so no complaints there. But the deli part doesn't seem to be up to that very high bar."

Roma Deli

"No frills deli in delco. Nothing left to be desired. I wanna meatball hoagie in the middle of a busy Friday afternoon they are here. If i want cheesecake they got that too. They are family owned and operated and i really have no complaints. Call your big orders in, cash is always better than a card, and i guess the parking is cool but it's kind of hard to get out. Park and walk from the other lot. Other than that this is a mainstay from the area give them a try!"

"Great place to stop in and get some drinks to take to the various BYOB restaurants in Rittenhouse square or down Walnut street. They have a great variety of local beer and wine. They also have prepared foods, the guy there saw me looking at the sign for Kimchi French fries and quickly offered to make me some fresh but we were already going to Sahara Grill which is why we stopped to buy drinks, but great service and good prices."

Mont Clare Deli & Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (19)

"I have gotten sandwiches from here twice. The first time I had the Eagleville Sandwich (Homemade Roast Pork, Spinach Leaves, Sharp Provolone, Roasted Garlic, Long Hots, Onions, Creamy Garlic Sauce). You really have to like onions because this is loaded with onions. The second time I had a Ham & Cheese Sandwich (Boars Head Tavern Ham and Swiss Cheese). The sandwich was full of ham which I liked. Both times the people who served me were very friendly. They serve Reading Soda Works sodas. My favorite is the Honey Pear. The Black Cherry soda is good but the cherry flavor is not as full of cherry flavor as I like."

Katz's Deli Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3 (114)

"Katz Deli Kitchen is an iconic spot in the Lower East Side known for its mouthwatering sandwiches and classic Jewish deli fare. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked bread and the lively atmosphere of a bustling deli.Their pastrami sandwich is an absolute must-try! The meat is perfectly tender and flavorful, piled high between slices of rye bread. And don't forget to slather on some tangy mustard for that extra kick of flavor.The portions at Katz Deli Kitchen are generous, so make sure to come hungry or share with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall dining experience.Whether you're a local or a visitor, Katz Deli Kitchen is a must-visit destination for authentic deli cuisine in New York City.

"Love their Hoagies! They are always packed with meat, and cheese. They definitely don't skimp on ingredients. Ive been here quite a few times to grab some hoagies for lunch and was always satisfied. The rolls are so fresh and taste so good. The last time I came, I ordered a turkey and cheese hoagie and an Italian hoagie for lunch. The hoagie was so fresh, packed with meat ad was very tasty. The hoagie literally had some weight to them which you don't get at other delis in the area. As far as the staff, they are very friendly, but at times can be slow or short staffed and it shows while you're waiting a long time for your take out order. Besides the hoagies, they have chips, soda, cakes, cookies and juices for sale. They also sell my favorite pound cake from Stocks bakery, which is a plus."

"Jems hit the mark as usual!Ordered the meatball special(hot tray full of meatballs with rolls) and a tray of mac&cheese for the holidays!Always so good. Friends and family always asking if the food is homemade, they can't believe I buy it. Great friendly staff producing high quality food."

Timmy D's Deli & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.1 (59)

"I stopped in Timmy D's for a recent take out lunch order and I wasn't disappointed. The woman who took my phone order was kind and patient. She answered all of my questions and took it easy on a first timer. When I arrived, I found plenty of private parking behind their building and I thought it was convenient that they have a back and front door. The inside was pretty spacious and clean. They have coolers with drinks. sides and a couple of chip racks. My order consisted of their famous chili (award winning according to their menu), a chicken cutlet on a toasted roll with spinach and sharp provolone and a cheesesteak. They told me the order would take 15 minutes and they were dead on with their estimate.Now to the tasty part, the Filet Mignon chili was outstanding. For me I enjoy a chili that isn't too thin, but not incredibly thick and theirs is right in the middle. Lots of flavor, small lean cuts of meat, soft white and red beans, touch of cheddar cheese, green onions and a peppery/spicy kick from the middle lingering into the finish. Sadly I went with a smaller portion, but I'd go back for some more in a heartbeat. The chicken cutlet sandwich was decent, the breading had a sweetness to it that was a little different, but that wasn't a terrible thing, the roll was fresh (they told me they use a baker that mimics Sarcone's seeded rolls) and the cheese could have been sharper but was acceptable. The cheesesteak was on the same seeded roll .... points to them for not giving me a soggy, drippy, greasy roll .... but the meat was dry so I suppose that dry roll came at a cost. It could have had more cheese mixed in with the chopped meat. It was a slightly above average cheesesteak in my humble opinion.Would I return to Timmy D's? Absolutely! Besides a return trip for the chili, I'd love to try one of their panini's "spicy ultimate" sandwiches or an Italian hoagie. Thanks guys!"

Hershel's East Side Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (876)

"a 14 dollar Pastrami sandwich that has absolutely fabulous small choppy pieces and neither long thin strips nor thick cut slabs..enough for me to save half. A bit of grease dripping down the marble rye bread (which I agree did not hold up well at all, it was so odd, just dissolved away)You can add all kinds of stuff to it for almost nothing from sauerkraut, coleslaw, to making it a full Rueben or Rachel which is a Rueben plus swiss... I keep it simple with spicy brown mustard & some kraut.Solid sandwich, not one complaint and so much more enjoyable when it's not 32 bucks. As good if not better than any here at home.We waited a very short time & grabbed one seat, then another became available a short time later. Positive experience all around. Looking forward to a repeat sometime soon."

Ranck's Lunchmeats

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"One of the pleasures of living in my neighborhood is having a great deli inside the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market called Ranck's.  It has been there forever I think.  And the name is Amish so it must have roots in Lancaster County which helps account for the quality of what it purveys. You can get so much here beyond just meats and sandwiches - if you eat sausages they are actually very tasty - and some of their prepared preparations will add plenty of flavor to any dinner.  But they do the basics well too - like our Philly Hoagie.  It's my favorite hoagie spot in Chestnut Hill and they throw in a classic bag of our Pennsylvania Utz potato chips for good measure.  Ranck's in the farmer's market is a Chestnut Hill institution."

Honey Bee Gourmet Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (74) • $

"FOODLet me tell you. I have dreams about this place. I was in a rush to grab a quick bite to eat and ordered their Italian hoagie online for pickup. It did not disappoint. They were very generous with the amount of meat and toppings they added to the sandwich, and everything melded in together well in each and every bite. I have no words to describe it other than to drop everything now and go get it.The price is so worth the amount you get, and you can't really beat the convenience factor. Absolutely amazing.SERVICEI was a little flustered my first time coming in as I didn't know how the system worked, but you pick up your order at the sandwich counter and then pay at the counter across from it.The staff are very kind, and have a great sense of family/community amongst themselves and with their customers.PARKINGPaid street parking is available at a limited capacity."

"I was so glad when this place opened in the neighborhood and I could not wait to try some of the healthy bowls or burritos or even the empanadas I have been hearing about! Came here with the family to support the local business and was greeted by staff who explained the salad or burrito building concept. The food items are named after famous Philly sports athletes which is cool. I ordered the "Chamberlain" salad with chicken, chickpeas, onions, and a cilantro lime dressing. The salad was pretty huge and I could only finish half! Definitely will be back to try a burrito!"

3J's Food Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (52) • $

"Stopped by with my dog to order an Italian hoagie a few months back and was stopped by the lady at the cashier's counter. Silly me didn't realize dogs were not allowed inside. Even though we couldn't go inside, the lady at the counter offered to take my order at the door. While we waited for my hoagie order to be made, my dog and I went for a short walk. We came back 15 minutes to pick up my hoagie. As we waited by the front door, the same lady asked if I would like some dog treats for my dog, which I thought was super sweet! She gave me a couple of dog treats and my dog gobbled them up immediately.After we got back home, I unwrapped my hoagie to eat it. The bread was not thick (like Primo Hoagies). The hoagie was stuffed sufficiently and not to the point where the sides would burst. It was the perfect size and with each bite, I got a bit of everything. I could taste the freshness of the cucumbers between the cold cuts. I was gonna just eat half a hoagie, but I couldn't help myself and ate the whole thing.Can't believe I've been sleeping on 3J's all these years. I'm definitely adding 3J's to my rotation of weekday lunches."

"I've been here two weekends in a row now. And I don't think I'm going to stop. Simply put, last weekend I tried the pizza and it may be in contention for best in Delco. They've pulled off a fantastic combination of fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. Let the picture prove it to you. This week it was a simple chicken salad wrap that impressed me. The combo of the bacon and peppers just added the perfect flavor without overpowering it. They do simple foods very well. I'm getting hooked on this place now."

Mi-Pals Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (57) • $

"tl;dr the sandwiches are large, fairly priced, and pretty tasty -- all of the makings of a solid neighborhood sandwich shopIt seems that every Philadelphian has their go-to neighborhood sandwich spot, and Mi-Pal's Deli (named after owner Mike Palestino) routinely ranks among the most popular options south of Snyder. The barebones convenience store-deli hybrid has been slinging sandwiches, from chicken cutlets to Italian hoagies, since 1986.A large, red-and-black sign hangs diagonally from the corner of the townhouse that Mi-Pal's calls home. Inside, the open kitchen takes up most of the already tight space, and the customer waiting area is further cramped by shelves of beverages, chips, Tastykakes, and Italian pantry essentials. The whitewashed walls have red trim, accentuating the comfortably unpretentious vibe. The barebones operation is outfitted with ceiling fans but no air conditioner. Multiple flat screens are mounted on the back wall, and a radio hums quietly in the background. The staff members all focus on slicing meat and preparing sandwiches, while a short queue of customers awaits their orders.Armed with a Grubhub coupon, I scheduled my order in advance through the app. When I arrived, the staff had yet to even see my order, but they promptly completed it within 5 minutes.I ordered the Italian Inferno hoagie with extra meat. I had heard that the "inferno"-style sandwiches tend to underwhelm in the spice department, so I supplemented my sandwich with Chipotle Gouda and a side of Jalapeno Aioli. The foot-long seeded roll was stuffed to the brim and was large enough to adequately split between 2. The prosciutto and hot capicola were plentiful and delicious -- the staff truly outdid themselves with the "extra meat". However, the hoagie lacked a certain oomph. Both the gouda and sharp provolone felt muted, and the signature fried long hots had an overbearing flavor yet only a mild, lingering spice. I found the jalapeno aioli to be a richer, spicier, and more complementary addition.The base sandwich was $12, and it neared $18 after the supplements (which I added on to meet a GrubHub minimum). Of the extras, I felt that the double-meat and the aioli were worth the additional charge. While I think the Mi-Pal's is a more-than-serviceable neighborhood joint, with hefty sandwiches and fair prices, I can't see myself returning unless I'm already in the area."

It's a mostly Peruvian menu and the food is incredible (and super affordable). I went in this morning expecting a standard corner deli and was delightfully surprised to walk out with a delicious order of arroz a la cubana. The space is clean and the people are nice. I'm excited to have this place in the neighborhood and hope they do well!"

Castellino's

★★★★★ 4.9 (86) • $

"Castellino's has become my go-to spot for everything. It's the most convenient, yet most delicious and high quality little corner shop in the area. Need an extra ingredient you forgot to pickup at the grocery store? Come here. Need fancy and unique items for a charcuterie or cheese board? Come here. Just can't decide what to make for lunch or dinner? Come here. There's a little bit of everything for all your wants and needs.As for the sandwiches........ O. M. G. I look for any excuse to order a Spicy Nepa. Road trip? Don't feel like cooking? Want to take a stroll outside and just happen to [intentionally] walk past Castellino's? You name it, I will jump at the chance to feast on one of these. No exaggeration - I'm usually good about taking and uploading pictures to Yelp, but every time I get my hands on a Nepa, I lose all train of thought and inhale it immediately. I've also had the Hoagie and Adranos (which are both really good), but I can't help but keep coming back to old faithful.Other than the variety of tasty and fresh products, another great thing about this place is that everyone who works here is beyond kind and accommodating. Example: I didn't realize that the giant 2lb bag of arugula in the fridge wasn't for sale, and one of the staff offered to weigh it out for me if I wanted to buy some. It was so sweet (but also semi embarrassing on my part). If you're in the area and need a meal or an appetizer or an ingredient of any sort, definitely stop by. You'll find what you're looking for and more."

Haggerty Deli

"I finally got around to hitting this place up during the COVID lockdown for take out after knowing about its existence for close to a year. Have always wanted to try it out though but often new places get overshadowed but the existing good ones. Ended up getting a couple of Italian Hoagie's which came to around $14 even. The two hoagies were some of the heaviest I've ever felt packed with meat. These are on an amarosa roll which is different than the other places that uses the seeded rolls. Overall a solid sandwich which took two meals to finish."

"If you are ever in Philadelphia, you must stop at this place! I wish we lived closer and could go more often! This time we tried a few new dishes and all were delicious. Also tried a few we had before and were still just as good! I don't think you can go wrong here! Food: Potato pancakes just as good as I remembered and love the apple sauce where my husband prefers the sour cream. Husband got the huge roast beef and loved it! Plenty of meat! Good rye bread and he enjoyed the potato salad Chicken noodle soup-absolutely delicious!!! Macaroni salad-so good! Hot dog-on the challah bread-so delicious! The way a hot dog should be. Carrot Cake-so tastyFunfetti Cake-tasty as well Chocolate chip cookies-the best! The inside is not too large and some of the tables are a little close but I think that is part of the charm. A lot of famous people have visited throughout the years and they have pictures on the walls as well as placards at the tables where they have sat. Our server was attentive and even though it was a full house she checked on us and the kitchen was rocking with getting food out. Love that at the end of the meal everyone gets a decent size chocolate chip cookie!"

Nowhere to eat inside except for a standing counter right in front of the window across from the counter. Got a hot sausage and cheese earlier in the week for $4. Good quality rolls and meats. Since there is only 2 people working, the service can be a little slow. Otherwise, everything is pretty okay. Cash only, but, there is an ATM right when you walk in."

"I really respect Penna's Italian Market. I got treated for lunch here and after studying the menu I chose the homemade eggplant cutlet which was served as a caprese sandwich on a seeded roll.I respect this establishment as they like to keep everything very fresh for high quality, once they run out of bread they are done making sandwiches for the day. The sandwich was ginormous, the bread mouthwatering, I had left overs for days and would absolutely recommend you try out this Italian Market if you are in the area, even more so if you are a fan of hoagies. Terrific find in the borough of Ambler.As always people SYOY!!!"

Mike & Matt's Italian Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (18)

"Great prices on seasonal produce. You'll pay much less for a ripe tomato or asparagus than you would at acme. Selection is pretty limited though, and you can't do your full grocery shopping here. Their fresh pasta (local brands) are priced WAAAAYYY below acme though. You can buy some top tier pasta for a steal here. Sandwiches are good although I haven't had many. Service and friendly attitude is an A+ though. I once left abruptly with my tantruming kid and they chased me down the block to give me the tomato and garlic I forgot. Let that sink in: they chased me down the block in the dead of winter because I forgot $1.69 worth of produce. That's pretty damn friendly. The dipshit teenager at acme wouldn't chase me down even if I forgot the kid at the store."

Hymie's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (406) • $$

"After too many months in SW Florida, I was eager to head north. Today, we (sort of) satisfied my craving for Jewish 'soul food.''Sort of' because the meat was too dry -- an element of fat adds flavor -- it was sliced too thin, and pastrami was almost indistinguishable from corned beef. Remembering the crisp and delicious fries from NYC delis, T and I shared an order. These were a little too soft, and a little too bland. I did however enjoy the pickle bar, and of course a can of Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray.Hymie's is a mainline institution. After hearing accolades, I was happy to finally see for myself. Good, but if you're expecting Katz's, forget it! Btw, a few years ago my daughter brought home blintzes from Hymie's. They were fabulous: cheese-filled, with a fruit compote. Next on the agenda: Hymie's for breakfast."

"One of my favorite parts of moving to a new neighborhood is getting a chance to explore all its corner bodegas and delis. So in my new space, Wawa is only a block away..... but if I'm going to level with you, it definitely isn't my favorite hoagie in the city. (Please don't throw batteries at me!!)I've passed Jay's a bazillion times and finally looked it up on Yelp. I love you guys. You didn't steer me wrong. Ordered an Italian hoagie. Got a beautifully constructed sandwich. I'll post that cross section for y'all. See how they put the lettuce between the mayo and meats so the meat & cheese don't slip and slide right out the roll with your first bite? It's the little touches, man!They also used some quality meats. The prosciutto was extra tasty.Can't wait to order many, many more hoagies from Jay's."

Luhv Vegan Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (163)

"I'm a huge fan of Luhv's lunch meat. Unfortunately, they don't sell their lunch meat by the pound anymore, at this location. So, after walking the RTM a couple of times I settled on an Italian hoagie from LUHV. A very friendly man with beautiful locs waited on me. There wasn't a wait so my sandwich was ready pretty quickly. I believe it was $13 which I consider pricey, but most vegan food is expensive. In the past, I've always purchased my lunch meat and made my hoagies at home, so I was curious to see how this hoagie compared. The sandwich was a good size. The sandwich came with a couple of different types of vegan Italian lunch meat, vegan provolone, lettuce, tomatoes and lots of onions. It also came with a smidgen of vegan mayo. (Is there a vegan mayo shortage?) The roll was very dense, and I'm sad to say that the sandwich was very dry. The bread completely took over the sandwich, and the bread to lunch meat ratio was completely off. I was really hungry, so I did finish the sandwich, but it didn't knock my socks off. Needless to say, I was disappointed. So, in the future if I can get my hands on LUHV's lunch meat I'll make my own sandwich, at home. Otherwise, I'll skip this spot next time I'm at the RTM."

Good Day Deli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52) • $

"I thought I would be Metropolitan and got a bulgogi cheesesteak. It came on a Toasted Roll. It was a good roll but I think toasting it makes it a little bit better. The meat was good but needed more of it. The heavy soy-based sauce gave his Cheesesteak a lot of flavor. Biting into carrot while eating a cheesesteak always gives an interesting taste sensation. This was good but you could tell this was a cheesesteak place making a bulgogi cheesesteak instead of a bulgogi place make a bulgogi cheesesteak."
