George's Sandwich Shop

Also apparently the business owner is a baby that can't own up to putting out trash food.Literally multiple people in our group didn't finish their sandwich because it was so terrible.But it's not his fault.Also, yeah most meat is frozen at some point but throwing slabs of steakums on a grill to steam in their melting ice crystals is a lot different than ribeye that is chilled to slice and then cooked from a thawed state.

Solid cheesesteak, no frills but definitely does the job. Next time I'll have to try the PBR, it seems like that's their calling card! Will be back

Look, I'm not gonna tell you that I'm any kind of authority on Philly sandwiches, but I've eaten around up there. It's not my hometown, but I like to visit when I can. And I LOVE a good cheesesteak. That being said, our party of four (including one kid) came here on a very rainy Sunday to see an exhibit up at the Franklin Institute. We decided to stop somewhere for a place that has a roast pork sandwich and a cheesesteak, along with at least one kid-friendly item (to appease all party members). This is how we wound up at George's.They have a walk-up window, and only about 7 counter stools inside. But, we were there pretty early (around 11am) and took up four of the seats. It was kind of an experience to see the rain falling outside, see the birds jumping around on the sidewalk eating crumbs of bread, and watching people come up to the window to order. Oh, to capture the urban landscape in words...Anyway.I got the PBR, roast pork sub with broccoli rabe and the sharp cheese (I think it's Romano). Let me tell you... they server it with a fork, and now I know why. Juicy beyond belief! It was insanely good, with just the right amount of droopy broccoli and tons of savory pork, with just a bit of spice and also some noticeable chunks of garlic. The cheese was the perfect complement to the rest of the ingredients. It was so intensely good!Another in our party ordered the cheesesteak, and while this was also a very favorable option, my favorite would still be that roast pork. The kid had a hot dog, and she was also very happy with it. So, for less than $50 for the entire group, we all got a huge hoagie, a bag of chips for the kiddo, and a beverage each. Honestly very reasonable, price-wise these days.Parking is as lucky as you can find on the street, so shop around. We lucked out and got a spot as someone was leaving literally at the front door. The neighborhood itself is worth walking around, too, with some very neat niche shops nearby. We probably would have spent a ton more time had we not bought time tickets to an exhibit. Still, if you're in the area, give them a try. You likely won't be disappointed. We clearly weren't! This was well worth the research to find the joint, and well worth driving through a quaint part of the city to reach it.

Very tasty sandwiches. Not the best cheesesteaks I ever had but they satisfied the urge. The two women running the place were pleasant enough but when someone stepped out of line with them, they let them have it! Extremely entertaining to watch but I would not want it directed at me.

Disappointed with the PBR (Pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone) on a sub roll. Italian classic. However, the broccoli rabe and gravy destroyed the roll making it impossible to eat sandwich style. The sandwich was served very fast so I'm not sure if it was made ahead of time and wrapped up It was the special of the day. I did eat the broccoli rabe and pork separately with a fork. The pork was cooked to perfection but the gravy was lackluster, having. relatively no flavor or seasoning which made it disappointing and whatever provolone was on the sandwich was melted into the soggy bread I didn't eat. Very disappointed as this sandwich combo is one of my favorites

All I had was the meatballs but let me just say,by far one of the best meatballs I've had in years! A good not too soft and not too hard texture,with a perfect tasting sauce! I'm definitely buying some to save in my fridge,to save me the weekly drive!

I think I can say that George's serves my favorite roast pork sandwich in the city. I won't say "best" or "most authentic" (whatever that means), but it is the one I have enjoyed the most. The meat has a great texture and flavor. It's juicy but not fatty. I got mine with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. My husband enjoyed his Italian sausage with peppers and onions very much. But he was jealous of my sandwich. Compared to other places with similar sandwiches, the prices were reasonable. They have window service, which I appreciate these days. I can shop outdoors at the market's streetside vendors and grab a great lunch too from a classic Philly sandwich shop. We took our sandwiches to a nearby park and enjoyed them. As their original business cards read, this place has "sandwiches you will like."

We came here because Pats and Genos lines were both crazy ridiculous and I thought a sandwich shop in the Italian market would not only have cheesesteak but an Italian hoagie as well. I was wrong...I got a cheesesteak with the works along with The George. I guess you aren't supposed to say if you want toppings because it definitely put them in a bad mood when I ordered. It actually got ruder during the ordering process. Anywho we got our sandwiches. The cheesesteak was pretty good but The George was so messy. It came out of the bag dripping with sauces. Overall, next time I'll find somewhere else to go get a sandwich but glad I got to try it at least.

We visited Little Italy and stopped at the Visitor Center and asked the lady there where the locals go to eat their Philly Cheesesteaks and she mentioned this place as the place to go to. This is not a sit down restaurant, they have a window where you order your food and then you either take it to go or you find a sidewalk table or bench to have you meal. We chose to go around the corner and just sat at a church stairs and have our lunch. My girlfriend ordered the tripe sandwich and I went with the Philly Cheesesteak. Both sandwiches were unbelievably good. My cheesesteak was so flavorful and cheesy with onions, and my girlfriend essentially said the tripe was similar to the way she makes tripe at home. Bottom line, the next time I go back I will hit this spot again!!

These sandwiches have a LOT of meat of them if that's what you're into. They definitely don't skimp, but I wasn't thrilled with the flavors. I got the George sandwich, and my friends got chicken cheesesteaks. They had asked for the cheesesteak PBR, but they were served plain cheesesteaks - they said there wasn't enough cheese on them. Honestly, the broccolini didn't add anything to the sandwich anyways, it was slightly overcooked and unseasoned. The red gravy also didn't have much flavor. However, everything was STEAMING while we ate it, and I did get a good cheese pull with my provolone. The bread was also delicious and fresh. The sandwiches were just extremely meaty with little flavor - I went home and added horseradish and pickles and it was much more appetizing.
