Li'l Nick's Deli

Wow. This place has top notch hoagies/ sandwiches. Went here on a Tuesday afternoon. Easily found street parking. Ordered in person and waited about 15 minutes. Had the DAG 2.0 (a chicken cutlet type of sandwich) and a classic italian with the works. The Italian was upper tier of hoagies. Flavors were amazing using the freshest ingredients. The bread was decent but wish it was softer. The DAG 2.0 was amazing too. Definitely coming back to try the other sandwiches.

Always fresh and friendly! I love the corned beef on plain roll! The way they apply the lettuce and toppings keeps it from getting soggy! It can take me some time to finish one so I really appreciate it not totally disintegrating!!!!

One of the best hoagies I've ever had. I had a hankering for a hoagie and decided to ride 10 miles in the freezing cold to get one. Worth it!

My 74 year old husband went to pick us up two roast pork hoagies. He came home, we opened the sandwiches and the roast pork was so overcooked and dry we couldn't eat it. He went back, asked for the owner. He handed the owner the sandwiches and explained what happened. The owner became enraged. He threw the sandwiches across the room and started yelling at my husband.We have bought many sandwiches there as well as large hoagie trays and have never had a problem. My husband told him that and he said "I've never seen you here". He gave my husband his $27 back and didn't even ask if instead he could replace the sandwiches with a hoagie or something. He threw my husband out and told him never to come back.What a disgrace. He should be ashamed of himself. My husband came home so upset.

Got the Italian Deluxe and can't complain. Bread was fresh. Cold cuts were sliced thin and tasted like cold cuts. I think this is a good rendition of an Italian hoagie. Can't go wrong with it.

They have the best hoagies, hot roast beef and pork sandwiches. Everything is so fresh. Whenever I visit my sister Joan in South Philly, we get a hoagie there. We've also ordered trays of hoagies for a crowd. The rolls, of course, are perfect! It's the BEST!!!!!! MaryEllen

Great hoagies, great service. It's that simple, but if you need more here are some facts. Lil Nick's has some of the best fried chicken cutlet and Italian hoagies in the city. Other reviews and lists will tell you the same and for good reason. The ingredients are fresh, the chicken cutlets are cooked to order, the rolls are very good, there is a wide variety of traditional and gourmet hoagies available, alterations/custom orders are welcome, and the staff is warm/friendly. In short - five stars, highly recommend.

Great Philly hoagie. We heard about this sandwich from JL Jupiter on YouTube and it did not disappoint. Happy to support local during these challenging times.

One of the best Philly hoagies I've ate! Perfect ratio of meat/l.t.o./oil on a seeded roll. I added longhots that were perfect amount of spice.
