I've been going here for a long time. Good food. I recommend it. One of my favorite sandwiches is the ham and cheese on rye with everything. Very good.

food was not tasty at all, don't like the setup, they constantly screwed up take-out orders. Some staff friendly, some were arrogant and some were just downright nasty.

Based on the recommendations listed here, I stopped here with my family. We got a turkey sub, the mixed italian sub (can't remember the name), a meatball sub and some mozzerela sticks. All of them were really good. The bread was tasty, and the meat was piled on thick. We will be stopping here again!!!

I have been going here for more than 30 years. Even though I live 250 miles away, anytime I'm in the area, I make sure to stop in as I did today. Haven't found anything better in my travels. I recommend the "C" or "D" Italian Sub. Note: This is not a dining hot spot - just a great neighborhood... More

We have been patronizing Philly Subs for more than 20 years. It's the most reliable place in town for a great sub. My favorite is tuna and my husband loves their cheese combination.

Great subs done your way. A variety of offerings, reasonably good cheesesteaks (can one really get a good cheesesteak outside of Philly). Haven't ventured out of the sub area, but they do have other things such as fried pierogy.
