No one mentioned you are not allowed in the store, how can you pick what you want if you can't go inside and look, he blocked the door like we were going to rob the place....I don't know if he did that because it's common practice or because we were people of color. We weren't rude or loud or hoodish at all but it sure felt uncomfortable especially with my young daughters there, we ended up leaving and not getting anything and we won't be back.

Deli Fresh is a new Delicatessen in the Penndel Shopping Center occupying a space that was a…read moreSubway. There is plenty of parking out front in the large parking lot. I understand the owner is a local food veteran so this isn't his first foray in sammich construction. I've seen him working away on the few trips I've made so far. The inside kept the same basic footprint of the subway, but the walls are now decorated with large iconic pictures of our beloved sports teams and a few booths were removed to make room for deli takeout equipment. A large deli meat case now sits smack in the middle where the fixins/sandwich prep area of the Subway used to be and a classic pickle barrel is seated to the side of it. Their front window and menu advertise that they roast their own beef, pork and turkey. Their seeded and non seeded rolls are made by Corropolese. So far I've tried three of their offerings: Hot Roast Pork - slow roasted to perfection with gravy (long hots extra). I had it with sharp provolone. They toast the roll and all in all it was a good sandwich that wasn't too sloppy. Hot Turkey - slow roasted (we roast our own) choice of american, provolone, swiss or cooper sharp cheese. Had it on a seeded roll, not bad, but I was expecting thicker cuts of turkey. To me it just came off like deli meat slow roasted with gravy on top. Old Italian Hoagie - sharp provolone, Genoa salami, capicola, pepperoni, roasted peppers, topped w/ peppered ham. Seeded roll. The roll was fresh, the meats were each double layered and the roasted peppers were a nice touch. I would pay extra (and I hope they push it more or make a new variant) to add the extra sharp provolone. The cheese needs a bit more of a bite/presence to make this sandwich shine. Don't get me wrong it's a decent hoagie, but I need more bite. The peppered ham is a welcome addition and provides some punch. Examining their hoagie menu I see no prosciutto. Maybe it'll come in the future (hint hint) :) .... I'd be a huge fan of a mix of meats that included some along with extra sharp provo. The portions are fair as are the prices. Small for most Hoagies are $7.50 large between $8.75-$9.75. The specialty sandwiches will run you a buck or two more than the large hoagies. They also have "farm to table" fresh salads that I'll be trying as well as wraps. I wish these guys luck in Penndel (unfortunately they have it spelled as Pendell) and hope they grow into a staple sandwich maker in the area. They have a good product and the people working there are very kind and friendly so it's easy to root for them to succeed!

The new Deli Fresh Deli in the Penndel Shopping Center is the creation of local hero Johnny G, who…read morehas operated many kitchen eateries in the vicinity. He took over and remade a former Subway, bringing full delicatessen sensibility and local color to a commercial zone that really needed a bright coat of paint. Johnny was on hand to take my order yesterday and introduced himself. I got the short story version of his colorful restaurant history, and I realized that I had eaten in his former place on Brownsville Road a few times and enjoyed it tremendously. My expectations rose accordingly. The large front window sign proclaimed the roast beef, turkey and pork were all roasted on site. Good enough suggestion to order a large Roast Beef Hoagie (w provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, hot pepper hash and sweets) on a handsome sesame seeded long torpedo roll. Wrapped tight in white, and our conversation concluded (after sampling the tortellini salad), I drove home to open it up on the kitchen table. First glance at the stuffed sub and my salivaries exploded. It was visually compelling. First bite confirmed that it all worked together perfectly to tantalize my tastebuds. It was a tremendous chomp and chew. Excellent crustiness, followed by folded layers of pink roast beef, provolone and all the rest. This was a mouth party to beat the band. Texture and flavor combined to have me close my eyes and savor the moment. I managed to eat about a third of it, and rolled up the remainder for later enjoyment and family sharing. Deli Fresh is the real deal for Italian style deli delights. They even have a pickle barrel for those who love cukes soured in brine. Its time is now.

I'm a strange dude, I'll be the first to admit to that. I've never been one to like anything that…read moredraws attention from the masses. I never watched Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones because every last loser on earth was all about it. The Beatles fucking suck and Bruce Springsteen can go shit in his hat. Pumpkin spice is for pumpkin pie and that's it, no matter what these dizzy suburban women say. So the decision to visit Johnny Longhots today was based entirely on poor reviews. The guy who ordered a sandwich to the hospital and found a cheesesteak to be "greasy" deserves to contract MRSA during his stay. The dope who complained his fries were soggy ordered his shit off Door Dash. He's lucky the driver didn't eat all of his fries. The folks who called out the teenagers who are getting their first experience working can all get bent. You weren't perfect when you had your first job. Don't forget people like you willingly locked kids in their homes during covid. It's no wonder some of them struggle with social skills and working under pressure. Have a little grace, then eat a bag of dicks for not being patient to them. Don't get me started on that dipshit from Brooklyn. That person who rated the place a one for the soda? I already know who you vote for. Onto the food - the menu is huge. There are a ton of choices with something for just about everyone. There's even gluten free options for those fucking people. There were four or five sandwiches in the running, but it was the Gritty Cheesesteak that ultimately won out on my first visit. And that's a strange decision for me because the Flyers stink and their fans are even worse. They're the worst organization in hockey. Maybe I just wanted fries on my sandwich. Yea - that's it. So the Gritty is a good amount of beef, fries tossed in Old Bay and topped with white cheddar cheese sauce atop a seeded roll. I added fried onions. The sandwich scores higher than the Flyers. I was a fan of the seeded roll which was super fresh. The cheese sauce was tasty and complemented the fries really well. They were super crispy, well seasoned and plentiful. The beef wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tender and cooked well. All-in-all a good sandwich. The gals up front were attentive and friendly. They took my order quickly. Hats off to the kitchen for getting my food out promptly among the online orders. The place was pretty clean and had a ton of Philly Sports pics on the wall. The music on the radio was some throwback stuff - thank God it wasn't any of that mumble rap shit most kids play these days. Johnny's has a bunch of lunch specials that look worthwhile and a decent value. Locally owned spot worth giving your business to. It's a 4-star review from me that gets bumped to a 5 to spite the mopes who gave it a one.

But I definitely was placed on hold for this to be discussed to be told sorry they are here waiting for you NO manager came to the phone And if you read my review wasn't mad or upset over the long wait . I kept trying to love this place . But I think tonight is the last time I'll order from here . Order should have been ready at 6:25 it wasn't . Which understandable could have been a busy night . So went to get some pickles it was empty ask was told they would be right out . Food wasn't done till 7 . So 35 minutes late which I was still fine with it . Never got the pickles . What killed it was getting home with missing a sandwich and a side . And having to go all the way back wasting more of my time and gas .

First Time in PA & Sal's Made It Unforgettable!…read more I was visiting Pennsylvania for the first time and decided to stop by Sal's Italian Deli off Durham Rd--and let me tell you, it felt like having lunch with family. Sal welcomed me with such warmth and hospitality, it instantly felt like home. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and I can't even put into words how incredible it was. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. What truly blew me away was that Sal took the time to show me how everything is made fresh in-house--even the cheese was shredded right in front of me! The passion he has for his craft is inspiring and it reflects in every bite. If you're ever in Bristol, PA, do yourself a favor and stop by Sal's. Thank you, Sal, for the amazing food and genuine experience--I'll definitely be back!

Gerome's makes quality old-fashioned sausages, but be prepared for the high prices. The Broccoli…read moreRabe and Sharp Provolone was always a favorite of my parents. My pops used to say it was the only sausage he would grill that wouldn't make a crazy mess. They share a parking lot with the other businesses in the shopping strip so you'll have no issues parking. The staff was nice and knowledgeable of their product. The owner walked by a couple of times and couldn't even give me a good morning, but a regular walked in and he greeted him. Guess I need to visit more often? I stopped in to grab some hot fennel sausage, but wound up walking out with a lot more. A lb. each of Smoked Kielbasa, Jalapeño and Cheddar, Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone joined the hot fennel. Expect to pay $12 and change a lb. which is pretty typical for a meat market. That's pretty nuts considering you can buy a lb. of Premio for around $5-$6 from a grocery store. You can also buy bulk sausage for say a lasagna which I did. My wife likes to mix their mild and hot when she makes hers. They also sell fresh and frozen pasta, sauces/gravy, some antipasti, bread and pantry items like Centro branded ingredients and Italian sweets. I grilled my sausages around 350 degrees until they reached temp and they were delightful. The smoked kielbasa is already cooked so I warmed that up for 10-15 mins in an oven and served with cheeses and pretzels/crackers. Everyone who got a taste loved them. Gerome's is a nice spot to treat yourself once in awhile. You're going to spend more money, but honestly the sausages aren't a greasy mess like the bigger brands. The hot fennel could be hotter in my humble opinion.

One good change is they actually have an electric deli slicer! It was breakfast time so I decided to check out their offering. It's nice that they have a touchscreen so you can customize and order food yourself. The people working there were on the quiet side, but nice. I went with a Turkey Sausage, Egg and Cheese on a Bagel with jalapenos. The wait wasn't too bad, they have one person manning the grill and another helping to finish sandwiches off. The long roll option looked intriguing, but I'm more of a bagel guy for my sandwiches. It's nice to be able to watch your sandwich being made, but the kitchen and the store could use some cleaning and better lighting. My sandwich was average. The jalapenos were fresh and had a nice crunch, the amount of toppings were just plentiful and the bagel was fresh, but on the smaller end. For pennies under $4 I would say it was a decent value. There are better breakfast sandwich joints to be had in the area, but this one was ok.

The other sandwiches they were making looked very good. They use a good amount of meat. On the ordering kiosk the picture of the grilled mushrooms looked very good. I got the grilled mushrooms and then paid the extra $1.50 for Sharp provolone thinking it would be a good combo with the mushrooms. The mushrooms and onions spend a good amount of time on the grill together. Unfortunately they needed more time and more mushrooms and onions. They kind of got lost in the cheesesteak. They ran out of sharp provolone so I got half regular provolone but was still allowed to pay the full $1.50. Good cheesesteak experience.
