    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
    James P.

    Good solid Cheesesteak and overall experience. Dale's is connected to the Happy Hour Tavern. You can enjoy a beer with your cheesesteak in the deli or over in the tavern. The Cheesesteak is a good size. I got the garlic bread cheesesteak. Even with the garlic the cheesesteak was a little bland. It did have a good amount of meat but it could have used a couple more slices of cheese and a more thorough cheese melt. If I had gotten there a couple hours later this would be a much different review because I would have had several beers with my cheesesteak. Good overall experience at Dale's Deli.

    Dale's Deli, the only place to get a hoagie!

    Great food quick service. D&W lunch meat. Soups and chili are homemade. Old Fashion deli vibes.

    We ordered dinner for the family and tried several dishes so we could sample a bit of everything…read more There were a couple bright spots (the onion rings and ranch were excellent), but overall the meal fell short of expectations. Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - This was the biggest disappointment. The chicken breast was extremely thick and had a grainy texture that made me wonder if it was chicken breast with rib meat. If that's the case, it gives the impression that quality isn't a priority. The breading also fell off with almost every bite, and the sandwich wasn't well proportioned (one oversized tomato slice that wasn't cut evenly). Most importantly, it didn't taste like Nashville hot at all -- more like "Nashville not." Shrimp Po' Boy - Below average. The shrimp had a slightly fishy taste, and the bread didn't resemble proper po' boy bread. The greens were a spring mix, which felt like an odd choice. Traditional shredded lettuce would have worked much better. I've had po' boys in Louisiana, and while I wasn't expecting complete authenticity, I was expecting something closer to the spirit of the dish. This version missed the mark. Smash Burger - Probably the best of the three mains we ordered, but still just average. I've honestly had better smash burgers at chains like Shake Shack. Sides: The fries were great. We ordered the beer cheese sauce, which was fine but not necessary. The onion rings were the standout -- perfectly crispy with a clean bite. The homemade ranch served with them was excellent. Overall, I really wanted to like this place more, but the food didn't deliver enough for me to return.

    Stopped back to try some more menu items. Tonight it was the chicken cordon blue sandwich and…read moredrunken Taylor fries. The beer cheese was not the best and the pork roll a bit too chunky didn't make a perfect bite. As always they rock the chicken sandwiches out of the park. Juicy, tender, full breast, breaded and crisp. Flavorful ham and nice honey mustard. Keep it up Coop - we will keep coming back and trying different items.

    Deli Fresh Delicatessen - Roast Pork with spinach and sharp provolone on a toasted roll

    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.

You can find parking on either side of the building and it can be tight. There is cheap metered parking (bring a quarter or two) along Bellevue if you want an easier go. The inside has a simple booth area to the left with several tables or a more intimate dining area to the right with BYOB/table service. The menu is a bit bigger for a Pizza shop because they make several staple Italian pasta dishes and include some optional crustaceans additions. My sons always enjoy their spaghetti with meatball meal. In a pinch during a hectic day it's an easy takeout option and yields leftovers. The meatballs are large and rather tasty! I found their Italian hoagie to be just ok. It contained more ham than anything and although it was a decent portion was bland and OK. The Buffalo Chicken pizza was expensive and had a bland dough. The hot sauce was blazing and overpowered the bleu cheese and chicken. The seafood tomato soup contained two mussels, two small clams and lots of small chunks of seafood. It was a bit thin and watery, but mixed well on top of spaghetti if you don't eat it all. I find their regular cheese pizza to be OK with a tad too much grease. There are better options pizza wise to be found. Overall the staff is nice and it is a place to sit down and eat (options in Penndel for this are limited) so I'd give them a 3.5, but since Yelp only gives whole stars I'll give them a 4/good based on the fact the inside is kept clean.
