On the way home from the shore with my mother, we passed Hegerman and I was like hey remember that hoagie spot we used to get amazing sandwiches , thinking they weren't in business anymore because we haven't been down that way in awhile.. sure enough and luckily they were still there! I went in and placed an order for 3 hoagies and the ladies were so nice and quick with them!! I got the original Italian (only thing I forgot is they put a green olive spread on it .. and not the biggest fan of olives on my sandwiches) but it was still sooooo good!!! Meat was nicely cut thin and the l,t,o were so fresh!! The seeded roll is top notch!! Now since I know they are still around, I will be taking the drive there for sandwiches!! Definitely recommend Jacks!!! read more

its been ten years since I visited Jack"s , I was greeted by the same friendly staff, the Hoagie was over the top. Congratulations to the owner you maintained the best Hoagie ever! read more

Great spot. Went with the Supreme. Very fresh, thinly sliced meats, crumbled sharp provolone, romaine & thin red onions. Roll was insane and I added long hots & pickles. Came with a nice little olive spread that I didn't know about, but damn it worked well. Highly recommend. read more

Jack's Place - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I worked in South Philly for a while and quickly discovered roast pork sandwiches were a really big deal. Now I work in the North East and folks in this part of town really love a chicken cutlet and a seeded roll. I am not a fan of roast pork sandwiches, chicken cutlets or seeded rolls so when my company does a food order I usually stick to pizza or a turkey hoagie (although the Fuzzy Cutlet at Chubby's is interesting and deserves a nod). Today's order was coming from Jack's Place and I was told I could not go wrong with anything that I ordered from here. Still I went with the turkey hoagie and I actually enjoyed it seeded roll and all. The turkey was very fresh, oven roasted and thinly sliced. The lettuce and tomato was also fresh. I asked for hot peppers and thought I might get banana peppers or cherry peppers but they gave me long hots and boy did that pack a punch. I also liked the fact that the sandwich was flat. One of my co-workers ordered an Italian and he was not expecting the olive spread on the bread. He tried scraping it off the roll but said it still made the sandwich taste too olive-y and that no where on the menu does it say there will be an olive spread. It doesn't and it really should and for that and the fact that I could not specify a non seeded roll I lowered my rating. But I would definitely seek out this sandwich again. Oh and the fries were nice and seasoned. read more

I honestly think Jack's may be one of the best kept secrets in northeast Philly. I'm still surprised it's taken me so long to find and try this place. If you're looking for a great sandwich with quality ingredients, Jack's is your spot for sure. I ordered the Chicken Parm sandwich and really really enjoyed it (Not my best work in terms of the photo lol - trust me though, the sandwich was amazing). I love a good seeded roll and this one was absolutely delicious - there's nothing like a quality roll. The only thing that would have made it better was more sauce, but that was my fault for not specifying when ordering. Can't wait to go back! read more

Found this place and placed a pick up order. I was very happy with the service and quality of sandwiches. The prices are very good for what they offer. I told them they need to RAISE their prices! The place is owned and operated by all women. I will definitely go back read more

This was a solid local spot with both hot and cold subs. I really enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana hot sub. The eggplant was thin but had a nice crunchy breading. I was so excited to order the Italian - it's my go to cold sub wherever I go. I was disappointed to find the original Italian had an olive with feta cheese tapenade spread which I was pretty upset to find since I hate olives. It is the one food I cannot stomach. I really wanted to love it!! The sesame bread was so good and I wanted to enjoy the sandwich. I would go back and ask for the Italian without the olive spread. They had some little containers with samples of the apple crumble cake and I was blown away by it. The cake definitely tasted fresh and recently baked since the bread was very fluffy. I would go back and order the cake if I was craving something sweet. read more

Hello....! The food at Jacks is exceptional! We order often for THAT reason! Service is sufficient albeit not the most cordial or friendly, sorry to say. read more

This could have been a lot better. Having the best hoagie in the free world I hoagie up'd my cheesesteak with peppers. I like the price. The meat on my cheesesteak was dry. It needed more cheese. it was oily. I got a hoagie. I liked it. Quality over amount. read more

The service here is very good!Hoagies were fresh & so yummy , definitely returning here for the fresh tasting foods they have!

Called to order two hot sandwiches at 4:45PM and online states they close at 6PM. I was told by the woman who answered they would be closing at 530 and could only prepare one sandwich. Which in and of itself makes no sense. lesson learned- this place wants to work when they feel like it. read more

I came in for a family visit from out of town and found this gem online. A small family business, the kind I love to support. They were busy, but friendly and efficient. The cheese steak I was craving was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

One of, if not the best cutlet in Northeast Philly. A neighborhood staple! If you never been you have to stop in.

Jack's Place is a staple in Tacony. People come from all over the city, even South Philly to grab a Jack's hoagie. Their hoagies are loaded with the finest cuts of meat and very fresh produce. The roll they come on is the real deal. My favorite of course is the Supreme Italian which comes with Soppressata, Dry curedCapi, Prosciutto and Sharp Provolone. They also have three other variations of the Italian but this is my favorite. There is always ample street parking. The shop is immaculately kept and the staff is very professional and courteous. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of sandwiches you receive. They also have cheesesteaks, cutlet sandwiches and salads and seafood platters. I have been coming to Jack's for years and I am sure I will be a customer as long as they are open or I am on this Earth. Get down here and try some of their Sandwiches if you have not already. read more

***********HOAGIE COMA*********** It was finally here.... I was going to get my wish. My nephew agreed to travel across town to Jack's Place and pick up some hoagies for the weekend. I live across town from Jack's and with the snow, freezing weather and distance it wasn't easy to get a fix. But I bought him a sandwich from Jack's for the Superbowl game and he was hooked. So he agreed to make the journey Friday. I had it planned out in my mind how I was going to make the best of this event. You see, I've been getting hoagies from Jack's Place for years and they make the best hoagies I ever ate hands down. They use the freshest and the most authentic ingredients around and they know how to build a hoagie to obtain a perfect flavor profile. That's all I can say, you need to try them for yourself. 10am. I'm waiting for my nephew to get ready because Jack's opens at 11am, but not a creature was stirring. 11am. I'm eager to call in my order but still, no movement. 12 noon, high noon in my mind and I nervously called him and reminded him that Jack's closes at 4pm. He said I'm on my way to pick up the sandwiches, order me a chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone cheese, mayo and long hots. Wow, he only had one sandwich and he already knows the lingo. I called in our order his request and the triple threat for me. I ordered an Original Italian, a Italian Tuna and a Old World Italian for me. A lot you say? Well I had a plan.....first I had the Old World Italian hoagie, which is dried cured capicola, proscutto, and sharp provolone with romaine lettuce, plum tomatoes and red onions on one of most tastiest rolls ever, not to bready, -no need to"canoe" this roll and a crisp, sesame encrusted outter shell. Ahhhh, I can feel the endorphins kickin'in. Saturday morning I had the Italian Tuna with sharp cheese and roasted sweet peppers, no lettuce, tomatoes or onions, but they're not needed, I had them spread some of that delicious homemade olive spread across the roll. It went down so smooth. Later that evening I enjoyed the Original Italian and I was finally there....in a total Hoagie Coma. I put on some mellow tunes and I leaned back in my recliner and my mind went to a plateau only Jack's Place can take me. read more

Cheesesteaks are great! Service is friendly and accommodating. Jacks place is the best in the neighborhood. I highly recommend next time your in the area check out Jacks! read more

This place is as "local neighborhood sandwich spot" as it gets. Upon walking in, there were two adorable older ladies that started chatting us up like we were family that had come to visit Mom-Mom, and they were wondering "jeat?" (That's "did you eat," for the uninitiated.) It was funny, they actually treated us like we were Senators or something, as we were dressed in business casual, and they thought we were "someone important or what?" lol I guess we skewed a little different from the normal Tacony clientele. *shoulder shrug emoji* None of that mattered though, as the ladies couldn't have been nicer, and they also make a hell of a cheesesteak. I'll definitely be back to try some more of their wares, and to update to something a little more specific. read more

I feel the order starts at the register. They polite and helpful. We ordered our delicious sandwich. We also ordered there eggplant. To die for. The ordered ended the man who made the delivery. HE was kind and helpful. This is the way a Delhi is to b run. Go Jacks. read more

These hoagie are so good but if you don't like olives make sure u say that before ordering one

I thought I tried every great cheesesteak joint in Philly, until yesterday. A good friend had always visited Jack's for hoagies, until he saw them hand cutting a large eye roast for steak sandwiches, so he had to try. Then he took me there yesterday, and it was clearly at the top of the list! The bread from Perry's bakery was light & airy inside, with a nice crust outside & the meat was some of the best I've ever had. So tender & juicy, the sandwich was like air going down, and I could've easily eaten another. I always get my cheesesteaks with provolone cheese, not really a Cheese-Wiz guy, and a little mayo. That's how I always try my steak sandwich, and like I said, it was fantastic! The place is a deli, no seating, with very pleasant ladies working there & making all the products. Very clean, with no greasy smell, it's clearly one of the best of Philly. I'll definitely be back many times! read more

Ok so let me start this noting I've been trying italians in this area since I moved here in august and have learned that one, I am picky and two, I don't dig the seeded roll. The seeded roll at jack's was the exception, bread 10/10. I ordered a supreme with regular provolone and long hots but I'm not sure what i actually got. Something on the sandwich reminded me of (and smelled like) olives and not long hots? Really have no idea what was on my sandwich but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I read through other reviews and now see an olive spread is standard on the Italians which is so weird and also not mentioned in the description. Can't wait to try again though, with the actual long hots I ordered. Also, the crab nuggets were an unexpected delicious addition. read more

There was a green bug in the sandwich, probably from the lettuce. That means the lettuce wasn't properly washed. Also ordered wings and the wings had a seasoning on them that made then very salty. The buffalo sauce was on the side. When you order wings they usually come covered in the sauce. read more

You want a great hogue, just go to jack' place! End of story. Check out the menu for all the different types to choose from.

Located on a corner in a residential neighborhood you will find a sandwich unicorn.This unicorn sprouts amazing food from it's magical horn of goodness. For the life of me I have passed this place and never thought much about it. Just a few weeks ago I for some reason decided to give it a go and fuck me I am a shit knocker. WHY did I not try this years ago. Everything we had so far was amazing. I should punch myself in the dick for depriving me of Jack's. My stand out is the chicken cutlet with spinach & cheese with the spectacular red sauce on the side. The rolls are always soft but hold up. The chicken smashes any other cutlet I've had before. Ingredients are top notch. The cheese steak was perfect. Roast beef was tender and juicy. Loved the chicken fingers & fries. Italian hoagie was brilliant. Meats are quality and the staff super nice. I will make up for the time lost and try all the menu has to offer. I need to make amend so I will be back each week. My deepest apology's Jack you sweet sandwich guru. read more

Cheesesteak was awesome..seasoned steak fries and chicken tenders were also on point..

With all the great reviews on Jacks I had high hopes. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I arrived early Tuesday and ordered the original Italian and a small order of fries. I'm a sucker for steak fries! The place is clean and small. Very limited seating, take out only and cash only. The fries were bad! They were overly seasoned and tasted like they were sitting around for a while. They were very dry. Now for the Hoagie... it was just ok. First there were diced olives on it, I hate olives!! I scrapped them off so I could at least eat the sandwich. The meat was fresh as were the tomatoes. The roll, not a fan. It was a bit too tough for my liking, very similar to a French bread. Overall the hoagie had potential but the execution just wasn't there. 3 stars.. read more

Best Italian Hoagie in Philly. The original Italian. They don't stuff it with ridiculous amounts of meat like primos. Their seeded bread is crusty on the outside and soft/ chewy on the inside. Perfect ratio of meat/bread. They don't use iceberg lettuce that is half white half green, they use green leafy lettuce. The provolone is crumbled with chopped olives and it gives the Italian cuts such an amazing compliment. Whether you like it with oil or mayo, it's heaven on a roll. read more

I am writing this review bc I even ordered ahead but my hoagie had absolutely no Mayo on it when we picked it up...the poor girl working was the only one working that day...I can't imagine a place that busy only having one employee workingHalf Hoagie read more

This place is too damn good. Every Friday my job orders from here and I can't say no ... Every sandwich I've had is better than the one before. Original Italian,oven roasted turkey special,hot roast beef... U name it, its good. Jacks place should be featured on the food network or something ... It truly deserves the attention. primo's is good but can't compare to jacks ... That goes the same for a few other local sandwich shops. read more

Jack's Place - oven roasted turkey special. - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

If you are in the mood for a great sandwich then you must visit Jack's Place! This is a family owned and operated business that has been bringing exceptional sandwiches, soups, salads and more for over 20 years. They are conveniently located at the corner of Hegerman & Wellington in the heart of Tacony. When you do go in you have to try the Original Italian. There are others like this hoagie. But this one is by far one of the best. If you are looking for something a little different then please enjoy any of their chicken cutlet sandwiches. All ingredients in the store are fresh and homemade every single day. ALWAYS. Their rolls come from Perry & Son's bakery in Cheltenham. Definitely one of the best tasting rolls in the area bar none. When you order your sandwich check out the salad/olive bar. Everything is so mouth watering that you will probably want to leave with a little (or a lot) of everything. Especially the tortellini salad. All the roast beef, roast pork, and turkey are made in house. And the smells that come from the oven when they are cooking just pull you in. During the colder months you will see homemade soups on the menu. All are homemade. I can not stress enough how fresh all the ingredients are here. Customer service is always top notch. You honestly could not ask for a better group of people in Jack's Place. Always a smile. And everyone really enjoys taking care of the customer. Jack's Place definitely raises the bar on great sandwiches in Northeast Philadelphia. read more

Every sandwich I have gotten here has been nothing short of outstanding! They being: Original Italian Hoagie- best I've had. Great quality meats & sesame chewy roll. Italian Tuna Hoagie- just olive oil tuna, sharp prov & red roasted peppers; that's all it needed to be delicious. Jack's Special Oven Browned Turkey- w/ house made scrumptious turkey (not dry), broccoli rabe, sharp prov & long hots. Amazing flavor/texture. Veggie Sandwich- w/ fried eggplant roasted peppers.spinach, sauce & cheese. Does it get any better than this ? I don't think so. Gotta try a Chicken Cutlet or Grilled Chicken sandwich next. read more

Good stuffs!!!! KISS! Keep it simple stupid. That should be their motto. Plain place to get your steaks and hoagies. That's all ya need.

Great hoagies. Not a huge fan of the olive spread on the Italian hoagie, but that's really just a matter of personal preference and nothing to fault them for. The rest of the hoagie more than makes up for it. Good meat-to-condiment ratio. Places either pack your hoagie with ungodly amounts of meat that would make Ron Jeremy turn green with envy, or they cram so much lettuce into the thing that you start to think you've been tricked into eating a salad. Not Jack's, they seem to have this hoagie thing figured out. One of the other reviews already said this, but I feel the need to reiterate. The rolls have a crunch on the outside, but are still soft and delectable on the inside. This is PERFECT for a hoagie! Oh, and GET THERE EARLY! They do run out of rolls fairly often due to their popularity. read more

Totally unique sandwiches unlike anything in the Northeast always worth the stop guaranteed satisfaction plus the staff is really nice too

I'm a sucker for a roast pork sandwich any and every time I can. Damn, it's just what I needed! The roll is amazing. It's a little crisp on the outside with sesame seeds. Everything else is perfect. Walk up, order, get my sandwich in 10 minutes. It's a perfect lunch. Make the drive. IMP it's worth it. read more
