My goal was to have the best Philly cheesesteak during my trip and I think I did have it here at Primo! The fresh seeded bun & sweet peppers were the perfect touch! I even took one to the hotel to eat the next day! The manager was very nice, I believe he was on his way out the door but stopped to take our order and help us. I hope to visit again and enjoy more food from Primo Hoagies. This was the perfect fix after our red bus city tour. read more

PrimoHoagies - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Delicious! Slightly salty sandwiches but tastes delicious. I like that the bread was crunchy. I tried a ham hoagie and a roast beef one and both were good. The portion size is okay. read more

This was a surprise. I enjoyed the turkey diablo on bread with seeds. I got Mayo on it but there was a little dryness to it. I did ask for oil and vinegar on the side which elevated the taste. The service was quick and easy and I did a pick up so there wasn't much of an ambiance to be enjoyed. I do recommend it if you're a cold cut sandwich person. read more

I travel all over the world and I do not end a trip in Philly without a Primo Hoagie. They never disappoint. This time I bought my Diablos from the Center City location (20th Street) and the entire staff was awesome. 5 Stars!!! Your fan from Antwerp Belgium. read more

PrimoHoagies is a chain that offers an extensive menu of various types of hoagies - Italian Classics, Diablos, Deli Classics, Schwartzies, Philly Cheesesteaks, Primo Cutlets, Tuna Hoagies, Meatballs, Primo Specialties, and even Meatless options. I ordered the Crusher, which was jam-packed and stacked with cracked pepper turkey slices, cooper sharp American cheese, and pepper shooters - I didn't know that pepper shooters contained pork, so I just picked those out. I also added extra onions, pickles, salt and pepper, and mayo, as part of their free toppings/sauces/spreads. The sandwiches are pretty hefty, and even their small-sized one can be easily shared between two people (or more!). The bread that they use can be plain or seeded, and if you don't request the specifics, you'll get either one. The sammies were definitely messy, and you will require extra napkins or eat it with gloves! Staff here were very friendly and welcoming! There's also some seating inside, but most seem to get theirs to go. There's a variety of Herr's chips and Pepsi products. +stacked sammies +friendly service +limited seating inside read more

One of my favorite hoagie spots in Philly. Surprisingly haven't actually tried their Philly Cheesesteak...yet! But I've had their Italian and turkey and cheese hoagies and they be on point with it, no complaints at all and service is really good as well. Next trip to Philly, will definitely try their cheesesteak. read more

Got my lunch from here when I went into the office. Good thing was that I placed my order online - super easy to do and it tells you what time the order will be ready and voila when I got there it was ready for my pick up! My friend hadn't placed his order online so we ordered at the store. It's so popular that it was super busy. I got the primo size ham with American cheese, mayo, and sweet pickles yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm read more

Probably the best hoagie place in the Doylestown area. Yes it is a chain, but they really do make as good a hoagie as you are likely to find outside the city. They offer a wide variety of hoagies; just about all of them are excellent. I am particularly partial to the traditional Italian, the roast beef Schwartzie, and the Abruzzi. I believe the roll is especially important to a sandwich; Primo's uses Sarcone's rolls, which, to me, are as good as you can get. My experience with the service at the Doylestown location has been very good. The people have been polite and attentive; I can't ask for me. As far as the ambiance is concerned, I don't have much to say. It's a hoagie shop. One tip: I wouldn't wait until too late in the day to order. Believe they have a certain amount of rolls to start the day. If they run out, they can't replenish their stock, so no more sandwiches that day. read more

We went here for a lazy night dinner since it was just down the street from where we were staying. We got takeout. We got the prosciutto (suprimo), the meatball, and the roast beef schwartzie. The prosciutto was pretty boring and bland, the schwartzie was yummy and flavorful, and the meatball was very good. Overall very medium sandwiches. Nothing crazy special despite all the signs in the window that they were voted best hoagie by many sources. Better to skip unless you are looking for a quick sandwich with no fuss. read more

PrimoHoagies - a half eaten pizza on a piece of tin foil - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ordered the Italian in primo size and got a Pepsi that totaled to $17. Sandwich itself was huge and very very filling. It was a bit hard to eat and all the ingredients on top were falling out and the bread was a bit too hard to chew, but the meat inside was delicious. I tried some of my friend's old fashioned meatball sandwich and chicken Diablo and both of those were pretty good too. read more

PrimoHoagies - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best hoagies and meatball sandwiches in the city. Also the very best coleslaw. I wish they had Coca~Cola, but no worries. I'll get that somewhere else. Paul, the manager, and the entire staff is extremely friendly. I literally live 75 feet away and quickly became a regular. At some point I want to try the veggies hoagie. I highly recommend this place! This is like going to an old fashioned mom and pop shop in South Philadelphia and I like that a lot! read more

The guy working the register was 5 stars. Extremely nice and helpful. The sandwiches were probably a 3.5 not bad but not awesome. The bread was a little strange. Overall I'll give it a 4. read more

Update: Sep 2022 - Primos on Chestnut just reopened under new management and unfortunately it's just not the same. Not nearly as good and not nearly as much value. 1. Taste: I've been consistently eating at Primos since I moved into the area over a year and half ago. It was the spot! Not the nicest looking place, but you know those are the types of places that hit the hardest. Fast forward to summer of 2022, old team went on a "vacation", except this vacation was over 2 months long. I was wondering if it was like Dad going to get cigarettes and milk from the store. Only to be never be seen again. However, they reopened and taste is just not the same. The old picture I had posted was from the previous management. It was stacked! Now it's like maybe 2/3 the meat, and not nearly as flavorful as before. 2. Value: Economy is in the tank. Inflation is coming down but still absurdly high. Everyone is getting smacked. I get it. However, when I moved to Philly in March of 2021, Primo sized hoagie was right under $10 including tax. By Spring of 2022, we had made our way up to around nearly $11 and change including tax. Under the new team, prices start at a WHOPPING $14 NOT INCLUDING TAX. UNBELIEVABLE. At $15 a sandwich now I'm just going to order from a restaurant. read more

PrimoHoagies - Sharp Italian - Absolute stunner - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

As I hope you can see in my photo, the receipt says Turkey. As you can also see in the photo, there are italian meats on my hoagie and no turkey. This is an Italian hoagie not a turkey hoagie. I had to throw it away. Too far to take it back, and I can't eat it! This is partly my fault because I didn't check my order before I left. I always check, and something is usually wrong with my order. I was in a hurry, and it cost me. The store was fairly empty, didn't appear that they were rushing to get orders done. Pretty frustrated. read more

PrimoHoagies - 15$ - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My husband I we normally go to primos all the time. Well this day we went we get home it was nothing on the hoagie meat and some lettuce we usually get everything on it, so we called to let them know they messed up or order they manager says there is nothing he can do. So I got back down there mind you I got all the way home. I go back it's like we did something wrong I asked if we were going to get something free like chips or something since I had to drive back to the store he say no then a worker is being rude when I was talking to the manager not him. I felt very disappointed and is it was disrespectful of the worker to interrupt my conversation with the manager. They had an attitude like I messed the hoagie up.. poor customer service. I really love their hoagies. I was let down of the service.. read more

Excellent customer service and excellent food as i kept coming back to this location (20th and Chestnut st, Phila) Their cheesesteaks are the best due to their beef and bread. A marriage made in heaven! read more

Solid food and great staff. I'll come here anytime I come to Philly. Make sure to get the Philly cheese steak

Primo has some of the best hoagies in the city!! For a chain I'm always shocked at how delicious their sandwiches are. Highly recommend getting a large sub to share when it's game day! read more

I went by over the summer and it looked they were closed for the month due to vacation but apparently they were switching to a franchise and no more Mike on site to make sure quality was top notch. I decided to go back and give it a shot. I am pleased to say the bread was on point with a nice firm crusty bite and taste. Rest of sandwich was top notch. Guy who made my sandwich said I'd be satisfied and for once, someone was right read more

PrimoHoagies - Mild Sharp Italian - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

You make a complaint and you get an email back from Victoria D. telling you to go to their website to post a review . I did that four days ago. Nothing is going to change and nothing is going to get better. Terrible customer service. Avoid Primos! read more

Although they are a chain sandwich shop, they still do a fantastic job with their sandwiches. Not to mention but the fabulous employees working at this location will go above and beyond to provide that personal touch you enjoy when ordering at a local pizzeria or sandwich shop. We ordered a Primo size Nonna's Veggie Hoagie. It starts with a seeded roll which is then filled with breaded eggplant, sharp provolone, roasted red peppers and broccoli rabe. It was hot and fresh, delicious, filled to the brim and was definitely enough for two people ( or one very hungry person). We ended up paying around 10 bucks for the hoagie and were satisfied both by the sandwich and the service offered. read more

I frequented Primo's for their Turkey Diablo sandwich between 2004 and 2009 when I was spending a fair amount of time in Philly for work. I'd always grab a sandwich for the plane ride home and another one for later. So when I was planning a Super Bowl party and the Eagles were in the game, I wanted to grab some hoagies for the party. For $50 I got a large Turkey Diablo and a small Italian to bring on the train back to NYC for the party. I was immediately disappointed to see the sign about "new ownership" but was hopeful that the recipe had not changed. Unfortunately, it was not nearly as good as I remembered. The diablo just didn't have the punch that it used to. The italian, which I got for variety, was forgettable. Not one person at the party complimented the hoagies, yet they all complimented the BBQ that I'd picked up since the Chiefs were in the game too. Pretty disappointed overall. The hoagies weren't bad, they were just okay and definitely pricey for the amount that I got for $50. read more

The prices keep going up, and the quality keeps going down. I've gone to the one on Welsh Road (the worst), Street Road and Glenside. The one who answers the phone at the Welsh Road store is RUDE. No matter when I call, she says, "There'll be a half hour wait." I can understand on game day, but on a Monday at 2 p.m.?????? The roll was stale and the meat had a funny taste. No more hoagies from Primo's. read more

Had Philly Cheesesteak at Plesant Hills, PA location. Disappointed, roll was plain, no sesame seed. Stek was pre cooked and reheated in a convection oven, meat was overdone and dried out. read more

Horrible experience with PrimoHoagies today. We placed an order and only got half of it. My wife's food never came. When I called to make a complaint with the store a young lady (Andrea) closing the store (covering for Drew the Manager who initial said he would take care of the issue but left for the day) hung up on me repeatedly and refused to take my calls (hung up on me every time I called back nearly 50 times -See Below) and thus we got any resolve. This has to be the absolute worse case of customer service I have ever experienced. This took place at the Bethlehem, PA store today 8/4. Be careful ordering from this place. I know I never will again. Below are all the calls I made to the store and her (Andrea) hanging up on me read more

So, back in 2013 I wrote a two-star review for a dry, flavorless chicken parm sandwich I got at "Primo Hoagies." This terrible meal is apparently a gift that keeps on giving, as "Spencer D" years later telling me to "take your hot sandwich and shove it up your ass u tasteless scum." That's not really my preferred way of eating a hot sandwich, but apparently, Spencer D. is an expert in such things... Does Spencer work for/own the company? read more

Was not impressed, too much meat and some say that's good but it's not always, also meat temp was so cold there was very little flavor, and finally, roll was doughy and chewy read more

They have some great sandwiches. This time I got the whacked chicken on a sesame seeded roll, tasted absolutley divine. If your a fan of spicy try their diablo sandwiches...I'll be back again. This is a great lunchtime spot. read more

PrimoHoagies - Whacked chicken....yummmy - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

this place is a chain and the food is gross. I was going to get a Philly cheesesteak but I couldn't see a grill anywhere - turns out they take pre-made sandwiches and stick them in the oven. Nope nope nope. I ended up getting a meatball sub for which I was charged around $13. it was mediocre at best. lukewarm meatballs and aged shredded lettuce. I suggest you look somewhere else for a good hoagie. read more

Just ordered food here. Watching the person at the cashier cough into her gloved hands repeatedly, touch the cash register, drink out of her cup, put her hand all over the top of my sealed bottle of soda, wrap sandwiches, put her hands on the food on the line. Then she ignored a fellow worker who told her three times to change her gloves (after she did everything listed above, probably because he noticed me watching her hands). Fully staffed, not a super busy time, no excuses. Gross, gross, gross. Never coming back. read more

Always a great sandwich no matter what you get! Bread is really fresh! Super nice people!

This place makes Subway and Jimmy Johns taste like dog feces. Don't care if it's a chain, it doesn't feel like it at all. these are the best sandwiches in the nation. Anyone who has spent any time in Philly is already aware, just had to let it be known for people coming from out of town. Be prepared for a juicy meat filled savory sandwich of your choice with fresh ingredients on an excellent roll. It will leave you full and satisfied guarantee. The oil really sets it off. read more

PrimoHoagies - Italian hoagie HUGE - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The menu is huge and I was a bit stunned by what they offered. I've tried Primo Hoagies a few times and I would say they definitely fill you up at a great price. I could easily come here everyday to get a full meal if I really wanted to do that to myself. The Italian and the Roast Beef with Turkey. They were delicious and came quick. One time I even asked for the biggest sandwich that would fill me up and got an honest and funny answer. That meal did not disappoint either. Check out the menu! There is a $10 minimum for debit/credit cards, but sometimes they enforce it and sometimes they don't.  TL;DR: Awesome price, tasty food, will definitely fill you up, quick service, closes at 6 pm. read more

Great sandwich for the money - get the Turkey diablo. They load it up with meat / cheese and the bread is terrific. Some sub places skimp on the meat but this is not one of them. Great value at about $9 for a regular sub - they charge the same price for a footlong at Subway. Can't beat it. read more

Philly is a total foodie paradise and Primo Hoagies totally delivered by serving up the tastiest sub that I demolished in record time. I ordered the Italian combo based on pictures that showed it jam packed with various pork based goodies in a sesame seed roll. The sesame seeds on the bread aren't just for decor, but for flavor enhancement. Something about the seeds really magnified the taste of the salami and aged provolone. I typically don't do bread and rarely do giant waist expanding hoagies, but this was too delicious to pass up. The good girl in me ate the allotted half...the bad girl ate the second half when she got back to the hotel. read more
