I recently dropped by and ordered two small hoagies. One woman greeted me as soon as I entered, and the other two smiled as they were working. The place was clean and organized. The woman who took my order said it would be 5-10 minutes, and she was right. When I got to my in-laws' house, they were so happy to have the hoagies with fresh soft rolls. The spicing was yummy and the peppers and pickles were on the side as I asked. My Italian mother-in-law knows her stuff and said it was a treat. So, not sure about the other negative reviews--my experience was perfect. read more

If you are a Philly local then you are accustomed to getting your primos hoagie with a free side of just okay customer service. Hell, you almost look forward to going in and asking for a bada bing and some side eye, makes ya feel at home. What you certainly do not go in for is the complete lack of customer service or to be "educated" by some part time high school punk about how the customer should order their HOAGIE bowl. According to the company website, that the arrogant and argumentative boy (edited to reflect his attitude and not appearance. ), directed me to, Primos states that "Another delicious breadless item PrimoHoagies offers are the Hoagie Bowls. The same hoagies you know and love but without the bread." Most locations within the city will ask either which toppings you want or you tell them what you want left off. Many consider that a "Hoagie" by definition already includes meats and toppings. EXCEPT at the Chestnut hill location when the children are working. You call, ask for a hoagie in a bowl and you show up and get pathetically sliced meat pile with slopped on dressing in a plastic container AND a free side of confidently incorrect, nonsense. Pic of sad AF excuse for food. When asked for the toppings to be added I was instead admonished for not asking for the "hoagie bowl" properly. Well pardon my lack of mind reading capabilities but instead of telling me all the ways I'm wrong about your system, why must I have to argue with you about remaking it accurately?!?! If you are looking for a delicious hoagie and the normal side of Philly sass, go to MT Airy Deli. Consistently correct orders and yummy. read more

About a month ago I ordered my mother a hoagie on Uber Eats. After she finished most of the sandwich and was unwrapping the bottom half she found a rubber food service glove. Uber eats and Primos refused to issue me a refund even after I called and went to the store. I will never eat here again and plan to file a formal complaint with the health department. This location has gone downhill and if you want good food without gloves in it go elsewhere. I've refused to use Uber Eats as well but the restaurant is fully liable because they prepared my food. read more

PrimoHoagies - The glove in the sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The service is awful. Even when you order 24 hours ahead, you still have to wait for your order. While you are waiting, you watch multiple people doing nothing and looking confused. There is no sense of urgency or hustle. read more

I ordered a $160 tray for 15 guests two days prior to the event. When I showed up to pick up the order, they had no record of it. This happened at this same Primos before. They said they could get to work and fill the order in 25-30 minutes. It took them 70 minutes. When I asked for a discount, they wouldn't give me one. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I'm appropriately ashamed. Don't you be. read more

My wife and I ordered two sandwiches and two drinks for dinner at around 5:35 tonight and left just before 6. The person in the Kensington performing arts shirt took our order and was probably the only person working there tonight who was actually a competent and good worker. My wife went back up to order a bottle of water for $2.60 and wanted to pay cash and had $10.60. The new person taking her order pressed the exact change button on his register and was too dumb to know that the change she needed back was $8. We also saw a Septa bus driver order a sandwich and have to wait more than 10 minutes for it and heard him complain that the order wasn't correct and that he needed to leave so that he'd leave in time. As we were leaving, another customer was complaining that he'd waited even longer than the bus driver and asked for a refund. The employee who said he was the manager said that he didn't have the ability to refund the man his money. I don't know who's responsible for this location, but it's seriously a complete and total mess and it's been this way for a while. I can't go there unless I have 30-35 minutes because how slow the service is always. One time in the past the credit card machines weren't working, the manager wanted to write down my credit card number and run it later. The way this store is run, I wouldn't trust anyone with any sensitive information. Seriously, whoever from Primo hoagie corporate is supposed to oversee this location, you need to get on this place cause it's run like a complete and total dumpster fire of a business. read more

Got food poisoning here. Do not order! The meat was spoiled and now i barely eat hoagies. Scared for life

I just ordered thru DoorDash and finished my small turkey and cheese hoagie and it was mindblowing! I had to immediately write this review. The bread was so chewy and soft and the ingredients were SUPER FRESH and I ordered approximately 30 minutes before closing. I would definitely order from here again read more

Walked into the store and their we're 6-7 employees all watching the eagles game cursing. I ordered two Italian hoagies When i got home, they both had nothing but a tiny bit of meat and nothing else! No lettuce , no tomato, no onions, nothing!!! Based on my experience here at this Primo's would avoid it at any cost. Worst experience i ever had at a Primo's. read more

Cue: Boys II Men "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" This is a hard one to write, but if you look at the other recent reviews it's pretty par for the course here. Yesterday was my final straw with this location. When the owner is there, things are usually very good, but when he's not, things tend to go off the rails. Something is always wrong, no matter how clear we are on the phone. One of the items we ordered (cheese deluxe) was just cheese and lettuce. We asked for tomato, onion, oil, vinegar & oregano etc. It was a sad, hastily thrown together sandwich. Asking for oil must translate over the phone to "make this as dry as possible". My hoagie had all the stuff I asked for (not sure how that happened) but it was a mess. You know how a well made real deal hoagie looks incredible? This did not. Also, dry as a bone (we asked for oil and vinegar). Yes, I know I can add my own oil & vin but that's not the point. I think my man gripe here is training. Listening and training. If I want a half hearted attempt at a hoagie I'll go to Wawa and roll the dice (sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe s**t). Actually, a corporate hoagie would have been more enjoyable than what we got yesterday, and lord knows I've had my issues with the beloved Wawa over the years. "How dare he slander Wawa!" You and I both know Wawa has gone down hill as their menu has expanded you just haven't been able to admit it (yet). So now I've got to cart my fat a** over to Roxborough to the Primos on Main St. Don't make me go to Tommy D's. Good lord. That place is frightening and I can't believe I ate what I bought from there as the kitchen looked like a major health code violation. read more

Terrible. I used to be a loyal customer here until the workers gave up and ruined my sandwich's. They completely don't care about who walks through their doors. Just terrible to see a good hoagie joint get ruined. read more

I've been to this place a number of times for their hoagies. Quality of the hoagies has declined and prices have increased. Compared to another Primos franchise at the Jersey shore I frequent, this place is awful. In the last 2 hoagies I ordered the Roast Beef Schwarzie had more cole slaw than meat (seephoto) and the turkey hoagie had a small jar's worth of mayo. All for $22. read more

The sandwich was not good. The tomatoes were in terrible shape, old and falling apart. The bread was also felt a day old. Not like other locations I've been. To top it off, service is terrible. The woman behind the counter had a bad attitude. I wish I could've called off on the order when I saw her making the sandwich. Poor! read more

What is wrong with this location? I order 3 to 4 times a week ; the last 3 months , constantly missing items from order, NEVer following direction for what's delivered , today is the last straw , three employees going without lunch ! I use Grubhub , so I have to wait for a refund , I'm trying Glenside location ; the manager needs to tighten the belts immediately! This spot gives this great company a bad name ! read more

Ok,they need to work out some kinks- but that was one tasty sandwich. Up the game on the sides, and change your gloves when you go from taking phone orders to making a sandwich, but it was really good....... read more

Having lived in South Philly and ordering my Primo Hoagies from the OG, I was so excited when I moved to Mount Airy and found there was a Primo there. About a year ago, we had a terrible experience. I can't even remember the details but we decided we were done with the place. But yesterday, we were really wanting Primo! I decided to go in and order in person. I explained that I would not be eating the hoagies right away and since one was hot, could they travel wrap both of them. Ordered two Primo size hoagies with oil, vinegar, hot and sweet peppers on the side for both. Now I know I should have checked, but I thought that ordering in person would mean they would get it right. When I got to my destination, I had one Primo sized and one small--not what I paid for. In addition, the hot hoagie was not travel wrapped so was completely soggy and I had none of the sides. An Italian hoagie with no peppers. NO. We called and they told us to bring them back!! Are you kidding? We wanted them travel wrapped because we were TRAVELING. They said there was nothing they could do but the owner would call me.....still waiting. read more

Sorry to say that success may not be the answer to any franchise owner's quest. This is a place that closes at 4:00 on Eagle Sunday's and still, we forgive them because the quality is great. But when you order two hoagies and only one is close to correct it tells a story of absentee management. When we order an Italian hoagie with oil and condiments on the side, and a turkey hoagie with no included condiments is what comes home? My decision becomes do I really want a hoagie that much? Going down hill fast! Sorry to say. read more

First time ordering from this location via Door Dash. Ordered the turkey sandwich. The onions or turkey must have been tainted or mishandled because an hour later I was in Abington emergency with a stomach virus. Puked 5 times and nothing but the sandwich was coming out. Horrible experience. read more

Primo's is a well known Philly Hoagie chain. I like Philly hoagies as much as the next guy but this week they were offering a special on their meatball sandwiches which I wanted to try. I actually thought it was going to be a Meatball Hoagie but to be honest it was just a meatball sandwich without all the hoagie accoutrements. No prob. I just took it home and added lettuce and tomato and onions and peppers etc. Anyway I like Primo's and the sandwich was good .... and the staff at the very attractive Chestnut Hill Primo's was as friendly as they always are! read more

Have never been a fan of Primos once I realized how little Philly-style hoagie building knowledge these people exhibit. But my wife was hankering to have a hoagie on New Year's Day and every other place nearby was closed. I ordered their Old World Italian, a whole sandwich which ended up being $30! It was absolutely horrible and consisted of basically prosciutto and cheese with lettuce, tomato and onions. Someone else may have liked it but I can tell you that 3 of us had some and all thought it was horrible. I honestly do not recommend Primos, and this location in particular. Sorry not sorry, do better if you want a decent review! read more

I order 2 Hoagies and 1 Special. For the amount of money customers pay, the least they could do is get it right, the first time, No Excuses! All sandwiches, all three were wrong. The tuna, I asked to be mixed in with the Mayo. WRONG! The peppered turkey i asked for a seeded roll. WRONG! The chicken cutlet i asked for Long Hot. WRONG! I'll be returning the tuna today for a refund or a remake, my 6 year old will not eat, Tuna, put on bread with no condiments. Primo do Better by your customers. There are small businesses going out of business daily. read more

When I want a good hoagie I want Primos Sharp Italian.Three stars bc you have to check the order before you leave. Nothing worse than getting home and realizing what you asked for isn't there. Great that kids are working the deli and are always pleasant but, the attention to detail isn't always on point. read more

My wife and I were thrilled to see this place open not too long ago. Made a point of stopping by here last weekend and it did not disappoint. Everything inside is nicely done. The menu is off to the side so if you don't know what you want step away from the line because it's going to take you about 5 minutes to read the menu. Options seem endless and they accommodate to changes very easily. I added another meat to my Italian and they didn't even charge me for it. Yes, the prices are a little high, but they load that bread full of meat and cheese, with just enough room for a few toppings. That's how I like my hoagies, so that's fine with me. I'd say they use close to 3x the meat of Subway on their sandwiches, so let's assume you're not turning into the next Jared Fogle if this becomes your diet. Again, that's fine with me, I'm not a fan of Jared or Subway anyway. Sandwiches taste great, as do the sides. I recommend the mac salad and of course a pickle. My one criticism would be the service. They're a little rough around the edges, but maybe they'll get better with time. They're not your waiters or anything though so once they hand you a delicious sandwich, who cares what the people behind the counter were like. Hope this place thrives. I've been saying for awhile that Chestnut Hill needed a sandwich shop. This is better. P.S.-They deliver! read more

This new Primo's closer to our house than the ones in Glenside or Dresher. It'll also be the most convenient to everyone in Chestnut Hill. It's clean and they were nice and quick with the order. Not much more you're looking for than that. read more

Normally Primo Hoagies are very good, but I would avoid this one. I called in an order well before lunch and was told it would be 10 minutes. I got there 15 minutes later, paid, and waited as the place filled up with people. The owner and a lot of the help couldn't wear a mask over their noses. After another 10 to 15 minute wait, the owner found my sandwich on a pile where it had been since I walked in the door. It was soggy and had no tomato sauce on it, which isn't good for a chicken Parmesan sandwich. I will avoid this place in the future. read more

The sandwiches here are a far cry from the hoagies' I used to buy from Primo's Deli on Ritner st back in the day. To me the sandwiches are a medigan nightmare. I ordered a hoagie a couple of weeks ago called the "sharp Italian" with everything and oil & lite mayo. It was delivered to me with a seeded roll, Italian meats and provolone cheese. No lettuce, no tomato, no onions and no seasoning. I called back to complain and it must happen often because the lady who answered the phone apologized and offered me a free hoagie whenever I chose to call them back. A few days later, I called back to cash in on my freebie and ordered a hoagie called a "whacked chicken" which was a chicken cutlet with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe, and chopped bruschetta on their seeded roll. Sounds delicious huh? Not! The chicken cutlet wasn't nearly crisp enough and the breading was separating from the chicken and some of the breading was pasty. The broccoli rabe was chopped beyond recognition and the bruschetta was tasteless. On top of everything, I hate over processed veggies on my hoagie. Machine sliced tomatoes, lettuce and onions may cut your preparation time tremendously, but I love hand torn lettuce and knife chopped tomatoes and onions. I guess I expect too much. read more

Previously the closest Primo location to me was the one on Keswick Ave which was a goooood 20 minute drive. This one is super close to me (which is problematic as I want to go there all the time), is clean, and the staff are really nice. The hoagies are damn tasty - even my South Philly (where they arguably make the best hoagies) born-and-raised mother enjoys them. Prices *are* a little high. I haven't ventured outside of the Sharp Italian because I'm boring, but I have heard good things about the other choices. I do wish they had more side options, but i'm not pressed. read more

I would give zero stars if I could, this place is filthy. Staff is very unprofessional. Find a cleaner location, perhaps Conshohocken.

The Hoagie had a great flavor, plenty of meat. The only issue I had is the roll was sliced in half and the sandwich fell apart fast.

More expensive than Subway, but hey, you get what you pay for. I love the new location, and despite the unchanged signage, you can park around the back. read more

I ordered a suprimo hoagie which is prosciutto mozzarella and red peppers. There was no prosciutto. They used thickly sliced salted ham instead. It was gross and I'm offended they would call it an "Italian specialty sandwich" They should not advertise prosciutto if they don't carry it. read more

PrimoHoagies - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

These guys are great when they actually deliver. If you're able to drop by the store in person then this gripe is irrelevant, but for those who rely on delivery (like me), it's frustrating having to hear "Sorry, we're not delivering today" on an increasingly unpredictable basis. Not sure if it's because of being short-staffed or whatever the case may be, but I wish they could be consistent with delivery availability. Another negative is that they require a $20 minimum to deliver at all, which is unusually high compared to other restaurants nearby. It's also a mystery to me why they can't cut the sandwiches for you beforehand considering how tough the particular type of bread they use tends to be; I don't know about you, but when I'm especially hungry, I don't feel like struggling to saw my sandwich in half and make a mess in the process. As for food quality, my family and I have rarely been disappointed. Compared to their local competitors, I trust and prefer Primo over anyplace else offering a similar product. I'm looking forward to the day they finally offer online ordering, although I will say that this is the only place that hasn't sent me running in the opposite direction when it comes time to place an order by phone (that's why websites like GrubHub exist). read more
