I was really excited to try this place after hearing great things from friends and the community. I was not only disappointed, I'm disgusted. I ordered two ham and cheese hoagies and a hot roast beef with sharp provolone and hot peppers. The ham and cheese hoagies had two slices of ham- it was more like an oil and onion hoagie that was falling apart. The roast beef didn't have the hot peppers on it like I ordered so when I called, he just told me he was very sorry and didn't try to make it right. I ate almost half of the ham and cheese hoagie when I bit into something hard which was a piece of wood. I'm assuming the wood came from a cutting board but I still find this completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, this will be my first and last time trying Waskos. read more

Good food and service. A variety of sandwich options with roast pork being a specialty.

This is an absolute must try in the area. I like the Italian w broccoli robe and long hots!!!!

Really wanted this to be good and it could be. BUT, the place is a mess. Not clean, messy, cluttered. Really no pride. I walked in and placed my order. They were out of a few things. Ordered a mix of sandwiches, some small, some large. I had sat down at a table to wait, that's where the rolls and tomatoes were kept. Not sure why, there was ample room behind the counter. point being same rolls despite ordering different sizes. Portion of meats were skimpy, one hoagie didn't have cheese. The redeeming reason for the stars was the meat. Tasty and tender pork and prime rib. That's what I came for. No one does their own roasted meats anymore or makes meatballs. One guy operation. Pleasant. Fingers crossed, I might try it again read more

If you are a clean freak stay away. I have friends who would walk out after walking in. That would not deter me! I wanted the roast pork but the sandwich was for later and the owner absolutely would not deconstruct the sandwich. It would have been a soggy mess if I took it home to eat later. I got Chicken parmigiana. It was served over spaghetti. A real bargain for $9. I'd say get the parmigiana as a sandwich. Skip the pasta. I bet the pork is great and I'll go back to get one. read more

Wasko's - the front of a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

Wasko's did the catering for my mother's 80th birthday today and totally knocked it right out of the park. Jimmy cooked for 75 people, all the food that we had was absolutely delicious and it was a great price point. The roast beef, sausage and peppers, chicken breast stuffed broccoli and rolls that were perfect. It's tru what they're saying, everyone who knows goes to Wasko's. read more

The pork sandwich was good. But. The place is a mess. I won't be back. But, like I said the sandwich was good. I am just sorry I saw where it was made. I can't believe they don't care enough to keep their shop clean. read more

I visited here with a friend about two weeks ago. We both loved our experience and can't wait to come back. First, a caveat: if you evaluate restaurants by decor and ambiance, save yourself the time and don't come here. However, if you love a good sandwich, you've gotta come here. Seriously. Stuffed full of meat and toppings. My friend got the sandwich w broccoli rabe and it was fantastic. Definitely a dive type place. If you're in Phoenixville and need a delicious take-out lunch, stop by! read more

Wasko's - From the outside - Sandwiches Near Me - Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

I've lived in Phoenixville since '85, but I'm originally from S. Philly. So hoagies are a sacred topic (I've adjusted to the fact that Phoenixville has historically called them zeps or stuck them in the oven and called them grinders). The Ultimate Italian Hoagies, hot pork and roast prime rib sandwiches (the only things I've tried on the menu so far) are probably the best for miles around. Sharp provolone. Good rolls from Conshy. Quality meat. Great roast pork. Home-made long-hots. Great for lunch; head in early for dinner; they're not open late. Wasko's is not on restaurant row (downtown Bridge St.) or Hoagie & Pizza Pike (Route 23 / Nutt Rd), but it's worth venturing through town to find the place if you want a good sandwich. And if you live in town, just walk on over like I do. read more

Yum best roast pork / broccoli rabe I've seen outside of philly. Place could use a cleaning but I'm not bothered by it it's an old school shop read more

I had seen the solid reviews and finally got around to trying it. I got the Italian hoagie and wasn't too impressed. I felt it was a little light in meat and cheese for the price. If I lived around the corner, I might grab a bite here from time to time, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Roast pork Italian is better than 99% of places I've had. Only better being John's roast pork. Seriously give em a shot, the price is right too. You can get two "small" sandwiches for 12$. read more

Just got a couple of zeps for Wasko's and it was just like I took a trip back in time. One of the benefits of growing up where I did is that Norristown was the birthplace of zeps and Eve's Zeps were always the standard set for all other zep makers. Wasko's studied their zep making very well because the meats & provolone were perfect. The bread was bakery fresh (probably Conshy Rolls or Collegeville Bakery) and perfect. But the best part (and key in my mind) is the fresh tomatoes and onions because when you season the zep and it mixes with the juices from the tomatoes and onions it turns into an explosion of taste in your mouth. That's what I remember when I was young and that's what they delivered at Wasko's. My new favorite sandwich joint. Yum! read more

Wasko's - a cut in half sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

Small family run deli. Only got a roast pork sandwich, with spinach, sharp provolone and roasted hot peppers and it was terrific. The roast pork was juicy and tender and the roll was good too. The also have a few more sandwiches and "zeps". They only have a few seats, so grab one if available or be ready to take your order to go. read more

My kind of sandwich shop! Quiet, small and tasty. I told the owner to make me something delicious. I guess I got the signature pork, pepper and sharp provolone. You can tell he carefully selects the ingredients for a balance between cost and quality, with heavier weighting towards the quality. The pork was sooooo juicy. Warning, no plastic. Cash only, but worth it! read more

Had the prime rib zep it was delicious, first time there, definitely will be a repeat customer, have to try the pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone. Cash only read more

I have been driving past this place for years and always was going to stop in and try it out. I did so earlier this year and have been back a dozen times. I have picked up sandwiches for coworkers who can't believe how good the sandwiches are. Pork is the best. The prime rib my wife loves. My daughter's favorite is 3 lil pigs - pork, ham, bacon with Swiss. We has 5 sandwiches yesterday and homemade potato salad. Very good. Stop by and you will be returning again and again Keep up the good work Jim read more

No need to go anywhere else for a great sandwhich when you know about "Wasko's" !! Jimmy's sandwhiches are so packed..you will be full all day after eating one!! I love his pork sandwhiches with broccoli rabe topped with sharp provolone cheese..and along with that he gives you a container of pork aujus to dip your sandwhich in !!! OMG !!!!! Its amazing.. His pork sandwhich is just one of many !! Call Jimmy Wasko for your holiday needs and catering needs too, you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

Wasko's is the real deal. Look at all the good reviews here! We ordered pickup today and got a couple roast porks and classic italians...I personally swear by the pork here and haven't even tried anything else on the menu. It's quite tasty! The Italian Hoagies were good, according to my coworkers, but not WOW! I told them to try the Roast Pork next time...I may have to try the Prime Rib sandwich next time, but if you are looking for a delicious roast pork sandwich, check out Wasko's! read more

Wasko's catered my 55th Birthday Party on May 16, 2009. The meatballs were fantastic! Jim really knows how to cook! We also had roast pork sandwiches, giant spinach ravioli, and a salad. My only complaint was the tomato sauce did not live up to the wonderful meatballs. That's okay, we strained the sauce off the leftovers and doused them with our favorite sauce: Bertolli Tomato and Garlic. Wasko's pork sandwiches were how I fell in love with the place to begin with. Jim roasts his own Italian peppers. His sister, Patty, makes the meat balls. OH MY! The serviings were generous. We love this guy. He's about as real as a person can be. Jim also makes delicious specials during the week. He gave me a taste of his Chicken Divan. Ahhhhhh! Beware, he closes at 6 PM so get your order in early! Prices are reasonable. Parking is ample. Not too much room to eat in so plan on going to the nearby Reeves Park or take your bounty home. read more

Atmosphere is NOT going to win this place any prizes. It's a hole-in-the-wall place on the corner of a nondescript street. But the FOOD...oh...the FOOD... Forget what you see on all the travel channels. This is the BEST roast pork/sharp provolone/broccoli rabe sandwich I've yet had (Yes, I've been to D'Nics). And the prime rib is amazing. That man is a genius. Do yourself a favor and get a sandwich or twelve. But take out, cuz there's really no place to eat inside! read more

Mmmmmm..... this just about sums it up!! First time I experienced delicious sandwiches from Wasko's I was not even living in the area, but somebody brought me one of their sandwiches and since then I've gone out of my way to incorporate it into my diet! Their steak sandwich is delicious, add the horse radish sauce and it's out of this world. One of my personal favorites is the Italian, If I could pick any sandwich this is the one I would get, I like to add pickles to mine! Always fresh and ready on time, it's a small shop but packed with great flavor. read more

Got a roast pork and got my 2 year old meatballs in a cup...they were fantastic. Service was good and quick

Wasko's is a great food shop. It's one of those places that are constantly remembered, but unfortunately dying in a more fast-paced world. I had a prime rib sandwich, and spoke to the clerk inside for a few about my time here so far--he could tell I wasn't from Phoenixville, lol; just because I was so astounded by my surroundings and the breath taking calm, and beauty on a Wednesday afternoon. When I got home, I ripped into my sandwich, and it was delicious. Crazy delicious! I wish they were open later, a close friend/Phoenixvillian (lol) said they had wonky hours...I really wanna eat there all night though =] read more

I love getting sandwiches from waskos. They never disappoint!! Highly recommend the pork and broccoli rabe!!

Went here for lunch with some coworkers. The place isn't much to look at on the inside or out but it's definitely a don't judge a book by its cover situation. I got a hot roast pork sandwich with provolone and long hots. I have to say that it was pretty amazing. My coworkers were pleased with their sandwiches too. My only complaint is that the guy behind the counter could be a bit more hospitable. He seemed a tad cold and aloof with us. So it seems they've got sandwiches as good as you'll get at some Philly joints, and a bit of a Philly attitude to boot. He wasn't rude so I can deal with it. The place is not much to look at, the menu is limited, the hours are brief and there's almost no seating in the place (about enough for like 8 people tops) but once people try the sandwiches here they'll come back regardless because hey, this food is stinking good! read more

I've lived near this place for 2.5 years and I didn't manage to get there until today due to my work schedule and their somewhat limited hours. Boy, was I missing out! Friendly service and I got an awesome roast pork and sharp provolone sandwich. Great roll, the pork was tender and juicy and the cheese was perfect. I can't wait to go back! read more

Got a prime rib sandwich with sharp provolone. Honestly the best sandwich I've had in Phoenixville. Will be back soon.

I could write a paragraph but I'll keep it to two words: simply amazing. Prime Rib/Roast Pork/Ultimate Italian Hoagie all supreme.

Well... There's a few things to say about waskos. 1. If you are looking for someone to make you feel at home and compliment you or be really excited about serving you.... Go to Starbucks. You have daddy issues and your not worthy of food this good! 2. If you want to eat the best hot roast pork ever! This is the place to go! I don't know how he does it but holy crap! Everything there is amazing! The dude is kinda a dick but the food makes up for the attitude ! read more

Percy N. said everything. Try Wasko's and you won't be sorry. The roast pork w/ hot peppers is fantastic!!!

Hi. Its been a bit since ive yelped, but hey! Ate here the other day, and i have to agree with Brian, the roast pork was bangin...the meatball sub was so so. but all in all we loved it. The owner is a great guy. we will definitely be back! read more

Wasko's is one of the great take out mom/pop neighborhood establishments that is tucked in a location in town that is not on Main St and you always hope stays around a long long time. The roast pork subs/zeps are excellent. Have them with the homemade hot peppers; the peppers have just enough zing to them without being overwhelming and add excellent flavor to compliment the thinly sliced fresh roast pork. The sub/zep roll is fresh and works perfectly with the roast pork/peppers; not too much pull on the bread to make the sub/zep messy and not too soft to cause the juiciness of the pork/peppers/cheese to leak through the bread. Make sure to add provolone to the mix and you have one great sandwich that you know you are going to make at home any day of the week. Also order some delicious homemade pierogies (I hade the cheese/potato) to bring home with you. They were frozen but are homemade. I placed them in salted boiling water for about 6 minutes (dont overcook them or they will fall apart in the boliing water) and then fried them in melted butter for about 2 minutes per side until they were lightly browned. They were awesome! I travel through Pa/NJ/NY/CT weekly and always seeking all types of on the go excellent bneighborhood mom/pop food (especially subs/zeps/wedges/hoagies). Wasko's is a definite stop back for excellent roast pork/peppers/cheese zeps/subs whenever I am in the Phoenixville area! read more

Holy cannolli. Like sandwiches? Try this place. Good bread, good meat, holy ****, let's eat. My five-year-old, who's usually very picky about, well, everything, said, and I quote, "Let's eat here every day." If you're not sure what to order, and you like spicy, have a hot pork with provolone and long peppers. You'll be freaking out, it's so good. Yeah, my mouth is pretty much watering right now. read more

Does exactly what it does perfectly. We had prime rib sandwiches and roast pork sandwiches. Both perfectly done meat, flavorful, moist and really really good. Sat at the bar/table across the back, a half dozen customers all came in all obviously local and chatted with the proprietor. Friendly group, a local place. I'd love this place right down the street from me. :) read more

I read about this on some local web site,so glad I tried it.Today was my 5th visit.I always go in to try something besides the Roast pork with sharp provolone and hot peppers,but I cannot stop thinking about this sandwich.The taste of each and every bite is AWESOME!!! On one visit I purchased the fresh roasted Prime Rib supreme for hubby but he did not even save me a bite,he loved it. Give your taste buds a real treat....give this sandwich shop a visit.Low prices,a taste of South Philly in Phoenixville. read more

The roast pork is dee-lish. Have it with sharp provolone and greens (broccoli rabe is my choice). A great family sandwich shop. Warning: not open late! Go for lunch or before 6 PM.. read more

Roast pork was decent, but the ambience and the shop felt like it needed a good scrubbing. Additionally the pork wasn't left simmering in the juices. I'd revisit if they cleaned the place up a bit. read more

I had to laugh at the Jason K's comments about the guy behind the counter at Wasko's. I call him the "Surly Sandwichmaker" because he is cranky but he sure can make a great hoagie!! My favorite is still the prime rib!! I recently hosted my husband's polish family and Wasko's made the most AMAZING pierogies and keilbasa.....they ate it all!! We were hoping to have some leftovers...oh well!! Stop by for lunch...or call in an order for dinner..,..and again remember him for your catering needs..... read more

Best. Sandwich. In Phoenixville!! No frills shop. All the frills are in the sandwiches. Pork and prime rib are amazing. Forget all the sub par pizza shops and do yourself a favor and stop in- you will not regret it. read more
