Nick's Old Original Roast Beef

This South Philly original opened its first location way back in 1938, cementing the roast beef sandwich as the city’s actual iconic sandwich of choice. The long-standing family run business is still going strong thanks to a simple-yet-effective formula of mouthwatering piled-high roast beef on a kaiser roll slathered with homemade gravy. While you’re there, you might as well also order the gravy fries, which come piled high with your choice of turkey, pork, or beef.
