Terrible customer service I work and I am unable to leave my work I brought a hoagie large hoagie for $10 they say they weigh the meat I haven’t eaten the sandwich because I got it for my lunch I offered to keep it and called them and told them I wouldn’t mind bringing it in because I paid $10 for a hoagie that has no meat on it Im very disappointed they told me even if I bring the hoagie back they can’t give me my money I could’ve went to a corner store got a better hoagie for less money I’m furious and can’t leave work it’s literally they put the tiny bit of meat on the top

Thank you for always offering delicious healthy food options in “food sea” full of pizzas, burgers,
pastries, and hot dogs. Always met with kindness in the store 🫶🏾

Food is always good. Wraps and hoagie are my go to and the meat has always been good.

The customers are absolutely the worst. Some old head was blasting Led Zeppelin on his phone cause there was people talking around him. Really weird, but this is probably the least aggressive thing thatll happen in your trip to Philly.

Great spot for lunch.
I love their BLT on sourdough toast. There is a wide selection on an easy to use menu board system.

We visited Old Nelson Food Market on JFK recently to get two paninis. In the store, they have an easy-to-use touch screen ordering system allowing you to customize your order prior to finalizing. We got the P-18 Chipotle Chicken and P6-Grilled Chicken with Mozzarella swapped in for the Parmesan. Both were well made and hit the spot. In addition to the deli, the location also features a decent size market and has a few tables if you choose to dine in.

I live part time in the Sterling on top of old Nelson. I look forward to having a sandwich when I am back in Philadelphia. I was disappointed tonight and I just think they should know. I wanted to contact them directly but I saw no way to do that. I bit into something hard and gross. Yuck! Come on guys!?!?!?! Really? Would you like these in your sandwich?

I come here two or three times a week at least for lunch. It's a nice little store and friendly people, but knocking off two stars for the bad packaging. I'm sitting down to eat sandwich & this big, ugly single-use plastic is what I got. This very easily could be put into a paper bag which would be easier to carry than this awkward container
