South Philly Hoagies

South Philly Hoagies Restaurant, Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania © Susqueats.com 2009

Having the City of Brotherly Love in our back yard, the residents of the Susquehanna Valley have a pretty firm grip on what a cheese steak should or should not be. With their continued popularity (they've notched over 15 years now), it appears South Philly Hoagies has zeroed in on the formula.

South Philly offers their hoagies in three sizes, Baby Small and Large where the babies will sate most appetites and a large being just plain massive. The rolls are imported daily from Philadelphia so authenticity is unquestionable. In this photo is a Baby Cheese Steak Hoagie with Sauteed Onions, Provolone and a side of Fries.

Though the Cheese Steaks are their best sellers and what they are known for, they feature a whole line of hot and cold Hoagies like this Ham and Cheese Hoagie which features two kinds of ham piled high and provolone cheese. Other Hoagies include most all of the favorites and selections likeTexas Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Sausage & Cheese, Pastrami & Cheese, an Italian Special and more.

Additionally South Philly offers a selection of eight wraps such as the Tuna Wrap pictured here. The Tuna Wrap includes freshly made tuna salad, provolone, chopped lettuce and tomato on a sun dried tomato wrap. Other wraps include selections such as a Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, a Steak Fajita Wrap, a Greek Turkey Wrap and a Tuscan Chicken Wrap among others.

If a Hoagie is a little more than your hungering for, they have a selection of Sandwiches to choose from. Most are served on a Kaiser Roll such as their Cheeseburgers, Fish Sandwich, Grilled Chicken and others. The Pastrami and Swiss is served on Rye, and the rest, such as this Ham and Turkey Club, are served on toasted white bread.

Finally, if a salad is more your speed, South Philly has you covered with over 10 to choose from. And just because you ordered a salad, it doesn't mean that you aren't still going to get a filling meal. Their salads come in Half and Whole sizes and include such selections as Tossed Salad, Caesar Salad, Steak Salad, a Chef Salad like the one pictured, and more.
