"George’s Sandwich Shop has been on South 9th Street since 1936. They're known for veal tripe sandwiches, but if you ask us, the PBR sandwich—their roast pork—is the one to get here. It comes on long Italian roll that's crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and generously portioned (but never overstuffed). And the provolone and broccoli rabe appropriately cuts through the pork." - candis mclean

"George’s Sandwich Shop in Bella Vista has been on South 9th Street since 1936. The classic window service spot is known for its veal tripe sandwiches, but if you ask us, the PBR sandwich—their roast pork—is the one you should order here. The long Italian roll is crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and generously portioned (but never overstuffed). Plus, the way provolone and broccoli rabe cuts through the saltiness of the pork like a savory rainbow breaking through a meaty cloud, you’ll see why this place deserves a spot on the classic Philly sandwich shop Mount Rushmore." - Candis R.

Just consumed the absolute best roast pork sandwich since I have been alive! I don’t give a 5 star rating, but there’s exceptions to for all rules. Nothing like a perfect Italian roast pork on a Sunday morning that was made absolutely perfect. Heaven is not much far than this! My hat off to George’s Sandwich Shop-just maybe the absolute best of Philly when it comes down to the Italian roast pork sandwich with greens, long Italian long fried hots and sharp provolone!

Good flavor from the meat. It was that true Philly flavor, but I didn’t care for the roll.

This is the place to go for the best roast pork sandwich. My mom gets it with onions and hot pepper seeds, i prefer the cheesesteak. I really think it's the roll that makes both sandwiches amazing. Never fails to be great. You can also get the meat in a container if you are traveling. The roll can get pretty juicy if you are going a distance. 100% recommend.

George’s Sandwich Shop is a Philadelphia classic, a place where sandwich-making is an art and tradition reigns supreme. Since 1936, this Italian Market mainstay has been crafting some of the city’s most beloved sandwiches. The menu features favorites like the succulent roast pork sandwich, the hearty Italian sausage with peppers and onions, and even the adventurous tripe sandwich for the daring diner. It’s a small shop with a big heart, where the staff greets you with a smile and every sandwich is made with care. For a taste of Philly’s sandwich legacy, George’s is a must-visit spot that’s rich in flavor and history.

Went at 1:30 on a Sunday. They didn't have the tripe ready yet so we got The George and PBR. PBR was overall bland. Pork and broccoli rabe needed more seasoning. Broccoli rabe tasted like it was boiled in water with a few pieces of garlic and sat in the water. The only taste came from the provolone. The George had the same problem. The beef and vegi was bland. Only flavor was from the marinara. Also the prices according to the menu should've came out to $19... Was told it was $20 and didn't get a receipt back. Overall not worth it IMO.

I love to visit the 9th Street Italian Market on my visits to Philly and top off my visit with a Philly cheese steak with "gravy". I would have preferred a little more cheese, we always get it with provolone, but it was delicious.

Perfect location, in the heart of the Italian Market, this place can get a little lost with Lorenzo’s directly next door, but George’s certainly holds its own. Friendly staff, and fast service, this tiny place has a lot of heart. Loved the $7 long roll breakfast sandwiches. Good stuff all around. Would recommend.

Incredible cheesesteaks for such a good value! I've had quite a few cheesesteaks after moving to the city, but this one deserves recognition. The customer service was top-notch and the guy working there was so sweet. He gave me all the recommendations. If you love a good cheesesteak where you don't have to tear the bread with your teeth for minutes this place is it! It's super soft and fresh. I hate it when you have to pull on rubbery bread haha get the cheesesteak as it comes and the green pepper on top to clear out your senses. Amazing for a beautiful spring day. You don't need any extra toppings everything was so well seasoned with a little bit of spiciness! The green pepper was the perfect touch! Also can't beat a $10 cheesesteak! Incredible!!
