McNally's Tavern CHESTNUT HILL

"For those in the know, McNally’s Tavern is the original place to go to find a Schmitter — the other local favorite steak sandwich — made with cheese, fried onions, tomatoes, salami, and a special Schmitter sauce. Contrary to what you’ve heard, it wasn’t named for former Phils player Mike Schmidt — but grab a beer and a sandwich at McNally’s and you’ll find you don’t even care." - Ernest Owens

"Open since 1921, McNally’s Tavern in Chestnut Hill has long served classic sandwiches, cocktails, and beers in massive, Viking-like mugs to people in the neighborhood. Speaking of classics, nothing’s more iconic than our favorite, “The Schmitter” sandwich. The massive cheesesteak-like combination, with beef, fried onions, and cheese, is topped with grilled salami and a housemade Thousand Island-style special sauce. " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"A Philly sandwich so iconic, it had to be trademarked. The Schmitter® at McNally’s Tavern is a meaty work of culinary art: juicy ribeye, thinly-sliced onions, fried salami, thick red tomatoes, American cheese and signature sauce on a kaiser roll from Conshohocken Italian Bakery." - Ernest Owens

"Off the trail in Chestnut Hill, hungry hikers can take part in one of Philly’s great sandwich traditions in the very place where it was invented: the Schmitter. A cheesesteak served on a Kaiser roll with fried onions, tomatoes, salami, and a special dressing, it’s the kind of sandwich that will make you instantly forget about those granola bars you brought with you. It comes with a side of Herr’s ripples chips, too." - Dayna Evans
