I’ve been eating here daily while remodeling a nearby bathroom — and let me tell you, Liberty Square isn’t just a restaurant… it’s become my second kitchen. The food? Always on point. Hot, fresh, flavorful — like home cooking but better. The service? Top-tier. Friendly faces, good energy, and they remember your name. Atmosphere? Chill and welcoming, the kind of place where you can breathe after a long day of work. These folks run it right, and I’ll keep coming back even after the job’s done. Much respect to the team — you’ve made my days smoother and my meals way better.

Friendly little family-owned spot underneath the train tracks. Their cheese steak was one the best I've ever had. Roll was perfect, meat was tasty and not too greasy. A must-try.

A classic staple in this neighborhood. Being here feels like stepping back in time in the best way possible. The breakfast sandwiches hit the spot on a weekend morning and the prices are super reasonable. Totally recommend the spicy sausage on a long roll as well!

My 450th different cheesesteak!! I am very happy that I had my 450th different cheesesteak in a historic building. The two young men working could not have been nicer. I like that my Cheesesteak was $8, there was inside seating and a bathroom to wash my hands. I liked the roll even though I think it was too big for the amount of meat. It was a good amount of meat but the roll felt empty. I would have also liked more cheese and a little more flavor. Overall it was a good cheesesteak experience.

This is the best bacon cheeseburger I've ever eaten in my entire life. -double bacon cheeseburger -mayo -grilled onions -grilled mushrooms For an added kick try their BBQ sauce. It has a v. sweet brown sugar base that I find refreshing to all the vinegar alternatives out there. This place is definitely great.

Definitely a true Philly cheesesteak...no cheese whiz here!! Stopped on a food tour and had the cheesesteak...delicious!!!

Low rating because the employees didn't tie the bag with our hot peppers, but they still put it in with our cheesesteaks, and the vinegar got all over the back of our car and all over the cheesesteaks. Will now have to pay to get our upholstery cleaned. How do you not remember to tie a bag with liquid in it?

Great breakfast sandwich- bacon, egg and cheese. Reasonable price, $7 for a stuffed hoagie roll.

Fresh hoagies, nice people! Call ahead so your order is ready, because the place inside is super small. No place to eat inside, so take your tasty hoagies or sandwiches to go!

Heaven! Best cheesesteak in Philly! Tried all the hype but Sorrentinos is the real deal. And real Philly soft pretzels! I'm planning on proposing to the lovely lady who made my sandwich! So good.

Best place for a cheesesteak in Manayunk! Sorrentino's is an old fashion corner deli (complete with swinging screen door) that serves up breakfast/lunch, as well as stocks basic household and food pantry necessities. Their steaks sandwiches are more than affordable and served on extra long hoagie rolls. You'd be hard pressed to find a better value anywhere else in Philadelphia. Sorrentino's also offers a solid variety of toppings to add to your cheesesteak. Go with bacon, banana peppers, and fried onions - trust me.

I pass by Sorrentino's every day on my way to/from the train station, and finally last night decided I had to go after the smell of bacon literally had me drooling as I walked by. Cash only, but they have an ATM if you're in a pinch. Prices are up a bit from the older photos on this profile, a cheesesteak will run you $8 ($8.50 for a cheesesteak hoagie), but you get a big sandwich large enough for 2 of my lunches. I got a cheesesteak hoagie with provolone (no whiz available here!), and they combine the cheese with the steak so you're getting the full bite every time. This is personally how I prefer cheesesteaks to be made, so I'd say Sorrentino's is my favorite that I've had since living in the Philly area. If you're a wiz-wit purist, this isn't your spot, but you could grab a grilled cheese or hoagie instead! I can't wait to go back for a BEC this weekend. Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable for other supplies/canned goods.

This is a little deli we stopped at on the Philly Chew Tour. The place has been around a very long time & the building has a lot of history behind it. Has been a family run business for some time. I like that there are a few steps up from the deli where you enter where they have a few tables & you can sit & eat. There is a window in the dining area where you can look down into the kitchen & the deli. Through the window you can see meat hooks hanging above the stove. The place was a slaughter house in a previous time. We tried, what else in Philly, but cheese steak. It was on a nice soft hogie roll & tasted delicious! Although you didn't actually see the cheese, you sure tasted it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely return if I were in the area.

Everyone knows that we, Philadelphians, take our cheesesteak seriously. But don't fret: I'll tell one secret hole in Manayunk walls. Sorrentino's! Sorrentino's is your old fashioned cheesesteak. It is the real-deal. We know how to hunt for a classic Philly Cheesesteak. Four Solid Yelps.

Awesome little neighborhood spot. Grabbed. Bacon egg and cheese on a long roll and some tenders. Solid breakfast sandwich and friendly staff. Calling ahead is def. recommended but they do have a small seating area with tables to wait. Cheers!

The best cheese steaks in the Roxborough/ Manayunk section of Philadelphia, if not the best in Philly. I've been going there for years and they're always top notch. The other menu items are good too!

Sorrentino's is a favorite of Manayunk locals and it's easy to see why. I think it has the best cheesesteaks in the Yunk (much better than Duff's right down the street); their cold sandwiches are what you'd expect and both come at some of the best food prices in Manayunk (I usually pay $5.25 for a pizza steak hoagie with mushrooms). As far as the grocery store aspect of Sorrentino's goes, you'll find milk, cream, fresh hoagie rolls and hamburger buns daily (in the basket by the cash register for 50 or 75 cents depending on who is working the register). Like Laura D. said, you won't want to get everything here - most of the stuff looks like it's 2+ years old, but it'll help you when your in a pinch. Sorrentino's is definitely a neighborhood establishment - I was talking with my next-door neighbor the other day and she was heading down to Sorrentino's to pay off this week's "cigarette" debt. I guess if they know you well enough, you can build-up a tab.

Do you want to see what a perfect Philly corner deli looks like? Then head to Sorrentino's in Manayunk. The staff is friendly, they stock a few staples that you or your pet might run out of it, and the food at this popular place is great. In fact, I'll go so far as to pronounce their Breakfast Sandwiches to be the tastiest I have ever had in Philly. To be honest they are the best Breakfast Sandwiches I've ever eaten anywhere in the world. And they serve them all day ... which is especially cool after a fun and long night out partying and waking up hungry the next afternoon. You can eat them either In their backroom café area or take them home. All their concoctions are good here...the cheesesteaks are awesome. And I love that they have Bai5 antioxidant infusions to drink. Sumatra dragonfruit Bai5 always pumps out much needed energy. Sorrentino's is timeless ... literally!

lol this place is so ghetto, I can't stand it! But I don't mean ghetto in a bad way, more in a it makes me love this place way. I actually didn't go here for the longest time because I was totally turned off by how it looked on the outside. The inside isn't any better. But the sammiches are totally worth it!! I haven't had a sammich here that I haven't loved. And their fries are those double crispy kind, not the normal soggy deli kind you get. Great family establishment! I wouldn't touch the grocery goods they have with a 10-foot pole, so I'd steer clear of those. They do have a dispenser for doggy treats too which is nice. The only reason I don't go here more often is because I rarely have cash on me and this place is cash only.

First of all-be warned, this is cash only. They have an ATM, fee is $1.75, which is low compared to some other ATM fees. I ordered the cheese steak (it's Philly! come on!) and fries to share with my son. Dude. The cheese steak was AWESOME. Fries were among the best I've ever had. Crispy, flavorful, just good fries. I would totally come back here again and again on a visit to Philly. Way worth it. Only negative was a scary homeless dude who took up residence and was ranting about chairs, then left. Weird. But I think that's any city, probably. Great food.

The only reason I didn't give this little grocery store a 5 is because they don't have a huge selection of food. However, the employees of this store need to be recognized for their great customer service. Every time I have gone in there, I have been welcomed by a smile or a hello. They are all extremely friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy serving customers. So many times we walk into businesses where we are met by frowns or just plain rudeness, that when we experience a place like Sorrentino's Deli, we need to give them a shoutout. Keep up the good work!

This is a great place on the corner. I am solely basing my review on the cheesesteak I got. It was PHENOMENAL! The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It had onions and sweet peppers, but you can also choose hot peppers instead. Whatever cheese they used melted perfectly with the steak. Not to mention they give huge portions! I would definitely go back again. Find a good spot outside and enjoy.

best breakfast sandwich in philly, and i try them all. i don't even leave yelp reviews unless i feel like people need to try something and u need to come here

I came, I saw, I conquered. This place has the best cheesesteak I've had since I've been living here. Yes, that includes the tourist traps Geno's and Pat's. The meat was seasoned perfectly; just enough to have it taste well, but not overwhelming. The cheese was layered between the meat so that each bite had a bit of the grease and cheese that left me watering for each bite. Lastly, the bread was softer than the hands of newborn babies. I had the pleasure of having my food prepared by Katie. She definitely hooked me up, but I'm sure she adds love into the ingredients for all the food she makes.

Sandwiches are decent enough. Prices have gone up a lot over time but the quality has been consistent. Biggest issue is that the website and door both say they close at 11 but the three times I've been here just after 10 the doors were locked and lights half off. Really annoying when it's late and I'm starving after work. Oh well.

Top 3 best cheese/chicken cheesesteak in philly. Better than delassandros. The cook and register girl and very friendly. I'll come back even when I move from Manayunk. $7 for a fat steak & $2 for fries (also delicious) you can't beat that.

One of the best cheesesteaks (I like mine with provolone) you can get in all of Philly and the burbs combined. I've never ordered anything else here so I can't comment, but I'm sure, judging by the quality of their steaks that everything (breakfast sandwiches, etc.) are great. If I am in Manayunk and I'm jonesing for a great, (non-greasy), yummy steak, this is definitely the place. Small, non-descript, little no-frills deli, that you wouldn't look twice at, but what a sandwich they make. I've been going for years whenever I happen to be in the neighborhood, craving a steak sandwich and I want the best.

I lived near Sorrentino's for 3 years and this grocery/deli was a small gift from heaven. It is family owned and operated.... and it's a great family! Always greeting customers with a smile and hand making all orders on the spot. Even though I lived less than a block away, I was guilty of calling ahead sometimes to avoiding waiting the mediocre 5 mins for my sandwich. The store is small though, so if you are waiting, it's best to do it outside. My go-to choices were either a turkey and cooper sharp cheese hoagie (dry, with tomatoes, onion, lettuce, banana pepper rings and seasoning) or a cheesesteak with American cheese, onions, and red sauce. It was always the right amount of freshly sliced American, melted ever so gently with the meat and onions, and then topped with a small helping of tangy red sauce. I would sometimes get the sauce on the side, but either way you like, they are always made-to-order and I especially like the final product. Some cheesesteak joints in this city think bigger is better, but I think quality ingredients and care creating the cheesesteak make the difference. After all, I don't want to be wearing it when I'm done, and with Sorrentino's sandwiches I could always count on a delicious, mess-free meal! The service if GREAT, the price is RIGHT ON, and the cheesesteaks are the BEST.

This place is classified as a grocery, which I suppose it is, but their deli sandwiches are the only real reason to go. It looks dumpy hole-in-the-wall, which again, it is, but they make a mean turkey or roast beef hoagie. Fresh deli meat piled on a fresh deli sub roll... 12" subs for only around $6-7 (I forget their actual pricing)... way fresher than that place Jared is always raving about... what's not to love? I've never had their cheese or chicken steaks, but I imagine they're good too. I wouldn't touch the couple boxes of Wheaties or Uncle Ben's rice that look like they've been sitting on the shelf since before Bush was prez (not W), but they do have a nice selection of chips and drinks to compliment your sandwich. And they have one of those machines where you manuever the claw to pick up lame prizes to frustrate you while you wait. If you're looking for a quick bite or really good hoagie in manayunk, stop in!

No frills, no fuss. Located one block off Main Street under the tracks, visiting Sorrentino's is like stepping back in time. Expect inexpensive, delicious made-to-order breakfast sandwiches ($2.50 egg + cheese on long roll). This deli has a grill for m-t-o hot sandwiches, tons of chips, a couple cases of drinks & a small dining room in the back. For the adventurous eater they offer veggie cheese steaks with fake meat & vegetarian "crabby patties" but for now I'll stick with their grilled cheese. Cash only.

The cheesesteak was pretty good, not as good as some of the reviews make it seem... but for the price it's decent. Service was quick and I found the staff to be perfectly considerate. Wasn't blown away, but seems like a decent option for sandwiches in Manayunk.

Above-average cheesesteaks. They put a little bit of homemade tomato sauce on the sandwich, which changes everything. Forget what you know about cheesesteaks. Go to Sorrentino's.

Service was fast and friendly. It was a quick turn around time between ordering and walking out the door with a couple of cheesesteaks. The steak was everything is should be. The roll was great, onions sautéed until they were nicely translucent, and the cheese was mixed nicely throughout the sandwich. I'll definitely go again.

Hands down nothing but good things to say about sorrentino's. My absolute favorite place for breakfast sandwiches. I Eat here almost twice a week !

Mike W.

Yelp
Sorrentino's delivers a good cheesesteak. It's not great, but it is good. The sandwich itself isn't girthy and could use more steak, but the price is very reasonable so it resolves the girth issue there. There could have been more onions on the sandwich, too. Also, this was the first time I ever got a provolone cheesesteak, and it was better than expected, so another point for Sorrentino's. I'd like to add that every time I've been there, the two women behind the counter were very nice and welcoming. I'd recommend anyone to try Sorrentino's out for the cheesesteak and its other food items.

My wife thinks these are the best turkey hoagies she has ever had, and though I like to argue with her, I can't on this point. Turkey + American, LTO, pickles, hot peppers, and light mayo and oil. regular mayo and oil when I've been good. Pepper + Oregano and voila. Throw in some $.99 UTZ chips and you're dancin'. They just posted new menus as well that look nice and are easy to read. It doesn't hurt they are a friendly family-owned business and most everyone there greets you with a smile and occasionally some banter. Their breakfast sandwiches are yummy as well. Only groceries I get there tend to be milk and eggs, not sure if the other items sell but I guess they do or they wouldn't have them. I'd buy a t-shirt, hat, or other Sorrentino's merchandise if they sold them...

Small hole in the wall, but the deli meat was cheap and very tasty. The ham capollini or whatever it was called was great. The owner let me try a piece without my asking. I would definitely want to come back for my deli needs. Not a large selection, but that's good. Less things to decide, easier shopping, and they have good stuff.

I love sorrentinos! Most of the staff is always happy to see you, and if they don't act happy, they are at least down to earth. The food is delicious and even with all the other Markets popping up around Manayunk, they are still my go-to! Their ingrediants are always fresh - my fav is a turkey club on wheat!! YUM. PS. Cash only!
