Woodrow's Sandwich Shop

"South Street sandwich shop Woodrow’s deviates from the classic cheesesteak with a gussied-up version absolutely worth trying: The Woodrow’s Whiz Wit combines shaved rib-eye, house-made truffle Whiz, caramelized onions, and cherry-pepper mayo. Order pickup or delivery online." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"Woodrow’s Sandwich Shop’s collection of sandwiches features a flavor-packed take on the roast pork sandwich, made with pulled pork, broccoli rabe, aged provolone, and long hot aioli peppers piled onto a seeded roll." - George Banks-Weston

"There’s a reason why this sandwich haven has been featured on the Food Network. Their no-fuss approach to making sandwiches with quality meats, cheeses, and toppings has set a notable standard in the city for years. Start with their impeccable Cajun Mahi-Mahi (which includes chipotle mayo, cilantro-lime zest, onion, lettuce, mango puree) and take it from there." - Ernest Owens

"Consistently great barbecue is hard to find in Philly, but none of those issues are relevant at Woodrow’s sandwich shop. Their exceptional coffee barbecue brisket sandwich is savory, beefy, and cheesy — made with tender brisket, caramelized onions, jalapeño shoestrings, cheddar, and the smokiest barbecue sauce on the market." - Ernest Owens

"Most people come to South Street’s Woodrow’s only for the cheesesteak. We used to make that mistake, too. But after trying a couple roast pork sandwiches, it's difficult to stick to chopped steak and cheese on a roll. The roast pork here is different than anywhere else in the city: the pork is pulled, the broccoli rabe is diced, the provolone is aged and shredded, there are bits of long hots tossed throughout the whole mix, and a long hot aioli is spread on the bread. It really works." - candis mclean
