It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

This was my first time at DiBella's and I think I'm in trouble! I ordered the cheese steak which was the best I've ever had and I work right across the street! I will have to try hard to not let my car turn in that direction when leaving work every day. LOL! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the chocolate chip cookie I bought to go with it. I think it was the chocolate chips that gave the entire cookie an "off" taste. However, the sub was so amazing that I couldn't give less than 5 stars for the entire review. Honestly ... I do NOT need the cookie anyway! LOL! The fact I didn't like it is probably a good thing. I can't wait to try some of the other subs ... but I must pace myself! read more

With all the different "Sub/Hoagie" shops around, this brand certainly deserves the due business! The employees here are fantastic and helpful, there is no shortage of toppings. When you look at the picture. You expect what you ordered to look like the picture, other business selling similar sandwiches make you cry out "Where's the beef?" In Wendys fashion.

Unfortunately, my customer service experience wasn't quite what I had hoped for. I walked in happy and smiling, but the initial interaction with the employee taking my order felt a little unfriendly and unwelcoming. I clearly asked for half of a sub but was given a full sub instead. That honestly wasn't a huge issue for me, but combined with the interaction, it did affect my overall experience. I completely understand that working in customer service can be difficult and that everyone has an off day. At the same time, I think a friendly and welcoming attitude can make such a difference, especially for someone who is visiting the area and trying a restaurant for the first time. First impressions really do matter, and unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed after being so excited to come in. I do want to mention that the young lady who checked me out was wonderful. She was very polite, friendly, and provided great customer service. As far as the food goes, the sub, pasta salad, and potato salad were absolutely immaculate! Everything tasted great, and I really enjoyed the food. I just wish the customer service at the beginning of my visit had matched the quality of the food. A little more warmth and attentiveness would have made this a completely different experience.
