    Tuna Zep (w tomato, onion, pepper hash, sweet pepper, provolone)
    Gerald S.

    Eve's Lunch is a traditional Norristown Zep joint that has been turning out "Zeppelins" since around 1938. (You know - dirigibles/blimps!) What is a Zep, you ask? It is the Norristown version of a hoagie, made with a locally baked chewy fat roll stuffed with deli meats or salads, and garnished with thick sliced tomato and onion, and finished with oregano, olive oil and optional hot pepper hash and/or sweet pepper. No lettuce. Today was my first. A delicious tuna Zep loaded to overflow with excellent tuna salad and all the other ingredients listed above. The roll was a standout; a perfect texture with mildly crunchy hide. First bite told the tale. I loved the taste and chew as well as the overall experience. The medium sandwich (half a roll) was a challenge to devour. With drink, about $12. Reasonable in today's world. Maybe not gourmand, but unique enough to qualify as first rate foodie. Eve's is nothing fancy - a utilitarian lunchroom full of chip racks and cold drink cold display cases. The service is in the rear where friendlies take and make your order. Payment after eating is a nice touch. 4 Zeps with a bullet!

    Total consistency here ... and that's not easy when you're serving A+ cheesesteak zeps for decades.

    Always a great place to get a Zep! We have been coming here for years and it's been consistently good every time. We've tried a few of the different zeps including the classic Zep, tuna and cheesesteak. They offer many other zeps and sandwiches here as well. Service is pretty quick and there's seating if you want to enjoy your meal there. They also offer sides like chips and fries to accompany your sandwich. Great sandwich shop for any Zep lover to check out!

    Excellent ! Super fresh roll, tasty cooked Salami and unique, but delicious thick cut tomato and onions. A little oil to top it all off, as soon as I finished I wanted another on.

    I wish Eves was a chain bc a lot of places could learn from this establishment. Eve's is well known in the area for the quality of their menu items, particularly cheesesteaks and sepals. They do not skimp on products or quality. A medium size cheesesteak is more than enough for lunch. I am very particular with my bread and Eve's is superb. Counter girls are very nice and respectful. Def recommend if you are in the area.

    Although I've always heard about Zeps, I never tried one. They are distinctly different from a hoagie in that they have just one type of meat, provolone cheese, tomato, onion, oil, and oregano. I tried this Norristown tradition - the Eve's Zep and it did NOT disappoint. The roll and ingredients - Spot on! Also ordered the homemade peppers on the side. Can wait til my return visit to Eve's Lunch! 5-Star all the way!

They have a solid happy hour menu (one of the few places around that still does half off apps without changing the portions) and weekly specials are great, too. My favorite is their taco Tuesday. $5.00 margs (they make their marg mix in house no pre-made surgery stuff!), $2 tacos, and $12 enchiladas which is a healthy portion and very fresh! My go to for appetizers are their honey way wing bites and the eggplant! As far as entrees go I always rotate between their salads and the short rib melt. Sometimes I wish the melt had just a bit more of the horseradish cheddar (I have asked for extra in the past) but overall it is very flavorful. Their menu does rotate every so often. Many things stay on for a while but if you see something missing, that is why! The owners work extremely hard and are always present. Wait staff is always friendly, too. Give this place a try if you haven't already!

It's a fun place to unwind and run into familiar faces. When the lunch bell sounds, the line forms swiftly, as the masses gather to devour their hoagies and onion rings. There's a nice mix between cold food, like salads and wraps, and hot foods, a majority of which fall into the soup and chili categories. At first glance, what initially comes off as a casual cafe bistro, shows off a surprisingly robust menu upon further inspection. In the spring months, sitting outside in the painstakingly crafted campus, with its obligatory man-made pond, is the preferred way to break up the day and maybe even get a little tan. In the backdrop, the blue sky shimmers off the reflective windows of each looming building, a perfect union of work and play. I am thrilled for the owners, who nearly had to close their doors for good during the COVID-induced shutdown years back. Now, with CEOs leading their return-to-office crusades around the country, the hardworking corporate café worker can once again flourish.

But when we finally had the opportunity to get a reservation at Mary, I felt compelled to write one. It didn't just "not disappoint", it exceeded every expectation we hoped to have. We sat at the bar, which gave a cool bar vibe with our own bottle of wine (which you don't always get at BYOs), and we had a clear view into the open kitchen. Plus, the service was perfectly on point throughout the entire meal. We started with the ceviche, which was a very generous portion for us to share, and absolutely delicious. I was planning to order the burger, but when the waitress told us it was always on the menu, I opted for the blackened swordfish... and, boy, was I glad I did. My husband got the pork chop; I snagged a bite and it was amazing, too. Both entrees were also very generous portions, and my leftovers were just as good the next day (maybe even a little better once the flavors blended together). We finished with a brownie dessert, and when we finally got the check, we were pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was. Overall, it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time, and I can't wait to go back and get that burger!!
