I tried this for the first time today and I thought that it was just ok. I had an Italian roast pork sandwich that cost around $17. The cheese was good. The seeded Liscio's roll was good. The flavor of the meat was decent enough, but there just wasn't very much of it. I did not care for the aioli at all. It added very little to the sandwich. A cup of jus for dipping would have been better. I think I expected a bit more for the price. On the plus side, service was quick and extremely friendly. read more

Stopped in here for a quick by near our hotel. You could tell it was a busy place for to gos. It took them a second to get to us even though we were the only people there. It's your average looking sandwich shop. The sandwich itself was fine. Nothing great. Nothing bad. Just fine. read more

Super great Philly Italian sandwich. Ordered and had it in my hands about 45 seconds later Great job!! read more

The meatball parm was so good I went back two days later for the toasted Italian Stallion - one of the best sandwiches I've had in the area. Juicy, flavorful meats, spicy pickled peppers, sharp provolone, and creamy aioli on a liscio's seeded roll. Ready in under 5 minutes!! read more

On my way back to my hotel this morning, I stopped in and grabbed two sandwiches for my family to enjoy before heading to the convention center for a volleyball tournament. YUMMMMM is all I have to say! WOW - we are all blown away by the taste and quality of the two sandwiches and wish you were open all weekend so we could eat there tomorrow and Sunday! PS: The quotes on the to-go bags? LOVE! :) read more

If poor service and overpriced sandwiches are your thing, then Matt & Marie's is for you. We ordered from here several times and found the service and quality to be uneven. The tipping point was when we ordered delivery and after 1 hour and 20 minutes of waiting for our food to arrive, we called the store and were told they couldn't find a driver. It would be at least another 20 minutes they told us. Since we ordered hot sandwiches -- and the person on the phone confirmed that they had already been sitting around for a while -- we told them to cancel the order. "We can't do that," he replied and gave us some nonsense about the issue is with their third-party delivery service. Of course, he wouldn't commit to making new sandwiches either. He expected us to eat sandwiches that have been sitting around for one hour and forty minutes!!! And, let's face it, these sandwiches aren't cheap (certainly not worth the money)! After more back-and-forth mumbo jumbo, I said, "Screw it!" and wrote the whole episode off. Money wasted, no sandwiches, lots of frustration. Who needs this kind of trouble from a sandwich shop?!?! We won't be going back here again and I encourage everyone else to do the same. read more

I will consistently give Matt & Marie's five stars, but that is with a caveat. Under no circumstance get the sandwich or salad with the chickpea patty. You're thinking falafel right, as any respectable person would? WRONG. This is an unseasoned, dry, tastes between cardboard and air, just terrible thing. I'm not sure what they were trying to do here, but they need to fix it. On a more positive note, the tuna has a fantastic twist (with balsamic!) and their turkey is on point. read more

Very disappointed. Got a turkey sandwich and it was skimpy. Barely had anything on it. And what little it did have was dry and tasteless. I really had higher hopes for this place. Don't think I'lo be going back. read more

I have complaints but the food was so good I don't care, 5 stars. Just ordered a hot roast beef. There was issues with ordering and pickup. One being that it actually didn't come out hot, more of hoagie cold meat with hot cheese and bread. (Even though I clarified like 3 times to make it hot.) There's other things that got under my skin but I won't post them here. But damn is this sandwich good, yumm. Definitely grab a few sandwiches from here and find one you love. read more

Walked passed this location so many times that I had to stop in and try it. Cute little shop. Few indoor tables but I took it to go. Not a huge menu but I'm sure they would make a custom sandwich if asked. They made my sandwich right in front of me and they were so fast which is always nice. I ordered Uncle G turkey. It was turkey with pancetta and a garlic aioli. The aioli tasted more like mayo and I wasn't the biggest fan. I may go back and try a different sandwich. But I'd rather try a new place. read more

The staff told me to be careful with the chickpea sandwich - that it lived on a razors edge between raving praise and scathing criticism. I dared to ride this culinary wave and am now swimming in its delicious tide, with my tastebuds thankful that we took this ride. Thank you to the wonderful staff of this establishment for embracing new frontiers of sandwich-ry as well as great conversation and hospitality. Strong recommendation! Chris read more

Excellent meatball parm sub. Fast, friendly service. Good music playing. Recommend read more

Ordered lunch from here today via Uber Eats. I cannot believe how disappointing it was. I ordered the Italian Stallion and specifically noted to have the aioli on the side because I was pretty sure I would not like it. Instead, they ignored my note and it was loaded with aioli which was disgusting. The cheese was chopped up and there wasn't much there, nor was there enough meat and the meat was slimy and gross. The only thing that would have been good was the roll except it was coated with aioli. This was just so bad, I had to throw it out. When I called them no one answered. Big waste of money. read more

Matt & Marie's - Not such a stallion - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The hype is real when it comes to the Italian Stallion. It's a delicious Italian hoagie, probably the best in Center City. I've also eaten the meatball parm sandwich. Although tasty, It's not memorable and I can get better ones elsewhere in Center city. It's best to avoid the crowd and order ahead. My order has always been waiting for me ahead of estimates. The Italian Stallion will keep Matt & Marie's a regular part of my lunch rotation. read more

I really, really want to give this place more than 2 stars. The sandwich wasn't bad. I think the flavors were there. But. I found a plastic piece in the sandwich. That's a huge no-no for me. In addition to the plastic, the bread was soggy. I was surprised to learn that Matt & Marie's customizes your sandwich even after you order something off their standard menu (I ordered this online). Plus points for using seeded bread for sandwiches. read more

Matt & Marie's definitely saved me this morning with their Illy coffee and hefty breakfast sandwich. I didn't see the itemized pricing, but together these items came up to under $6. I got an egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich which was pretty tasty and lasted me until dinner. The bread (Italian) was very fresh, with a nice crispy sesame crust. There was definitely a generous amount of filling - a bit heavy on the scrambled eggs. It didn't seem they pre-added salt in the egg, so I would definitely recommend adding some separately, or perhaps some hot sauce, if they have any (sorry, forgot to ask - that's what happens to me on Monday mornings). The amount of sausage was a bit sparse compared to the amount of egg, but it had a very strong flavor, so that was fine. However, I felt the ingredients were not evenly spaced out through the sandwich, so I had a couple bites of egg sandwich or egg & cheese sandwich before the sausage, egg & cheese portion. At any rate, this place is a super convenient stop for me (only a block away!) and the service is very good. (I met Marie, one of the owners, and she is very friendly.) They also have some interesting-looking breakfast pastries that I'd like to try and some tasty-looking sandwiches. I'm definitely stopping back here again. read more

The meatball sub was phenomenal - great flavorful tender meatballs with fantastic marinara. We also had the Italian Stallion which has just the right amount of spice. The crusty sesame seed hoagie rolls exterior and soft inside take the sandwiches up a notch. I would buy just the rolls. Excellent food and service! read more

What a find - I had no idea about this place until we moved offices. Delicious, quality sandwiches and great staff. Try this place if you have not already. read more

The Italian stallion may be the best sandwich in the city!!! 11/10. Will be back for another

Tastes good but a whole lot of work on presentation and lacking in substance (see smoke and mirrors with rolling meat in middle but nothing at end). read more

I love a good Italian sandwich so when I read the article on Philly.com I knew this was a place I wanted to try. I walk past it on my way to work and today was the day. I walked in to find a modern style deli counter with large paper rolls hanging on the wall with the menu written out. The menu was simple with about 8 sandwiches on it. The Capri caught my eye first since I love fresh mozzarella but after looking at all the choices I went with the Italian Stallion. All fresh Italian meats and cheeses including salami, coppa and sharp provolone served on a seeded Italian roll. The pepperoncini aioli was excellent with the right amount of spice. It was the right balance of meat, cheese and bread. I will definitely be back to try the Capri and the Uncle G...roasted turkey with crispy pancetta? Yes, please!! read more

Matt & Marie's - Italian Stallion - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

3.5 stars. *** My review is for their breakfast, which is NOT what this place is known for. (Their lunch sandwiches are popular.) *** I came here around 7:30am while they were in the middle of setting things up. There was no orange juice available and I received the last Mix Max (small packaged Italian sponge cake) from the Yelp check-in offer. I had their Eggs 'Al Forno' with sausage, which is a fried quiche ball for $2.25. It's oily and small (muffin size) but surprisingly very filling. Not too bad. Staff were friendly. The girl at the register never heard of the Yelp check-in offer before and found it amusing (but honored it without any problems). Plenty of seating for breakfast. Barely anyone stopped by. I was there at 7:30am on a weekday. Definitely worth coming back for lunch (based on the other reviews). read more

While I was an intern for US Foods last year, I was very fortunate to try food from some of the restaurants that were either thriving already or were about to open. I visited Matt & Marie's shortly before the restaurant opened, and the owners let me try a sandwich for free. I tried one of their signature sandwiches - The Capri. It was SO delicious! I'm vegetarian, so it's hard to find signature sandwiches that serve vegetarians. But this was perfect. The owners were super sweet, and it was a plus that they let me try the sandwich on the house. I'll never forget it! read more

$11 and change for 1 small chicken cutlet, 1 long hot, 2 slices of cheese and a little aioli. If it were in the $6 range I would be happy however with all the options in the city, not sure why anyone would come here. They had to make $9 and change off my $11 dollar sandwich read more

I love this place! I come here for lunch often. The bread on the sandwiches is to die for...(sesame seed rolls)! I have only gotten the sandwiches. Everything is very fresh. I love the turkey with fresh mozzarella. During lunch it can get pretty packed, but the staff is friendly, accommodating and fast paced. They didn't have a buffalo chicken sandwich on the menu one day and I asked them to make it...they didn't have the ingredients but let me taste alternatives and tried so hard to make it work! I was impressed because if the roles were reversed I probably would have gotten annoyed at me, haha. :-) 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this spot! read more

As a Philly native, I can be picky about my sandwiches, from the bread to the all to the meat. So, when I saw Matt & Marie's come up on my Yelp app, I was prepared for the worst. And the worst does exist! First, they have a nice check-in deal. Second, you can order for pick-up. Lastly, the sandwiches are tasty. I was definitely impressed. For a place that offers a quick lunch grab the sandwiches are great. I tried the sliced roast beef with provolone and I devoured it. The big pro for this place is that it super convenient! Matt & Marie's also offer breakfast and I look forward to trying out that menu. read more

I am happy to see that another independently owned business has popped up in the neighborhood. This married couple brings an inventive option to the Comcast-set and to Logan circle! Thank goodness as it is nice to have an option that is not underneath the comcast tower and that is not a 7-11 or an Au Ban Pain. The few times that I have been here the food has been delicious and the staff has been accommodating and friendly! I hope that this business is successful and will continue to frequent it when I have the opportunity. read more

This place is on the pricier side for sandwiches. I got the Italian Stallion for (~$9). It is high quality meat but I wasn't a fan of the sesame seeds on top of the bread. They put sauce on it but it was still pretty hard to chew and just dry.The cheese is good quality but shredded just fyi. I think potbelly's is a better and cheaper option. However if you want high quality meat then this is the place for you. read more

So this place is in my office building, and I have to say that it is hit or miss. Yesterday I got the American Value Hoagie, and I was quite impressed for $6.25. The sandwich was large enough that I only ate half and have the other half for today's lunch. It was packed with ham, salami, capicola, lettuce, tomato, and onion. It was very tasty. The miss, however, is my coworker's meatball sandwich for $8.50. This is a this-week-only special, featuring housemade meatballs and sauce and mild provolone cheese on a roll. The problem with this sandwich is that the meatballs were tiny, more like Swedish meatball size, and the roll was enormous. He said the meatballs were, "small, dry, and flavorless," and the sauce was "mediocre." He says, "These balls were not touched by the hands of anyone who knows Italian cuisine." The roll, however, was good. Previously, I had tried to get their hot roast beef sandwich while it was a special (before it was added to the regular menu), but they were already out of it at 12:30. The week before Thanksgiving, I got their Thanksgiving hoagie, with turkey, housemade sausage stuffing, and cranberries, which was very tasty. The issue with that, however, was that they seemed flummoxed by my request to have mayo on the roll as well, and it took a good 5 minutes to make. The place was empty, so it shouldn't have taken that long. Overall, this place is ok. They definitely need to work on their consistency, because when they are good, they're really good, but when they're bad, it's really bad. I would suggest focusing on making a product that is good every single time before expanding to other locations. There aren't many places for lunch if you work in Logan Square, so they could make a killing if they just concentrate. read more

Da Food - The menu is flush with many Italian combos. The Ducati had my eye until I saw the Capri. Fresh Mozzarella, spicy pesto spread, basil on a fresh roll. 4 stars out of 5. Environment - I was in sort of a rush and with some work folks so I could not get to take in the environment but just from what I noticed that even though it was busy, the space in the eating area was decent. The wood tables are big enough for 2-3. They do have larger tables for groups. Not too bad. Typical Italian music playing in the background. Staff was friendly. 3 stars out of 5. Price - For a center city spot, not too bad. I'd say middle of the road. 4 stars out of 5. Original Avg rating - 4 out of 5. -- Didn't get a chance to check out the bathrooms. I saw they serve coffee and I am not sure what else. I definitely need to explore this place more. ***EDIT to original review*** Adding in Staff... Staff - I came back here a day later and took in more of the place. I'll say this. I am lowering by 1 star rating because yesterday I noticed that the people putting the sandwiches together were "somewhat" light on the amounts. Today I noticed some of the sandwich makers being lazy. One guy next to me got the Capri and the guy put 1 piece of basil on it with two pieces of half sliced tomato. Pretty chincy considering the Capri's main ingredients are tomato and basil. For my sandwich today I got the Roast Turkey special. The amounts were fine but the organization of the sandwich was all over the place. One half was all turkey and the other half was all onions and cheese. Maybe they are having a bad day... IDK. But seems pretty lazy to not spread the ingredients around. 2 stars out of 5. New Avg rating 3 out of 5. read more

Today was my first visit after a long time of wanting to try this place since it's super close to my work. The bread is good, I like the sesame seed rolls. I opted for the Chicken Piccata which has chicken, tomatoes, lemon juice , yogurt sauce and mixed greens for a little over $8 including tax. So in my head I was imagining a whole chicken breast, grilled or roasted on the roll. But they're cut out strips which is totally fine, I just hope it's fresh and they make it in store. The yogurt sauce is really good, and the lemon compliments it really well. I would say there's definitely more bread than filling but it's a solid sandwich. Unfortunately, somehow a piece of bacon found itself into my sandwich.. and I don't eat pork/beef/lamb.. that that kind of ruined it. Unfortunate. Not yet sure about if I will return Service was friendly, one man running the whole store , very personable. read more

Stopped by for lunch this week, and I don't regret it one bit. As this is right next to two of my favorite lunch spots (Mac Mart & Cleavers), I overlooked it for longer than I should have. I stopped in and order the pork special. As the woman was making my sandwich, I couldn't help but think how think how thin it seemed and that I should probably grab some chips to round it out. But, I was pleasantly surprised with how filling the sandwich was. The combo of think pork, crunchy pancetta (straight from the cast iron skillet) and garlic aioli was absolutely incredible all warmed up on a seeded roll. The service was quick and efficient, exactly what I need at lunch. They offered a great selection of drinks and treats and there was plenty of seating. read more

ordered a birthday lunch from one of my favorite sandwich shops today. they forgot one sandwich and when i contacted them i was told the driver would not be back for at lease 15 minutes. the original order arrived at 11:40 am, i am sitting here at 3:14 pm with no lunch you would think customer service would be important, not today I will spread the work, the female worker I contacted at 1 pm today did not give a rats ass if i had my lunch today read more

Aw, maaaan. I was looking forward to this place. I've passed by it many times or scanned the menu on Grubhub. Since I was tasked by my co-workers to order lunch, I thought I would give this place a try. I have two issues: 1. The food was very late 2. The order was missing a sandwich Both issues made me feel and look bad to my co-workers. I was told to pick the lunch spot and someone didn't get what they ordered. Grubhub issued a refund but that still didn't solve the problem. I wish M&M would have been much more careful getting the food out on time and completely. I won't make the same mistake again, it's a shame. read more

Tip: Ask for your bread toasted. It completely enhances the flavor and gives your sandwich the crispy texture you would actually get in Italy. The testarossa was delicious although quite spicy. The turkey needed a bit more meat with the giant roll of bread, however the pancetta on it really satisfies the taste buds. Great substitution if you're tired of your regular old hoagie. I'm looking forward to trying the salads and pastas. read more

I'm not sure what about this place could be "award winning"? I wish I would have taken a picture of the Italian Stallion sandwich I ordered - it actually compelled me to write this review (never before have I been so inspired). It literally could have come from a Subway. I'm giving this two stars because the roll was good and flavor was decent. But charging $9 for a "hoagie" with literally 3 pieces of meat on it is obscene. Much better options in this city. Unfortunate. read more

Tried the Uncle G's Turkey sandwich at lunch time. The sandwich itself rivals primo's; quality meat, simple ingredients and seeded rolls. It's a good mixture of modern and classy.
