YUMM!! I've always heard good things about this spot and it totally lived up to it. Got the Birdman sandwich and it was so good. Chicken cutlet perfectly seasoned, bread was fresh and it was loaded with sharp provolone and parm. It had a ridiculous amount of broccoli rabe (lol) but hey I'd rather too much than not enough. The price feels high until you see the size of their sandwiches, easily two or three meals and was just as good cold the next day! read more

After being let down by a line up of sandwich places that were closed after 3pm on a Sunday, we wound up heading over to Poe's after hearing many a good thing about it. Tucked to the side of Human Robot, a low-key, high vibe spot for a cold brew and good chat with a imbibed local, Poe's offers a nice variety of seemingly tantalizing creations that leave your taste buds bracing to bite down on the first bite. Between the chicken cutlet, pork and chopped steak options ( beef or chicken,) there are plenty of inventive names and toppings that sound enticing. But unfortunately, what we were presented with fell short. I was craving something that that was salty and acidic but also meaty and vegetal and so I opted for the "Gabbygool." This came with a thinly fried chx cutlet, fresh mozz, spicy capicola, roasted red bell pepp's, fresh spinach, basil pesto, balsamic glaze and a hefty sprinkle of red pepper flakes. This was just O.K. The seeded Sarcones loaf it came on felt like it was a day old and the chicken cutlet was fried well past doneness. The other ingredients meshed well, but all in all, it was a "meh" and definitely not worth the price when there are places in the area that make salivation-worthy sandos at similar price-points. The other option we ordered was the "Weedman" which came with pulled pork, sliced long hots, pickled carrots, sliced cucumbers, cilantro and a schmear of sriracha mayo. This was better than the former, with the fatty pork helping to add some moisture to the well-aged bread. The toppings, however, felt like after thoughts and the rawness of the heavy handed carrots and too thick cucumbers made this another "meh." Though we ate, we weren't satisfied and so despite the good reviews and chill vibes, I probably won't ever be visiting Poe's joint again unless some shifts happen with the quality and preparation of the goods. All in all, Poe's is a good spot to drop into if you're in the neighborhood, other sandwich joints in the area are closed and you're looking to catch a game or throw back a few cold ones but don't expect your mind to be blown. read more

Located in the back of Human Robot you will find a sandwich shop that serves up fantastic handhelds. Poe's is not your everyday sub, thought and care went into the menu here. Flavor profiles exceed typical sandwich's served up in perfect Philly rolls. Substantial enough to contain all the fillings abjust enough tug on the chew, This place is a must try for any sandwich connoisseur. We will be back for sure to try different sandwiches. read more

Got a really bad buffalo chicken cheesesteak. No buffalo sauce or blu cheese, just a small portion of chicken and cheese in a roll for $18. Usually this place is really good, but I don't know if they've just given up since they're leaving Human Robot in a few days. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and service! I had the skinny Joey. Spicy and delicious flavors and fun watching a game and having a beer at human robot. read more

Great service, easy to order, not that expensive, and food was great. Chef was quick and everything tasted as expected. Chef and staff was nice and greeting and made sure standards were met. Great food overall would eat again. read more

We stopped by for late dinner (9pm) and got two sandwiches, the baby wook and birdman. Both sandwiches could have been a little warmer but both were super tasty. Cutlets for both were very well seasoned. Birdman- very garlicky but good. Baby wook- well balanced sandwich. Perfect blend of buffalo and ranch. read more

Someone else had this place saved on their to do list so we decided to check it out! As others have mentioned, it's inside Human Robot, and there is a sandwich board sign outside to make help guide you to the right place. It was a Monday night and pretty quiet inside. A random perk was a guy (not affiliated with the restaurant or bar) was giving out free vegan cookies lol I ordered the Sal sandwich with cheese fries. Overall I thought the sandwich was decent and a nice portion size. I would have loved a thicker piece of chicken or maybe it fried a little lighter, but I'd go back to try some of their other sandwiches! read more

Wanted to try this place out because I wanted a sandwich and saw good reviews. Place an order online I tried calling the place but it kept going straight to voicemail because I have a sever allergy to sesame seeds to see if they have non seeded rolls. I put in modifications stating that I am highly allergic and requested that they call me if they can't substitute the roll, I'll just cancel the order. I also put no roasted red peppers and they still put those on there as well. They didn't do any of that. I get my food and it's a seeded roll. I can't even contact them to tell them that. They need a better phone system and actually read the tickets that come in with modifications read more

Great sandwich place! Loved that it was attached to a brewery. The atmosphere was casual and fun. Prices were reasonable and sandwiches were big! Quality chicken cutlets and loved the pickles. We will definitely be back. read more

Poe's has been my absolute favorite place to eat in the city, and #1 recommendation to friends whom are visiting out of town for years now. I always try my best when I'm in the city to grab a sandwich to go on my way home for the next day. Their sandwiches are legend, the staff is amazing, and the overall ambience is legit. As someone who doesn't have kids, I actually like that this place put their foot down and decided to not allow kids after 2pm. I've had just about every sandwich on the menu at this point, but my favorites will always be the Sal Bonpensiero (RIP BIG P), the Baby Wook, the Gabbygool and the Seoulgirl. I know they took they Luca's meatballs off the menu, but when they're on special every once in awhile, you've gotta get down there and try them. I swear that if I ever get married I'm gonna beg them to cater my wedding (at first this was a joke, but I am 1000% serious and who could think of a better Philly wedding idea???

Phenomenal sandwiches, especially any Italian sandwiches. Fries are ok but outshine by the sandwiches imo. Service is quick and simple. They have their own window and are inside Human Robot brewery- which is a great combo. It's great to eat them outside in the summertime as well. Some of the best sandwiches in Philly. read more

Staff was friendly, portion size is good, and the balance of spicy sauce, chicken thickness, bread quality, and the sufficient amount of Chinese? Parsley made this sandwich one of their best choices. The restaurant is part of Human Robot and it is clean with a small variety of seating. I have a friend who lives near here- so I could be back! read more

Awesome joint! They are called sandwiches but they are more like hoagies. The sandwiches here are delicious. Especially the chicken Head. Pretty inexpensive for a foot long sandwich. No ambiance. You just stand at the window in a line. I was wishing I still lived over by this place, then I realized the deliver to my work. It's a whole new world. read more

Human Robot and Poe's are kind of a two-in-one package, but I mostly come here for the food. Poe's riffs on the typical Italian and chicken cutlet sandwiches. It's just enough that I feel like I'm getting a unique combo I wouldn't have tried on my own. Menu items I've tried: - Splatter (my favorite) - Gabbygool - Skinny Joey Fries I've also had a daily special with a name I can't remember. All the sandwiches are super filling and last me about two meals. Will definitely be back! read more

I was at a friend's place and we were getting kinda hungry. We looked this place up and we were not disappointed. We ordered the food to go and swung by the bar to pick it up, while we didn't stay long we did like the ambiance and the people were so nice to my friend and her dog. I'll say she's definitely gonna be coming by fairly often. We picked the food up and honestly I couldn't wait to dig in, it's been a while since I had a great chicken cutlet sandwich. And the food did not disappoint. I ordered the Sal Bonpensiero, partly for the name, but mostly because I looked awesome in the menu pics. Rich set of flavors in it, none too overwhelming. Amount of balsamic was just right. Mozzarella and peppers a solid combo, and the prosciutto helping out too. The cutlet itself was a little dry but I chalk that up to ordering food at 9:30pm at night. Great filling sandwich I would highly reccomend. The cheese fries we got to split came in pretty generous portions, so much so that we had some left over after. Loved how cheesy they were. Pretty heavy on the bacon but I'm not gonna complain about that, and neither did my friend. Overall I really enjoyed the food from here, will definitely come again soon. Maybe try the actual brewery itself as it looked like a fun spot. P.S. Sopranos fans will appreciate the names of some of the sandwiches. read more

This place has been on my to try list for a bit now, but now that I've tried one sandwich, I need to try more. I tried the Sal Bonpensiero and the bacon cheese fries. Both were 10/10 and the fries were larger than I expected. The sandwich choices are all so tempting and I can't wait to try a few more, if not all. read more

Woolfie sandwich was excellent. I would have taken a picture but it was too good to think of others.

So the entire time I thought this sandwich place was a part of human robot but quickly found out yesterday that they were separate entities. We met up with my friends for a little picnic on a lazy Sunday afternoon. We each ordered our drinks and proceeded to order our sandwiches online and waited to receive texts that our sandwiches were ready. We were using the outside seating, drinking our beers, playing with my daughter when we realized that it had been over 30 minutes and our sandwiches weren't ready. At that point only one of the 4 adults finally received a text, so we went in and turned out the sandwiches were all ready. It appears their notification was glitchy or inconsistent. Regarding my sandwich, I ordered the Hamilton and overall I thought it was good but the house ranch was a bit too much for me, the chives were overwhelming. If I could switch the ranch/chives for balsamic glaze this would be the best sandwich ever, because the chicken cutlet was delicious with tons of bacon and a good amount of fries! The sandwich was huge and I had my other half for lunch the next day. Good sandwich spot for sure. read more

Needed a quick fix for dinner while in Philly and Poe's delivered. Ordered the BigPussy sandwich. Delivery was quick and the food arrived fresh. Comes with ample amount of chicken and mozz. Pesto sauce and roasted peppers brings all the flavors together. Fries were on the thinner side, salty and crispy. Large size, appropriate for the price. read more

Attention to detail. Volume. Presentation. Poe's sandwiches stand out in a city of sandwiches. As a fun "stoner spot" sharing space with a tasty & chill brewery, it would be impressive if the food was just good--but instead the food goes shockingly hard (complex flavors, sturdy bread, lots of sauce) and becomes a reason to stop into the (phenomenal) brewery in the first place. The servers/sandwich extraordinaries are really sweet and never forget the (very necessary) napkins. Best time to go: A perfect late afternoon bite (if you forgot to eat lunch, are just finished with a long run, or need something to pair with your Hallertau) Order: The Seoulgirl is fresh and vibrant with a spot-on kick. read more

I have been meaning to try this spot for a while. Located inside the iconic human robot brewery, they have a great selection of sandwiches, including rotating specials. I decided to go with a classic, chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe. Such a simple sandwich executed perfectly. Starting off with great bread, thin and crispy cutlet (and seasoned), topped with garlicky rabe (probably the best I have ever had). To me the brocc rabe really elevated this sandwich. Normally bland and bitter, this rabe was cooked in a way that actually tastes good. read more

The tomatoes on this were nuts. It was like tomato jam. So good. I've also learned when an option to add bacon exists, it's the right option. Had it delivered over to Human Robot(great Czech pils) and couldn't complain. Super fast service and, hot dog if this isn't the best sandwich joint I've been to in Philly. read more

Poe's Sandwich Joint - Commish cutlet & bacon - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A sandwich joint in a brewery, that's Poe's! Located in the kitchen of human robot, but still operating as it's own business, Poe's is doing their own take on the hoagie. You have your choice of over 20 sandwiches with features including cutlet offerings, hometown faves like a cheesesteak or even vegetarian friendly options. My go to is the skinny Joey, although admittedly nothing felt skinny about this sandwich. If you don't have a baby bib close by, snag a napkin because the oil from the pork is a dripper, but YOLO! The skinny Joey comes with pulled pork, broccoli rabe, long hots, provolone and horseradish mayo. I've also tried the wook fries, that are equally as yummy. Pro Tip for take out orders - ask for the ranch and/or hot sauce on the side, to prevent the fries from getting soggy. read more

A to go spot only, affiliated with Human Robot brewery. You can have a beer while you order online and wait for your food. Usually they come quick, about 15 mins. There was one time they never got my order because they claimed the printer broke so my order ticket never came out. It was kinda weird because I waited for them to make my sandwich but it still came out cold? I'd say their subs are decent but they kinda look better than they taste. Both of the ones I tried were pretty salty. I guess I just have high standards for a good quality sub. read more

I have ordered delivery here once before but this time I popped in for take-out. Dude! I totally forgot how great these sandwiches taste! I mean, mouth watering amazingness! The bread, ALLLLL the contents... top notch! I ordered the 'Big Pussy' (don't look at me. I did not name the sandwich) and the 'Gumpdaddy'. The basil, pesto and roasted peppers in the BP are such great complements to chicken and mozza. Such a great sandwich. The GP was a true winner for me! I loooooove eggplant. So tender and paired with the marinara and ricotta? Drool worthy! I have also ordered the Commish in the past and can attest that the Commish is a great runner-up to the GP. Now on to the reason for the 4 and not the 5. I walked up to the windowfront for take-out and was told that I had to order via an app from my phone. While the staff was super nice about it and only following rules given by management, I was taken aback. Never mind the fact that my battery was about to die, but their website was acting up and my phone was on the fritz. Therefore I stood there trying to submit an order and the staff said it was a store policy of theirs to not take cash or card orders at the window. After some time the staff at the front window took pity on me and convinced management to allow me to place the order with my credit card. SUCH A PROCESS! Don't get me wrong...I want to be safe from COVID as well. But I couldn't help but think about people who don't have smart phones or can't afford unlimited data on their phones. What about homeless people who are collecting money off the block and just want a sandwich? These new tech rules/requirements get me more than bothered because of accessibility issues. What message does that deliver when you can no longer order a simple sandwich from a takeout window?‍ read more

I've had the nachos wit, the Seoulgirl Tacos, the Burger Staxxx, the Baby Wook, and the Skinny Joey and I have to say, everytime I have treid something new, it was bomb!

I left the same review at Poe's otehr place because its equally as good and a can't miss spot. read more

Fantastic food!! I've tried several sandwiches and all were excellent. The last time I was there I got chicken w bruschetta and balsamic glaze. The bread is perfect and the ingredients well executed! We love the fries here - I have yet to try anything but the standard ones. Poes shares space at Human Robot- where the vibe is great and everyone is friendly. Can't loose here no matter what you are looking for. read more

It's really a toss up which is better, Human Robot Beer or Poe's Sandwich Joint. Let's call it a tie. One sandwich I've come back to time and time again is 'The Splatter.' It transcends hoagies to an almost unattainable level of greatness. It hits all those salty and tangy notes you look for in a hoagie, but adds layers of sweet, spicy and funk. You will winding up crushing the entire sandwich even though you should do a half now and a half later. Met the wise guy owner Poe, he's a standup kid with a nice connect on the best proshoot and gabagool. Makes the neighborhood proud. read more

Wow. Husband and I were ending a day in Philly with a beer and decided to get a sandwich while we were here. I hesitated to order the Wolfie because I usually don't like bleu cheese but I'm so glad we went for it. Absolutely fantastic. read more

Only tried the fries but they were stellar. I am a skinny fry girl so they hit that on the mark. Enjoyed the flavors and texture combos as well, just thought it was overall too oily read more

These sandwiches are simply delicious! They are located inside human robot brewery! They are a bit pricey but worth every penny. The gabbygool sandwich is one of my favorites- chicken cutlet, homemade fresh mozzarella, hot capicola, roasted peppers, arugula, lemon garlic aioli with balsamic glaze. AMAZING! read more

Do you love cheesesteaks? Poe's makes a great one. But if you want a customize cheesesteak, Poe's shines. Thinking I found the best cheesesteak in the city for me. I love spicy food. In Philly, that usually means adding some long hots to your order. But Chef Los takes it to the next level. Spicy peppers and chili crunch cooked into the steak? Yes please. Had an excellent heat level, and amazing flavor. Ordered one to take home it was so good. Ask for the Chef Los Spicy Steak Special. I'm ordering it everything I go from now on. Sooooooo good. Doesn't hurt that Poe's is located in the best brewery in Philly, and one of the best lager breweries in the country. Poe's and HR are the perfect combo. Just go. Grab a lager and a sandwich. All choices are great, from both the brewery and Poe's. read more

Po's is rite next to my place! I had heard good things. However my sandwich was terrible, ones of the works sandwiches I have had in a long time. I ordered online which was smooth and efficient it was nice I could pay with Apple Pay, the sandwich was $18 dollars total. Po's is inside a bar with a small window which I think is theoretically cool. However I got the broccoli rabe chicken cutlet sandwich, it was all breading barley any chicken so greasy and flat the sandwich was greasy the cheese was not melty and delicious very stingy with the cheese the broccoli rabe was chopped up which was weird the bread was not soft it was sooo disappointing for the price! I will never go back for one of their sandwiches. Honestly not worth the money. How do you mess up a sandwich. read more

This was second time at Poe's Sammy Joint. The first time my mom and I came the kitchen was closed (pre-Covid). So we just had a couple beers on tap. I don't remember what we had then it was a couple years ago, I do remember the beer we chose was good. Great beer selection, and off course in my opinion it should be its a brewery. So I call myself the Sandwich Queen, one because I love a good sandwich and two because I make a darn good yummy one. I stopped eating dairy so I was glad that I was able to have to have the Gabbygool sandwich with no cheese. "Gabbygool" Chicken cutlet, homemade fresh mozzarella, hot "gabagool" capicola, roasted red bell peppers and arugula with lemon garlic aioli and balsamic glaze. The Gabbygool was bomb, so so so good. Fresh roll, fresh arugula, nicely pounded out chicken cutlet with a thin and crispy bread coating. The garlic aioli tied everything together, on top of the roasted peppers, balsamic glaze, and I can't forget the show stopper capicola either. I'm totally coming back for this new lover of mine. Will be back soon! #newsandwichspot read more

I Honestly don't understand the hype of this place. Extremely underwhelmed here. I have lived in this city an awful long time and have had a lot of sandwich's across the board. I guess I'm a little spoiled at this point but for the price, you can do better, especially at some of the hidden Delis nearby in the neighborhood. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how AMAZING their sandwiches are!!!! I've lived in Philadelphia for 15 years and eaten at nearly EVERY sandwich joint in the city. This was HANDS DOWN THEEEEE BEST sandwich I've ever had. Put it this way... I went on a Saturday night to have a few beers and grab a bite to eat. My sandwich was SOOO good, I went back Sunday to repeat the entire experience. It was life changing and now I feel like I NEED to meet the mastermind behind these sandwiches!!!! The Birdman (picture below) is the most perfect layering of thin chicken cutlets, shaved sharp provolone and broccoli rabe on a sarcone's roll. It's the best chicken cutlet in town. Not pictured was Seolgirl. Not sure if that's spelled right, but it's the current special. It's a spicy Korean chicken sandwich topped with cilantro and oh man is it good!! Drive, run, bike or uber this sandwich to your home and be prepared to get hooked. read more

Admittedly, I haven't been to Poe's in person yet, but I've ordered online several times and, I've gotta say, I've never had a bad sandwich.
