Walked in around 2:30 pm. It was quiet. The woman who took my order was very friendly. After a lot of deliberation I went for the 8" cheese steak. It was AWESOME. Fresh, piping hot, and so flavorful. I really like that they don't put bell pepper on the sandwich. Just sautéed onions, perfectly seasoned tender steak, and melty American cheese. This sandwich REALLY hit the spot. I'm partial to Forefathers for cheese steaks. But this sandwich was actually better in my opinion. The mouth feel. The tenderness of the steak and the cheese and onions was just on point. I'm so glad that I was in the area and Yelp pointed me right to it. I'm dying to go back and try the meatball sub or one of the cold Italian subs. My inner NY'er was rejoicing! A nice added bonus. The place is spotless inside. And they proudly display their A ratings from the health department in their front window. As a former restaurant guy, this shows pride in ownership, and that showed up in everything I saw and tasted today. read more

Horrible service and worse attitude from ownership. Stay away and take your money to a more deserving establishment. They think they can get away with low quality food by low quality people. read more

There is a woman that is so rude and she's such a excuse my language B to the ITCH, and the man was rude to me as well and honestly, the service from them makes you not even want to eat their food. Disgusting it gave me such a bad feeling. We're trying to support you and your business and you treat us like scum. Look in the mirror., and one day you're gonna get the right person that you're gonna talk wrong too and watch what happens to you. read more

Needed a quick bite and was craving a sandwich. Last time I got a cheesesteak hoagie but this time I was in for a treat. The place is nice cozy sandwich where you can bask in their admiration of patrons. Each time I ordered a sandwich, I am met with the chef. This man will prepare you for what's to come, The great craftsmanship of his sandwiches. Please come and enjoy their food! read more

The Original Hoagie Shop - Possibly the best Pastrami hoagie in the world! - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The Philly cheese steak had too many fatty pieces of meat. The 2nd sub we got really had no flavor. Don't order the cheese steak nor The meatball sub. Was over priced for the low quality. I enjoyed before with original owners. The new husband and wife team are just running a mediocre deli place now. We won't be back. read more

Hands down one of the best Philly's you'll try! One could say you've never had a real Philly unless you've been to Philadelphia. That's a lie, & the Original Hoagie Shop is proof. No thrills or circus, this small establishment is serving up A1 Philly's in Tempe. First timer, I went with a 8" which was plentiful and meaty. Bread was fresh! Combine the fresh Philly and fresh bread, you have a match made in heaven. The freshness of the meat melted the fresh bread giving a doughy texture. The touch of marina style to make my Philly pizza style was just the mess I needed to take it up another notch. Decently priced, fresh sandwich's and good folks .. Original Hoagie, you have a fan in me, ILL BE BACK! read more

The original owners have sold the joint. There is a difference. Service was okay and the place was clean. I'm sure they will be fine. It's worth a try to see what you like. I always like the Philly and it's a good sandwich. read more

The Original Hoagie Shop - A Cheesesteak Done Right! I just had one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever tasted at The Original Hoagie Shop. I ordered the 8-inch cheesesteak for $11.99, and it blew me away with its quality and flavor. What really stood out to me was how tender and perfectly seasoned the meat was and not a single bite had any fat or gristle. One of the best parts? They use White American cheese instead of the typical Cheez Whiz a personal favorite of mine. It melts beautifully into the meat and roll, giving every bite that creamy, savory perfection without overpowering the flavor of the steak. This place is family-owned, and you can feel the pride they take in their food and service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, the shop was clean, and the service was fast. You can tell this place is run with love and care. If you're a cheesesteak lover (or even if you're not yet), The Original Hoagie Shop is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back next time for a footlong! read more

Let me just start by saying that I have worked in Tempe now for about 4 years and I just recently discovered this place, I am kicking myself for not finding it sooner! I am always on the lookout for a great sub/hoagie place that knows how to do it right. After reading some of the reviews online I knew I just had to try it out. I found out that this owned by a lovely couple, Mr. and Mrs. Grazer, and upon arriving she greeted me at the counter. I said it was my first time and I heard you guys have the best Pastrami in the Valley. She highly recommended i try their signature sandwich, the Pastrami . Com. I was not disappointed. That includes grilled sautéed onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, and melted Swiss cheese. Absolutely amazing! Upon my next visit, I decided to try their meatball mozzarella. They said the meatball sells out every day and is one of their most popular dishes. I can see why! The meatballs were full of flavor, tbe perfect size and the sauce was delicious. It's becoming my new Friday lunch spot read more

Legit cheesesteaks! This small mom and pop hoagie shop delivers quality sandwiches. Now in my regular lunch rotation.

If I can give this place no starts I would for customer service. I called Tuesday at 851 am. I had a complaint from Friday late afternoon right before they closed. Try calling back Friday about a complaint, no answer they were already closed they're closed all weekend and on Mondays and today was my first time I was able to get a hold of somebody. The guy gets on the phone and he's like what do you need I'm prepping. His attitude was so bad and like what I told him I said I'm calling about a complaint and that's not how you treat a customer. And his response was well do what you got to do and he hangs up on me. That is not how you treat a customer especially when you're calling about a complaint on some food that was messed up. I'm throwing this out here and I don't like leaving reviews like this but I will when I get treated like that. read more

Not the typical fast food sandwich shop... It's not "fast" but be patient because the hoagie are worth it. Solid... I'll be going back.

This is a great place however it seems that it's a victim of its own success. My wife and I ordered three sandwiches and had to wait an hour for them to be made. Due to the fact that it seems it's only the owner and his wife. I guess they had a huge order for American Airlines, but it would've been nice if they told us that when we ordered our food. That being said, the food is good, but I don't know if I'm going back after waiting an hour for food. read more

I ate here for the first time in a long time. I arrived a little late at 2:15pm and this was great as there was no line or many people waiting. I waited shortly as two orders were being brought out and the wedge fries looked good on one order. I had a hard time deciding but got the regular Philly cheesesteak with onions. Out a few minutes later was a hot and cheesy sub on a roll that was grilled on the outside, hot and fresh and smelled wonderful. I couldn't wait and dove into this hot and juicy sandwich. Plenty of meat and cheese as the bread was full end to end and I had no issue finding cheese as I have at other restaurants. I think the sandwich was $14.99 plus tax for the 12 inch, once I dug into the sandwich this was a decent price considering the quality and quantity of my sandwich. Looking forward to a return visit as I love a good Italian cold cut and want to try theirs. read more

Not the biggest interior but enough tables to enjoy your lunch at. I got the hot pastrami and it was phenomenal. Great portioning and really great overall. Food came out fast and there's a discount if you pay with cash. read more

We went here a couple of weeks ago and the cheesesteak wasn't the same. Not as loaded and found fatty pieces. read more

Finally, a hoagie that respects the craft. It's been a minute since I've had a sandwich that actually made me stop and appreciate life for a second. I finally stopped into The Original Hoagie Shop, and honestly? I think my standards for lunch have been permanently raised. If you're hunting for that "perfect" sandwich experience, this is the spot. Here is why it's firmly in my top tier: * The Bread: Perfectly crusty on the outside and soft enough on the inside that it doesn't disintegrate under the weight of the fillings. * The Ratio: They've mastered the art of meat-to-veggie-to-sauce distribution. No soggy mess here, just pure, balanced greatness. * The Quality: You can tell they aren't skimping on the deli cuts. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality. The Bottom Line It's rare to find a place that hits the spot this hard. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and get a hoagie here. I'm already planning my next trip back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Absolutely Outstanding! I have never been a fan of meatballs in my life -- but this hoagie shop completely changed that. My son loves meatball subs, so we decided to split one, and I was blown away. The meatballs were tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of sauce and melted cheese. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell real care went into making it. It takes a lot to impress me, especially with something I've never liked before, but this place did it. If they can make a meatball sub that wins me over, I can only imagine how amazing the rest of their menu is. read more

Second time there. First time I had a cheesesteak which was OK this time I had the meatball sub which was flavorless. It seemed to be more of a vodka sauce, compared to marinara sauce. If you go, take your cash because they charge you 3% to use your debit or credit account. I am not a fan of businesses charging their customers for this service, It's just a part of doing business.. They also charge for a cup whether you want a soda or water? Problem is there is no water on their soda machine. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. There are other hoagie shops that edge them out on quality and taste, so unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

I love the Pastrami Sandwich here The Meatball sandwich is the best I have had anywhere I mean from all your big sandwich brands and Your favorite Pizza Joints Premium fries pair better with the food here over the seasoned fries. I visit at least once a month I get the Pastrami sandwich with no cheese I get the Meatball sandwich how it comes read more

I usually don't give bad reviews but my last order was inedible from the smell to the quality! This was my second visit and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and first visit I had the pastrami which was slight better than the Philly and trust this will be my last! Service wasn't that great either they're too comfortable and really need to step it up! read more

Not at all a real Philly cheesesteak. Just because you have eagles banners and Phillies memorabilia doesn't mean you know how to make a cheesesteak. Everything in the restaurant is an up charge. Credit card fee 3%. To go order is .85 up charge. If you want lettuce and tomato... .75 each. My 11$ cheesesteak turned into 19$ with a drink... make that make sense? No water cups. They have a case FULL of empty boxes of desserts. This place would be laughed at in Philadelphia. JOKE read more

If you want delicious sandwiches, this is the place! My team and I wanted a good spot for lunch while in Tempe and we found The Original Hoagie Shop on yelp. We decided to try it out and I'm so happy we did. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak because when it's offered on a menu, gotta see if it's any good. I was beyond good! We also tried the American chicken club and the chicken bacon ranch. All were delicious! The establishment was clean and you can tell the ingredients used were fresh or the food wouldn't be delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jeff and his wife. They are so delightful! I'll definitely be returning to try other delicious sandwiches! Highly recommend! read more

It's very competent. I got my meatball sub and likes it. It definitely has a prominent "Northerner" attitude at the joint. I won't be specific but I'd you to feel it yourself if you decided to (and you should). I'll go back there for at least once more to try out their Philly cheesesteak. read more

It's a hoagie or no-gie! We saw the giant sign that said PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS which was like a big cheesy meaty beacon for us at lunchtime. Forget the bat signal Commissioner Gordon, it's all about the Philly Cheesesteak signal. The menu offers both hot and cold sandwiches with multiple cheesesteak options. We shared the 12" Italian cheese steak which contains cheese + thin sliced steak (Duh), peppers and sauteed onions. It was made in only a few minutes and we were ready to chow down! As for seating, I appreciated that there were several 2 top patio tables outside for dining, as well as nice n squeaky clean tables inside. Service was super friendly. The cheese steak was really good! It was PACKED with meat, glorious meat! The cheese had that lovely cheese pull to it and I enjoyed the sweetness of the onions and pickled peppers (Peter Piper was unavailable for comment on picking pecks of them though). The roll was soft and held up well to all the ingredients and the flavors worked well to create a filling satisfying sandwich. It's not my favorite cheese steak of all time but it's probably one of my top choices for Arizona. If you're curious, my top two are places in San Francisco and Philly (Duh). read more

Great food and great service! The atmosphere was very reminiscent of an old new york shop.

I visited The Original Hoagie Shop for the first time and the first thing I noticed is how clean it is. All of the tables were pristine, the condiments were neatly organized on all the tables and the decor was fitting! The woman who greeted me and took my order was very nice and explained the menu to me. I ordered my food; an Italian Cheesesteak and Wings, which came out in under 15 minutes and was piping hot! Everything was delicious! The wings were crispy and seasoned (8/10) and the cheesesteak was hot and juicy with a nice amount of peppers however I could have used a little more seasoning on the meat (9/10). All in all, 8.5/10. Til next time! read more
