Man, the sandwich game in Philly is SO strong!!! Everybody tells you to eat cheesesteaks when you go to Philly (which we did plenty) but no one tells you about all the other great options. I would fight a rabid dog over a corned beef or pastrami sandwich from Hershels!!

Got the pastrami and corned beef, both on rye and one as a reuben and the other as a Rachel. Probably two of the best sandwiches I've ever had. My only real problem was the service on the to-go side. Not really any guidance, got ignored by the guy cutting meat for the sandwiches, then he tried to skip over us, then had to reiterate everything we just ordered from him to the lady at the register again. Not really a customer friendly setup, but the food took the edge off lol

Amazing pastrami! Ordered and egg and cheese on rye, and just before I ordered the cashier offered me a sample of the pastrami. Never had anything like it! Warm, fresh, delicious!
