Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is well-known for the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Not surprisingly, all of the top rated sandwich spots in Philadelphia serve a cheesesteak, each making them distinctly their own. If you don't like cheesesteaks, the sandwich shops serve other items, including hoagies, that can cure your munchies before or after you hit a nearby golf course.
Tony Luke's
As of October 2009, Tony Luke's is the top rated sandwich spot in Philadelphia on Urban Spoon. The restaurant serves cheesesteaks, chicken cutlets, roast beef, burgers, other sandwiches and hot dogs. All sandwiches are served on bread that is baked fresh daily. The restaurant has been featured on the Food Network's "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" and has been voted one of the top six American restaurants for sandwiches by Zagat. The closest golf course is the Franklin D. Roosevelt Golf Club, less than a mile away.
