Original Nick’s Roast Beef Experience & Atmosphere

Nick’s Roast Beef in South Philly is not your typical place to where you might bring a first date. Outside looks like any corner bar in South Philly. But if your quest is for a good roast beef sandwich, then this is certainly one of the places to be.

Afraid of a little mess? Not to worry. My roast beef sandwich was a little drippy with their wonderful gravy and no cheese, which seems to be the way to go. This way you get to taste the perfectly tender meat, which is 100% U.S.D.A. Prime cooked on site, the totally fresh bread and the gravy which was heavenly.

This establishment is more than about Roast Beef sandwiches. You might want to order their gravy fries, which are crispy golden fries drizzled with gravy and tiny beef chunks, which certainly adds to the eating experience of french fries. Keep in mind, this is a special gravy that Nick’s made themselves and is used on their roast beef sandwiches.

If not in a mood for a roast beef sandwich, you can also indulge in roast pork , turkey, or a ham sandwich. You can also add to your roast beef or roast pork sandwich by adding broccoli rabe or cheese.

Need something to wash that wonderful sandwich down with. There is your choice of 4 draft beers and 20 bottled beers.

Keep in mind, there are a few roast beef joints in Philadelphia called Nick’s Roast Beef, but only one Original Nick’s Roast Beef. There are no gimmicks, no tricks, just excellent roast beef sandwiches.
