Fresh Works of Richmond

I love places like this. I thought the only good ones were in new York but this one surprised me. I over ordered actually because everything looked so good and had to take some home, but that’s okay the hubby loved it more than I did. Their basil chicken salad was awesome and I could return just for that alone. Their baked stuffed potatoes were huge and amazing as well, and not over priced at all. I didn’t even like turkey burgers but they looked so good and now I’m a fan.

I’ve been a fan of Fresh Works for years when ordering back in Northern Liberties and now we are even closer to this location in Port Richmond. The steaks and sandwiches are usually on point and one of my favorite things is the «sampler platter» because of the HUGE variety of dips/​sauces they give with the appetizers (I’m talking sour cream, marinara, BBQ, honey mustard, and some amazing spicy stuff I don’t even know what it is but its life altering). Overall, its a reliable and dependable place if you just can’t figure out what to eat and wind up ordering delivery. Fast delivery, reasonable prices, very flavorful and good food.
However I felt compelled to finally write what will unfortunately now be a mediocre review of Fresh Works as a few nights ago both my wife and I got VERY sick from what we believe was food from the fryer. All she got were a couple of fried appetizers, while I got a chicken cheese steak and a small fried app on the side. The cat had a few pieces of my chicken sandwich and was not sick or showing any symptoms of eating something bad. And my wife was MUCH worse off than I was, combined with the cat being OK, lead us to believe it had something to do with their fryer as it was the only thing we both ate that the cat did not.
Both of us were basically up all night taking turns getting sick, leaving us both in terrible moods this morning completely dreading having to go to work on no sleep with still upset stomachs. Which, understandably is a big disappointment since we normally have liked Fresh Works and have ordered countless times in the past, but we will definitely be reluctant to order in the future.
My hope is the owner/​management will read this and clean your fryer! Or get to the bottom of why folks would be getting sick from your food.
Moral of the story: food is great, fast and priced reasonably, but approach with caution.

I feel like it’s hard to find good delivery… but we finally found it. The sandwiches are delicious, served on fresh baguettes. We’ve had salads, a chicken parm sandwich, a chicken cheesesteak and fries. Always hot, always fresh. And they have great coupons! Free French bread pizza? Yes please. Hands down the best delivery in the neighborhood for sandwiches and such.

They have great food, however the problem is one they wont take an order 45 or longer before they close. that is ridiculous if they aren’t going to take orders that long before they close why even be open till the time you are. The other problem is they take forever to deliver and the food is cold. If we get hot wings that come with sauce we have to order extra hot sauce and have them put it on the side because if not they are very dry and they blame it on how long it took to deliver. if they improved on these things I’d give them a better rating.

Solid food, especially if you’re in walking distance. Tends to be tasty, although the wraps are a little small for the price.

Great cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks.
They make their own rolls also. Def a good spot in the neighborhood.

Just got my delivery of honey BBQ wings, a sampler, and whole cheese steak. Quick service delicious choice for a lazy day.
Wings were really meaty and saucy. Bonus
Sampler came with a little bit of everything. Bonus is the variety of sauces to dip with. Thank you!
Cheese steak — was jot my meal but from the look of it the bread was freshly made as described by other Unilocalers.
This place is a neighborhood gem. Glad I found it!!!

I’ve been eating from this place for the past 3 years & have never been disappointed. Yes, you can find hoagies & cheesesteaks on just about every corner in Philly but this place definitely is better than the rest.
They bake their own bread & its absolutely delicious. Rolls, meat & ingredients are ALWAYS fresh. I work at the hospital around the corner so Im always looking for something quick & delicious. Order is usually ready in about 5−10mins. They just might be one of the best hoagie spots in the city

The best in the area for cheesesteaks. They bake their own bread daily.
The location is a little hidden, and it is set back inside a fenced area. However, it is also next to a beer distributor making it very, very convenient.
I like the cheesesteak with mushrooms best but my boyfriend raves about the buffalo chicken cheesesteak. We frequently get cheesesteaks as takeout and rarely do delivery seeing as we only live a couple blocks away. Our orders are always ready promptly if not early. They also sell a variety of cakes by the slice which is great if you just want a little taste.

Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak is SOOO GOOD

Decided to change to 4 stars because they make their bread and it’s actually the best place in the area if you order it there. The fries are gdlk
Don’t ever ask for delivery. It took too long and the food was all cold.

Just got a really good buffalo chicken salad. It was very fresh. The fried mushroom Poppers were good too. I didn’t like the sauce they came with though.
Will order from again!

Used to order from here sometimes and it was pretty good, tastewise anyway. We called on a Monday eve and it took over an hour. That aside, when I got my ‘cheeseburger hoagie’ I opened it and was like what the serious f? A bunch of lettuce & tomato with a smidgeon of meat, hardly equivalent to half a hamburger; At first I thought they had forgotten it, but I guess I’ll just consider it the ‘dieter’s special’ tonite;

We got a flyer/​menu from Fresh works this week and feeling both end of week exhaustion and adventurous we decided to get some food delivered. We ordered a cheese steak hoagie, roasted pork sandwich and chicken wings. I generally order my wings dry, because I hate them drowned in sauce. It also shows the quality of both the chicken wing and the cook on it. My chicken wings were so overcook there was absolutely no moisture left in the poor bird. The wings came with wilted, browning celery sans a side of blue cheese, but with a half pint of honey mustard sauce. Aside from the bread, which was good, the meat in both sandwiches was tough and the provolone cheese that I paid extra for was missing.. Maybe it was a bad night or a busy one and the food was rushed. Regardless, We won’t be ordering again.

Due to the crappy attitude of the manager, I’ll never order from here again. Huge bummer because I love their food and have been a fan since I moved to the area a few years ago.

Great value and awesome fresh food. Chicken cheesesteaks are really great. Fresh bread for the rolls are delicious. Very fast for pick up and the guy the works at the front is really nice. Salads are the only thing I’ve had that I didn’t care for because of the iceberg lettuce.

I ordered a turkey and cheese wrap from the works I didn’t like it only had two pieces of meat on the entire wrap the cheese was to thick it’s really just packed with lettuce. Let alone they gave away my order to someone else so I had to wait an additional 15 minutes for them to remake my wrap. I would not suggest to anyone.

So close to my new house. So much fried goodness. Danger!
The large cheesesteak is basically a meal for two. Or 2+ meals for yourself if you’re greedy and gluttonous. So far, the steak is the only thing I’ve tried. The meat is good, and it seems less greasy than a lot of other places, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s better for you. It’s still a cheesesteak.
I ordered to go, but the guys inside are nice and the place is pretty pleasant despite being in a weird beer distributor back lot behind the Hollywood Tan.
Look forward to trying the other menu items when I’m too lazy to cook at home. So close by!

Pretty solid place to get a (chicken)cheese steak in the Port-​Fishington ‘hood. I have a sadly standard order, a «regular» chicken cheese steak with an order of onion rings. My order always arrives hot and generally pretty quickly — generally between 15 – 30 minutes. I did get a ceasar salad once, I was REALLY disapointed because it was pretty terrible. Otherwise I have always been happy with my order. The regualar steak is big enough for myself and a bit for my toddler and the dog.
The menu is pretty typical, various cheessteaks, many forms of sandwiches, wings, appetizers etc. Some dessert options too, and of course, sugary beverages. The prices are good and they are always running specials.. I agree with other reviews the bread is really very good and has never been soggy.
I guess I should maybe expand my horizions and try something else on the menu.
If you are in a dinner pinch, they will even accept debit/​credit card payments over the phone, that way all you need in cash is enough to tip the delivery person.

Definitely the best take out food in Port Richmond. Their bread really makes the sandwich here… I especially love their cheesesteaks, chicken parm, and tuna hoagies.
They have great coupons on their menu too, free sandwich Sunday through Wednesday, free french bread pizza, etc.
Staff is very friendly and deliverly is quick.
It’s a little hidden behind a beer distributer, but definitely worth the hunt!
