Slack’s Hoagie Shack

Awful! I will never order from here again. I can honestly say the worst 9 dollar cheesesteak I’ve ever had between Fishtown and port Richmond. My fried onions were charred black and the meat was stringy. If you like doughy rolls come to this place! We also ordered a hoagie on the seeded roll. The seeded Roll was stale and the hoagie was nothing at all to rave about. I ordered a simple
Turkey and cheese sandwich on a roll for my child. The mayo was dropping out of the roll. Even he didn’t eat it. Not sure how you can mess up a simple turkey and cheese on a roll but they managed. I would have rather spent my 50 bucks at McDonald’s.

I have a pretty serious beef with Slack’s after a NIGHTMARE experience attempting to get some hoagie delivery.
Long story short (because believe me, I could go into a way-​over-​the-​top, rage-​filled rant here): We live about 5 minutes away, but it took 3 hours to get our delivery. We called 4 – 5 different times, and each time the jerks here kept lying about where our order was, and insisting they couldn’t refund us. At the 2 hr and 45 minute mark they said the driver delivered our order to the wrong house, but still pretended like they wouldn’t refund us.
Finally, we left to get food elsewhere, only to have our housemate call and say our delivery — that had supposedly been delivered to someone else– how now, THREE HOURS LATER, arrived.
Folks at Slack’s were super unapologetic and unhelpful through the whole disaster. I kinda hope they get infested with rats and shut-​down #bitter

Food pretty good nothing special Big quantity a anything to choose from. Main reason I’m giving 4 stars is cause they served 30 kids in prob 20 min great for large groups

Ok so I e been to slacks for lunch maybe 500 times in my life me and my guys go there a lot so anyway I’ve noticed a huge change I’m not sure if it’s new ownership or what but today my experience there was not good well just say that my last time going to slacks ill have to cut my ties with them

Great shop got a chicken cheese steak! With mayo, lettuce, bacon, pickles, and much more was really good!
They are friendly and very helpful. They will go out of their way to make sure you are happy.
I enjoyed the food, the bathroom was clean and there was plenty of parking available at the location.
First time coming here will definitely come again!

The food isn’t bad but the employees are completely incompetent! I ordered 2 things and did pick up because it would take 3 times as long for delivery. When I went to pick it up the good wasn’t done and I had to wait 10 mins for the food to be done. When paying for the 2 things I ordered I noticed that there was only one thing in the bad and they has completely forgot my other item! 2 things really you can’t hand that! I pray for anyone own try’s and places a large order cuz the bugs will be all screwed up! I have ordered from here a few times and that was the last time! Usually they will mess up a topping or something small but not completely forget half of an order.

This place hoagies was on point we ordered The Richmond and it was very good. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients. It has turkey roast beef provolone and other fixings. The customer service was good too. The roll was perfect (Amoroso). We will definitely be back to Slacks.

Grosssssss wings black… everything greasy place dirtys definatley under new managememt no gloves people handling rolls never ever again

Let me start by saying that I don’t think this is characteristic of slacks but is just about my experience. I noticed that the person making and prepping my sandwich was doing so with his bare hands… I asked sarcastically if his hands were clean hinting for him to put on gloves like the rest of the employees, and he just laughed and said don’t worry they are clean and continued to touched my chicken and compress my hoagie with his entire palms and fingers… completely inappropriate and unsanitary…1 star for the experience… cannot vouch for the food as I threw out the sandwich… I am not one to make a scene and yell at an employee for not wearing gloves that is not my job. $ 10 down the drain.

So much meat on the chef salad! No complaints. And I came on the first Wednesday which was $ 4 Italian sub. Can’t beat that

Food was Awesome but more importantly employee Eric (superfan) was tremendously helpful and knowledgable in guiding me on my gastronomic journey. His enthusiasm and skill are certainly a testimonial to great management support, wonderful parents, his glamorous girlfriend and some guy named Sam.
The food is awesome!!!

I really like this place. It is low key, and that’s a good thing. I went in and didn’t experience any line, but their were people eating inside (many tables), and people waiting for their orders to finish. I got a Buffalo chicken wrap, and it was so damn delicious. They asked if I wanted mild, hot, or some hotter than hot sauce. I opted for hot, and I’m glad I did. It was definitely hot, but not too hot where I couldn’t throw it down in seconds. The service is so great, the guys are really cooland respectful.

Slack’s has good hoagies for a chain restaurant. Everybody that works at this particular location is very friendly and they like to talk loudly about sports while they work. I like that. They always have ESPN (or the current local sporting event) on TV and I like that too.
Once some customer was dropping the F-​bomb kinda loudly and one of the employees firmly asked him to cut the language or leave. I’m not offended by bad language but I thought that was pretty awesome. This employee didn’t hesitate to lay down the law in order to keep the atmosphere pleasant for everyone. Good stuff.

Surprisingly pleased! This is one of the places renewing my love for the cheesesteak.
How do I like it?
Meat chopped up
Onions, mushrooms, sweet and hot peppers
mayo and white american cheese

Ordered this to my hotel (holiday inn penns landing). The sandwich was pretty good and the chili was solid. It is great for hotel delivery and came quickly. They do not take the check in coupon for hotel delivery, apparently, but there was some confusion, so you may want to ask. Regardless, sandwiches travel better than burgers anyway.
Ordering to a hotel can be dicey, but this is a safe bet.

Ordered wings and an italian hoagie to share. the wings were a joke. It was like someone stripped all of the chicken off and served us fried bones. Literally a centimeter in diameter. Not worth it. Hoagie was processed meat and a stale roll. I’ll stick to primos.

After my horrible experience with Geno’s and Pat’s, Slack’s turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
First and foremost, the staff was truly great! I had just left Geno’s and Pat’s, and was heading back up the coast to go home when I decided to try a Philly style Hoagie. Best decision I made all that day! Everything was fresh, from the rolls to the veggies. It was a heavenly mix of the right meats and oils. Slack’s made my lunch adventure from New York truly worthwhile.
I plan to head back there several more times before leaving the east coast. Think I’ll try their cheese steak on my next visit, minus cheese whiz if they serve it that way.

Local Philadelphia franchise turning out some damn tasty hoagies!
Regardless of whether you call them hoagies, or subs, or grinders, or any number of other regional names, the fact remains that these guys make a delicious sandwich with an enormous amount of meat and toppings options. I counted more than 20 different hoagie sandwicheson Slack’s menu — each can be made with your choice of toppings and dressings, and along with that you can choose from traditional deli sandwiches, hot sandwiches, cheese steaks, burgers, dogs, wraps, and grilled chicken sandwiches. They also have Kerr’s chips & pretzels (local favorites).
For my lunch I ordered the Slack’s Italian Hoagie which was genoa salami, peppered ham, cooked salami, capicola, and provolone cheese on a sesame seeded roll. Dress that with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and sweet peppers, then add oil & vinegar and their dried spice blend. Toss in a bag of chips, and you’ve got a very yummy lunch.

I’ve given them multiple chances… Today was my last time getting food from there.
Everyone hypes this place up but I don’t understand it because they’re so «average».
Fresh Works is a couple blocks away and actually has GREAT sandwiches.
Maybe if I wasn’t expecting their food to be this amazing stuff it might end up being bring okay to me… Dunno.
They’re also too dammed expensive! If the food tasted better they could get away with the high prices but that’s not the case.
They’re just not that awesome.

I was checking in on a claim that Slack’s has an excellent cheesesteak. Since Griladelphia went out of business, I’ve been craving a good cheesesteak place close to my house.
We ordered cheesesteaks while my mom was in town. She knew I’d be posting arrview, so she took notes as she picked up the food. The place was friendly and busy. There seemed to be a lot of regulars, and everyone behind the counter was at work on the lunch rush. Slacks has a pretty large menu, with subs as the main player, but wings, ect ect.
They charge extra for cheese wiz, which when talking about Philly cheesesteaks should be standard. Other than that, I was quite happy with everything from Slack’s. The hoagies are pretty big, and everything here is reasonably priced. The meat is high quality, thin sliced and griddle cooked, as it should be, and it’s clearly a good representation of a Philly cheesesteak. It’s bigger, better, and cheaper than something you’d grab at Pat’s or Geno’s.
Bottom Line: There’s not too much to say about this place. It doesn’t blow me away, nor does it disappoint. Slack’s doesn’t do anything amazing, but it’s a good cheesesteak, and I now know where to go when I need one.
