2 Springfield Spots Serving Area's Best Roast Pork: Philly Mag

SPRINGFIELD, PA — Cheesesteaks are often held up as Philly's most sacred food offering. But what many may not know is the Philly area's roast pork sandwiches often are considered better than classic cheesesteaks.

Philadelphia Magazine recently crafted a list of the "22 Places to Eat a Great Roast Pork Sandwich in Philadelphia," and two Springfield eateries were featured on the list.

The Springfield Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef location and Tony Luke’s in Springfield were among the eateries featured on the list.

Here's what the magazine says about these roast pork slingers:

Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef

This sandwich stalwart, in business under the same family since 1938, serves their thin-sliced roast pork with greens and provolone on a round Kaiser rather than a long roll.

Tony Luke’s

Tony Luke Jr. and his sandwich empire have been through a lot the past few years, but those Best of Philly-winning roast sandwiches are still as great as ever (and you can get them at a Phillies game, too).
