Shank's Original

Shank's Original Call 215-218-4000 for Pickups, Sandwich Trays and Catering Orders. Limited availability for delivery. Politicians came. Sports stars came.

In 1962, when Shank and Evelyn Perri opened their luncheonette in South Philly’s Italian Market, they had no idea their establishment would become a Philadelphia icon. They called the place, simply, Shank & Evelyn’s and dedicated themselves to serving the best Classic Philly Sandwiches. All marketing was done the old school way - by word of mouth. Show biz personalities came. They rubbed elbows wi

th locals as they savored the Shank’s signature sandwiches. All thought of Shank’s as THE place to go when they were craving for the Original Taste of Philly. And nobody ever left hungry. Shank’s continues to serve award winning Philly Cheesesteaks, Chicken Cutlets with Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone, Old School Italian Hoagies and other Italian delicacies. Withstanding the test of time, Shank’s truly is the Original Taste of Philly. There is no secret to Shank’s success: “We use the finest ingredients and freshest bread to create the best Classic Philly Sandwiches. There is South Philly passion and pride behind every handmade Shank’s sandwich. Shank’s makes every sandwich with love. We take pride in offering high quality products with exceptional service to our customers.” Now, 60 Years later, it still holds true!

Calling all future entrepreneurs! 📣

Do you have a kid with a business idea? We’d love to help give them a chance to shine with a pop-up event at our space!

We recently hosted some young bakers raising money for horse camp, and it was amazing to watch these kids work hard, learn, and grow. 💛

If your child is interested in setting up a pop-up, reach out to get on our calendar!

A few things to keep in mind:
• Items cannot compete with products we already carry (no sandwiches or similar menu items)
• Please plan with the weather and waterfront wind in mind when setting up

We love supporting:
✨ Future entrepreneurs
✨ Teaching children about money and responsibility
✨ Building confidence and leadership skills
✨ Raising the next generation of leaders

Message us for details and available dates!
