Quick Stop Deli

I was awaiting for the 42 bus to take me downtown to Walnut Street Theatre and I spotted this deli while looking for bus. I was hungry after theatre and decided I was to hungry to wait for food so I tried that night after stepping off bus. Quick Stop deli is convenience store with a deli counter where you can buy sandwiches and hoagies and lunch meat. I had turkey hoagie with provolone cheese. It was great! The prices are affordable and they are quick. Yup ! You can get 6 inch or foot long sub, plus other bread for regular club sandwich. I will definitely come back. Nice to know I have Mom and Pop type deli store a block away. !

Love this place. Great quality low cost and fast service. The workers are a little shall I say navy at times BUT I would be too with the kinda business they bring in … Check them out you won’t be disappointed

I’ve been checking out the University City water ice options. I think Fred’s is the best, but this place has pretty good water ice — Philadelphia Water Ice. I like Philadelphia Water Ice better than Rosati Ice (sold by several of the nearby stores). I’ve come here pretty often this summer.

Great hoagies! Low cost, but taste great. Lunch meat specials, and fast service. It does get busy around lunch time, but they move quick so the wait won’t be long.

Just saying the words «Quick Stop» now in my house brings back some amazingly good memories of incredible hoagies gone by… love this place, man!
There are three take-​out spots on this one ½ of the block alone (and they’re all great, btw), but this place has the hoagie on lockdown. The prices are dirt cheap, the food is great and plentiful, and there’s zero ambience… and ambience has that tricky way of finding its way onto a receipt. Not necessary when you’re just looking for lunch, and the floors covered in cardboard on rainy days aren’t going to convince anyone otherwise.
In all other ways, this place is just the typical corner joint – penny candies, Day’s soda, $.25 baby bags of chips and a very weird selection of larger household items in the back – but they get those hoagies down so perfectly that it could be a factory that produced nothing but scorpions and liquid fear in the back, and the place would still be great.
If there’s a crowd (which can truly happen), just wait a few minutes. I don’t know if it’s the same now as in 2010 or so, but there used to be a somewhat larger-​than-​normal homeless population in the area, and they could definitely stink up the place. Even then, though, I was happier that they could actually afford to buy the food over stealing it or eating from a trash can.
Quick Stop is badass. Even if you only go once, it’s strangely unique, and good for that. And you’ll love your hoagie.

I love the Quick Stop Deli. In many ways, it’s similar to it’s main competition, just down the block, Quick & Quality. I find it interesting that they both have quick in the name, but I am not sure if there is a story to it.
Anyway, much of what they offer is comparable. The competition has a grill. But their sandwiches seem slightly better. I think it’s just the preparation. But the main thing that is better hear is the lunch meat deals. They have deals where you get lunch meat and lunch cheese, a pound each, for about five or six bucks. You cannot beat this deal.

I love this hoagie shop! True Philadelphia style hoagies with meat and cheese overflowing the top of the sandwich. You can’t beat the prices either, I would get a large turkey ham hoagie for $ 4 which would easily out-​weigh at least 3 footlong subway subs. The only complaints I have are that its cash only (atm located in the shop), it can get crowded, and on rare occasions the bread seems a little tough. Other than that, great place, I go anytime I’m remotely nearby.
