Northeast Sandwich Co.
Looking for a solid sandwich spot in Philly that hits the sweet spot between comfort and flavor? Let me tell you about Northeast Sandwich Co.—a local gem tucked away at 1342 Bleigh Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19111. This place is all about no-frills dining with big, bold sandwiches that leave a lasting impression.
The vibe here is chill and super casual. It's the kind of place where you can kick back with friends, bring the kids along, or grab a seat outdoors when the weather plays nice. It’s not too loud, just the right amount of buzz to feel alive without being overwhelmed.
Now let’s talk sandwiches—because, honestly, that’s what you’re here for. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich? Absolute fire. Crispy, juicy, with that signature heat that keeps you reaching for more. Then there’s the Smoked Brisket Sandwich, which is melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right hint of smoky goodness.
Craving something a bit different? The Italian Pork Sandwich layers rich, seasoned pork with sharp provolone and greens—classic, but unforgettable. Or if turkey’s more your thing, the Smoked Turkey Club brings all the deli vibes with a serious flavor upgrade. And don’t sleep on the Nesco Patty Melt—a cheesy, meaty, griddled beauty that’s comfort food through and through.
What makes Northeast Sandwich Co. stand out isn’t just the food—it’s the way it all comes together. The setting, the service, and of course, the sandwiches, all create this low-key experience that’s surprisingly memorable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Philly, this spot deserves a bite (or five).

What a great sandwich shop located in the NE. I ordered the Souf Silly Cutlet! The breaded chicken cutlet stayed crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (even with the spread and deliver). The tomato aioli was such a great gentle acidic addition to cut through the denseness of the chicken cutlet. We ordered take out, they were quick. Our order did get mixed up and they were really understanding and even offered to refund us. I tell all my NE friends NESCo is definitely a place to turn!
I was in search of a burger place in NE Philadelphia, so I googled it & in the top 5 was the NE sandwich co. So I ordered their signature burger. It's a corner store located in a residential neighborhood. I actually thought it was closed because of the tinted windows. I was utterly shocked as to how delicious the burger was. It was fresh ground beef perfectly cooked! Every time I bit into it, I stared at it in amazement I'll be back!
I have recently found out about NESCO about 4 months ago and slowly I have been making it through their amazing menu. I highly recommend the brisket cheesesteak and the Nashville chicken sandwich! Service is always nice and a really great spot up in Northeast.
I live in the area and have been meaning to check out this place ever since it opened, but haven't really had the chance to until recently. I decided to try the pulled pork mac and cheese, and also ordered a side of fries to go with it. To start of, the description online (on Uber Eats) didn't appear to mention green onion being sprinkled on top of the mac and cheese (otherwise, I would have requested it to be removed). Secondly, it mentioned sprinkling panko bread crumbs (which I did not see on top of the mac and cheese at all). Thirdly, there was not much pulled pork on top (just a little bit). And finally, I always associate pulled pork with barbecue sauce and was hoping that it would be drizzled on top of the pulled pork and mac and cheese (but it was not). Thankfully I have barbecue sauce in my fridge that I drizzled on instead. The mac and cheese was good, but the pulled pork (and mac and cheese) was luke warm. I don't live that far from the restaurant, so I'm not sure why it was not that warm, but I still ate it regardless. The fries were a pretty big portion and were nicely flavored/spiced. I ended up only eating about half the fries and saving the rest, but they were really good!
Hot chicken sandwich was amazing!! Grab more napkins than usual and enjoy! Simple service, corner location lots of parking close, don't miss this spot.
