T & F Farmers Pride

So I live two blocks from the Italian Market… and this place just feels like home. All the great foods from South Philly appear here, and they do a damn good job making tasty sandwiches and salads. I make it a point to stop in when I am in the Andorra/​Roxborough area.

The hoagies are delicious and the prices are even better. I will definitely be coming here for sandwiches on the regular

Amazing!!! The way hoagies are meant to be like. When baby hoagies are born they aspire to be like the ones here ;). Seriously though, a great little Italian shop that has every Italian you could possible need. Just know it is cash ONLY!

As a denizen of the most italian reaches of South Philadelphia I have high expectations for a neighborhood hoagie shop/​deli. That being said, this spot can compete any day as far as neighborhoody friendly conversation, affordable and high quality meats and cheeses, delicious sandwiches and other delights. Skip the supermarkets and try T&F, you are gonna love it.

The reviews are more than justified. One of the best hoagies I’ve ever encountered. Friendly staff that is more than willing to walk you through the massive array of options available. Dietz & Watson meats, dibruno bros cheeses, amoroso rolls, quality local products, you name it. When we went on a Saturday afternoon, the place was bustling with activity and you could tell that there were regulars. They had roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe that rivaled other local hits, and the italian with prosciutto is just so classic and on point.
It took me awhile to finally stop in here because the façade outside does not do this place justice. Trust me. It’s a gem. I expect to find myself there again very soon and often.

This place has the best hoagies in Roxborough (and by extension, the world). Screw Chubby’s, D’Allesandro’s, and whatever other pretender to the throne there is out there. This place is the real deal.

I’ll admit that I actively avoided this place for years because of the short hours and I really didn’t understand what it was. The name doesn’t tell you what is in the store. I finally went in and was a little overwhelmed by the amount of food merchandise for sale. A fridge just for The Pierogie Kitchen and a freezer for Marchianno’s Stuffed Bread (aka stromboli). They charge $ 1 over what it would cost me to actually go get the latter myself. Wall to wall pasta, soda, cheese, you name it.
I got a hot pork sandwich (don’t call it roast pork, I got sniped at). Very tasty. I got a small which was about $ 6.50. Good deal. I also got the potato white salad which was fine, nothing special.
I was greeted when I came in, but after I paid, I stopped to put on my gloves. I heard talking close by and didn’t see anybody. Looked down to see the two cashiers smooshed on the floor behind the counter yapping. Not a biggie, but you guys couldn’t wait til the customer left? lol
No credit cards for some reason.

Kick ass italian hoagie. Many other awesome things sold too– soft pretzels, tomato pie, pickles, pasta, pound cake, meats, cheeses, cakes– endless greatness. I will definitely be back

I live a few blocks down go here about once a week for a sandwich. Never have had a bad experience. Love that its family owned and that the staff is very nice.
Cash only but ATM in the back
Support your local business’ :D

My hoagie was great. I was pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had a decent hoagie since moving around here. The meat and cheese selection at this place is awesome. They are fresh cut for each sandwich. This definitely makes a difference. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I’ll be back.

This little market is great if you are looking for a sandwich or a unique Italian treat. They have great deli selections and all of their sandwiches are made on fresh rolls. Don’t forget to bring cash because they do no take cards!

It’s Roxborough’s version of your local Italian specialty store. Has an excellent selection of cold cuts and shelf stable specialty items along with some key frozen items including Bobby Chez crab cakes. These guys can claim the best hoagies in the area. Try the Italian it won’t disappoint.

Great deli! We used to drive here hungover to stuff our faces with huge deli sandwiches. It’s a little bit of a drive down Henry ave if you love on the east side of manayunk but worst it for a tasty hoagie.

Cute little grocery store that carries lots of DiBruno products. Good selection for such a small store, only drawback is that it’s cash only!

I love this place. It’s my favorite place to pick up lunch in this area. Their cold hoagies are excellent, as well as the sandwiches. I always get the hot roast pork with sharp provolone and hots when it’s available. It’s as good as any of the famous roast pork sandwiches in the city, but there’s something special about their hots. They really load them on; and they’re tangy with a huge amount of heat. They have a great selection of Italian deli standards, chips, soft pretzels, and big barrels of huge pickles.
The staff are always extremely nice as well. They seem to remember everyone’s name placing an order. I don’t know how they do it. I won’t come in for months and they always get it right. No matter how long the line is you seem to get your food quickly. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Solid deli for the locals, I’m here almost every weekend. Reasonable prices, good specialty products, local products, friendly staff. All you can ask for in your local deli shop!

T & F is an italian specialty store /​deli.
Come here if you are looking for one of the best Italian Hoagies in Philly.
Umm yea so order the italian hoagie with everything on it… pretty simple. Cash only.

The food is great. I love the soups in the fall and winter. Here’s my beef. They can nickel and dime you to death. I often like to have crackers with my soup and if you ask for a single extra packet of crackers they charge you 50 cents. are you kidding me? There are also things you might want on your hoagie that come free anywhere else, but not here… 50 cents, 50 cents, 50 cents.
Alright maybe ill just get a soft pretzel to go with my soup instead of crackers. they say the pretzel guy gets there around 11am. nope. guy does not show up till 1130 sometimes noon, way past my lunch time. So, am I knit picking, yes. But these things can get annoying. They have the support of the neighborhood, and they wont go broke if i get an extra pack of crackers or some sweet peppers on my hoagie, just like I would at Wawa, Lenny’s, or Lee’s. Don’t be so damn cheap T & F! Love you dough.

My dad used to bring me here when I was little and we were living down the street. It wasn’t until recently as I was driving through the neighborhood for the first time in a long time (18 years) that I remembered T&F and their monster hoagies from when i was kid. This place brings back so many memories.
Finally decided I would come in and get the old standard me and my pops used to always split. Italian Hoagie with Prosciutto and Sharp Provolone. I got the small hoagie, i think its runs about 8 inches! I posted a photo, THAT IS HOW A HOAGIE SHOULD BE LAYERED! Nothing came popping out the top. Perfect bite every bite.
They have so much to offer besides the awesome hoagies! Fantastic authentic Italian products. I wont buy my san marzano tomato purée anywhere else! Great assortment of cheeses and salamis.
BRING CASH!!!
You will end up walking out the door with more than a hoagie and drink, so bring CASH. CASH ONLY!

Very good Italian specialty store/​deli. Personally, I prefer Sam’s Italian Market in Willow Grove, but there is a lot they get right here, I think.
I like that they have a good quality mortadella for a good price (around $ 5/​lb). If you try to buy this at Whole Foods, they will scalp you to the tune of $ 14/​lb (outrageous). They also have some nice breads from local bakeries, but they can go fast. I’ve had a hoagie from here one, too, and that was quite good. And the people who work here are very nice.
On the downside: they don’t have large fresh mozzarella, which is a bummer, and the soppressata is not my favorite. Also, most annoying, it’s cash-​only. Half the time I would normally shop here, I can’t, as I rarely carry any cash whatsoever. This is a good place, but not sure it’s worth going to the ATM for.
Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area (and carry cash)!
