The time had come again. I was hungry while at work, and I had to figure out a place to go for a good sandwich.

There are plenty of options around the Valley. Some of my employees had gotten from a place in Palmyra a few times, so I thought it’d be my turn to give it a try.

I went on the Facebook page of Hoagies on Main and was able to see a picture of their menu posted. The menu has several Philly-style hoagies as well as cheesesteaks, meatballs, burgers, and chicken.

Located at 601 W. Main St. in Palmyra, they offer a couple of tables for indoor eating, but they mainly handle take-out and third-party delivery options. I called my order in and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes.

The menu.

For today’s selection, I ordered a large South Philly Italian ($8.75). This sandwich came with salami, hamcola, prosciutto, sharp provolone, lettuce, tomato, and onion. And as usual, I ordered it with extra mayo. They offer a hard and soft roll option as well.

The South Philly Italian sandwich.

Upon first look, I knew it was going to give me at least two meals. There was enough meat in this sandwich for two. I was a fan of the spices added on top, which gave it that extra kick. The prosciutto was the bottom layer and, for me, it was a little tough to bite through on a full bite. The sandwich itself didn’t break apart so it wasn’t too messy.

Our take: This family-owned shop offers friendly service and makes a pretty good sandwich. They offer several variations of Italian. The quality of meats and the sharp provolone really stood out. Although I only ordered one sandwich, I really want to go back and try some more.

We give this place ????.
