I'm a fairly new transplant to the Kennett area and everyone told me that Sam's is a Kennett Square institution. Apparently it has been in business since 1946 according to their sign. I figure that the reason is because it has the best … More

This is a local sandwich shop in downtown Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Excellent food and affordable prices. The staff is friendly and the small establishment is "cash only." That's the only drawback, but Sam's is open during the business … More

Good sub. Bread was amazing and really made the sandwich. My only complaint was too much lettuce and not enough meat. Was still delicious but a better ratio would have made it exceptional. More

One of the best Philly Cheese steaks I've ever gotten from this Shop, always used to get steak and bacon with my Philly Cheese steak. I hope to come back and visit. Much love from a California Customer.

For a popular hoagie shop I've had better. What I didn't care for Is that it was SALTY!!! And that's why I gave it 3Star. First of all I didn't ask for salt, but, I did ask for the Oregano, So if you don't like SALT please tell them, Non … More

Took my order quickly and food did not take long to cook up. Only ever stopped for breakfast but the bacon egg and cheese on a hoagie roll is top notch. Old school deli vibe which is definitely missing these days More

Best subs around. This is old school. If you like Italian subs don't even look at the menu just order one. They slice the meat fresh and thin, pull the lettuce apart, place it on an amazing roll. Perfect every time. It melts in your mouth... really.

Small, family-owned shop run by the daughters of the original owner. Great cheese steak and very friendly atmosphere. Don't go in the shop thinking that you won't talk to anyone. Even the other lunch goers will chat you up while waiting for your sandwich. Great place.

Delicious! I stumbled upon this place because I was frequently working across the street in the Kennett Library. It's a great place to pick up a quick lunch - super fresh and quality ingredients. Their sandwiches are huge, I often feel like half is enough but end up eating the whole thing because it's so good. More

Old School South Philly Deli without going to South Philly. I think Kennett Square can completely fulfill a Center City transplants food needs. Sam's opens at 6:30 and closes at 3. Cash only. A very good small plate Kennett Square’esque … More

I was born in '55, we lived way out on Walnut Rd, amidst all the fields and mushroom houses. We would still drive "in to town" for our favorite and best hoagies and cheese steaks; and Sam would make 'em. I would "kill" to have one right now. Go enjoy a Kennett Square original! Long live SSS! More

Excellent cheesesteaks! Tiny little sub shop with all you need for lunch. There are only two seats at a high top table and a bench in the window, so plan to take your food to go. We crossed the street and ate outside on the rooftop patio of the Kennett Square Public Library on a beautiful autumn day. More
