The Italian Pork

Jake's Sandwich Board

If you want a real, authentic sandwich whether it's a Philly cheesesteak or pork sandwich, go to Jake's Sandwich Board on 122 S 12th St. There is no point of waiting in the long line at Dinics in the Reading Terminal with the crazy tourists.Go to Jake's to support a Philly local spot which offers great quality!

This has been my third time at Jake's now and I have gotten the same thing twice.The Italian Pork sandwich is probably the best pork sandwich I've ever tasted. The contents includes pork, broccoli rabe and shredded sharp provolone. The cheese was so fresh and melts in your mouth.

What I love the most about Jake's are the sides they have to offer. With my sandwich, I got fried pickles and they are so good! They come with this house sauce which is out of this world. I also tried the crispy onions, which are simply like onion rings. I liked the texture better of the crispy onions because it didn't fall apart like an onion ring would.

Jake's Sandwich Board offers not only pork sandwiches, but steak, chicken and brisket sandwiches as well. They have great specials during the week suck as $5 BYOP Mondays (build your own pork sandwich) or Free Fries Wednesday!

Jake's also has a 5 pound challenge! The challenge includes: 2ft cheesesteak, 4 soft pretzels, 1 box of TastyKakes, 24 mini Peanut Chews and 1 cherry soda all for $34.95! The perks include the challenge being free if consumed in less than 45 minutes and a photo is added to the wall of Fame/Shame.

So if you are looking for a fun, local spot recognized for their quality of food definitely come to Jake's to see what the fuss is all about!
