Holmes Hoagies — Restaurant in Delaware

Went to Holmes on Saturday understanding that they might be busy. The customer service was not at all bad but at the same time it was not great. The guy taking my order was cool very laid back and chill. It would be nit picking to say there wasn't a thank you etc and all the expected cs stuff.

What did I get? I got a small turkey, a small Italian and a large Sudan which is their signature sub but it is literally just a Nigerian with a different name. Total came out to $40 which is an excellent price!

Turkey- They way I ordered it, it was accoutrement heavy (peppers,pepper relish, onion, tomato etc) I ordered the turkey with mayo not oil and honestly I got very random tastes of turkey but the majority of flavor was pepper onion pickle and the mayo...it could be the way I ordered it so I can't blame them but for what I ordered? 5.5/10

Italian- I ordered it the same as the turkey except I got oil instead of mayo and same result no flavor of the hams or salami just pickled veggies and onion... 4.5/10

Sudan- Again I ordered the same way I got both oil and mayo I believe....i was not impressed with this although I can say I would definitely recommend it. The most prominent flavor besides the veggies was roast beef and cooper sharp...I would have liked to taste the turkey and corned beef for sure but it was all roast beef....

All in all I'd recommend this place I'd hold off on the veggies etc and let the meat and cheese shine through...one great point was the bread held up even tho we didn't eat them for 45 min after we ordered so that was a huge plus...

Overall rating I would give Holmes hoagies a 6.4/10 and recommend that everyone take the trip and give them your business!!!

My husband follows JL Jupiter and this place was highly recommended so we thought we would give it a shot. We are from the city and wanted to show our folks some love. We tried calling at least 7 times on our way there and the phone just rang. Twice someone answered and hung up. We decided to just drive there again to show our folks some love. When we arrived there were 2 people waiting and the phone was still ringing. The woman behind the counter was TOO busy on her phone to look up and notice we were standing there. The young man told her to answer the phone and put them on hold so she can take our order.

So we ordered 2 lg Sudan with ex mayo AND oil prov cheese sweet pepper. And. A small turkey and cheese. Meanwhile the phone was still ringing and she never got back to the customer she put on hold. We waited for about 25 minutes before inquiring about our food. Low and behold, our food was bagged and sitting on the counter. NO ONE bother to call our name or acknowledge that it was ready.

We get home and the order is wrong. The 2 lg hoagies = 1 had prov and 1 had copper (we wanted them the same) NO SWEET PEPPERS OR MAYO!

I'm not a fan of leaving bad reviews but this was beyond okay! I'm sure you have a loyal following simply based on the phone ringing non stop but I...

I walked into Holmes Hoagies yesterday afternoon, on a recommendation from my boy T. I ordered a "small" Sudan, which was twice as meat-filled as a large anywhere else. When I sunk my teeth into that fresh hoagie, my world changed! After 15 years as a local food critic, I was blown away by the fact that the best hoagie I ever ate wasn't in Philadelphia. No, the best hoagie in the world isn't in Philadelphia, it's on Philadelphia Pike in Delaware! Every ounce of that generously sized "small" hoagie had the freshest ingredients I've ever tasted on a sandwich, perfectly combined in a small roll to maximize flavor. On top of the world class food, you get treated to a warm family atmosphere, where they treat every customer like family, and they enjoy sharing laughs with all of their patrons. I would give them a 10 if I could! Do yourself a favor and head to Holmes...
