Sam's Sub Shop — Restaurant in Kennett Square

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 subs I've ever had. I get the Italian Special and it was loaded with fresh cut meat and cheese but they cut the meat thin which makes it all the better. Nothing there is precut, everything is made to order. At lunch it can be pretty busy there so be prepared to wait a bit, though it's pretty fun to watch them do their stuff. I was in on a Saturday morning for a bacon egg and cheese and it was ridiculously good but when I was there I started crying because they were slicing onions...they slice their own onions and tomatos! which is incredible as most restaurants get their veggies from cisco already sliced. I saw a comment here that said something about the board of health. In PA you can check any establishment on line for their board of health rating, I checked on a famous restaurant in town that before I made a 6month! in advance reservation and they had some infractions... Sam's had a 100% score. And the people that work there are really funny and nice. If you're in the are you got to check...

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 cheesesteak in an old school sandwich shop complete with a table for four right in the middle of the patron area. I learned from the two Old-Timers I sat with that Sam's daughter and her husband run the place and the HS football team is looking good this year. Sam came back from WW2 and opened Sam's sub shop in 1946. This was a very good cheese steak. The mushrooms and onion spent some quality time together on the grill. Everyone's going to give me a hard time and say I only care about size but ‘come on man’ look at the pictures this Cheesesteak needed more meat. Overall very good cheesesteak experience. $9.75...

Oh Sam's Sub Shop... First of all, the place wasn't air conditioned and it's August. A food establishment that isn't air conditioned? Gross. Three of us walked in together (boss and co-worker) and we saw mayo just sitting out, cheese just sitting out(not in a container sitting out either...just sitting on the counter), meat and cheese being sliced on the same slicer, no gloves, no hair nets, touching money then touching food and didn't take debit or credit (which isn't a huge deal). I just found all the fans blowing dust around in this fairly unclean establishment disgusting.

The health department should pay a...
