George's Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Philadelphia

George's is a famous spot for the Gypsy's and me being Gypsy of course I had to go eat there, John who is the owner insulting me as I walked in saying to the African American cook THE DIRTY GYPSY'S ARE BACK!!! Thats my first time going to George's John taken my order and said to me in a rude tone, you know yous guys pay first then eat, I thought to myself and figured maybe he had problem with another Gypsy' but that had nothing to do with me, I give him my debit card and he said NO CARD!!! CASH ONLY!!! So I'll give him a $100 dollar bill and he said YOU GUYS ALL WAY DO THIS!!! He says he's been in business for 30+years you should take debit cards it's 2019 or at least have change ready for your customers, so I got change and paid him and I waited about 12-15 minutes before the African American guy served my food I had a veal sandwich, upon taking the first bite I noticed the veal was a little under cooked so I asked John can you make it well done for me and he said IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T EAT IT!!! So I left and never went back first and last time going to the famous George's the owner Acts nice but he is not, I still think he has problem with GYPSY'S, but that's just my opinion because he did not have that attitude with...

Me and Su went to George's after we decided the there was no chance we were going to queue for Angelo's.

This decision led us to get cheesesteaks and root beer from here.

The steaks were phenomenal probably the best we had while we were staying in Philidelphia. Well cooked, flavourful and juicy.

While we were eating we got to watch the two geezers make up other people's orders, and they truly made it look like child's play while expertly putting together all manner of different sandwiches.

The one negative was the root beers, but this wasn't the staffs fault, we picked it out of curiosity, but it turned out to taste like deep heat. Avoid that drink unless you like deep heat.

All in all the best we had and we to like 6 other places.

Trust me, this is the one

Big Up George , we'll be...

Quintessential Philadelphia greasy spoon. That's a good thing. Used to go all the time, but moved outta Philly a few years back. Was saddened to learn of George (I believe this wasn't his actual name) passing away. That was around the last time I stopped by, but they were closed in remembrance. He was a true hustler. The embodiment of a blue collar Philly guy, through and through. I've always ordered the same exact thing, since long as I can remember...two Burn My A$$ hot sausages, with extra long hots, and raw onion. I'm extremely grateful that the cute daughter and other family members have kept this institution from my childhood, and a staple of the Italian Market up and running. I will stop by soon, cause all this talk about food is...
