"Nick's Roast Beef " at 20th & Jackson Street in South Philadelphia and "Old Original Nick's Roast Beef", Springfield, Pennsylvania are the ONLY bonafide Nick's Roast Beef around. Nick's at 20th & Jackson Street is the original and in recent years a family member opened the Springfield, PA location. Both have the identical quality that Nick's on South 20th and Jackson created in the 1930's, when my grandparents went there.

If you don't know South Philly, finding Nick's (or actually parking at Nick's) may be a little difficult. The menu is simple. Beef or Pork sandwiches with options of Fries or Brocholi rabe.

When you order your sandwich: Combo = with Cheese (specifiy...Provolone), Overboard = means doused with rich gravy.

The Springfield location is just a fantastic but I feel guilty leaving the 'ol neighborhood for the suburbs.

All I can tell you is that this is the best Roast Beef Sandwich you will ever have. The horseradish on the table is HOT. No matter what your size is, you will order a second or split a second.

They now accept credit cards too.
