The Sandwich Stand

Love their sandwiches. The roasted pork sandwich is amazing. We try and come here each time we are in Philadelphia. The restaurant is in the reading terminal market and I gave it 3 stars only because they have removed all of the counter seating. Now you have to take your order and hope you can find seating. When it’s busy you may have to wait to sit.

Let me just get to the Food Review of the Roast Pork Sandwich, "AMAZING SANDWICH"! My first visit to the Reading Terminal Market and my first stop was Tommy DiNic's. I heard about them through a food episode of the best sandwiches in the U.S. through Adam Richman and had to make a trip there. Definitely Worth the Trip! Will Definitely be back. If you like spicy, get with the Italian Long Hot Pepper. What a taste combo!

You cannot deny that Tommy Dinic’s is fashioned as one of the greatest sandwich places in Philadelphia, let alone in the nation. Back to a bittersweet childhood upbringing, brought me back to Reading Terminal market, to a bittersweet broccoli rabe, succulent pork, and sharp provolone. I’ll just say, it’s a heck of a sandwich! I’m not usually in for pork, but Tommy Dinic’s made me love it! Their topping is bitter but the juicy flavors overpower the rabe. The pork was tender and the cheese was immediately hitting my senses. The bread is the only thing I have to dock on this sandwich. It’s too soft for my liking. I would’ve rather had a bread that is soft and fluffy on the inside, and crispy and crumbly on the outside. That way, I can savor the already amazing sandwich for what it’s worth. The best thing about this sandwich, it has greatly impressed me that the roast pork’s reputation lines up against the immensely popular cheesesteak! I’d give the upper hand to the cheesesteak, but don’t dismiss what flavors you’d be missing out on with Dinic’s! Don’t overlook Philly as a hotspot destination for food, beyond its history. Food culture is about a good as it could ever get. Couldn’t believe how quick the service was considering the line. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner who took care of my meal. He was a great man who obviously has carried his family tradition that has its loyal customers and tourists enjoy his hospitality and food. I would most definitely recommend you visit Tommy Dinic’s!

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Skip the Philly Cheese Steaks that are mediocre at best and come get a pork sandwich. Fantastic. The market was awesome too so just an added benefit to coming to get a sandwich.

Loved this place. Basic sandwich menu, no thrills or frills but they know their art. Was recommended by a good friend and It didn’t disappoint. Must order the pork roast sandwich.
