Outstanding roast beef sandwich ! Juicy, tender and very tasty! Order the "Combo Overboard " that's a roast beef with provolone cheese and the bread dipped in beef gravy . A bit messy but Oh So Good!!!

I get my sandwich beyond "overboard". I get it "dunked"/"floating in the river ". I like it super soaked, wash them hands like a surgeon before I start and not one napkin until the end.

The beef combo wet. The best roast beef sandwich in Philly. Nothing compares. Wash it down with a pitcher of beer . Only complaint parking is tough.

I've been going to Nick's since the early 90s, and I've NEVER had a bad sandwich from there. Do yourself a favor and get a beef and cheese combo overboard . (or 5 of them!) Ask them to make it extra we

So good! Sort of a dive but who cares? The food is great!

Obviously... you gotta try their Roast Beef Sandwich.Order an “overpoured combo with outs,” which means extra gravy , cheese , and the crispies — crunchy burnt bits on the outside of the roast. Read more
