Good spot for a hoagie!!! The portion is huge and toppings very generous!! Wished they had an eating area inside or outside. Nevertheless, I ended up taking my bite to Washington Park. I got the GODFATHER hoagie. Flavor off the roof! The worker/owner was pretty cool. Copped some fries and a soda too. I was good for the night!

Hadn't been here in years, but always enjoyed the cheesesteaks from here. Was gonna go to Angelo's but didn't want to deal with the wait so decided where else could I go and thought why not go to Cosmi's as I'd been meaning to revisit the place. Got a plain cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp on a seeded roll from Aversa. Cheesesteak was nice and finely chopped and loaded with meat. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough cheese on it compared to the amount of meat. Next time I will ask for extra cheese on it.

Our sandwiches were absolutely excellent just the right amount of everything lots of meat all cooked perfectly and just the right amount of juice not too much but very delicious. Staff friendly service was fast. I highly recommend you take the drive and enjoy every bite.!!!!

I was craving a sandwich and this place was in walking distance! it was a good sandwich. I got a turkey and cheese hoagie (i picked provolone, they have mild and sharp) and i added greens as well. Very yummy! it was ready within ten minutes, but you can call ahead and pick up. Got me a dr pepper as well It's a cute little place but no seating, so keep that in mind!
