Mother Ruckers is walking distance for me so it has a special place in my heart. And it's probably the closest to that 'mid-tier Philly hoagie' that I grew up with, so it's def a personal favorite. And their meat/$ ratio is top notch. And they carry Herr's brand potato chips. They're my go-to for an Italian for all those reasons.

But I'll be the first to admit that they're not gonna win any quality or gourmet awards. Very 'working class Philly corner shop' sammiches. Different strokes.
