Lou's Sandwich Shop • 1941

Brothers Louis and Charles Alba carry on their grandfather Lou Bondi's legacy at this Norristown corner shop, where the Zep—salami, provolone, onions, tomato, oil, and oregano piled high—has drawn loyal crowds since 1941. Over 100 menu items line the board, but regulars know to order the namesake sandwich that made Lou's legendary across three generations. The homemade milkshakes are thick enough to demand a spoon.
