You've all heard the saying, "When in Rome..." Well my own personal saying is "When you live in Ardmore, buy in Ardmore..." No really sure if that makes any sense but you catch my drift. I'm all for the mom and pop establishments, the ones that have lasted years upon years and are being slowly outrun by larger more conglomerate type companies. J & G Deli, better known as J & G Lunchmeat Villa, is a favorite local spot of mine...Over stuffed, mouth watering hoagies made fresh on the spot; all kinds of homemade pasta to buy and pass off as your own (oops did I say that out loud?); all types of sandwiches made to order (my personal favorite is "The Sinatra" --try it; you'll like it...); anything you are looking for at more expensive Italian type markets, you'll definitely find here but at a cheaper price. They even make their own homemade red tomato pie...yum..(but if you are having a big party don't forget to order the pie well in advance). The people behind the counter are definitely the friendliest that I have ever encountered. Two thumbs up for J & G.!!! I promise you'll like it.

They have changed the name of the place from J & G to Chris's Sandwich Shop & Deli. They've built out the seating area so you can dine-in comfortably or take out. No waiter service, you order at the counter. It's bright and CLEAN and super fast and friendly. FOUR different styles of Italian hoagies plus many other choices and they were all delicious when we visited last weekend. Same bread - Sarcone's is my bet - and very generous with the meat portions. Definitely still my favorite, no matter what the name of the place!

Chris' is all about the sandwiches! They kill it in here. New menu is awesome. They really care that the sandwiches are the best quality meats and ingredients. Chris is usually here and the staff is friendly and fast. Nice place to sit and have a great sandwich.

There are places in life that just make you happy you are an American !! Chris' Sandwich Shop in Ardmore is one of those places. I stopped on a whim on my way back to DC where a good sandwich shop is hard to find. They think Subway is good down here!! Thank God Philly is only a couple hours north. Trust me I bring a cooler. Just a great corner shop with customer service that is amazing. I stayed for 30 minutes just talking. It was great. If it were not for the money and tons of jobs in DC I'd be back in Philadelphia in a second. Jason Blum "Chris Classic"

This place is great! Never have I received a bad sandwich or Hogie from here. One of the best hogie shops in the area. Try it you'll love it.

The reviews for this place were very accurate. The subs are excellent,full of meat, and they really get them out fast. The staff is very friendly. The only confusing thing is the array of choices for an Italian hoagie. So many choices, so I got one of each and then shared with the family. This may be my new go to place for hoagies! Have a daughter at college in the area, so I will be visiting a lot more often.

This deli is nothing special. Solid sandwiches but nowhere near paganos, p&s or centrellas which are in the area. I love their chicken salad. Just added seeded rolls to their repetoire.

I've been back here at least 5 times since. It's still the best hoagie I've had. I'm moving in a few months and will shed a tear not being able to walk a few blocks for a large classic Italian.

I think this sandwich shop has gotten even better since the last time I ate here! The Italian hoagie is fantastic. I considered ordering an extra for the road, but I am fairly certain I couldn't stuff a second sandwich in my body. The medium is an excellent size and I can't imagine the larger size. Do yourself a favor and eat a sandwich tonight.

Moving into our new house and I think the Italian hoagie saved my life. Happy to be living close. Just ate lunch from there again today. 2 days in a row!

Perfect hoagies and all around great deli. Don't know what people are talking about rude staff. They are amazing! My dad was sick and they asked about him every time i went in there. When he was well, I brought him into the store and they were all so happy to see him. Where do people treat you like that anymore? I know people miss the old place and it was there a long time but the new owners have done a great job!

Really want this place to succeed, They are attentive, customer service oriented, etc. Place is clean and bright. I had really high expectations. Sandwiches were fine. Didn't blow me away, but they were fine. I probably need to try it a few more times to get a better sense...

Delicious, finger licking good, and reasonably priced. Hoagies can feed a buffalo, so don't hesitate in coming down. I ate mine...it was great...but now I have trouble getting up as I am soooooo full.

This place was top dog when it came to Italian Specialties before Carlino's came into play. It is family owned and run by John (owner) Gary (his son) and sometimes his wife will be slinging out lottery tickets, or helping out in the back. Nice lady, good family and they treat every customer in there like they were a part of their own. Right there you know customer service is something they believe in. Their sandwich's are good in size, definitely better than Wawa, the freshness alone stands out there. It's a gonna be a good hoagie when you see and hear the hum of that slicer going. Slice after slice of those meats and cheeses in front of you, knowing it is there to soley satisfy your hunger. Not like other places that keep their meats and cheeses in a stainless steel dish, or a plastic dish. Those leave that taste of blah i guess, don't really know how to describe "blah " but I'm sure a facial expression explains "blah" better. I myself like to add roasted peppers , and long hots on any of their sandwich's.. just brings out the flavor even more. Now if you are a mayo fan, and want it on your sandwich , please don't do it. Adding mayo will just bastardize the whole experience. ***side note- I personally think the sandwich's could be bit bigger, more meat, pack it in there i say *** In all you will be pleased with any of the fine selections, and you will be treated like family when you visit.

Obviously this deli has been around for awhile... It just has an old feel (in a good way). You walk in and there's no confusion as to what they serve here. A few chips and soda refrigerators on the side, but all of the good stuff is behind the counter. I've been here a few times now and haven't had a disappointing lunch here. The specialties have been posted on the wall behind the counter and a menu is to the left of them. Any of their hoagies with a side of long hots is a decent break for lunch.

This Deli is Fantastic! They have been in the same location in Ardmore Forever. They make Delicious Hoagies the size of your Arm. Everything they use is quality! I like both their Tuna and Italian. If you ask for Hot Peppers they use Jalepenos instead of cherry peppers, which give it a little different flair.

Is just "nom nom nom," an acceptable review? We're purists, so we always roll with a large Italian and split it. J & G blows both Wawa and Primo's out of the water and I will never go anywhere else for hoagies when I'm on the Main Line!

The best place to get huge hoagies with all of the fixings. This place is the king of Sandwiches and really knows how to hook you up. you get the freshest ingredients, sharpest provolone, and the meats are piled high. My favorite is the "Dominik Diabla" - cooked hot with melted swiss, chicken breast, and whatever fixing you want. The hoagies are HUGE so you should be able to have your hunger satisfied with a medium or large hoagie. but super-sized options are available. it is also a pretty good marketplace.

I'm not sure what to say about J&G that hasn't already been said, but I'll try. Every sandwich I've gotten there has been absolutely delicious, and the place has a great family attitude. Prices are reasonable, and there's a good assortment of chips, snacks, and drinks (along with limited Italian groceries). It's definitely a local institution, and when your in Ardmore, one of the best places to get a sandwich. The only real competition in quality is Carlino's, which is only a couple hundred yards down the street. Note: Yelp shows it to be in the wrong place, I think it's actually at 373 W County Line. In any case it's right on the corner of County Line & Wynnewood Rd.
