SLACK'S HOAGIE SHACK
***The Snyder Ave. location reviewed below is now closed***
Don't be fooled by the exterior, this dingy-looking take-out joint has freaking amazing hoagies! Slack's is a local chain with an awesomely extensive selection of hoagies, sandwiches, burgers and dogs, steaks, wings and salads. A "half" sandwich is about 12" long and overflowing with inside goodies. Not as great were their speciality "teezers," cheese-filled tater tots, served, strangely, with salsa. There's only one vegetarian hoagie served hot or cold, but for the meat lovers, there are 14 varieties of 'steak, 7 varieties of hot dogs as well as tons of specialty sandwiches.
One of their best deals could be the 100 wings for $33.99 - great for Eagles parties! Picky's polished off 50 in one sitting, but not the Slack's variety. Picky's favorite is a half Italian Deluxe hoagie which is overstuffed with Genoa salami, peppered ham, cooked salami, extra capicola, plain ham and extra provolone cheese, at $6.15, a steal. There's one weird thing about this place, though: there are always cops here.

The final word: We'd go back in a second!

Hey saw your write up on Slack's Hoagie Shack, you should go into the one in port richmond. You are right they have great hoagies but i also love their cheese steaks.

Slack's Hoagie Shack is the best and I found out why cops are always there. THe store offers them a discount.

I love slack's. The Godfather Hoagie is great and I think they are the most under rated cheese steak place in the city.
