Shank's Original Uptown

120 S 15th St, between Chestnut & Sansom; 215.629.1093

When it comes to local tradition, Philadelphians typically
don't take kindly to change, as evidenced by the backlash
that erupted when the Mummers were re-routed to Market St,
and the riots that ensued when the Phillies won the World
Series. Striking a respectful balance between modernization
and heritage, Shank's Original Uptown.

After 48 years serving legendary breakfasts and sandwiches
out of a South Philly luncheonette/local landmark, the
surviving owner of Shank's & Evelyn's sold the biz to a
local franchiser, who moved operations to a narrow Center
City storefront, while still honoring Shank's legacy via a
menu loaded with old favorites prepared on an open grill
line helmed by the original owners' daughter and kitchen
manager, all against a familiar backdrop: a wall jam-packed
with framed, autographed photos of happily stuffed celebrity
customers, from Bill Cosby, to Frank Sinatra, to Mark
Wahlberg, and that's the joke. Sandwiches served on fresh
hoagie rolls dominate, from the Original World Famous
Chicken Cutlet, pan-fried and served Parmigiana or Italiano
(broccoli rabe & sharp provolone), homemade meatball, and
hot or sweet Italian sausage & peppers, to One-of-a-Kind
Eggplant w/ greens & homemade red gravy, and slow-cooked hot
roast pork, which you don't want to hear your mom order.
Half-pound Angus burgers (topped w/ bacon or pizza sauce &
mozzarella) share grill space with sirloin strips for
cheesesteaks and balsamic chicken served w/ roasted peppers
on a wheat bun, plus there're sliced-to-order hoagies like
the Old School Italian and the grilled ham, salami, bologna,
turkey, & cheese Uptown Shanker, which is how Billy Joel
sings the song these days.

Again honoring the original, Shank's Uptown serves breakfast
all day, from egg sandwiches w/ bacon, ham, peppers,
potatoes, or homemade Italian sausage, to the behemoth
Giambotti: a six-egg omelet packed with 12 meats & veggies
and intended for "a party of four or a hungry party of two"
-- but as you wouldn't want to upset Philly's rich fatness
tradition, it's just about perfect for a hungry party of you.

Open weekdays 10:30am-6pm -- peep the menu here:
