The
tradition of Shank's dates back to 1962 when Shank's and
Evelyn's ("Shank's") opened its doors to the
Italian Market near 10th and Catherine Streets. Shank's,
known best for its Giambotti, hearty soups, steak
sandwiches, roast beef, pork, meatballs, chicken cutlet
sandwiches and Italian greens, became an Italian Market
tradition. Zagat rated Shank's year after year for
"the best sandwiches in the world." Movie Stars,
Politicians, Dignitaries and food lovers from around the
world frequented Shank's for nearly a half century making
the luncheonette famous for excellence in authentic
Italian food with no nonsense service.
Born from a desire to make a difference, and to maintain
and reinvent an Italian tradition, every detail of Shank's
Original will continuously be evaluated and refined toward
the goals of authenticity and excellence.

"Don't ever
$%#@# change!" is the war cry of
"characters" who frequent this
"hole-in-the-wall" South Philly luncheonette
for the "great Italian home cooking,"
especially the "best sandwiches in the world";
the seats are "few and far between", and the
setting brims with "attitude" (be prepared to
be "yelled at" by the folks behind the
counter.)
