"Send your taste buds to the Northeast by devouring sandwiches popular in that part of the country. Hog Island offers a great Philly cheese steak, with melted cheese, shaved beef and grilled onions on a soft bun, and tasty hoagies featuring a variety of Italian cold cuts, such as mortadella and sopressata. Forks up. Cheap."
- Dale Rice, American-Statesman Restaurant Critic
"With that cheese steak and those Italian hoagies, you can be an armchair traveler, sending your taste buds to the Northeast while you remain firmly planted at Hog Island."

"At 11:59 on the dot, I was out the door and on my way to chicken parm heaven. Once I got there though, I realized that I was going to have to eat alone. What to do? Do I forsake the chicken parm due to my fear of eating alone? Do I take it to go and lose some of the delicious freshness of the sandwich?"

"The best subs in town. All their meats and cheeses are imported daily from Phila,NYC, and Italy. Best cheesesteak I've ever had outside of South Phila."
