I've been meaning to check this place out for a while now and I wish I had better news. Pop's is pretty hard to miss. The giant triangular building has been serving up Philly's 24/7 for years now and has become a local favorite. Pop's exudes that hole in the wall atmosphere and really belongs on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Yes the Ben Franklin mural has seen better days but for me this mildly grimey look just adds to the experience. There is no in door seating just the outdoor patio so dress accordingly. They menu is pretty big, tons of philly variations along with plenty of deep friend snacks and TastyKakes (you get a free one on your birthday!) I am sure the guys here can produce a edible work of art with the cheez wiz but I was a little disappointed in what I got. My bacon philly and a bottle of water came out to twelve bucks; for the price I expected more. The philly was surprisingly dry and lacking flavor. Normally adding bacon to any dish is an improvement but here it just added a rubbery textured ingredient to otherwise soft sandwich. The hoagie looked great at first but became soggy and fell apart as it soaked up the grease. I've heard rumors that the place was sold a few years back had hasn't been the same since. I might have ordered the wrong thing or just been there on a off day so I am willing to give the place another shot. Perhaps until next time.
