Jennifer WuApril 24, 2015Get the wake up call and you won't regret it. It's a tasty combination. The hash browns with cheesesteak will leave your tastebuds coming back for more.

Great hoagies, (to New-Yorkers they are known as "subs"), casual fast food place, and cool atmosphere. Did you know that these folks also own a couple places nearby (pizza and grill).
Sabina B.December 15, 2014Best late night on the planet for years (or decades?) and pretty much a local landmark. This should be the first thing on your Princeton to-do list.
Best (and cheapest) sandwich place in town. The phat lady with hot sauce is especially scrumptious. Also, a whole here is much longer than the "foot long" Subway sandwiches.
David FernandezNovember 7, 2015All the sandwiches are good and if you're not looking for a sandwich, hoagie haven owns two other restaurants right next to it so check those out too!
Kyle ByeApril 2, 2016Ask for the Wake Up Call. It's a cheesesteak, topped with breakfast food (eggs, bacon, pork roll, and hashbrowns). It's greasy and delicious.
Hunter HastingsNovember 5, 2013Just get a cheesesteak. Best in the world. I recommend a small with double meat, lettuce, tomato, onion & 1/2 on the mayo.
George LeeJune 22, 2016Phat lady here is similar to rutgers fat sandwiches in New Brunswick but with superior bread.
- Brendan RastetterAugust 29, 2014My ex-bf and I wandered in here and ordered the Heart Stop and the Mac Daddy sandwiches to go. We got drunk and then dug in. It was the best kind of mistake.
- Noah DellaPietroOctober 14, 2015hands-down the best sandwich place i've ever been to. at anytime of the day, the Wake Up Call is incredible
Mitchell EssweinOctober 22, 2012Get the Sanchez: Chicken fingers, fried mozzarella sticks, french fries, cheese, and chipotle mayo. I would like to try it with hot sauce in place of the chipotle mayo.
A sandwich is only as good as the bread it’s on. The bogies here are all elevated by the crisp, ethereal goodness that is their bread.
Aditya MApril 7, 2012Get the chicken parm ... with every thing on it. Your taste buds will be getting orgasms for the 3 to 4 minutes it takes you to finish that hoagie.
Francesco BleveAugust 17, 2014This place is a must if you live here or just pass by! Amazing. Check out the Phat Lady sandwich!
Klaudia CemborJanuary 18, 2015Wow wow wow! An orgasm in your mouth kind of good! A must eat while in Princeton!- Lance LacoffMarch 3, 2015Creative and fattening tasty hot hoagies are the specialty. The Sanchez didn't disappoint.
MaxAugust 25, 2013The dirty sanchez and the phat lady are both amazing. You can try both either are great.
Rosalina MorelMay 10, 2014Great Sanchez and their cheese fries (provolone) w/salt pepper ketchup my order everytime fattening meal but delish...
WanderlustMarch 12, 2016Always packed, large serving sizes, & open late. It's a great Princeton staple!
Cash only. Buffalo Fries with extra hot sauce. Phat Lady with hot Sauce. Mexican Coke. These are my recommendations.
Look for my pic on the wall ;) buffalo chicken cheesesteak is the way to go!
Cat TierneyJune 3, 2013My favorite? Just a classic cheese steak hoagie with lettuce, onions, ketchup and mayo. The best!
NathanJanuary 21, 2015If you're getting the Mac Daddy, just know that you're in for a serious food coma.
Call in your order 10-15 minutes ahead of time, that way you can skip the line.
- The Middle Finger? Grilled cheese, chicken cutlet, pepperoni, honey mustard!
Mark Neurohr-PierpaoliNovember 15, 2013Try the Bacon Cheesesteak - Bacon Cheesesteak on a #Princeton field trip @ Hoagie Haven
A Princeton institution in its own right, everything is great, but I come for the Souvlaki, their Greek Special.
Gustavo agueroApril 2, 2013You will be a more productive US Citizen if you try their Buffalo Chicken steak! Muy rico!
What's not to love? My favorite is the bloc- chicken parmesan with eggs and bacon.
local landmark. if you've got some extra cash spring for the t-shirt...it's an international relic. just look at the wall...
Pete CharetteJuly 20, 2010Phat Lady, is a great sandwich. But if you can't handle the size I would go with the bacon burgers which are fantastic as well. Read more- The Heart Stop is an excellent breakfast. Doctor approved (I'd assume).
Almost got stabbed by a kid here he got mad hopped the counter and grabed one of their knives , good think workers tackled him and the cops were across the street- New discovery: buffalo fries, with some chicken added in. Superb!
Alan GrahamSeptember 17, 2010Order hot dog with mustard, relish, mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, and oil & vinegar and get a small delicious meal for $1.50
With many great options, you can't go wrong with the traditional Philly steak sandwich. Go with cheese if that's your thing.
- Pete CharetteJuly 20, 2010Get a Phat Lady or my personal favorite is a bacon cheese burger w/ lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, salt and pepper, and ketchup
