Broomall Bar's Sloppy Joe Wins 'Best Nostalgia' In Philly Mag

BROOMALL, PA — Philadelphia Magazine has released winners for its 2022 Best Of Philly awards, and a Broomall spot made the cut with its classic sandwich.

The list of winners for 2022 is extensive, with more than 250 restaurants, bars, services, retailers, and more earning the coveted distinction of being among Philly's best entities.

In the food and drink category, Broomall's Marple Public House got a nice shout-out.

The magazine gave the historic pub's Lunch Lady Sloppy Joe the "Best Nostalgia" award for 2022.

Here's what the magazine has to say about the classic sandwich:

School cafeterias and Manwich gave sloppy joes a bad name. The fact is, a good sloppy joe is pretty close to comfort-food heaven, so we were delighted to find one on the menu at Broomall’s very first bar, which just opened last summer after the township voted to dump its dry status. The house-made pickles and grilled potato bun take this sandwich up a notch. Note: It’s not on the regular menu. You have to ask for it by name.

Marple Public House is located at 31 N. Sproul Road in Broomall.
