This Is PA's Best Breakfast Sandwich, New Ranking Says

PHILADELPHIA — When not just any breakfast sandwich will do, head to Gilda in Philadelphia.

It’s the home of The Antonio, which the food website Chowhound rates as the best breakfast sandwich in Pennsylvania.

The Antonio features a fried egg, cheese, a Linguiça Portuguese sausage patty, and sauce, all on a Portuguese roll.

Gilda overall has 4.9 stars based on 234 reviews.

"Absolutely unreal," one reviewer wrote. "Surpassed the hype. The Antonio breakfast sandwich was out of this world."

Another said The Antonio is among the "top breakfast sandwiches in life."

"The Antonio is a goated Philadelphia breakfast sandwich," one person said in their review.

To determine the best breakfast sandwich in every state, Chowhound looked at customer reviews on such sites as Yelp, TripAdvisor and Reddit, and narrowed the list down to restaurants whose breakfast sandwiches earned scores of at least 4.5 stars.

“In terms of the sandwiches themselves, we looked for key characteristics like freshness (no store-bought frozen breakfast sandwiches), the quality of the ingredients, and expert execution,” Chowhound said on the website. “Of course, great flavor was paramount.”
