• Very unorganized ordering system. First stop is cheese steaks, second stop is roast pork. Both are phenom. Lots of people hanging around not waiting in line. Pork is immediate, steaks can take 20mins+

• The Cheese steak was awesome. Sadly, they don’t have whiz, which is the only thing missing

  by Dramane B.

  
  

• They have great streak and pork sandwiches. I actually like the pork sandwich better. Either way you can't go wrong... And be sure to stand in the right line.

• Roast pork was good but Dinics still my favorite

  by David A.

  
  

• The roast pork sandwich was good, no doubt... but their Philly cheesesteak with sharp provolone is fantastic. Granted it was my first cheesesteak ever, but still. Don't forget to add banana peppers.

• You come here for the namesake Roast Pork and you leave satisfied.

  by Behrad B.

  
  

• While they serve a solid roast pork, their cheesesteak is one of the best in Philly!

  by Behrad B.

  
  

• Although the roast pork is what this place is known for, get the philly cheesesteak with sharp provolone and onions instead. You won't regret it.

  by Dina Rughani

  
  

• The best OG cheesesteak in Philly - it might be a small restaurant, but it has big cheesesteaks (and big lines)

  by Michael D

  
  

• The much-adored Philly Cheesesteak is the second-best item on the menu after the restaurant’s namesake: the Roast Pork, which is seasoned and grilled with cheese and onions.

• Old school Philly Cheese Steak place. Good stuff but I don't like old school Philly cheese steak joints it seems

  by Leandro L.

  
  

• Don't be fooled by the nomenclature, the cheesesteak is the move here. Pay attention to the ordering signs, you will get yelled at.

  by Elyse E.

  
  

• A very underrated Philly cheesesteak and an outstanding roast pork

  by Lance L.

  by Loren W.

  
  

• Prepare to wait in line (separate lines for roast pork & cheesesteak!!) Sandwiches are huge & easily shareable esp if you're not starving. Don't be intimidated by the "way to order" your cheesesteak.

• I'm not sure it lived up to the expectation. Definitely get it (cheese steak) w sharp cheese. Good for ppl w fat aversion as it was not greasy at all (disappointed). Fries undercooked. Overpriced.

  by Frank

  
  

• Now open til 7pm. All around a great place. I'd give the roast pork edge to DeNics only slightly, but still my favorite cheesesteak in Philly. Cash only!

  by Neal

  
  

• From the grill or the stove, John's is a great stop for some great cheesesteaks and pork grinders.

  by Tony F.

  
  

• Even better than hype suggests it is. Roast pork with spinach and sharp provolone. Cheesesteak is solid (sesame seed bun). Cash only

  by Alex Tomasik

  
  

• Came here in search of a better cheesesteak, did not disappoint. The roast port is pretty different than a steak, but pretty tasty. The sharp prov is a nice touch, as are the long hots.

• Great cheesesteak, but obviously it's the juicy roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe that will make you want to venture into deep South Philly.

  by Brendan R.

• Been here twice. Once to have a cheesesteak and once to have a roast pork sandwich. Without the addition of the spinach, the roast pork would be average, and the cheesesteaks are not good. Meh.
