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

Mike Winston

Their namesake Roast Pork is delicious, but the melty, cheesy, meaty Cheesesteak was absolute perfection. A serious contender for the best cheesesteak in Philly . WinstonWanders.com

Italian Roast Pork sandwich with sharp provolone and spinach . Your really can't go wrong with any sandwich here. I've been coming here since this place was the only thing in the area. Great spot !!

Behrad Eats

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

Albert Freeman

it’s all about the spicing & flavor of the pork here, combined with the hot peppers & a few pickles on the side. miss the traditional rabe but the rest is the best.

Emily Wilson

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 .

Cole Kennedy

That cheesesteak is so good. Seems like they use a thicker slice of beef than the other famous places. Maybe a little dry, I would order extra cheese or something next time. Onion rings also hit.

PureWow

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 . Read more

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 .

James C

The roast pork is all the hype and worth the trip. Super great taste and the size is outstanding. Great price totally worth the trip.

Paul S.

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 .

Usually only open for lunch during the week, John's recently announced Saturday hours starting next weekend. For your out-of-town friends, this is a must-stop to impress. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

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.

John Villacci

Did some research while traveling around Philly and was not disappointed. The roast pork Italiano is the closest thing to perfection I've ever had. Simple and unexpected. The best food in Philly.

Neal

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 !

Joshua Haftel

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.

Brendan Rastetter

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.

Philly.com

John's has long been a favorite of dock workers and contractors, but only recently has it gained mainstream recognition as one of the best purveyors of cheesesteaks in the City of Philadelphia. Read more

Russell Hirschorn

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+

Megan Filipp

If you're not trying to check off "Philly cheesesteak " from your list, get the roast pork with sharp provolone . It is amazing and totally worth passing on a cheesesteak ;)

Michael Haarala

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

Alex Tomasik

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

Corey Acri

Pork with sharp provolone and spinach is the best in the city .

Derrick Morgan

THE BEST place to eat. #1 Cheese Steak in Philly...hands down. Roast Pork is also the best you'll find anywhere. I've been eating here for over 10yrs. Hours make it tough to get there, but it's SOO wo

Elyse Estrada

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

Mario Tang

Best roast pork and spinach ...hands down ....need to experience it

Brad Graham

A great place for a cheesesteak , but John’s Roast Pork is more well-known for their mouth-watering roast pork sandwiches .

Dramane Brown

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

Janet LoFurno

The roast pork with sharp provolone is amazing!

Mike Chau

Try the Cheesesteak Sandwich - With American Cheese and fried onions . This might be the best I've ever had.

Aaron Wertlieb

I did not eat roast pork but that is the specialty. All is good. Top 3

Matthew Attwood

Roast pork sharp provolone and spinach with a long hot is a little piece of heaven on earth

G T

A little dive place but top notch roast pork sandwich

Terry Kammerer

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

Matthew Veasey

Sure, they have great pork sandwiches . But don't let the name fool you, this place has an awesome cheesesteak as well .

Lance Lacoff

A very underrated Philly cheesesteak and an outstanding roast pork

Bre Bonner

This place is a hidden gem . The sweet pepper cheesesteak is out of this world.

Jason Schaffer

Bring a friend so you can split a large roast pork and a cheesesteak for dessert .

Joe Petrellis

Cheesesteak , sharp provolone , and onions . Best in Philadelphia. Rolls are amazing and the steak is delicious.

RC

Forgo the cheesesteak and come for the namesake. There's a lot of better cheesesteaks in Philly .

Ricky Sherrill

Get the Roast Pork & the Cheesesteak .....it's better to get both than pick one.

Justin Berkey

You can't go wrong with the pork or roast beef sandwiches ! just don't forget the cheese and spinach !

John Harvey

Pork sandwich with spinach and extra sharp provolone is the best I've had.

Dina Rughani

Roast pork with provolone , spinach , and banana peppers

Tracy Root

There is nothing better than a roast pork sandwich with an ice cold rootbeer ! 'Cept maybe getting to John's on time to enjoy just that!

Scott Landau

By far the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Also, the sharp provolone and roast pork ...AMAZING

Romny Vasquez

The roast pork is great the only thing that it doesn't travel well , eat it as soon that you get it.

kathymon

Roast beef sandwich was sooo juicy!! Roast pork was good too with the pepper corns , but wish it was as juicy as the roast beef .

Leandro Lagera

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

Stephen Gualano
