John's Roast Pork

Undoubtably one of Philly's top rated Cheesesteaks

14 Snyder Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148, USA

Look I'll be honest, the main reason for coming to Philly was to try cheesesteaks. So of course we had to try many. This was at the top of my list ever since watching the Buzzfeed Worth It Cheesesteak episode. This place was in the middle of no where but was busy, so we knew it would be good. We went for a OG provolone and onion cheesesteak as well as a Pepper Cheesesteak (which is the same as the OG + a mix of capsicum and stewed peppers), and of course we had to try some of their famous pork rolls. These were huge. Much bigger than Geno's but at the same price. There was so much more provolone cheese and filling to these rolls too. The cheese was melted through the steak perfectly. The roll itself was fantastic. It was more crisp on the bottom so it didn't go soggy. The pork roll had provolone and spinach on it as well as their roast pork. I didn't see for sure, but I think they dunked the whole sandwich in gravy because it was very moist. The first bite was to die for, but after the pork cooled a bit it became quite dry. But their cheesesteak game is seriously on point. This is the cheesesteak I would come back to Philly for.
