Editorial Review for John's Roast Pork – by Elisa Ludwig
In Short
John's opens at the crack of dawn to service the waterfront's working people, offering all manner of egg and meat sandwiches. The real magic happens at lunchtime: The namesake roast pork sandwich is juicy and peppery, sliced thin and served on a Kaiser roll with sharp prvolone, gravy soaking the roll. The cheese steak is nothing to sniff at, with a seeded roll crisply encasing perfectly seasoned beef and American cheese.

This is the place the local Philly people go that know good sandwiches. The cheesesteak, Italian pork and beef are the best sandwiches in town. If you are a tourist you can go see drunks and uniformed tourists at Pats and Geno's eating terrible quailty sandwiches because of hype and reputations that have long since past. Take a quick look, snap your pictures, and then get to John's to eat the best cheesesteak in Philly.
