John's Roast Pork Restaurant ·$$

Known for its Ultimate Cheese steak; John's Roast Pork has been in business since 1930's. It is a favorite among the people of Philadelphia. Not for the health conscious; this eatery has been serving cheese steaks for over 70 years. The food is homemade, with a special flavoring used to season it. It was awarded with 'James Beard Foundation Award for Culinary Excellence' in 2006. A must order here is the namesake sandwich (a favorite among the locals), The Hoagies are simply sumptuous and worth a try too. Get there early so that you're not disappointed.

The sandwiches were massive and packed with meat. The meat was super tender and juicy in both sandwiches. I definitely prefer the cheesesteak over the roast pork. You must visit this Philly...
