"The 10 Best Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia: John's Roast Pork - The sandwiches are big and hearty, less refined than most, and most cheesesteaks aren't refined at all."

Dan Myers

"It is essentially a perfect cheesesteak. It starts with a soft and crusty seeded roll which has some of its insides scooped out before being loaded with a full 12 ounces of thin-sliced loin tail."

"A small shack amidst shopping plazas, John’s Roast Pork is perennially cited as one of the city’s top steak spots and it gets our nod for #1. Its secret weapon? A crusty seeded roll."

Sharon Rigney

"You be the judge, and try a delicious cheesesteak complete with sides and a beverage and see what you think."

Danya Henninger

"Seeded Sarcone’s rolls are one thing that sets apart this stand-alone shack tucked into the industrial/shopping complex on the eastern edge of South Philly, and so are griddle-charred meat and the perfect amount of cheese (no Whiz, here, by the way)."

Niki Achitoff-Gray

"The fresh-sliced meat is chopped on the flat-top, and the provolone is powerfully sharp, a great complement to the tender shards of meat."
