I had the pleasure of eating my first and only roast pork sandwich from John's earlier this year while visiting my brother in Philly. I can say, with ZERO hesitation, that it was the best sandwich I've ever had. As Lucas points out, there is a lot going on - the degree and complexity of flavor is unexpected and explosive. If you're a first timer, as I was, I recommend the following configuration: roast pork, spinach, SHARP provolone, and long hots. Also, be aware when you arrive that there are two separate lines, depending on what you're ordering.

A friend of ours goes to the Philly football games and brought us back a pork sandwich from John's. FANTASTIC! We're 3 hrs west of Philly so I need a knock off recipe. I know it won't be the same but I'd settle for CLOSE. Either that or I'll have to beat the owner with a wet noodle to get that spice combination. lol Therein lies the secret to this great sandwich. Fabulous video! :o)

Its funny how these reviewers never seem to know that most if not all locals always add ketchup to a cheese steak. Imagine if that roast pork didnt have that au jus. To a local, roast pork without au jus in essence would be like a cheesesteak without ketchup. Next cheesesteak add some fn ketchup!

I live in kentucky, wife went here on a business trip, i hear its the best of both worlds, and she tried several, dinics, cosmis, pats, genos, tony lukes, although she did like tony lukes cheesesteak with the whiz, but she prefers the spinach over the broccoli rabe on the pork roast

The best roast pork is at Dinic's at Reading Terminal Market, served with broccoli rabe, not spinach. The rabe adds a lot to the sandwich and I think spinach is just too muted a flavor for such a sandwich. Tourists, please try it with the rabe.

Actually you are kind of getting prime rib in a cheesesteak. That's because any self-respecting Cheesesteak place will use ribeye steak which is the same cut of meat from where you get your prime rib. Please learn something

I finally tried the sandwich. Its good but definitely not worth the hype. You can try the sandwich at least once but its not worth the repeat. unless you live in the neighborhood and simply want a pork sandwich

1. Im so happy that you didnt get Cheez Whiz on that steak. Thank you! 2. Interviewing a guy in a Patriots shirt at Johns Roast Pork. At least he seemed honest and complimentary!
