"Oh My God... I get it." - Frank Reynolds…read more My whole interpretation of what Michelin start rated places prior to eating here were that they were typically bougie / pretentious / overpriced establishments. I've dined at a place back home and although it tasted pretty good it fell into the latter of these statements above. Dalessandro's , though, changed my mind. Even the most humblest of a Philly Cheesesteak could be awarded such an award. There is nothing bougie/pretentious/overpriced about this establishment, it's staff and/or it's food. I sat there a couple bites in pondering what else I should try next time on my visit. I had the Philly Cheeseteak with sweet peppers with white American on a seeded roll. I had a philly cheese steak at a separate location prior to here, and although it was great, Dalessandros had the right balance of meat to bread to dollar ratio. I was full but content. Full but not bloated.

Our experience here was especially delightful with an extended conversation with the owner Scott about the origin of Shay's, and his desire for this to be a safe place for everyone of all stripes to come and enjoy some Philadelphia hospitality and amazing food. It's clear this is a passion of his and he infuses that passion into every ounce of this place!

I walked in and was surprised how large the place was, there is a small area to order, but then there is a dining area with plenty of tables and chairs to eat your meal, although I was taking it to go.

I quickly got back to my room and unwrapped one of the most delicious and meaty and tasty cheesesteak I have ever had! My wife and I could've shared one they were so huge! Great choice in Center City!

It's really hard to pick a clear winner for cheesesteak sandwiches in Philadelphia. But for me, this is THE PLACE where you come for a roast pork sandwich. With that said, their cheesesteak sandwich is also one of the top handful around town. I think my first visit to John's was back in the late 90's after some average sandwiches at Pat's and Geno's. It was eye opening because now I did believe the hype about sandwiches in Philly. Since then, I have gone through all the big names in Philly, yet John's Roast Pork is still in my regular rotation. Few days ago, I stopped by for a couple sandwiches and it did not disappoint as usual. After all these years, two huge sandwiches were still under $30. The large cheesesteak with onions and cooper sharp was about $16, while the small roast pork sandwich with spinach and sharp provolone was $12. As for taste, the Cheesesteak (9/10) was incredible. Well seasoned beef mixed harmoniously with the onions and cooper sharp for a terrible bite. The sesame seed bread is a bit firmer than what you'll find at Angelo's or Delassandro's, but it's still great. I know the locals believe that the Roast Pork Sandwich (8/10) is the true Philly sandwich. However, it's not my thing necessarily, but their version is quite delicious. The fluffy hoagie is dunked into the pork au jus, which keeps the sandwich moist and juicy. The pork is yummy, especially paired with spinach and sharp provolone. I keep saying that I gotta get back here to try their meatballs and chicken steaks, but it's hard to go away from what you know are consistently awesome. Maybe next time.

If you're coming to Philly and want to try an iconic local sandwich, you NEED to put this place on your list. The Roast Pork sandwich was phenomenal. The pork was incredibly juicy, packed with flavour, and you could really taste the quality. The brine they use is fantastic, giving the meat so much flavour without taking away from the pork itself. Even the bun deserves some love because it was excellent and brought the whole sandwich together perfectly. You can tell there's a lot of care and attention to detail going into the food here. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks and really enjoyed those, too! Another highlight was getting to see the owner and briefly chat with him. He seemed like a genuinely great dude, and it was cool getting to meet someone behind a place that clearly takes so much pride in what they do. Overall, John's Roast Pork is an absolute MUST when visiting Philadelphia. The quality, flavour, and care that go into the food make it easy to understand why this place has such a legendary reputation. Honestly, if you're planning a Philly food trip, John's Roast Pork and Angelo's Pizzeria near the Italian Market are the two spots you absolutely cannot miss! Both lived up to the hype, and we're so glad we got to experience them for ourselves.

While it looks identical to the old cheesesteak game, there seems to be a decline in quality compared to Tony Luke's. The rolls are smaller in circumference making them appear overstuffed from jump. They're still more than I can devour in one sitting, so that doesn't matter too much. But, the last few had less moisture in the grilled meat, and thus were less juicy and less enjoyable to mange. I've heard that T&N is on the market. Given the devolution of quality (and quantity) the need to get out from under the nut and take away some profit is understandable. Three Beefy Stars for what has become an average steak sandwich at best. CORRECTION: Ownership responded to my review and it is only fair I acknowledge the factual points made. He says there is more meat now than before under previous management. I stand corrected. It had been a couple of years since my last steak there, and my impression was affected by my memory of that sandwich and those from a long time ago. I do not want to cause harm and wish best of luck in future endeavors.

The cheesesteak is large and in charge, and hands down the best in the area (North Burbs). Quality bread, quality meat and cooper sharp, with a side of wings. Add football and you have the makings of a quality Sunday afternoon. The place is busy, so if you're placing an order be prepared to wait, but rest assured the wait is worth it. Also, the place is on the small side and was packed when I was there, so if you plan to dine in, also be prepared to wait. Glad to have this place so close by. Definitely check it out.
