Low-key Philly institution that most people from newer generations haven't heard of....major bummer in my opinion. This place has all the makings of legend and convenience - it's in a little quieter area with ample parking and straightforward food. I still have yet to get the fishcake and dog combo, but it's on the future agendas, and I already have a crew to bring from Pittsburgh. Pricing is awesome for 2025 and the folks behind the window are super fast and efficient. Will be coming here on repeat. read more

Very good, great staff, opened 20 min late but food was good. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amazing consistent food. Fasttttt. Definitely get the hot link, egg and cheese in the morning and regular hot link in the afternoon. Pepper hash is special. Long hots are a good addition. BLT was solid. Need to try more. read more

Johnny's Hots - Hot link, egg and cheese. - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Place is never open when they say they are. Have showed up 4 times during business hours to find them closed. Totally unreliable.

Johnny's Hots are known for their hot sausages. You can get a variety of hot sausage sandwiches. On one of my morning walks to Penn Treaty Park I decided to stop by and see for myself if the sausages lived up to the hype. I ordered a Sausage, egg & cheese. It comes on like a hoagie roll. I also saw a tasty looking apple danish and grabbed that too. I sat in the park to eat my meal. I am happy to report that the sausage lived up to the hype. It is just the right amount of hot, not overpowering. And It's very juicy. The sandwich was made with the perfect ratio of sausage to egg to cheese. I devoured it! It was soo good! The roll was slightly chewy, which makes me think it wasn't the freshest. The apple danish was a tasty treat I'm glad that I ordered to end my meal with. The big negative to Johnny's Hots is that it's a cash only business. That's ridiculous in 2022. You lose far more business than you save in fees when u don't accept credit cards. I rarely carry cash, so I can rarely stop here for those mouth watering sausages. Such a shame. read more

Ordered an egg and cheese and received this? How can any employee make that and serve it to a customer? I'm basically eating an empty bread roll. Second time getting breakfast here and have been disappointed both times. I'm all about supporting small businesses but that's insane to serve to someone read more

Staff is very friendly and kind. The prep area looks spotless. Quick and exact service! One of the few places that still serves fountain soda, a bonus for sure. Had a dog with brown mustard and kraut and it was perfect. The rolls were local made, perfectly fresh and extremely well made with a chewy inside and a firm crust. Hot dog was meaty with beefy flavor and had a good snap. Spicy brown had just the right amount of kick and the kraut had a fresh, sour tang that balanced it all out quite well. Literally the best hot dog presentation in the city. Can't wait to go again. Highest recommend! read more

Absolutely the best sandwiches in Philly! Johnny's has been around a long time. It's a fave spot of truck drivers, laborers, union workers and business people. The hot sausage is the best according to my husband. ( I don't eat hot sausage) He loves the hot sausage, egg and cheese. My son eats hot sausage with pepper hash. I love the fish cake sandwich with pepper hash! The fish cake has a soft filling and is deep fried to a nice crunchy exterior. It is delicious! What is pepper hash you ask? Well it's a Philly thing! It's chopped peppers, onions in a light vinegar sauce similar to cole slaw but without mayo. It gives the sandwich that little extra kick. Johnnys also does an award winning cheese steak, hot dogs and some other things. They have fountain sodas and tastykakes too. read more

Parking can be a challenge and they close kind of early but dang it's worth it. This place is awesome! Roast pork w/ rabe, the hots and definitely got to get the hot fries with whiz. Everything is good. Such a cool tiny spot. No tables to sit and eat at but cool little tables you can stand at and the people, what can you say it Philly. read more

A co-worker regularly gets sandwiches for our crew from here. It's always our favorite and we look forward to it! Yesterday, he went in and spent $90.00 for sandwiches, came back and we discovered the order was 2 sandwiches short. He went back this morning on his way to work and literally had to argue with the counter person and then the owner himself who informed him that he should have counted before he left. Maybe, but why wouldn't your counter person have made sure all sandwiches were put in the bags? Literally 2 sandwiches and our co-worker had to be the one to suggest maybe compromising on one sandwich which he grudingly agreed to, then said thank you very much, have a nice weekend, to the counter person who looked at him and said nothing. We love your sandwiches but this was just grossly unnecessary. Needless to say, we won't be getting sandwiches from there anymore. Do better. read more

Went to Penn treaty park and found this lil stand across the street. While breakfast had just ended, I figured a few lunch items would hold me over. Asked about making a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, and they said while they didn't have blue cheese, they would use sauce, cheese, and ranch to make it. Also tried the meatball sandwich with parm and long hots. The buffalo chicken hit the spot perfectly. The meatball park was cheesy and saucy, with good quality bread on both. Cash only, and you have to pay for most toppings, but it's a good option for the park if you need a quick bite. Average price for everything otherwise read more

Johnny's Hots is a classic Philly tradition. It opens at 4:30 am and serves up its sandwiches and other treats until the early afternoon. It's location on the Philadelphia waterfront across from Penn Treaty Park in Fishtown means there are always people driving by - including late night revelers who can take advantage of its middle-of-the-night opening hour. Johnny's Hots is takeout only so the pandemic has not affected it at all. And what to order here? .... well everything is quite good. But of course you have to go with their famous hot sausage. It reminds me of an Austrian wurst. Add some Pennsylvania pepper hash and long hots and you have one very tasty sandwich that shouldn't be missed if you are living in Philly. I also usually get a Philadelphia fish cake sandwich - not because they are my favorites - but because they are hard to find elsewhere and I want to support traditional Philly foods. Everyone has prob been to Johnny's Hots at one time or another. But if you haven't been. what are you waiting for? read more

So I saw an article the other day about how Johnny's Hots had PA's best hot dog and I just had to come try it myself. I've driven by and walked by this place tons of times whenever I'm heading to Penn Treaty but never stopped by until now. I went during breakfast hours so I got grabbed hot dog with ketchup and relish and also a scrapple egg and cheese because I can't pass up any scrapple opportunities. I wasn't disappointed! Scrapple was crispy on the outside and perfect amount of softness on the inside. The hot dog was pretty good too - especially the bun!!! Was it the best in PA? Not to me, but it certainly ain't bad! I'm definitely coming back to try a hot sausage and a cheesesteak paired with an artic splash! read more

Imagine a really good food truck, but it's a building with a four space parking lot and two windows. I used to get breakfast sandwiches there all the time when I worked in the neighborhood and loved them. It is not fancy, but that's the point. They only have outdoor seating, and it's more like standing at shallow aluminum bar screwed onto a support column or exterior wall. Apparently they're known for their fish sandwiches but I think the hot sausage and pepper sandwiches are the best. The service is about as friendly as you would expect from a vendor at a sports stadium or food truck. It's authentic Philly. The service is very down to earth. My out of town family enjoyed the extremely blue collar experience on a sunny fall day. There's a cute park across the street if you want to eat farther away from the road. Penn Treaty Park I think it's called. read more

Your order is ready by the time you put your money on the steel counter. Could you really ask for more?

Hot sausage, egg and cheese sandwich is a life altering breakfast. Kicking myself I didn't get a second for the ride home.

Still good after all these years. Crab cakes & hot sausage still delicious. But no longer inexpensive to eat. I gave up the crab fries because of crazy price and no more Arctic teas ;( read more

Can I give this place a 10 star? WOW!!! I've been going to this place of business for over 30 years, when the father had a shack on the Delaware river. Now, the son has a very nice place further north, near a casino, with an expanded menu which can't be beat. Though I haven't had everything on their menu, the items I have had are the absolute best!!! I now drive an hour to buy his raw hot sausages to take home and freeze to cook on my Blackstone flat top griddle. I can't pass up the opportunity to have a sandwich of the same(of course it's cooked) while I'm there. I have mine with raw onion and ketchup. I've had their fishcakes (I don't normally like fish), but these are to die for. Hot dogs are great too, and they offer combo meals as well. They serve breakfast sammies too. I can only say that I wish this place was closer to home. read more

Tasty tasty meat and mushrooms. Very crusty roll, I thought I was a soft roll guy but I may have been incorrect!! Meat had a great meat flavor but I would have liked more meat and a place to sit and eat. Lots of regulars getting big orders and one policeman, good signs. read more

Great stuff!! Been there for years and a known spot!! I just seen it in passing in Philly!! Said I need a hot sausage sandwich from this place!! Good eats!! Bring cash as they are cash only!! Don't want to get stuck using the atm in the front of the shop for a 3$ surcharges. My mistake!! Good eats though!! read more

Supporting the local family owned businesses during the pandemic still. Ordered a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a long roll with a side of long hots. Sandwich was cooked perfect with plenty of thinly sliced fresh pork roll and the freshest roll awesome. Long hots cooked on the grill were out of this world and tasty. Good to spot for all my fast food sandwiches and Johnny also makes a great cheese steak with good quality meats on the same fresh roll. If you never been there plan on stopping for breakfast or a lunch sandwich try a roast pork. If you want something different order a hot sausage, fish cake combo with pepper hash. One of the very few places with pepper hash. read more

Great food. Love the breakfast sandwiches!! This place is a must try! Never had a bad experience

My dad has been going here for years. Admittedly, I wasn't convinced it was anything special. Well, I was way off base on that. We stopped here after an early flight and picked up breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I will say, this is probably the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The hot sausage has just the right amount of heat, the egg was cooked to perfection, and the roll was fresh. The young man at the counter was also very kind! Will be back. read more

Been patronizing here for many years. I'm not a big menu explorer when it comes to Johnny's. My go to is a hot with wiz/raw onions/and the pepper hash. The flavors and textures with the spicy hot sausage , the warm cheese wiz along with the crunch from the raw onions and the coolness from the pepper hash makes my taste buds and senses tingle with enjoyment. Price is a little high at 6:50 for a hot dog (sausage) but it is damn good and the quick service is a big plus as well. Go get one!! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches. But for some strange reason, they have a problem putting the change in in a hand like mine. When a person drops the change, money or coins, just let it fall on the counter. If you can take my money then give it back the way it was given., Again great sandwiches read more

Awesome food. I had the sausage and fish cake combo and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back.

Best Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese sandwich you will ever eat. A regional gem for authentic Philly eats. I'll be back for a visit soon and I think about these sandwiches prior. You cannot get Taylor ham everywhere and people non-natives have no idea what they are missing. read more
