I consider myself a bit of a foodie, so when the opportunity arises to try what has been coined as "America's Best Sandwich", I will not pass it up. I had the pork sandwich with provolone and broccoli rabe. It was okay, but not fantastic. I think it was a little dry and needed salt, perhaps another dip in the... More

The roast pork sandwich is a great alternative to the typical Philly Cheesesteak. It's served on a hoagie bun and is roasted pork, topped with sharp provolone and greens. Absolutely delicious. Sandwiches run between 8-12$ and are well worth it.

For years a trip to Philly always consisted of a stop at Pats for some cheesesteaks and roast pork from Tony Luke's. Now its only a straight line to the Reading Terminal market for a roast pork sandwich with provolone and broccoli rabe. My goodness is this a good sandwich. Expect a line especially all weekend. Just find the back... More

I enjoyed the Italian pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone. It was amazing! If I lived in Philly I would eat one everyday. The Reading Terminal Market provided a great setting for lunch and an amazing sandwich.

This place is the best, no wonder it was rated the best sandwich in the USA. I was here twice in 3 weeks for travel, and if I was in 50 miles , would drive for a Pork Sandwich. The sandwich was so tasty and moist, broccli rabe and provalone, to die for. My buddy and I split a Roast... More

The line goes around the restaurant but it moves fast and it is worth the wait. Try the pork sandwich. Amazing.

Oh dear. I don't want to be mean, they seemed nice people, but really? Why all the amazing reviews? I'm truly puzzled. If I didn't know better I'd think I'd ended up at the wrong place. I had the roast pork sandwich and was very disapointed. There was hardly any flavour (how can you even achieve that with roast pork?)... More
