Editorial Review for John's Roast Pork – by Elisa Ludwig
In Short
John's opens at the crack of dawn to service the waterfront's working people, offering all manner of egg and meat sandwiches. The real magic happens at lunchtime: The namesake roast pork sandwich is juicy and peppery, sliced thin and served on a Kaiser roll with sharp prvolone, gravy soaking the roll. The cheese steak is nothing to sniff at, with a seeded roll crisply encasing perfectly seasoned beef and American cheese.
