Got the roast pork with broccoli rabe - it was fine, but definitely do not quite understand the hype behind this sandwich. Perhaps it's a bit of an acquired taste...for my money, would much rather have a cheese

Went there at 9:00 am to order the pork sandwich people are raving about. Had it with greens. Not sure why what hype is about but I found it to be tasteless but thankful for the added greens, it made it less dry. I can say I tried it but unlikely to order again. There are so many other food choices in Reading Terminal.

A staple in the Reading Terminal market, so I had to give it a try. Roast Pork Sandwich with peppers - The sandwich came with some thickly wrapped butchers paper. Thinly cut roast pork was kinda dry by them self, but it got better as you make your way down the sandwich. Loads of sauce, soup? Was slowly making its way down the sandwich, thankfully for the abundance for paper there was not too much drippage. Would recommend opening it up and eating it on a table.

Excellent sandwich stand in the Reading Market known for its roast pork sandwiches. They didn’t disappoint - get it with provolone, broccoli rabe, and peppers. Admittedly it was a touch dry in spots and could have used more au jus, but the wet spots were amazing.
Worth the hype. Closed on Sundays!! Roast pork with sharp provolone and greens (broccoli rab/ spinach) covered in a ladle of garlic au jus. Maybe the best sandwich in Philly?

Juicy, tender pork. It was so delicious (and I'm not a fan of pork so that says a lot). The staff were friendly.
Great ambiance, it does have the help of the Reading Terminal with that. The service is what you'd expect from a place in Philly, know what you want when you order or you're going to get the eye roll. Seriously, a menu is right in front of you. The roll is perfect, as expected since it's Philly, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The issue was the seasoning, there wasn't any. No salt, no garlic (not even in the greens) and the sweet peppers were bland and mushy. Not what I remember, maybe an off day for them, I would recommend giving it a try if you want a sandwich that's not a Philly cheesesteak. I'll give it another shot when I'm back in town.

love it! its among the first places I go to when visiting Philly best sandwiches I've ever eaten! Better then the traditional cheese steak!

This is by far my go to place when in downtown Philly at lunchtime. My go to is the sliced pork sandwich. Worth every penny. Only caveat is the last time I was there is they no longer let you eat at the bar. Everything is now to go. So ambiance is a zero and service doesn't exist. It's order and go.

Most hyped tourist locations tend to disappoint when you actually try them, but this one hits the mark without any hint of a let-down.They're "famous" for their pork sandwich and it is basically the best incarnation of this type of sandwich you'll get anywhere. It's a marinated pork shoulder sliced thickly, loaded into an italian roll, mixed with fresh green broccoli rabe and provolone. At least that's how I order it!It is just plainly simple but absolutely delicious. And it's singularly unique as a Philadelphia staple, appropriately located in maybe the busiest inner-city farmer's market on the East Coast. Just go there, wait in line, order this sandwich and enjoy it. It's that simple; you don't need to overthink it. The sandwich is approximately $15, give or take, based on toppings you order, and it's difficult to think of a better way to spend just $15 on food that will be more satisfying than this sandwich.

Delicious hot sandwiches and quick service! There’s always a decent line but the staff are friendly and they’re so efficient, you never have to wait too long. Love the pulled pork, roast pork and roast beef, all with the sharp provolone and peppers. Definitely a must-have whenever we’re at RTM!
