Rocco's Italian Sausages & Cheese Steaks — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Where to start? Well I have been to Home Depot on Castor Ave many times to get certain items and Rocco's has been outside for many years, I've always passed and can smell the caramelized onions, oh those wonderful onions, but I never stopped there for a sandwich.....until this evening. I walk to the window and notice about 3 or 4 whole spirals of both sweet and hot Italian sausages all nice and brown keeping warm on the griddle. The young man behind said griddle says to me "Would you like to try a piece?" Then proceeds to put a nice chunk, not piece, not nugget....CHUNK of sausage right under my nose. Now how do you say no to that, I eat this honking chunk of goodness and I'm immediately hooked. He asks what I would like. I order the 12 inch sweet with caramelized onions and sweet pepper and the person I was with ordered the hot with the same topping. Holy moley, the young man lopped a longer than the roll piece of sausage off of one of the spirals warming on this griddle then proceeds to lop off another piece almost half as long and manages to stuff it into this long roll he then put the onions and peppers on and then asks, "Would like more?" Yes, please! "More?" Yes. "More?" Yes. Well talk about a pile of this goodness on top of the great tasting sausage I couldn't believe it. I got this monstrosity home it weighed over a pound. It was double wrapped because it was so big, and the taste? Well let's just say I have a new favorite place to go when I get a hankering for a sweet with peppers and onions. You'd think that with all of the onions and pepper piled on it would overwhelm the sausage.....no, just no, it was incredible, it was an experience and I ate the whole damn thing in one sitting, as far as the other person I went with, not only did they love thier sandwich, they only got through 1/2 of it. Now while I fall into a food coma, I will happily tell anyone to go to Rocco's if you want to experience a real Italian...

Out of this, I don't care for any free food given by the establishment. I've been given way too much free food from that place because of the amount of trouble it is ordering from that place.

Infront of me is a hot italian sausage sandwich from Rocco's, not a huge fan of the hot sausage so I usually go for mild. I wasn't the one who picked it up so I had no way of knowing what it was until my father got back with the food. Every time I go to that place, they mess the order up. Literally, you could order one thing, lets say it's a sausage egg and cheese, and they'll give you a veggie portabella. Please train your workers. You may be saving money but you'll surely lose business without it. Best of luck, your food is amazing. I just wish I could enjoy the...

Went to Home Depot yesterday with my son and he suggested your place for lunch . We got the Rocco's Special, two bottles of water to go. While waiting the gentleman who took the order gave me two pieces of sausage to try. I ate mine and was surprised how delicious it was. The Rocco's Special was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. When ever I go to Philly to see my son I'm going to Rocco's even if we don't need anything from Home Depot. Also I asked him where they got their sausage, he told me but I don't remember. Would you send me the name and address of the market that you get the sausage from. I really didn't want a hot sandwich for lunch but I'm glad I did....
