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

My wife and I moved to Philly at the end of July and had our first cheesesteak experience here and it was wild. First, we didn't realize that it would be attached to The Home Depot. We walked in and the smell of sizzling meat as well as the aroma was intoxicating. There was some confusion with where to order despite there being signs that said "Order Here" and "Pay Here." We were fascinated by the massive rings of sausage and my wife made plenty of innuendos, making us crack up. All the while there was a mail man there talking to the chefs who gave him a ring of raw onion that he munched on.

When it was our turn to pay, the owner said, "Are you two married?" We chuckled and confirmed that fact. He then gave us free chips, which were amazing. We took our sandwiches out to the parking lot and ate on the curb. A better cheesesteak experience...

Heart Attack Warming! Cook oversalted everything and killed all flavors and seasoning. We ordered one jerk cheese steak & one sausage sandwich to go. Flavors seems good -- except the cheese steak was overly loaded with salt it felt sickening to eat and practically killed all the flavors.

The saugsage was less salty than the steak, but still a bit salty. If they fix these issues, I would not hesitate to recommend. But as is, I won't return and cannot recommend -- it's...

We asked a friend from Philly where we should get real (non-tourist trap lol) cheesesteaks, and he recommended Rocco's. He said it was in a Home Depot, but that that shouldn't put us off because they make the BEST cheesesteak and sausage sandwiches in Philly. I can't speak for anywhere else, but this place was incredible. We got regular cheesesteaks with peppers and onions, chips and we shared some hot and mild sausage. It was all cooked to perfection: tasty, flavorful and juicy. But that's not even the best part- the staff was so kind, personable, funny and they played with my cranky toddler to help make our experience even better. 10/10. If we're ever back in Philly, we're definitely headed back. Thanks to the crew- especially the guy with three young kids. I hope their sneakers fit for longer than the...
