Johnny’s Hots

I love this place. Food, service, location… outstanding. It’s a wonderful place, operated by cool people who make awesome sandwiches. It’s definitely not to be missed.
Observation: Orders are usually completed in the order they were placed. If you order and there are other people standing around waiting who have all obviously ordered before you — why hover at the pick up window expecting the next sandwich to be yours?
Frickin’ wackadoos.

Stopped in again for lunch Friday. Hot sausage was good as always. Tried the fries for the first time. Probably some of the best I had. They were typical frozen crinkle cut but very flavorful! Not sure what oil try fried in but they were tasty! Counter girls very friendly as well. I’ll be back.

This is a long standing Crave location. Can’t get this food anywhere but here. The Philly Combo, a hot dog or hot sausage with a fried fish cake stuffed in the roll is a must-​have! Folks, it seems so simple, but believe me when I tell you you cannot make this at home. It won’t taste the same.

Red Hot was sloppy good! Food stands are always fun and while traveling its always great to get a little local flavor.

This place is great I recommend trying the cheeseburger with bacon. I recommend getting there early they close early during the week and even earlier on the weekends and closed on Sundays. Totally worth it. Everybody recommend the pork roll with cheese but it’s a little salty, the bacon cheeseburger is definitely the best and they know me by name by now.

It is rare that I am amazed, but wow is this place good! I would compare this to the first time you have sex, smoke crack or win the lottery. I had the hot sausage/​Fishcake with onions, hash and spicy mustard. It was instant euphoria. I almost wish I never came here because I will never be able to eat another hot sausage from anywhere else again. Like a dope fiend loves the needle, I fell in love today.

The hot dogs are great, freshly griddled, and the hot dog-​fish cake combo is a must-​have, even if you think it’s odd, it is surprisingly delicious, especially with Johnny’s homemade pepper hash. Philly old school at its best. But the stealth sammies here are the excellent huge roast pork and roast beef sandwiches. Two of the very best versions in the city.

This little Hot Sausage stand, sells the best hot sausage sandwich period! They have a little kick to them so if your a wuss these aren’t for you! Also their spicy fries will leave tears in your eyes because they are really hot! I can’t drive by this place without stopping. There is always a line but the workers are fast I’ve never waited more then 5 minutes for my hot sausage and fries! Same great quality for years. Hopefully they don’t ever close, if anything they should expand.

I think the hot sausage fish cake combo is still kicking around my stomach from a week ago.
While Philly is known for the cheese steak and roast pork sandwich, the wiser choice is hunting down Johnny Hots, where you can not only get the above, but get atleast the fish cake sandwich… adding the hot sausage will only make it better.
My life changed on Monday when i was taken to Johnny Hots. Let it change yours too.

Stopped in for the fist time today after a recommendation. I got the roast pork with spinach and it was great. They told me i had to come back for the hot sausage. I figured why wait. I ordered one and they did not disappoint. So after 2 sandwiches I’m off for a nap, full and happy.

Few years ago i had a big project in fishtown, and stumbled on this place. Spent a few months grabbing breakfast and lunch here, and it is one of my favorites now. occasionally, I’ll go out of the way just to grab something usually a cheesesteak w/​sharp prov. Awsome place, clean, good staff, just all around well run place!!!

I went there for breakfast and was not impressed. I ordered a pork roll egg and cheese, it was ok. I was excited when reading the reviews and finally thought I found a good breakfast place in Philly. It was not terrible. They offer toppings such as spinach and broccoli rabe which is a nice addition for your sandwich. I would probably go back, but I still hope to find that perfect breakfast sandwich spot in Philly!

Have to try there hot sausage with just sauce its out of this world. No one does hot sausage like Johnny Hots. Even there sausage, egg and cheese on long roll are good to.

I am in love with this place. It’s simple but always prepared really, really well. Hot off the grill and fresh at all times. Hot sausage with whiz and onions is my favorite. I need to get there early enough to try breakfast one day!

My husband is in love and it’s not with me. He’s moved onto another. Her name is Johnny Hots. If you see him, tell him we miss him but we understand. Those sandwiches are good.

I’ve tried this place twice after my boyfriends incessant praise of it.
I hate it.
The first time, I got hot sausage, long hot peppers, and egg on a long roll. It was gross.
The second time, I tried something a little more my style, eggs with roasted reds and provolone. It came on a round roll. I took one bite and made a face. I thought, «why do I just taste egg yolk?» I looked and realized the eggs were FRIED* and broken. That’s the way they do them, apparently. I couldn’t stand more than two bites. The rolls aren’t even good.
*I capitalized fried so you would know… fried, fried. Dripping with grease.

mmm one of my favorite places to eat, everytime I go towards Philly before 330 I make it a point to stop in for my favorite bacon cheeseburger. Mike cb, k

So, so delicious.
I had a pork roll sandwich from Johnny’s the other day and it was really excellent. It was a pretty big sandwich for around four bucks. The pork roll was sliced thinly, which I hadn’t seen before but really really liked. It was perfectly griddled with a little of that wonderful porky caramelization that I always look for, the roll was fresh and the cheese perfectly melted.
Service was really quick, but not rude or rushed like many similar establishments. All of the employees I encountered were very pleasant and seemed very happy. It’s my understanding that this is family-​owned and operated as well, which is a huge plus for me. Someone told me recently that the chicken cheesesteak is excellent there as well, so I’ll have to try that next time.

Back again. No matter where else I go I still crave Johnny’s cheese steaks the most. Their cheese fries are pretty excellent as well, as is their fish cake combo. Something about a paper carton of iced tea makes the experience complete.
I cant say enough about their hot sausage, egg and cheese. Every time I eat one it reminds me of making them home with my dad, only Johnnhy’s hot sausages are better than the ones I use.
Service is FAST!

My experience at Johnny Hots: I pull up to a tiny little stand off Delaware ave. It’s populate with a bunch of guys standing around, mostly cops and construction workers, and a few people who have walked over from nearby. The menu has several sandwich options, but everyone seems to be ordering cheesesteaks and «the combo.» I ordered the combo, a hot sausage topped with fishcakes on a white roll. I also got onions, long hots, and spicy mustard. My sandwich came out lightening fast, it was waiting for me even before I could put my change in my wallet.
The sandwich was good, and I scarfed it down pretty quickly. I didn’t love the combination of sausage and fish cakes. The fish cakes have an okay taste, and the texture of scrapple. I did like the sausage, but nothing was amazing here.
Bottom Line: It’s a good place, but not amazing. If I remember correctly, the hours are only breakfast and lunch during the week, and that makes it hard to eat here. The whole operation is really quick in and out, and it’s proximity to 95 could make it a good stop if you needed to grab something before hopping on.
