Rockys Deli Style Restaurant

Came here yesterday because I was craving a hoagie. This is what you call a hole in the wall place. Sometimes the best food comes from the places without the fancy outdoor signs and decor, or fancy menus with all the special ingredients. Sometimes the best food comes from a mom and pop shop, with a few hardworking employees who just love to make food and make customers happy. The atmosphere in here was like a small town diner. There were many Philly sports memorabilia and pictures hanging on the wall. We enjoyed looking at the aerial view of the stadium complex back in 2003. Much has changed then. The service here was great. The lady working the register was also waiting on customers. There was one guy manning the grill. He prepared for us a very tasty grilled chicken Caesar salad and roast beef sandwich. I was very pleased with the presentation and the flavor. The fries were cooked just right. The perfect amount of crunch and crispy drizzled with some delicious cheese whiz. My husband and I look forward to coming back again. I hear the breakfast is really good. Looking forward to trying that and a cheesesteak!

Rocky's on E. Glenside Avenue is a dive breakfast joint that has been slinging hash for many decades in the old business section of town. It has tons of authentic atmosphere with counter service for three stools and five booths tucked in the rear of the store. Most customers appear to be regulars, and the staff is downhome friendly. I sat at the counter overlooking the grill, deep fryer and toasters. My mug O' joe was hot and strong and refilled upon request. The Challah French Toast was okay, but not much effort was put into placement on the plate, needing some reorganization before it could be buttered and syruped. Industrial corn sweetener (Smuckers) also downgraded the result. Taste was average at best, requiring more vanilla, cinnamon sugar in the egg mix to really bring up the flavor to where it should have been. The three strips of bacon were a decent side. Prices were as dated as the shop, making for affordable nostalgia. Rocky's is an eat and run joint, where you have to love the aging facility and folks that frequent it and call it home, to really appreciate what it has to offer. While I got all that and enjoyed the conversations, I couldn't help but notice how much more it could be with a little more effort. Add some TLC and a review of recipes, and this place could be terrific without changing the obvious charm and historic feel. Rocky's is old Philadelphia all the way!

Throw back place breath of fresh air owners been here for years and always make you feel welcome

Outstanding people with really good food. Never a bad experience. Highly recommend trying a multitude of things- and they got a nice little eating area inside to chill and hangout

Came here just to use their restroom really quick and leave. That was until I saw that they were rewarded with some of the best cheesesteaks in Philly. I knew I had to try some of their food and it did not disappoint! On top of that the people who run the shop are incredibly kind and thoughtful and made sure we were having a great meal. They also have pretty sweet decorations of photos throughout the history of Philly sports. Definitely come here if you're in Philly.

Friendly family owned for 40 years. Comfortable seating, comfortable staff, comfort food. Portions are large: the regular hoagie is the size of a large and the large is a family sized.A wonderful hole in the wall, classic old American Diner and I recommend the corned beef hoagie.

Wonderful consistency and such personal attention, Donna knows my name and is a delight!

The cheesesteaks are quite yummy. I ordered one at 10:30 in the morning. I got there 15 minutes later and it was waiting for me. The staff is very nice. I will go back.

Place is better than WAWA hands down. Family owned great place to get out of the cold and grab something hot to eat. Great food and service

Love this little spot in Glenside! I order breakfast sandwiches on the weekend and they are fantastic. Eggs aren't overdone, bacon is crispy, and they get the good rolls from the Conchy bakery. Staff is friendly, quick, and remembers your name if you're a regular.
