Nothing says delicious food like a local hole-in-the-wall eatery.
While their no-frills, unassuming nature may have you second guessing a dining experience, these spots serve up some of the best food in the state and are often loved by natives and tourists alike.
Be it a signature menu item that put it on the map decades ago, or an entire list of meal options that regulars cannot stop raving about and newcomers can't get enough of, something about this eatery gives it the reputation of being the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in all of Pennsylvania, and one of the best in America.
According to a list compiled by Tasting Table, the absolute best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Pennsylvania is John's Roast Pork in Philadelphia. This modest masterpiece is loved across the state for their delicious food and humble ambiance.
Here's what Taste Table had to say about the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the entire state:
"John's Roast Pork might earn a passing glance as you're heading to dine at the IHOP across the street, but it deserves so much more. Cancel your pancake plans and opt for one of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's favorite cheesesteaks instead. It's a tiny eatery with minimal indoor seating and often long wait times. Take that as a good sign; if locals think its food is worth waiting for, so should you. Try either a cheesesteak or a roast pork sandwich when you visit, as customers say both are delicious."
