Very very friendly and quick service. The waitress Donna went out of her way to ask my name and where I'm from and share a little bit about herself. The cook also checked up on me to see how my sandwich was. I ordered a turkey club and it was ready in less than 5 minutes!

We dropped the car off around the corner and searched for a place for breakfast. Rocky's did not disappoint! The food, the service and the price were great. We would go back again!

I've only been here for breakfast. It is very low key type of place. You walk in and sit down and the owner will recognize you eventually or a waitress if one is on. The location is decorated with old sports memorabelia items. You are talking about free give away type of items from the 80's or 90's. So the inside is not especially pleasing, kind of a run down deli type of look. The breakfast food is good. I have had no complaints and it is fairly cheap. If you want a type of place where you show up in the morning and get a friendly service, cheap prices and food cooked to order this is a place to try. Just do not expect any type of bells or whistles to this little place on Glenside Avenue.

Hoagie Shmokes!! Hot damn this deli makes the best damn hoagies EVER!! Being that I'm pregnant and can't have deli meat I had to opt for the tuna hoagie, that wouldn't of been my first choice that's for sure but I did enjoy it so much that I ate the whole damn thing! I would of gone for something Italian with some oil on it in a heartbeat but couldn't! That didn't stop me from from taking a nibble and I mean just one little nibble of my husbands Italian OMG just one bite and I was in love! I crave that damn delish hoagie everyday of my life and have many days until my pregnancy is over and also live on the west coast so its gonna be really hard for me to fix this cure!! Rockys your my East Coast love affair that I crave daily!! It makes me think of that song "Baby come Back"!! I just might have to make a cross country trip next year after the kid is born to finish my Italian love affair!!!

There is something special about these hoagies. After not eating any hoagies for my entire pregnancy I had my husband get me a Rockys turkey hoagie within 17 hours of giving birth to my daughter. I really could not wait any longer. The meat is great quality, the roll is not to soft and not too hard, and the provolone is nice and sharp. I have to admit that the ambiance of the restaurant is a little scuzzy/old but we usually order for take out so this is not a problem. The people who work here are just really nice and they have been there for years so they know what they are doing. One more thing, I have only ever had the turkey/sharp provolone hoagie (12 inch long),LTO, mayo, so I cannot vouch for anything else on the menu. Yes, I'm a creature of habit.

Hoagies were new to me when I moved to Philly six years ago. Since then I haven't had a hoagie that was better than the ones I get at Rocky's. The meat seems high quality, and the veggies seem fresh. Not sure what else makes it special, but the ones I get elsewhere are never quite as good (though Flannery's Grove Deli in Wyndmoor comes close). Also the staff at Rocky's is always very friendly. The decor is pretty old school, but appropriate for a hoagie shop. I've only eaten in a few times; I usually get my sandwiches to go. In the four years I've been going to Rocky's it has been consistent.

People were kind, food was delicious, reminds you of a NYC deli, a real slice of Americana! My only complaint was that I ordered a chicken salad sandwich with tomato and pickle and after getting to the park, realized I instead had a chicken salad sandwich with lettuce and onion. Moral of the story: excellent food, but check your order on the way out the door!

Love love love the tuna salad. Home made with just the right amount of mayo. I don't eat meat so tuna is frequently a staple for me and they have the best around.

After reading the reviews on Yelp, I decided to stop in for a takeout cheesesteak this week. Meat was flavorful, roll fresh, onions..very good. I get it with american extra cheese. Parking is a bit of a challenge. I parked on the side street and walked around the corner... The folks behind the counter greeted me promptly. They were pleasant. I can tell its a neighborhood deli because they called customers by their name.

ALWAYS order from Rocky's! One of those corner type places where you can always get something QUICK and yummy in a pinch. I order from here at least 3 times a week and am never disapointed. They know what I want before I can finish my hello, and it's always made exactly how I like it. Lots of nice stuff from the Fryer, and they make killer cheese fries! Definitely my favorite place for a quick bite, I cannot recommend it enough!

The food is great and really inexpensive. We shared a Johnnie Rocks, a turkey wrap, and a chicken cheese steak, all of which were delicious. We also had the chicken gumbo because they are known for their fresh-made soups; also good. It's very casual, booth seating only, and very comfortable for a Saturday lunch. Can't wait to go back for a cheesesteak and a milkshake :-)

Call me crazy, and I have tried every noteworthy cheesesteak in the greater Philadelphia area, and I consider Rocky's to be my favorite. Can't say I have tried many other items on the menu but the cheesesteaks are absolutely perfect. Great bread, meat is tender and the wiz/onion ratio is spot on. Service could not be any friendlier or more courteous and my orders are always ready fast and hot when I pick them up. Wish it were closer to the city I'd eat here a ton more.

I've been eating at Rocky's since the early 1980's and I kid you not, they make the best cheese steaks in the Philly area. I now live about 30 miles away and still visit Rocky's as a treat when I'm in town. Don't let the dated appearance of the place fool you... think of it as one of those "best kept secrets" of Glenside.
