The Rook on 4th

Stopped by on a whim tonight, classic steak was extremely good. The roll was solid (I think Sarcone’s). Meat was flavorful, juicy, and not fatty. Cooper and onions e were perfect. Excited to try some cutlets and the smash burgers.

I ordered the fries with whiz and a cheesesteak through grubhub. It was ready for pickup super quick! The onions are .50 more even though on the menu posted to their IG they are included. The cheesesteak filling was absolutely delicious! The bread was decent, but was a little chewy, as if it had been warmed in a microwave. The filling was good enough to make up for it that I would happily order this again. The fries were pretty mushy and so hot that they melted the plastic of the cheese sauce container lid. The cheese sauce was not great. Even though I think the prices are pretty high for the neighborhood, I’m looking forward to trying some other sandwiches from this spot.

Great to have a new food place in the neighborhood. Food was crazy delicious. It’s a bit pricey unfortunately but you def get what you pay for if you want a speciality sandwich. Godfather cheesesteak was real tasty and flavor was on point. The bread they use for their sandwiches is really great too. Over all a great new food place in Olde Kensington.

I live in the area & wanted a quick bite for lunch,& was VERY pleased with this spot. I don’t eat meat & was able to order a regular menu burger with a plant-based patty with no issues. You order at the counter, your made is made to order,& they serve it to you in a brown paper bag. You can stay & eat at one of their stand-up tables as well. I stumbled across this place randomly & will be back many times in the future

Was so good I had to go on my other account to post the photos. Even after a night in the fridge, my sandwich stayed fresh, crispy and soft. Olive oil, and house dressing didn’t soggy the bread honestly enhanced the cuts. Shout out you guys. Peep my reaction 😭

This spot is very new and I think will be a staple moving forward. I ordered the cheesesteak with cooper sharp and the cheese was mixed in with the meat and the bread was fresh despite it being closing time. This is by far the best cheesesteak in this area.

Came here today with my cousin to try for the first time and I must say I was instantly impressed with the outside setup the location is perfect. The food option was out of the world. Like you you can tell the chef truly took their time to create each sandwich from the name of the sandwiches down to the ingredients. I mean I was so excited I didn’t know where to start and what to order first. So to tbh I will be coming back to try just about everything I eat I can eat on their menu. The chicken cheesesteak was delicious I mean the chicken was real chicken breast but it was cut up to perfection so you can still bite it. The cheese sautéed onions long hots did one thing on the chicken cheese. The Rook fries was good. Love the cheese sauce. You get so much fries that if you go with someone y’all can just split the fries. Lol. My cousin order the cheesesteak and she said that was the best steak sandwich she had. Tbh this place came at the right town. It’s a lot of places in Philly but this place is going to be a staple. Stay consistent with the quality of food and continue to have great customer service. The only con is may struggle with parking and they should open up to 3 in the morning lol. Which really isn’t a con just a way to let you know they need to be open all day longggg lol.

I gotta go 5/5 for the food. However Ill limit going here often because its pricey. Good steak, lots of cheese, good roll. Very much the new style, like Angelos and Del Rossis.
