Lawnside, NJ just got real lucky. If you’ve ever wished you could grab a legit, beefy, cheesy, flavor-packed Philly cheesesteak without having to actually go to Philly... guess what? Your saucy little miracle has arrived… for BREAKFAST and LUNCH!

Welcome to Rocco’s Italian Sausage & Cheesesteaks, parked right outside the Home Depot on White Horse Pike. Yep. A food stand. Outside a hardware store. Serving some of the best sandwiches in South Jersey. If this isn’t the American dream, we don’t know what is.

🥩 What’s the Deal with Rocco’s?

Originally a Philly thing, Rocco’s made its Jersey debut in 2023—and Lawnside is better for it. Once you take a bite, you’ll understand why people are straight-up obsessed.

This isn’t fast food. This is “drive out of your way, bring two napkins, and maybe cancel your afternoon plans” kind of food.

🧀 THE MENU: BRING A BIG APPETITE (and maybe a bib)

The star of the show? The Rocco’s Special. That’s steak + sausage + that famous jerk sauce everyone keeps raving about. It's like a cheesesteak took a vacation to the Caribbean and came back with an attitude.

🔥 Classic Philly Cheesesteaks

The OG. The GOAT. The MUST-GET-NO-MATTER-WHAT. If you leave without one, you're doing it wrong.

🍳 Breakfast Sandwiches

Because 7AM cheesesteaks should be normalized.

• The Gavone – Let us say it louder for the hungry in the back:

  STEAK. BACON. EGGS. POTATOES. CHEESE. ONIONS. PEPPERS.

  Add hot sauce if you dare. This beast isn’t breakfast—it’s an awakening.

🌭 Italian Sausage Sandwiches

• Hot

• Sweet

• The Crusher – sausage parmigiana, because sometimes your mouth wants a hug.

🐔 Chicken Sandwiches

Flavors that slap:

• Jerk (spicy, smoky, life-changing)

• Buffalo Chicken (tangy + heat = yes please)

• Cajun (a little Southern fire)

• The OG Chicken Cheesesteak (don’t sleep on it)

🍄 Portabella Sandwiches

For the plant-based legends and flavor fans:

• Fajita

• Garlic

• Teriyaki

• BBQ

  (Mushrooms have never looked this good.)
