I got a chicken sandwich, my wife got a Philly cheese steak, and our son got the chicken version of the Philly cheese steak. All three sandwiches were made just as we ordered, and my wife and son enjoyed their Philly sandwiches. I enjoyed mine as well. The next time we are at the food court in Parkway Plaza, we are going back to Ab's Philly Steaks. read more

I've had a few really good cheesesteak sandwiches here. The cashier is a little grumpy sometimes but not rude. I definitely recommend grabbing a sandwich if you're planning on eating in this Food court. read more

Ab's Philly Steak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - El Cajon, California

I visited on Tuesday, March 17th at around 1:45 PM. Unfortunately, my first impression was not a good one due to the interaction at the counter. When I asked for a cup of ice, the employee responded in a rude tone, saying, "Do you have a cup? I told you a can comes with the combo." A simple "No, I'm sorry" would have been much more appropriate. I then asked for Cajun fries, and instead of just taking the order, he corrected my pronunciation, even though it was clear what I meant. That interaction felt unnecessary and dismissive. As for the food, it was very bland. I had to add salt and pepper to my Philly cheesesteak, which shouldn't be necessary for a well-made sandwich. The best part of the meal was honestly the canned iced tea; the fries were boring. Overall, when an employee has an attitude over simple questions, it makes the experience unpleasant and makes me unlikely to return. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect basic courtesy. read more

Ordered the Philly cheese steak fries! Portion is big enough to share it was loaded with cheese steak. They are located inside the parkway plaza mall. Cashier was very nice and recommended the fries. read more

The owner was on site and his really cool they wrap up the sandwiches really tight so they don't get all messed up when you take them to go. Are the prices are very reasonable and then food is a high-quality just something to break away from the traditional hamburger all the time and place gotcha covered. You can also get a chicken Philly, That might be more of a California thing. come enjoy. read more

This place is hidden within the malls food court but easy to find. I always order their chicken tenders, which come out very fresh, not overcooked and non greasy:)) Surprisingly, their tenders are very good! I would even compare them to Texas Roadhouse quality, but smaller. Customer service was great. Guy who runs business, was very kind. Area over all was quiet and non noisy. Please give them a try! read more

9/22/23 - went in there around 2pm. No line. Ordered the $9.99 Philly Cheesesteak. Very friendly customer service. 1 star. I had the order for dine in and the order took just 7 minutes to cook. 2 stars. It was a good size item and had some flavor. I would prefer more meat on it and less cheese. Overall 3 stars. A person at another table had the fries which looked great. Will try the fries next time. It did look like the photo but with less meat. See photos. The meat was cut up very small. The photo looks like a lot of meat but when you open it up. It's all propped up with cheese. I will go back again and try it again to just make sure. 3 stars total. read more

ABs i see why you advertise extra meat for a fee, all I really taste on my Philly is veggies and cheese. You not only rationed the meat, but the ketchup as well. read more

Ab's Philly Steak - You won't regret it - Cheesesteaks Near Me - El Cajon, California

Ab's Philly Steak is a MUST-HAVE. Every time I visit the mall, I find myself wanting a chicken philly because it never disappoints! The quality of each sandwich is consistent with the last. The customization options, down to the very seasoning that goes on your fries, allows the customer to customize their meal to their liking. Service is phenomenal and quick, despite weekend business. Kitchen and ordering area are clean and well-kept. Only thing I miss is the tv they used to have at their old storefront! I have been going to Ab's for my sandwich needs since they first started out across from the Walmart. They have now moved to the food court further inside the mall after Walmart's closure and have expanded their team AND their menu. It warms my heart to see their growth. This family truly deserves it. read more

Ab's Philly Steak - Philly cheesesteak Tasty - Cheesesteaks Near Me - El Cajon, California

Food took absolutely for ever for just 1 Philly cheese steak. No drink no fries. I placed my order first before 8 other people and 26 minutes later I still didn't have my food. When I did receive my Philly, it was good but not worth a wait that long. If it was a 5-10 min wait it would be. read more

Finally had a chance to get myself a sandwich at this spot. Boss man was buyin' so how could I say no!? Service - A small language barrier, but they ultimately knew what I was asking for. Sandwiches are grilled in front of you, so you know what's going in it. Food - It's hard to mess up a Philly. With that said, the bread, meat, cheese and all the fixin's hit the spot for sure. Asked for hot sauce on the side and it was probably one of the best hot sauces I've had. Price - It's about $10 for a Philly w/ everything. Seems about right... Venue - It's basic. No frills. I didn't mind since it's right by Walmart in the mall which is good for people watching. With that said...I'll probably be back....soon.....like for dinner tonight. read more

Usually don't leave many reviews, but this place warrants a review. Wanted an easy dinner after work and been craving a cheese steak recently. Checked yelp and saw this was close by. I went in and shockingly I was the only customer in there. I got the Philly cheese steak combo and a six piece wing and I will be going back. The garlic Parmesan wings were delicious and perfectly crispy but still Juicy. The cheese steak was super tasty, and no particular thing was overpowering everything. The fries that they offered to season, for no extra charge was a nice side with everything. The service was excellent, and everything was cooked fresh to order. Really hope more people experience this place! read more

Great tasting food for a reasonable price. Please visit this place so it stays, it deserves the success.

the best food and service amazing selection of sandwiches. has awesome variety of drinks and highly recommend it!!!

This is a wonderful place to grab delicious chicken Philly cheesesteaks. You'd be hard-pressed to find a meaner Philly Cheesesteak in the area, and maybe beyond. The very kind and modest woman at the counter was intelligent and engaging and shared much information with me as to the quality of their offerings. Her suggestions were perfect! As I noticed the prices were low, I must comment that these aren't monsters; so, I ended up going one step further and ordered double meat chicken Phillies and fries for each member of my team who was working for me in our Gillespie Field hangar. There wasn't a peep from anyone once the eating began - they were hungry and this stuff was satisfying. Once the food was done, everyone raved and asked where they could get more. This meal was just what the doctor ordered (me!) when I sought to get maximum efficiency from hired hands. Happy stomachs, happy workers! :) read more
