Amazing cheesesteaks await you at forefathers!!! After browsing the Yelp app, we found this location, it's off QC road and Alma School. The concept is very customer friendly, you can pick the type of steak, cheese, and any sauces and extras that you want, for me it's grilled onions and mushrooms The bread tasted like it was home made and the sandwich was balanced perfectly. I also like the fact you can order a sandwich that is perfect portion-wise, the regular sandwich fills one up without feeling stuffed. You can order online-- we are definitely looking forward to the next visit! read more

Forefathers - WOW - Salad Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Great food and great service. We had dinner here last Friday night and were the only ones there when we arrived. After we arrived, it got to be pretty busy. We all ordered small size sandwiches and they were a perfect size. The steak was flavorful, well cooked, and they did not skimp on the portions. My dad and sister ordered chicken and it too was flavorful. We did one order of sweet potato fries and one regular and mmm these fries were the bombbb. They were both hot and crispy. The inside was clean. read more

The casual fastaurant does not disappoint. I don't get out to this side too often, since I was in the vicinity, I had to treat myself. My daughter and I shared a regular beef cheesesteak with onion, bell roper, hot and sweet peppers with provolone and a side of ranch dressing. There is Ranch dressing and wannabe ranch. Their ranch is amazing. Our sandwich was perfectly balanced with all the peppers, onions and meat. I would definitely come back read more

If I'm ever craving some cheesesteaks then I would come to Forefathers. Plenty of parking and usually not too busy. It was clean from what I saw. The menu was simple and the staff was friendly. There's different toppings to choose from but I always order steak, onions, and mushrooms. Their regular size was more than enough but if you're starving then their large will make you pretty full. Their fries were good and same with their sweet potato fries. They had a refrigerator in the back where the drink machine was to get sauce or peppers. The cheesesteak was good to me and sometimes I felt like I should have ordered a large only to be full at the end. Overall, good place for cheesesteak and I will be back! read more

Whatta solid joint! Been back to Forefathers a few times and that statement should speak for itself. Quality and consistent with friendly staff. Now for the food, I have always ordered a regular cheesesteak, which is a very respectable size, that is to say, I do not leave hungry. I ordered mine with jalapeños on it (Pro tip: Only order with jalapeños on it if you love spicy food like me, can be a bit overbearing for softer palates. Can also just get them on the side from their mini fridge). The fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, (another pro tip, get yourself a few of their fry sauces from their mini fridge, goes great with the cheesesteak too!) The stand out aspect for me, beyond the solid food, is the ambiance. A very nice, modern interior that is always clean, just check out those bathroom pics! Overall, go back to your ancestral roots, cause ForeFathers is calling, a call you should definitely answer. read more

Great food and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick meal that melts in your mouth!

Everything was excellent! Great customer service, great food! Ive been there four times and every time has been a great experience that I've taking friends there to eat and they have also commented on their own experience of the place and they've also had a great experience! Keep up the great work team! We will see you guys soon again. read more

Excellent cheesesteaks! Bread and fries are really good. Plenty of options for the sandwiches. Can go traditional or customize as you wish service was great and very fast. Definitely coming back. read more

OMG! I love Philly cheesesteaks, and now that I have discovered this place, it has my heart! As pictured, I got my cheesesteak with provolone, but will never do this again...The real way to go is CHEESE WHIZ! I've heard it's the original way to eat a true Philly cheesesteak, but the idea grossed me out. Until, I tried my husband's order. Trust me, get the cheese whiz. The fries are delectable and so is their fry sauce! An added perk is if you order your cheesesteak with fries, they give you a fountain drink. The employees were friendly as well. If you are a cheesesteak lover like me, you have to try Forefathers!! read more

Forefathers - Philly Cheesesteak with onions, peppers and provolone, fries and fry sauce. - Salad Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I've ordered from here before through DoorDash and the food looked way better than what I got in person today. Came in for lunch thinking it'd hit the same... it didn't. The steak had a weird texture, the flavor was off, and the bread was soft in a way that made the sandwich soggy instead of fresh. It's like all the seasoning and care stayed with the delivery orders, because whatever I got today just wasn't it. UPDATE: 4 hours after eating the food I developed symptoms indicating food poisoning!!! read more

Absolutely LOVE this places sandwiches and sauces. Their sweet potato fries with their fry sauce as a side is always the move. Get the jalapeño ranch and thank me later! read more

Never fails to disappoint! Love how fast the team is at prepping the food. The chicken cheesesteak is my go to with peppers, mushrooms and onions and a side of fries and the jalapeño cilantro sauce. Definitely recommend visiting if in the area. read more

This place is the bomb, every time I come in here reminds me a little bit about Philly I come up from Casa Grande just to come here it's Clean. The people are cool and I wish all restaurants were like that but their cheesesteaks are the bomb. read more

Overall rating: 4.5/5 Wait: 4.5/5 Arrival time: Saturday 7:30pm Food: 4.5/5 Order: Chicken cheese steak w/ fry sauce, mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions Service: n/a Price: 4/5 Worth it, would come back I ordered the Chicken Cheese Steak with mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions, and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the combination of melted mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions added a nice kick to the sandwich. The portion size was generous, and the ingredients were fresh. The pricing at Forefathers Cheese Steak was reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the food. While it may not be the cheapest option in town, the taste and experience made it worth the price. Overall, I had a positive experience at Forefathers Cheese Steak Chandler. The wait time was minimal, the food was delicious, and the prices were fair. I would definitely consider coming back in the future to try their other offerings. If you're a fan of cheese steaks with a twist, this is definitely a place worth visiting. read more

I want to start this by saying I am not the biggest fan of Philly cheese steaks, but was willing to try. I ordered for pick up from their website. It was very easy to use and clearly broke down my order to check before paying. When I arrived, the staff was friendly and greeted me. It was about 12.45pm and there were not too many people inside. I was directed by the cashier to pick up my order at the end of the counter. I had ordered about an hour earlier than my pick-up time, and it seemed like they had just made it. I ordered the regular sized Philly cheese with steak and then added provolone, mushrooms, green peppers, grilled onion, and a drizzle of cheese whiz. I am not sure exactly what the cheese whiz was, but my friend recommended it. The taste was overall pretty good! It was hot when I picked it up, and the ingredients seemed fresh. I understand that prices for everything have gone up, but I still felt hungry after eating the regular sized sandwich. I wish it was a little larger for the $13 price. I was debating between the mini and regular sizes when ordering. The mini size would definitely be for a snack to hold you over between meals. I would recommend Forefathers to anyone who likes Philly cheese steaks. They offer friendly and quick service that can be convenient to those working nearby. read more

Forefathers - Philly cheese with steak - Salad Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I've been craving a cheesesteak sandwich for a while and Forefathers is right down the road from my work. Perfect. My co-worker loves this place, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I placed my order online and it was a pretty straight forward process. I ordered a regular size cheesesteak with my favorite vegetables, extra meat and a side of fries. After checking out, the website stated that I could pick up my order at 12pm. I arrived 5 minutes early and they were frying up some fresh fries for my order while I filled my drink. The place was clean and moderately busy for lunchtime rush. I was out the door with my order at 12PM on the dot. Nice! I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the cheesesteak. I ordered it with Jalapeno Cilantro Ranch. I knew they added it because it completely saturated the paper they wrapped the cheesesteak in. Once I removed the paper, it didn't look like any of that Jalapeno Cilantro Ranch made it into the cheesesteak at all. I certainly didn't taste it. Oh well... The bread was very soggy and not much fun to hold and eat. The cheesesteak was hot and tasted decent in spite of not having any of the sauce in it. Now, for the fries... This is totally a personal preference, but if you are like me and hate battered fries with a passion, you'll want to skip the fries at Forefathers. More often than not, if a place has, what I consider to be bad fries, I'll more than likely not return unless the main items they sell are stellar and worth purchasing solo. Unfortunately, I really can't say that with this experience. So, it's a toss up as to whether I'll go back. read more

What an amazing place! I've eaten at the one on Priest and I've been in love with their cheesesteaks ever since they opened and I decided to try this location because I happened to be close and I was not disappointed at all.

It's ok. Not great, not bad. Just meh. The sandwiches are very expensive for what you get. The amount of ingredients are on the low side as well. For two people we spent close to $50 for lunch. One regular and one large. Two fries and two drinks. $28 for the steaks, $8 for the fries and $7 for the drinks. Add tax and if you choose to tip because it asks. You really have to love average food. The fries are the breaded kind that I'm not to fond of. You're much better off making your own which is pretty easy with a cast iron pan and the pre sliced and frozen ribeye they sell at Safeway. read more

Really really like the food here. But I usually always get all sauces on the side. And so I got my cheese wiz on the side when I ordered my sandwich. Got home and realized they left it out. When I reached out about it. They told me that the cheese wiz was complimentary so they just thanked me for my feedback. I was super disappointed since I've referred this place to so many people and like I said I do like the food. But not even a discount on my next meal was offered. Nothing to try to resolve it. My sandwich wouldn't hold up the 20 mins it would take me to drive back. Very disappointing to say the least. read more

Saw an article on-line that said Forefathers has the best cheesesteak sammy in AZ. They were not far off the mark. As a matter of fact, I'd say it'sthisclose to being perfect. Let's start with the bread: soft, light (very) crust, dense enough to soak the juices but not fall apart. The meat was extremely flavorful. What kept it from 5 stars: the cheesesteak was a little light on cheese, I like white american, they have several options and the cherry peppers while delicious, were a little sparse, the upside is they have a cooler off to the side with extra cups of peppers, nice touch. They serve shoestring fried potatoes, not fresh-cut which is a thing for me. Fresh-cut fries are just so much better. Staff was friendly, and seemed attentive. Other than that, this is a cheesesteak worth the travel (wasn't that far from me) and I would most definitely order again...and again, and again and again. read more

I was told there are two places in Chandler to get a good cheesesteak hoagie. Forefathers and Phillys Famous. I tried PF and loved it! Actually took my wife on second visit and was awesome again! We both tried Forefathers the other day and I waited till we were both done. I asked her well? We both preferred PF. I felt like FF was lighter on beef, the bread was soggy from the beef. They make a good cheesesteak but not a 5 star cheesesteak like PF. read more

The service was fast and the food was really good. The mini was the perfect size! The fries were hot and crispy

Amazing Philly!! Every sauce you can imagine but at the end of the meal you'll want nothing but the traditional style! Cheese wiz:) Great people and service is quick read more

Best cheesesteak I have had outside of Philly. Fries are great too. Nice people and excellent service.

Ok, so my wife and I have visited their 56th St and Warner location. This place is a must! They have the best cheesesteaks in town and they have Fry Sauce! If you've never been here you are truly missing out on one of the finer things in life. They added this location and I literally feel like I just took a pay cut! Such is life, so worth it!!! read more

Incredible steak sandwiches. THE best Philly-like sandwiches we've ever had and the fries are incredible.

Forefathers never misses. From their service, to the quality of their food, they are top tier. The best cheesesteak in AZ in my opinion whether you sit in, pick it up or order delivery, it's fresh and consistent every time! If you were looking for a cheesesteak in the valley look no further. read more

I used to visit the Tempe location with coworkers but haven't for a few years. Decided I wanted some and saw they are nearby now. I always get chicken with OMG. The sandwhich was tasty but in the past the sandwhiches were never closed because there were lots of ingredients. That wasn't the case today and there was a noticeable decrease in fillings. The sweet potatoe fries were good. Hopefully a fluke and I'll give them a shot when the craving returns. read more

I paid $14 for a cheesesteak there. Just the sandwich. Opened it up and it was soggy as heck the bread was soaked. And I ate it there not to go. It did not taste very good either. $14 wow.. and then they have a tip jar for you to tip in advance. read more

I've eaten here several times and their cheesesteaks are pretty good, with lots of options as far as toppings go, including cheese. One suggestion I might offer is change buns to something smaller/lighter. In other words, the big bun overwhelms the cheesesteak. Too much bread, which takes away from the overall taste of the sandwich. Only my opinion, of course, so. . . read more

Great cheesesteaks! Only wish they had a KETO bowl option Without lettuce! Not everyone's likes kale or spring mix! read more

The food was delicious, I would have liked more cheese but overall very tasty! Service was good. The seating area was very clean!

Cheesesteak is delicious. Great shred of the meat and meaty cheese. As a Philly boy they're pretty decent

I visited this place and ordered a chicken cheesesteak yesterday. I remember I was telling my wife that there were some kind of smell from either the chicken or the vegetables, I would not order it next time. Sure enough, I went to restroom 4 times after I had that. It was very dry (it usually is not) and tasted/smelled "off". I've been here many times and ordered the same thing with no issue, I'm not sure what is going on here lately but unfortunately after getting sick this last time, I will not be back. read more

I wish I had four fathers to take to lunch here every week because I cant get enough of this place! These guys really know how to do a cheesesteak! If you haven't been here before stop reading this now, pack up the kids and get over there! Its unreal and could be my new death row meal. You know, if I was on death row and they gave me one last meal......Ya, that. Their customer service is always at its peak and they are all so helpful and friendly. The place is clean and inviting so you don't feel like you're at some grimy ass shop! Cheesesteak. What can i say? The bread is always fresh, the produce is cooked to perfection. The fries! Hold that thought. Ill get back to those. The cheese is melted perfectly. Its just the perfect combo. You can customize it kinda like Five guys style. Its even wrapped up like a little new born baby when they give it to you in the bag so stuffs not falling out all over the place. If you take a bite and don't like it for some reason, come see me. Ill be the one in the parking lot doing a Daniel Larusso crane kick straight to the throat because you don't deserve to eat here. The fries. I'm going to officially go on record and say "these are the best fries I have ever had". A lot of people say McDonalds fries are the best and to those people I say grow the EFF up! I remember my first fry...... They are so consistent every time. Crispy, cooked every time like if you worked there and you spent extra time making them how you wanted them. These kids don't play. Mark my words. tell them Dave from Yelp sent you and you will get a free assortment of peppers from their pepper fridge. Yes! they have a pepper fridge. Any other place you ask for more of anything they look at you like they are going to go out of business if they throw one more jalapeno on that bitch. Forefathers says please enjoy the right amount of peppers at your leisure. We got you family. Shout out to the people who made it this far. Highly recommended if you cant already tell. Maybe ill see you there dowsing my fries and Cheesesteak in spicy blue cheese. Another review for that sauce coming soon on its own because its like if you were about to take a bite and god says " WAIT FOOL. try this!" ForefathersXDave2024 read more
