Very good Philly Cheesesteak. I was just in Philadelphia a couple of months ago. This Cheesesteak is much, much better than Pat's. Plus free parking lot, free refills on your fountain drink, air conditioning inside, clean bathroom and friendly people. Save your airfare and get your Cheesesteak here. Enjoy!!! read more

When a Philly cheesesteak sounds yummy this is a favorite for us. They really pack on the ingredients and the bread is always fresh. Small area for seating and a reach in fridge for drinks. AND THEY HAVE GRAPE SODA! Tried their macaroni salad today and it was yummy too. read more

Take out order was easy to submit. The traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich was a good size portion packed with peppers and onions, but not much flavor. It got soggy pretty quickly, turning tbe roll mushy. read more

Who loves cheesesteak!? How cool is to walk into the shop with the automatic sliding door. Love it! Both the staff and the management were super friendly. Great service. Clean and nice ambiance. They have both seating inside and outside. Ordered Chicken Philly, root beer drink and sweet krimpet. Food was delicious. read more

Always drive by this place on my way to the 73, and I finally decided to grab a bite. I was not in the mood for a cheesesteak so I went for the Italian. It was full of spice and flavor. Good size and good taste. This a good spot for a sandwich. I will come back and try the cheesesteak next time. read more

A great place to stop by for cheesesteaks if you're craving. The items are prepared fresh so expect a bit of a wait to get your freshly cooked items. The cheesesteak was very goey and more than enough for a full meal. Food was fairly delicious and filling. Workers are very nice as well. read more

I'm no expert in Philly cheese steak sandwiches but there is another Philly sandwich spot near by that in my opinion, From Philly's sandwich takes the crown.

Dropped by for a Philly cheesesteak since this location is super close to the mall. It's located right next to the liquor store, and while the kitchen might be tiny, these folks know how to make a really great sandwich. A giant Philly cheesesteak made with bread baked in-house is done pretty well here. Ribeye, peppers, onions and cheese...simple ingredients but cooked well and assembled with care. They've got Tasty Kake for dessert and plenty of sodas from the East coast if you want a nostalgic experience. Service is great here. Everything is made to order so a little patience is required. The dining room is small and it's an easy in and out meal. read more

WOW!!! Everyone needs to try! I had a chicken Philly cheesesteak and it was definitely the best one I've ever had, it was perfect like it was made with LOVE! It was fresh, juicy and perfectly balanced. Amazing service and fast. Really chill ambiance, everything was spotless and clean. I'm coming back to try the original cheesesteak asap. read more

I have passed this place for over a decade and never walked in. I ordered a traditional philly today online and went to pick it up. This is seriously one of the best philly cheesesteaks I have ever had. I will be going back for different sandwiches. The fries are well seasoned and really good too. read more

I decided to try this place out after seeing it on Grubhub and I'm glad I gave it a shot! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak fries and the old world Italian sandwich. When I went to pick it up, I was greeted by friendly staff who gave me my order quickly. The food was fantastic! The Philly cheesesteak was so flavorful on the fries and the sandwich was great. I think next time I would try a Philly cheesesteak sandwich but the old world Italian was tasty. The fries were the real star. The portion was huge and I'm definitely looking forward to trying their other items. read more

Had this on my list for more than a year and visited recently. The staff was nice and the place was clean. The cheesesteak lacked a lot of substance. I got the number 1. I found very little meat in the cheesesteak. The mushrooms and peppers overwhelmed the sandwich. The taste was good but the value was not there for me. read more

Never, ever in my entire life, have I felt so overly bad about having done business with a given place! Went there last week for the first time, to purchase a sandwich. I ordered a large Italian sub sandwich for $17.99. By far, the worst sandwich I've ever had, hands down without a doubt in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I had no way of seeing the person preparing my sandwich, because they were hidden in the far corner of the place where visibility of the sandwich preparer is simply not possible. Also, unfortunately for me, I didn't eat the joke of a sandwich there, because it was a takeout order which I ate at home. Had I eaten the thing there, the moment I would have seen the thing, I would have immediately taken it back to the counter where the order was placed. I simply would have said, "Are you serious, this is the best you can do for $17.99?" I then would have proceeded to kindly ask for a refund and would have left the place in absolute disgust! Not only was this joke of a sandwich extremely small in size for a large one, but there was hardly any meat on it. Each time I'd take a bite, for the most part all I would taste was the roll used to make the thing with, lots of lettuce, a little mustard and mayonnaise and a minimal amount of cheese and salami along the way. The times that happened were few and far between. For $17.99, I expected a lot more or at the very least something respectable! That joke of a sandwich was so dry, I'm surprised I didn't choke on it along the way. If I wouldn't have been as hungry as I was at the time, I would have thrown the joke of a sandwich in the trash or would have offered it to the crows outside. Maybe not though. Perhaps the crows wouldn't have liked it either, even though they wouldn't have had to pay for it. In conclusion, if you're in the market for a good quality sandwich, that will fill you up at a reasonable price, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else but not to this ripoff place!...You're welcome for saving you $17.99. read more

It is awesome that Costa Mesa is home to 2 OUTSTANDING Philly Cheesesteak shops...and they easily rival some of the best Philly Cheesesteak shops in Philly. I spent years going to college in Philly, and ate way too many Philly cheesesteaks, and I can attest that King's From Philly is a solid Top 10, right next to Frank's. I still have to give the slight edge to Frank's admittedly though...which has a slightly better bread with a tiny crisp to it hiding a chewy center, and their flavor of the Frank's Choice sandwich is still easily one of the best ever. But when it comes to overall sandwich selections, Philly cheesesteak fries and options, From Philly has the edge on top above Frank's. Here is what I think is outstanding at this place: -- Philly Chicken Cheesesteak is EASILY THE BEST CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK I've ever had...and i've literally eaten dozens of Chicken Cheesesteaks all over Philly!! Somehow, the Chicken Cheesesteak is very moist and packed with flavor that is very rare to find in Philly. Outstanding sandwich!! 10/10! -- Regular Cheesesteaks are very good, but a tad pricey compared to Frank's for the size of the sandwich. I'd' give this place a 9/10. (By comparison, Frank's is a 10/10, Delco in Philly is a 10/10.) -- Philly Cheesesteak Fries are ridiculously awesome here! Very Gooey with a full load of cheesesteak toppings, and the fries were a tad crispy with some seasoning like Lowry's. 10/10! -- BIG THANKS for offering cheap salads that are large portions. Thank you! 10/10 read more

In plain site, this place can not be missed. I mean the food, the location, the service, and the manager. It has seating inside and outside to relax. The cold subs are just as good as the PhillySteak sandwiches. The cold sub was the Old World Italian. The Full is ginormous filled with layers upon layers. You just need to experience it! The hot sub was the Traditional Philly Cheesesteak ..... LOADED! The Full is exactly how you will feel (actually beyond full) after finishing this delectable, FANtastic, and gigantic sub. Hands down, one of the best, if not the best, locally in OC. Highly recommend trying either of them and judge for yourself. If you're a vegetarian or vegan eater, salads are an option, but this place is mainly meat protein, sorry! Happy Cheeeeessssseeeesteak and Fight On! read more

I have no idea what happened to this place. I came here a few years ago and I really enjoyed my Philly cheesesteak. This time I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and a mortadella sandwich. They were both so bad, that I didn't even finish them. The meat on both was so bad a so little that I felt like I was eating only bread. And the bread was so stale and bad that I just couldn't finish it. I'm never going back, especially that there are so many other good option in town. read more

4.5 Stars They got Whiz! Cheez Whiz, that is. Seriously, one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had in a long, long time. Packed with meat that was well seasoned (peppery), mushrooms, mayo, and my favorite, Cheez Whiz (processed cheese sauce that's oh so yummy!). I skipped the grilled onions and green peppers, but you can get them with your standard sandwiches. I also got an order of cheese fries, which were covered with melted provolone and some herb seasoning. The soda machine was out of gas the day I visited, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. As any great Philly cheesesteak shop should, they carry Tastykake dessert products. There are a few tables inside and a little larger outdoor patio dining area. Parking in the lot is limited, but there is side street parking available. I highly recommend this place! read more

I walked into this place with my sister a while ago, and was pleasantly surprised by the small-store vibes. They have a bunch of fridges in the back for drinks and prepared food, and a fountain for soda on the side. Seating is sparse, but there are enough tables for maybe 20-30 people (if you include outside). This is your local, bodega style Philly Cheesesteak. Because of that, we ordered promptly, and they began work on our sandwiches. It took maybe 8-12 minutes to come out, but it was steaming and wrapped perfectly when we went to open them. Be careful not to burn yourself! I took a bite and nearly did! Upon the bite, I tasted the molten cheese, some peppers, and the steak, of course. Texturally, it was a perfect bite, but I felt like the beef was a little under-seasoned. It was a tad bland, for my taste. That being said, texture isn't something that's easy to nail. The bread was perfect, the cheese, and the peppers too. I want to give it another chance, so I'll come back at some point. Come by and give it a try and tell them what you think! read more

They used to have amazing Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. I hadn't been in about 2 years but went the other day and it's not the same. They used some sort of seasoning/sauce/marinade that made it taste more like pot roast than cheesesteak. What a disappointment. I don't understand why they'd change such a great thing. And cheesesteaks aren't that complicated - use good meat, cheese & bread and you've got a hit. Bread is still great but I won't be going back unless they change the recipe. read more

We use to frequent this place about 4 years ago. Our office moved so we haven't been there in awhile. We ordered our usual Philly cheesesteak sandwich and waited... and waited. 20 minutes go by and we get our sandwiches. The bread was good as usual but the filling was filled with onions and peppers!!! Hardly any meat... we were guessing that the ownership changed cuz the sandwiches were pretty horrible. We'll probably never go back! read more

Came here Monday 04/24/2023. From Philly is a sandwich shop specializing in Cheesesteaks. They also sell sides like potato salad, chips, etc. I got the #1 original and posted a picture of the menu here. There's not too much to say here. It's a small shop with no line and no crowd. Most people probably wouldn't eat inside here, just take the sandwich somewhere else. They're decently generous with the meat portion but the sandwich is relatively pricey. It tasted good, but not the kind of cheese that I was expecting. They use more provolone than anything. read more

Great Service. This little little place gets busy. I got the Famous Philly Sandwich, which I must say was very good. Iry also got a perso AL Pizza to bring g back to the office for a couple of people to try. Pizza Sauce tasted like Chef Boyardee with Pepperoni. A stark contrast from the unbelievable Famous Cheese Steak. I have been passing this pla e for at least 3 years and finally decided to stop in. Am I happy I did? Definitely in the Office rotation.

Idk.. maybe it's because I've had Philly cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, or because I got the fries, or this place just did not hit... I got the traditional Philly cheesesteak fries and was not impressed at all. It was dry. And I was hoping the cheese would be chopped in the meat but there were just big globs of melted cheese over it. Not flavorful like I expected, so I can't even really blame it on the fries. I was sad read more

I was in the area close by and this place was suggested for me to try out. When I arrived and got out and was a bit confused by the arrows on the door (to me it seemed like they were pointing for customers to go in thru the liquor store next door). I popped my head in the store next door's entrance and didn't see a way that the (2) connected so I went back to From Philly's and THEN the doors opened and I went inside, lol. At the counter there was a woman who was taking a call so I waited to place my order but noticed the wall of drinks so I went over to check those out (there were many to choose from) then I was greeted by the woman and called over to the counter to place my order. MY ORDER: - Chicken Philly (no mushrooms, no american cheese, added avocado) -- 5/5 - Side Fries -- 4/5 (seasoning was more like a dry rub that you put on wings) - Hank's Irish Ginger Ale (crisp and refreshing) I appreciate that they make all their food to order so it was all nice and hot. The fries... I was a bit confused about --the flavor literally reminded me of a dry rub that you put on wings. The PHILLY... was loaded with chicken, bell peppers, onions! Very much enjoyed the Philly!!! Over all rating 4.5 read more

Stopped here for dinner after picking up hubby from the auto repair shop down the street. No line and no crowd sometimes makes us skeptical but there were some good reviews so we decided to try it out. There were several people in and out picking up take out orders as we sat and waited for our food. Wait time wasn't that bad. Hubby got the Italian sausage, Little O and I split a large original Philly cheesesteak sandwich and we ordered fries and onion rings. Everything was fresh and tasty. Be sure you ask for extra napkins because you will need them. There were two TVs on so it was a good place to sit and eat. There was also a self-serve soda machine if you didn't care for any bottled drinks. Service was friendly and quick. We'd definitely would come back when we get the craving. read more

Welcomed right in and they were happy to tell us local favorites. So we Ordered #1 the FAMOUS Traditional Philly Cheesesteak Took 10 min or less for this crafted premium steak, hot grilled onions, American cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers, provolone cheese on the fresh baked bread. Let me tell you I'm not even a sandwich type girl but I would definitely come back. Every bite into the cheesesteak was heaven. They definitely did it right. Regular fries and onion rings hot and fresh with a cheese dipping sauce on the side. I hate stuff on top of my fries i need them hot and crispy please. So the cheese on the side was the one. Thank you for great hospitality and making our first time a memorable one. Didn't take any photos hopefully next time we will read more

The food here is good. Definitely a great taste of Philly. This is the only place I've seen use non-mushy bread. If you're from Philly... you know lol. Usually I order delivery and today I decided to order in. The girl working the front had a nasty attitude. I got pickles and wanted a bag to put them in. The packaging they put it in has a whole in the top because it's for drinks. All good, but I didn't want it to spill. I bought two extra items and she was rolling her eyes at me for wanting a bag. And her response when I asked nicely, "can I have a bag?" was "is it to go?" And I said, "yes" to which she responded "so you want two bags."Then threw the bag behind the counter, walks away and leaves it there for me to reach for it. Then, she gives me my food. And leaves it AGAIN. And I ask her, "do you guys have some ketchup?" And she rolls her eyes again. I don't understand what I did for her to be THAT angry. Her coworker had to apologize to me for her rudeness. Regardless I would've needed 2 bags because all of my items wouldn't have fit. Please work on your customer service. Her attitude is disgusting. I mean I was looking for Philly food, not the Philly attitude. read more

I wanted to try out their Philly Cheesesteak, but then got interested in being a bit healthier with a straight ham and cheese sandwich - with lots of veggies. The good news is that the bread was crusty and fresh and the veggies were also very fresh. The not-as-good news is that I was slightly disappointed with the flavor and the amount of the Boars Head ham on the sandwich. It really didn't seem like regular Boars Head deliciousness, so I'm not sure if it was just my taste buds that day or something else. I will go by and try them again. In the meanwhile, their Philly Cheesesteak looked great and I will probably try that next. By the way, the service is great. The young man at the counter was helpful and very courteous. read more

We were leaving SCP late and wanted to grab tacos on our way home but saw this place in the corner screaming at us to go in. Had been craving a Philly cheese steak so we said letsgooooo. Restaurant was a small local deli/market with a few tables inside and some tables outside. Parking not too bad, not a place with a lot of people traffic. We got 3 items, the traditional Philly cheese steak sandwich, pastrami fries and the potato salad. The sandwich really hit the spot with its ooey gooey goodness (definitely could have been filled fatter for the price imo). Good cheese pull and very tasty. Pastrami fries were just okay for me. Maybe if it was chopped up a lil more would make it easier to eat. Fries were mid and not much else going on besides the cheese, onions and pastrami. I really liked the potato salad. It was wonderfully creamy with the right amount of tart. We also got some of their cherry sauce which was excellent for a spice addition. read more
