Amazing service, we walked in and were greeted warmly by the cashier, he was very helpful and patient and enthusiastic. The place was really really clean and the decor was great and the music was really good! They even had TVs on both sides of the lobby which was great. The food arrived quick and the Philly cheese steak was so good! The price was a bit high but the portions were great. Overall a very enjoyable experience and I'll definitely be back. read more

From Philly - The Philly cheese steak sandwich! cheesy and meaty and amazing! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Hands down, best cheese steak in OC. The bun was amazing!!

I've had 3 sandwiches here so far and all have been tasty and satisfying. Staff is friendly and speedy. The traditional Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms, onions, provolone and peppers is my favorite but after trying the meatball hoagie it's a tough call. I've also had a cold Italian hoagie which was also good with some hot peppers. Bread appears to be baked in house, crispy on the outside and soft inside. There is a good selection of sandwiches which I look forward to trying. read more

Wow. So cheesy. The meat tastes awesome. I can't wait to try their other sandwiches. Ive only tried the traditional with no bell peppers. One of the best philly cheesesteaks I've had. Will be coming back soon! read more

It's honestly pretty good the food was great to eat my family and I enjoyed the food, i'd go again it's a nice place just to get a Cheesesteak i'd recommend it to a friend or family member and i'd go again for the Cheese Fries alone read more

Philly cheesesteak was pretty damn good. Quality meat was good and just the right amount of cheese. Bread was soft which always makes a difference. I will say the fries were ok but only because they were soggy when I got home. I would recommend this place for those who are craving a philly cheesesteak read more

good cheesesteak sandwich. worth the price compared to others. however there was a lady spraying cleaning chemicals on the wall next to the cooking grill I am pretty sure the chemicals where getting on everyone's food that was being cooked. I mentioned something to cashier and after a couple minutes the cleaning lady stopped because the MOD/ cashier told her to. not sure who the real boss was that night. cleaning person should be retrained. you don't spray cleaning chemicals while food is being cooked. cashier was wonderful and cook offered to make another sandwich for me but I was in hurry. I will not go to this place near closing time because they are cleaning and cooking at the same time. can the owner put a stop to this ritual? if you have to pay a little extra for cleaning after the store closes I think it will be worth it. I would like some feedback from owner to show he is reading these reviews read more

Great place! Stopped in while getting an oil change down the street and had the traditional Philly cheesesteak. Order came out promptly and it was delicious. Everything seems to be made fresh to order and the quality was 10/10. read more

I am trying to be fair. This review is based on an online order to go. I had the classic philly. The sandwich was a little bland, just tasted like it was missing something. I think it's close to being a good sandwich. I'd maybe give it another try in the future. read more

I had the traditional as recommended by the employee, and a side of macaroni salad. It was delightful. The restaurant was clean and the food tasted good. This will be added on to my go to lunch place at work. Recommended. I am excited to try other sandwiches as well. read more

This place exceeded my expectations by a mile! It is sooo good. The meat is great quality, and their bread is so toasty and soft! They also have so many choices of sides, salads, drinks, and it is a super clean and friendly place. It is right by my house so I was stoked to see it open (the place before it was meh). Check it out! read more

Holy fuck dude... this place has amazing sandwiches... half the people in my workplace tried to steal the second half of my sandwich... its all put well together and its a more than enjoyable eat... NO REGRETS AT ALL!!! read more

It was our first time here and I must say this place has the best Philly cheesesteaks in SOCAL. The portions are more than generous. They have the perfect ratio of steak vegetables and cheese in their Philly cheesesteak. It is cheesy and moist. The place itself is very clean and the staff is very helpful and nice. This is a must go to place if you are around the neighborhood. read more

Went there lunch 2 Days in a row.. the best philly cheese I've ever eaten.. highly recommend going there!

Long awaited and finally open sandwich place in the area. Absolutely amazing sandwiches, rich, tasty, excellent quality of meat and deli and the most important thing for the sandwich - bread roll that is made there, always fresh and crispy. I love From Philly so far, definitely my favorite sandwich place in all OC. read more

From Philly - Momma Dietz and Meatball sandwich. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The food here is fantastic and the portions are huge! My wife and I split the traditional Philly cheesesteak and fries and were both stuffed! The staff was welcoming and very friendly. We brought our baby and they went out of their way to make sure she was taken care of too. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Forgot my order, I was the only one there. When I asked if they forgot, I got the runaround answer. "Ohh I made a new ticket." Next time just own up to your mistake. read more

Amazing. Best cheesesteak in town. I love this place. It's been a long time since I've had a sandwich that was so well put together. Everyone who works there is kind and friendly. This is my second visit in the past week. Will be back soon. Nom nom read more

From Philly - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Excellent place for quick and reasonable price lunch! I ordered the original Philly cheesesteak and it truly did remind me of Philly! I would say that this is probably the best Philly cheesesteak I ever had in the west coast! It also has a NY style deli feeling, yet it is more cleaner and nicer. Definitely recommend this place if you are in town. Also for lunch, I recommend coming before 12pm as there seems to be a long line for the order. No wonder it is so yummy! read more

FRESH AND A LOT OF FLAVOR! This place gives everyone something to talk about...something positive for a change!

Such good service and amazing food! The workers were so nice and the meal was lovely!

This place is amazing!! I tried the philly cheese steak fries & macaroni & omg heaven!!! Can't wait to come back & try their philly cheese sandwich!! I have a feeling it's going to be the best I ever had! read more

Was excited to try this spot out, being so close to work. Unfortunately 30min waiting for a Philly cheese-steak doesn't cut it. Especially when you see your order ready and the lady decides to make you wait an extra couple minutes for good measure. I ended walking up to ask and get my order. Overall food was good but overshadowed by the long wait. read more

I was very disappointed with this. I'm from PA and this, this was not From Philly. Not even close. First of all, what kind of sandwich that claims to be a Philly cheese steak isn't made wit wiz? Or at least given the option. The taste of the sandwich wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It was soggy and the bread was just a crappy French roll. We ordered cheese fries but the lady behind the counter marked it as regular fries and unfortunately we didn't notice until after we left with our food. For such expensive food I was expecting much better. I don't think I'll be returning any time soon. read more

Best philly steak cheese sandwich! The meat is really good quality and tastes great. The other sandwiches I tried were amazing too. The bread is fresh and homemade. They are also very generous with their quantities, the sandwiches were loaded. The fries with the cheese and steak toppings is delicious. I would definitely recommend trying them out! read more

Have originated from the city of Philadelphia you understand a good Philly Cheesesteak. It's in your blood. "From Philly" simply is the best Philly Cheesesteak I've had, since I moved to California in 1985. Their Cheesesteaks may even be better than the best Philly has to offer. I'm serious. While I was enjoying my Philly Cheesesteak (American & provolone with fried onions and side of hot peppers), some stranger sitting next to me said...you need to go try John's Philly Cheesesteak in Seal Beach. He said, they blow these away. Well, being curious, I had to try it. So I took my son with me to John's. Now, before I tell you the outcome, I just want to say, it's amazing what people actually consider quality. From Philly blows John's away. 1st off, the bread at John's is too tuff and chewy. From Philly's is made homemade on site and is the closest to South Philly bread. No 2, the quality of From Philly's steak was far superior, has more flavor and melts in your mouth. Last, From Philly's hot pepper mix is just flat out awesome and completes the sandwich. I just found my go to Philly Cheesesteak place. Just wish they were open on Sunday''s, then I would have never went to John's. read more

Nice and toasty bread. Tasty cheesesteak filling and the grease is oh soooo good! I'd come back again since it is close to my work. Might have to split it with someone since 1 order is huge. I got the traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich about $12 as of today. read more

I have never really cared for the philly sandwich. My son was telling me about this place and how much he really liked it. Today he brought me here. I trusted him and had the original philly sandwich minus the bell peppers. Let me tell you I thought it was AMAZING and to top it off I put the red chili sauce on it that my son recommended. This is a little sauce spicy enough to add just a little kick. The bread was fresh and the meat, onions and cheese were melted nicely together. The place was very clean and neat. I will definitely be back. read more

For years Franks Phillidelphea was the only cheesesteak place for me. Until now. From Philly is a different style sandwich. The bread is baked on premises and the meat is more like a sliced steak as opposed to the ground style of Franks. Both are good but for different reasons. Highly recommended. read more

Best Cheesestakes on the West coast. 4 tables outside, street side, to enjoy the sandwich

Very clean restaurant and good service. My order was not delivered correctly on the first try, but the older gentleman was courteous and happily corrected it. The place is astonishlingly clean and the steaks were above average. The bread is wonderful. My only gripe is that the steak is slightly chewier than other places I've been to. Overall a great experience and you must try it if you are in the Costa Mesa area. read more

Clean, fresh, and worth it. Today was my first visit to this small but well put together sandwich shop. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are 5 or 6 tables and a nice outside patio with umbrellas. Food is fresh and comes out hot. My order was correct and the price was worth it. I was a big fan of Penn Station subs when I lived in the Midwest. This is the first time I have had a comparable sandwich on the West Coast. I will be back to this spot often. read more

Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen these days and it seems that you can get a Philly Cheesesteak from almost any of the local spots popping up around Orange County. However, Philly's Best, Frank's Philadelphia, and John's Philly are some of the establishments that specialize in this East Coast favorite. From Philly boasts a wide array of sandwiches, chips, sides, and sodas in a newly renovated spot located next to the old liquor store on Baker and across the street from an apartment complex. We ordered the Traditional Philly Cheesesteak at $10.49 and the Old World Italian at $9.99 with a side of fries for $2.99. So how did From Philly's cheesesteaks stack up against their competitors? Theirs is similar to Philly's Best but with a better ratio of meat, cheese, peppers, mushrooms, and onions. The bread is soft and chewy on the inside with a slight crust on the exterior. The tender, thinly sliced meat is seasoned well and the gooey American cheese, Provolone, and hint of mayo lent a decent amount of salt and fat to the sandwich. The fries were subpar but perhaps we received an old batch of fries. I wasn't a fan of the seasoning either. Next time, I'll try the macaroni or potato salad from one of the numerous self serve fridges. As for the Old World Italian, it was a basic cold cut sandwich comprising of proscuiotto, capicola, soppressata, tomatoes, provolone, mozzarella, mayo, and mustard. Nothing special nor unique. Compared to some of the famous establishments in Philadelphia such as Tony Luke's and Pat's, From Philly falls a little short. Where's the option for cheese whiz? Nothing screams Philly Cheesesteak like bright yellow and synthetic liquid cheese. read more

Saw this place on the way home and thought what the heck. Great surprise! amazing bread that holds and is tasty. I split an original cheesesteak and we loved it. The onions and peppers are thinly sliced and they hook it up on the ribeye which is also very tasty. Small place but sooooo good read more

The Cheese steaks are juicy and cheezy but the food seems to take forever to make. Next time I'll take advantage of the order ahead option on Yelp. The parking lot is really small, so finding a spot maybe be difficult. Yet another reason to pre-order your food on Yelp. read more

Came here craving a philly cheese steak and boy this place does not disappoint!!! The traditional philly cheesecake sandwich was delicious, probably one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place if your ever on the area!! read more

I came here on a friday night to grab some dinner with my boyfriend and brother. We all ordered the famous traditional philly cheesesteak. The orders came out very quickly, which is always super nice! I ended up enjoying my cheesesteak more than I expected to because I tried another popular philly place around the area, but disliked it. The sandwich was packed to the max and filled me up super quickly. My brother and boyfriend also loved it very much. Overall was a great and delicious experience for all of us. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great spot! Super tasty philly cheese steaks and very friendly service! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good lunch spot! read more
