While s could if old school favorites (for my lovely wife) might have dropped from the menu many years ago, sure came to love their signature cheese steaks too. Honestly I'm not going to compare it with anyone's other favorites because this just happens to be mine. The best is getting it there and reading it hot but since pandemic, the seating is minimal. You can go anywhere and get a version of a Philly cheese steak sandwich, but this one tops my list. Please tell them Frankie told you you had to go there. Honestly, just love this place Anyway. Good luck!

I love the Philly cheesesteaks that I've had in my travels was curious if this location would offer me something different. First (only) offer Philly cheesesteaks with various options. I choose the "Philly Philly cheesesteak " which is double meat...it's amazing. Lots of gooey cheese, and onions...a super filling meal. I got it with onion rings, which were honestly meh, but I didn't come here for them...but still be warned if you're an onion ring person like me. The decor is what you expect with Philly being the central focus. The staff here is good and I got my order fast and made to order. A accidental discovery that ended up very satisfying. And among the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had...never having had an actual Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia!

Costa Mesa, Ca. I'm often on the prowl for a great burger…read more This place has an excellent one. It takes a bit of a wait to get it, as this is not a fast food joint. Someone is in the kitchen preparing your burger from scratch. The first thing I noticed when it arrived at our table was how the meat extends well beyond the bun and that it is about 3/4 of an inch thick. The Wagu meat has superior flavor, the number one feature of this burger. The type of cheese is unknown but it didn't matter as it did not deflect from the wonderful taste of the meat. The bun held up well all the way to the finish. The fries on the side were good, they looked as if they were cut on the premises, somewhat large size but perfectly cooked and not even a bit greasy. There was a tomato in there with good moisture and flavor, it reminded me of an Heirloom, but I'm not able to verify that. Price was reasonable for a burger of this quality. I'll be back!

John's Philly Grille serves a standout Philly cheesesteak that's worth checking out. I ordered the…read morecheesesteak with peppers, the bread was fresh and soft, the steak well-seasoned and generous, and the peppers added a sharp, savory bite. The fries are a solid side: crispy and seasoned, and the hot garlic sauce that comes with the meal deserves special mention. Slather it on the sandwich, it adds heat, salt, and a savory punch that elevates the whole experience. Inside, the vibe feels authentic and unpretentious, a classic, casual sandwich shop atmosphere where locals grab a hearty meal. It doesn't pretend to be fancy, just honest Philly-style sandwiches done right. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. For a straightforward, satisfying cheesesteak with solid sides and real flavor, John's delivers.

We both ordered the regular Philly sandwich without mayo which came with fries and a drink for about $15. They accept credit card and took about 5 minutes to make fresh. The sandwich was decent but next time I'll ask for easy seasoning. Both the sandwich and fries were a bit salty. I was full all day and enjoyed my lunch. Was it the best Philly sandwich I've had? Maybe not but it's not bad

This place has great sandwiches. I come here all the time…read more Today I got the Cali cheesesteak. It's got roast beef, mushrooms, marinated cream cheese, jack cheese, onions, and pepperoncinis on a toasted French roll. That's how you can oder it. For me I skipped the onions and added mayo just to switch it up a little, and as always, it was amazing. The bread had that nice toast on it, a little crispy on the outside but still soft. The roast beef was stacked in there, super juicy, with all that melted cheese just covering everything. You can see the mushrooms and peppers mixed in, and it all kind of blends together in every bite. It's messy as heck with all the juices soaking into the bread, but soooo good. Service is always good as well. There are a few girls that worked here today, always smiling, great attitudes, just a really good vibe.

Well, if I want a ground beef sandwich, I know where to come…read more I hadn't eaten here in around a year because the last time I did, I was disappointed with the quality and taste issues with both the cheesesteaks and the fries that accompanied the seeming change in management. The cheesesteaks that used to be full to the brim had then been stingy and the fries reeked and tasted of oil that had been reused wayy too many times. To add insult to injury, the prices had jacked up a ton. But, before hitting a road trip, we decided this would be one step above fast food so decided to give this place another shot. Huge mistake. Somehow, and at some point, someone decided that the steak that goes inside the cheeseSTEAK could be swapped with what looks, tastes, and feels like ground beef. True story. From the crumbly texture when chewing, the watery taste that could stem from what I think was a hurried attempt to semi-boil and/or thaw frozen meat, and the fact that 25% of the meat fell every time I took a bite, I'm almost certain they are using ground beef. At a minimum, it is clear they switched their meat and it is not for the better. I can only speculate that it was in response to complaints of stingy meat because they had filled our sandwiches to the brim with this meat. Unfortunately I'm going to be permanently removing this from my list of food options. This experience has even compelled me to write a review when I have not in quite some time. Wow.
