Never coming back. I was invited to have an easy dinner with my parents who are 79 and 94. I talked…read morethem out of The Hat to get Philly's Best since I had been eating there for decades. My mother raced down to the store since closes at 6pm on Saturdays. She made it with 15 minutes to spare. A couple of older ladies were sitting in a booth eating. Behind the counter was a female putting stuff away and a male scraping the grill. The male took her order and she ordered a cheesesteak, an italian, and a club sandwich along with some fries. Upon ordering the club sandwich the male behind the counter told her they were not serving any sliced meat sandwiches. She asked do you mean cold sandwiches and he replied yes. He then proceeded to make the cheesesteak and the italian but not the club. He never cooked any fries and they appeared in a metal to-go container. The two sandwiches he did make were ok but the fries were the nastiest fries I have ever tasted in my life. They were clearly old fries, not even reheated. You should be ashamed to serve a human being that garbage. Now on to why we will never be back. Your posted hours of operation are 10:30 to 6pm on Saturday. You should be open those hours, not putting stuff away and telling customers you cant make them food because you want to close up shop early. Furthermore the bs excuse you gave was clearly a lie as you made the Italian sub which has 3 different kinds of sliced meat and I have never once seen anyone slice meat on the spot to make a sandwich at Philly's. You had no problem making 2 more sandwiches for the gentleman that came in as our food was being bagged up so logic says the time she came in wasnt an issue. That was before your posted closing hours. I felt like crap because I talked them out of getting The Hat, your competition right down the street and then your service and your food SUCKED. As I said, we wont be back. I hope you closing up shop early was worth it.

Oh man, this sandwich definitely lives up to the name as in they are huge. Big quantity, not…read moreexpensive. The food quality isn't like Pat's or Joe's in Fishtown in Philly, but very huge and good in its own right. I went twice got the classic philly cheese and the one with mushrooms on it with American cheese and onion rings on both occasions. I could have sworn the first time they sent beer battered onion rings which were out of this world delicious. The second time I did postmates I got those fast food onion rings like at Carls Jr. Still good, but I was expecting the beer batter ones. Anyway I majorly endorse this place for the quantity of food and how surprisingly good the sandwich was. The bread was lightly toasted and soft. I personally didn't find the photos very appetizing but the food hit the spot. Give this place a try! I just noticed this is for the Santa Ana location. I ordered from the one in Los Angeles. But it looks the same. Give it a try anyway!

This is a scam. Its a false name that Aroma Pizza & Pasta uses to appear as a specialist for that…read moretype of food. They take online orders and then deliver in a generic box/bag.

Must say the Philly's Best Cheesesteak is one of the BEST if not the best. Bob and Andrea, thanks…read morefor creating such an awesome Philly experience. Located on Barranca, the staff were welcoming and friendly. A very robust menu. Hot and cold sandwiches, Herr chips, Dutch Birch beer, and Tastykakes! ..... If this is your FIRST visit to a Philly's Best, I highly recommend researching the online menu (no mobile app) at https://eatphillysbest.com/ ..... Read About Us I ordered Philly's Best bcz I wanted to try it, with everything in it. Worth the extra $1 to have the full experience. Taste? The Amoroso roll was soft and light; steak was chopped and tender mixing well with the onions, sweet peppers (that were sweet and slightly tart), and mushrooms. I've had a few Philly Cheesesteaks in LA and OC. The BEST cheesesteaks I find come from owners who grew up in Philly, forget the rest including bigbox and fastfood types (these are imitators), they don't compare. Authentic Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches should be "overfilled" with ingredients and "messy" falling apart in your hands. (I compare it to The Hat pastrami, if you know what I mean.) The only drawback at this location was how it smelled when you opened the door. More like cleaning liquids than food smell (I literally had to hold my breath while entering), but eventually went away. I WILL definitely come back or one of the other 19 locations in Southern California. Highly recommend trying at least once. Happy Eating and Fight On !!!!

I used to be a regular at The Hat in Alhambra before moving to Orange County. For some reason…read morethough, it took me until today to make the Lake Forest location my evening motorbike ride destination. Other than simple forgetfulness, there's no good reason for that. The location was busy and bustling even at 22:30, with half the restaurant full. The staff are great, cooking food fresh to order so expect a bit of a wait, but the huge portion sizes and the large quantities of salad in the burgers are exactly as I remembered - and still just as satisfying.

This is the worst Hat location I've been to. First the man at the register forgot to give us our…read moredrinks. Second he got our order wrong, it had to be remade. Third the gravey tasted horrible. It tasted like it was concentrate only and it was incredibly salty. Fourth, there was a woman cleaning the tables but nobody taking out the overfilled trash in both trash cans inside the restaurant. Who wants to sit and eat next to a dump. Not going back to this location again. So far all the others have done it right.

I was happy with the soda price at $2.99, when everything is so expensive lately. I'd go back! And I did notice they do have a lunch special which includes a sandwich, soda and I think fries!
