Food is solid if you are from the east coast and miss certain types of food, but it's average

Best pickles ! Great hoagie spread! One of my all time favorites, way better than jersey mikes !

This place has become so hit and miss. No consistency. Flavor always great, but this is NOT a $15 dollar sandwich. This is bread with 4oz of meat. Try this in Philly and you would last two days as a business. read more

Philly's Best - Where's the beef???!?!?!? - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Burbank, California

Awesome, large cheesesteak sandwiches and friendly service. Onion rings were delicious. We will definitely come back.

I deliver for postmates sometimes, between LA and Santa Maria, as I travel frequently between these two cities. I fell a few days ago, and injured my knee. I've been able to walk without putting much weight on it using a crutch. However, I guess I've over done it today, because it's gotten progressively worse, the swelling has increased and even though it burns, my leg is also going numb. Obviously, I need to stop procrastinating and go to an ER, but.... I have this delivery first, cause who wants a soggy sandwich? So, picking up an order, I park right outside the doors. In the parking lot. Easily accessible. I went ahead and called inside and asked if they would kindly have someone bring the order out to me, since it was pre-paid. And I explained that I don't normally request places to do that, and went on to briefly explain my dilemma. She said she'd be right out but to give her a few minutes. She was super nice and trying to be helpful. She came out and explained that her boss said no, and that I would need to come inside. I'm pretty sure at this point that I've snapped a tendon and my kneecap is dislocated, I said. ... But sure I will get out and hobble to inside so that your boss can see the excruciating pain that I will probably pass out from now. Just because she wants to make sure everyone stays productive? Or? I really don't get her rationale. Even though. Coming out to say no - you need to come in - has taken 5 times the amount of productive time better spent doing something else- like handing me the order and then carrying on with whatever is next. But no. It will also take me 15 min just to get out of my car I'm sure... The car next to me had just arrived and had overheard the whole exchange. As I was trying to get out of my car and struggling to get my feet on the ground and getting my crutch ready for me to attempt to stand.. The gentleman in the car stated that's ridiculous. I'll go in and grab it for you.. They almost wouldn't let him get it, but he told them we knew eachother and he was helping me.. And then he said he didn't feel like eating there now just based on principal. The thing is... I have 2 options in my situation. Think outside the box to complete the order and get it to the customer timely. Or cancel the order where it will continue to sit and get soggy by the time the customer receives it. Logically speaking, that last options doesn't make any sense for either of us, business, driver, or the customer. I'm sure there are lots of lazy people out there. But really - how often does that happen? Where a driver is just lazy and calls the order out? My guess is that it doesn't really happen that often. I've never seen a driver do that, nor have I ever heard of anyone doing that. I'm just trying to complete the delivery- so that everyone is a happy camper. Everyone except the manager who is oddly suspicious of me, to the point that she would rather risk making a customer upset, than help a delivery driver out, that is having a medical urgency, that doesn't have sick time or who can afford to take time off, and is going to have to anyway after this delivery is over. She would rather watch me struggle and in pain - rather than just do the right thing and give a supportive hand. Even when it's not a matter of her employees being spread to thin for a special request. I would actually be understanding of that. But that wasn't it. Because she sent the employee out to relay a message to me, she should have came out to say herself. Delegating tasks is one thing- but that is inappropriate to put your employee in the middle like that. But just so you are aware, your employee was excellent and thoughtful, despite that poor judgement call.. read more

Overall this was a decent place I wish they had categories oppose from just voting for the overall experience once. Overall it was a great place the food was extremely fresh when I got it and when I got him. The fries were crispy and ok. I just wish they would have had steak fries. Usually Philly places have those. The philly itself was ok. I'll give it about a 5/6. When ordering I asked if the meat was seasoned they said they didn't season any of their meats and offered me some cajun seasoning to take with me. I passed on it I didn't want to be eating grainy seasoning on an already cooked meat... if you know what I mean. I may try the steak philly one day to see how it taste. But I'll say give it a try. If your every in the Oakland/Castro Bay Area I will give you a couple of places that would blow your mind. P.S I got the sweet tea it was delicious I was impressed by it. read more

Best tasting cheesesteak in all of LA, hands down. Great steak, soft rolls and just the right amount of cheese. Highly recommend

The owner here is super nice! I watched him interact with the customers and he had so much respect, while also exposing their vision - this isn't subway! Lol. Theses cheesesteaks really hot the spot, and I can't wait to come back. What a great gem to stumble upon during a holiday weekend commite read more

Best philly in LA hands down. Good culture, good people, very respectable establishment. David and everyone else in the place are cool people. The cheesesteaks are like a warm hug around your heart. This is the spot whenever im around. If you know, you know. read more

As a Philly guy I grew up on cheese steaks at Pats, Gino's, Delasandros, and Tony Luke's. Never had a good one outside Philly....until today. WOW, was I pleasantly surprised at how good the meat, cheese and sauce were. And don't forget the fried onions. All served on a deliciously soft roll. Bottom line....a terrific sandwich! Try it. You won't be sorry. Andy from Olde City Philadelphia. read more

My buddy recommended this place to me and being from Philly I was excited to try their sandwich. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheesesteak and although nothing will compare to Jim's on South Street or Tony Luke's it is definitely the best version LA has to offer. I've had Boos and it's not bad, but Philly's Best is definitely better. I will say that they could have more meat in the sandwich, but the overall taste was very good. Only critique would be to "beef up" the quantity of steak on the cheesesteak. read more

My order: cheesesteak hoagie with lettuce and tomato; onion rings -More than enough serving size for one person. I could not finish the whole thing. Sandwich for under $10. -delicious and satisfying sandwich alongside fried onion rings, washed down with a classic coke -watched the amazing dodgers during my meal -not considered "fast" food but it's well worth the wait -Louisiana hot sauce and old bay spice available at each table -free fountain drinks -small parking lot read more

Philly's Best - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Burbank, California

I've had way better cheesesteak sandwiches. The sandwich I had today (provolone cheesesteak with onion and pepper) was dry and bland to say the least. It needed way more cheese. The steak was too dry and it just really needed some flavor. It was lacking. Not sure if I just got it on a bad day or it just seriously does not live up to its reviews. I also ordered the cheese fries, which were okay. Nothing to rave about. In fact, I wish I had just gotten regular fries half way through it. The bread was soft, so I thought that was a plus, but it was majorly lacking in flavor and cheese. read more

Fries were cold Sandwich was very salty Also expensive They charged fo mushrooms and didn't put them on the sandwich and when I told them about it they were oblivious Don't bother wast of time and money Bad experience read more

I've been here before and just usually take home a cheesesteak sandwich, but today I decided to order onion rings for my side. I didn't realize it was a dollar per ring....!!!! I guess that if I go here again, I definitely will NOT order onion rings.... The sandwich was good tho.... read more

Philly's Best - Cheesesteak sandwich onion rings - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Burbank, California

How many ways can I say YES to this place? I love a great cheesesteak, and I've been here like 3 times trying something new each time. Outstanding. Always super hot and freshly cooked. The portions are huge. Price fits the portions, like $10-15 with fries and a drink. Philly's Best is loaded with everything. You can get plain steak or add onions mushrooms cheese n peppers of course peppers. Outstanding!!!! read more

Great food. Never had a bad experience here and the staff is really nice and laid back. Prices are a little on the higher side but it's worth it. Simple and straight forward food read more

I have never been to Philly so i cant compare to something from there. but Authentic or not, I am yet to find a better Cheesesteak anywhere else. Other sandwich shops may offer a cheeaesteak, but Philly's Best truly is best. Juicy meat, melty cheese and a soft but not chewy roll. Peppersteak with cheese and extra peppers is my go to and highly recommend it with a drizzle of Louisiana hot sauce. Top sandwich in town. read more

Love the food. Amoroso rolls are the best. Definitely feels like a bit of Philly. Friendly staff.

I was really looking forward to an amazing cheesesteak since its been a while I had my last one. I called ahead to order and went to go pick it up. I'll start with the good: the fries. My goodness. It's perfectly crispy and they leave the bag open so that it remains crispy. It tastes amazing and you can go wrong with it. The bad: the cheesesteak. Flavorless and bland. The meat wasn't even salted or had any black pepper added to it. I ordered the pepper cheese steak with cheese whiz. The whiz is hella bland and not even a hit of salt as well. It just tasted like watered down cheese. What's interesting is that I asked for Old Bay... so imagine if I didn't have that Anyways, if you want GOOD Philly cheese steak in LA, I highly recommend Boo's. read more

The name of the establishment has a typo... Philly's Worst is more like it. The steak is tasteless, the wiz has that Wizzy color but 0 flavor, but the roll is soft & the fries are decent.... I gave them 2 stars for the positive things about the place, the roll & fries... I rather go to Boo's in Hollywood... I AM NOT AN AMBASSADOR OR EMPLOYEE OF BOO's, just a customer. But if you've never been to Philly, Ohio or Boo's you might like the joint. read more

Very average spot to get a Philly cheesesteak. Tasted like it was from the freezer aisle and someone in the back just nuked it for a few min and then just served it. Will most likely not be going back again. read more

I've been going to Philly's Best for years now, and have never been disappointed until visiting the Burbank location. The food is good, however, the extremely RUDE elderly ladies at the register will keep me from ever returning to that location. The owner should definitely consider hiring new people with decent attitudes and customer service skills. read more

Strip mall joints are an interesting dining experience. No matter how much owners try to dress them up, you know you're still eating in a place that shares its wall with a hair salon. Get your dry cleaning done, a quick perm, and bite to eat. Hard to build a lot of character and charm, but it doesn't matter when the food's good. Here, the food is good. It's a solid place for a solid sandwich at a decent price. I ordered the Philly's Best. A cheesesteak with peppers and onions. Paper thin sliced steak and some good ol' American cheese slices. The bread is supposed to be a Philadelphia-inspired creation but it tastes like a store bought roll. $8.49 for the finished product. The sandwich was a good size and when you think about it, I walk out of Subway spending 10+ bucks for a meal. I'd rather spend my money here. Not going to go out of my way to stop, but won't hesitate to pop in for lunch if I'm in the area. Not to go unmentioned is the condiment bar. They have a mess of red peppers you can throw in your little plastic tiny cup that doesn't really fit much and makes you wish for a moderately sized cup. I made the mistake of getting just one. I was only a quarter of the way through my sandwich when I realized that was not enough. I made my way back and filled a handful of tiny cups. It was the perfect spicy topping and I highly recommend grabbing 4 tiny cups of them for you hoagie. Service was pretty quick. Not a lot of smiles and happy looking people working behind the counter, but when you're eating cheesesteaks in a strip mall, oh well. read more

This is my go to spot for sandwiches twice a week. It's always consistent. The chicken sandwich is also amazing. The fact that it's on Postmates also make it even better. The fries seem a bit dry but the sandwich makes up for it. Def give it a try read more

Phillys best is a great cheesesteak!! The bread is delish!! Have gone back many times!!

Ordered the classic philly cheesesteak & onion rings. The sandwich is alright, i guess i was starving so it just tasted meh. What really pissed me off on the order was the fact that the onion rings came in a little kids size happy meal bag & contained 4 rings and a broke piece of a ring . LOL! How can you sell that s*** for what you're charging. Literally 4 pieces of an onion ring. As soon as i saw that, my tastebud & desire for what i ordered just flew out and i immediately thought of what to do . I dont even write reviews as i think its a waste of my time, but damn. Yall really got me on here like a karen complaining about 4 pieces of some small a** rings & a rationed down Cheesesteak sammy ‍ read more

Great, my best place to grab a cheesesteak - consistent, fast delivery and ample meat

For the past year or more, I've noticed the cooks and food handlers at Philly's Best wearing gloves. They have been a strong constant in our takeout plan throughout the pandemic and continue to make the best authentic cheesesteaks in the area. Grateful to see they value hygiene along with their excellent cheesesteaks. Plus they also sell some classic Tastykakes! read more

Takes phone calls before taking orders of walk-in. Better to order on phone and pick up. Only see two persons working. Must be hard to find help. Philly cheesesteaks are awesome. I left but will return at a later date. read more

Ordered the cheese attack on the specials menu and fries. My friend and I thought it was okay; my friend thought the onions were too limp, and the quality of meat for me was only okay. I felt like there were not enough mushrooms in mine either. The fries were good though! Thick cut and crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. Don't forget to add Old bay seasoning to the fries! They also don't have water cups so I recommend buying a drink- I got super thirsty after eating half of my sandwich. read more

I always have to douse the sandwiches here with tons of hot sauce and Old Bay seasoning. But I love their homemade pickles here. An edible, not outstanding, cheesesteak. The burger is just okay too. I'm appalled that they offer cheese whiz along with the provolone. Why on earth would anyone older than 4 use that crap on anything? Homemade pickles. Yeah, that's the attraction for me. read more

The worst! On my way to the location I called to place an order and was asked to hold. Two minutes later the call hung up. I called back and was again placed on hold, in the 10 minutes it took me to drive there, they answered the phone as I was pulling up! On top of that, they ran out of Pastrami! Waited another 15 minutes on the order! Wanted to charge me $1.75 for a cheese wiz on the side when every other Philly's locations provides it at no coast! Not a single star should be given but you have to in order to post ! Damn shame! Never going to this location again! read more

Philly's Best - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Burbank, California

I break all my diet rules to eat here and have no guilt about it. I went for my birthday and went in to a food coma after a turkey hoagie and cheese fries. (My boyfriend always gets the Philly cheesesteak) I accidentally left my purse here and didn't notice until after they were closed. (Please don't judge me haha!) I went the next day and they said they remembered it was mine and kept it safe for me. We wound up eating there again because we have no self control. Dang....now I want it again for lunch! read more

My journey to try Philly's Best started with a conversation with a woman on a plane who is from Philly. I told her how I missed Pat's so badly, and hardly (if any) give you the choice of Cheese Wiz. So after a 30 minute conversation, she recommended Philly's Best, since she agreed with me that it just doesn't taste "right" without the Wiz. She also told me that they import their buns from Philly daily. The bun was spot on, miss that dirty water in Philly that makes them taste that way... I yelped Philly's Best and found one in Burbank, so I went to go try it. I got the cheese steak with onions and WIZ!! I also tried their Pizza Fries. Meh. I like "chili cheese" fries much more than "a pizza sauce w/a slice of American cheese" fries. I've never seen "Pizza Fries" before, so I had to try it! Though I thought the Cheesesteak was really good, I still don't think it's as good as Pat's, it's a 30 minute drive vs flying to Philly. Now that would be a very expensive Cheese Steak! And I'm Pat's - all the way. read more

After 5 years, gave this place another shot. I have to admit the sandwich was perfect. The Cheesesteak was flavorful, bun was crispy yet soft, meat was juicy and tender, and overall the sandwich was delicious. They definitely lived up to the name - Philly's Best. I won't hesitate to go back. read more

Pick up order: Got there (at the time they said the order would be ready) and the guy (kid) working there said he didn't have my order at all. Then he found my order... it became clear the kitchen hadn't even started making it -- no apologies, he told me 5 minutes, I waited 15-20. He never said, "hey sorry about that" or tried to make it right, he just played it off like it was my problem. The food is whatever but I couldn't taste the food over the sh***y customer service. They lost my business from that order on... Good luck! read more
