Ok, look, I have been to Philly. The name is wrong. However, this is a great place for a cheese steak. The people are great, and it is a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your sammich. Clean, relaxed, all good. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering the size of the sandwiches. Looking forward to going back when I am in Chi town again. read more

I miss their location on Belmont, but was happy to find this location. Didn't really find any street parking so I had to park at the little lot across the street which was $15. I guess to park that's not really that expensive but when you're just going in for a sandwich, it seems like a bunch. I ordered my Philly with onions and green peppers with the American cheese and it was as good as the one on Belmont. The place is a little dirty. The bathrooms are horrendous just as bad as the ones on Belmont you used to be. I don't know why it's so hard for people to use the restroom without leaving an extreme mess. So I would say the biggest downfall is how disgusting the bathrooms are. The place is older so it isn't the cleanest looking of places, but unlike the one on Belmont, I left and didn't get food poisoning. It had been several years since I had a Philly because after you get food poisoning on something you don't wanna eat it for a long time. read more

We placed an order for pickup and within 15 minutes it was ready. The order included a small steak Philly on regular bread with lettuce and tomato, and one order of seasoned fries, totaling $25.57. First, the Seasoned Fries. They reminded me of Arby's curly fries, but unfortunately, they were all small, broken pieces. Even worse, they were served at room temperature and seriously lacked salt Next was the main event: the Philly sandwich. Unwrapping it was confusing. Did I order an Italian beef dipped in sauce, or a Philly? That's how incredibly soggy it was. The bread was already deteriorated from the moisture. Flavor-wise, it was just... meh. It seriously lacked seasoning. Despite the quick service, the food quality was disappointing. I would not stop here again for a Philly craving. read more

YUM!!!! I love getting good from Philly's Best. It's always really good, fast, and filling. Typically have leftovers enough for another meal too. They're really nice and efficient. Used to go to the one on Belmont but they closed. This location is still really convenient and they have the same menu and food quality. They also have a really large and diverse menu! read more

Their Philly cheese steak sandwich is so damn delicious! If you want to try a better one, you might have to go to Philadelphia to find one.

Our family has been getting Philly's Best for 20+ years and it's the same amazing delicious philly EVERY SINGLE TIME. Service is good and ambiance is great (on my couch eating delivered Philly LOL) Can't wait to go back again next time we are in Chicago. read more

I've had this place before and didn't even know until I recently was introduced to their buffalo chicken Philly, and I must saaaaaay it was so good! Maybe it's me, but I love a good sandwich and this one is good! It's very flavorful even though the ingredients are simple: buffalo chicken, cheese, and whatever sauce they use!! The service is also pretty good, they cook the food to order so it comes out fresh and hot! It's also a cute little place, but if you didn't know what you were looking for you could miss it. I've also had their regular chicken Philly and it was good as well! I wanna try a steak Philly next, I can't see them disappointing. read more

Five star Phillies sandwiches the owner Michael is an amazing person and funny too makes you laugh, but he serves up the most delicious Philly sandwich sandwiches whether you're trying the garlic one or the plain one you'll love this family's tasty restaurant a five star highly recommend read more

This place is filthy. You can feel the nastiness is the air. The washroom is simply disgusting. The employees eat while cooking. They never use gloves or wash their hands. The cashier is always sleepy and never friendly.how is this place still in business? This used to be a great spot. Too bad the owner gave up on it. read more

This is my second time ordering from here, y, I don't know, I thought I'd give them another try. Unfortunately for them this will be my last. I Ordered the steak egg, It was way overpriced for the size they give u. Advertisement made it seem like it was a nice size....its NOT, It had no flavor whatsoeve!!! Even the sauce they give u didn't have much flavor, stated it had onions, maybe they were minced??? I had ordered the Philly cheesesteak the 1st time, it had too much cheese & onions, not enough meat. They should take some of those onions & put it in the steak egg roll!!! It also needed some seasoning, all u tasted was the cheese. I give them 0 out of 10! read more

This is one of the best cheesesteaks in the country, and I say that as someone who has eaten cheesesteaks from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. The wings are fantastic as well. Coated in a homemade Buffalo that is buttery, savory, slightly tangy flavor. They really seem to care about the food they prepare. read more

First time here. Service was friendly and helpful. Good food. The chicken philly sandwich was good, but next time, I'll have to ask for the meat to not be so chopped. I know that's the style of the sandwich, but it made the sandwich more difficult to eat, plus being a bit soggy. The French fries were okay. Would go back to try the pizza. read more

The Buffalo chicken Philly cheesesteak was really good. The cheese fries were amazing. I enjoyed the experience and the cashier was super cool and helpful. My friend and I dined in and enjoyed the customers. I can't wait to go back. read more

Pretty authentic cheesesteaks (from a former Philly guy). Portion sizes have been significantly reduced of late. The place is also pretty rough around the edges, and cleanliness is an issue. read more

I lived within walking distance of this restaurant for six years. In summary, it got the job done, sloppily.

I have their app... attempted to place an order. It states that it is closed. I come into the store for the staff to charge me over the price and refused to honor both my discount and free fries.. then they made it like Apple / Google is attempting to rob them because they forgot how to work the various system in place read more

This place has went under on the service and the quality of there food this place use to be one of Chicago best places to eat now it's just a ran down hole in the wall with below quality food the cheese steaks are horrible full of onions no real full cheese steak these people are far off from what a real cheese steak should be read more

I ordered a chicken Philly, it was ok but I would have liked to know was it dark near or white and no one was able to determine. I was surprised since they are in the kitchen preparing the food. read more

We ordered the 18' Pizza steak pizza. Always a favorite and a couple of cheesesteaks. Not sure what made me order the chicken cheesesteak with hot peppers. No bueno. Will never do that again. Sandwich looked like they dumped an entire jar of peppers I. There. Soggy mess. Never again. Cheese fries were awesome. 3 king cheese steaks, one cheese fry, one pizza-$123.00 read more

My go to takeout spot in the west loop. Their Philly cheesesteaks are absolutely STACKED with meat and toppings. Definitely worth the price you pay for them. The large could even be split between 2 people. Nothing bad to say about this place, the people are nice and the food is great! Haven't tried their other menu items but their Philly cheesesteaks are incredible. read more

Most times Calling in won't work but just go on down there, you will not be disappointed. The sandwiches are phenomenal!! read more

I appreciate that they serve chicken phillys. I also like that they offer provolone as a cheese to use. I don't like how little of the cheese they used to make the Philly, nor was the bread the freshest (i.e. the bread was tough to chew on the ends). Otherwise, the portion size of the meat and fries was large, but the sandwich overall didn't have much flavor. The diner was clean, and the food was ready on time though. I'd be open to revisiting, but I would order something else. read more

I don't know why this place isn't rated higher. I am writing this review as a Philly native who has had a LOT of cheesesteaks. In Chicago, this is the absolute best place. It's the only place that I go for my cheesesteak craving. The hoagie rolls...the cheese whiz...the caramelization of the onions....the bread to the meat ratio. Absolutely perfect. Although it does not top the best cheesesteak place ever, it's definitely in the top 10. read more

My boyfriend is from Philly and we wanted to get some Philly cheesesteaks to watch the Eagles game. We were skeptical at first cause we heard that this place went downhill after covid. But we thought it was great! I've never had a Philly but my boyfriend said it was really good and deemed phillys best as a "great place if you want a real authentic Philly." It may seem expensive but honestly is worth it. They do not skimp on the meat. This sandwich is heavy, flavorful, cheesy, greasy, messy, and of course delicious. One large sandwhich is good to split with another person or good for one hungry person. And as always get cheese wiz not provolone. read more

Being from the Philly area, I had heard about this place and actually just happened upon it around lunch time so why not? I can not recommend this place at all even after the non-Philly bell curve. 1. There was way too much grease on the sandwich, more than a fully dipped Italian beef but heavier! 2. Beef was over cooked on the grill and chewy 3. Fried Onions were thinly sliced and not diced ending up burnt and mixed in with the meat. I ate the sandwich as I paid $15 for it but it was basically not edible. Also, register person not helpful at all. Wanted to like this but a hard no for me. Sorry PB read more

This is a proper cheesesteak. For me, it's all about the cheese whiz. So, I'll get my steak with that, onions, mushrooms and hot peppers. A a few shots of A1 when I get home and I'm money. Living up to the name my cheesesteak was as good as any I've had in the City of Brotherly love-which I'll posit still pales in comparison to the roast pork at DeNics. read more

I've been a franchise patron since the original spot opened on Belmont. This spot was easier to access but not anymore, so I rarely visit. Wanted a change of pace late last year so I decided to order online for a snatch and grab but it wouldn't process. After several attempts to order online since late 2023, I stopped by and actually sorta found a place to park (fiending maybe). A sign telling you Cash Only payment system down, greets you. Welp that explains the inability to complete an online order. Ordering online garners free fries too... Placed order. Asked if fries were included given the online system is down. Told no. No more TastyCakes. Walked away. The place is similar to other greasy spoons on the other side of Halsted, not inviting for a sit down. Food is a good representation of a Philly cheesesteak. Not fiending enough to make the drive to the o5her location though. read more

This is IT! IMHO it's better than the couple of spots I've tried in Philly. They're a bit pricey but worth every penny. I used to go here for Philly cheesesteak pizza slices but this time I grabbed a slice of gyro pizza. The cucumber sauce under the meat with the cheese on top, babbbbyyyyy. Now on the cheesesteak, it comes with onion and cheese but you can have additions (like mushroom and peppers) for an additional charge (of course). I recommend getting the large so you can have some for later because you WILL want to eat more. That's just how good it is! read more

I lived in Chicago for almost 20 years, and the best and worst thing that ever happened to me was discovering Philly's Best when I lived up in Wrigleyville. It was one of the reasons my weight ballooned over years of eating this fine food when hungover, because this is by far the best cure for what ails you when that happens! They have so many appetizers, salads, desserts, pizza, and cheesesteaks on the menu that anyone can find something to enjoy. Sometimes you'll get a deal on one of their promotions, and sometimes you'll get as a loyal customer coupons to use after ten orders. The fact that they deliver is just added joy to my lazy butt. I was visiting in town and had to have this one more time prior to leaving. From years of getting deliveries, the person who always delivered to my condo remembered me- called ahead to make sure he was actually bringing this to a hotel instead of my old address. Super kind, and nice to be remembered. Awesome guy. I will tell you that I always get my cheese steak on garlic bread, with onions and extra white american cheese and extra meat...this way I can eat half and save half for later. Ask for the boss sauce (ketchup and mayo mix) on the side, it's good for dipping snacks into! It is super greasy, but good for what ails you when you're hungry or hung over. If you're into fries- they have so many options- curly, seasoned, with cheese, and they have Philly Fries which are thicker cut and seasoned liberally with Old Bay and comes with a side of a creamy/cheesy sauce. Make sure you get an extra side! The Philly Steak Roll is basically an egg roll with cheesesteak ingredients in it- genius idea! They are open late at this location so you can order until 2 AM! Also good for those drunken cravings...Basically it's good any time you are craving a taste from Philadelphia. read more

Where do I begin when my review is literally the name of the restaurant honestly one of the best Philly I have ever had. It did not disappoint not one bit. I will admit I was a little skeptical when I walked when but best choice I made was to order from this restaurant. If you get any sandwhich you have to add the wiz to the Philly. I got the boss sauce on the side as well and it was pretty amazing. If you are thinking about trying it out just go. read more

Ive been coming here since 01 & this joint hits the spot every time! Ive had the cheesesteaks in Philly. Tbh, they're not all that great! Let me put it like this. If I had to order my last meal it'd be a Large Philly cheesesteak with onions, provolone & wiz. And a slice of their cheese! :P 10/10 read more

Waited 2 hours for a sandwich that never arrived. When i called the restaurant, they said "our internet was turned off" so i was out of luck. Not even an apology. read more

Delicious and genuine Philly cheesesteaks. Hearty, savory, and they really hit the spot. Meat is tender and the cheese of course is properly melted and spread across the sandwich. Nice bread too, none of that artificial sweetened wonderbread. Really friendly service even open super late. I thought it was a bit pricy, but then I opened up my cheesesteak to see a mountain of cheese and steak. read more

I've been a customer of phillys best dozens of times over the years. They are ver good at doing a classic, East coast style cheese steak. Tonight I drove 15 minutes to go to phillys Best to order. The website said they we're open to until ten. I checked it before I made the drive. I walked In at 9:50. Sadly I didn't call first to check the emotional temperature of the staff. Maybe they didn't feel like being open? My mistake. Went I went to order, the cashier told me they were closed. It didn't matter what the website said. It didn't matter what the sign on the door said. The kitchen wanted to close. Even thought the website and the sign on the door said differently. The cashier on duty tonight (1/5/2022 at 950pm). had no interest in trying to make a customer happy. Basically her attitude wAs a big FU. She just wanted me to go away. I'm fact while we were talking she literally walked away from me, pulled out her phone,and started texting. I would strongly recommend any Yelp reader not to even think about going to or ordering from Phillys Beet after 6 pm. Posted hours of operation clearly mean nothing to the staff or the owner. Customers who want to spend $ there are clearly an imposition. It's unfortunate, as they are really good at cheese steaks but a complete disinterest in customer service like this should not be repeated with your business. read more
