    The cheesesteak was pretty average. It's a pretty heavy meal. The onion rings though, they're some of the best I've had

    Skimpy sandwich at Phillys best for 14 bucks

    Paid almost $14 bucks for a cheese steak and let me tell you the meat portion is so small . Totally not satisfied. I remember when the sandwich's here were really good . I tried to give them a shot twice in the last 6 months. And both times were the same. Also I hate when the cook gets two orders and cooks the two portions of meat together and not separate. I always feel like the two portions are never equal in size when they are split after cooking. I did notice this on my order today. I have to say for price this sandwich lets me down I am still hungry

    McDonald's size fries and McDonald size meal at 3x the cost.

    I have Been a long time customer of Philly's Best. Closest Hogie I could get after moving from the East coast 25 years ago. Always ordered from here. But they don't care. And now removed items from their Hogie menu. I always complained pizza fries are way bigger of you done in their super small restaurant if you find a seat. Take out of pizza fries are super small compared to dine in. And now I can't even order a steak hogie because they can charge me way more for lettuce tomatoes and mayonnaise. Nope. I've been slowly ordering less from her. I will order nothing from her from now on. Sorry I hate to so see you go but you have zero customer loyalty.. you just lost a 25 year customer. .

    It's been a while since I had a Philly cheesesteak. I wanted to grab something quick and easy for dinner and was in lake forest. This came up as a suggestion and after eating I'm glad I decided to give it a try. Located in a business park off lake forest next to a round table pizza joint. Getting into the parking lot is a little of a challenge because there is no direct entrance from lake forest. However the ample available parking more than makes up for this shortcoming. Inside this place has been open for quite some time so it has an old school feel if you're into to that authentic time capsule dining experience. This is a sandwich shop so there are a limited amount of seats, then menu is presented on a big board in front of you and you have a view of the grill so you ca watch the process of getting your sandwich made. As far as food I ordered the Philly's best. One the regular way with slices of cheese peppers the other with "da wiz" with the liquid cheese. I actually liked the regular one better than DA wiz. But both were delicious. If you're looking for a great hot sandwich made to order definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

    I used to come here a ton when I lived in the area nearly a decade ago. On my most recent visit, I was really happy to see that it hasn't changed at all and is still just as good as I remember! Fast, affordable, yummy food. My cheesesteak came out piping hot and was loaded with meat and melty cheese wrapped in a soft bun. What's not to love! The menu is small and all of the items are basically the same (give or take 1 or 2 ingredients). I think there are maybe 1 or 2 cheesesteaks that have distinctly different flavor profiles. Just read the descriptions and pick your favorite one without overthinking it and you can't go wrong.

We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place.

What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

She said that it was a great tasting dish. I had the Chili Verde for the first time. The first bite was a bit off-putting. The meat seemed a bit off. Then I realized that most of the pieces of meat had a large amount of fat on them. I tried to trim off the fat as I ate the meat. The Verde sauce in this dish kind of shimmered from all the fat. There were beans, rice and tortillas accompanying this. The beans and tortillas were good. The rice was just ok. One of the workers was walking by. I asked him to come over and pointed to a large glob of fat on my plate. I told him that my food had lots of fat in it. He did not say anything. My wife then raved about how wonderful her fajitas were. I am not sure if he related my dissatisfaction to anyone but nobody came to our table to talk to me. I was very dissatisfied.

We used to have a Krave in our immediate hood, but it went bye bye in spite of being quite good. After checking Yelp I decided to bring dad here. KOLOSSAL DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER (medium-rare): -- I love that you can order temperature doneness and they got it close but just a bit closer to medium -- I like the caramelized onions or grilled onions options -- the garlic aioli is very nice and moderately garlicky or a tad under -- it came with lettuce -- this is a quality beef Waygu burger -- SUPER juicy and moist -- very tasty RATING = A Dad did the same but vetoed the cheese and ordered it "rare". He was a big fan as well but stated that if we do sides again, he will get a single burger only. The patties are 5 ounces per my online research. I may order mine "rare" since his hit the mark more visually for me. FRIES: -- good with the garlic aioli -- some crisp, some not -- pretty nice and taste like actual potato -- could use some salt but we can do that on our own or use garlic aioli and shine the sodium RATING = A- ONION RINGS: -- perfection on visual aesthetics -- awesome on taste -- nicely browned and crispy and piping hot -- one of the best in years -- again, great with garlic aioli RATING = A+ I do not think they have a wide variety of dipping sauces or unusual ones beyond the garlic aioli.

My kids mostly get the chicken tenders, which are some of the best I've ever had along with their ranch. Recently, I've discovered their breakfast menu, which they don't really talk about much but it's I think an all day thing. I have stopped in for the breakfast burrito with bacon on more than one occasion. Even when I don't get a chance to eat it right that moment, it stays warm for a long time and the eggs are cooked so well that there's still moist and delicious even if I can't get to it for nearly an hour. My only complaint if any is that it's almost too large. I need to separate into two different meals. Or share it with somebody else. I look forward to trying more breakfast items. My other mild complaint is that their chunky salsa is basically a pico de gallo with some jalapeños and not much of a salsa at all. I still scooped the tomato and onion pieces on my burrito to give it some cool texture but it's not what I would hope for for this nearly perfect breakfast burrito. Thankfully, I learned to bring my own hot sauce or salsa to make it work out. If they were to make their own salsa and it was as good as the rest of their selections that would take it to another level. Please try their breakfasts and let then know what you think.

Don't get me wrong, TK is still a decent place to get fresh burgers at a relatively good price, but I've just noticed that the execution is not what it used to be. The last couple of times I've visited this location in particular, either the patty was half raw or the sandwich had so much mayo that it wasn't edible. Mind you, I would tell the cashier that I don't want mayo in the burger but I don't think they heard me or put it down like they said they would. I've noticed a decrease in staff size so maybe that's why the quality of the food has dropped, because the workers are just trying to slam out orders--but at the end of the day if it becomes a consistent occurrence (and it has), then I can't always find an excuse to justify the quality drop. The setting of this location is similar to all other TKs that I've been to, a beach-y, ocean-side vibe that's never too over the top. All in all, if the execution of the food hadn't dropped as of late I'd be more than happy to give this place 4 stars at least, but regardless the food is good enough to kick a burger craving!
