Clean place and friendly staff. The place was well kept and the service was good. The ladies on the grill made the food come out fast and everything was fresh off the grill. I ordered the cheesesteak fries and they were really good. The fries were crispy, had a lot of meat, and enough cheese on top. Definitely worth it and I'd come back again.

Feels like I'm back in Philadelphia again :')

Found it! Can't believe there is an authentic real Philly cheesesteak AND hoagies place in SoCal. Located in a typically sized strip mall, surrounded by other small eateries is this gem :) My eyes teared up just a bit because I thought I was home the moment I walked through the door. That smell, just like Wawa used to make it. The customer service is so friendly. Hank's soda! If you are sick of the cheesesteak then have the hoagie, and get it without the bacon, you don't need that in your life. (Healthier) Philly style it with everything (condiments I mean) support your local small business and feed a far away friend :) Found another home away from home

The food is amazing huge portions wonderful service and lovely place Definitely I will come back

I don't usually review fast casual chains but this Philly's Best location warrants a 5-star review so more people go here. It's my go-to for a Philly Cheesesteak hoagie in North OC. They are consistently well done and the service is good. The seating area is very clean and comfortable. If you're in the area, support this local franchise location. You won't be disappointed.

Pepper cheesesteak with cheese and onions.

I have been coming to Philly's Best for years and the food and service have always been excellent. I usually pick up a sandwich to take back home but I was out running errands and had to pickup something from CVS next door so I decided to dine in this time. The restaurant is very clean and the air conditioning feels great on a hot day. There are a few TVs with sports on as well. I like that they have an ordering kiosk which you can use to quickly place an order if there is a line to order at the register. Their staff is very friendly and greeted me upon arrival and thanked me when I left. I am a creature of habit and always order a pepper steak with cheese and onions. The bread is always super fresh and has a great taste. The sweetness of the peppers pairs well with the delicious meat and gooey cheese. The sandwiches are a pretty good size also. Whenever I get it to go, it is wrapped in foil and is still very hot when I get back home.

Best Philly's Cheesesteak Sandwiches in town, hands down!! Service is always amazing! Music is great!!!

Steven was so nice -- he was very personable and seemed to keep calm during a busy rush of customers. I recently came here and ordered a pepper cheesesteak and was so excited to try it. I added grilled onions and cheez wiz. Unfortunately there were no peppers on my pepper cheesesteak, but it was still delicious. I did have to pay an extra $1 for the pepper cheesesteak, but hopefully the next time I visit it'll be just as good with all the ingredients! The place is small and intimate with a few tables to sit at and eat, but people were happily eating there and enjoying their meals! I'd go back for sure.

I eat a lot of cheesesteaks. This place has real cooper sharp cheese and is legit. I highly recommend it for the great service as well as the food. Get the Philly Philly with cooper sharp and thank me later. This place blows Matu away...

I just ordered the Philly's Best with Pepperoni, and it's not my first time at this store and definitely not my last. I love the Philly's Best Franchise but this store specifically has always had the most fresh tasting sandwiches and Shout out to the employee Joud, she for real the fastest person I've seen on the Grill.

Stopped by and had the mushroom cheese steak and onion rings. The place was pretty busy but moved quickly. Food was delicious and fair prices! Friendly staff. Would recommend and would come back!

My thumb next to the sandwich so you can see when I say small, it's small

Great service and sandwiches! Today as Huge Hat fan I decided to try the Pastrami sandwich and they made it per my request with extra mustard and pickles. I will say this; The Hats sandwiches are much bigger B U T!!!! The Pastrami here was succulent, and not nearly as fatty as The Hats, so you must decide do you want quantity or quality? I will most certainly be back and ask for extra meat which I am sure they would offer. Also, the roll they use is heavenly as well! So if you like Pastrami try this and you tell me if I am wrong. Thanks kids!

I have never once left this place unsatisfied or upset. Everything here is so fresh and tasty! Service is fantastic, all the employees are so friendly and kind towards customers. Food is delicious! 10/10, totally recommend eating here! :)

Ordered 4 subs & fries through doordash. One sub had a piece of melted plastic inside.

At first glance was a welcoming clean ambiance both inside and outside, the gentleman who took my order greeted me with a warm "Hello & Smile." As a newcomer, I was somewhat rushed and opted for what I believed to be the Philly Best cheesesteak. The sandwich was generously loaded with sweet peppers, excluding the mushrooms, and served on an Amoroso soft roll. It was delectable! Additionally, I ordered a South Philly Thinly sliced steak salad cooked to order with melted white American cheese, on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, and onion straws. It was exceptionally flavorful. I noticed the Hanks Root Beer sodas and decided to add a few to my order, as they complemented our lunch perfectly. My only regret was not taking pictures to share. However we have now added this establishment to our list of local favorites. read more

So sad, we have been going since the first week they opened. We went last night. Staff was friendly, but the food was horrible advertisement for new great cheese and all they do is put a blob up in your sandwich and you get this big old blob of cheese when you eat it nowhere near the same thing the meat was dry and overcooked no flavor to the meat. They did some remodeling look good but we definitely won't be back. We missed the old owners. read more

I got the regular Philly steak sandwich with bell peppers and mushrooms, but the cheese is kind of weird. It's like crumbled up and it taste different. I did call the place to ask what kind of cheese they put in it and I guess it's melted when she said I know it's very different from the other places. The cashier was super nice and the place is really clean. I just wouldn't get it again. Like grandma and the block of Orange read more

Philly cheesesteak with mushroom and onions and bag of fries. Great cheesesteak. Loaded with meat and had just the right amount of cheese and married with grilled and raw onions and mustard. The fries look like potato cut and not frozen. Hot and tasty. The gal taking the order was efficient and asked all the right questions no matter how tired I was and made a great recommendation on getting both grilled and raw onions. The interior is a bit small but it looks like a take out place and I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Lots of booths to sit in. We order our regulars of pastrami sandwiches on white with mustard smothered inside and a side of au juis, onion rings and fries. We actually didn't eat there but took it to go. Ordering was easy. Service was quick. We only waited less than 10 minutes for our order... way faster than the drive thru line. Food was still warm by the time we got home. The onion rings and fries didn't make it that far since we ate those right away. Always yummy at The Hat.

Do not be fooled by my photo LOL. It is indeed NOT FAT. They're very light on the sauces. The dutch bread is fireee asf and honestly the saving grace of this sandwich. Service: 5/10 The staff were pretty timid, but they were nice. They took LONG ASF to make three little sandwiches. Bro, 30+ minutes?? For some sandwiches??? This is coming from someone who's worked food service. They weren't even busy fam. They had like 2-3 dine-in customers that already had their sandwiches and like 2 online orders. Also, some of the tables were dirty. Had to clean ours with a napkin. Ambiance: 6/10 The interior design was pretty nice. It did feel quite empty inside. The arrangement of the tables is pretty sporadic. They could definitely convert the tables into booths with all the space they got, but it seems like they don't get a lot of foot traffic. Parking lot was quite small, but my friends and I had no issues finding a spot. TDLR: Sandwiches aren't worth the price. If you don't care about prices, have at it. I wouldn't come back here purely because our sandwiches took 30+ minutes to come out as dine-in customers. Parking lot is small but found no problem finding a spot.

I've been coming here for a few years now, and the food and service have consistently been…read moreexcellent. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that truly feels like a neighborhood favorite rather than a chain restaurant, which makes the experience even better. The standout dish for me is the shrimp and scallop pasta with their Italian sauce. The combination of white wine and lemon gives the sauce a light, bright flavor that pairs perfectly with the scallops and shrimp, both of which are always cooked beautifully. One recommendation I'd make is swapping the pasta for angel hair. I think the more delicate texture would complement the sauce even better and help soak up every bit of flavor because trust me, you'll want every last bite. If you're planning to visit Friday through Sunday, I highly recommend making a reservation since wait times can get pretty long. Strong recommendation if you're looking for a stellar local Italian spot with consistently great food and welcoming service.

# 5/5 Stars - A Hidden Gem for Philly Steak Lovers! I stumbled upon this small, family-owned Philly steak restaurant, and I'm so glad I did! The moment I walked in, I felt like I was part of the family. The warm and cozy atmosphere, combined with the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen, set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The steak sandwich I ordered was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the roll was soft and freshly baked. The toppings were fresh and plentiful, and the cheese was melted to perfection. read more

I've been going to this and the Tustin Philly's for close to a decade. It is hands down the best place for a cheese steak. In fact, it is the only decent cheese steak place I know of. The Amorosa rolls are unequaled in sandwich shops around here. The same people have been working up front for years, so I don't think they're under new ownership and I've not seen the portion sizes change. read more

The BEST Phillys Cheesesteak EVER!!! Clean, small eating environment. Best to eat in, gets a little soggy on the drive home other wise. Always fresh, hot and yummy food. Variety of options. Can be a bit pricey typically $20+ for 2 sandwiches, fries to share(they are big enough for 2) and 2 drinks. read more
