My first time having Philly's Best located in San Dimas. They have multiple locations and it has been around since 1992. I ordered lunch for a few friends through the online website portal and picked it up. Everything went on smoothly and I got it quite fast. The sesame bread and meat were so tasty! I enjoyed having the mushrooms with the meat inside. You can pick your toppings and everything. They also have other styles if you don't want a cheesesteak you can get a club or even meatballs! A friend ordered a chicken option and all my friends really liked it. It was a great first-time experience and I can't wait to come back and try more options. Oh yeah, the fries are super delicious! They are crispy and just the right taste. read more

Your faithful Yelp correspondent considers himself an expert on Philly Style Cheesesteaks. So when I heard about the once and former king of SoCal Hoagies unveiling their new Cooper Sharp Cheesesteak, featuring extra sharp American white cheese on a seeded roll AND named after famous actor and native Philadelphian Bradley Cooper...I hadta sample it. Grammar hawks among you will discern my use of past tense when referring to Philly's Best former seat atop the throne of SoCal Hoagie establishments. My decision is borne from well considered experience: West Coast Cheesesteaks (WCC), the cozy, family-run Glendora proprietor featured on TV, is the undisputed king of Cheesesteaks. But alas, Philly's Best has nominated a new entrant for the throne and it's my duty as your faithful Yelp Correspondent to report. For starters- Bang for Buck...or lack thereof. My sandwich was $16.05 before taxes. For a dollar less, WCC will equip your plate with a larger, beefier hoagie that genuinely demands the full "two fisted approach" to eat it. The Cooper Classic is very much like its Tinseltown namesake- Looks fabulous...but if you're expecting a performance that would have (multiple Oscar winners) Daniel Day-Lewis or Meryl Streep jealous? Keep looking. The Cooper sando's biggest selling point is the seeded exterior. The so called sharpness of the cheese is hugely debatable. I thought it'd be better with provolone. As you can see from the side photo, Philly's Best hardly did their best to stuff their hoagie with copious amounts of steak. For over-promising with their tantalizing imagery then under-delivering with a hoagie that struggles to deliver bang for buck...I award Philly's Best 3 stars. read more

The food (sandwiches and fries) is always delicious, however the service at the register can sometimes be spotty. The gentleman at the grill (maybe the owner) is always on his game and turns out fantastic sandwiches. They sell Tastykake products, including the Butterscotch Krimpets, but it's not always in stock. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and plenty of parking. read more

I heard really good things about this place. Unfortunately I think it's over rated. There was nothing special about the meat or bread. The bread tasted really plain and the entire sandwich was not worth it. It was good, but it wasn't excellent. It was also super hot inside the store as if the AC broke. The service was fast but I was the only customer in there. read more

Never been to Philadelphia so I don't know how a real Philly Cheesesteak taste like. But people I know that's been there say it tastes like back home in Philadelphia. The food is good .. the cheesesteak are fantastic. Get the onion rings super good. Service is great too. read more

Good cheesesteaks. I believe they import Amoroso rolls from Philly. They have a quite decent discount on 7th, 17th, 27th, tho we'll go other days. I recall the fries and onion rings being good too, tho I don't usually get them because I do 'to-go'. They also have a loyalty card to stamp. We only stick to 1 plain and one with onions and hot peppers but grilled pepper and mushroom is good too. They have other variations like Buffalo chicken, but haven't tried. Service is quick and friendly enough, though you do need to allow for it to be freshly griddled. They have snack cakes from Philly but I didn't grow up with that so not appealing to me. read more

Always reliable chicken is tender not dry. Beef is tender not dry. Great prices on $7 on 7 Day. read more

I typically go to the Fountain Valley location, which is so amazing and consistent. I was visiting my dad in La Verne and was happy to learn that there was one in San Dimas. I wanted my dad to try these sandwiches (especially the Cooper Classic) my new fave! But, sadly, the ones at this location fell very short of the ones at the FV location. First, I noticed that once the sandwiches were done and set on the counter, instead of wrapping them up right away to keep them hot, the guy just left them sitting and I had to ask the guy to wrap them. Second, the sandwiches had at least a third less amount of meat. The bread, not super soft. My dad didn't say anything but I could tell he wasn't super impressed, trying PB for the first time. Disappointing. Not sure if these 2 locations have different owners but this location could use some pointers from FV read more

Best Philly sandwich ever! Love getting the peppers. Super seasoned and so delicious if I could eat it daily I would

This place has been a favorite of our family for almost 15 years! The employees are super nice, but the food, THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!!!! WE GET THE PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS, which have soft rolls, piping hot provolone cheese, tender steak sliced very thin to Protection, and dice onion. Im starting to drool right now as I type this! Soooo yummy! Its hot and melty and huge sandwich. I also get the hot pickled peppers on the side to top my sandwich with a kick. We also share a nacho cheese fries, which has the best golden super hot fries smothered in liquid nacho cheese that is flavorful and to die for! Yum yum yum!!! [We come in 2-3 times a year only because it's not healthiest food and we like to spend a lot of time at the beach or pool. Gotta stay in shape!! ;-)] But it's definitely our favorite fast food cheat day spot for sure!!! read more

Ordered my food for pick up for Super Bowl Sunday, and everything I ordered was correct. Philly tasted just as expected and I was provided a generous portion of fries in my opinion. The only thing I would say as an area for growth is how the male staff acted when I entered the establishment to pick up my order. I walk into the business, many people made eye contact with me as if they've never seen a human being before and when I approach the register that had a man standing there, he looks at me, says nothing, walks away and asks a woman (who seemed to have had been working on a task) to see what I needed. Food was solid, but I felt uncomfortable being in there personally. The woman that helped me was cool though. read more

I do love the sandwiches here. But last time I walked in there were several men with long beards behind the counter. Sorry but without putting your beards in hairnets , I'm not risking it. Very unappetizing. read more

Always very welcoming! The Phillips best hits the spot. It is definitely our go-to place!

This place was pretty good, very no frills, straight to the point. The cheesesteak itself was really good. The bread was very soft, the meat was flavorful and the cheese was actually very tasty! I also got a side of Whiz and I think that helped set off all the flavors... it was like 1.49 extra though which seems a little high to me. I came in during the lunch hour and they had a steady stream of customers but I wouldn't say it was ever busy. The bathrooms were clean, you have to manually put the toilet flusher down and up for it to stop but not a huge deal. A lady did spill like her entire drink on the floor while I was there and they cleaned it up very quickly and throughly which was great because a decent amount of elderly people were in and out of here. They had 3 tvs which give ya something to do while you're All in all I'd say my review is like a 4.5ish just because I wasn't blown away by the service or atmosphere.. it wasn't bad but it just wasn't amazing!' read more

I have been to Philadelphia and had BOTH Geno's and Pat's so I know cheesesteaks. There is no better cheesesteak than here at Philly's Best. Surely I must be employing figurative language known as hyperbole? NO! It starts with Amoroso rolls imported from the City of Brotherly Love. It's an Italian roll slightly crusty on the outside but soft inside. The meat (looks like ribeye) is sliced thin then shredded on the flattop and cooked with the peppers and onion (if you want them). They throw the cheese on there too and mix it all up. (Some places just put the cheese on the bun separately and I don't like it as much). It's juicy and very flavorful. So simple but one of the best things on the planet, like an In N Out burger! The onion rings are really good, they are cooked enough so the onions become sweet and have a thick batter. I always salt them hot. Great place that was started in Fountain Valley in the early 90's! read more

Philly's Best - Standard cheesesteak with onion rings. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - San Dimas, California

Don't want to give details of my order I want to remain anonymous Pretty disgusting. Person that rang my order not give me change or receipt Many order came with fries. Got no fries Will not return They think they think they are entitled to tip. On small to go order. That's enough for me not to return read more

I was on my way back to Los Angeles, and was looking for a quick bite when I stumbled upon this establishment. I stopped by not expecting much but to my surprise I was blown away. Service was good from the greeting to my exit. It's actually a nice vibe inside. Clean and well maintained nice decorations. I'm a Steelers fan so I have to hate on the eagles respectfully . I ordered the pepper cheesesteak and fries and everything was delightful. From the well seasoned and tender steak to the sweet and savory peppers to the crispy fries salted to perfection. Best cheesesteak I've had in socal thus far. read more

If Philly's Best truly embodies cheesesteaks and Philly, that's a pretty good reflection of authenticity at least on the culinary level. Bill Burr has skewed my conception of Philly based on the 15+ minute roast of the city! The cheesesteak came out the way I wanted. All I wanted was the meat, provelone, mayo, and mustard. I added cheese fries, and the meal was done right. I had a great lunch, and there was nothing to mark down on the experience. When I walked in, one of the cooks asked what he could get for me and asked if there was anything I wanted to add to the sandwich. That's great service just to make sure my order is good to go. The two gentleman working, taking orders, and cooking were super chill and great at helping each other out with cooking the meat, dropping the fries, and just making sure that the business was seamless. I ended up sitting at the bar to enjoy my lunch, and it really hit the spot. Simple interaction on my way out saying goodbye to the owner and hearing thanks for coming by. That makes me want to come back eventually when I'm in the mood again for this sandwich. As far as comparisons are concerned, I would say that West Coast Cheesesteaks in the area does come out ahead with the quality of its sandwich but gets knocked on not having fries and only offering tots, so give and take for both! read more

I ordered "Philly's Best" with provolone and grilled onions added. This is what I got; a sandwich with grilled onions, and mushrooms. Where's the peppers? Why does only half my sandwich have cheese? Lol read more

Absolutely love this place! My wife and I just tried it for the first time and we ordered off UberEats. It did not disappoint! I got the classic Philly cheesesteak, swapped out the white cheese for provolone cheese, and added mushrooms, YUM! Onion rings were cooked to perfection and it was accompanied by a side of ranch, so you can't go wrong. Definitely ordering again! read more

Absolute garbage they must be on drugs at this place they do not know what a damn cheesesteak sandwich is as soon as I seen the sandwich how small it was and the bread and the meat and I took a bite I was in trouble !! DO NOT GO HERE !!!!!! read more

Food was too little of quantity too expensive didn't taste that great I wouldn't really recommend this to people quantities is very small read more

So there's a lot of reviews here on the service. I wasn't the one picking up the food, so I don't have anything to comment on that. But I can talk about the food and the price. Apparently today was one of their deal days. Every 5th, 15th, and 25th they have a deal on their cheesesteaks for $5.99/each. This seems like a great deal. I was hungry and excited to try it. I wasn't disappointed. My Cheesesteak came with a little American cheese and some whiz cheese, peppers and mushrooms (which were no additional charge). It was wrapped nicely and put in a white paper bag. When I opened it, it was still nice and hot but cooled down just enough to eat. I really enjoyed the mixture of the cheeses and biting into the mushrooms was the perfect touch. I'll definitely be wanting these again, especially on a 5, 15 or 25 :) read more

This location is so disgusting and dirty. They leave the food sitting there just ready and not made fresh they said the fryer was broken so we couldn't order fries. But the employees are not sanitary at all and it smells like sewage. I will not be coming back to this location read more

This place, for being like a "fast food" cheesesteak/sandwich place is pretty good. I've had the original cheesesteak, to the pepperoni, to mushrooms and their all really good. Price is fair, not too pricey but not a steal either. I go here whenever I'm craving a warm sandwich and quick. 1 order might be able to be split into 2 people. read more

When I was still working in San Dimas, I dropped by this cheesesteak place for lunch a few times. Of course, this was when I was still eating beef LOL. I no longer eat beef so I don't visit this place anymore. But when I did eat beef, their infamous cheesesteak sandwiches were really tasty and flavorful. Loved their grilled onions! You're probably wondering why am I writing this review if I no longer eat here. Well, let's just say it's a long over due review... like a decade old long LOL. Anyway, check them out when you're in the San Dimas area. Have an extra cheesesteak sandwich for me... would you please LOL. Happy Cheesesteaking! read more

Solid Philly sandwich every time. I love the chicken Philly with mushroom and peppers.

Like the food was ok. Not good enough to pay the amount of money I paid for two sammiches. For two meals it was 50bux. Like yikes. No thank you. read more

I came in yesterday afternoon for a brief lunch. Ordered a Philly cheesesteak, suddenly glanced over to the kitchen area and immediately noticed the cashier touching and cutting my sandwich with his bare hands. I've never witnessed anything like this before I was pretty turned off and don't see myself coming back here anymore. read more

It's okay. $11.99 for a moderate sized cheese steak and nothing Philly about it. Add fries and a soda and you're looking well over $20. All of that and the dismissive "I hate my life"lady behind the counter was bean counting the number of napkins I took telling me she gave me napkins (2). Well I needed more. Lady if you don't like your job then go find something else. Don't bring your shitty attitude to work. read more

The owner is a hard working guy who's always there. Best days are their busiest...where they offer their Philly for $7 on the 7th Support him and enjoy the food! read more

This place has changed. The sandwich still has good flavor but hardly no meat. And that's what I would brag about how much meat I won't be back that's what used to make this place special I don't live in San Dimas so this is too far to drive for bread like I said the flavors there just not the meat read more

Yum! Always saw this place but was leery about trying it - thought, what if I get a piece of gristly meat? *My fears were unwarranted!* Soft amoroso roll, very tender minced steak, yummy cheese and sweet peppers and mushrooms! So good I picked up sandwiches two nights in a row! They have chicken if you do not like steak, plus hoagies and sides. read more

Why oh why do i always take so long to try good places! LOL Philly's Best has been in my bookmarks for so long that when I searched it up this morning - cobwebs were all up in the way. This location is in a cute but dangerous plaza (dangerous because it kills my wallet with target, daiso & trader joes LOL) walking into the establishment - there were a few tables outside and quite a few inside - including the counter, which i thought was cute. Im an eagles fan - my man is a HUGE EAGLES fanatic so this place immediately felt like home, lol. We got 2 phillycheesesteaks with cheese whiz, an order of fries (which i deeply covered with old bay) and a large soda. It was delicious. The bread is my favorite. Amorosos are so deliciously good and completes the sandwich. Definitely coming back - service was great as well. The 2 girls working were really nice and helpful. read more
