4.16.26: First time here and came for lunch right as they opened. My roommate is a Philly cheese steak lover and after some quick research, I found this place nearby. Of course, he went with the classic cheese steak to see what their original was like before delving into the other specialty ones they offer. I ordered the Dirty Hippie, which has no meat--double portions of both mushrooms and grilled onions, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and ranch on a fresh baked roll. For my sweet tooth, I also got a "Pop's brownie." The Dirty Hippie to me tasted pretty much like a cheese steak, but with no meat. So, they did do a good job of mimicking a real cheese steak. It was super hot, cheese was melted, and definitely noticed the double portion of veggies. The grilled onions had a good taste, however, they were really long and stringy, which reminded me of string spaghetti lol. Sandwich can get a little messy, prepare yourself with some napkins, and don't let it sit or it'll get soggy from the juices. My roommate thought his cheese steak was average, not bad but not the best he's ever had either. Pop's brownie was chocolatey and moist and a great way to end a flavorful lunch. The shack is located in a convenient spot and the lot has ample parking. Service was great. The woman helping us was friendly and even gave me a frequent buyer punch card since I told her it was my first time there. Fyi, Monday's are double punch days! I'm a cash-type of person anyway, but bring cash if you don't want to be charged $1 to use your card. read more

I don't say this lightly: this might be **the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had in my life**. From the moment it came out, you could smell the sizzling steak and melted cheese before even taking the first bite. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside but still soft and pillowy inside, holding everything together without falling apart. The steak was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, chopped just right so every bite had the perfect balance of meat, cheese, and bread. And the cheese... perfectly melted into the steak so it coated every bite instead of just sitting on top. That first bite was one of those moments where you pause for a second because it's just *that good*. By the halfway point I was already thinking about when I could come back for another one. I love "Mom" who is always friendly and fun to talk to while waiting. Please keep in mind each sandwich is made to order so please anticipate a little wait BUT WORTH EVERY minute of it. If you're a Philly cheesesteak fan, this place is absolutely worth the trip. Bold statement, but this sandwich sets the bar. read more

Delish!! Haven't had a Philly Cheesesteak in years- this was the best! We had The Lions Bite. Stop here, you won't be disappointed. read more

One of the absolute gems of Coeur d'Alene. This was not our first visit to here, but it did make us feel like why the heck haven't we stopped by sooner? It does take time to get your order, but honestly, there isn't a better cheesesteak styled sandwich anywhere around. I don't think anyone could convince me otherwise lol. It was also nice to see familiar faces inside, making our lunch up. This will always be a special treat when visiting. read more

A small side of the road kiosk serves great cheesesteak sandwiches. I got the 5 cheese and my boyfriend got the Yoshi cheesesteak. The bread is very fresh, not stale. The steak is great and good quality. I was impressed with the cheese wiz. I was expecting non flavorful bottled cheese wiz, but this was favor nacho cheese. I think the 5 cheese was too cheesy and I love cheese. You have to be ready for a mess. The Yoshi was a fantastic sandwich. It had Italian sausage, chopped steak, and pepperoni with provolone cheese. I loved the kick of the pepperoni. I want to try every sandwich!! Yummy read more

The price is just right. Sandwich was stuffed with meat and peppers, the perfect portion. Best Philly in CDA!! The service was excellent and they had treats for my dog. The building doesn't look like much but don't let that fool you. Didn't see any outside seating but that didn't bother us. Will definitely return when we're in the area. read more

Great service, even better sandwiches. Ordered a Pizza Philly and the Chicken Bacon Cheddar - both were delicious. Call ahead for take-out orders. This spot is an absolute must-try if you're in the area. Will definitely be back! read more

Philly Cheese was really good. Been to Genos in Philly and definitely as good. A bit pricy but worth it. Will be back.

Been happy every time. Will do it again. Cheesesteaks are probably the best I've had in the area

Tip: order ahead, otherwise you'll be waiting. Every time we show up we are met with the best customer service, so polite. I love it. Added bonus, she gave my dog a treat!!!! I have yet to have a sandwich I don't absolutely love. This time I had the hooligan, loved the added sauce to bring some heat. Perfectly cooked, the bread is to die for. I can't believe we don't eat here every day. Truly is the "best sandwich shack"!! read more

Yummy subs. What more is there to say? It's a sub shop on wheels. They give you a punch card. Friendly people! read more

They are the best when it comes to Philly Cheese Steak and I add mushrooms!!! Yummy, a must have read more

There simply aren't any more superlatives to add to what other Yelpers have already stated. It had been years since we ordered from here, and it hasn't changed a bit. Consistency is so very important to remain relevant in the competitive food biz, and these guys certainly have that covered. We took home three different ones, and as far as which was best....it was a 3-way tie. Boring assessment, I know, but it's the truth. Incredible sandwiches... read more

Not one to usually leave reviews, but this sandwich shop exceeded my expectations. I ordered their most popular Yoshi' sandwich, and it truly was incredible. Planning to return for the second time today. Highly recommend stopping by this spot! read more

Lives up to the name. They have a variety of cheesesteak-ish options (much more than just the classic steak) for between $10-$12 each. First good sign was the bag that the sandwiches came in weighed about 5 pounds for just two sandys. Next good thing was that these were just about the best tasting sandwiches I have ever had. Loaded with flavor and great bread holding it all together, hot with melted cheese on top. Final good thing was there was so much food that it became my lunch the next day and I didn't even get to eat the $1 brownie that was purchased with the sandys. Don't worry I ate that later and it was good as well. You need to go here, whether you live in CDA/surrounding area, or on the road passing through. read more

Best cheesesteak ever! They certainly don't scrimp on the meat or cheese. Quality incredients. Fantastic sandwich. 5 stars for sure!!! It's a drive through so you have to get it to go. Just a heads up. read more

This is my updated review, I loved the sandwiches at Best, I always recommend this food trucks sandwiches to any and all on the lookout for a great sandwich. This being said, our last visit still had the friendly staff but something has changed in the quality of meat - at least the chicken that's used in the Malibu. I completely understand covid, food chain issues and overall costs have risen substantially but, the chicken was MUSHY. Mushy like over processed meat..it had the consistency of tofu or water saturated canned chicken. I had my husband try it and he said just picking it up he could tell, saying as he picked it up it "squished " between his fingers. I'm not sure what was going on..or what it was. I would prefer to be given the option; 1. Either charge more for good chicken or 2. Let customers know it's been changed or the quality isn't available. I'd gladly pay more to have the old sandwich back. I ended up just feeding it to our dogs - an expensive dog treat. I really hope this is a passing thing, I truly miss this once great sandwich. read more

Update... still the best Philly we've ever had however we've tried to go back 3 times since then and they have been CLOSED all 3 times (during operating hours!) Today we drove all the way over because their hours said open and they were closed. Needless to say we won't be going back sadly because it's not worth the drive to show up and be closed. Darn! read more

I've had this on my Yelp list for three years, we'll be driving back soon!!! read more
