I ate here with a coworker and this was probably the best Philly cheesesteak I've had in California. My coworker and I agreed. They had a great flavor, quality meat, and the cheese was delicious. read more

Always good & friendly service. One of my husband's favorite places to eat in hemet. I love how it's not super greasy like normal Philly cheesesteaks are. Ask for the red pepper relish if you want to add a tang to your sandwich. We also like to order the fries with a side of nacho cheese. I'll have to try the chili fries one of these days. read more

For many years I kept reading the great reviews and though we live only a few miles away, never quite had the time to stop by until a recent Saturday afternoon while we were in Hemet. Big Daddy's is located in a small strip mall next to a car wash. Despite being after the noon lunch hour, parking was still a bit challenging and adjacent street parking is available if you can find a space to park. We ended up parking across the street in a public parking area. We walked in and were warmly greeted by a gentleman manning the counter. We placed our order for: 1- Original Cheesesteak Sandwich $12.50 1-Large Original Cheesesteak Sandwich $23.00 2-Canned Sodas $1.75 each Pre-tip Sub Total: $39.00 We sat a table and waited eagerly. In the meantime, multiple call ahead orders came in to pick up their orders and a few regulars stopped by to eat as well. The small dining area surrounded you with wall covered with all sorts of sport memorabilia and family photos. It was just a real nice, mellow dining vibe. The smells coming from the kitchen flattop behind the counter was making our mouths water with anticipation. In short time, our sandwiches were brought to our table. I was asked if I wanted some pepper sauce, of course, being a true chili head. That first bite into our first real East Coast style cheesesteak sandwiches was so good! The bread roll used is so soft and pillowy with the just the right amount of chew to it. It soaked up the juices from the steak meat and the added pepper sauce. Accompanied by the molten lava like melted white cheese, it was just a bite of sheer bliss. The red pepper sauce was a great addition to the sandwich. At first I thought it might have been a modified Asian Mae Ploy Sauce, but I don't think it was was. It was more of a chopped red pepper relish that I could eat on everything. It doesn't seem too hot at first, but it catches up with you soon. If Big Daddy sold this stuff in a bigger container, I would be buying it! After eating my Large sandwich I was really satisfied and full. It's basically double the size of the regular sandwich. My wife was just as happy with her sandwich too! It was a bit expensive of an expensive lunch for two, being close to $50 once tax and a tip were added, but it was worth the drive to Hemet to experience our first authentic cheesesteak and we will surely return here for another. read more

Big Daddy's - ##1. Original Cheesesteak and a root beer - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Hemet, California

A little hole in the wall kind of place! A gem if you will! I had moved to hemet for a rotation and it was hard to find good food spots that weren't the typical franchises. I am so glad I found this place during my lunch. The staff and dining experience felt very welcoming and homey like you came in to eat at your cousin's. Their cheese steak was so good! I got the original cheesesteak and added mushrooms to it. The fluffiness of the bread elevated the sandwich but I do wish they had more meat to cheese ratio, I just prefer the gooieness of it. But other than that, it was an amazing lunch with an amazing atmosphere! Def come try if you're in the area! read more

Got here and there was no line. The smell and ambience was inviting. Instantly had help upon walking through the door . Friendly smile , good service and food came out fairly quick. Update : The food was amazing! The pepper Philly cheese steak with the chili sauce was the perfect combination. The chili cheese fries was the perfect amount . Personally I'd prefer shredded cheese over the nacho cheese but overall it was still of good quality. read more

Big Daddy's - The best of all time !!! 10/10 recommend !! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Hemet, California

My family is from the east coast where we enjoyed Hoagies and meatball sandwiches. It's been years that we've been able to find a sandwich shop where it made us feel like home. Philly cheesesteak was a wonderful reminder of younger days, the meatball sandwiches ( no photo) gave you a homemade feeling and the sub was one of the best we've had since coming to the west coast. Very small shop with great prices and a warm welcome. Will definitely be our go to sandwich shop. read more

Awesome joint. An authentic tasting cheesesteak away from Philly. The portion size justifies the price. It's a good balance of meat with the onions and mushrooms. Got the large and only ate half, so enough for another meal. The bread is soft and not super greasy. Definitely deserves another visit. read more

Great cheesesteaks! I was a little surprised at the price of the large bit it is totally worth splitting. Bonus point for being in Hemet

This review is strictly do to the fact that I wasn't able to order. I walked in, 3 people sitting down only. There's two workers, neither decided to even bother to look up and greet as I enter or even acknowledge I was there. Mind you there have a bell that lets you know someone walked in. 7 minutes go by, I know because I was like man I know they have to know I've been standing here and just ignored me while the were both in the back. Finally the lady tells the young man to go up front. No greeting, just says are you here to pickup. I said no, I'm here to place an order. Again all while no eye contact says cool I'll be with you in a few minutes. What? I've been here for a while before even acknowledged, now I need to wait even longer? Crazy. They clearly didn't care for my business and if you're reading this, take this as a HUGE sign, they don't care for yours either. STAY AWAY, GO TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. YOUVE BEEN WARNED. read more

Updated Review - Big Daddy's Philly Cheesesteak I came back to Big Daddy's after a couple of years, and I'm so glad I did. The service was friendly and welcoming, and my food came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The cheesesteak was loaded and delicious, and the portions were generous. You can tell the owner and team really care about making things right and keeping customers happy. Big turnaround -- I'll definitely be back! ~ Ivy read more

I believe the family that owns and runs this business are what truly make everything about it spectacular! Every time I go into this Philadelphia-Crazed sandwich shop I am instantly greeted by smiling, welcoming people who are very helpful and kind. Those attributes extend beyond measure for me. Even if the food wasn't up to par, friendliness makes a difference enough for me that I would add stars because there's just not enough of that going around. Big Daddy's just happens to have both! An amazingly friendly bunch who make amazingly delicious cheesesteaks! You get the best of both worlds when you visit this joint. Sports on the TVs, Philadelphia memorabilia all over the walls, clean restrooms, happy people and killer food!! I love this place!! read more

Delicious food and great service. You must try the LeBron.. Great place with one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever tasted.

The Bomb! I've never been to Philadelphia, but this is the best.Phillyete, you sick sandwich.I've ever had anywhere. Family owned business and the gentleman that's usually working is always awesome. Support local! read more

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. My wife and I split the smaller cheese steak, onion rings and chili cheese fries. Everything was top notch and we felt satisfied with the portions. We liked that it is family owned and has a comfortable atmosphere that, while not fancy, is better than what you might expect from the location. Customer service was good - the man who helped us was kind and efficient. The sides are really well priced. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey for the sandwich but that's pretty much the case everywhere these days and it was worth it. read more

Delicious steak! Great customer service, very hospitable and I definitely recommend this place

Great family business and everyone is so friendly! They bake their own bread and make their own hot pickled peppers. I get their pepper cheesesteak almost every time, and it's to die for. In fact, I'm craving it right now! The bread is toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. The meat is tender and juicy. The sandwiches have plenty of meat, peppers and cheese. They do not skimp on ingredients! Don't forget to ask for the hot pickled peppers. It goes amazing with the sandwich! I come here almost every time I'm in town. I've been here at least a dozen times, if not more. I have also been here before and during COVID. They are consistently good! read more

The Philly steak sandwich was delicious. The service was great. The reason for 4 star it could have had a little bit more meat / bell pepper. Very clean. I had a great dining experience. I recommend read more

Located in a strip mall in a crummy area of Hemet. Simple decor, a few tables, lots of Philly decor on the walls. The son welcomed everyone who entered. I ordered the large cheesesteak with peppers, chili fries and a diet Coke, in a can as the pop machine is out of order. The cheesesteak with white American cheese was the best I've tasted outside of Philly! The meat seasoning was excellent, the roll fresh. The large is a 12 inch cut in half. The chili fries were very good (the chili was good) and cheap at $3.75. Only minor negative was the large cheesesteak is pricey at $22-24, double the 6 inch. read more

This is an incredible mom and pop shop for sandwiches, support your local businesses with these guys. Food fast and tastes amazing( got a BBQ chicken sandwich and some onions rings) the man at the front was very helpful when I had questions.. will be coming back read more

I always pass this place and always wondered how it was. I'm glad that I did. It was amazing. I ordered a 2 cheesesteak with peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Unfortunately, I can't have dairy but it still tasted amazing. The steak was nice and tender. The mushrooms I would have loved to be cooked a little longer but it was delicious, nonetheless. Next time, I will order the Large one instead of getting 2 regulars. The chili sauce they offer was vinegar based but adds a perfect balance to the sandwich. The service was great. He answered all the questions I had and was very kind. They do have inside dining. It is pretty small inside but there were a few tables available. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Easily one of the (if not the) best restaurants in the area. That red relish they have is absolutely on point as are the cheese steaks.

Earlier this year I discovered this special sandwich shop and finally found Philadelphia heaven right here in Riverside County!! That was after 20 years of searching. There is not a sandwich on the menu that didn't have me yearning to return. And it's not just my east coast tastebuds...I bought a dozen to bring back to my California-bred staff and they too are asking for another round. Thanks so much Big Daddy and team. read more
