Since we were craving Philly cheesesteaks, we were excited to find out they also have a Redondo Beach location. I ordered the regular 6" Philly cheesesteak and customized it with grilled onions, sweet peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. My husband decided to go for the large 12" Hawaiian Philly, which comes with teriyaki sauce, cheese, and pineapple, and he added mushrooms for an extra $0.75. I requested both sandwiches toasted, and they were still delicious even after the 10-minute drive home. The employee who took our order was especially kind and friendly. I really appreciated that he brought the food outside to me while I was waiting instead of making me come back in when it was ready. After reading other reviews, it sounds like I definitely need to try the garlic parmesan fries with my next sandwich order.

Updating since my last visit. Staff were friendly ,…read moresandwich and fries were just how I remembered them. Crispy garlic fries and the Philly cheesesteak with hot peppers! So good!! I did try calling ahead a couple times but there was no answer. When I arrived there was one person eating in the restaurant but no other guest. Would have liked to be able to place my order over the phone but all in all it was still a nice lunch.

Big Mike's puts out a solid cheesesteak -- the bread is perfectly soft, the beef is well-shaved,…read morethe cheese melts just right, and the seasoning hits that sweet spot without going overboard. The quality is genuinely there. My only complaint? The size doesn't quite match the price tag. You're paying a premium but leaving wishing there was a little more on the plate.

This is a great spot for philly cheesesteaks. Owners are from Philly and have tons of Philly gear…read moreon display at both locations. I like that they have all the variety of cheesesteaks you would expect to find in Philly (traditional, chicken, even pizza steak!) The sandwiches themselves were great and I like how garlicky the garlic fried can be but it's hard to keep well if it's done via delivery. Best to have it piping hot and fresh! The staff is nice and the orders came realtively quick. The prices are very reasonable. I'd want to come back to try the Italian sandwiches and other items they have! Both places are a tad bit small so you might have to find space somewhere else to eat especially during busy times.

Then he took my order and I saw him not change his gloves and touched the meat and bread for the sandwich's we ordered!!! So I asked him politely can he please change his gloves, the kid looked pissed that I called him out for his nasty habit and left out peppers and cheese on our sandwich only meat and very little, I also ordered extra sweet peppers and paid for it too!!! What a jerk for his nasty habit to not make my sandwich correctly!!! They absolutely lost my business!!! So gross, what are these employees doing behind customers back!! Not changing your gloves when mopping and touching food!!!! Disgusting!!!!!!

I was worried that it was too many sandwiches on such short notice. I hesitated but ordered anyways and hoped for the best. I can't comment on the location but it's not too far from my building. On to the food! I ordered the Famous Figueroa Philly with cheese whiz. Although the sandwich was soggy, you have to understand that this is a hefty sandwich, plus it did travel 15 minutes to me. It was filled with a good amount of meat. I could used more peppers and onions but I could only eat half the sandwich. It was delicious with the cheese whiz. This is not your mall sandwich. The food was hot the fries were crispy and had fresh garlic. The food was absolutely delicious! It was so worth taking the chance. I called after I placed the order to ask for jalapenos because my boss wanted them. They did not skimp on them or ketchup or buffalo sauce or napkins....YOU WILL NEED NAPKINS. This is a juicy sandwich. I'll take a picture of the entire order. I let him know that it was a big order and that if it did take longer we would understand. I placed the order at 10:40 and it came at exactly the time stated on Postmates. 11:45. That is awesome! Icing on the cake...I noted names on each sandwich order and they actually wrote them on there....some places would've just let us guess.... Thank you! Overall this is a place you need to try.

BEWARE EVERYONE. THIS RESTAURANT IS A SCAM AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR ORDER EVEN THOUGH THEIR KITCHEN…read moreIS PERMANENTLY CLOSED. I placed my order through their website, everything showed that their business is OPEN and running, nothing wrong. I arrive to 358 W 38th St and realize it's a food hub (multiple restaurants in one location) I call the restaurant to confirm my order and pick up time and the disrespectful service was what really made me write this review. He answers and says that the restaurant is CLOSED DOWN. The kitchen is not open and he cannot help me by explaining if there is an alternative location which I can pick up my food, goes ahead and says by good faith he will give me a refund and he hangs up. I attempted to try to see if anyone was here, the place is EMPTY. I rang the ring bell camera, no answer. I called back just to have the same person hang up on me 4 more times without taking the time to ask for my information to issue a refund, HE WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I clearly heard him taking an order while he was on the phone with me (he had me hold as soon as he answered) so why the unprofessional service? THIS IS A SCAM. There were more people in the parking lot trying to figure out how to get their food. This company should be ashamed of themselves for pretending to be in business and taking peoples money when they cannot provide a service. TO ALL ANGELENOS AND EVERYONE IN THE AREA MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU ORDER THROUGH ANY WEBSITE OR SERVICE YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND DISAPPOINTMENT.
