Fun facts: My husband lived out in Philly during his high school years. One of his favorite foods to this day is a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich. There is only one place in CA he gets his sandwich from, and that is Philly's Best Cheesesteaks. Their sandwiches are HUGE! And they are very generous with their meat. I usually get their Philly Hoagie, which is basically their same Philly cheesesteak but with lettuce and tomato. Loaded alongside generous portion of thin sliced beef, and melted cheese, I have to agree their sandwiches are good. I have yet to step inside their restaurant (we usually order it to go), but we have no problems ordering and eating it at home. The sandwiches are still warm and so tasty, even after the drive back. Their cheese fries and extra cheese sauce are also to die for. If you can't make it Philly, let Philly's Best bring back memories of their cheesesteaks for you. They are the best! read more

Philly's Best Cheesesteaks - Cheesesteak Hoagie and oh - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

3 Stars in "OK". My wife recently had a work trip to Philadelphia and brought me back a sandwich from Chickie's & Pete's she got from the Airport, she had it earlier in the week when she was at the bar with her colleagues. She was told that the traditional Philly Cheesesteak from the classic Geno's and Pat's is for the older palette and there are better options these days that have improved upon the original (still) delicious sandwich. Any way, The sandwich my wife got me was amazingly good, so the next afternoon I had to go grab an sandwich from Philly's Best just to do a comparison while the flavors was still fresh in my mind. As you see in my star rating, it was just alright, it's good, the bread was pillowy and the beef was beef, the cheese was gooey, but in comparison it just doesn't compete. It's been many years since I've had Geno's or Pat's, but I do remember Philly's Best being a very good option for a good Cheesesteak in the west coast. Maybe my tastebuds have changed. Maybe the owner/s of this franchise should go check out the Philly local scene and see what the other offerings are. All that said, I will still grab a sandwich from Philly's Best once in a while, it's bread, beef (mushrooms & peppers) and cheese. What's not to like as long as you don't tell your doctor. read more

I was here for a craving and they make really good cheesesteaks so I got the usual. There was a happy hour going on so I ended up ordering another sandwich. I think if you show up before like 4pm the sandwiches are like $10.50 instead of like $13.99+ Overall, super delicious eating it there. Staff was super friendly and helpful in telling me about their promos. He gave me some suggestions on favorites and his favorites. read more

Not my typical meal I usually eat. I thought a sandwich would be too much. I was thinking it would be an overload of meat so I decided to get the Cheesesteak Fries and that wasn't a wise choice. I didn't realize it had "Wiz" because I probably wouldn't have ordered it, although it clearly stated that in the description. Oh well. It definitely tasted like processed cheese because it is and it was drenched and smothered with it. My meal weighed a ton and a half! But now I know what to avoid. I liked the sandwich better and should have just gotten the sandwich. read more

I've been coming to Philly's Best Cheesesteaks for at least three years now. My go-to order is the Philly Classic Cheesesteak - thinly sliced steak with ooey gooey melted white American cheese on an Amoroso roll. So good and filling. Love the chewy bite from the bread. It comes together with cheesesteak and cheese. I also added grilled onions. read more

A masterclass in how a local coffee shop should be run. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, the facility is spotless, and the service is genuinely friendly. Incredible pour-over coffee, high-quality ingredients, and consistency every single time you walk in. Easily one of the best spots in town. 10/10. read more

Service was fast (it helped that I pre-ordered). The restaurant was clean and busy. The staff were no nonsense (not especially friendly but not rude). The sandwich was delicious! The bread was soft but with a good chewy texture. The helping of beef strips to peppers and cheese was just right. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great service and very good food the best food Phillies best right here in Santa Ana freaking great. These guys are great thanks guys. I'll be back. read more

Under new management!! The sandwiches were always ok. How do you go wrong with thinly sliced steak and cheese on an original Philadelphia roll? But it's better!! And they have changed the fries. They might not be as authentic but they taste better . I can't wait to try the onion rings. And the kosher pickles are delicious. The dill is good too, but kosher is better! Delicious!! read more

I've been going to Philly's Best since they opened in Fountain Valley and it's always been really good. I have to confess I don't go to this location that often even though it's pretty close by. Well, I need to put this spot on the regular rotation because my god the sandwich I had there last night was absolutely bonkers delicious. I did the pepper steak with onions and instead of doing fries or chips I added extra steak for $4.99. I should've taken a picture, it was the biggest most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Guys, I have had the cheesesteak at Matu (different world apart) but this honestly was incredibly good and made right. Absolutely delicious! Staff was super friendly. Store was spotless. In fact they were cleaning when I walked in. Anyway, this spot should have way more than 3.5 stars. It's a very solid spot, well worth a weekly visit thanks!!! read more

Customer service was great! Clean all around & best sandwiches! Added the cheese and bacon fries! read more

Philly's Best Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Ok let me say I've been to this branch many times and the food and service was excellent! However, today I stopped in to order my usual the Classic Italian for $13.49. I was greeted by a girl by the name of Adelynn Adame. She took my order and looked like she a new employee, the way she worked the register. I gave her my order and she asked the usual, do I want tomato & lettuce, mayo & mustard and oil & vinegar. I said only mayo & mustard and the meat & cheese. She charged me $16.37. I hmm it went up in price a little. I reviewed the receipt and noticed I was charged $1.49 for Cooper Sharp. I didn't even know what that was. I asked if she was new, she said no. I asked why I'm paying an extra $1.49. She it was a different cheese. I said you didn't ask me if I wanted that. I said I just want the Classic which comes with provolone. She argued with me and didn't even apologize for making an error. RUDE!! I said I'd like my $1.49 back. Took a few minutes to calculate, I don't know why. So she gave me back $1 and said where's my .49 cents. She stared at me and then counted out the money. I'm not pleased with my last visit. She left me feeling irritated! At least admit you made a mistake, and own it! I would of felt heard! But no she was still put off by my confrontation. Money is tight these days. Sure $1.49 isn't a big deal, but it's the principle of the matter. Not a happy customer. Again let me say I've bought food there several times. Madelyn needs to check attitude! Store on Tustin & 17th Stree. read more

Kinda disappointed with the taste with the 3 sandwiches I bought. If you buy this through a food app, you must check salt and pepper otherwise their beef lack of flavor. Wish they would caramelized their onions rather than a few seconds grill onion read more

STAY AWAY! RIP OFF! Stay away from this location, Consistently messing up food orders and giving people there food incorrectly check there reviews I'm not the Only customer this has happened too ano to top it off they refuse to remake the food and or give a refund even with a receipt in hand. I came to this location and received a sandwich that came out incorrectly and was missing the tomatoes and lettuce and the Bead was soaked on half the side. Our order number was 81 we ordered our food around 7.20pm this location closes at 8 by the time received the food and arrived at home to see our food was incorrect we didn't have enough time to go back to fix the order cause they were closed. We call the next day as soon as they open to let them know about the issue, We explain the situation to the employee who contacts the owner and the owner absolutely refused to do anything to help, didn't offer a refund or a remake didn't even apologize for the mistake and instead provided me with an email that doesn't work and I was told to email them my complaint. when trying to do so the email fails to send cause the email does not exist which is Cheesesteaksisna@gmail.com when calling back to Ask for another email and telling this this one doesn't exist I'm told thats the correct one and i was not provided another form of contact, This place is a headache and isn't worth that hassle, There food is expensive and its unfair how they treat there customers and take there hard earned money only to be given the incorrect order and be denied compensation, they don't care about there customers, all they care about is there money,not the loyal people who make this business run and operate, I'm not the only Customer either check the reviews from just a few months ago other people complaining about the same issue of missing items and incorrect sandwiches or missing toppings multiple times. it's very disappointing and unprofessional. I don't recommend this location at all and wouldn't want another customer to get ripped off. read more

Ordered to go and the food was done very quickly. The service was great as well. I totally recommend their club sandwich, it was so good!!! It also saved a lot better then the Philly did. The Philly got a lil soggy but that was expected since I got it to go. Would totally try this place again. read more

While their cheesesteaks are delicious, they also make a healthier option - their hoagies. Today I had the Ham and cheese hoagie. Boars Head ham (a ton!), lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. I had them put oil and vinegar on, but could have gotten mayo, mustard, or dressing. The sandwich was wonderful. The bread is the soft Amoroso rolls (awesome) and hit the spot for a great lunch! All for $11.99 (their standard Hoagie price right now). They have many other hoagie options (Italian, roast beef, turkey, etc.). Good location and plenty of parking. read more

The place In there sucks it was nice a couple years ago, the young guys who run it are really nice to me but the manager he's so greedy charging for sauces I mean already 14$ for a sandwich did I mention Subway has 6$ whole combo meal next door you guys shouldn't waste your money here with a person that charges for sauces the workers are nice though one of the tv doesn't work either there's also some guy playing music and on the phone with his family always Spanish speaking,so much for ambience I think this place needs a new owner this guy looks lazy been seeing the same sign outside with the same marker looks old don't waste your time here read more

The cheesesteak was good. I would come back for it again. The bead was a little tough not much. I asked for well done fries. And they where not. It was partly my fault I did not take them back. I was lazy. I would go back there. I would just ask for the meat less done and fries well done. It's a pulse in my book. . read more

True confessions I was headed to a very close by deli that closed early, so stopped into this establishment and ordered their cold cut Italian sandwich with everything on it and omg BOmB!! Boars Head meats, awesome dressing, fresh veggies, cherry pepper relish. What a bite! If you are craving something a bit lighter than cheesesteak, try this baby! read more

I came here for lunch craving a cheesesteak sandwich. The service I received was a bit lack luster. I don't know if she was having a hard day but she did not present approachable. I also ordered the full pepperoni Cheese steak with the grilled veggies and when I got it... did not have any grilled veggies. I also asked about the complimentary pickles as advertised on the menu and she looked at me like she did not know what I was talking about. I've been to numerous Philly's best locations but this one just hits the mark. Service is rough, messed up my order and staff struggles to know what is advertised. Probably won't return to this location. read more

Philly's Best Cheesesteaks - Pepper Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Philly's best has been around for some time now and the first one I found was by the Buena Park Mall as that was the closest to my work. Went there for years and loved it. The boars head meat is on point. It doesn't matter what you're looking for it's all good. Not to let you know how sad I am that that one closedown years ago and I've had to be on the search for a new one I have found that there are still quite a few out there, including this one and by far it's one of the best ones still around. The menu has extras and they don't charge to add the buffalo sauce. For me it's further but why would you not travail for what you want? read more

Web said deliver is not and a guy answer the phone bad attitude do not get from here

Yes, indeed, folks. We've got great authentic Cheesesteak Hoagie like how I grew up with them in the Philly suburb in Mercer County. Totally yum. How have I not known they were here sooner? I've lived here over 8 years and didn't know. I get the Classic Cheesesteak Hoagie which comes with lettuce and tomato's. When I remember to ask for it, I get it with their putting the catchup on first. The Roll is authentic and terrific, too. Nice touches: Herr's potato chips and Tasty Kakes, too. Yes. Butterscotch Krimpets. The counter staff are great. And there's plenty of free parking. Highly Recommend. read more

For a good cheese steak this is the place to come. It's pretty close to what you can get in Philly. You can even get some Tastycake. There's plenty of cheese in your sandwich and it's served piping hot. I didn't notice if there was wiz on the menu. Several places you order Wiz wit or without. Service is fast the restaurant is clean, and I'm sure Sundays they would have the Eagles game during football season. I recommend this place. read more

So this place has messed up my order a couple of times, but usually they just tell me to come back they will remake it. Today I was told but an employee, that they are under new owners & no longer will be able to fix an incorrect order. Now an email will need to be sent for approval of a new sub to be made in the future. Apart from the fact that we are stuck w a $30 meal, that went to the trash, the employee (Rob/Roberto H.) was so rude over the phone. He told me over & over that it wasn't their fault & not once extended a sympathetic word from his mouth. I wanted the pepperoni cheesesteak light onions extra cheese. We got a regular Philly, with lots of onions, bell peppers & mushrooms & were charged to add the pepperoni. Getting my refund (whenever that might be) & no longer supporting. read more

Philly's Best Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

It's a bit of drive to go to this place. I order a sandwich and was very specific to ask for no onions. I get all the way home and the cheesesteak is mired in onions. I have to drive all the way back to get it replaced. I nicely asked if they would also refund me since I had to waste a lot of gas at what was their fault and they refused. No wonder there's nobody in the place. read more

This is an awesome location. I went to the one and Chapman & Main Street in Orange and they were super rude + they overcharged me! This location is super nice, clean, and professional. I will be going to this location from now on. read more
