    Cooper Classic
    Frank P.

    Today's National Cheesesteak Day. I ordered the Cooper Classic with fries and a drink. Of course I had to get a Tasty cake too. My Classic was delicious. Its been forever since I had Cheesesteak. I love the soft rolls. You can get your sandwiches Wit or without, I went with without. They just opened so nobody was here. Service is good. I will return.

    Had a Philly Classic Cheesesteak it came with Thinly sliced steak cooked to order with melted white American cheese served on a genuine Amoroso roll it was so delicious and every bite you taste the melted cheese and onions. Also had cheese fries and it came with French fries that was salted good and nacho cheese on top and it went really well with the Cheesesteak. I love this place the service was good and the ambience was good to watch the sporting events

    Delicious cheesesteaks and fresh soft bread shipped from Philadelphia, made with wiz.. we ordered from here after craving cheesesteaks and wanted to try a different place than we have prior. Ordered pickup, had a nice conversation with Josh, and got home to find one sandwich was made incorrectly. Called and they would replace it. Got back and picked up order and to our surprise- some tasty cake treats, extra sauces and a gift card to make up for the incorrect order. We called back to gratefully thank him for his kindness and the great sandwich and snacks. It's so nice to find a place that makes sandwiches that you're craving so good and treats you well after a mistake. I recommend phillys best- coming from NJ to Cali - you miss items from the east coast and this definitely brought me home. Thank you Josh we will definitely be back

    Please don't come here. Philly cheesesteak was ground beef with veggies, flavor wasn't even all that. And the turkey sandwich is honestly one of the most driest sandwiches I have ever had. Even adding mustard or mayo didn't help. $30 down the drain.

    Overcooked onions.

    They should rename this place Philly's Meh. I used to come here for a satisfying phillys cheesesteak. Had been a fan for decades. But something's been off with this particular location. Not sure if the other franchisees are the same, but ever since Covid they've gone down hill. First of all, even before the recent inflation they kept raising the price of their sandwiches, I get it, costs goes up but dang higher prices and shrinkflation? We started coming here less. However this past visit, was the worst one and the last time I'll ever come here. Hard to redeem after this experience. To start: 1) Cheesesteak - barely any cheese. As you can see in the pic, it seems like they're using half the cheese they normally did or used to. 2) Dry meat - I know freezer burned beef when I taste it. And maybe cause velocity has decreased due to poor value or something, I guess they're trying to save every buck they can. 3) Onion Rings - what seemed like a smaller portion than before wasn't really the issue, huge cakey batter and over cooked. Like the onion was mushy. Eww. Taste was ok though. The only two reasons why it's not 1 star review is that the workers were nice and the pickled peppers and kosher pickles were still as good as before. Just wished they didn't charge almost $5 for a soda fountain drink cause I decided that was a ripoff and couldn't wash down my dry, semi cheesy steak down. End of an era. There's a Phillys Best in Lake Forest, the first I've been to long ago... going to try that place and hope it's still good.

    A legit Philly Cheesesteak is a beautiful thing, and you can get one at this place, no cap. The drill is you order and pay at the counter, and they let you know when your order is ready. The steaks are cooked to order the traditional way and placed in an Amoroso roll, which is the only way. I'm going to patronize this place more in the hope it sticks around. Irvine has more than its share of noodle shops and hot pot shops.

    Food - Philly cheesesteak, hoagies, burgers, fries, onion rings and salads. I usually order the classic or Philly's best cheesesteak but i love their Philly's best burgers believe it or not. I find this type of burger to be unique amongst the other burgers because of the Philly style. I so wanted to share my burger except I ate it all before I could even take a picture! Service - none other than order at the counter. Clean up after yourself. Ambiance - really feels like your local burger joint or even a slight Philly vibe I guess. Verdict - really a no brainer. If you are feeling some Philly in Cali, then this is a decent place to go to

    I would've taken a better photo but I couldn't wait to dive in!

    Absolutely you are the best - your location near Farmer Boys in Tustin and Santa is definitely second to you!

    Is this the same as Philly Cheesesteaks?

    If you are asking about a place called Philly Cheesesteaks, no. If you are asking if they are authentic Philly Cheesesteaks, yes. Only place my family, from Philly, will eat a cheesesteak outside of Philly.

    How are the salads?

    Never had a salad there but the sandwiches are to die for.

    Yes I've been here many, MANY times, and still my favorite cheese steak sandwich in all of orange…read morecounty. Why? BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOD!!! I've been coming here for week over 30 years. While s could if old school favorites (for my lovely wife) might have dropped from the menu many years ago, sure came to love their signature cheese steaks too. Honestly I'm not going to compare it with anyone's other favorites because this just happens to be mine. The best is getting it there and reading it hot but since pandemic, the seating is minimal. You can go anywhere and get a version of a Philly cheese steak sandwich, but this one tops my list. Please tell them Frankie told you you had to go there. Honestly, just love this place Anyway. Good luck!

    I've been craving a cheesesteak and decided to get takeout from here, so I'll be basing my review…read morestrictly on the food. That being said, this was a great spot! I ordered a small Frank's Choice, and it was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the cheese was plenty and tasty. I'm a terrible cheesesteak consumer and add lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, but I loved it (please don't judge me too hard). I also thought you get plenty of food for the price, so the value is certainly there. Overall I was really pleased with this spot and would love to try some of their other items, hopefully in person. Definitely give this place a shot if you're craving a cheesesteak, whether in-person or via delivery.
