    The cheesesteak was pretty average. It's a pretty heavy meal. The onion rings though, they're some of the best I've had

    Skimpy sandwich at Phillys best for 14 bucks

    Paid almost $14 bucks for a cheese steak and let me tell you the meat portion is so small . Totally not satisfied. I remember when the sandwich's here were really good . I tried to give them a shot twice in the last 6 months. And both times were the same. Also I hate when the cook gets two orders and cooks the two portions of meat together and not separate. I always feel like the two portions are never equal in size when they are split after cooking. I did notice this on my order today. I have to say for price this sandwich lets me down I am still hungry

    McDonald's size fries and McDonald size meal at 3x the cost.

    I have Been a long time customer of Philly's Best. Closest Hogie I could get after moving from the East coast 25 years ago. Always ordered from here. But they don't care. And now removed items from their Hogie menu. I always complained pizza fries are way bigger of you done in their super small restaurant if you find a seat. Take out of pizza fries are super small compared to dine in. And now I can't even order a steak hogie because they can charge me way more for lettuce tomatoes and mayonnaise. Nope. I've been slowly ordering less from her. I will order nothing from her from now on. Sorry I hate to so see you go but you have zero customer loyalty.. you just lost a 25 year customer. .

    It's been a while since I had a Philly cheesesteak. I wanted to grab something quick and easy for dinner and was in lake forest. This came up as a suggestion and after eating I'm glad I decided to give it a try. Located in a business park off lake forest next to a round table pizza joint. Getting into the parking lot is a little of a challenge because there is no direct entrance from lake forest. However the ample available parking more than makes up for this shortcoming. Inside this place has been open for quite some time so it has an old school feel if you're into to that authentic time capsule dining experience. This is a sandwich shop so there are a limited amount of seats, then menu is presented on a big board in front of you and you have a view of the grill so you ca watch the process of getting your sandwich made. As far as food I ordered the Philly's best. One the regular way with slices of cheese peppers the other with "da wiz" with the liquid cheese. I actually liked the regular one better than DA wiz. But both were delicious. If you're looking for a great hot sandwich made to order definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

    I used to come here a ton when I lived in the area nearly a decade ago. On my most recent visit, I was really happy to see that it hasn't changed at all and is still just as good as I remember! Fast, affordable, yummy food. My cheesesteak came out piping hot and was loaded with meat and melty cheese wrapped in a soft bun. What's not to love! The menu is small and all of the items are basically the same (give or take 1 or 2 ingredients). I think there are maybe 1 or 2 cheesesteaks that have distinctly different flavor profiles. Just read the descriptions and pick your favorite one without overthinking it and you can't go wrong.

    I had the original steak Philly with grilled onions and it was really good. I don't know what I was expecting exactly but they got our order done fast which was great. My boyfriend got the Buffalo Philly cheesesteak or something like that and he did not really like it. He said they drenched his sub in the sauce and made it soggy but I think it was maybe because it was to go because my pizzza fries were the same. As I opened them to eat, they had a lot of water that evaporated. They should add holes to their to go boxes and stuff...

    The worst service ever. It's completely burnt and the won't take responsibility for it

This morning while ordering breakfast here - It's interesting to view a huge plate full of bacon already cooked! I've been here 15 minutes so I know it's been there for a while, if not cooked to order that's for sure. Additionally, It's almost almost 9 AM, last time I was here for breakfast was 10 minutes after they opened, and the potatoes, that were the side to my omelette, they were not cooked all the way, so now I wait a bit I don't go first thing in the morning here. Furthermore, The prices are great, and it looks like they're taking care of the eating area by keeping it a bit cleaner. it was going just a tad downhill prior. So I took my food to go and happily said, thank you. The two ladies did not respond back, or give eye contact they're just that way. it seems like there's always two individuals there that look like it's their first day there. Interesting clientele here too. Also funny to see one of the managers or leads in the back, sitting down all by himself in the corner, eating breakfast. Taking everything into consideration, the food and the price, especially still give it four stars by me.

We used to have a Krave in our immediate hood, but it went bye bye in spite of being quite good. After checking Yelp I decided to bring dad here. KOLOSSAL DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER (medium-rare): -- I love that you can order temperature doneness and they got it close but just a bit closer to medium -- I like the caramelized onions or grilled onions options -- the garlic aioli is very nice and moderately garlicky or a tad under -- it came with lettuce -- this is a quality beef Waygu burger -- SUPER juicy and moist -- very tasty RATING = A Dad did the same but vetoed the cheese and ordered it "rare". He was a big fan as well but stated that if we do sides again, he will get a single burger only. The patties are 5 ounces per my online research. I may order mine "rare" since his hit the mark more visually for me. FRIES: -- good with the garlic aioli -- some crisp, some not -- pretty nice and taste like actual potato -- could use some salt but we can do that on our own or use garlic aioli and shine the sodium RATING = A- ONION RINGS: -- perfection on visual aesthetics -- awesome on taste -- nicely browned and crispy and piping hot -- one of the best in years -- again, great with garlic aioli RATING = A+ I do not think they have a wide variety of dipping sauces or unusual ones beyond the garlic aioli. Adding a chipotle dipping sauce or cilantro or basil dipping sauce would be nice additions. STAFF are friendly, accommodating and efficient. A big fan. And this is not far from our house.

My kids mostly get the chicken tenders, which are some of the best I've ever had along with their ranch. Recently, I've discovered their breakfast menu, which they don't really talk about much but it's I think an all day thing. I have stopped in for the breakfast burrito with bacon on more than one occasion. Even when I don't get a chance to eat it right that moment, it stays warm for a long time and the eggs are cooked so well that there's still moist and delicious even if I can't get to it for nearly an hour. My only complaint if any is that it's almost too large. I need to separate into two different meals. Or share it with somebody else. I look forward to trying more breakfast items. My other mild complaint is that their chunky salsa is basically a pico de gallo with some jalapeños and not much of a salsa at all. I still scooped the tomato and onion pieces on my burrito to give it some cool texture but it's not what I would hope for for this nearly perfect breakfast burrito. Thankfully, I learned to bring my own hot sauce or salsa to make it work out. If they were to make their own salsa and it was as good as the rest of their selections that would take it to another level. Please try their breakfasts and let then know what you think.

We will come back when we start Jonesing for pastrami but don't think it'll be anytime soon. Our arteries may thank us but we are bummed.

While tasty and admirable that I attempted to eat a salad a burger place, I probably will stick with just the kids meal as that was satisfying. I did manage to eat more that half of the salad. Haha The ordering is self serve on the touchscreen at the counter. Kind and enthusiastic employees are available for assistance. Dining area is typical fast casual tables and chairs. On a Saturday late afternoon, there are TVs on the wall with college football games on. Plenty of parking that is shared with Ralph's, Starbucks, Panda, and more. If the hubby and I are visiting this area again, we would likely return. It's more like 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4.
