    With mushrooms and cheese
    Laurel T.

    I'll be honest, I don't come here as much as I should. But whenever I'm craving a Philly, this is the only place I come to This place is located in a private parking lot with up close parking and As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Carli. She was extra helpful and incredibly friendly You walk in and order at the counter. We ordered two cheesesteaks and some fries. They do have a lot of different varieties of cheesesteaks here. Including chicken Philly, some salads, a vegetarian Philly and etc. Unfortunately, when we got there they were already out of onion rings (we even got there pretty early) they must be really good, because while I was sitting here a bunch of people came in trying to order them. The fries were delicious though! You take a seat and then wait for your food to be called and you pick it up yourself. It took maybe about 12-15 minutes for everything. In the meantime we helped ourselves to the soda fountain This place actually does remind me of a small run of the mill cheesesteak place you'd find in Philly. Of course it's decked out in sports memorabilia (such as the eagles flags and flyers signs) They also have TVs with the games playing. When I came In they had a football game on that some people were watching. Someone even asked if Carli would turn up the volume and she came out and did. The food is delicious The prices aren't bad Service is great I'm a ranch girl, but I did grab some ketchup packets. They were from a brand called red gold ketchup with a cause. And on the packet it has an American flag and says Folds of honor. Which is a non-profit providing educational scholarships for families of fallen or disabled service members. So I appreciate them supporting a cause when they could of just gotten any old brand I will always come back whenever I have a craving for a Philly

    I'm so happy that we live by a Philly's best. They're friendly and helpful with suggestions. Food is always served piping hot and fresh. We normally eat in and it's clean. The hubby loves their food, reminds him of Philly. He gets the mushroom cheesesteak and I get the Philly's best. But don't forget the ketchup and the side of pickles :) I get the fries and nomnomnom. Plenty of parking, right next to coffee bean.

    This was my first time trying it and oh boy was it so good and the sandwhich was huge. The service was kind and speedy which is great. And the ambiance is all Philadelphia themed whi ch bi thought was cool.

    I was disgusted with my order my sub had no meat i had more bread then anything. Everyone i order from Long Beach this is the result

    Great place for an authentic philly cheese steak sandwich, eating in, surrounded by a mom'n'pop atmosphere, even though it is a chain. Didn't realize how many Philly's Best sandwich shops there are in Southern California, 19 now per their website (which has a nice writeup about their history), with the first one being founded in Fountain Blue, CA in 1992 . Its popularity must be more than customers that are just Philadelphia transplants. Plenty of parking at this strip mall location, and the place was empty when we came past the lunch rush on a Friday afternoon. It's menu does contain both hot and cold sandwiches. It's a fast food set-up where you stand in-line to peruse the menu sign, then placing and paying for your order. There is a self-serve soda fountain with Coke products, so got a fountain soda ($2.99). The sandwiches are made after your order, so it took about 10 minutes for my name to be called. Went up to grab the sandwiches, and was offered hot peppers and pickles. Was really glad that I said 'Yes'. The thing about regional sandwiches, is they usually grew from local, inexpensive ingredients that could be supplied year round. I've learnt that bread from Amoroso Bakery in Philadelphia is a must for an authentic cheesesteak, and that it's a steak sandwich not a beef sandwich. It's supposed to use quality beef cut meant for steak (like ribeye)...this is very different than our favorite regional Chicago Italian beef, which intentionally uses the toughest cuts of beef, braised very slowly. -- Classic Cheesesteak ($11.49) - beef, bread, cheese. That's all my wife will eat on her hot (never cold) sandwich, and this is exactly what they provide here. -- Philly's Best ($12.49) - always got to get the sandwich that's named after the restaurant itself, right? This also didn't disappoint. The white american cheese had been melted to produce that sticky goo that binds the meat to the bread, to make the eating of the sandwich relatively clean. The cheese is a must here. And the 'steak' meat is very good. Plus the vinegary peppers and pickles helped cut through the richness of the sandwich. I loved this sandwich. -- Cheese fries ($4.99) - really well fried french fries, topped with a generous amount of cheese whiz. I would bet you could ask to replace the cheese on the sandwich with cheese whiz instead (which is a perfectly acceptable version of a cheesesteak). We devoured these. The place is decorated not nearly as much with Philadelphia merch as I was expecting. Maybe the original sandwich shop in Fountain Blue is much more obnoxious with their pride....my personal experience is that Philadelphia sports fans are not shy about their favorite teams, no matter if they are in enemy territory or not. Of course, this is a franchise location...wonder if as a franchise owner, you are REQUIRED to show Philly sports memorabilia on the walls? Was impressed with the value, considering the ingredients and the need to import some pieces from far away. Pretty confident that a sandwich with these ingredients from a non-chain restaurant would be at least 50% more, or be a lot smaller in size/volume. Heck, it compares very well with the cheesesteak sandwich from Jersey Mike's in terms of value, and this is a much better sandwich.

    Philly cheesesteak salad.  Really good!!
    Chris D.

    If you're avoiding carbs but craving a Philly Cheesesteak this is your place! They've got cheesesteak salads that totally satisfied my craving! It's off the traffic circle with plenty of parking. Staff were kind of grumpy but that seems to be the case for every Philly's Best so it's expected. Rest of my group got traditional Philly's with fries and were all happy. Definitely be back since the location closest to me went under few years ago.

    The food is great and excellent customer service from the staff. The ambience of the restaurant brings you closer to Philadelphia feeling.

    THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE!!! All surrounding brunch spots... meet your match…read more This family-owned gem is about to take over the downtown brunch scene. My family and I stopped in on a Saturday around 10 a.m. The place was already packed with a line out the door, but don't let that scare you. The wait moved fast, and the staff ran that dining room like a well-oiled machine while somehow making you feel like you were a guest in their home. You order at the front, grab your number, then impatiently wait for greatness. Right away, the baristas were brewing, shaking, and stirring up some of the best drinks I've had in a long time. Matcha, mochas... Starbucks could NEVER. I ordered the banana strawberry matcha and an iced mocha. While I was at the counter, I obviously had to grab pastries because... self-control wasn't invited. The display alone had me ready to order 14 of 'em. I went with the tiramisu cookie, guava croissant, and strawberry cream croissant. Now for the main event. There were four of us, so naturally we ordered enough food for a small village. Savory pancakes, a bulgogi breakfast burrito with fries, steak and eggs, another breakfast burrito, and the Thai pizza. Yep. We came to eat. While we waited, I took in the atmosphere. The entire place felt warm and inviting. Sunlight poured through the windows, giving it the feeling of eating breakfast on your family's back patio. Just laughter, clinking forks, happy conversations, and those little "mmm" moments happening at every table. That's always a good sign. The Thai pizza hit the table first. Fresh out of the oven and straight to Flavor Town. The crust had to be handmade because there was no way something that good came from a freezer. The basil, sausage, and everything working together made this anything but your average pizza. It was different--in the best way possible. Five minutes later... Gone. Next up were the savory pancakes. At first glance, they looked simple. Then I took a bite. That little stack of fluffy pancakes topped with berry butter didn't even need syrup. THANK YOU for understanding that pancakes don't need to cover an entire plate to be memorable. These were soft, flavorful, perfectly sweet, and somehow disappeared before I could fully appreciate everything else on the plate. Speaking of everything else... The steamed eggs were light and fluffy. The hash browns? Listen... Whatever they're doing to those potatoes back there needs to be studied. They had the perfect golden crunch with this buttery goodness that made me question every hash brown I've ever eaten. Fried in beef tallow? Magic? I don't know. I just know I wanted another order immediately. The bacon deserved its own shoutout too. Fresh, crispy, and full of flavor--not bacon that was cooked at 5 a.m. and has been sitting around waiting for someone's Grand Slam order. This bacon had integrity. Then came the steak and eggs. The steak was tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. I had absolutely no interest in sharing. But somehow the potatoes still managed to steal part of the spotlight. Again... Those potatoes. Give me 14 of those babies to go. The breakfast burritos were packed with flavor, but those crispy potatoes inside gave them the texture that took them from good to unforgettable. And that green aioli? Bottle that stuff up. Immediately. This place just gets it. They understand that quality matters. Every ingredient tasted intentional, every dish felt like someone actually cared before it hit the table. Too many restaurants are cutting corners these days, and I will happily support businesses that refuse to compromise. Worth every penny. This is hands down one of the best brunch spots I've been to in a long time, and I already can't wait to come back. Do yourself a favor and go. Just don't blame me when there's a line.

It's right in Belmont and one neighborhood away from the water. Great date place and bar too. 2026 update: This breaks my heart. The menu has changed, the chef has definitely changed and service has unfortunately gone down. First off they cut a good portion of the menu and the physical design is not the easiest to read. (that's not really a problem tbh but it's something to note) What is the problem are the following: Ordering food for 3 took 20 minutes for servers to come, get food, and water + drinks we ordered. food took almost 45 minutes to arrive at the table. I get the kitchen makes a lot of stuff but this is crazy. at this point we were here for over an hour without eating. Not only were the orders wrong but also food portions were noticeably smaller. Credit due here, they fixed that (ofc which takes an extra time). Final straw here: To get someone's attention, get the bill, then for them to come get the bill, pay, and give us our cards back took: TWENTY MINUTES. Just to pay. tldr: food prices went up, staff not attentive, food still decent but different chef. Food is noticeably saltier. This place is still cute and servers as a great bar but oh my gosh has it gone down hill. Full context half the restaurant was empty. we are so disappointed. this place used to be great :(
