This place has been a local favorite my whole life, the same owner too definitely a hidden gem of a restaurant. If you're looking for the best cheesesteak in California then come to Philly's Best, the staff is also so welcoming and friendly thank you guys for all your hard work the new copper classic is amazing it's just like the steaks you get on the east coast read more

Since the new management/owners the quality has changed. Bread is not fresh and less meat. Not worth it anymore.

Don't come in when it's busy. They just cook a bunch of steak and try to stretch portion it over multiple orders quickly. Mine came with not even half the amount of meat as I see other people most. Maybe I was just unlucky. But also they barely load any cheese either. Ended up both dry and bland. Don't recommend. read more

About a month ago my daughter and I walked into this place. We usually go another restaurant near by, but decided to try something new. We've been back everyday for two weeks. The shop is very clean, the employees are very friendly, and the classic cheesesteak is so delicious. I love the way the bun is slightly crispy, flakey on the outside, but the bread is warm and soft on the inside. They give you a generous portion of meat too. The environment is a really nice hidden gem. That's why we keep coming back. read more

Jersey Boy here. As good a Philly spot as I've found west of the Mississippi. They have all the usual suspects, and all prepared well. But my review was prompted by my nephew's thank you for his Christmas gift. Philly's Best serves a fairly awesome version of the New Jersey classic! Taylor Ham. Yes, that greasy, salty, oh so delicious pork roll that Jersey expats spend their time searching longingly for. So for me...Philly's Best is 4.5 bumped up to a 5 for the "treat from Trenton"! IYKYK! read more

Dana is an absolute sweetheart! I ordered the cooper classic at around 3:45pm and recieved it in about 6 minutes. The food was fresh and I was pleasantly surprised with how quick everything was given how busy they were today. The place had good vibes and everything was well cleaned/maintained. Will be coming back here! read more

The Italian Hoagies use to be pretty decent, but now they are using about half the meat as before. They are also using Amoroso rolls sent from PA frozen. The roll was way too soft and not fresh. There are better local options they could have chosen. The French fries are pretty good except I ordered them with cheese sauce that was horrible. They don't have fresh ice tea, only soda fountain tea so it's not very good either. read more

these people will never get my business again. i ordered a sandwich, and i put notes in the instacart app, and philly's best did not even read the notes. the sandwich was all wrong. i called the store, and lady told me cook did not read notes i indicated that was not my problem, and she said it was not her problem. then she said there were no notes. there were notes (i saved them with the save button). then she left me on the phone for 50 minutes (never came back (terminal hold). she told me to drive 3 miles to get what i wanted after i paid for delivery, and all the fees. as i wasi telling her the issue she kept interupting me. rude as all fucking hell (never again). philly's best gets a zero star rating. i had to give a one star to submit, but zero star for them. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Philly's Best - Placentia, for several years. I used to come here with my late dog, Veneto , once every two weeks ( on the low), and order myself a mushroom Philly cheesesteak, and order my dog the same thing without onions plus two beef patties. It was our thing. Coming back here alone feels bitter sweet, but it is still a must for me. Out of all of the locations from this chain, this one is certainly the best on customer service, quality environment and the flavor they put out on the food. I love their entire staff but I want to give a shoutout to their employee, Dana, for her outstanding customer service skills read more

This is my absolute go to sandwich shop. Not only are the Cheesesteaks great (both steak and chicken) - but the hoagies are also delicious. Not only that, they don't skimp of the French Fries. Can't forget to mention the team of employees. They are always friendly, courteous and they everything the cook is fresh off the grill. read more

Best Philly in Orange County!! The bread, quality of meat, cheese and peppers were all perfect. The people working were very kind. I'll be frequenting them often. And I'll be back this week! read more

They have great service and their food is delicious!! I always come get to get the meatball sandwich.

I've been going to this little mom and Pop Shop since over a year. And I am blown away by the freshness of their food their meat and the sandwiches is made fresh order, always served hot and fresh! Your french fries are always cooked fresh to order and clean oil! I can't express U-How important it is for me to have a restaurant serve you golden french fries. That are not greasy ! Their service is quick and professional, and extremely friendly ! The couple who owned the place are very family oriented and I speak to them whenever I go in they are so nice to me . It's a little shop with little tables very cute and extremely clean!!!!! Like I said, I've been coming over a year and I've never caught the place with a speck of dirt in it in any area. SPOTLESS!!! Don't miss this one highly recommended ! read more

The Philly cheesesteak sandwich was delicious. I will definitely return there. Good vibes.

Have been here twice and both times very much enjoyed the experience. Excellent customer service both times - very friendly staff which added to the tasty food they serve. We've had the Philly's Best Cheesesteak and also the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - both delicious, but careful with the Buffalo because it is spicy! If you like cheesesteaks, you won't be disappointed here! read more

The ambiance is nothing special. Regular generic chairs and tables, like a fast food place. The service is fine. But the food, wow. The Philly cheesesteaks here are awesome. I got the cheesesteak hoagie and it was a 9.2/10 and the fries are good 7.5/10. They give you a huge basket. It's my local go-to for Philly cheesesteaks! read more

My kiddo and I stopped at this favorite spot for a cheesesteak and as usual they didn't disappoint. The fries were delicious and crispy and I really like their fancy pop options! read more

I've never had a wrong order or unpleasant service here. Food is always hot and fast and is as reasonably priced as any other place these days. read more

This is not Phillys best absolutely no flavor on the meat, no cheese flavor. There was no seasoning on the fries. The cashier was very friendly but the food really sucks read more

You're greeted with a warm smile and walk you through the many options to complete your order, soft music, cold beverages and an awesome collection of police, fire department and sheriff's uniform badges. read more

I had THE BEST cheat day last Thursday because of Philly's Best! The PLACENTIA location is by far the most consistent and the best of the Philly's Best locations I've ever visited. It is run by a family and they work really hard and it shows! Their preparation and dedication to customer service is paramount. Second only to the product they are providing which is outstanding. I've never been disappointed with the Philly's Best in Placentia. Their Philly's Best cheesesteak, Wiz wit, hits the spot consistently every cheat day that requires extra cheese and fancy French fried potaters! Mmmhm! I was so happy to see a line almost out of the door when I arrived to pick up my order. But rest assured that even if you don't call in your order or place an order online for pick up, your order will probably take less than 10mins from the time you walk in and place your order. Bonus points to the restaurant because on Thursday they had a new trainee working the grill that gave me the best Philly experience I could ask for with extra mushrooms and sweet peppers! It knocked my socks off! And also! +7 stars because the pretty lady taking orders behind the counter called me "my dear" Enjoy in moderation but still enjoy! read more

Food is good, the classic is always great choice. I order the Pizza Fries, well I wasn't expecting fries with a side a marinara sauce. I was hoping to be like loaded fries maybe fries layered with marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Overall the food was good, the workers are nice and friendly. Mainly ordered take out, restaurant looks clean. read more

Pretty great food here. Classic American stuff, nothing too crazy. Service is amazing here, super chill environment and I love the decorations. read more

Just had this for lunch today because I saw the good reviews. Dana helped me out today and she was so helpful and friendly! Will definitely go out of my way to drive here read more

Awesome sandwiches. Friendly service. Parking can be crowded. Philly's best option is always a winner .

This is my first time trying real Philly cheesesteak and I really enjoyed it. The sandwich ended up being bigger than it thought it wound be. Nice salty taste and the fries were good too. The order was ready pretty quickly. There is a condiment counter where you can add jalapenos and pickles. My only suggestion would be if you could add the condiments in your original order, like I would've liked jalapenos and pickles to just be in my cheesesteak when ordered. read more

Not the best Philly, if you like a good cheesy Philly this place is not for you. Onion rings very over cooked and gross.

Philly's best has been my go to for amazing sandwiches ever since I was a kid. My family and I have been going here for almost a decade, and it's a family favorite. The sandwiches are always amazing, the staff here are kind and very quick, and the food is always consistent, which is why we've been coming here for so long. This location in particular is the best one I've been to. The food just tastes so much better here! I'm not sure if it's because it's nostalgic for me, but regardless, I'm so happy they stayed in business all this time. Thank you Philly's best, for making amazing food, kind and personable staff, and for allowing my family and I to create lovely memories sharing your food. read more

I most likely eat from this location 7 or 8 times a month. Today I went in today and ordered 3 sandwiches While they were cooking I told the counter guy and the guy cooking they had my order wrong. Then the owner arrived and I told him the order was wrong. He promised they were correct Needless to say all 3 sandwiches are wrong and they added peppers to everything and I hate pepper When I called after driving 30 minutes the food is all wrong and I call Hany the owner and he says if I bring the food back he will replace it. That does not work for me and he will not give credit or a refund. Pissed me off needless to say. I am sitting here thinking about refusing the credit card. What do you think read more

1 star is only for the cheese steak. A veggie cheese steak is actually just hot vegetables on bread, no cheese, nothing. For 8.00 you would imagine that the food would be at least cooked but its basically just warmed up and barely at that. Shame because their fries are 10/10 and the employees are nothing but kind. read more
