    Feels like I'm back in Philadelphia again :')
    Ren N.

    Found it! Can't believe there is an authentic real Philly cheesesteak AND hoagies place in SoCal. Located in a typically sized strip mall, surrounded by other small eateries is this gem :) My eyes teared up just a bit because I thought I was home the moment I walked through the door. That smell, just like Wawa used to make it. The customer service is so friendly. Hank's soda! If you are sick of the cheesesteak then have the hoagie, and get it without the bacon, you don't need that in your life. (Healthier) Philly style it with everything (condiments I mean) support your local small business and feed a far away friend :) Found another home away from home

    Pepper cheesesteak with cheese and onions.

    I have been coming to Philly's Best for years and the food and service have always been excellent. I usually pick up a sandwich to take back home but I was out running errands and had to pickup something from CVS next door so I decided to dine in this time. The restaurant is very clean and the air conditioning feels great on a hot day. There are a few TVs with sports on as well. I like that they have an ordering kiosk which you can use to quickly place an order if there is a line to order at the register. Their staff is very friendly and greeted me upon arrival and thanked me when I left. I am a creature of habit and always order a pepper steak with cheese and onions. The bread is always super fresh and has a great taste. The sweetness of the peppers pairs well with the delicious meat and gooey cheese. The sandwiches are a pretty good size also. Whenever I get it to go, it is wrapped in foil and is still very hot when I get back home.

    Cheesesteak Fries

    Clean place and friendly staff. The place was well kept and the service was good. The ladies on the grill made the food come out fast and everything was fresh off the grill. I ordered the cheesesteak fries and they were really good. The fries were crispy, had a lot of meat, and enough cheese on top. Definitely worth it and I'd come back again.

    Cheesesteak Hoagie
    Phil N.

    I don't usually review fast casual chains but this Philly's Best location warrants a 5-star review so more people go here. It's my go-to for a Philly Cheesesteak hoagie in North OC. They are consistently well done and the service is good. The seating area is very clean and comfortable. If you're in the area, support this local franchise location. You won't be disappointed.

    Pepper Cheesesteak
    Sherie K.

    Steven was so nice -- he was very personable and seemed to keep calm during a busy rush of customers. I recently came here and ordered a pepper cheesesteak and was so excited to try it. I added grilled onions and cheez wiz. Unfortunately there were no peppers on my pepper cheesesteak, but it was still delicious. I did have to pay an extra $1 for the pepper cheesesteak, but hopefully the next time I visit it'll be just as good with all the ingredients! The place is small and intimate with a few tables to sit at and eat, but people were happily eating there and enjoying their meals! I'd go back for sure.

    The food is amazing huge portions wonderful service and lovely place Definitely I will come back

    Philly cheesesteak sandwich

    Best Philly's Cheesesteak Sandwiches in town, hands down!! Service is always amazing! Music is great!!!

    Mushroom cheesesteak
    Sherrell L.

    Stopped by and had the mushroom cheese steak and onion rings. The place was pretty busy but moved quickly. Food was delicious and fair prices! Friendly staff. Would recommend and would come back!

    My thumb next to the sandwich so you can see when I say small, it's small

    Great service and sandwiches! Today as Huge Hat fan I decided to try the Pastrami sandwich and they made it per my request with extra mustard and pickles. I will say this; The Hats sandwiches are much bigger B U T!!!! The Pastrami here was succulent, and not nearly as fatty as The Hats, so you must decide do you want quantity or quality? I will most certainly be back and ask for extra meat which I am sure they would offer. Also, the roll they use is heavenly as well! So if you like Pastrami try this and you tell me if I am wrong. Thanks kids!

    I have never once left this place unsatisfied or upset. Everything here is so fresh and tasty! Service is fantastic, all the employees are so friendly and kind towards customers. Food is delicious! 10/10, totally recommend eating here! :)

    The ladies in the front are always super sweet. Even when busy they greet me with a smile. The place is clean. Food is yummy! My daughters and I come here often. Definitely recommend. My favorite is the tuna sandwich. My daughters love the classic cheesesteak. Dana, Lisa, and Joud are sweethearts!

    So much meat

    I eat a lot of cheesesteaks. This place has real cooper sharp cheese and is legit. I highly recommend it for the great service as well as the food. Get the Philly Philly with cooper sharp and thank me later. This place blows Matu away...

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

We ordered a chili cheese dog, chili cheese pastrami fries and a pastrami dip and two small fountain drinks. The total was $47.80. The pastrami dip was smaller than I remember and it was really soggy. I would recommend getting the dip on the side. It was 95 degrees outside and we were hoping it would be nice and cool inside. That was not the case. It was pretty warm inside the restaurant. Restaurant was clean though. The employees are on top of it when it comes to cleaning. After ordering we got a receipt with our order number. They were calling out the numbers, but it was hard to hear the order numbers being called out. One of us ended up having to stand by the cashier in order to hear our number being called out. The fries were a big portion and three of us could not finish them so we decided to take the rest home. I went up to one of the employees for a to go container. She said she would give me something. I waited and waiting. Four people were then helped before me that were behind me. The female employee never gave me a to go container. Another guest ended up getting one for me when she herself asked a different employee for a to go container for her fries. I honestly have no desire to go back anytime soon.

Hands down probably the best garlic bread I've ever had! I always eat at least 2 pieces. Shareable with friends/family Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti (8/10). Loved the mariana sauce.

Our server Brian was exceptional from the get-go. Attentive, personable, and genuinely accommodating. He's the kind of server that really enhances the whole dining experience. As for the food, we went with the sautéed mushrooms to start, which were buttery, satiating and just done right. Then, came the Shrimp Scampi & Scallops in pink sauce (which was highly recommended by Brian), and honestly, that dish alone is worth the drive to this establishment. The pink sauce had this beautiful balance between the creaminess and the tanginess of marinara, in addition to the shrimp and scallops that were cooked perfectly, without a rubbery texture. Please try the pink sauce. We also ordered the Veal Parmesan, which had a bit of the crispy ends (as the veal was very thin), but still had the factors of a well-cooked dish. Everything definitely tasted like it was made with care, not hastily (even though we got there pretty late). It is also located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. So, if you're looking for solid, honest Italian food in the area, Fratellino's is the answer. I can't wait to go back to try the other dishes. A++

My mom usually made the classic ham and cheese or turkey and cheese, so sandwiches never felt like something I got overly excited about. Then I tried the Turkado, and honestly... I get it now. That sandwich was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of turkey, lettuce, and that signature sauce. I don't know what exactly is in that sauce, but do they share the recipe? Because there's something about it that makes the sandwich special. It ties everything together perfectly. I also tried the Baja Chicken, and this one honestly proved me wrong. I've never been the biggest fan of chicken sandwiches on that type of bread, but Board & Brew made me question that entire opinion because this sandwich was magnificent. Flavorful, satisfying, and way better than I expected. Now I'm sitting here realizing I probably need to work my way through the rest of the menu because there are still several sandwiches I haven't tried. Board & Brew might have officially turned me into a sandwich guy, and I honestly didn't see that coming.
