Been to a few phillys best before and I'm not sure exactly why but this one is just clearly better. Got the cheese steak with mushrooms and also tried the pepperoni cheese steak. Freakin ridiculous good. Don't care too much about customer service when I eat good food but they have exceptional service here. I live pretty far from here but definitely coming back. Legit place. read more

I've tried Boos, Whiz and Figueroa Philly, but Philly's best is by far my favorite. It's super authentic and they get their ingredients shipped over from Philly. I love their cheese steak fries. Love the new addition to this plaza and will be back weekly! Great customer service and I would definitely recommend it if you haven't tried it. read more

Great subs whether you go with a Philly cheese steak or chicken steak. Bread is always perfect! I haven't tried their burgers or hoagies yet. The cheese fries are a bust though, in my opinion - wasn't a fan of the type of cheese they use (like valveta or cheese whiz - but hey if you like that, you're in luck). Great customer service; their employees are always smiling, welcoming, and friendly. read more

Great food - wonderful staff - will definitely go back! And they have pork roll (Taylor Ham, whatever name you prefer!)

My husband took me here for the first time! Never had a cheese steak before and I am definitely hooked! Great taste and rolls are so soft! Onions rings are awesome! read more

We love Philly's Best, have eaten at different locations in south county. San Clemente location has very professional and attentive employees. Food was excellent my only negative is that they don't seem to put as much meat in sandwich as other locations, maybe because it's new. We will still be back. We are so excited they came to our city. P. S. We always get Philly's best chicken it's the bomb. Fries are good too. read more

Cheese wiz wit Basically the closest thing I've gotten to a Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly. Nice job! read more

I love the cheese steaks here, I have been coming here since they have opened and I swear I have put on about 20 pounds. It was worth it, the staff is always super friendly. I highly recommend the "Philly's Best" peppers and shrooms, YUM! read more

Phillys best was way good! They have some awesome sweet peppers they put on it, which really calls out the different flavors. They do add a lot of onion, but scrape it off, cause the flavor of the onion and the meat is all you need... Really good, made fresh in about 3-5 min!! read more

Came here to get some dinner. It's 8:19pm and the sign on the door says they close at 9...but the door is locked. There are people inside cleaning and ignoring my knocks at the door. Yelp says they close at 9, google says they close at 9...yet they are closed at 8:19. Hungry MFs ain't appreciating that shit. Good luck read more

I had great service from mark my food was amazing give it a shot really good food and great customer service

Best philly cheese steaks in SoCal, food is kind of slow but worth the wait. Reasonably priced as well

The staff is always in a great mood. The cheesesteak fries are my favorite and they really fill you up. I go here a few times a week because it is good and affordable and because it fills my fast food urge. LOVE this place! read more

Just checked this place out for the first time... Heard around town it was a must try... Little disappointed in my expectations... I ordered the mushroom burger, my fiancé ordered the traditional Philly cheesesteak... We settled on taking it home instead of eating it there... Just to get home to find my order was wrong- the burger was over cooked... And the meat on the cheesesteak was less than par. It seems like they still need some training with their staff... Maybe give them a couple of months to settle in...and try again.... read more

Don't know how this place has 4.5 stars for a Philly Cheesesteak. The Cheesesteak was subpar and the hamburger was uneditable. This is not like any of the cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, doesn't matter what your favorite in Philly is this will disappoint. read more

Love Philly's Best, just not this one. They NEVER get the order right. I JUST GOT HOME WITH 5 cheese steaks and all of them are wrong. This has happened 3 times this year. Don't even think of ordering over the phone. You have to go in and babysit you order. Even with that you have a 50/50 chance of getting what you want. I know this location is franchised because Corporate wouldn't put up with this. read more

Great good and great price. And remember. On the 5th, 15th and 25th of the month. All good is $5.55 instead of full price. Love this place. Must try it. read more

They make a decent tasting cheesesteak, but charging more than $10 for a sandwich and a Tastykake? Pat's and Geno's don't charge that much, if memory serves. read more

Fresh bread, delicious Philly Chicken Cordon Blue and Cheese Steak. Very clean. I would definitely come again!

Wow, what a diiference between all of these reviews and my experience. I read the reviews and that was enough for me to check out their famous Philly sandwich. I was hoping for the best but got less than mediocre. The bread was soggy, the cheese bland and the the french fries were the worst. Service was poor even though when I entered at11:45 AM there was no one else there and the staff acted like I was not even there. I asked for a water and never got one so ate what I could stomach and threw about a third of the sandwich in the trash and almost all of the frenchfries and vowed never to come back. read more

Extremely kind staff. Very thoughtful to my family. Clean and good food as well. Enjoyed the Philly's cheese steak and fries. Also, tasty black cherry soda. read more

I was excited when you came to my part of town, But I am not impressed. I had the chicken philly and my husband had cheesesteak and my daughter the burger. We all liked the fries but for $35.00 total we were shocked. Food quality not good. Maybe we are spoiled by the habit. They are much more family friendly with selection and prices. BTW. It is very uncomfortable to sit in your place when it is so HOT. We were all disappointed. One and done. read more

This place is great! Good food and fair prices. The customer service is amazing here, Michael was very personable and recommended a great cheesesteak sandwich! Today was Shara's first day and she was a natural. Overall this place has great food,prices and service! Everyone go here!!!!! read more

Friendly staff and very good sandwiches starting with delicious New York deli-style bread!

Really good sandwiches! East coast style, not disappointed at all. I had the Philly's best and it was amazing. On top of that the place is clean, looks clean, and staff was friendly. read more

Showed up here tonight at 841pm and door locked. Ladies inside saw me and said they were closed. It wasn't until I took a pic of them before she opened the door. By then I was over it and won't return, ever. . Too many choices to be treated this way. read more

I've been to a number of these folks locations and always have the chicken mushroom onions no cheese. Love them. This is supposed to be the new iteration of the franchise, and this is my first visit to this location. So here goes: well staffed nice folks fast service, clean and attractive, good taste. However, they have cut back on the amount of meat, and cut out the pickle and pepper bar at this location. Oops, they didn't, they hid it in the back by the coke dispenser. But I didn't discover that til I looked at the pictures after I got home. So, there's way more bread roll than filling. And, no way to dress up your sandwich. Opps, my bad. They hid the condiments whereas in all the other outlets they are in plain sight. But I shouldn't have needed Sgt. Preston of the Yukon and his dog to find them. I took mine home and added my own pickles and peppers. But I shouldn't have had to. Pitiful. So, make the condiments findable and add some filling. We will pay gladly to have the filling to roll ratio upped. Your fifth star is waiting. read more

Awesome customer service. Along with outstanding food! I strongly suggest this place.

Generic sandwiches, mushrooms are from a can! Do not recommend this place at all...the young woman that took our order was extremely rude when my husband asked for a refund... She alleged he yelled at her which was NOT the case! Either way the manager made a good customer service gesture and refunded the purchase. read more

This location is consistently good. Friendly and helpful staff. Great sandwiches and service. Partial to the chicken and mushroom grilled onions no cheese topped with peppers from cold tray. Really good all the time. And, surprisingly, there is always parking! read more

So I've pretty much had it with this place. I really like the food, particularly the Italian or turkey sub. I crave it, and around where I live there aren't really any other places to get a good Italian sub. On several occasions I've come during normal posted business hours and they've been closed. One time was on a Saturday afternoon at 2pm. It's pretty ridiculous to be closed regularly during normal business hours. Really frustrating when you craving a Italian sub from them and can't get one. So I finally caught them open at 8:10pm(they supposedly close at 9pm) I walk up and all the chairs are up on the tables and a guy is mopping the floor. I open the door and ask him if they're open, he seems annoyed but says yeah. I walk in wait a couple minutes for a girl to walk up to the counter. I order a mushroom steak for the hubby and then order my Italian sub, and guess what? She says they don't make cold sandwiches during the last hour and all the cold stuff is already put away. At this point I should have just left, but I was hungry so I just ordered a cheesesteak. I also ordered cheese fries. Normally, when I've ordered cheese fries to go, they put the cheese sauce in separate containers from the fries, as they should cause who wants soggy fries. Well this time, not only did they put in all together in one container, but they put the container in the bag sideways so the container leaked and I also had a glob of mushy cheese fries by the time I got home. Uncool. There used to be a really awesome guy who was either the manager or assistant manager, but once I stopped seeing him in there the place has totally gone to shit. Won't be going back to this location anymore. read more

Nothing more frustrating than ordering a sandwich to go and getting it home to find out that they got it wrong. Asked for oil & vinegar, did not get. Covered it and ruined it by COVERING the whole thing with oregano which I did not ask for. read more

Awesome place I come here multiple times a week. Awesome staff. My favorite food place.

Wow..now I'm not one to go on yelp and write reviews but wow. After a long morning of getting my kids ready and dropping them off at school I was starving. I figured I'd try this steak place near my house and it was one of the best fast food experience's I've had in a while. The girl taking my order was very nice and respectful not to mention that the very nice man cooking my food cooked it in record time! I was very impressed and will be back! read more

Just opened. Best Cheesesteaks in town. Still fine tuning so expect some minor delays. Great addition to eateries in our Spanish Village by the Sea. read more

First time here and I loved it, best sandwich place in San clemente, thank you Joaquin and Adrian for making us feel at home...

They got my order wrong. I ordered a Hoagie with Turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar and oregano. But when I unwrapped it, there was no lettuce, tomato or oregano. Just a stick in the throat turkey and cheese. A simple order and nobody checked it. Sloppy way to do business. read more

Driving up the 5 from Legoland, was hit by a craving for a cheesesteak. Random, I know, but we yelped and found Philly's Best. Surprisingly big menu, so we were happy to find something for the whole family. My cheesesteak had everything on it- peppers, shrooms, fried onions. It was delicious, plus the bread was perfect: soft but stands up to all the meat and cheese. Also, try the pizza fries! All that cheese can't be too good for your aorta, but worth it every once in a while. Really glad to find the place and we'll definitely come back when we're in the area. read more

Awesome mushroom cheesesteak, cherry peppers are nice too. Staff is super friendly and food came out super quick.

This place is so phenomenally good! I usually eat here about 3 times a week. The service is super friend super fast! Do yourself a favor and get one today!!! read more
