When you come in, you are greeted right away. The food is made fresh, and you can see them making your order. The inside is pretty small, but clean and open with easy view of the cook. The food is good, well seasoned and well made. I ordered a hamburger, philly steak sandwich (yes, no cheese), and some fries. Everything was delicious and above average. Will definitely come back again. read more

Best Philly food n the west valley. Maybe in the entire valley! I love this place!!!

Solid value for a cheesesteak spot...only real complaint is the lack condiments. I've traveled from coast to coast and the one common denominator is that a good cheesesteak needs to be saucy.Sams food quality is good but for the love of god add more mayo/sauce when you sell a damn sandwich read more

I used to come here often before Covid so decided to try it again. I ordered a large Philly. They do offer three options for cheese and I went with the yellow cheese. I remember the bread being so fresh, soft inside with a little toast outside. Bread was just as satisfying but unfortunately the size of the bread was more like a skinny baguette then a large French roll. Meat was tasty though and yellow cheese is my fav so hit the spot but next time I'll probably ask for extra cheese as I love me some cheese. I wish they still served crinkle cut fries though instead the skinny fries but they were still pretty good. Good prices, good food, clean restaurant. read more

Sam's Philly Steak - the menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Tarzana, California

It's unusual for me to have a Philly cheesesteak, but I was craving it this time around. I was getting errands done and this place had good Yelp reviews. There's plenty of parking in the lot and the inside is very clean. I ordered a steak and cheese and curly fries. It was probably too much food in one sitting so maybe I'll just get a 7" sandwich next time. The man took my order and made my meal immediately. The sandwich was so good and just what I wanted. The curly fries weren't bad and a good compliment to the sandwich. I will definitely come back here again and possibly try something else from the menu. read more

Where do I even begin? The sandwich was amazing -- both my girlfriend and I loved it. Not only was the sandwich great, but the fries were absolutely the bomb! The service was just as impressive. The gentleman who helped us today was super nice and really helpful. Oh -- and free refills? Yes, please! Overall, the food was a 10/10 and the service was a 10/10. We're definitely coming back. Bonus points for the cool 3D-printed photos on the wall -- fun to stare at while you eat. read more

Wife and I tried this place as we were cruising down Ventura Blvd looking for a good Philly cheesesteak. We should've kept going to Philly's Best. Meat was dull and bland with a weird taste to it. Bread was perfect, but couldn't figure out what the meat flavor was. We ordered a side of fries to share and the portion was really small. A bit greasy, overcooked and salty. Maybe intentional to make up for the bland meat? Hoping this was just an off day for them. read more

Great food. Philly steak sandwich is on point. I usally get their philly steak and few times s a month. They use quality meat.

Never disappoints! Sandwiches are great and so are the hot wings! Owner takes care of his customers.

I'm on a quest for the best Philly Cheese Steak (PSC), and this place was close by so we decided to try. I was starving, so went for the big size Philly Cheese steak bomb. Added a side of chili cheese fries. The food hit the spot, in terms of hunger. But I think my hunt for the best PCS in LA continues. This one needs more cheese. And there was no cheese wiz on the menu. No harm, no foul. It was a tasty bite. But I won't be dreaming about it. read more

Dropped in on a Sunday and it was dead, but that didn't matter because i can't stop thinking about the roll my cheesesteak came on. It had a slight crunch that lasted the whole sandwich and it wasn't too bready either. It was tender and matched the steak and cheese that i ordered. It really hit the spot I'll be coming back to travel the menu a bit read more

One of the best Philly cheesesteaks you can have. Have been coming here for years. Service is great and food is prepared immediately upon ordering. Never disappointed with the dish here. 3 booths available and bar style seating as well. Parking can be tough sometimes as it's in a shopping center. But definitely would say stop and eat here read more

Tried this place with my friend on a Friday night, and it was dead. Got chili cheese fries and the mushroom steak with provolone. The chili cheese fries were pretty good, liked the cheese sauce they used on them, and my mushroom steak sandwich was good too, better than some other steak sandwiches nearby. You can actually taste the steak, which blended well with the mushrooms, onions, and provolone, but wasn't a big fan of the bread, it was a little too much. For a Philly cheesesteak, I'd expect it to be greasy, which it really wasn't. The place was really clean though and they had plenty of parking. read more

With a 4 star average on Yelp, I decided to give this place a shot. They are located in a small plaza with onsite parking. Upon walking in, I noticed their was no one in the store and it looked that way for while. I ordered the 7" cheese steak and 6 pieces of lemon pepper wings. After waiting about 15 minutes or so, I received my order and went home to enjoy it. Got home and unwrapped the sandwich and I noticed how small it looked. Not a lot of meat. The bread tasted like it was a day old and just thrown in the oven to toast it. The sandwich was very salty and the meat was overcooked. I thought flavor wise, it was just ok. I really couldn't get over the saltiness of it though. When I opened the box for my wings, I thought to myself how sad it looked. These have got to be the smallest sized wings I have ever seen. As for taste, it was overcooked and a little on the dry side. I was afraid of this because when I was driving home, I did notice it was giving off a burnt smell. I did like the flavor of the lemon pepper though, but it was offset by how small it was. read more

There are so many better options. I watched the operator pull the cold meat out of the pre-packaged wrapper and dump the block on to the griddle. He pushed it around, scooped it up, and dumped it into stale bread. The meat was stringy and had a displeasing flavor. It was overly chopped up - why do they destroy the meat that way? I felt like it was like canned chipped beef. It was gross. It was far too salty, which might be because it makes the meat last longer? I don't know, it was just not worth eating. The bread was not fresh. Bread is IMPORTANT. I ate half of it because I was hungry and wanted to change my mind. I didn't change my mind and I threw out the other half. read more

Love this place and they have the best Philly Steak Sandwich (California Style, Fuck Philly.) If you are one if them people that love the special bread from philly (Amaroso) then you are out if luck. At this place they use a roll that is toasted and packed with cheese and meat. I just love the taste and little crunchiness in the bread. That shift Amaroso does not do it for me, gets way too soggy. If you are ever in Tarazan, Ca. Stop by Sam and judge it for yourself. I am a big fan of this place and when craving Steak Sandwich,this is the place for me. read more

Work crew and I were hungry, then we saw this spot. I haven't had Philly cheesesteak in awhile so I guess the craving kicked in. The menu had a decent selection of sandwich and burgers. I went with mushroom cheesecake and chilli cheese fries on the side. The chilli cheese fries was good. The whole thing was covered in cheese and I was pretty happy about it. I just wish they gave a little more chilli. The mushroom cheesesteak was not bad. The meat inside was very well done and it reminded me of Philly. The bread though, I wasn't used to have it fully toasted with cheesesteak and had a hard time adjusting to the texture. Overall I had a good lunch. It wasn't authentic Philly, but still pretty good. The service was nice and accommodating. I would stop by again if I was in the area. read more

After my favorite steak sandwich place closed years ago, The Great Steak & Potato Co, I've been searching for a good local steak sandwich place. I drove by Sam's. The location is convenient and the parking lot has lots of available spots. The place looked extremely clean and the gentleman was really nice. I ordered the 7" steak, cheese, and mushroom sandwich (the smallest of the two sizes). The food was ready in less than 5 minutes. I must say, although not like the Great Steak & Potato Co, it wasn't bad at all. The bread was soft and fresh, the ratio of meat to bread was great, and I loved that the bread wasn't thick. I don't like steak sandwiches that have thick bread so that you could barely taste the meat. They also had other items on the menu such as salads, burgers, and hot dogs. The price was reasonable about $8. I would definitely come again. read more

We still love this place! It's our comfort spot. it's nostalgic for my husband and I.... Taking it back nearly 15 yrs when we first started dating. Lol now we come here as often as we can given our strict schedule with "life" Food quality is still the same! Owner is nice and the sandwiches are bomb.! read more

Very clean restaurant. A little hard to find but fantastic food (next to IHOP). I ordered the Philly with onions and mushrooms with provolone. $17 for foot long. Fantastic flavor. Well worth every penny. Owner was kind. read more

I went back to Sam's Philly Steak since I was in the area to see what it's like after years of not getting the chance to pop in. The place was remodeled some time ago and now has a more sleek and tidy design. The owner is still there making food to order at the speed of light (my order was very fast, even with having three items). The super cheese steak is definitely something I'll be coming back for if I'm in the area because of how filling and tasty the steak, onions, mushrooms, and peppers are, and the chili cheese fries have a perfect balance of taste and melt in your mouth goodness. Even as prices have gone up the past few years especially with other restaurants, this one has stood the test of time and continues to provide great value for great tasting food. read more

Good food, FABULOUS bathroom, but by far the SMALLEST $11 sandwich I've ever seen.....and I have small hands!

i really wanted to like this. i will say the meat was pretty good. we got the pepper steak and the pastrami. both again were pretty good. my issue with this is what you get for the price. specifically the size of the bread. the bread itself is so small and when i took the sub out of the bag, i was extremely disappointed. you get bigger bread from subway and for cheaper. i will unfortunately never return because of that reason. read more

I wanted to take a moment to thank the owner of Sam's Philly (Armen) for giving us all a philly cheese steak in the valley which we can all rely on. Each sandwich is made to order right in front of you with the freshest ingredients only. I am a huge fan of this sandwich as it truly gets the job done. Would love it even more if he could add some whiz to the menu! read more

First time trying this place as I approached the counter and asked a few questions the weirdo owner starts getting irritated. That's strange he didn't know anything about cheesesteaks, which was disappointing. Nevertheless I ordered and the food was extremely MID. The sandwich was lacking meat it looked like a kids meal. I'll pass forever on this place and the strange owner, I should've left when I walked in and the place was empty at lunchtime. read more

A good one. Worth it to try. The beef was tasty and no smell at all. Freshly cooked. Staff wearing masks. Good amount of beef in the sandwich. Juicy and tasty. Quick serving. Polite staff and will go there again. Little pricy, 12 in Philly Steak sandwich with a drink cost over $17.25. Not sure if that attracts customers. However, the food was OK. Specially the taste of the beef is very important. Good amount of bell paper and juice inside the sandwich. read more

This place is freaking delicious! I'm a huge fan of crinkle cut fries, so that's a plus. I got the all beef hot dog, which tastes just like the one at Costco. I got cheese sauce on my hot dog, it was definitely overkill because the hotdog was great by itself. I also got cheese sauce for my fries. Their cheese sauce tastes just like the nacho cheese from Taco Bell, yum! :) read more

My dad showed me this little hole in the wall the other day and I was surprise on how much I enjoyed such a classic dish that I tend to not go for. Located in the Tarzana area, sit in a small shopping complex Sam's Philly steak. This place reminds me of a classic burger or hotdog spot. No frillsOr reclaimed wood, just gray tones bench seats and a hard-working owner in the back that serves a fresh meal I went with just the classic steak cheese onion mix on white bread 12 inches. What I fell made this spot Unique was the fresh bread and clean ingredients that I had a lot of flavor. The bread was different than your usual cheesesteak. Well most of the time you have a soft roll bread that absorbs the grease and cheese whiz, hear you had a more structured crunchy roll That held together the sandwich. The rest of the ingredients were simple and had a lot of flavor and just worked out well in my opinion. In addition, they had Classic crinkle fries that were properly fried and crispy. Overall, if I am in the mood for some cheesesteak, I would definitely come back here. I give this place for out of five stars. Hope you enjoyed my review and check out my page for more in the local area read more
