“Although I already have a favorite for Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches this place is a close #2. Their food is tasty and they have my favorite kind of chewy ice. That in itself is reason for a good review. I do like Charley's... yummy...crunch crunch!!“
“Love this family run food truck and the fact that there is a gluten friendly option with the cheesesteak fries and Reuben loaded fries. The owners are so sweet and even made us loaded tots one day when they we're running low on some ingredients. Follow them on IG to get updates on location and schedule. Highly recommend for anyone working or living in the Santa Ana Civic Center during lunch time.“
“Gotta admit, Philly's Best holds a special place in my heart - a nostalgia trip like no other. Back when I was living the Woodbridge life in Irvine, this joint was on our hit list for both lunch and dinner. Now, I'm not exactly the beef sandwich type, but that didn't stop the squad from dragging me there time and time again. Nope, I was all about that Turkey Sandwich life. Their meats, their bread, and those bottomless pickles? They were the real MVPs, especially in a world where Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's, and Boar's Head were nowhere to be found.Flash forward nearly two decades, and I found myself back in Orange County, craving a taste of the past. But this time, I hit a different spot. Truth be told, my expectations were lower than a submarine's basement because most of my childhood food crushes haven't aged well. But surprise, surprise - Philly's has stepped up its game. They're serving Boar's Head meat now, a game-changer if you ask me. The place was empty, which had me worried, but I soldiered on and ordered 3 sandwiches - 2 cold cuts, 1 Philly, plus a side of fries and onion rings.And guess what? The pickle bar was still in business! In this post-COVID world, that's a rarity, my friends. These sandwiches were as big as a Jersey Mike's sub, but here's the kicker - the meat actually looked like meat and not melted cheese pretending to be meat, and the bread? It's like they found a time machine to bake it without all the preservatives. Price? Same as the competition. But they threw in fries and onion rings, a welcome change from the usual chips. Oh, and homemade ranch dressing! Why is it that so many places can't crack the code for this simple delight? Whether it's True Foods, Mortons, or even Denny's - they all struggle. Buffalo Wild Wings charges extra for it, but here, they make it from scratch and handed it to me on the house. Talk about a bonus! Maybe I should've made a side salad at home with the extra dressing.The service was as good as it could be. The girl at the counter was a sweet as a button. Zero complaints or suggestions there. I'm glad Philly's Best is still in the game. They've got some killer sandwiches, especially those Philly ones - they speak for themselves. My only concern? Their prices are on par with the big, soulless chains out there, despite serving up a superior product. It's tough to compete in that arena, but here's to hoping they make it. Best wishes, Philly's Best - you've got my sandwich-loving heart.“
“I've been to Philadelphia many times. Enjoyed sandwiches at multiple locations in that town.These franchises offer the most authentic and delicious renditions of the "real thing" outside of Philly!!"The Philly's Best" menu version (w/ mushrooms & peppers) ADD onions AND both white cheeses is MY go-to sandwich!!!ALWAYS VERY TASTY!!!The sandwiches have always had generous portions of the ingredients at reasonable prices.They still have generous portions, but ever since the democrats closed down commerce and hindered business and hampered supply chains during the "Plandemic", prices have skyrocketed everywhere!!!This business is not immune to that effect.While still a good value, it is, after all, a generous portion of steak, it can seem a bit pricey.DON'T BE DETERRED. IT'S STILL A TASTY GOOD VALUE!!!WELL WORTH THE VISIT...AT ANY LOCATION.Vegetarian options: If you go to a Philly CHEESESTEAK shop and want/expect vegetarian, your mentality is indeed VERY questionable!!!(While I'm sure they could accommodate... You just have to ask,WHY??!!!)“
