Cheesesteaks near Seal Beach, CA

“Holy smokes this place deserves all the stars. First, shout out to the two girls who helped us. They were not only incredibly kind and patient, they were super helpful. They were the girls working the register and the other making sandwiches at the counter. Thank you both for your help! Now the food- the hoagie bread is fresh and flavorful. All four of us loved our food. I ordered the veggie hoagie hot- probably the best veggie sandwich I have ever had. Mushrooms, peppers and onions sautéed together topped with thick avocado slices. Can't wait to come back and try the pretzel and chicken parmigiana along with many others that caught our eye. They also sell some east coast comfort snacks like Tasty Kake which my fiancé had to have. Sadly, it's the only thing I was able to get a picture of because we demolished our food. Ambiance is nostalgic, old deli with signage and a TV. They have both indoor seating (about 3 or 4 small tables) and outdoor seating on the covered patio. Parking is plentiful with the private lot with minimal street parking.“

“Excellent quality and authentic flavor on this Philly cheese steak sandwich...and plenty of meat! Now days, so many places skimp on the meat and basically force ya to pay for extra meat in order to get a proper sandwich, but not John's. John's loads it up the right way! Also, the order of fries is massive...enough for 3 people.“

“I understand the topic of bad customer service these days has been beaten to death in the news and social media but this Philly’s location really took the cake.We went to pick up our phone order tonight and the young lady who charged us and handed us our bag was so unbelievably rude.My husband and I were very polite and for whatever reason got three eyerolls out of her in our 60 second transaction.We walked back in immediately because something was missing from our order and she acted like it was OUR fault. She gave it to us with an extra eyeroll before we left. We must have been inconveniencing her.Food here is fantastic, and that deserves at least 4 stars in my opinion, but I will not return to this location.“

“Like why are ratings so bad? The Steak Escape at Los Cerritos Mall was an excellent experience. In fact, it reminded me of childhood when mall food courts were a thing and you'd all be up in here on a Friday or Saturday with yo frendz trying to ration the $5 dollars yo momma gave you and yo allowance. Steak Eacape woulda been over my budget back then but here i am an adult living my best life. I ordered the Grand Scape small (8" - $8.99 - pricing may be different). It comes with steak, onions, mushrooms, green peppers + provolone. It also comes with lettuce and maybe other vegetables. Maybe. Whatever the case, this was good - definitely not the fatty experience I was anticipating, but deliicous nonetheless. Most mall cheesesteak experiences involve lots and lots of veggies which I find quite weird because sans mall, cheesesteaks can be veggie free. The meat was quite tender. While it could have stood for more flavor, I didn't mind it. The cheese offset the lack of flavor so at the end of the day, twas a win for everyone. Whatever it may be, Steak Escape made for a very great nostalgic escape and delicious meal.“

“I eat here often, my favorite lunch spot. Team Members are incredibly nice. Food is exceptional and made to order. Sometimes there is a wait but the meal is worth it! Accommodating to requests, no attitude, and good food...Guests are a hot mess express and leave trash behind. During busy times no one can clean up. Never disgusting, mostly receipts and lemonade juice.They should have adequate A/C as it gets hot back there, especially when it's busy!!“
