My husband was craving a Philly cheesesteak, so we decided to check out Philly’s Best Cheesesteak and wow, I’m so glad we did! I’ve always been a fan of cheesesteaks, but this place completely changed the game for me. I ordered their Classic Cheesesteak, and it was amazing the bread was super fresh, the cheese perfectly melted, and every bite was packed with flavor.
The place itself was clean and well kept, which I always appreciate. The service took a little time, but honestly, the food was worth the wait. Overall, a great experience I’ll definitely be back for another cheesesteak fix!

It’s been a LONG while since I’ve eaten at this location, and it’s great to see the quality hasn’t changed much in terms of their cheese steaks. I’ve always gone for the Philly’s Best or the Pizza Cheese Steak, and this time around I introduced my family to this franchise location, and we all left very satisfied (though a little sleepy from food coma…they do not skimp on the steak here). My son and daughter are not big cheese steak fans, but they devoured their pizza steak and the pizza steak fries.
The cashier was very friendly, and the cook himself brought out our order to us at our table. The service was very friendly and added to the welcoming atmosphere.
Definitely bringing the family back here next visit to Irvine.

This is true cheesesteaks at their finest. I have been going to this Philly’s Best since I was in high school. I love the cheesesteak with provolone just the meat and cheese, but my wife likes to get a cheesesteak with all the veggies from the hoagies.

We visited Philly’s Best in Irvine, and I am embarrassed to say it was my first time ever having a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I had no idea what I was missing out on, and I was shocked at how delicious it was! We tried both the Philly’s Best and the BBQ Cheesesteak sandwiches; and both were made-to-order, served hot, and were so incredibly tasty! Try it with provolone cheese, grilled onions, and add the peppers and pickles they give you. It is a very hearty meal, and the fries are also made to perfection!

Having had cheesesteaks in Philadelphia I have to say this is certainly the closest out here on the west coast! Not all franchise locations are the same and certainly this one was cleaner than the one I go to up in Los angeles, however this location didn’t quite have the same mushroom style (as pictured below)
and didn’t have the yellow banana peppers so that was a bit of a disappointment.

I think, if the Philly steak falls short, it might be lacking in flavor, texture, or authenticity.
I do not recommend this place!

I’m leaving this review for Juan.
This man makes me want to open up another restaurant.
Customer service off the charts, food’s pretty good too.

This was my first time at Phillys Best and I’m absolutely kicking myself for not giving them a try sooner. I have lived all over the country and cheesesteak is a staple comfort food for me. So when you can find authentic Philly Cheesesteaks in Southern California with freshly flown in bread and real Cheese Wiz, it’s a can’t miss. I would like to thank Josh, for taking extra care in making our sandwich’s himself, knowing it was our first time in and wanted us to have a great experience and we did. We also tried the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich as well as the Cheesesteak Fries, both of which were packed with meat and oozing with cheese. I highly recommend an authentic Philly with Cheese Wiz if its your 1st time in, it’s a classic and done completely authentic
I will be coming back regularly and will be telling everyone I know to give Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks a try.

Whether or not this place lives up to the name is certainly open to interpretation, but I’d say whether or not it’s true doesn’t matter that much when the sandwich is just really good anyway!
The cheese is melted just the way you expect it to be, the bread is toasted enough that it doesn’t get soggy, and the proportions of everything is just right so you get that perfect mix of everything in every bite.
