I like this place- It is nothing fancy, but good quality food at a fair price, the service is great, I always call ahead, and my order is ready when I arrive.
I like the cheesy beef, I'm a fan ..I don't usually order fries ..but I did yesterday, and they are always done, just right. Again, nothing fancy here, When it comes to a beef sandwich, I think this is a better value than other places.
I stopped in this restaurant tonight to try one of their Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and was pleasantly surprised. Â The reason is I'm probably the only 50 year old in the entire city that has never had a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich before. Â My preconceived ideas that kept me from trying it all these years was completely wrong I'm happy to say. Â
I was afraid that the sandwich would be greasey and have a strong greasey flavor, but thankfully the meat was nice and moist (without being greasey) with excellent flavor. Â I can't say it's better than others since I've never had one before, but I can say I wish I'd tried them many years before now after eating here. Â That's ok I'll just have to make up for lost time by coming back frequently. Â It was very tasty and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. Â I got to sit and chat with Dean the owner for a while and had a nice conversation. Â Basically it was just a real good experience. Â He asked me for honest input on my thoughts about his establishment and I felt at ease talking with him and I always appreciate it when an owner asks for honest feedback about his establishment.
The decor of the restaurant is not anything to get excited about, but hey it's a sandwich and pizza shop. Â I found the clean and not overdone interior to be exactly what I want a sandwich place to be. When I want a good sandwich all I'm looking for is good flavors and a clean environment and that's exactly what I got here.
If I had one suggestion to make to this place is that maybe they should encourage customers to order large sandwiches instead of the regular size. Â I got the regular size and it certainly filled me up, but the gluttonous side of me was screaming for more. Â Oh well, I'll know better next time and get the large size and that way I can pig out until it hurts.
Overall if you're looking for a good sandwich stop in and try their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Â It's a winner!
I usually go to this Philly's because they're really close to work, and I can call ahead, walk over and get my sandwich. Â I haven't done delivery from here (it's too close to really merit that) but the sandwiches are good and they have good salads. Â Plus you can get Tastykakes there!
Review Source:Let me start by saying I've had a lot of Philly cheese steaks in my day, including the top 3 cheesteaks in the country according to Philadelphia magazine, and this place ranks as my second favorite behind Philly Way in Milwaukee. Great cheesteak and the chicken one actually rings in as my usual go-to greasy food.
So why not five stars? Because one time I made the mistake of picking my food up instead of getting delivery and the kitchen and equipment was absolutely disgusting. As a line cook, it was truly disgraceful. Other than that, I've got nothing but good things to say about this place.
Sometimes they're a 4 star, sometimes they are a 1. This place is sooo inconsistent, I am scared to order from them anymore. The last 3 orders, they have not got my order correct. One time, the pizza was so undercooked, the dough was completely raw! It had the consistency of Play-dough on the bottom. This has to be a health code violation. When they do get it right, and don't muck with the food, we like the cheese steaks. Sorry, I gave this place many chances. They just don't seem to really care.
Review Source:As someone who has lived in Philly for four years, I finally resigned to try this place out.
When I first moved here, I was totally put off by the fact that a "Philly Cheese Steak" was nothing more than a roast beef sandwich. Â Okay, so it was at some tourist place on the Navy Pier, but nevertheless it was upsetting. Â I then realized that Chicagoans go for the beef, not the cheesesteak. Â After a couple other failed attempts, I gave up on trying to find A Philadelphia equivalent. Â Anyway...
I ordered from this place a couple times, and I must say I am reasonably impressed. Â After going to some different places in Philly I realized that a lot of places can't get it right. Â There was one slight mix up on my first order but one of the owners, Dean, was really nice and quick to call me and apologized for the mess up. Â These guys are actually from Philly too, and I can definitely taste the authenticity in the steaks. Â It has been a long time since I've been back to Philadelphia for a hoagie, but this is definitely the best I've had in Chicago.
The food was okay. The philly was okay. The fries were okay. If this review was only about the food, I would have given them 3 stars. But this review is about so much more than the food. I have travelled a lot, and I have eaten in a lot of restaurants both stateside and abroad that might turn your stomach. But Philly's Best... gross. Really gross.
1) As we chose a table (from the 3 or 4 in the place) to sit at while waiting for our food, I remarked to my husband that all the tables were dirty, and that I would wipe one off, but there were no napkins available. So we sat at a dirty table. No big deal. I eat off a plate anyways.
2) The food arrives. Looks good. I decide to walk over to the small condiment area to grab salt, spices and ketchup. As I reached for one of the bottles many (as in a LOT) of fruit flies flew far and fast away from my hand as it touched the bottle. Gross. There were tons of fruit flies all over the only available bottle of ketchup. Just saying, fruit flies lay eggs, tons of eggs. I brought them to the table, but too grossed out, I didn't use the ketchup, or the salt, or the spices.
3) As we ate, my husband pointed to the clear glass spice canister sitting on our table and says, "See that?" There was some piece of unidentifiable plastic piece just chilling in the red pepper flakes.
4) Right before we left some young kids came in and ordered pizza by the slice. As their food was brought to the table I noticed that the pizza was burnt, which is ironic because the pizza when ordered by the slice is already made, just sitting in a glass warmer on the counter. They must have warmed it double in the oven before serving it to the kids and it was burnt! Then the kids pointed out that they had received a piece that was not what they ordered. The server handed the wrong slice to the guy behind the counter who then put it back in the glass case with his bare hand. The cashier guy touched the pizza. But who cares because the customer who originally received it probably touched it too since it was left on their table for a few minutes before the waiter picked it up for an exchange.
Most of the reviews about this place are based on delivery. Maybe thats the way to go. But if you plan to eat in, plan to be grossed out.
Soooo good. Â I'm not usually a big philly's cheese steak fan since I've always had bad experiences with dried out meat, but this place rocked!
I got the original Philly Cheese Sandwich. Â Onions and white American cheese come standard, I added extra cheese, green peppers and mushrooms to mine. Â The meat was juicy and plentiful, and the toppings added a good depth of flavor. Â They piled on plenty of everything, and it was all great.
It took a while to arrive, but it was nice and hot and not at all soggy when it arrived.
I will definitely be ordering from here again!
On a less delicious note, my man made the mistake of ordering cheese fries in a delivery order. Â I could have told him that was a dumb idea if he had bothered asking, but needless to say they weren't all that delicious. Â A little soggy, a little bland. Â I'm not taking away from their stars since cheese fries should be an dine-in choice only. Duh!
Oh man. I wanted to like this place. I really really did. My guy tried to warn me about their delivery service and the food but I didn't listen.
We both got Grinders. The meat to bread ratio was ridiculous--if I had wanted to eat hard bread with some dry chicken and bacon in it, I would have just done that myself. I can screw up a sandwich all on my own, thanks. It was supposed to have chipoltle mayo and cheese on it and there was almost none of that. I'm also fairly sure they forgot the cheese altogether because I ate half the sandwich (I was STARVING) and never found it. There was a light hint of the mayo, though, in one bite. Then it was over.
The fries were cold and the side of cheese I ordered was watery and cold.
The order was late--which is awesome.... and probably explains why the food was cold.
Just save your money.
Awesome FOOD!! Love their steak rolls,bang bang shrimp,traditional philly steak,and chicken philly! Cheese fries seasoned also GREAT! We order quite often from here and love it!!!!! Oh and they have cheese fritters which are Delicious!!
If you haven't ordered from here or any of the locations for that matter yet you must do so!!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! This place has got to be one of my top go to places to order from!
Easily the best Philly I've ever had.
I'd wanted to try this place for awhile. It's location (attached to a hand car wash, which also has a convenience store attached to the other side...car, philly, smokes, 6 pack) alone is great.
I've had many a Philly in my life, and this one nailed it. First and foremost: THEY HAVE WHIZ. Sorry guys, but provolone and mozzarella are two of the most boring cheeses known to man. Pasty, white, tasteless. Great for a pizza, and nothing else.
These guys actually do it right, or at least offer the right options. A regular sandwich comes on French bread, w meat, cheese, and onions. Why do you pay extra for green peppers and mushrooms? Because a real cheesesteak doesn't have that stuff. Look it up. Their sandwiches don't come with dip because you don't need it.
I got the full sandwich, there was ample meat, enough cheese wo there being too much, and enough onions wo being too much. I could taste the cheese and onions but the sandwich was decidedly full of meat. The bread was soft but still chewy, something French Bread claims to be but rarely is. The meat was flavorful and juicy.
It was all and all the best Philly I've ever had. I used to test sandwich places by ordering a Philly and comparing. This place wins, overall, no problem.
Also - cheddar nuggets? Do yourself a favor. My GF got those, I got cheese fries. Cheese fries are, in my experience, usually cooked up w some cheese on top. These guys put cheese on the bottom, in the middle, AND on top. 7/5 stars.
I placed an online order for delivery on Saturday January 7 2012. Monday morning I discovered an extra charge to my bank account in the amount of $32.20. I called the restaurant on and off on Monday asking to speak to the manager who I was repeatedly told was not in, and who would call me back after leaving my phone number. I left my number and after a few hours was called back by Dean who found the error and immediately reversed the transaction. He was apologetic and courteous.
I order from here a lot so I'm glad it was solved quickly.
Eh, what happened here? Â
We used to order from Philly's Best a bunch a few years ago, stopped for a while then ordered last night. Â Kinda wish we hadn't. Â Boy, quality control seems to have left the building over there. Â My sandwich was burnt, the turkey tasted freezer burnt, the bacon was barely there and barely cooked. Â The fries, oh dear, the fries....cold rubbery sticks of sadness.
My husband said his Philly steak was fine, but then again, he was so hungry I could have fed him gravel and he would have thought it was good.
The online ordering is handy and easy. Â Getting the sandwich down the gullet is harder these days it seems.
It always boggles our minds that even though we live pretty close, it always takes an hour for delivery.
I do not like Cheesesteak. Â In fact it grosses me out. Â I have never tried the Cheesesteak, or any other sandwich for that matter, at Phillys Best.
So why am I reviewing the restaurant? Â For the PIZZA!
Growing up in Boston, a staple dinner was greek style medium crust pizza. Â Not to thick, not too thin, and certainly not floppy like NYC style pizza. Â Sweet tomato sauce, lots of cheese. Â Just enough grease, and served cut into triangles for goodness sakes!
When I moved to Chicago three years ago, I was willing to accept that deep dish is delicious, but I still craved my medium crust greek style pizza from home. Â While working up in Lincolnwood, I discovered Eastern Style Pizza. Â But, now that I no longer work up there, West Rogers Park is a little far to travel for pizza.
And then came the day that I stumbled across Philly's Best. Â I don't know how it happened, but I am so glad it did! Pizza served piping hot, with just the right sauce, cheese and crust.
Plus, you can order online, and they send tons of coupons via email.
My only gripe is that the order is almost never ready when they say it is. Â Small price to pay for a little slice (ha ha) of home!
It was my mistake. I have a more-sensitive-than-average stomach, and I knew going in that a steak from Philly's Best would hurt me. I had no idea it would be as bad as it was, though. I wasn't, er, "right" for about three days.
My wife got the same style of steak as me, and she was fine. So, it's my fault. But, yeah, not the highest quality steak you'll ever find. No, it doesn't even come close to Pat's or Gino's in Philly.
I always want to love little hole-in-the-wall joints, but this one didn't cut it for me. Most definitely won't be back.
Still haven't had Pats or Gino's but I have had Campos. This comes pretty close. It's a little to juicy for me but I don't mind making a mess when I eat a good Philly Cheese. It's best to come in and grab it yourself since the last two times I've ordered delivery it's taken over an hour to get a 'which. Not cool especially since they are less then 3 miles away.
I still don't get why this place is so small but who cares, I'll wait for hoagie or Philly when I'm in Logan.
Within every person exists a certain degree of self-loathing. It's not that people hate themselves or that they're bad people but even the perkiest and happiest of people have to have a little animosity towards themselves now and then and they also have different ways of dealing with it. Some of them drink till they black out. Some cheat on their spouses for a meaningless thrill. Some cut themselves. I eat a philly cheese steak with everything on it when I feel like giving my body a big middle finger. A loaded philly cheese steak with fries and a side of boss sauce to really drive it home.
A properly made Philly isn't so much a sandwich as it is a kind of beefy casserole molded into a log that kinda looks like a sandwich. If Artie Lang could be a sandwich it would be the cheese steak from Philly's Best. A fat, smarmy, self-indulgent, vulgar heroin addict of a sandwich that always entertains and makes you happy you gave it twenty minutes of your time and then you feel a little remorseful afterward.
Don't half ass this operation either. If you're gonna streak naked into the land of cheesy beef and fried onions do it all the way and order a large. You might not finish those last three or four bites but the remaining chunk will remind you of your shameful act and keep you from doing it again for at least a couple of months.
Over an hour for delivery and I'm like 6 blocks away... literally, 6 blocks. Â It was one of those hangover days where I just felt I'd rather pay $2.50 for delivery than walk 6 blocks in the cold. Â Over an hour! Are you serious?
So my shit arrives, small order of buffalo wings which were mediocre at best, they were meaty, sure... but the sauce was wack as hell. They weren't hot in temperature or spice level. Â I ended up covering them in franks red hot sauce which I had laying around in my pantry.
NOW.... the cheese-steak... Yeah, you guessed it: Served room temperature, cheese no longer melted, Â not a whole lot of flavor really even if it was hot and gooey as intended... I'm so pissed that I spent my money on this crap. Â Extremely un-impressed.
And i still tipped the delivery driver $4.50... It wasn't his fault my food was sitting under a heat lamp for an hour and his company is ass-wipe.
I swear to god, next time I stumble drunk out of the Whistler , I'm gonna make a detour one block northwest and scream vulgar obscenities into their envelope slot, Â piss on their door and wave my fist in their window.
Screw Philadelphia and all their sports teams too. Â And for the record... my brother went to school at the University of Philadelpha, I've been to Philly 3 times and I know what's up with cheese steaks. Â This food and service is garbage.
Overpriced, mediocre garbage.
Decided to try out the Philly's Best in Logan Square having been to the one on Belmont countless times. The place is a lot smaller and a little strange that you can watch cars get washed or repaired. I guess if I had dropped my car off for some work I would have enjoyed the scenery more.
The girlfriend and I each ordered a small philly cheesesteak with the whiz because that is the only way it should be ordered. Unfortunately I found that the one on Belmont makes a much better sandwich. This sandwich was a tad on the greasy side with not too much flavor. Overall we were pretty disappointed and most likely would just make the drive to Lakeview if I had a craving for another one.
The seasoned fries were crispy and tasty but they didn't save the meal.
I had counted Philly's Best out, having tried their cheese fries in the past and finding the combination of soggy fries and coagulated Merkt's cheese unappealing.
Honestly, Philly's Best you were dead to me.
But last night at 7 p.m. when the friendly delivery guy showed up at my friend's door, Â toting that familiar grease-soaked brown paper bag, you won me over and jump started your life for me again.
Seasoned cheese fries.
My friend ordered a large and told me we could share. I would have ordered my own had I known they changed the cheese recipe since my last disappointing delivery (hangover food, people).
The fries that were delivered were crisp, not soggy, smothered in a mild, cheddar cheese sauce that just begged for my fork to take another bite.
This was no thick, sharp tasting Merkt's cheese. It was smooth and almost buttery, Fuddrucker's quality cheese sauce. Perfect in its yellow-ey orangeness, neatly encasing a mound of piping hot well-seasoned french fries.
While Philly's Best offered regular AND seasoned fries, seasoned is the way to go, hands down. The seasoning sort of reminds me of Arby's curly fries, except hand cut and long and straight. Not overwhelming in flavor, just a mild reminder that what you are eating is fantastic.
The sogginess of the fries was gone. Maybe it was the promptness of the delivery guy, maybe they changed the batch of oil they fry them in right before my order went up -- it could have been a number of factors. Mabe this was one magical night where they got it right that can never be recreated. Whatever they did, it was delicious.
I actually said the words, "I gotta Yelp about these."
And, "I wish I could eat these forever."
My suggestion is to eat-in at Philly's Best if you want to get the guarranteed freshest tasting cheese fries, hot cheese steaming on top and ready for consumption.
Side note: They also make a mean cheesesteak. On garlic bread. GARLIC BREAD!
That is all.
I was told that this sandwich would "blow me away." Â It was indeed, really good, but definitely not in the "knock your socks off, roll your eyes back" category. Â Sorry, but any Chicagoan who grew up eating JUICY Italian Beefs will not be really impressed with a cheese steak. Â
I've never had a Philly cheese steak before, so I was expecting great things considering a Philly native dragged me here to experience my first. Â He swore up and down, that this was the real deal. Â I got mine with the American white cheese... I did so because that was the default option and I figured, try it first they want to serve it to ya like. Â
The steak is indeed great. Â It's the overall taste impression that kinda deflated my balloon. Â After some chewing, and the flavors combine and break down, this sandwich tastes EXACTLY like a Philly cheese HOT POCKET. Â I mean, EXACTLY. Â In hindsight, I think ordering it with the American cheese was a mistake, and why this tasted so very very close to a store bought generic Hot Pocket. Â I should have opted for the cheez whiz or Provolone. Â Â
Furthermore, even with all the cheese, the sandwich somehow still came across as being somewhat dry? Â Â
So that's what was kind of disappointing about my Philly's Best cheese steak. Â I will try again, with the cheez whiz next time, and I will not be so shy about treating it like a pizza and adding other ingredients like mushrooms etc.
Philly's Best gets three stars for being really good, but I can't nudge that up to four stars when there are Italian Beefs that will satisfy my appetite all over this city, and trump a cheese steak every time.
Philly's Best is so good! Â Even though the paper bag your food comes in is so grease soaked that it's seethrough from your delectable meal to come, everything they have is delicious there.
I can't even take my car to get washed (it's located within a car wash place!) because I'll just end up gorging on cheesesteaks. Â Fried donut things are good too, I got a cramp in my heart just now even thinking about them.
I have been here several times now, they are consistent and they never seem to disappoint. I usually get the cheese steak. The combination of thinly sliced onions and meat really does melt in your mouth.
Today I opted to try the cheesy beef though. It was really tasty. They use their pizza cheese which is a blend of mozzarella and other cheeses, it has a unique taste.
Here's a dilemma that I often find myself in: I hate the city of Philadelphia with a (some would say irrational) passion, but I like its special brand of food. Â Obviously other people have found themselves in this same situation since this place seems to do a good business on more than SEPA ex-pats (like the two founders and owners).
And these owners go so far to bring Philadelphia to Chicago that they fly in Tastykakes. Â I swear it's so authentic that the veggie hoagie here is better than anything I've ever had in that (craphole of a) town! Â It's way more expensive than grabbing a hoagie or grinder from a street vendor near Independence Hall ($8.49 cents for pretty much the entire menu), but it also doesn't involve the attitude.
Well, I guess that's not entirely true. Â In an Ed Debevic's sort of way, the owners import this as well. Â There are a set of rules on the wall that are required readings. Â Don't order water! Â Don't ask for change! Â The sign just inside the door might be considered funny, but they mean it. Â But I don't subtract for this, I just know it going in.
The only real negative about this location is that I've never been in here where I haven't had to wait a long time for food to be made at the counter, even for carry out. Â I'd have it delivered to alleviate this wait, but that would be as rude as the city of Philadelphia itself since this place is near my apartment (but for other people that would be a viable option). Â
I wish it really was always sunny in Philadelphia because if it was, I might get some sunshine off this location as we approach winter (and if that magic happened, five stars for sure!). Â As it is I'm planning to at least get the food here every football Sunday through the Super Bowl. It's perfect football food. Especially to watch the Eagles lose and be overjoyed. Â I don't even really like football that much, but that's just how much I hate Philadelphia.
I lived in Philly until 1992. I know a good cheesesteak when I see one. I have whined and complained and had many, many discussions with my husband about what a real cheesesteak is.
We trekked in from Wood Dale just to sit in this little shop, sandwiched inside a car wash, and have the best cheesesteak I have tasted in 10+ years. It was made just right. I got a provolone wid -- i am not a big whiz girl -- and the bread was soft and chewy, the cheese was melty, the onions were sweet, the beef was salty and tender and... dear god, i am in love.
It's actually a good thing we don't live any closer, because I would get so fat. (Especially when you add in TASTYKAKES... I will not touch Little Debbies, Hostess, none of that. Tastykakes are the only snack cakes worth eating.)
The short of it: any Philly transplants will find themselves happy with Philly's Best.
The only reason Philly's Best (cheese steak sandwich in particular) doesn't get a 5-star is b/c El Cubanito's steak sam beats it out....and i'm talking *barely*, just by a thinly sliced piece of steak, as it were. Â And that's not to take anything away from PB's Cheese Steak, it is mindblowingly good. Â That just goes to show you how good El Cubanito's is, it is just that unbelievble, trust me.
Why even comment on the pizza or anything else here when there is really only one reason to come here and that's for their "(Reg) Steak, whiz, wit." Â End of.
"Large steak, whiz, wit-out, add mushrooms."
I've been to a lot of cheesesteak stands in Philly--Geno's, Pat's, Tony Luke's, etc.--and this place, hands down, runs with the big dogs in terms of authenticity when it comes to true Philly Cheesesteaks.
Located inside a carwash, this location is hands down the best. The others are too clean, too new, and sometimes more expensive. Cheesesteaks are meant to be eaten on stoops in South Philly, on car hoods, street corners, and in alleys. It's not cosmopolitan, it's not fancy. Sure, it's a little weird wandering into a car wash to order a steak, but man, once you bite into it and see how close in proximity the car wash employees are to Philly's Best, you'll become jealous.
What makes this great is that they import the majority of things from Philly. The meat, the rolls, and even Tastee Cakes. I believe that adds to the somewhat substantial cost of a steak, but it's worth it in the long run. If it was left up to some other asshole not from Philly, who wouldn't bother importing, you'd get an italian Beef with some bullshit provolone on it. No dice. While I'd love to give it five stars, the price really kills when it comes to delivery. A small steak, delivered, will run you $10, with no fries or drink. The delivery charge is a little steep, thus I'm forced to knock it down a star. I try to just go in and eat since I like the ambiance anyways.
If you find yourself in here, order it authentic with the whiz. It may seem weird, but it's greasy ambrosia from The City of Brotherly Love. Plus, it's a hell of a hangover cure. If you can't see the sandwich through the paper, and if it's not dripping whiz from dangling pieces of rib-eye, it's not a real cheesesteak.
Authentic Philly Cheesesteak = Rib-eye, Whiz on an Amorosa roll. You can order it "wit" (fried onions), but I don't want to see Cheddar, American or any other cheese on there. I don't want to see any lettuce or tomato. Don't try to tell me it is better with that, then you like a cheese-steak, NOT a "Philly Cheesesteak."
I debated taking away a star for the fact that the Whiz is a substitution and not the standard, but I decided against it. Because if you order it right, it is as close to an authentic Philly Cheesesteak as you can get in the Midwest. It's like a taste of home.
I'm a fan of just about every type of food Philly's Best serves. I've heard so many people rant and rave about how good Philly's Best is. I've read as they patted themselves on the back for importing everything from Philadelphia, including their chefs, meat, and hoagie rolls.
I must say: I'm not impressed.
The food is fair, but for the cost, I would rather see larger portions. Their fries are good. I'll give them that. It's a friendly, typically-decorated place where the owner constantly reminds anyone who comes in the door that they've just stepped into Philadelphia (now get the hell out of my way before I throw a tasteycake at you).
Maybe it was the hype, but i expected more. 3 Stars for not living up to my dreams of artery-clogging delight.
Perhaps the best hangover food ever. Â A consolation for watching the weirdest weekend in NFL Playoff history... Melty cheese and beef nearly makes up for having to see Eli Manning's stupid face for another week.
Philly Cheese on garlic bread and fries... mmmmmm. Â Awesome. Â Prices are reasonable, menu is a lot bigger than you'd expect, the beef is a bit stringier than you hope but the portion size more than makes up for it. Â Hey! Â I'm having the other half for lunch today, huzzah.
Very friendly, definitely local staff... owner is proud to be a former Philadelphian and they seem to get favorable Philadelphia reviews (according to their menu, but not Yelp apparently.) Â Can't wait to find an excuse to go to the adjoined carwash to scarf again.
Ordered there after reading the appealing menu selections. While I wasn't overly disappointed, it wasn't as great as I hoped it would be.
First, love the free delivery coupon that I had on a flier that was left in the mail slot or something like that. The girl that took my order was nice too. Â So, my bf and I ordered the seasoned fries, broccoli and cheese, I got the chicken breast grinder "owner style" and he got the zesty garlic chicken tenders with honey mustard.
The food arrives, YAY! The grinder is huge--I did get the large and figured I could save half for lunch the next day. This was the best thing that we ordered. Â The seasoned fries were soggy, the broccoli and cheese was literally frozen broccoli and cheese sauce. Â They also sent us chicken wings instead of chicken tenders. I called about that and they apologized and said that they could either give a credit on the next order or bring us out an order of the chicken tenders so that was nice. Â
Overall, it wasn't the best, but I would order it again because it was pretty cheap and maybe have another grinder or a cheesestake.
Triangle sliced pizza! Rejoice!
Don't get fancy with Philly's, that's not what it's for. Â
Order a cheese and pepperoni pizza. Â Eat it while drinking beer. Â No plate, just let the grease drip into the box or onto your pants; depending on how hard core you are. Â
The crust isn't technically thin. Â It's more of the hand tossed variety. Â
The Philly cheese steak sandwich was disappointing (too many onions, grisly meat, no peppers) but the meatball sandwich (on garlic bread) was heartburn heavenly delicious.
Plus, they deliver to my house, to my 3rd floor apartment. Â That's why they get 3 stars.
Best Cheesesteak in the city. The real deal, and I've been to Geno and Pats in Philly. Plus, I'm more of a Italian Beef Connoisseur.
We ordered some cheese-steaks from PB and I was delighted with what we got. 2 huge cheese-steaks, garlic bread and some type of cookie dough desert.
delicious..sandwiches are huge, enough for the next day even and I'm a big eater.
If you order on-line for the first time you get 10% off.
fast and cordial delivery.
You know that fishbowl waiting room you sit in while you get your oil changed or car washed/fixed? Â The one with the crappy magazines and observation windows so you can see that your car's still stuck up on the lift? Â That's basically where this place is.
Yeah, this Philly's Best is housed in a little office room with a door to the outside street, but completely surrounded by a car wash with viewing windows and everything. Â So I guess if you want a bite to eat while waiting for your car to be detailed, this place is about the best waiting room in the world. Â The cheese steaks here are comparable to the excellent steaks at the location up in Evanston. Â But the atmosphere triggers memories of endless waits to spend lots of money on car repairs and for that I can only rate this location as OK. Â If you go here for a good steak, I recommend carry-out.
EDIT: If you go, stick to the cheesesteak. Their grinders aren't that great.
The day I moved to Chicago, I walked to the nearest eatery after an 18-hour drive and an hour of carrying boxes up stairs.
I was exhausted, starving and would have settled for anything that vaguely resembled food.
I stumbled into Philly's Best and slipped right into a $4 slice of heaven.
The cheesesteak was amazing, especially with a little hot sauce and garlic. The fellows hanging out were charmingly surly and gave the place a clubhouse-type ambiance that washed away any trace of California homesickness.
I only wish I spent more time on my block, so I could eat Philly's Best every day.
