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!
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.

I believe that this was their first location and I have been going there almost from the beginning, since the early nineties. As a Philly guy, this is where I get my healthy fix of hoagies! I now travel internationally but Philly's Best was on my list to come back to for the food as well as the nostalgia
