This place is great! It has a decent amount of parking and the food is really good. I get the pepperoni Cheesesteak and the Cheese fries. Size wise it's not super wide but about a foot long. Classic Philly cheese taste with options for different cheeses (white American seems to be default). Overall my cheese steak coated around 13 and with the cheese fries around 20. Overall good deal and great experience.

Been coming to this location for yearly 8 years, and it's never once disappointed. Walked in today, and they were pretty busy. Service was fantastic, and they whipped up about 7-10 phillys at once which took care of about 3-4 of us waiting in only 10 min. Phillys always taste perfect. One of my favorites in LA. Solid vibes inside.

Good sandwiches, but a bit overpriced for the size that you get. Came here one night to get a couple Philly Cheese Steaks, a burger, and some onion rings. The burger was the best deal and tasted very good. The Cheese Steaks were just a bit pricy for what they are. The Onion rings consisted of about 5 onion rings for $5. I would not get those again. Service was fine, but not overly friendly. Kind of what I would expect from a Philly cheese steak place if I was back east. The man cooking the food was quite nice, but the guy at the registered made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. Of course this was counter service that makes you answer the "tip question at the end." I don't get why anyone would tip for "to go" food. But I know that many people do. I'm glad that they participate in AA dining, so i could score some miles from this meal.

"Cheese Attack" Crew Special / steak, mushrooms, American, provolone, cheese wiz - 5! I only recently discovered Philly's Best Cheesesteaks, which is a shame because I love cheesesteaks! Cheesesteaks are in my top ten all-time favorite sandwiches. The Philly's Best Burbank store was my second visit to one of their locations. They have over a dozen locations around Southern California and if my first two visits are any indication, they all are amazing. In addition to their robust regular menu, the Burbank location also has a menu board with a bunch of custom combinations courtesy of their crew. I love this idea and I knew I had to order from their "secret" menu. I chose the Cheese Attack, featuring three melted cheeses. It was very cheesy but the flavors paired well with the steak and mushrooms without dominating the sandwich. Honestly, this could be a standard menu option and lots of people would enjoy it. My sandwich was fresh, hot, and delicious. Consistent with the other location, Philly's Best places the cheese on the bread before they add in the meat. I don't mind cheese on top but I like that everything stays together this way without making a mess. The staff was friendly and helpful. They were quick with the order. Like the other location I visited, they turn their shop into a shrine for Philadelphia and they also focus on street art accents which is nice to see. It is in a small strip mall with limited parking but there is lots of easy street parking nearby. I am two for two with Philly's Best and I look forward to discovering more of their locations as well as returning to the two I've been to so I can try more of their menu.

Solid cheesesteak/sandwich spot with lots of options. Cheesesteaks/sandwiches are about $12. Some other options include salads, chicken fingers, french fries and soft drinks. Lots of Philly-themed decor...nice to browse while you wait. A welcomed change to the fast-food places in the nearby area. Friendly and efficient staff.
