Best of Philly

Some of the best philly cheese steaks in az frendly staff and for a good price for my first time here I would definitely comeback.

Old school styling and interior give the place a cool vibe.
Food came out quick and delicious, only $ 17 for two full sandwiches and a large fry. Definitely will be coming back when I’m in downtown again next time.

Ehhhh not good and not bad. Very underwhelmed… The empty parking lot should have been a sign. Steak sandwich was bland but the bread was good.

Having best of philly right next to work is not good not as good as fore father’s in Twmpe but they’re still sooo good and I love seeing the owners working hard!

My wife and I had the pleasure of enjoying the Large Philly Steak is fairly lean and tender, thinly sliced, griddle fried with olive oil, splashed with onions and topped with a solid amount of tasty melted white American cheese in a 10″ Italian Bread roll along with an order of crunchy and tasty French fries. Touted as the best in Arizona, and although enjoyably tasty and fresh, in my opinion (for what it’s worth) it comes just slightly short of what one would call a true Philly! The diner-​like eatery is clean, nicely arranged with both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as great personal attention, allowing for a comfortable and gratifying quick lunch. As one to have had Phillies from across the country, including its hometown of Philadelphia, and can understand variations on the Philly theme, I tend to be a traditionalist in the sense that if a Philly Cheese Steak is not traditionally prepared, it should be called a ‘Philly-​Style’ Cheese Steak! I rationalize this statement under the same pretense just as I have reviewed and written about the traditional ‘Cuban Sandwich’. Despite Best of Philly’s derivation, it is, within reason, a very, very good sandwich. Regrettably, nowhere on their menu do they offer the ‘real’ thing which undoubtedly would include the deli roast beef of rib eye or occasionally top round steak griddled and chopped into virgin olive oil, afforded melted provolone cheese, with preferences like of pepper, sautéed onions, mayo, mushrooms, maybe some hot sauce, along with salt, pepper, and/​or ketchup, and it would be too costly to fly in the bread from PA… don’t get me wrong though, we’re not in Philly and this is the closest to a real Philly I’ve run across in Phoenix — keep it up guys, we’ll be back for more. Bön appétit!

Often overlooked, this place is a treasure hiding in plain sight. The space inside is tiny, but that’s exactly what makes this place special. You might be tempted to get a Philly sub, the staple serving of this location, but I’d suggest trying the Gyros. Welcome to midtown!

The food is amazing. Great cheese steaks. Only problem is that the owner cooks the food and hair from is arms always end up in my order. I’ve been there 3 times and it hasn’t failed yet. He’s an older fellow. Worth it if he’s not there.

why has it been so long since I have been here? this place is great! I’ve been to Philly and this is the closest thing you’ll find anywhere! I just wish they had bigger napkins!

Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb. I wish this place was open late. The bread can be the most important part of a philly and this place has a great roll. Try this place.

My favorite place for cheese steak. Been coming here for years. It is truly a mom and pop place so I love giving back to local versus paying a national franchise.

I ordered a chicken pita. What I got was a soggy, greasy, circle of dough that turned to paste when you touched it.
The chicken was precooked and reheated on a flat grill, so when you get it, it’s dry and over cooked.
The whole thing is incredibly bland and flavorless. It was not at all enjoyable.
I would have rather saved the $ 6 and gone to the sandwich shop down the street.

One of only two places in the Phoenix area that can make an excellent Philly Cheesesteak like I get in Philly. Sandwiches are a good size & the price point is reasonable

Got the gyro. It was good but very sloppy. Salad had huge pieces of lettuce. Next time I go I not mess around and get the Philly. Bathrooms are behind building outside. I will review when I get a Philly.

Great food and the owner is so personable. You don’t find that often. I’ll be going back there to try more than the amazing Philly cheese steak I had today

Drove a long way to try this and sadly not impressed! It was not bad just not great, hardly any cheese on it! If in the area may have again but NO special trips there! Had a philly at Freddy’s a day or so ago and it was much better!

Being from the east coast I have a high standard for my Philly Cheesesteaks. And let me just say that Best of Philly definitely lived up to it’s name.
Loaded hoagies, extremely fast service and a bounty of options to choose from? I’ll take it.
Definitely will be recommending this place! Will certainly be making a return visit! A+++

I’ve been coming for cheese steaks for a while now and wanted to write a review after my last visit. I think this place has the best cheese steaks in the valley. When I get a craving for a cheese steak, I make the drive here from Laveen. The staff has always been friendly and the place is always clean. I recommend you check this place out if you’re in the mood for a cheese steak.

Great Philly Cheesesteaks, and quick service. The seating area is lacking unless you eat outside but I definitely would go back

If you want a quick sandwich — this place is OK. It’s tiny inside but there is outdoor seating. The place was clean, bright and the people were friendly. The sandwich I had was the, «Bomb Steak.» It was filling but nothing to write home about. I would stop by again if I was in the area and wanted something quick.

All in all it was ok. The bread was the best part. The sandwhich was good just over priced for the volume of meat. Read Jack N’s review. Here it is.
The steak tasted good. Had a nice juice to it and was tender enough. I wish they put enough of it to fill the bun. The toppings also were a bit on the light side. If you are going to charge 7 bucks for a cheesesteak you should be generous with the toppings.
