Philly's Best Cheesesteaks — Restaurant in Burbank

"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...

Philly’s Best is a small chain restaurant. Each is independently owned and operated. While all the locations have the same menu and similar décor I’ve found that punch cards from one location don’t work at the others. The Burbank location is located in an outdoor strip mall. It has a shared parking lot, good street parking (except on street cleaning day), and you’re able to park across the street in the pet store parking lot too. You order at the counter and wait for them to call your name. They have a good sized dining room that is crowded near the soda taps but otherwise offers elbow room. During lunch rush the line can get really long and the dining room can fill. It’s a popular spot. I come for the hoagies/sandwiches since they use Boar’s Head meat, which I prefer to Subway. My co-worker from Philadelphia comes for the cheese steaks. He says they’re not exactly like back home but good enough. I was disappointed with the fries and I haven’t explored the menu much...

I was in this part of the SFV today taking care of some personal business . I decided to stop by the Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks, I was introduced to them many years ago and fell in love with them on my very first visit. I use frequent this restaurant every time I went to Burbank and today was my first time in a very long time stopping by and all I can say is :

“ They hit grand slam “.

To me if you are in the SFV and you want a cheesesteak Philly Cheesesteak is the best place to go. Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks in Burbank is the perfect place to satisfy your appetite for a cheesesteak. Their onions are top notch and cooked to perfection in my opinion.

And if you’re in the west SFV area the Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks in Encino on Ventura Blvd is 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 as well. For the IE the Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks in Ontario off of Interstate 10 next to mall is another great 👍🏾 👍🏾👍🏾...
