Philly's Best Cheesesteaks — Restaurant in Lake Forest

Sometimes coming up with the proper analogy for this sort of review can be as difficult as finding a decent cheesesteak in Los Ange...(oh)

Anyway I felt bad for them and gave them the money back. I felt bad I was in a rush since I stayed all my lunch break there and I wish I gave them a tip. The sure...

I have eaten a few Philly Sandwiches when visiting PA. This place is the next best thing in the so cal. Every time my brother comes to visit from college. We always get a Cheesesteak with all the fixings. The service is friendly. Just drive slowly down lake forest or you might just miss it. I am hungry just thinking about it. Highly recommended! Don't go to Quiznos or subway for a...
