Philly's Best - Irvine

Ok so Firstly these Philly sandwiches are good I can’t lie I’ve come 3 times total and all 3 times the taste has been consistent . Secondly these guys (they usually are a group of 3) are very quick and efficient in working together when it comes to getting your food ready. Thirdly the portion size are worth the price I’ve heard reviews saying how expensive it is which I do agree I payed around $13 tax included which is quite costly but to be fair they are very giving with the amounts of food At least in my experience. Lastly my one last thing that gets to me is the Hygiene. Me myself I take Hygiene very important these guys none of them wear gloves.. at all when they grab loafs of bread, tomato slices, lettuce, mushrooms I witnessed the guy grab it with his bare hands. I am pretty sure they will say they wash there hands with soap regularly I don’t doubt it they are busy almost 24/7 however gloves when working with food is a must as well as haircaps. They also talk a lot when they are working which doesn’t mind probably a average customer but to me it increases the chances of saliva getting on my food which kind of bothers me conversant after finishing work not while. None the less a few things to improve on and it would be 5/5

I am done. Started out great. Next...Fries burnt, onion rings burnt. Ordered a club and got a mushy warm Philly mystery meat sandwich. NO Ranch either...2nd time. I guess no one reads OR no one cares. It's not the end of the world, but enough to ruin an evening. Preventable and inexcusable

Stopped in and both workers were sitting down eating, then got up and made my food with out washing their hands and without gloves. Disgusting. Put my sandwich in the trash and went to the Lake Forest location where they handle food properly.

Her cheesesteak sandwich with mushrooms is delicious. this place is definitiw the high school hangout and brought back memories of the music they played at the beginning of the 2000s. the young behind the theke were quick and efficient in view of the midday rush. to come back soon.

The cheese steaks are absolutely amazing. I only gave it 3 stars because while we were there I watched the guy on the front counter leave the cash register and go directly to placing his hands inside the onion ring bag to cook our onion rings without even attempting to wash them.
