John's Philly Grille(we close early when we run out of fresh baked bread)

This place has been around for about 30 years. Has to be within the top 5 of Philly cheesesteaks in Southern California. Only come if you like good sandwiches 🥪🤙

I would eat here almost 3x a week back then sinced I work Nextdoor. Although it’s been more than 10yrs….a cheesesteak shouldn’t be that much different…was kinda disappointed…dry no flavor and barely any cheese. Pastrami…too salty and a bit dry as well. Then I heard new owner took over…might explained it.

I really wanted to like it but I just can’t. First off the positive the fry’s were good and crispy. The bad…my Philly was lacking meat as half my sandwich had nothing but bread and the meat I had was not even chopped! I found a couple huge pieces, and on top of that the bread was completely soggy writhing 10 mins of receiving my food. I also order the Mac salad which was terrible, it tasted like salt and after 2 bites I tossed it out.

Anyone telling you there's a better Philly Cheesesteak in California is sadly mistaken. . This place has the right flavor, and bread. Always consistent and on point. Steak fries! They have been here for a long time and are a HB staple. You can order a half steak and half fry, walking out of there not spending much $ . Love this place!

Very loaded cheesesteak nice and juicy. Authentic
