John's Philly Grille is a hidden gem for Philly Cheesesteak lovers. The freshly baked bread and juicy steak with peppers, onions, and mushrooms make "The Works" Cheesesteak truly delicious. The hoagie bread is fresh and flavorful, and the veggie hoagie is a must-try with sautéed mushrooms, peppers, onions, and thick avocado slices. The ambiance is nostalgic with indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the overall great experience. The place might look like a hole in the wall, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. The sandwiches are generously filled with steak and cheese, and the spicy kick from the peppers sets them apart. Many customers have found the cheesesteaks to be top-notch, with fresh, tasty bread and good fillings, making it a favorite spot for cheesesteaks in Southern California. The garlic pepper sauce is recommended to add extra flavor. Despite its slightly dated appearance, friendly staff and good service make it worth a visit. The restaurant has been a favorite for decades, with the cheesesteak sandwiches remaining the best, even as some items like cold sandwiches have changed over the years due to rising costs. Whether for dine-in or takeout, John's Philly Grille continues to serve delicious food that keeps customers coming back.
