The Scene
After searching L.A. for the perfect cheese steak, former Philadelphians Mitch Goldman and Smitty Smith decided to open their own shop. The decor is Philly-meets-Tinseltown: Faux exposed brick walls are covered with Eagles memorabilia and celebrity head shots (like one of Will Smith, whose autograph proclaims "Just like home!").
The Food
While hoagies and salads are offered, it's the authentic cheese steaks that make taste buds sing. Like any good sandwich, it starts with the bread, so dough is flown in from Philly's famed bakery, Amoroso's, for those crisp yet doughy rolls. Chips of rib eye and sweet onion are grilled to succulent perfection, then topped with a delectable blend of American and provolone cheeses. A hot veggie sandwich topped with tangy, garlicky marinara is a good vegetarian alternative. For dessert, try Philly favorites like Tastykakes, Italian water ice or peanut chews. The spicy fries can be too much; instead, order plain fries then flavor them yourself with spice shaker.

I stumbled upon this place by accident and boy am I glad I did. I'm from PA originally and these cheesesteaks are pretty authentic. Try it with mushrooms--yum! The sandwiches are huge and reasonably priced. They even have Tastycakes for dessert--makes me homesick...Perfect dinner before heading to the movie theater around the corner.

I've given this South Street a couple tries but every time I get more disappointed. The last time, my Cheese Steak's meat wasn't even cooked properly. This place may fly for those not from PA, but for those that are or want the true experience stay away. The fries are the best things about this place. For a Cheese Steak go a mile down Westwood blvd to "Philly West", there you'll get something more like what you'll find at Jim's or Pat's in Philly.

I came here one day randomly, looking for a place to eat in Westwood, and I was pretty blown away. Their Philly Cheesesteak with fries is a delicious meal for really cheap. And the place really tries to simulate a real Philly restaurant with its Eagles memorabilia and even a portrait of Will Smith!
