Best Philly Cheesesteak: Big Mike’s Philly Steaks & Subs

The staff at Big Mike’s are used to homesick Philadelphians who come in to eat cheesesteaks and reminisce about their childhood homes by the broad Schuykill River. We get it – imagine being a Californian living in Philadelphia who has finally found the perfect burrito joint, the one that gets the salsa just right and can somehow find ripe avocadoes in midwinter on the East Coast. You’d be there just about every day. The taste of home is never forgotten, and Big Mike’s provides it for homesick Pennsylvanians – and for all of us California natives who weren’t born there but appreciate good steak and cheese on a fresh Italian loaf.
