Charleys Philly Steaks - National City

The best philly steak I've ever savored so far. Quick service even, what else could you ask for. #LetsGuide #CharleysPhillySteaks #SanDiegoEats #NationalCityGuide

Love this place. Love my cheesesteaks. Absolutely hated the customer service this visit from an unhappy cashier. She rudely stated that they didn't open until 11am, mind you I was only standing in line at 1059. Then I asked her about redeeming my rewards points, said she couldn't do it. Couldn't or wouldn't be bothered? Good rule of thumb when working fast food, you must also provide good customer service. It's clear she did NOT want to be at work today. What a shame considering people need to be happy if they have a job during these times. Update: I wanted to update my review, because its very important to share when business owners acknowledge when you've provided negative feedback regarding a service or quality of food or a product. After I posted my review, the owner Yunis, reached out to me right away. She apologized for my experience and assured me that it was not ok, and would make every attempt to make things right. On Friday, I took her up on the offer. I called in to place an order, the manager Marcelino was very friendly and accommodated my order replacement with an upgrade. This made me so happy, and the sandwich and fries were incredible. Thanks so much to Yunis and Marcelino for redeeming my feelings towards their business. I'll be sure to visit again. As should you!

I ordered the Chick Philly special with fries and a Strawberry Lemonade, and everything was fantastic. The fries were a generous portion, thick, hot, and lightly salted, with a great potato flavor. The sub was incredibly tender, bursting with flavor, all nestled in a soft, chewy, lightly toasted roll. The Strawberry Lemonade was the perfect treat on a hot day, especially with real strawberry chunks—definitely grab a wide straw! Although the portions appear small, they are quite filling. I can't wait to return for another meal!

HOOKED. Oh my goodness, every time they offer samples, I can't resist this place! The food is incredibly delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Whenever I consider eating somewhere else, I just can't make it happen when Charley's is nearby. Just go for it! Indulge in those tasty samples and don’t forget to ask for a coupon!

Manage your expectations accordingly. I’ve never seen a cheesesteak with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and pickles. When I opened it all I could smell was pickles and there was a giant glob of mayo on the end of the bread. Kind of a disappointment because I was really craving an authentic Cheesesteak and this ain’t that. Not a dig against the food, but it isn’t the most accurate representation of a “classic” philly.
