What began as a menu option at a hot dog stand is now sold in restaurants across the country. We're talking about the Philly cheesesteak, and it dates back to 1930.

If you would like a cheesesteak sandwich for dinner, the best restaurants near our Gilbert, AZ apartments include:

STEAK ESCAPE

When Ken Smith and Mark Turner decided to turn their love of cheesesteaks into a business, Steak Escape was born. It began from humble beginnings in a space just over 200 square feet. The restaurant has since grown, and its mission is to brighten everyone's day. The vegetables are chopped and sliced every morning, and the aroma of freshly baked Italian bread always fills the air. Try the Original Philly Whiz. It's made like those on Philadelphia's South Street and features grilled USDA steak, grilled onions, and Cheese Whiz. The sandwich can be enjoyed with Cajun bleu fries and house-made lemonade.

PHILLY STEAK & WINGS

Called one of the "ten best cheesesteak shops in Phoenix," Philly Steak & Wings is not to be missed. The cooks use quality ingredients, including Allen Brothers steak, which is hand-carved and slow aged for flavor and tenderness. Guests enjoy the bright atmosphere featuring picture windows and red and yellow accents. The sandwiches are topped with your choice of mushrooms, grilled onions, sweet bell peppers, and provolone or Cheese Whiz.

ZELLA'S PIZZA

While Zella's is renowned for its piping hot pizza, it also serves cheesesteak sandwiches. Everything is made from scratch, including the bread. Guests always receive attentive service, and the restaurant draws a crowd at lunchtime. There are several cheesesteak offerings, including Mushroom Philly. It's topped with mayo, grilled onions, and white American cheese.
