    7" The Mushroom Philly Cheesesteak -  no cheese
    LaWanda N.

    I hadn't had PC for over 15-years, so I was so excited to have it again. However, it was a lackluster experience, I'm sorry to say! The service was absolutely wonderful, but the food was subpar, though completely fresh, it didn't have as much flavor as I recalled! The restaurant was clean & maintained and there was a good amount of parking.

    My experience was just ok. The food was average. I ordered the curly fries and they didn't take long, but I think the grease should have been changed. There is not much room for eating in.

    6 piece Wings

    I ordered a 6 piece wing hot with lemon pepper. The wings were huge and a little slimy on the inside. Do not go here for any wings they are named Philly connection for a reason.

    Remains of a train wreck sandwich.

    i went in for lunch today because the line was too long at the place I wanted to patronize. I should have been more patient. They state extra lean steak. Whatever the ground up, gristle laden grey meat was on the bun, it bore no resemblance to thinly sliced steak. The menu describes The Works as including mushrooms. I didn't see any and showed the three people at the register. The cashier looked at the sandwich for a while and pointed out one mushroom stem, but after a little discussion with the other two agreed to have the grill guy cook up some for me. The mushrooms are right out of a can, not fresh, with that canned, processed taste and mushy texture, instead of a grilled taste and appearance. The onions are supposed to be caramelized. No they are just grilled. It was supposed to include sweet peppers, not banana peppers. No surprise there - it had hot banana peppers. Totally ruined the sandwich. It takes a real effort to make that many errors on an order that had one sandwich and a fountain drink, but their grill guy was up (down, actually) to the challenge. If you are tempted to eat there, just resist it. Go just about anywhere else nearby and you will be doing yourself a favor.

    The food was ok couldn't really enjoy it cause I had to pee and they did not let me use the rest room. They are price $10.35 for a 10" that was actually small. Wouldn't really recommend this place

    10" 10" The Mushroom Philly Cheesesteak

    Sooo good granted I did ask for extra extra cheese I was in and out within like 5min I can't complain I don't know what others are about

    Be prepared for a LONG hold when calling orders in.

    This location makes a decent sandwich but the service is lackluster. The cleanliness of the restaurant needs attention as well. I prefer to phone my orders in and I have no issue with being put on hold for a reasonable amount of time while they serve customers in person. However, today I was placed on hold for a very unreasonable 26 minutes. When the associate finally came back to the phone she offered very little in the way of an apology. Very poor customer service. This isn't the first time either. I need to find a new place in the Vinings area for a cheesesteak sandwich.

    I was a bit skeptical about trying here as I figured it would be just like an American Deli's Cheese steaks or A Wings and Philly place. However, It was anything but that. I ordered 3 "Originals", 6 Hot Wings and Fries and a drink. It was all very good tasting. The lady and gentlemen that were working were very friendly and quick. The price was a little high, but I'm chalking that up to the rise in beef prices due to current situation. I most defiantly will comeback and get another cheesesteak here.

    Steak tastes extremely cheap. It tastes like it came out of a box(steak-ums). Feel like I could of made better steak subs at home.

No pudding available Cobbler: had barely any crust (iyktyk) and the filling could use improvement. I think we were also supposed to get ice cream ? If so we didn't get it. I got the cinnamon roll with apple butter. I thought it would be throughout but it was on top, and the roll itself was a little dry. Purchase 2 peanut butter cookies that were huge for my son. Not sure how they were but he didnt complain so I assume they were good.

You could also order a whole variety of espresso drinks and lattes, etc. It even had a really cute seating area directly outside, but if you could fit yourself inside, there was some bar seating as well. The place is not large however, the cases are definitely filled with a lot of goodies. On this particular day, it did take us a little while to make a decision as there are quite a few choices. However, the two staff members who were here that day were very patient with us. We did walk away with macaroons a lemon meringue tart as well as a Canele. You know what it's in the pictures. I do not have a picture of that because it was eaten before I got a chance to take a picture of it. But everything was so tasty absolute perfection. I don't know who's making this stuff but they are truly talented. I have to come back here again when I'm in Buckhead Village.

I guess I must've written it off due to the parking situation, and I honestly would've never visited, but a friend suggested coming here, so here I am. It's very, very limited parking. I'm not sure if we're *allowed* to park in the nearby parking lots, and I didn't have to, but if there's only like 6 spaces with barely enough space for cars to pass through entering and exiting... idk, it's not for me, esp when Doraville can get v traffick-y and the turn lanes are just waiting. Interior wise, it's cute. It tries to invoke a sense of Japanese aesthetic with the shoji panels, all the wood and light, the fake flowers, and I don't hate it. It's a fine place to sit and chat, though I feel bad for others who want to visit because again, the parking here sucks. I got their black sesame latte float with a matcha and sakura (seasonal flavor) swirl. The sakura was sweeter than anticipated and not floral, which was a bit disappointing since I didn't like it alone or mixing with the matcha flavor. The black sesame portion was fine. I like the nuttiness of black sesame in general, and I would've loved if they used more for a stronger flavor. The flavor was subtle, and with the ice and soft serve on top, got easily diluted.
