    7" Philly with The Works Cheesesteak
    Eleanor R.

    Walked in because I was hungry and haven't had a Philly cheesesteak since I was last in Philadelphia. Decided to give it a shot. The ambiance reminded me of the spots in Philly and they make your food fresh to order right in front of you. The waitress was so friendly and suggested what I order. Suggested the works with pepper jack cheese to add an extra kick and jalapeños (only suggest if you enjoy spicy foods). And I'm glad she did! This Philly was superb and hit the spot. Full of flavor and grilled to perfection! I felt like I had just ordered the real Philly as if I was back in Philadelphia. Thanks for the great experience, fast service and satisfaction for what I was craving! Highly recommend!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great spot to eat! I've dined here twice now (takeout both times due to social distancing requirements). The staff is very friendly and they do a great job of keeping surfaces wiped down and clean. I picked up a cheesesteak called "The Works" with steak (chicken is an alternate option). The subs come in 5", 7", or 10" sizes. My meal came as a combo (fries or chips and a 20 oz drink). The cheesesteak was delicious! The meal cost me $11.87 after a 20% military discount. Without the discount the price would've been roughly $13.50 with tax... still a decent price. Anyway, I plan to hit this spot up a few more times before leaving the Marietta area.

I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.

When I walked in... the young lady at the counter was on the phone having a personal conversation. I sat there until she thought it was a good time in her conversation to take my order. I ordered my same ol beef cheesesteak with provolone cheese, onions and ketchup. I was told 15mins, then she picked up her phone and continued her conversation. I decided to wait in the car because the music in there was extremely loud and I couldn't hear my phone call nor myself think. After 15mins... I went back inside and was told a few more mins, which turned into me waiting a total of 30mins for my sandwich. I was tempted to ask for my money back, but I was hungry and had my tastebuds set to eat this sandwich. Fast forward to me getting home. My cheesesteak was lukewarm. I didn't make any stops and it usually is still piping HAWT when I get back home. Not this time. I swear I should've known something was up just by my initial experience in the restaurant. Anyways.... My sandwich was smelling a lil spicy... I see a hot red pepper in the wrapping and thought they just wrapped it in my sandwich by mistake. Um NO! There were hot red peppers throughout my sandwich. It was as if they realized the peppers did not belong on the sandwich and tried to take them out, but a whole lot of them were left in there. Instead of making a whole different sandwich and having the young lady tell me there was a mistake with my order, they gave it to me as if it was what I ordered. I wouldn't have minded if I liked spicy food, but I don't. I actually despise it and have heartburn from the sandwich! The sandwich was extremely spicy, then it was like extra pepper was added onto it as well. Then the amount of meat that used to come in the sandwich is not the same either. It was only a small portion of meat on it. As much as I would love to go back to Riley's.... I probably won't.

Consequently I will not get UBER One and UBER EATS validated my decision to get a Dash Pass instead. I wasn't trying to game the system for a refund but after years of great steak sandwiches from Woody's for well over a decade, I thought about it simmering. Woody's UBER Eats cost you a long time customer who used to laud your authenticity and because of one poor performance won't be back.
