    I'm between 2 and 3 on this one. Giving it 3 stars because my coworkers love this place for the wings and the subs. The only thing I tried here was a philly steak salad and it was quite mediocre. I was kind of stuck ordering something so I got the least offensive item. They don't have many veggie options so the only veggies in my salad were lettuce, tomato, and sweet peppers. They do have a frequent cheesteaker card if this is your thing. Order 4 subs, get 5th for 1/2 price. Just remember to ask for the card and present it each time. The bathrooms are kind of gross so carry wet naps with you. Parking can be tough too as they share it with a gas station next door.

    As a Philadelphian I KNEW it would not be anything like a hometown jawn but I chose to entertain the experience. For a northerner or southerner; you can make a better one at home I requested (and paid for) one with jalapeños..not a one on there. My mans seemed to be working alone: maybe another who was on break but one could see he was overwhelmed by 5 customers #goodluck

    I've been to Riley's quite a few times, even when I didn't do a review. However, this time I needed…read moreto update my experience.... 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.

    I thought the cheesesteaks here were actually pretty good. I did however feel the prices could have…read morebeen a little better.

Even though we usually sit down and enjoy a meal together, we just decided to get something quick. The location is super easy to get to and I've been in the vicinity too many times at Costco Business center and didn't even know this place even existed. Anyways, upon walking in.... The walls, furniture, and everything you can think of has someone's name or nickname written on it. They even began to write on the TV and the owners had to put a sign up saying not to write on the tv. I definitely laughed at that because who in their right mind would write on a tv, buuuuut they did smh. There are two different windows, one to order and one to pick up. I went to the order window and decided upon a steak and cheese with just mayo and lettuce and also an Italian. From the reviews I couldn't decide between the two so I got both lol. And I also got a slice of chocolate cake. The young man who took my order was very nice and we even laughed about how much I ordered.... For myself lol. While waiting for our food, we took a walk over to Burlington. We stayed over there for maybe 10-15mins and then walked back. Our orders were done probably about 5mins after we got back, if that. I sped all the way home because I could just smellllll my steak and cheese through the wrappings lol. Steak and cheese was really good. I would have preferred more meat though and kinda was expecting more because of how big the sandwich was. Like a lot more. But it was seasoned wellll. The Italian on the other hand was extremely salty. I was surprised because everyone talked about how good it was, but the saltiness was too much for me. I ate half of a half and had to discard the rest because I could stand the saltiness. I did eat the whole steak and cheese though. That chocolate cake was bomb though. As someone who bakes cakes all the time, it was nice and moist. It was in the fridge there but it didn't taste refrigerated at alllll. I wish I had gotten two of them instead of the Italian sub, but hey you live and you learn.

    Big Dave's has some great cheesesteaks! The menu is short and sweet. Seeing that, it's good to know…read morethat Dave's approach is to be his at one thing - cheesesteaks. I originally visited the Doraville location a few yrs ago (next to the Super H Mart) before they closed. Not being impressed then, I'd checked Dave's off my list. But a good friend changed my mind - SO glad they did! I tried the Truffle cheesesteak - ordering as it came, with no modifications. Between the truffle mayo and the cheese, I couldn't ask for more. And while I typically like peppers and shrooms on mine, this one needed nothing else. The BIG notable is that the meat is not dry at all, which a lot of places get wrong. It's a 45 minute drive for me. So I can't say that I can visit as much as I would like. But 3 visits later, it's safe to say that I'm a fan! The setting has small tables and chairs, maybe to accommodate 15 to 20 people. It is not the cleanest establishment so that could use a bit more attention. But the staff are super friendly and get you when you walk in.

And add in way more veggies for the price. I got a 9 inch. I do see some mushrooms, onions, but it also could of had tomato and a really nice toasted bun, The order I had did offer peppers but I declined. Fries was decent, fresh and hot, I'll be back again for the eggrolls.

The owner told me someone once said Atlanta isn't a sandwich city, which is baffling. We are! It's just that no one wants to open a good sandwich spot. Featuring outdoor seating only, this is a charming spot right in the middle of a neighborhood intersection. We ordered at the window and ate out on their patio. The owner is a true gentleman--I'm so glad we got to meet him! He paired my sandwich with a nice pineapple Jarritos and suggested we try his homemade pasta salad. Y'all, this sandwich was on another level. We got the Jack's Fish Market, and it was freshly made and uniquely good. I can't say I have ever had a sub quite like it. It's going right up there with the Korean cheesesteak from Fred's and Hattie B's hot chicken sandwich as one of my favorite ATL sandwiches. I split it alongside the pasta salad, and that was more than enough food. Bottom line: if you live in ATL and haven't been here yet, shame on you. It's a very casual spot with unique flair, a great owner, and mind-bending food. Can't wait to go back!

From the moment I called in, his customer service was top tier. Professional, warm, and intentional. He made sure my order was right, sent a quick payment link so things moved efficiently, and had everything ready by the time I arrived. That's how you run a business. When I pulled up, he greeted me with a smile, brought my food out, and confidently told me I was going to enjoy it and he was absolutely right. I originally planned to grab my food and go, but his energy made me slow down, sit, pray, and actually enjoy the moment. I asked for a lime Jarritos, and he recommended pineapple instead to pair with the jerk seasoned wild caught salmon sandwich. That recommendation was on point and really elevated the whole experience. That sandwich hits. Every bite pops with flavor across your entire palate. The salmon was perfectly cooked, juicy but not soggy. The kale had the right crunch. The onions tied everything together. And that homemade garlic butter on the salmon took it to another level. It's a creative spin on a traditional cheesesteak. I'm sure the beef options are great too, but if you want seafood, this is the move. I've had a Philly cheesesteak in Philly before, and honestly, I don't need to go back. When I'm in Atlanta, I'm coming here. Sammy, thank you for the hospitality and the intentionality behind what you do. You didn't just serve food, you created an experience. Thank you for praying with me. I will definitely be back.
