    Almost raw bread.
    Ryan T.

    Strong Warning: This place is nasty! Someone from the food safety organization should come visit. The bread was barely cooked and tasted of raw flower. The bathroom looked like someone had diarrhea in the corner. Please do not order food from this place if you like food.

    packed with tastiness

    How dare you. How dare you give the Philly Connection anything but 5 stars. You're critiquing the Subway of Philly sandwiches. It should be treated as such. This is a chain that makes tasty sandwiches. What else are you comparing it to? Rising roll? Jersey Mike's? American Deli? Smokes them all. So. Five Stars. My husband and I realized recently that we both looooved Philly Connection in high school. Was it as good as we remembered? Only an adventure to one of the last remaining Philly Connections near the city of Atlanta could answer this burning question. And answered it was. Yes. Philly Connection (if you were a patron in the past do go visit and I promise you won't be disappointed) is just as good as you remember. Why is it good? Melty probably processed permanently in oozy form cheese (check). Tons of meat on your sandwich with onions and mushrooms grilled to maximum hot and toasty perfection (check). This bread that shouldn't exist as it does and is almost like pretzel bread? It's somewhat thump-tastic (you get it - like how you can pat the top of a hard roll and get some thud/resistance), has a bit of a maybe egg wash on it for bageliscious sheen effect, and the inside is fluffy and wonderful not unlike a yeast dinner roll. It's important you put some hot sauce on it. You're welcome. We live downtown near Woody's cheesesteaks, and I'm sorry Woody. You are delicious, lovely, tasty, one of a kind, so special, and we will be patrons for years to come. But we both agree: Philly Connection for it's bread, cheesiness, fluffiness, size and crushable-ness (you need 2) would be the winner of the cheesesteak competition. It has a grungey food stall soul that shines through and delivers. For the record - Yes we have eaten Philly cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, and they were very tasty. Different and maybe a little greasier - neither of these places could be called identical to those - but highly tasty in their own interpreted right.

    Hair literally wedge inside bread and is able to hold piece up
    Joyce N.

    Food was was below average and I found i hair in my sub . Gyro had no sauce on it or even on the side. Horrible experience

    Literally, 2 pieces of deli-thin turkey and a hunk of deli meat that doesn't even resemble Turkey. #Regurgitated #EatAtYourOwnRisk

    Turkey Sub?? Purchased (9/18@ 8:45PM) Literally, 2 deli-thin slices of Turkey and a chunk size of something I didn't recognize. After the 1st bite from the 2-piece meat side, I regurgitated. My gut was upset the entire next day!! I should have read the reviews first!! #EatAtYourOwnRisk

    Filthy. Literally a cigarette on the ground in front of the register.

I love not only hot wings but also all kinds of wings and its own flavors. Ever since I moved here to a new town, I always wanted to check out a new wing spot. And this place did not disappoint me. Wings here were really good. I mean, really good. We ordered 10 pc hot (pretty spicy but LOVED IT), 10 pc honey mustard (always my go-to wing flavor), 10 pc lemon pepper (never goes wrong), a philly, and their house fried rice (GUYS THIS IS A MUST). Wings were juicy and flavorful. And I personally love the flaming/fire burnt smell and taste of good fried rice and this place owns it. I enjoyed every bite of it. Friendly staff and the cleanliest wing shop I've ever been to. 5/5! Ladies at front are the sweetest, btw.

Most of the women up front have very rude and condescending. They also do not allow you to place children's order over the phone so no matter what you order once you get there you have to wait an additional 10 to 15 minutes for the kids meal. This is a sign that they have grown too big and I've started taking our business for granted I'll never return!!!!!

There was live music outside and the patio areas were packed. Where we sat inside though had a few tables open and we were sat right away at 7pm on a Friday night. No complaints there. This is a great place for families and it's super loud inside and out so bring the kids and let them go nuts. I think the let down for me was the food. They are known for their burgers but for some reason I ordered the "Nashville Hot" chicken sandwich. I LOVE this sandwich and if I see it on the menu I tend to order it. I put the name in quotes because this was NOTHING like a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. This was a fried chicken sandwich with a squeeze of hot sauce and honey. Absolutely horrible. The breading fell off immediately and it was just gross, greasy and slippery. No flavor, no heat. The second disappointment were the onion rings. Greasy, Soggy, mushy, and again, the breading immediately fell off. They were like eating fried spaghetti. The final letdown was the service. Our server was nice when she greeted us, but we saw her maybe once during our meal. Never filled our drinks and she checked on us once during our meal. The food took 45 minutes to come to our table. I am not sure if she was new. Tonight in general was just a bust. On the bright side, my wife said that her meal was good. Lesson learned. Stick to the burgers and fries.

This location is pretty limited on parking and it can be tight. I found a spot and walked in, and was hit with a massive scent of Fabuloso. That should've been my first clue on what was to come. It looked clean and I was able to grab a booth. Service was super fast. Typical bar food here but the wings were always great back in the day. I browsed menu and went with the wings (mango habanero). My coworker grabbed a turkey burger for himself. Food came out pretty quickly. My coworker went to the restroom and I started going into my wings. Perfectly crispy and the sauce was good. The house made blue cheese was not really good. My coworker came back, and as he was sitting down, a baby roach crawled out from under his burger. I had eaten half my wings at that point, and just opted to finish them. But the smell of fabuloso started to make sense. Our waitress took the burger away and my coworker just opted to leave. I will say everything else was great but, yeah, I won't be coming back. Damn. Hate that because I love the nostalgia of 3 Dollar Cafe. And I get roaches make their way in from time to time but in the food? No thank you.
