    This is a hidden gem located behind a few trees so it's easy to miss! The food was made to order and I appreciated the freshness. I tried the sandwich and wings special. The fries were crispy. The sand which could have had more cheese but it was over all good. I enjoyed the wings as well. If you're looking to get full. Try the combo! The mozzarella sticks were my favorite as well. It's a takeout place so the inside is typical. I would recommend this if you're looking for something quick and cheap.

    I love this place! They have the best phillys around! Their chicken nuggets are amazing as well. The fries are on point! the ambiance reminds me of a little tiny diner. Staff is always very friendly to us and my kids love their food too.

    Philly corner is a little hole in the wall near my work. Very friendly staff and service is very quick. Phillys are my one of my favorite food of all time. I heard this place had the best in Charlotte. The Philly was tremendously good. Not the best I have ever had but one of my favorites in a while. I got the original because I wanted to be authentic to the place. Meat was very well seasoned, cheese was melted on the bottom of the meat pile, the bread was soggy on top and hard on the bottom just how I love it. Adding mayo and melted cheese on top would have been a 10. Fantastic overall first time experience. Can't wait to try the other ones for lunch! Thank you

    I really love this "mom&pop" restaurant. I have always been greeted and the staff goes over and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. The food is really good I could and have ate here every week. They recently changed their hours which makes it difficult for me to make it their prior to closing but I try myself to make it on Saturdays. Please forgive my pictures they were an afterthought..

    My mom said she passed by this place plenty of times but haven't stopped in yet. So we finally did while I'm visiting home. It doesn't look like much when you pull up but the inside is basic with an ice cream counter inside. And the flavor of the hoagies make up for the appearance if that doesn't draw you in. Oh and we got some nice hot fries, so that mos def was a win!!! So go ahead and stop in for some locally made hoagies!

    This was my first time here. I pass it all the time. The service was great and both guys greeted me when I walked in. That's major points in my ! I didn't go to the bathroom but the restaurant was clean. The 1st time I have went to get a filling stake and did not have to ask for steak sauce. I'm not sure what they add to their seasoning or what they cooked with but it was literally perfect and extremely The only thing I'm upset about is that I didn't stop here sooner.

    The service was fine. The cheesesteak was mid. They failed to drain the grease prior to putting it on a cold bun so my sandwich was wet and soggy

    New to this area and have driven by several times. Very impressed with the food and especially the customer service. Ordered a "build your own" chicken cheesesteak. Veggies were fresh and piled on. Grilled onions perfectly caramelized. Chicken and cheese delicious. Atmosphere gives off a fun diner vibes. Staff was extremely nice and they seemed to know everyone who came in the door while I dined in. Service was also very quick (took about 5 minutes from placing the order to getting my food) Only thing I wish is that the bread for the sandwiches was toasted or heated, but that's just a preference.

    A1 customer service! A1 subs that taste just like up north! It's amazing to have a place that tastes like home. It's hard to find good food places in Charlotte let alone experience good service. I will definitely be back & also spread the love to others! I ordered the works the fries were dry & poorly seasoned though. I think they gave us different ones than other reviews I see.

    Very original inside

    Not a very good cheesesteak. Basically Ground beef. Fries are not bad. Can't see myself going back

    Not bad, but ingredients are not the best quality. Lenny's down the road is a much better cheesesteak.

    This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

    Update: Mgmnt has reached out to offer a full refund. I was very impressed at how quickly and…read moregraciously they not only messaged me to apologize, but also that they offered to refund based on the situation. While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

    We were in the area and decided to have Big Dave's for lunch…read more The space is small, but they have a few tables inside that you can sit and enjoy your meal if you choose. You walk up to the counter and place your order, we were the only ones there at the time so ordering was fairly quick. The young lady that took our order was polite and patient with us while we decided what we were going to order. I ordered the steak cheesesteak Dave's way with no onions, and added mayo, lettuce and tomatoe. They have a few items listed for dessert, but we were told that they were out of the banana pudding at the time. Our food was cooked to order and was piping hot when we received it. They placed my lettuce and tomatoes in a separate container which I'm grateful they did, because the lettuce was old and had a brownish tint to it. The cheesesteak was cheesy and really good. As I was eating I just noticed how dirty the place seemed. Although the staff were nice on their downtime every one was on their phone. I think they could have used that time to clean off the sticky tables, swept and mopped the floor etc. Everything just looked a bit dirty. Service was decent and fast, the food was freshly prepared and tasted great. Sanitation was a 96, not great but not bad either. If they could clean this place up and keep up with it, I could see myself coming back more often. Happy my bestie brought me by to give it a try!

    We went here on a whim, trying to find the best wings in Charlotte. There were so many great…read morereviews. We figured we would give it a try. I was surprised to see that it was a takeout only. But despite that they took our order in our food was ready in about 25 minutes. My husband is quite the wing connoisseur, and he raided his garlic, lemon pepper, honey hot wings 10/10. The kids got different variations of the flavored chicken strips and they also rated them the 10 out of 10 we will definitely be back again. I hope the next time we return that they have the same menu items at the North Charlotte location as they do with the other new location. I wanted to try the salmon, chopped cheese.

    Unfortunately, Buffalo Eatz was a major disappointment. I ordered the bacon burger, and it was dry,…read moreovercooked, and looked absolutely nothing like the picture online. Even the lettuce looked old and unappetizing. I also ordered the seasoned crinkle fries, but "seasoned" is being generous. I think they may have gotten one sprinkle of seasoning because they tasted like absolutely nothing. To make matters worse, my friend ordered the steak sandwich, and it looked like straight-up dog food. It was so unappetizing that they threw it directly in the trash rather than even attempting to eat it. Overall, the food was disappointing from start to finish. Nothing looked or tasted remotely worth returning for, and based on this experience, I definitely would not go back.

    I just want to give a huge thank you to the team at Capriotti's Sandwich Shop!…read more I placed a catering order very last minute, not realizing the store closed at 9:00 PM. Around 9:20 PM, I received a call from Olivia, the shift lead. She was incredibly calm, professional, and kind while explaining that she wasn't at the store and the employees working that night were fairly new and that they usually appreciate a little advance notice for catering orders. She asked whether I still wanted to move forward with the order. I told her I completely understood the situation and wouldn't be upset if they needed to cancel since it was so late and inconvenient. A little while later, Olivia called me back to let me know the catering had turned out great and that they could still deliver it if I wanted. When the order arrived, I was so impressed! Both catering boxes looked fantastic, and everything was prepared beautifully. I truly appreciate the employees who stayed late and put such care into making our order, and I especially want to thank Olivia for her outstanding customer service. Her kindness, communication, and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond!
