Philly Connection

Love this place. The staff is always friendly, the service is fast, even during lunch hour, and the food is wonderful. I have never had a bad sandwhich from this store, never.
To all those who say, Im from philly and this isnt authentic. Duh, this is Georgia last time I checked. Take yourself back to the north while we enjoy our southern food.

**ALERT** If you are expecting a «PHILLY CHEESESTAKE» just because its in the name you are a twit, its the name of the sandwich for christs sake! If you want a meatier sandwich pay for extra meat. problem solved. Im suprised at some of these reviews and the complaints when most of the complaints stem from being cheap or having Philadelphia expectations lol i really hate my phone was dead and I couldn’t take pictures of my food! When I say my food looked fantastic it looked fantastic!!! I came to this location 1-​6-​2016 and the ladies working around 130ish pm were absolutely AMAZING!!! the cashier was charming and engaging, she interacted very well with my children. The other ladies who were working were very accomodating and made sure all of our meals were how we requested. I used my Philly stamp card to get a couple dollars off our total which was like almost $ 45 for 2 adults and 2 children. My children split the 10 inch Philly sub combo, I had the Italian sandwich combo, and my guy had the mushroom Philly with 6 pc thai wings. It was all devine! I have been coming to this location for years and I’ve always received great service! Keep up the great work guys!!!

I am from NJ and know what a real Philly cheesesteak should be and taste like and this is not it! There was barely any meat on the sandwhich, it was all bread. Not the authentic philly I was looking for at all. Service was good though, food not so much! My search for an authentic Philly in Atlanta continues…

If I’m in the mood for a Philly, this is usually my go to spot.
I normally get the 7″ to go and by the time I get home the flavors have blended well together and I sit down and pig out.
My BF is from Philly and he was skeptical about this place when I took him in, but after the first bite he was pleasantly surprised and requested to go back a few times, when the cheesesteak mood strikes.

I’ve never been disappointed when I order from here. I get the pizza cheesesteak and I’m one of those jerks who always asks for «no pepperoni» or decide to ask for other things on it and they’ve never gotten my order wrong once. The staff has ALWAYS been super nice and nothing but smiles when I’ve come in. I love this Philly Connection!

Pathetic. We ordered sandwiches for our office lunch and were APPALLED. This was the skinniest, saddest cheesesteak I have ever seen in my life.
It tasted fine, which is why I’m giving it two stars.
If it had been a $ 4 sandwich, we would consider trying it again, but this is not an $ 8 sandwich.

Where’s the meat?
*looks on bun then turns it upside down and shakes it*
I ask again… where’s the meat?

Definitely not a philly cheesesteak, but it does hit the spot. The staff is always nice. Be sure to ask for a «frequent» card if you plan on stopping by often.

Not as good as Max’s in North Philly. (My philly peoples and family know what I’m talking about). If I had to compare to other Philly steak places in Atlanta. This is somewhere in the middle. Come here if you have the coupons so you can reduce the price on your meal. Don’t get me wrong, the food is aighhhhhhhhttttttt but I wouldn’t drive over 2 miles in seek of it.
Grade: C

I drive pass this place everyday going to work. I finally decided to stop by to get a free sub with my coupon. The place is very very small. The philly was very good looking forward to going back on my lunch break.

Oh dang I don’t know why it took me so long before going here. Mushroom cheesesteak was delicious, mild wings were quite tasty, and fries were ok. I saw they have sweet potato fries which I am quite a fan of so I will have to convince my husband into getting those instead next time. I like the seating arrangement of countertops. Nice and casual, friendly staff, we will be going back!

The food was not bad but it was not great either. I recommend take out only because the place is very small. The staff is nice though.

Food is good. Just make sure if you eat in you do so away from the front door. Its cold outside.

Cheese steak was ok, nothing to really rave about but the staff is great and very friendly. the place itself is tiny with bar type seating on the wall.
I would recommend as a good lunch place to grab a decent hot cheese steak to go.

Worst ever! Meat was the quality of subway, what I ordered was not what I got. Service was terrible.
Makes sense that the good reviews are because of a soda that they have… they have nothing else going for them

OK, so its not a genuine Philly sandwich — not surprising given its not in Philly!
That said it is a great lunch break location, good prices, the discount card is very generously. The service is great & the staff is very nice, friendly, and personable.
Far better than your average «fast» lunch place!

Pretend it is not called Philly Connection. Pretend you want a hot sub with melted cheese and other extras like mushrooms, onions etc. A distant cousin of a philly cheesesteak and I think you will be satisfied. Pretty much no seating because this place is TINY, but there is bar seating along the sides. They have also been playing the world cup which is a plus. The cashiers are very friendly and the service is fast. They also have a frequent diner card, half off every 5^th sub. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a yummy distant cousin of the philly cheesesteak. I know I will be back!

Who doesn’t know about this place, they’re everywhere. This one is close by me and sees me a few times a month, they’re also pretty busy when I go in, it’s a tiny place with bar type seating so I usually get it to go. Service is good, food is prepared quick, I get the pizza steak and add some stuff to it, it’s always really good, maybe not true Philly good but I’ve never been so I can’t say. It’s good enough for me though. Typical chips and tasty cakes are extras, the mozz sticks aren’t bad and I hear the fries are good too. They also have Fanta’s Birch Beer on tap (?), er in the fountain machine, the only place you’ll find it anywhere. It’s good stuff.

I have a vague memory of this place. Good service, the cashier was very nice. I got my sub relatively quickly.
Problem was, thats all I remember about this place. It’s hard to go to Philly and eat a cheesesteak then have to contend with all the mere mortals (other cheesesteak shops) that arent in Philly and have to eat the embarrassment that they identify as a cheesesteak.
I can no longer accept these really bad imitations…
There’s no connection here, this place sucks.

If you want a decent cheesesteak, visit one of the many Philly Connections around metro Atlanta. They come close to how a cheesesteak should taste.
They use flavorful lean steak or chicken, season it with pepper and throw it on top of a warm, chewy hoagie. They also use cheeses like provolone, American or cheddar. You can customize it with traditional toppings like onions and peppers or get creative with pepperoni slices, marinara, or banana peppers for example.
But you know the only real place to get a cheesesteak is in Philly. Therefore they shall not break the 3-​star status. But don’t get me wrong, they are still good sandwiches. The fries are almost always cooked fresh and are really good. Expect to pay about $ 7 – 8 for a combo with fries and a drink.
