Philly Connection

  3.8 – 424 reviews   • Cheesesteak restaurant

Social Profile:

Although the Cheesesteak Sandwich originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Philly Connection® concept was developed and introduced to Atlanta in 1984 with the first restaurant opening – that first restaurant continues to operate today! The company then opened additional locations and, in 1988, franchise operations commenced. Philly Connection® developed a recipe for the steak meat used to make Philly Connection’s® Proprietary Cheesesteak sandwich. The recipe included a certain cut of whole-muscle beef, a secret marinade, and a special processing technique that produces a high-quality, great-tasting, juicy, tender sliced steak product that is still used today by the Philly Connection® network of Franchise restaurants.

Regional counter-serve chain serving up Philly-style cheesesteaks, plus subs, wings & salads.

First time trying this spot. Everything was amazing EXCEPT the bread of the cheesesteak. I’m not a fan of their chosen vendor but the meat was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere of the environment was friendly and positive. The cook took my order while the cashier patiently waited on two other customers. The meat was so good that I had to transfer it to regular bread, so that it wouldn’t go to waste. The curly fries were 10/10. My only recommendation is to choose a different sub bread.

Ok I just ate here for the first time. Just told the chef to basically “feed me” I got the original (see photo). I can’t say enough about HOT FRESH FAST AND DELICIOUS. Service was great with a smile all the way through. I hope they never change the French fries yum The place was small but spotless clean. I’ll be a regular here. You should at least give them a try. You won’t regret it. A+

Second time eating there this evening. First time I had the mushroom Philly, it was sensational. The onion rings I got with it were fantastic. I tried the wings this evening and was blown away, definitely the best for the price point. Cannot recommend this place enough I look forward to going back

First visit! The service was amazing, both the cashier and chef were attentive, quick, and very kind. They even offered my child a complimentary snack. The food was ready quickly. Unfortunately, the cheesesteak sub didn’t meet expectations, and I wasn’t able to finish it.

I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant today. They make delicious Philly cheese steaks with such creamy delicious cheese. They put many great toppings in them for the same price. I ordered The Works and it was really good. I loved that they had jalapeños too. They game very generous servings of fresh curly fries. The tea tasted great. The customer service was excellent. Everyone in the restaurant was really nice. They have barstool seating inside and a couple regular tables outside.

Worst cheesesteak I’ve ever had.

The bread wasn’t toasted at all and had the consistency of undercooked dough. The meat was so terrible I’d question if it was actually beef. It tasted like dog food on a roll that was soaked in water.

I really enjoyed the cheesesteak. Very tasty! I wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price but it still ranks as one of the top 10 cheesesteak places in Atlanta. The front counter lady was really sweet but maybe the owner was having a bad day. I was really excited to try out this place.

I visited this place on Friday, January 30, 2026. I was not HAPPY. However, I called the owner who made my sandwich, and he replaced it on my next visit.

I returned on Monday, February 2, 2026. I met the GM. Now, with all due respect to the “OWNER” this is how you make a cheesesteak.

It was SEASONED, PLENTY OF PEPPERS, ONIONS, CHEESE, AND MUSHROOMS.

Please start making your cheesesteaks like your GM. Make them with love. It is effortless to do. People who are paying nearly $12 to $20 for a sandwich, it should be made with (love) patience and customer satisfaction like the GM made.

Thank you,

I enjoyed my wings and curly fries, the philly was ok BUT Shelisa and John are what really made my experience amazing. From the time moment I walked in they were both welcoming and helpful as it was my first time. The meal was little pricey for me,($25 for smallest sub, 6 pc wings, drink and fries) but I would definitely return. Trying the hickory wings on the next visit
