The place was hopping with both dine-in and take-out orders, but there was an employee hustling to clean the tables on this Friday about 1PM. I managed to find a clean table and filled my cup while waiting (they have a Pepsi fountain machine). To sample a couple of different sandwiches I got a small Chicken Chipotle Crunch and small Grilled Italian with a side of fries. I should have gone with mini as small is quite generous and filling (see pictures). I liked the fried onions in the Chicken Chipoltle Crunch and most of the favor came from the sauce. The tomatoes on both sandwiches were a bit too pale and tasted watery. The Grilled Italian was definitely the more flavorful of the two with great seasoning on the meats. The bread was nice and soft. The side of fries were of the coated variety and were fresh, hot, and crisp with the breading having a great seasoning. All the hard surfaces and glass windows made for quite the echo chamber, and even with half the tables occupied the noise level was quite considerable. There is a variety of seating with bar, booth, and table (different sizes).

I'm torn on this one…read more The sandwiches were pretty good but I just felt the whole thing was overpriced. The vibe is basically a subway but prices like firehouse or more. It wasn't very clean and barely any customers inside - mostly online orders Took about 20 mins for 3 sandwiches & large Philly cheesesteak fries The fries was such a tiny portion for the price, like half the box was filled & the meat was tough & dry The pastrami sandwich was really good though. The wagyu cheese steak was meh in my opinion, meat didn't really taste like wagyu But 3 sandwiches & fries $60ish seemed like a lot for the quality / quantity There's plenty of parking in the shared lot

2 large Bobbie's and a Large Capastrami to tide us over until we are in the area again!

The service was great as well. The food, however, was just okay for me. The pasta was overcooked and lacked seasoning. The pizza was also undercooked and didn't have marinara sauce, so it ended up tasting mostly like cheese, bread, and sausage and even the sausage was pretty bland. Free parking lot. Busy road but great location.

This would reduce my commute to Roy's out in Smyrna and put them within five minutes of my office every Thursday. So yesterday, I headed over to Street Food Thursday and got in line. The first thing I noticed about Roy's was that the customer queue was longer than that of all of the competing food trucks. I thought to myself, "This is a good sign - they're already popular." This turned out to be an illusion of sorts. After hopping in line, I came to realization that the reason for the long line wasn't that more customers were being served, but rather that the line was slow moving. I watched as others walked up to other surrounding trucks and walked away with their food in minutes flat. I thought to myself again, "Well the only reason the line is slow moving is because they cook to order." Fresh food is good food, right? Wrong. When I unwrapped the sandwich, I realized it was completely tepid. I took a bite. My teeth took temporary pause at completely unmelted cheese (see photo). This unmelted cheese gave way (with much resistance) to some of the most flavorless steak I've ever had. Completely unseasoned. While the bread and onions were quite good, the sandwich was an utter disappointment. Was this the result of a cheesesteak never being able to live up to my heady expectations? I unwrapped my second one (yes, I got two). It was just as bad as the first. Roy, if you're reading this, get some quality control on your truck. There's really no excuse for unseasoned meat and completely unmelted cheese.

Best I ever had in the A. Great meat. Lots of flavor. No joke. This is way better than Willys.read more

The service was unbelievably efficient -- every table was moving, food came out quickly, and the staff never looked overwhelmed despite the packed crowd. You could tell there was real leadership and organization behind everything. What made the experience even better was meeting the owner's mom and sister. They were both incredibly sweet, warm, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the family atmosphere trickles down through the entire restaurant because everyone treats guests with kindness and care, rather than making you feel rushed. GREAT JOB MOM! The food was amazing, the energy was great, and the hospitality honestly stood out the most. Definitely one of the best Mother's Day brunch experiences we've had.

They also have both seating and a large covered patio that can be closed or opened depending on the weather.

Sometimes I don't make it past the parking lot though before digging in lol.
