A Taste of Philly is my "Holy Grail" and "Brigadoon" of Philly Sandwhich shops. It seems to have…read morematerialized out of the ether (only becoming visible when I wasn't looking for it ). This place is most definitely on my top 5 list in the rankings of "Best Philly cheesesteak in Georgia." I have been driving around looking for this place since I came to the area for work about a month ago. It's hard to find because it seems to be hidden in plain sight in a nondescript store front in the old town / Main Street area of downtown Vidalia. The small store is a mom and pop operation and they ship their bread in from Philadelphia on a daily or weekly rotation. The particular sandwich I had was phenomenal (all the way cheese steak with hot peppers). Now that I have found it, I plan to make it my go to spot whenever I'm craving a Philly cheesesteak.

Best Philly in the area! Definitely a hidden gem! Wonderfully friendly staff, and always on point!read more

Time for an update since my last review! I'm happy to say that after 13 years, I'm still coming…read morehere! Best of the best. Served fresh, made to order, hand sliced meats and cheese right in front of you, veggies sourced locally and melt in your mouth cookies. When they say it's a freshness you can taste, they aren't lying. Notoriously they only accepted cash or check for years, but they have finally ventured out to accept venmo and cash app. There is an ATM inside though if you need it. But do not let this deter you! It's well worth it. Lots of seating inside. During lunch they can have a long line but it moves quick. You also have the option to call your order in ahead. Oh, and any sub can be made into a salad.

I stopped in to check it out. Located in an older strip mall at the very end. Bright and clean…read moreinside. Staff friendly and helpful. Menu is simple but you can add pretty much what you want to your sandwich. I got the Super Sub #9, which is a basic Italian style without the salami. Bread is thinner than many sub shops but that leans to an easy to eat and well balanced sandwich. The meat is the star of the show and the flavor was very good and fresh. They accept cash, card, cashapp and Venmo. Overall a nice spot and will likely stop again when coming through this area.

I was always a little wary of this place because it doesn't look like much from the outside. But…read morethe inside is clean, and my hot ham & cheese was nice and fresh. I liked that it came with a giant pickle spear... haha. I had a cold when I went there, so I couldn't taste very well. But what I could taste was excellent, and I'm already thinking about what I'll order next time from the extensive menu. Larry's is a great alternative if you're tired of Subway. Update: No pickles with a to-go order? That's lame. We also discovered that the drinks are waaaaay too expensive. Water it is. But we still love the sandwiches.

Since the around 2005 I used to eat at Larry's Giant Subs Vidalia at least three times a week for…read moreseveral years. Better than Subway - as they offered more variety to put into one's salad or sub. You pay a few dollars more than Subway, but it was basically decent, and they gave you a big slice of pickle on the side. And they gave you a points card that everytime you went in and ordered a salad or sub, when enough points were accumulated, you'd get a free salad or sub. So when enough points were accumulated, I happily handed my fully checkedm off card and ordered a Sally Sherman Egg Salad salad with the usual Egg and Mayonaise mix egg salad. But when the salad was brought to y table, I looked down at the salad and saw ONE HARD BOILED cut in half and each of the two little egg halfs were neatly placed in the upper left and upper right corner of the salad. No egg and mayonaise mix egg salad! This happened around 2012, 14 years ago. Such a rip off scam. I have only frequented the place ONCE in 14 years, to see if there were any possible improvements. Just saw the prices jacked up to the Moon! The place is just an over promoted rip off joint. Won't be going back ever again! Avoid Larry's Giant Subs and save yourself the grief.

Being a strong supporter of locally owned restaurants, my wife and I thought we would give it a try.

The meat was juicy and flavorful, the fries were good, and even the salad was delicious. But the highlight of the meal was the Red Velvet Cake!

I had the Cajun fries and my wife had onion rings. The shrimp was huge and delicious. The buffalo wings were great. The scallops had been cooked in old oil, so they were just OK. My Cajun fries were just plain steak fries, and the onion rings were from packaged frozen rings, a little dissapointing. We also had the fried pickles for an appetizer, and they were wonderful. The massive stained vertical poles interior with large diameter shipping ropes made for a fun nautical atmosphere. Our waittress was very attentive. We found the menu very pricy.
