    Pep/Mush -CHEESESTEAK-
    Alex P.

    Woody's is an Atlanta institution, having been here since 1975. Its popularity, even in the middle of the night, it's a clear testament to the status that Woody's achieved. Its corner shack is gradually becoming a relic from a different time as the area surrounding the Beltline gets built up and transformed. So, how about that cheesesteak? Let's start with the bread itself. Calling it bread would be a stretch by any measure as it's a stretchy creation that is more reminiscent of bubble gum than bread. Looking through older photos on Yelp, it seems they may have changed the bread used for the sandwiches when Woody's assumed new ownership. The cheesesteak filling inside is well proportioned to the volume of bread and not bad at all. As a whole, it works: the sandwich stays together and is not a bad meal at an iconic Atlanta joint. Folks in the kitchen do wear gloves, although the cleanliness overall does not look great with lots of stuff on the floor. But, coming here at 1am, it's really not the time to be complaining about such matters. So, if hunger strikes at night or a desire appears to experience a meal from Atlanta's history, Woody's is probably the way to go.

    I'm not sure what happened this trip. The only thing to compliment was the Super fast service. To do you in, the meat had an odd, somewhat hint of liver flavor. I happens to like liver, just not on my Philly. This was definitely NOT their normal seasoned beef. Since I made the considerable trip to midtown and was already home, when diving in, it seemed pointless to turn around. Sighs...$15 - down the tube! Thus, I cannot say I was pleased on this trip!

    -ITALIAN SUB-
    Bonnie T.

    This is your sign to go to Woody's and order the Italian sub! Quite possibly the best sub in Atlanta. Service is quick and the outdoor patio is perfect on a nice day!

    I got takeout from here after reading good reviews. I got a regular cheesesteak with american cheese, added cheese whiz, mushrooms & peppers. I was a little disappointed though. I thought the mushrooms & peppers could've been cooked more. The bread & meat was good though. Decent price for the portion. Around $13. The way it was double wrapped in paper & foil kept it warm until I got home to eat it. I'd probably not come back though.

    We stopped by for lunch because the Eagles won the Super Bowl and my wife in the past had been to Pat's and Gino's in Philly.I had only been to Philly connection in Ga by comparison. The mushroom cheesesteak I got was fresh off the grill and delicious! The service was quick and the young workers friendly.They serve beer and dessert too. Ambiance was casual with a nice deck. They blare an old Atlanta radio station 99x which was cool. We loved the cheesesteaks !

    This place had amazingly good cheesesteaks. Yum! Definitely recommend. Service was ehhhhh and ambiance was whatever (kind of a smaller hole in the wall setting with some seating), and not too welcoming, but the food makes it worth the stop.

    Italian sausage with voodoo chips
    Daniel M.

    Well when you walk up,gonna kinda look like a hole in the wall place. A very small place with indoor and out door eating area. Im not gonna lie. I set on the inside and it was muggy hot. But hey we are in the south,thats just how it is.I walked up to the counter and placed my order. I settled on a italian sausage with onions and peppers. A bag of voodo chips and a tea. The guy behind the counter informed it would be about 11-13 minutes for my sandwitch. No problem and took a seat. A very short while later i was called to the counter to pick up my food. I hadn't even bit into the sandwitch yet and i knew it was gonna be good. Why, cause i was eating the onions and bell pepper stuck to the inside wrapper and it was good. The italian sausage and peppers were spot on. Im not gonna lie. Im sitting here thinking about trying a cheese steak too. But then they do offer ice cream and shakes. Im definitely gonna come back...yes i ended up with a pb shake.

    Bogus online order fee.
    Richard D.

    Went to place a $21 order by phone and was told they could not take a phone order over $20. I told them I wanted to place the phone order so I didn't have to pay the $1 online order fee. I got hung up on (or disconnected - most likely the former). I went ahead and placed the order online because my wife was really looking forward to one of their cheese steaks this afternoon. Why are they forcing the customer to pay the $1 service charge for an online order when they refuse a phone order and redirect you to use their online ordering portal? This is completely bogus. They're the ones that are refusing to take the phone order. The online portal saves them time and is more efficient, yet the consumer is charged for the so-called "convenience". We will not be ordering from there again.

    Bomb cheesesteaks in a no frills community staple. Woody's has been around since 1975 so you know it's good if they've survived this long. You go in, order at the counter and within minutes your piping hot and deliciously tasty cheesesteak is ready to devour. For Woody steak cheesesteaks, two bags of chips and two fountain drinks with tip our order was around $30.

    -ITALIAN SAUSAGE- Sandwich
    Debbie S.

    This place is reasonable on your pockets and food is good. The cheese steak sandwiches are delicious and so are the Italian subs! Plenty of cheese, mushrooms and onions. I enjoyed my food .

    This was an odd food run. Probably the oddest I've had in ATL. Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches…read morethemselves were aight. Emphasis on aight. Some better than others. They're def on the smaller side but quite economical so grabbing multiple is easy. However the interaction with the staff and the handling of my order threw me completely off and unfortunately dampened the actual experience of the food. For someone who had ordered online and already paid, it took WAY too long for me to get food that was already prepared and sitting on the counter. I walked in and it was almost like no one wanted my money. One of the staff passed by me to go outside and ran into me but didn't address it at all. Not even a "whoops". The young man behind the bar was casually talking to another customer who was clearly on their way out. No problem, until it became a problem. I stood there for several minutes not knowing whether to interrupt their convo, and once I realized I wouldn't be addressed otherwise I decided to just butt in. I work in the service industry and truly could never imagine leaving a new customer hanging like that. Mind you, I wasn't even in a rush and was enjoying my rainy day... which should let you know how ridiculous this interaction was. To make matters worse, they literally just threw the sandwiches in a paper bag. I don't mind minimalist packaging. But this was just disrespectful lol. All the sandwiches were just mashed together and deformed and unsightly once unwrapped. Unfortunately I don't remember any of them because they just weren't memorable. The interaction in the restaurant didn't make it any better. I've seen comments that some of the young (mostly white) "hipster" staff can be oddly passive aggressive to certain clientele... usually I don't agree with those views but man that day really made me think they had a point. First and last time. No bueno.

But that could just be the bite I had because my friend really liked it. I love the okie dokie(?) sandwich because I love artichoke hearts. It's definitely on the smaller side so I would get two sandwiches next time. The watermelon salad was fun and refreshing. I wouldn't get it again, but I did enjoy the flavor. (Just not sure if I can justify 4$ for a small side salad.)

I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.

    Oh babyyy, I am a new fan. I see what all the hype is about!…read more I visited Necessary Purveyor on recommendation from my teammate, Sierra, as we planned lunch for two. As soon as she dropped their name, it was an immediate yes for me. I have heard, seen and read so many great things about the food and service, it was about time that I visited. Located at Ponce City Market, finding the restaurant is incredibly easy and there's lot and street parking all over. We visited on a weekday afternoon and I snagged a parking spot easily, and strolled right in. Necessary Purveyor is beautiful! It reminded me of a little French bistro. There are a number of tables all over and it's seat-yourself style. I grabbed a table as I waited for Sierra and took some time to look around. I love that they have fridges setup that have wine, beer, different sodas and juices, picnic needs and even some of their chicken salad and pastas to go. So many options! To order, guests must line up and order at the register and then your food is brought to your table. When I first entered, there were a number of parties sitting down but there was still space. As noon rolled around, it got thick in there! I could tell that the lunch rush was on and wow, did Necessary Purveyor get hit. But the team handled everyone so smoothly, the guests were patient and were rewarded by a swift ordering process. For lunch, Sierra went in knowing that she wanted their chicken salad as she said it was her favorite. I opted for the Mexican wrap and that bad boy was huge! All of the wraps that I saw coming out were massive. I'll definitely be back for a chicken caesar wrap! I loved that we could see all of the food being prepared behind the glass. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to go back!

And the pepperoni and soppressata didn't add any spice to the sandwich. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in soppressata! I thought the pepperoni mayo would add some kick as well and maybe it would have if there had been more than a half-tablespoon of it. And the bread was not fresh! I could have cried over this. The cost is outrageous for this kind of quality. On the upside, the service remains top tier and the space is still welcoming. But I won't be back.

So this is a Mediterranean grill inside of Ponce City Market. When you get to Ponce City Market you have plenty of parking options but all of them are going to be paid.

I was walking around just trying to see things that I haven't done before as far as restaurants and I ended up here and it was not a bad choice. The people at the front were pretty cool and were very friendly so that was a positive plus. The food that I had was good and I would consider trying something else from there. Koobidch sandwich (with fries) - so the sandwich itself came on a piece of bread that was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The beef inside the sandwich had a sauce over it that was pretty good and savory. Now I just want to say that it did have a sauce that came with it but I don't know if it was for my sandwich. But whatever sauce that was was pretty darn good. It fit on the fries and helped the sandwich along as well. I would get the sandwich again but there are a couple of other ones there that I would try first. The French fries are really good. They came with a sack of fries and they were very well seasoned and super crispy. Overall it does have my intention to try it again at some point in time, even though there are a lot of restaurants to make it through, but it was a good experience.
