Ruth DowdSeptember 21, 2013This is a destination...for the absolute best Philly Cheesesteak in Atlanta It is a tiny place in the middle of Virginia Ave at Monroe. They chop the meat and make these from scratch! So delicious!- Jennifer Kjellgren ~ Nest Realty AtlantaFebruary 14, 2013The cheesesteaks are hearty and inexpensive at this Midtown institution; just don't park in the adjacent lot - you will get booted!
Deantre BrockAugust 28, 2014Yeah the cheesesteak is good but the I'm all about their milkshakes! Best milkshake around! BestEST. Also staff is always good for an interesting conversation about inanity.
Several locations but try the original rustic place here with the screened windows or patio seating. I get the original: beef/onions/cheese. It’s big so split or take home 1/2. Cashless as of 4/2023.
- frank kingFebruary 3, 2016Being from Philly I stuck with old school onions and provolone. It was the best I've had in Atlanta. The black and white shake was delicious also
Tatiana HanNovember 1, 2014Parking can get tricky when this place is busy, so as long as you're within the eatery's boundaries, make your own parking spot! Cheap, but serious eats. Pretty darn good Philly cheesesteaks.
Woody WommackAugust 17, 2014This location now accepts American Express as well. You also get a 20 percent discount if you can prove your name is Woody.
Brittanie KidwellJune 6, 2015The cheese steak was the best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with the Nutella shake. Fast and cheap! 10/10
Tony JuliusOctober 20, 2019It's Woody's CHEESE STEAKS! Whether original or chicken you can't go wrong- Kim BuppMay 5, 2013Cheesesteak is the best you'll get outside of Philly! Great little hole in the wall: fast, friendly, cheap. And try the Nutella milkshake!
Service can be a little slow and the sandwiches are on the expensive side, but they certainly are delicious.
LaToya MaysNovember 20, 2015Im from New Jersey so I know what a real cheesesteak should takes like and their meat is good but the bread I think is a little too hard. Other than that I'd come back for sure for another bite.😊
Great place, great food and great service. The cheesesteaks are almost as good as those in Philly and the service is better here!
Taste of AtlantaJune 28, 2012This Atlanta institution opened in 1975 adjacent to Midtown’s Piedmont Park. If you're in the area, stop by for a CheeseSteak and a milkshake!
Rosalyn FalknerJune 25, 2011They also take discover card. Let them know you are new upfront and show check in, remind cashier of discount when they give you total. Nice, friendly service with a smile!
Eric JonesJune 21, 2013First time here: I'm a Grady medic and Woody hooked me up with 50% off my sandwich on duty! The philly was excellent!

Sharese BrownSeptember 16, 2012I was kinda turned off when I realized they didn't have fries but once I tasted the cheesesteak all was forgiven. The atmosphere is really cool, and homey!!!!!
You must order the Philly Cheesesteak!!! Best I've ever had!!!
The polish use to be as good as the cheesesteak, now it's just bread and a small ass piece of meat. Ugh
Try the Washington! Onions, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Washington DC: Home of the original cheesesteak.
- Ruth DowdSeptember 21, 2013This is the place for the best Philly Cheesesteak in Atlanta! So delicious..

Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Ford Fry, chef of JCT Kitchen & Bar, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Woody's cheesesteak. Read more
Try the turkey cheesesteak with jalapeno peppers and chocolate malt shake!!!
ThelocaltripperJanuary 30, 2017So overrated. They took forever and it just was not that great. Was expecting so much more from all these great reviews. Maybe we went on a bad day?
Recently renovated this little joint packs a powerful punch to any innocent bystander who underestimates it's flow.
Reminds me of Philly, but with the southern hospitality !
The absolutely best cheese steaks in the city!!! I'm wishing I got another one!
