THE CHEESESTEAK FACTORY

Kingsland, Ga. exit 2 off of I-95.
If your ever down in Southeast Georgia or Northeast Florida and need a great cheesesteak. You have to stop in The Cheesesteak Factory.I'm not from Philly, but Bob serves the BEST CHEESESTEAK. Like he always says it is the Amoroso roll that makes the steak. I worked for Bob, before my husband and I had to move.And now we go back about once a month just for the cheesesteak.Once you eat one you will want to keep coming back for more.They melt in your mouth really.

DARLENE'S PHILADELPHIA WATER ICE & DELI

5220-C Austell Rd, Austell, GA 30168 PH. (770)-739-7199
The best cheesesteak I have found down south is at Darlene's Philadelphia Water Ice & Deli in Austell GA. It is just just outside the city (Atlanta) and well worth the drive. They have excellent authentic philly cheesesteaks plus water ice. If you are from the philly area than you have to try them.

PHILLY PIE

Alpharetta, GA
As a fellow transplant to the south my search for the beloved sandwich has been endless. Although my work has finally paid off. A couple of boys from Philly have opened up the next best thing to the real thing. They search over 20 bakers to find "the right roll" and found a butcher whose meat melts in your mouth. This sandwich is a real contender, so if you are ever in Atlanta pay a visit to Philly Pie in Alpharetta and enjoy!

WOODY'S

Piedmont and Virginia- Virginia Highlands, Atlanta, GA
We're from Philly and were visiting friends in Atlanta recently. We asked around for a real Philly cheesesteak. People kept telling us to try this place in the Virginia Highland's (corner of Piedmont and Virginia) called Woody's. Apparently, Atlantan's say they have to have a Woody's once every two weeks (no matter how hot it is outside). We had one, and I must say, it was pretty good. The rolls weren't quite authentic and they seem to think you should have ketchup and mustard on a cheesesteak (must be a Pittsburgh thing 'cause the owner's from Pittsburgh), but the meat was very fresh and not too fatty, and the grilled onions were just right. It was also a very substantial cheesesteak -- my husband and I had to split it. Anyway, the place is really cool and certainly worth a visit. Its been around for 23 years and has, from what we could tell, a sort of loyal, cult following. We were glad we tried it. Next time you're in Atlanta, ask for directions to Woody's. Its about 10 minutes from Buckhead.

THE TAVERN

Phipps Plaza Mall, Buckhead
There is a very good Philly Cheesesteak in Atlanta at the Tavern Restaurant at Phipps Plaza Mall in Buckhead. Huge, thin sliced meat, grilled onions, American cheese. The roll, although not Philly style, doesn't hurt the experience. Although pricey, $8.95, it does include steak fries and the best looking waitresses and hostesses in town. Enjoy !!!

TIGER'S PHILLY GRILL EXPRESS

2100 Roswell Rd # 600a, Marietta, GA
PH: (678) 560-5022
I noticed this store in the Lakeside (or something like that, big shopping center on Roswell) Shopping Center with a sign out front hawking water ice and cheese steaks. The owner is a good guy from South Philly that makes the best steak I've had since I got down here (and I've had a lot, none of them good besides this one.) Good meat, rolls, and portions and prices. I'm a steak and cheese purist, but this guy does really creative things, like a Southern deep fried steak, which I've had and is very good, and a Hawiian steak, among others. Give him a shot if you're in this area.
