Little Phillies

I absolutely love Little Phillies, their clipped wings are my personal favorite. The only reason I won’t give 5 stars is at times I’ve experienced major attitudes from the staff.

Nice gritty little place. Everyone was very friendly though the steak & onion Philly was sub par. Meat was full of gristle and grossly over seasoned. Meat seemed low quality. Onion rings & carrot cake weren’t bad.
The reviews are so generous I have to wonder if I had a bad batch of meat or the other reviews were biased.

The wings are WONDERFUL!!! But the wait time and atmosphere are so lacking. At least 20 minutes for some wings! I recommend calling your order and getting it to go! Its so dark and dingy in there and the place has poor lighting — its kind of depressing inside there. Great wings, poor atmosphere and no «customer service» at all — you pretty much get your own … Everything.
All that being said… I still recommend getting the hot wings TO GO.

The food is ok but the customer service is lacking. The wait time is 25 – 30 for six wings and a fry?!? That’s was ridiculous. I all about the way you treat the people and I do not fell as if they have the best customer service. I have been there on numerous occasions and it’s always slow.

Love the chicken hoagies here! Made to order… And so huge that it’s impossible to finish the entire thing. My husband loves the chicken tenders and the Philly cheesesteaks. Don’t love the actual restaurant… Pretty run down and dark inside… Food is great though.

One of my favorite places to eat. If you don’t mind waiting a long time, the food is well worth it. I have had issues in the past where the staff, though very nice, seemed a little annoyed that you were bothering them. This is not the norm though. Overall, great place to eat if you are visiting the area or just looking for some great food.

We were brought here by a friend who said the food was great and he was right! Delishious food, reasonable prices and mom and pop type atmosphere.
If the staff were a bit more proactive and the food came out quicker this place would have totally received 5 stars easily. Even with these things being said, thebfood was great enough for me to visit again and recommend it to others.

I had the Italian melt. It was huge and tasted delicious! I recommend this place, a little hole in the wall, to anyone driving down I-​20 it right behind McDonald’s

Great combo of wings and a philly, long wait but well worth it!
Atmosphere is a little dark but this is one of the places where the food is all that matters.

I must say the food is great no doubt… but today I was offended by what I saw .the cashier stood in front of me picked her nose twice and then took the inside of her shirt and wiped her nose I am looking like are you serious and the same girl picked up this steak hoagie with her hands and fixed the food and called the #.never once washed her hands I’m sure she did not notice me watching her but I make it a habit to watch the cooks and who ever is making my food if I can see them. But after that I seriously doubt I would be back .Even if the food is good I think your workers should not be nasty like that…

I was born, raised and lived in/​around Philadelphia, PA for 43 years until we moved to GA 3 years ago for my husband’s job. One thing I have learned, if it says «Philly» in front of anything — it is nothing like Phila. But we keep trying to find something like an original cheesesteak because we miss them. This was not it. Now, I admit cheesesteaks can be a bit greasy, but this one could have been wrung out and still too greasy! Before we could finish eating them the roll fell apart from being too wet and soggy. I don’t know how they are cooking the meat but you have to do it on a flat griddle with a front drip tray and run the grease down occasionally with a spatula. You can’t leave it sit in it and then just pick it up straight into the bun. You end up with a very wet, soggy, inedible sandwich. I suggest a learning trip to Jim’s on South Street in Philadelphia. Best Cheesesteaks EVER! And all cooking is done right there in front of the customer while you are waiting/​ordering/​paying/​etc… so you can see how it is done by the master!

Let me first list the good points about Little Phillies in Covington. The food tasted great and was priced reasonably, and the staff was friendly. Now the bad stuff, I waited for 35 minutes for my food after placing my order. In all fairness to the restaurant, the long wait was probably because I didn’t order their specialty — a Philly Cheesesteak Hoagie. I will not be eating there again.

Really good Philly and the best fried pickles I’ve ever had!

Although the décor has not been updated since 1974 and some of the booths look like garage sale items the food here is fantastic. My favorite item is the mushroom and cheese philly. The meat is tender and well seasoned on a fresh hoagie roll with generous amounts of cheese and mushrooms. Although I do not live in Covington my work brings me to town and i can never leave without visiting at least once. if you like hoagies it is a must stop.

Great Philly Cheese Steaks, but a little pricey

Don’t let the view on the inside deter you from checking this place out. The view is not that great; however, who needs a view when the food is this good? If you need to get in and get out, call first. This place can get busy during lunch. I normally get the chicken philly– it is always delicious. Their fries are really good as well. They aren’t skimpy and thin like fast food fries. Also, the portions are large, and I rarely finish an entire philly. I always have left overs– it could be because I eat all the fries first though.

Lunch hour rush (aka 12 noon) on a Wednesday, placed a to-​go order fairly quickly then waited for about 35 min to get my food. Maybe it was just lunch hour but I’d suggest a call-​in order for any take-​out.
Other than that… loved! the Philly cheese steak… great size great taste.

I love their cheese fries and of course philly cheese steaks.

Excellent hoagies, generous portions, relaxed atmosphere. What’s not to like?

I just want to start off that I would give Little Phillies 4.5 stars if I could. I attended Oxford College, a campus of Emory’s only a few minutes away from Little Phillies. Every Wednesday, myself and a couple of friends made a tradition of going to Little Phillies to enjoy buffalo wings, hoagies, and sweet tea like no other. Definitely a great spot if you need some filling and cheap food in a very friendly atmosphere. The food is excellent but not for the health conscious by any means.
The staff for the most part are very friendly and there is definitely a cozy and country feel to it. Don’t act too out of line because they won’t hesitate to call you out on it.
