Cheesesteaks near Madison, AL

“I read a small paragraph about Capriotti's and on a whim convinced hubs to drive 40 minutes today to try this new restaurant out. It is located in Madison in the Clift Farm Community. I had no idea today was their first day to open to the public. My husband and I were the 3rd customers. The interior is small with limited seating so plan on to go orders and no large group gatherings. I am ok with that. These days people go out to eat sick passing COVID, flu and RSV so I don't mind. We were warmly greeted by Jennifer, the owner. She was very pleasant and helpful. We drove a good distance and decided to order a few subs. Their rolls are of the Italian bread variety used in Philly for cheesesteaks. The bread is soft and delicious! They do not have wheat or gluten free bread. We ended up ordering a small grilled Italian, small capastrami, medium turkey, medium cheesesteak, and large flat fries to go. The classic cheesesteak was excellent. The meat is thicker, seasoned well and there's double the meat compared to other places in Madison County. The grilled Italian was good. I would order it again but I wouldn't heat the lettuce, tomato and onions. They turned to mush in my opinion. The capastrami is pastrami with mayonnaise based slaw, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese. I would order that again without the slaw and Russian dressing and when I returned home I would add German or Dijon mustard for a delicious hot pastrami with the only thing missing is the rye bread. I didn't see an option for rye bread. The turkey is to be reviewed as I haven't tried it yet. I will update this review soon. The flat fries are a tasty first for me. I haven't had fries cut this way before and I enjoyed them. They are thinly cut, flat and tasted great fried in fresh oil. If you are in the Madison area and enjoy sub sandwiches, please stop by Capriotti's. Jennifer will help you with your order and the food really is good. You will be happy you took home subs to go and your family will be too.“

“Nothing bad happened... Food was fine but over-priced... It was Easter and I think the help wanted to be with family which I completely understand... The place is clean but for me the name and the decor doesn't seem to mesh very well. It doesn't feel retro to me at all. All in all, it's worth a visit... I'll probably try again at some point.“

“The food is off the chain, and consistent! I am definitely hard to please, and they please me every time I go there for food! It’s the best, for not a lot of money! Thank you for everything the employees there do! You’re the best! Including Ms. Felicia Robinson! She’s the BEST manager in the world! And, in my world too!“

“I seen everyone's reviews and I was worried but when I got it it was perfect plenty of meat and cheese bread wasn't hard it was actually pretty soft very filling price was ok considering the amount of meat I can't really rate the service or atmosphere because it was “
