This little wooden shack occupies a tiny triangular lot where Virginia Avenue slides into Monroe, just a few steps south of Piedmont Park. You'll find a few tables inside by the ordering window, but most patrons take their sandwiches out to the wraparound porch that overlooks Monroe. Most famous for their classic Philly Cheese Steaks, Woody's also boasts a full line of subs, sausages and dogs. Stop by for lunch, dinner, or just for ice cream, as Woody's is almost as popular for banana split as for sandwiches.
