Came here to meet up with family for lunch while in the area. The menu is pretty big so there's a lot to choose from. Ordered the #2 Philly cheesesteak combo (regular size). Please plan on waiting a little bit for your food. It's made fresh & not under a warmer. But it's very much worth the wait. The fries are amazing! And the Philly cheesesteak was very good too. Well seasoned and just the right about of meat to bread ratio. Be sure to use some of the Tony's Sauce they have. I don't know what's in it, but it's awesome. The location is clean. The staff friendly. The ambiance is welcoming. Would definitely be back if in the area. read more

Big Tony’s West Philly Cheesesteak - ##2 Philly Cheesesteak Reg - Cheesesteaks Near Me - DeSoto, Texas

Called to ask questions about catering and I got a recording stating press 1 to speak with someone or press 2 to receive a link to order. Pressed 1 and I got an automated recording that had a woman talking and then the phone hung up and this was during normal business hours. Big Tony's has fallen off since it was taken over by black people, I've been coming to Big Tony's since the 90's, I'm 41 years old and I remember when the older heavy set white guy was serving up the city of DeSoto GREAT quality cheesesteaks and awesome customer service. When he sold or was bought out Big Tony's has went downhill ever since, I've seen people order food from our so called kinfolk and get charged an extra 1.00 or so just for using a debit/credit card to pay for their order. That's just greedy and unprofessional in this day and age when everything is debit, credit, or tap and cash is being phased out. ‍ The worst part is I've seen them quote a customer a certain amount for their order, the said customer looks at their receipt and then say why it is more and the cashier says oh we charge a fee if you don't pay with cash. I'm through with Big Tony's I'd rather drive to Plano to the other Big Tony's. read more

The Broadstreet Philly is very good. I order with double meat, footlong. Made to order, the meat is good quality. Taste authentic to Philadelphia. I order this frequently. read more

Something is going on with Big Tony's Cheesesteak. I can't put my finger on it, but something has changed and it's not for the better. I got my usual mushroom sirloin cheesesteak and what I loved was missing. Quality, portion size, taste seemed to have diminished slightly over the years since I have been here. I still enjoyed my steak but it wasn't 4 star worthy. read more

Big Tony’s West Philly Cheesesteak - #8 Mushroom Cheesesteak Reg - Cheesesteaks Near Me - DeSoto, Texas

My first time here and they have an extensive menu with something for everyone. It was a little overwhelming at first. When I arrived, it was a little bit of a line but nothing crazy. I like that they have a dine in option. They had TV's and music playing on the other side which was cool. They make the food to order which is perfect that it's not fast food. Could taste the freshness. 8/10: I ordered the #2 with banana peppers and it was delicious. You have the option of making your own Philly but they have so many good options. My only "issue" but not an issue was the fries. I like the skin on fries but wish they were thicker - thin fries are not my thing. Will I get them again? Yes! You can get it without fries of course but why would you?? They Tony's sauce is great with the sandwich. Try this spot and get the fries. And the Tony's sauce. read more

The taste is excellent! The Cheesesteak is seasoned to perfection. I couldn't stop eating it. The only down fall is I should have ordered more meat because it was lacking. But I will say as someone who has fallen into the tourist traps of Geno's vs Pat's this cheesesteak is far better. The bread wasn't as fresh as I would have liked it. But the meat made up for it. The meat was that good. I would say try it for yourself. read more

I had a plan hamburger here. It seemed to have been prepared to order due to the wait of 20 minutes. The patty was warm to the touch but not pipping hot from the griidle. The onion straws were hot but not hot enough. Although this burger is edible I would not come here for the burger or onion straws. Island burger in Cedar Hill could take lessons on how to try and please me with a fresh burger! The burger bun did not appear to be very fresh. I think it is at least a 3 day old bun. I know I am picky but it is important to spend my money on quality food whether I purchase it for my home or out in the streets!!! I'll give this burger a solid 5 out of 7. I did not hate it but I did not fall in love with it either!! The location smelled of fried food upon entry but not in a bad way. Perhaps new ventilation or new filters needs to updated. Happy eating people! . read more

Big Tony’s West Philly Cheesesteak - Plain hamburger - Cheesesteaks Near Me - DeSoto, Texas

We ordered; Mushroom Philly Pepper Philly Bbq Philly 3pc kids chicken fingers & fries Extra fries Pretty solid cheesesteaks, let's begin there. Pros: great flavor, arrived warm and labeled. Cons: they were a little slim on the portions and the fries though well seasoned weren't crispy. I don't know if that's from the commute but I'm not too mad honestly. All in all I'll order from here again and check out more new flavors. read more

Food is good but it's quite greesy and I felt it was a bit pricy for the quantity of food and location. It's a bit hidden and is a mom and pop hole in the wall type place. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come all the way here again but I would stop by if I was in the area and craving it. read more

Best BEYOND BURGER I have ever eaten was served here! I ordered my plant-based burger with grilled white onions, grilled jalapeños and mustard. This Beyond plant-based burger was loaded with fresh tomatoes and lettuce greens. Undoubtedly I added my super fave...pickles, my burger was just delicious. Kaiser bun was toasted which was expected. I opted not to order a side. But sides are many! A few are Sweet potato fries, spicy fries, regular fries, spicy fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, onion straws, Famous Utz chips and fried jalapeños were offered at an additional cost. There were many many sides available but I am certain I didn't include all of the side items. Just get the burger or 10-12 different cheesesteaks, if that's your thing. Service was on 10! I know cheesesteaks and burgers are made to order which would equate to about a 17 minute wait. The cheesesteak menu is enormous. Maybe I will see you here on my next visit :D read more

Update: Stopped by again today and grabbed lunch! Food is still delicious! Ordered the #4 and the #6 read more

Had the audacity to charge $2.50 for spicy fries and they are not even spicy. The combo is extra when it should already be apart of the meal. The food was not worth the price. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I'm recommending Big Tony's for the catfish, seafood basket which was too good for words!!! That's almost my grandmother's recipe (one other place in Texas makes it the same) & those Chef's know how to knock it out!!! Wish I'd gotten everyone's names but the Order taker / Cashier and Chefs were so nice and thoughtful during their busy lunch. She raced around to clean tables & took orders, one of the chefs brought me extra tartar sauce that they make in-house. It's really got some secret recipe goodness! The shrimp were cooked to perfect & three times better than the fancier shrimp my cousins & I had at a place in Arlington a few day before. We're all visiting family from out of state & now we know where to go in the DeSoto area for a great basket of fish, shrimp, banana pudding -- oh and those spicy fries!!! Not super spicy (though we can take it!) but very crispy & better than any fries we had in the Dallas area. (A Paris, Texas restaurant came close!) Thank you, Big T's -- we will be back!! read more

Been there a few times. I always end up having to wait because of the line and call in orders. They have always asked if I wanted something complimentary for my wait but NAH.... It's always hot and always good... read more

Well- overall, it's not as good as I remember, and I doubt I return. I got the Friday special, extra meat cheesesteak. I added a small fry. Since I already had a drink, I opted not to get the combo. I called in, requested the special, and this is what I ordered. I didn't receive a price over the phone. Parking: it's in a shopping center type parking lot. Plenty of space. Staff: friendlier over the phone than in person. May have been two different people. The cashier, he acted funny, in my opinion. Almost like I was bothering hun. The #4 xtra meat CS large sirloin was $12.80. I asked, out of curiosity, "how much does this costs on special, since it's on special for the day?" He started touching away at the screen, but said nothing. He eventually handed me my card. Then I said "Did you hear me?" He said yes and told me a price. $14.55 is what I calculated, from the menu provided on the counter. That's a large #4, and small fry. He got my food, handed it to me, and didn't give me the receipt. I requested one. He had to reprint it. I Told him thank you and left. Again, he said nothing. Get someone more personable at your counter. The food was just ok. Not as seasoned as I remembered. I won't be back. I live in Arlington and can get a cheesesteak meal there, and for less. Even though money is not the true issue here. It's Black Owned Business week, and I support ours, but this was just an overall eye roll of an experience. Still curious if he just didn't give me the special, or if the combo was the special, and he just did not explain this over the phone.... Also: My grandma told me she doesn't eat there anymore because they always charged her a different price for their veggie cheesesteak. That once they told her the price was more for veggies, and she asked them "why does it cost more for veggies if veggies is what comes on the sándwich?" She told me right before I went, and then boom - a pricing issue. read more

So I just left this location and they have my attention and business when I need a tasty and filling bite for lunch or early dinner. I am a Pennsylvania native way of Florida and have been looking for some decent food choices since moving to Texas and it seems the DeSoto, Lancaster, Glen Heights and Red Oak areas are hurting in the service and taste departments. But this place here, is doing it right. The food came out fresh and ready to eat. The fries were decent and the flavor had me thinking about the combinations of flavors. Please stay this way. I could actually sit down and enjoy my food in a comfortable location. read more

This place has the greatest staff and customer service. So attentive and fun to be around. It felt like being with family. The temperature is just right and the setup is cool. Last but not least, those wings were delicious and fried hard just like I requested. The seasoning was perfect. Wednesday is the best day to go in my opinion. read more

Nice but the chicken Philly seem like tunafish instead of chopped up bell peppers, chicken, cheese, and onions.

I ordered a cheesesteak with no onions, mushrooms and jalapeños. No mushrooms No jalapeños And when I called to mention this, the woman that answered swore they got my order right because she wrapped it herself. Ok.... This is the second time in under a week that they've gotten my order wrong and the last time they get my business. read more

They used to be good, but as with all good things, they have to come to an end. They don't read what the customer asks for. Just overall going down hill. It hurts to see this business get ruined by young people who don't care about customer service nor quality products. read more

Just moved to the area and it looks like I've found my new catfish spot! Seasoned to perfection, fresh and hot! The fries were just okay but the catfish stole the show. 10 out of 10 I'll do it again and again! Thanks Big Rob! read more

I love me a Cheesesteak and Big Tony's did not disappoint. The portions were large and reasonably priced, the food itself was delicious and the food came out in A time frame in which one would expect from fresh cook to order food would. The dining area feels a bit outdated, cluttered and I feel it could be a bit cleaner possibly. With that said I I am a customer for life when it comes to a good cheesesteak. Why four stars and not five: I feel the facility could be a bit Cleaner and updated *Poor *Decent *Good *great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food. Best Service. Good Cleanliness. Decent / Good Consistency. TBA Value. Great I realize I'm a food snob, I eat out regularly some weeks 3 to 4 times which in my opinion makes me a bit of an expert on food, service, quality etc. I say it how I see it and I usually will give restaurants at least three chances before I give up on them and in some cases after some time has past I revisit the restaurants to see if anything is changed and my reviews reflect that change. read more

The Yelp hours on this place says 9 pm. I arrived at 8:10 after driving 15 mins. The signage on the window of the location says 8:30 pm. I had a small order and there were no other customers there at the time so I figured no biggie. Walk up to the door and it's locked. Employees staring at me from the inside. Some of which were sitting around in the customer area doing nothing. One of them slowly walks to the door, unlocks it , and says "We are closed." Closed early tonight? She looks at the sign then asks if I had an online order. I said No but I was hoping to order here for the first time. "Well you will have to come back on Monday." I don't care how good your food is, with this kind of service, you don't have to worry about me. I'll travel to a place further out for a good Philly cheesesteak with ease. read more

Ordered a Broadway steak and cheese with wiz and it's one of the best cheesesteaks I've had. Better than some I've had in Philly. All the packaging is quality and taped tight so nothing was soggy even after a drive home. read more

Authentic Style Philly cheesesteak. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a true cheesesteak. Well worth however long the drive is. I had the town hall steak (beef,chicken) & added bacon. Was delicious and the fries are homemade. read more

Was craving a cheesesteak on the way home and enjoyed getting to stop in at Big Tony's. The cheese steak was full of flavor, and has a ton of options. The atmosphere screams Philly, so if you are a cowboys fan, be prepared. I was greeted by the cashier and received the food in a quick turn around. Would recommend. read more

The only thing bad about big Tonys is the word Philly in the cheesesteaks! I had a chicken cheesesteak and believe me it was awesome!

Kicking myself for not coming here sooner. If you know what a Philly Cheesesteak should taste like then you should come here, if you want to find out how one should taste, still come here. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to your table if you dine in. The menu selection is almost overwhelming because of all the combinations available. A large variety of drinks are also available. Speed of service was good. Prices are a little high. Food was excellect! I got the #15 with spicy fries and it's fantastic!! My husband got #19 with cheese fries. Lots of meat in my sandwich. Good flavor and hot off the grill. I will get extra cheese next time even when ordering the #15. The Tony's sauce & jalapenos ranch sauce is also a good addition to any cheesesteak. Will definitely be coming back when I have a taste for a Philly cheesesteak. read more
