We started with the sweet corn appetizer, which was unlike anything I've had before, truly a great way to kick off the meal. Highly recommend! For my main, I ordered the traditional Philly cheesesteak with tater tots. Wow. It was large, cheesy, and absolutely overflowing with veggies, everything you want in a proper cheesesteak. I'd give it an 8.9/10 easily. The tater tots were also a hit -- crispy, fresh, and the perfect side. I will definitely be back for this combo alone. My fiancé went with the 8-piece lemon garlic wings, and unfortunately, that was the one letdown of the visit. He found them to be pretty tasteless and ended up adding salt to compensate, a 2/10 for him on the wings. However, he did love the fries, which looked and tasted incredibly fresh. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. Our server knew regulars by name, the kitchen staff were joking with each other, and the whole place had a warm, family-feel vibe that you just can't manufacture. When we mentioned our disappointment with the wings, our server was gracious about it and suggested we come back to try a different style, great customer service! Would we return? Absolutely, even if just for the cheesesteaks. Spanky's is a local treasure and we can't wait to come back! read more

I have made several visits, I wanted to be sure of myself before I reviewed. I loved every visit, every bite, every interaction. The cheeses is everything anyone could ask for from a traditional steak. All the to the very last bite of the amazingly fresh sandwich was delightful.. their wings were cooked expertly and were well sized. I tried a mix of medium hot and garlic Parmesan. Excellent combo, everyone should try. Last but not least, the Rueben Philly...excellent! There were no words to explain exactly how much I enjoyed it. This dish alone is work five stars! I will be back...soon... The 80's rock coming from the speakers fits the establishment. I am sure from the decor that the music is as original as the establishment. read more

I wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing from the start. The music was very loud, making conversation difficult, and several tables were dirty when we arrived. We had to ask for ours to be wiped down despite visible food on it. Service was a major issue. Shortly after sitting down--before we had time to review the menu--the server asked for our order and appeared frustrated when we asked for a moment. I also had to request no ice multiple times. Drink refills didn't happen until we asked for the bill. We ordered cheesesteaks. They arrived hot and juicy, and the cheese was mixed well, but overall they lacked flavor. The bread was very soft, and the onions and hot peppers I requested were not noticeable. Based on personal comparison, Geno's, Pat's, and Dalessandro's offer better cheesesteaks. The fries were acceptable. They were soft rather than crispy, which I personally don't mind. Overall, this was not a place I would return to or recommend for a cheesesteak. Note: There is a 3% credit card transaction fee. read more

Excellent cheesesteak! Soft bread, stuffed with meat and cheese and toppings. Good onion rings. Offer various sizes and the mini option was perfect and filling. Very cool old school vibe inside with lots of booth seating. Service was patient and kind. Not a cheap experience but a quality one. I would absolutely return to SPANKY'S! Offer sides of cheese sauce and other great homemade sauces. Received a free brownie treat when ordering on their app which was easy. The add on's add up quickly tho. Happy I was in the area and sought out something new to taste. I highly recommend. read more

A bit of a hole in the wall, but Spanky's is a hidden gem for sure. My husband and I have now been twice in the last week which definitely isn't healthy but is delicious. There's plenty of booth and table seating with menus already placed at available tables. Both times we have been there was only one server with another person working the register. Service has been friendly and prompt which is appreciated when you're coming in hungry. For about $40 my husband and I were able to get two half Philly cheesesteaks which come with fries plus two fountain drinks. The best part was the cheesesteaks weren't overly greasy and the fries did not taste like they came from the freezer which seems to be the case with most places. read more

Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory - Half Philly Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Margate, Florida

Good but pricey. Tasty, with friendly service, it was worth a try. Always nice to support a local business.

Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory in Margate is one of those places that locals whisper about with a grin, and visitors stumble into thinking they've just found America's greasy, glorious soul in a bun. This isn't just a sandwich--it's a rite of passage. The cheesesteaks here are legendary. Bread with the right chew, meat piled high enough to make cardiologists weep, cheese melting like a Sinatra ballad. Every bite is messy in the best possible way--you're going to need napkins, a hose, or possibly a confession afterward. Spanky's has history too. This joint has been holding down Margate longer than some casinos have lasted in Atlantic City. Family-owned vibes, walls that feel like they've soaked up decades of laughter, beer, and late-night hunger cures. It's the kind of place where you half expect to see Springsteen at a corner table, nodding his approval over a cheesesteak "with." Why four stars instead of five? Because no matter how good it is, you're probably going to regret ordering that second one--but you'll do it anyway. And that's the beauty of Spanky's: everything here is goodness, but it doesn't pretend to be health food. This is indulgence, Jersey-style. Skip the strip malls, skip the boardwalk hype--Spanky's is where legends are born, one cheesesteak at a time. read more

Really good food, highly recommend! Service was great and the decor is also cool. 10/10 read more

Absolutely the place for the best cheese steak sub and wings! I love the Swiss bliss cheese steak and I add the green peppers/onions/mushrooms. Never a disappointment. Dawn is absolutely the sweetest and best server. Food is prepared fresh and comes out hot. Fries are fresh cut and delicious. Mozzarella sticks are Italian herb and my favorite fried app. Wings are the right size and flavorful. Swiss cheese burger is ok/good. Asked for it medium and came out no pink. Go for the subs and wings imo. The location and indoors is dated but with food and service so good........who cares. read more

Spanky's Cheesesteak & Wing Factory at 309 State Road 7 in Margate was a treat after some thrifting on Saturday. To my surprise, the place was empty during prime lunch time. I ordered the ranch chicken Philly and buffalo chicken Philly half sandwiches to go. They came with a side of handcut French fries or you could sub for chips. The bread was super soft. We really enjoyed both sandwiches! Definitely will be back sometime to try their wings. read more

This was absolutely amazing! So fresh and flavorful. I was going to order a half sub (traditional Philly), the waitress said they were about 4-5 inches and I might want a whole... so I did, should have stuck with the half... so filling!

Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory - Chicken Philly Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Margate, Florida

For cheesesteak, I find this place nothing to write home about. It costs $17.40 for a "full" cheesesteak and fries which is far overpriced for what you get. The "full" size I ordered was smallish in size, and you can tell how it fits in the regular size square styrofoam container. It really didn't have a lot of flavor, and the bun was plain and chewy. The fries were soft and dark in color; the taste of them was so so. The 8 mild wings for $16.95 were also overpriced, but were crispy and the sauce was tasty. read more

Spanky's Cheesesteak in Margate is a no-frills, old-school spot, but the food is great. Their cheesesteak is one of my favorites in South Florida--simple, tasty, and always hits the spot. The fries and corn nuggets are solid, and the prices are super reasonable. Good service! read more

I placed a takeout order on a Thursday and the restaurant wasn't busy. The interior resembles a mom & pop shop, wooden paneling and plastic booths. It's homily inside and somewhat welcoming, I wish the food reflected that as well. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with fries for $18. The chicken was dry but with the onions, cheese, and hot peppers, it was decent. The fries were supposed to be well-done but were soggy and without salt or any other seasoning. Definitely not worth the price tag. read more

Good cheesesteaks are hard to find in South Florida, and I've tried my fair share of bad, mediocre, and decent ones. But Spanky's is probably my favorite. It's a simple cheesesteak, but they season the meat just right and are generous with both the meat and cheese. I was born and raised outside of Philly and lived in the city for 10 years, so as a true Philadelphian, I can confidently say that Spanky's serves up a delicious cheesesteak. I'd recommend it to anyone craving a good one. read more

The food here is the best. I'm not from Philadelphia but I would put Spakny"s cheesesteak up against one of them any day and twice on Sunday. The service is always fast and friendly. Great if you want to relax with a beer and watch the game. The only thing I would change is the decor. The inside of the building really needs a makeover. That doesn't take away from the quality of the food though. Top Notch.. well worth trying. read more

There's a reason why Spanky's has stood the test of time. Just finished a delicious cheesesteak topped with all sorts of cheese wit onions on a soft hoagie roll. It was a perfect, delicious and LARGE Philly! Came with sweet potato tots which were delightful and they gave me their honey mustard sauce that's more dijon-y than sweet and it complemented the tots really well. The place is a dive, but that's what gives it its charm, and the food is really good, especially the cheesesteaks. I'll be back soon. read more

Definitely skip this one. 22$ for cheesesteak, Fries and soda and the cheesesteak was all bread and no steak. Guess you gotta pay that $2 up charge to actually get a cheese steak. Felt robbed. On top of that you have to get table service to sit down. Just let people order a cheesesteak at the door and sit down. Instead you'll get the pressure of $5 tip on top of an empty sandwich. Awful spot, never again. read more

Food: 2 , service:4. Spanky's no spanking :/. I'm happy to see that this place has been around for many and many of years which means they are doing something right. But it was so hard for me to like. Some pros are that the chicken Philly came packed with protein and they are not cheap on the cheese for the loaded tots. Also, our server was very nice and accommodating. The cons are the the Philly cheese steak was very salty. Server also mentioned if we wanted peppers, onions, mushrooms but failed to mention and upcharge. But go figure. That's actually smart tho because some restaurants say it but it's included with the price LOL. The loaded tots were inconsistent. Some were crisp and some were mushy. And the bread for the phillys just wasn't it. Way too soft for my liking. **Check in offer for 10% off your bill ** read more

Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory - Literally no meat. $35 ordered 2 both same way. Lol - Sandwiches Near Me - Margate, Florida

There are few real staples of American life known the world over - a thick juicy burger down in Tx, hot dogs and corn dogs at the county fair in the Midwest, NY Pizza off the Hudson, Chicago deep dish pizza off Lou Manalti's, and Philly Cheesesteaks sandwiches. And considering the fact that we're not in Philly, getting our hands on the deliciousness that represents such a remarkable culinary achievement would seem to be impossible - in enters Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory. Let me set the plot for you. It was a rainy Saturday morning where we were running errands and running to Home Depot when all of a sudden the sky parted and the clouds sent rays of light pointing in one direction. It wasn't that we hadn't seen Spanky's before. We had with it's distinctive bright yellow colors and it's inviting promise of deliciousness. It was that for some reason something else always got in the way and we ended at lesser venues. But that day everything in the universe conspired to get us the best cheesesteaks, fries, and chili outside of PA. The service was great, fast, and and overall awesome and we were not the only guests gushing. One of the customers there while we were ordering literally stood up right on front of us, leaving her husband at the table and to the back wanting to congratulate the chef. Not to make this long. Do your mouth a favor. Stop by the one of a kind, vintage yellow Spanky's Cheesesteak Factory in Margate. Don't go anywhere else. Make it a priority. And trust me. Your tastebuds are going to thank you! read more
