Delicious sandwich but so messy. 1/4 the meat/cheese/extras fell out of the sandwich immediately and we had to eat with our hands. Also - no whiz available...on a Saturday night?? Nonetheless yummy. Would go back. read more

Now, Tony & Nick's Steaks. We have stopped in after Phillies games this season. While it looks identical to the old cheesesteak game, there seems to be a decline in quality compared to Tony Luke's. The rolls are smaller in circumference making them appear overstuffed from jump. They're still more than I can devour in one sitting, so that doesn't matter too much. But, the last few had less moisture in the grilled meat, and thus were less juicy and less enjoyable to mange. I've heard that T&N is on the market. Given the devolution of quality (and quantity) the need to get out from under the nut and take away some profit is understandable. Three Beefy Stars for what has become an average steak sandwich at best. CORRECTION: Ownership responded to my review and it is only fair I acknowledge the factual points made. He says there is more meat now than before under previous management. I stand corrected. It had been a couple of years since my last steak there, and my impression was affected by my memory of that sandwich and those from a long time ago. I do not want to cause harm and wish best of luck in future endeavors. read more

3.5 stars. Sorry, guys, this is another WAY overdue review from my 2015 visit before the name change from TONY LUKE'S. Took a short day trip to Philadelphia on Sunday, June 14, and had to try for the first time an authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. When in Rome, right? My cousin and family took me here, the original location of TONY LUKE'S, a mainstay for cheesesteaks in South Philly. The street-side sandwich shoppe had a a classic, no-frills neighbourhood stand vibe, featuring walk-up windows for counter-service. The dining room was a weather-protected, four-wall area with outdoor picnic tables. Tony Luke's covered a broad array of Old Philly Style Sandwiches from Roast Beef ($7.25 - $10.25) to Roast Pork ($7.00 - $9.00), Chicken Cutlet ($7.25 - $10.25), Rib-eye Steak ($7.75 - $9.75), Chicken Steak ($7.25 - $9.25), Hoagies ($7.25 - $9.00) to Specialty Sandwiches ($6.00 - $8.00). They also offered Side Orders, Fresh Sautéed Vegetables, Breakfast and Beverages. Accustomed to being served Philly cheesesteak sandwiches with provolone, grilled onion and green peppers in California (which I love), I was surprised to learn that the traditional cheesesteak from Philadelphia is composed of only thinly shaved ribeye steak, griddled quickly, chopped, and topped with lots of cheese (Whiz or otherwise) served on a soft, crusty hoagie roll. We ordered a Cheese Steak ($8.75) as well as a Cheese Steak Hoagie ($9.75), both of which were tightly wrapped long rolls in Tony Luke's wax paper. They were OK, neither knocked my socks off, unfortunately. My search for a mind blowing cheesesteak will continue when I return to Philly. read more

IGNORE ANY REVIEW THAT IS BEFORE 2022, those are from the original shop, not this one Don't be fooled (like I was) This is not a variation on Tony Lukes... The name confused me to begin with and I should have gone with my gut and saved it from this assault of fatty glob. I used to come here and bring visitors to Philadelphia for a taste of a great Philly cheesesteak on the way to the airport. Won't make that mistake again. Meat was overcooked, not juicy at all. Lots of fat and grizzle, almost inedible. If I wasn't in Philly (and you know how it can get) I would have asked for my money back instead of tossing half in the trash. Save you tastebuds and go anywhere (seriously anywhere in philly) and you can get a much better sandwich. Nicks roast pork makes a better cheesesteak and its only up the street near 10th (8 blocks) read more

We came here visiting from Chicago. The people were nice and the place appeared really clean. We didn't wait in line which was great and the wait for our sandwiches was also short. The reason for the three stars was the cheese steak hoagie I ordered was not very great. It was just ok for me. I would have liked more seasoning and more onions mixed in with the cheese. The meat could have been chopped up more too. I've had other cheese steaks in Philly and they just had a different consistency that this didn't bring. read more

I have been a devotee of Tony Luke's for 30 years. It has always been my favorite cheesesteak in Philly. Today marked the death of Tony Luke's. It has been renamed Tony and Nick's. I was here a few months ago and it was basically the same. Tonight I paid $17 for a cheesesteak that I waited over 20 minutes for. It was different. It was chopped steak. It was not an original Tony Luke's steak. It was TERRIBLE! Completely flavorless and inedible. Not worth $7 much less $17. I am so disappointed. Truly sad for the death of what was my favorite place in all of Philly. RIP Tony Luke's. I shall not return. read more

It's been 12 years since I last visited--back when it was still Tony Luke's--and I'm happy to say the cheesesteak still hits the spot! Everything was exactly how I remembered it: perfectly seasoned meat, melted cheese, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and that signature bread that ties it all together. I brought one back home to Cali and instantly regretted not taking more! The peppers tasted just like before, and I noticed they now serve pickles on the side--which I don't remember getting before. The staff was awesome. They even hooked up my nephew with a Beef Buster, and that thing was loaded. Overal, this place is just as I remember it--pure satisfaction from the first bite. Definitely worth the stop every time I'm in Philly. read more

I've been coming to this spot for years, back when it was Tony Luke's, and it's always been my go-to for cheesesteaks and that Italian roast pork that just knocks you out with flavor. These days it goes by Tony & Nick's Steaks, but the heart of it hasn't changed--the food is still the best I've found in Philly for these classics. Today, the roast pork was as tender as ever, stacked high on a roll that somehow holds everything together without falling apart. The broccoli rabe still brings that bold, bitter punch that makes the whole thing sing. Money! A touch more salt than usual, sure, but still spectacular. The cheesesteak? Exactly what you want it to be--juicy, cheesy, and gone too fast. For me, it's still the place I measure all others against. read more

Didn't get a cheesesteak; they do the large pieces instead of dicing it up, which isn't my favorite style, but did get a roast pork instead, since I neglected to realize John's down the street was closed on Monday. The one day I pass through Philly. Of course. The flavors definitely deliver, the portions are more than generous, but the placement of the spinach and the pork meant I would get a biteful of one or the other, instead of a nice mixture. A bit of attention to detail could go a long way. But overall, I was pleased that Tony Nick's delivered a roast pork just as good as its neighbor. read more

I was in town for a work event. We had a few hours before we needed to be at the airport and went looking for an authentic, not corporate, cheesesteak place. This place is really unique. You order at a window and wait for your food. The seating is inside, but open air. I usually don't like to eat outside but this was a really fun area with good air flow so it wasn't hot. I got a cheesesteak with wiz and onions. There was not a ton of seasoning but it was very good. Thinly sliced ribeye steak, just as I expected. Everything was good. I would definitley come back. read more

So I visited Philly today. Decided to make a short list of cheesesteak spots to try. This was one of them. Ordered their cheesesteak hoagie. People online were raving about their cheesesteak and some were not feeling it. So mixed reviews. Got back to my hotel room with this football sized sandwich. It looks overwhelming in size. They didn't event cut it in half. I feel like due to the bread this could easily feed 3 people. Anyway, I just was not feeling it. The flavors were not great. Some cheese on it. I prefer the cheese to be mixed in. Yeah I would not come back for this. read more

Was heading to a concert, and this place seemed to be the closest and best rated. I ordered something super simple...a plain steak with sharp provolone. It took like 20 minutes to get my sandwich, which is crazy. Then, when I started eating it, it was almost cold. There were bits of bone and cartilage in it too. A waste of $17 basically. Never ever again. I was pretty pissed off and late to my concert with a bad cheese steak. read more

Freshly prepared. Friendly service. Steak meat was sliced thick but was tender with no chewy bits. The meat was not chopped. Meat was slightly seasoned. Numerous choices for cheese. A condiments bar in hybrid covered outside eating area. Cheese fries were excellent. Decent overall. read more

This is definitely a nice restaurant right off the highway and yes it's vary busy but the wait here is not too bad. The customer service was good and the steak and chicken sandwiches are delicious. Sometimes the good cheesesteak spots in Philly are the ones that don't mention much but definitely a nice spot to check out. read more

The former Tony Luke's, now renamed Tony & Nick's. Other than that, it's the same cheesesteak joint it's always been. Every time for us, it's the same, one cheesesteak to split and enjoy before or after on the way to or from PHL Airport. Hours are decent and it's not too far out of our way. Order at the window and your food is ready pretty quickly, depending on how busy they are. Tons of condiments available to enhance your sandwich. Here you may order your cheesesteak anyway you want it, with lettuce and tomato or anything that some other purist restaurants will not allow, like JRP (where no lettuce and tomato are permitted!). Once you pick up your food, you may eat it inside the little tented in area or outside if the weather is nice. I would love to give this place five stars, but it's not on the same level of some of my other favorites in and around the city. read more

It's been a while since I was in philly, and this time it was a drive-by on my way to Newark Delaware. This was my first time stopping at Tony and Nick's (as John's is closed on Mondays), and I am glad we did. The place is located right underneath the I-95, and offers a no thrills dining experience, but has parking, and the main reason we are here today, has really good cheese steak. We opted for provolone (they have 3 options and we went for the sharp) cheesesteak on a fresh seaseme seeded rolls. meat was delicious, and flavorful, the cheese was perfectly melted, we had it with sauteed onions and sliced Jalapenos. It is a sizeable serving, and really nothing really is needed to be added. Place was clean, and as soon as we got up, our table was cleaned so the next round of satisfied customers could eat. Would def stop here again read more

I ordered catering trays from here for an "Old School Philly" themed 60th Birthday! The food was so good, and a good value as the portions were great. The woman who answered the phone this morning was so patient and kind for same day order. The evening staff at pick up were so detail oriented and accommodating. The trays, one assorted hoagie and one assorted cheesesteak with all the trimmings, were beautifully packaged and individually wrapped. I got so many compliments on the food at the party. I will definitely be ordering again from here! I called many famous sandwich shops in Philly to inquire about cheesesteak and hoagie trays; glad I went with Tony and Nick's! read more

I moved into South Philly and was blessed to meet Charles my neighbor who has a 71-year-old stage 4 cancer patient asked me if I want it a pizza from a gas station or 7-Eleven for breakfast. Knowing my life experience and knowing that you never know when your last meal is going to be I tried to reframe his question in that regard as to having had 156 million views in my Google map contributions if I knew that this was going to be the last breakfast that I would ever have shared with a good friend where would I eat any answer to me was Tony Luke's sausage egg and cheese Italiano sandwich with no hesitation. I have traveled extensively I have written many books had many meals love cooking and I can tell emphatically that the people at Tony Luke's pride themselves on translating the inspiration given to them by their mothers and grandmothers aunts uncles that came over to this country and brought culinary excellence along with them. Give Tony Luke's a chance to impress you and you will not regret it. It's one of the beauties of being in the city of Philadelphia similar to New Orleans we are a city that prides ourselves on good food if you already are in such a blessed city that has such potential you realize what can really be not just a meal but a culinary experience that you will know unequivocally that God is real. My friends come on down to Tony Luke's enjoy all that South Philadelphia has to offer Truth be told any restaurant in South Philly has incredible lineage and skill. Whichever you pick you won't go wrong but if this could possibly be your last meal do you really want it to be a pizza from 7-Eleven? Enjoy! read more

Cheesesteak is awesome freshly made to order. I had mine with wiz. Simply a great meal!

I hit Tony & Nick's on a recent trip to Philadelphia. I had asked the shuttle driver from my car rental company to recommend a place for a cheesesteak because "when in Philly"! The restaurant is pretty simple. There are picnic style tables to eat at, and you place your order at a window. I had the cheesesteak with grilled onions and cooper sharp cheese at the recommendation of the driver. I had to take my sandwich to go and eat at the airport. But it was hot and delicious!! The bread was fantastic!Would totally visit again if I'm in the area. read more

The Philly cheesesteak here was made with ribeye and was my second favorite cheesesteak in Philly. This was also the second best cheesesteak I've ever had my whole life so just so you know this was a really good sandwich! The cheese was melted hot and the bread was soft, the meat melted in your mouth and they didn't skimp on the toppings. I had scrapple here for the first time! I had it in the breakfast sandwich and it was really good! I was surprised because I was reading on his scrapple was made and let's just say it taste alot better than it sounds hahaha. My first roast pork experience in Philly wasn't good so I decided to try it here again, I now realize that I just don't like roast pork sandwiches and it's not really about the place I have it at. So no point deductions on this item. Staff was very friendly and helped me navigate the menu so I can order the best thing possible. I enjoyed the service and all American ambiance of the place. read more

Came here specifically for a renowned cheesesteak hoagie. No line and placed the order. Took a few minutes to get. The beef was not chopped up and was not that cheesy. This place is not on anyone's list of best cheesesteak places in Philly. There really is no ambience at this location. read more

I guess I'm a little more negative than most about this place. Back when it was Tony Luke's, it was one of my favorite Cheesesteak places in Philly. I would stop here on every trip to the area and couldn't wait to get there. I've been gone a while and wasn't aware of the family blowup that caused Tony Luke's to close. On this trip I ordered a cheesesteak hoagie and a roasted pork sandwich with cheese. Both were ok to good but definitely not great. The meat in the Cheesesteak wasn't as chopped up as it should be and the flavor of the roast pork sandwich was a bit bland. I guess I might give them another shot in the future but I was pretty disappointed on this trip. read more

A week or so ago I went to Tony and nicks for the first time. I rated it 4/5. Today I went back because I was craving cheesesteak. Today was a 5/5 experience. Last week my only complaint was the onions weren't as cooked as I typically like but today they were on the money. I stand by my highlights from the last review of the high quality meat and the roll being the hero. This time I went seeded roll and it was as good as last week's plain roll. The bread is definitely great here any way you get it. Tony and Nicks will be my go to spot going forward. Keep up the great work Nicky and crew. read more

Traveling through on a Monday and had my heart set in Angelo's, but they were closed. We come here and was not disappointed. Got one with provolone and another with cooper and added some smoked brisket. Very delicious but only if you love smoked flavor, I recommend it. Very cool lady that took our order. Im from California and they made me feel right at home. read more

Good solid cheesesteak. Not my favorite but not the worst either. The Italian sausage and peppers were good as well.

Place ain't what it used to be. Getting a sandwich in the afternoon NO one is there , 6 people in the back talking and vaping and 20 minutes ( plus) to make one roast pork. Definitely not the pride in their craft that I used to know here A d the pork Italian was OK nothing special. There are better places. This place is riding on it's reputation read more

So. Freaking. Good. It was a 30 min drive from my crib- and worth every minute. Not greasy, fresh garnish, and crusty bread- I really like my steak! The meat isn't chopped up, and the overall composition is just really perfect. This is a definite repeat. The ambiance is clean- warm/ heated, and a nice mix of modern and classic. The menus are on digital displays, making it super easy to order. Customer service was efficient and polite. Try this spot- you will be as happy as I am! read more

Friendly staff and a Great cheesesteak! Quick service and a nice parking lot. Get the fried onions!

We were on our way home from Philly and decided to stop for takeout. We ordered fries, a chocolate shake, Italian sub, three cheesesteaks & a roasted pork with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone sandwich. The fries were gone in five minutes on our drive home, hot with a little seasoning on them - yum! The cheesesteaks were delicious. The meat was so tender and we loved the seeded rolls. The pork sandwich was outstanding according to my husband with no stalks in the broccoli rabe whatsoever and very tender. My daughter loved the chocolate shake, it was thick and creamy. The Italian sub was saved for lunch the next day but my son and his wife ate it when they stopped over! The staff were friendly and the wait for the food was not long. Can't wait for another stop here ! read more

Went back to this Philly landmark to grab sandwiches for the road. Yes, I bought three roast pork Italians and two pizza steaks. Cost me about $70+ lol. My plan was to share the love with family. Well...it was almost a family of one because after I dove into that roast pork, I was not readily sharing. My son got a cheesesteak and a roast pork, leaving three sandwiches for me! (Insert devilish laugh here!). There is nothing better than a Tony's steak or roast pork Italian that has been warmed up in a convection oven or air fryer. The freshness of the ingredients, combined with the homespun flavors of Luke's make for a culinary sandwich dream. The sauce on the steak, blending with the cheese and the bread was a "mouth-wreckingly" good. Yeah...so good I made up a word. Lol. The pork sandwiches were flavor bombs. (though, I think they screwed up my order. I asked for the broccoli rabe, and instead they gave me spinach. I did not notice it until I got to my destination for and a half hours away..). I'm not a big, pork dude, but these sandwiches are the best in the country. Tony Lukes delivered---As usual..... This is "Must eat food" read more

I hate to write a review like this, especially to a place that I've gone to several times with my fiancé. But I'd be remiss if I don't. A few weeks back, my fiancé, son and I went over to grab a quick bite while we're in Philly. My son had a standard Philly cheesesteak my fiancé and I had both the pork sandwich. I got food poisoning within 5 to 6 hours and my fiancé then got sick two days later we ate nothing else except for that meal. My fiancé didn't feel great the next day so she was fasting and it finally caught up to her. I had sent an email immediately to the establishment, letting them know. . All I wanted was an acknowledgment no money back no not even a sorry just an acknowledgment of my email and they couldn't even do that. There are a lot of other places you can get a really good Philly steak sandwich in Philadelphia. I highly recommend not going here. read more
