Tony Luke’s

Came here out of a recommendation (from RI) and did not disappoint. We had a cheesesteak, chicken sandwich and the fresh cut fries! Awesome Food great service! Manager went out of his way for us! Great attitude! Will be back

This is my favorite place to get a cheesesteak in Philly. I usually get it with provolone, onions and mushrooms. They also do roast pork, which is very good too. This place is a step above the usual cheesesteak places. They use a better quality meat, and the rolls are always fresh. It’s not greasy, but the rib-​eye steak they use is tender and tasty.

Went here based on a friend’s suggestion and we were not disappointed. The meat was well seasoned and the sharp provolone really worked nicely with the broccoli rabe. Yum!
My only regret is sharing the sandwich with the wifey as I would have liked to eat the other half myself.
The manager was very nice and hospitable. Kudos to you sir!
We will return on our next trip to Philly.

Who doesn’t try a cheesesteak when they are in Philly. I was on a Cheesesteak spree and wanted to try all sorts of Cheesesteaks available. I have tried both Pats and Ginos and after some of the reviews mentioning Tony Lukes I decided to give it a shot as well.
I visited the Tony Luke’s Main Street location (not the original) and placed an order for a Cheese steak, a roast ham and a fried cheesecake.
The order took a good 15minutes so I decided to explore the store. The store is pretty much a exhibition of Tony Lukes achievements and his photos (from the films and his cooking shows), there is also a TV but it only airs Tony Lukes cooking show in there. If you are looking for entertainment while waiting for food, Tony Lukes definitely reaches your expectations, but it definitely disappointed me in regards to food as none of them tasted close to Avg.

Tony Luke’s deserves its spot on the Must Have Cheesesteak List, but the money maker is the pork sandwich w/​prov. I think the bread is great, which is also dipped in au jus. Don’t want it for fear of soggy bread? Ask without (which is probably a good call if you’re not going to eat it on the spot). My favorite combo so far is cheesesteak w/​prov, fried onions, rabe, and mushrooms.
The GM is making a big effort to make sure customers are happy, which makes sense seeing that there are some surprisingly negative reviews on Unilocal.He gave us a sample of the marinara sauce and we happily dunked just about everything in it.

Not as good as the original. Cold steak and shorter than most weins. If you like to wait an hour and eat short steak this is the place.

The wings were slightly above average. The Philly cheesesteak was very dry, lack mayonnaise, and not very satisfying. I had high hopes for my first Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia but this place Ruined it.

Easily the worst cheesesteak I have ever had. I have had higher quality at Wawa. The bread was like eating a crumbling sponge and the meat was extremely soggy. Do not recommend at all.

Generally overpriced for sandwiches that skimp on meat and quality. Tony Luke’s has gone way down hill since going corporate. Also the obnoxious self-​promotion and ego of the owner who plasters his face all over the shop is garish.

I’ve lived in Philly for four years and this is the first time I have been to Tony Lukes. I am highly upset with myself. The food was incredible and the service was top line. The manager was easy to talk to and i felt like i knew him for years. This is one of the best chessesteaks I have had. The fries were amazing ! The store was beyond clean and that’s a big thing for me. This tops any chessesteak in the city !

Best cheese steak I’ve had in Philly!!! Quality of food was phenomenal, shop was immaculate and clean. But mostly the customer service by the General Manager Daniel was outstanding!!! He personally greeted everyone that came in, informed about weekly specials and ensured that we were 100% satisfied with our meals. Beyond impressed! IT’S A MUST TO COME HAVE A MEAL HERE!!! And bring your friends!

We went to Tony Luke’s after a night out in Manayunk to feed our drunken need for cheesesteaks and cheese fries. They were selling food faster than they could make it which was a bit surprising because we got there around 12:15am, fairly early as far as a night out goes. We waited in line for 15 minutes to order with only a couple people ahead of us. Apparently their menu options change at 12:30am because by the time it was time for us to order, a regular size cheesesteak ($ 5.99) was no longer an option. We only had the option of ordering the larger, more expensive cheesesteak ($ 8.99). The money isn’t so much of the issue to me as that I just didn’t want a huge cheesesteak since we were also getting cheese fries. I wish we knew the menu was going to change. We were waiting in line before the menu changed, but in their defense, I didn’t challenge it. Tony Luke’s is a small place with minimal seating. Luckily there was a table available for me to wait with my friends but not everyone had a seat. It wasn’t the cleanest place, but they were trying to wipe the condiments section down when it got gross. When we got our order, the cup of cheese whiz for the cheese fries had completely spilled out in the bag as well as some of the fries. It was careless presentation. I asked for a new cup of cheese and they gave it to me without question when I explained what happened. I wasn’t a huge fan of the cheesesteak, although my boyfriend said it was decent. Not the worst we’ve had. They cut the bread all the way through so the cheese leaked all over my hands while eating it. It was the messiest cheesesteak I ever ate. Also, they didn’t put nearly enough cheese whiz in comparison to how many onions there were but that just may be because the cheese whiz leaked out the bottom of the open cheesesteak. The fries were awesome though. One of my friends got old bay seasoned fries and those were even better. I’ll probably be back to Tony Luke’s because we go to Manayunk often but now I know to go before 12:30am when the menu options are greater and less expensive and to get cheesy fries and old bay fries

Great service from Daniel and delicious food! They great you as soon as you walk in the door! Both kids found items they wanted! Kids meals are complete and fresh! The bread was fresh and the service was unbeaten! What a find! Oh– Weds is two cheesesteaks for 1!

They move like molasses. We had to eat condiments while waiting for our food on a Friday night. Food came out to go when we wanted it here. Should have gone elsewhere. They only get 2 stars because when it did come out after 15 minutes it tasted good.

Stumbled into this Tony’s because it has a nice looking storefront and was located in a trendy little main street amongst the bars.
Ordered a roast pork and cheesesteak sand, both tasted good. But the service, condiments offered, and cleanliness of the store made the experience great.

Today was our first stop at Tony Lukes on Main Street in Manayunk. I had a chicken cheesesteak and wife had a regular steak, both were incredibly awesome. nice fresh rolls and great fries. the general manager Daniel was very hands-​on and friendly.
I’d recommend it to anybody, stop in and try them.

When in Philly, you gotta get your steak on! Last time I was in Philly, I got my fill at Carmen’s in the Reading Terminal Market. It was pretty good, but not great. So this time, I was in search of something better and decided to try Tony Luke’s — a steak spot featured by Guy Fieri on TV. When looking it up, they had several locations. Chose the one we were closest to at the time, and when we got there I didn’t realize this was set up as a chain fast food joint. Was excited to try anyway. Ordered the usual steak with onions, mayo and provolone. Even got the larger size, which was the most expensive. Was terribly disappointed! Their large was probably about 10″, not much meat, not much taste. I took it back to the counter and told them that I asked for onions, but mine didn’t have any. They assured me that it does and prompted me to inspect. Sure enough, if you dig into the little meat that there is, you’ll find small pieces of diced onions. To add salt to the wound — which I wish they would’ve put some on the steak — this sandwich was about $ 10!!! Get your steak on somewhere else!

What can I say, Tony Luke’s on Main Street… sounds good to me.
Now I’m not one for cheese steaks, so this review is solely on the service and what I ordered.
I got a regular chicken cutlet sandwich add sauted spinach and sharp provolone. To say the least, the spinach and provolone were godly on the sandwich. The portion was appropriate. As for my partner in crime, she got a regular cheese steak, and for that matter the portion was measly. Both of ours came out to be just under seventeen dollars. A bit pricey.
The décor is standard, sit down, eat, stare at Tony Luke, mind you the place is immaculately clean. Also, everyone working there greeted me with a smile, and I fancied a chat with one chef and the cashier. I really appreciated the customer service.

Finally, a cheesesteak place returns to Manayunk! Tony Luke’s borders on mass produced type of food seeing as it is a chain, but it’s still good! The menu is on the smaller side, so that makes things easier. I’ve gotten takeout from here a few times since opening and have been very pleased. The Maryland fries are good too!
They had their opening during the Manayunk bike race and won me over right away with free samples of sandwiches and sides. Even had the chance to meet Tony himself and he was very excited to be there!
There are some seats inside, but it’s pretty small so I’d recommend just doing takeout. The decorations are a bit over the top, Tony’s face plastered everywhere… but that’s his thing, so whatevs. Seeing as he’s the only actual cheesesteak place in Manayunk, I think he will do well here!

Don’t know how can you mess up with cheese steak. Meat taste like steam not grilled. It was also not cooked. Bread and cheese was cold. Such a disappointment.
