Tony Luke's

We got one cheesesteak with whiz and another with cooper sharp. Both were severely lacking in cheese. Disappointing. The people of this city deserve better!

This location for Tony Luke’s is giving them a bad name. I was served a cheesesteak with a cold slice of cheese on it, not melted in anyway. My mother got a roast pork sandwich with a cold slice of provolone. The quality of the meat was fine, but this sandwich was an embarrassment to their name.

It's not the same as other locations! Considering the Lincoln Fields arena should be better !

We got cheese steaks at the ball park citizens bank. They used to be so good now they have you Get them in the case now.All I can say how terrible they were tasted like mush and there was a huge piece of fat in one of them. Even the wiz tasted terrible. We will never go there again especially for what they are charging it should not be not like that. Horrible !!!

Yuck. All I can say about this location. I've had Tony Luke's before at other locations, and it was very good. Here at the ballpark,my steak tasted like a cup of black pepper was dumped on it. That is literally all I tasted, black pepper. The sandwich was small and thin. This along with the cashier holding up the line because her text messages were more important than doing her job. I'll go back to Campos, much better.

Literally so good! The employees are kind enough (even though they can get frustrated if you don’t know exactly what you want & don’t order it exactly as they want you to — if you’re not a local it is hard to avoid this). The sandwiches are delicious. I had a cheesesteak but my partner and all people mainly recommend the pork sandwich with sharp provolone — both so yummy!

Sandwiches piled up, kitchen is making so much good food. The problem is 50-100 people maybe 150 waiting in line because the people on the 2 registers are to slow. In other years there were 3 registers and the line moved a little better. Who actually manages this place? The Roast Pork is the best sandwich in the park.

Got a cheesesteak 10 mins before the game even started on Sunday and it would end up being cold and disgusting. Not a good start to what was supposed to be a great time at at a Phillies game.

While the meat/onion/cheese had a good flavor, the portion was pathetically small. Also, the bread was a fail. This used to be a prominent name in the cheesesteak game, but no more. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this to my fellow food lovers out there.

Sandwiches definitely need more meat and I'd appreciate if the whole sandwich (including meat) was served hot and steaming, not just heated up. Not the best cheesesteak in Philly.

I recently went to Tony Luke's while attending a Phillies game. What a huge disappointment. I grabbed a roast pork sandwich from the case (should have been my first clue it wasn't freshly made). Paid a bundle for it and when I opened it up moments later, I found what i bought was a sandwich that had obviously been sitting for a while. The roll was sopping wet and the pork was dried out. I went to return it but the line was so long, I ended up eating it because I wanted to watch the game and not waste time waiting in line again. Lesson learned. Never again will I go to tony luke's or anywhere else that doesn't make my food fresh when ordered.

While me and my wife had a great time for the June 2, 2024 Sunday Night baseball game against my Cardinals, we were very disappointed with our cheesesteak from Tony Luke's. Campos is way better but nothing here is as good as the six places we tried in Philly in this order from best: Joe's, Jim's, Oh Brother, Pat's, Ishkabibble's, Geno's or even Claymont Steak Shop in Delaware. The only one we didn't try from the ballpark was the newer exclusive Uncle Charlie's. The line was long (my wife went as my legs get more tired) and they only had white American cheese no provolone or whiz. The first bite of bread I had was hard and stale and the meat and cheese was too gooey and mushy. My stomach even bothered me for a few seconds after eating it and it isn't as sensitive as others. A friend said a decade ago it was good in the ballpark but times must have changed. Not sure if it just is inconsistent and we had a bad experience or with the increased crowds compared to the struggling ones when the team had little hope a decade ago that they just don't care to make a good cheesesteak but Tony Luke's was the sole downside of our fun night at Citizen's Bank Park where my Cardinals made a heroic comeback in the 10th inning.

Whenever I'm in Philly, Tony Luke's the spot! I love the roast pork sandwiches! The chees steaks are so freaking good! This is the only place I can eat two full-size sandwiches!! The service is friendly and fast and the place is always clean.

This spot had the longest line at the ball park and of course, we had to get the food from here. After a tremendously long wait in the heat, it was slightly underwhelming. The cheesesteak and fries were just OK.

Philadelphia is famous for their cheese steak sandwiches so we just have to give this place a try. There are plenty of free street parking outside. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 people to share. The sandwich was 9.5" each and costs around $12.5. Since we didn't eat the sandwiches right away, they weren't super hot. I bet they taste much better eating them right away. We ordered cheese steak hoagie, old fashioned pizza steak and steak italian. All were very good but I wish I can taste the cheese a bit more. My favorite was cheese steak hoagie. And don't forget to get the pepper side!

Good concept but the food was dry. It was quick to get my sandwich though I'll give them that. Huge line to get it though was another problem. Was it worth it? Not really. I've had better cheesesteaks from California, step it up dawg. (Fries weren't too good either honestly.)

Attended the Phillies game on 8/4 and decided to get cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches. The lines are long but efficient. The roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe was delicious. It's been forever since I've had one from Tony Luke's but it used to be my favorite thing on their menu. Juicy pork and lots of it. The broccoli rabe came on the side (I did not add the entire cup so more came with than is pictured here). I did add a long hot to my sandwich which wasn't particularly hot but did add a little heat to my sandwich. The cheesesteak was so-so. Kind of dry and needed more cheese. The fries tasted good but some were underdone. If this review was based solely off of the roast pork sandwich and the efficiency of the stand, it would've been 5 stars. Definitely would recommend stopping in for a roast pork sandwich.

While I expect a line at the Phillies game, they only had 2 cashiers who didn't seem to know how to work a line. Why? Let's get some active beat behind these registers! It's a ballpark and there's a game going! Also, it was my first Tony Luke's sandwich. Wasn't good. Was like Pats and Genos - you know the name but the actual product isn't great and you go somewhere else for a good cheesesteak unless you're a tourist. Fries had been sitting for a long time. It just wasn't worth missing the first inning + for. Won't wait in line again. *at least* they aren't overcharging you. I thought $9.50 was decent for the sub.

Was told this place has the best cheesesteak and chicken cutlet sandwich in the city. I only had a BLT hoagie, as the price was right and I wasn't feeling a hot sandwich. The BLT was stacked with toppings. Lots of bacon, tomato, and lettuce, and on a fresh roll. Something still tasted off about it, like it wasn't quite the BLT i had hoped for. It lasted me two meals, so the size was great, but it didn't meld together like a regular sandwich. Will try other things here, but will avoid regular hoagies I think.

This review is for the location in the F-Terminal at the Philadelphia International Airport (unlisted). Being from the Philly area, it's always a joy to get a "real" Cheese Steak, now that I live in Florida. If you are just passing through and won't be able to make it into Philly proper - get a steak from Tonys NOW. Enjoy.

This is the ballpark so you have to be flexible but I have had better cheesesteaks in California. Not worth the line. I do not understand the hype. Get a hot dog. B- food C- service.

When you see the longest line for food at a stadium you assume everyone there knows what's best -- not in this case. We had 5 guys at the game and everyone one of them thought this was the worst cheesesteak we've had in the city. Light on meat, very little onion or cheese -- just a bread sandwich.... do yourself a favor and have Campos!

Stopped in for cheesesteaks Very good 3 cheese steaks 2 fries &46.00 Service was great and establishment was lean

Incredibly dry. I mean, edible... but no. I don't get the hype. I was first in line and it still wasn't very hot or good. Hard pass Philly.

Suspected E Coli POISONING!!!! Hello Tony Luke's Citizens Bank Park Customers, Do yourself a favor and select another place to take your business!! We attended the Phillies/Angles game on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 . Out of all food choice my son made the BIG mistake and selected Tony Luke's. He ordered the beef cheesesteak with American cheese and onions, no condiments. He drank bottled water. He had no other food or drinks. Shortly after eating (30-45 minutes) he started to feel unwell and had intestinal pains. Because of this, we had to leave the game early. At 2 AM he had a fever of 101, diarrhea, nausea and body aches. The following days he was bedridden and experienced diarrhea 15x's a day. He was absent from school the remainder of the WEEK, unable to do any after school activities and had to call out of work several nights. He turned 18 that Friday, and spent his 18th birthday sick in the bathroom!! All celebration plans were cancelled. He was only beginning to feel better on Labor Day, Monday. We called and left numerous messages with Tony Luke's and Citizens bank park. We wanted to make sure they looked into this hoping no one else is sick or gets sick. We never heard anything! We then informed and filed a complaint with Philadelphia County Department of Health. Tony Luke's needs to reevaluate their food handling practices. Completely Unacceptable!!!

This was my first time trying a chilly cheesesteak ever. I felt as if I should've enjoyed the steak more then I did. They give you an option for what cheese- my choice was provolone. The melted provolone was delish. But with the steak, there was too much of it and definitely more on the dry side.

I was ready to try my first Tony Luke's cheesesteak at the Phillies game and the experience to get it was just awful. I got in line probably too late so ended up waiting a while and the wait wasn't awful but hungrily watching the indifferent staff follow the process for serving customers was awful. They take your order and then you wait in line for one single person to prepare the already assembled sandwich on a tray and hand it to you. They had ONE person and there was no hustle on their part or from the young people slinging steaks inside. It was torture, especially with a game to get back to. The employee fulfilling orders switched three times in the time I was waiting in line. Steak was pretty good. It felt small (or maybe I'm older and hungrier...) Great cheese ratio. But the onions were on the side and cold. This was not worth it. Go to Campos or opt for one of the other amazing options in Citizens Bank Park. This experience confirmed for me that Tony Luke's is a pretty big sell out and the brand is everywhere but not high quality.

I had it at the airport in Philly, and the wings are very salty, and I got the chipotle Bqq fries with little seasoning that was on there but not on there. I was expecting better food quality but it wasn't up to par. The wings come with the buffalo on the side instead of being on them

I had a lay over at the Philly airport and stopped at Toney Luke's first a cheese steak sandwich. Sandwich was thin and needed more meat first $29. The customer service was horrible. Cashier looked like she hated her job, cool took for ever even though there was no one there. Went back for ketchup and the cashier was no where to be found. Her, the cook and the fry guy were no where arruine. They must have gone to the back. I waited until I could not wait anymore. Don't eat here, so many other options.

The food was so good as well as the milkshake. The atmosphere was fun and the staff was friendly. We got there about an hour before they closed and they were busy but service was fast. They have a to go window that's convenient as well.

Worst example of a cheesesteak ever. Truly inedible. I asked for lettuce tomato and onions. I did not get one of those. Meat tasted funny

Wash outs! Been getting philly cheese steaks forever Love Steve's prince of steaks! Love Phillips steaks on pasyunk avenue! Ginos and pats are up their with them as well! Love CHINKS but names been changed recently. But Tony Lukes is a disgrace to a good cheese steak they were horrible 15 years ago and still are today. Save yourself some time and order a real cheese steak like the ones above everyone has their preferences of who is the best. but these real original, NON-sell outs will cover the basics of the real steaks in philly.

My cheese steak brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge. That's what I was singing through bites of my awesome cheese steak (with provolone and onions) while at the ballpark last week. My expectations of a ballpark sandwich were not high, but I was delighted by the freshness of the roll, the tenderness of the meat and the sharpness of the provolone. Add in the curly fries and you have a winner. Generous portions at a fair price give this a fourth star.

Definitely lives up to the hype! One of my favorite philly cheese steak spots & must go if you're in the city. Get there early cause it'll get real busy real fast. They sling orders out fast too though so you'll get some deliciousness in you soon enough. Come check it out for some real Philly goodness! Great job!

The Great Debate Pt. 2: Pat's or Geno's. Any Philly local will tell you that nobody but tourists go to Pat's or Geno's. So, I went to Jim's and Tony Luke's. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to get to the actual Tony Luke's. I was at Citizen's Bank Ballpark and luckily for me I saw that there was a Tony Luke's location. I had to go and I even convinced my group to join me. The food was ready to go SIGNIFICANTLY quicker than it was at Jim's. This was surprising since the line was long although fast moving. Food: I ordered the steak wiz wit and with the onions. This sandwich did not disappoint. The meat was perfectly cooked, the wiz lathered all over, and the onions were nice and flavorful. My only complaint about the sandwich was that the onions came in a container on the side. I wish they had been put in the sandwich for an even distribution. This sandwich was the best cheesesteak I've ever had. EVER. Don't sleep on the fries, either. TLDR: I was nervous to try this at the ballpark. I thought that quality would suffer with it being served en masse. Luckily, this was SPECTACULAR. If the ballpark version earned 5 stars, I can only imagine how good the actual Tony Luke's will be. I look forward to visiting the original location when I'm back in Philly next year.

Don't waste your money! This review is for the Tony Luke's at the Philadelphia International Airport. (Other locations may be different). Poor quality food and expensive. The chicken wings were a joke...just fried chicken with no sauce, no blue cheese or ranch dressing offered, no celery or carrot sticks. They just hand you 6 fired chicken wings and, if you ask for it, little packets of nondescript hot sauce. Worst presentation of wings EVER. My wife had a steak marinara sandwich. It was quite large but very dry. She had to throw away half of it. Forget Tony Lukes at PHL...right across the food court is Sabaros, which would always be a great choice if you like pizza etc.

Just go. Pork n brocolli rab to die for. Easy parking. The original. Now the argument starts. Loyalists to Their brand of cheesesteak is their business. I LOVED mine.

Decent cheesesteak for the stadium. Sharp provolone with onions, cheese was good. Was going to try campos, never had a campo before and kinda wish I tried one tonight. Also got one with wiz and there was barely any in it , for $12.00 at least put some whiz in the steak. There was a decent amount of sharp provolone in my sandwich so I was happy. They were pre made so maybe the wiz soaked in to the bread. For pre made it was ok , I am sure it would have been better fresh but it was ok for stadium grub. I won't compare it to the other big name Philly steaks as I have had them fresh made , not pre made like tonight's. I will say that the meat seems to be a higher quality then pats & geno's. Last time I had a pats & geno's steak the meat was fatty and not good. For the record I prefer Jim's over the others.

Solid sandwich although I feel the ball park ones lose a little quality over the original store

I went to Tony Luke's today after a friend said it was one of the best philly cheese steaks they've ever had. I did not have the same opinion. The overall experience was nothing but average. The philly cheese steak tasted like any other, I was not blown away. The cheesy fries were good, but the normal fries did not look very appetizing, without ketchup they were bland. The chicken fingers were just alright and they were over priced. In addition to the overpriced, average tasting food, Luke's did not have a bathroom.

If you've been to Philadelphia and you have not had a cheesesteak, then you have not truly experienced Philadelphia. There are many cheeesteak shops, with different names on them, but one of the most popular and famous is Tony Luke's. I rate the cheesesteak a 3.5, I give the extra 1/2 for all that he has accomplished. This one man's dream started seventeen years ago and is slowly growing into an empire. His original shop in still on Oregon Ave. and Tony Luke's Beef and Beer Sports Bar is right across the street. http://www.tonylukes.com/menu.htm Tony now has a restaurant at the Borgata Hotel & Casino, in Atlantic City and in Trenton, NJ. He is opening up restaurants in Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Dubai UAE and many more. Nice huh? He has rubbed elbows with some of the best, like long time friend Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri. He recently was in a Bobby Flay sponsored food & music fest, with other great businesses like Katz's Deli, Pink's Hot Dogs and Burgermeister. The food is the best of the best from around the country, as curated by Ed Levine, founder of Seriouseats.com. author and New York Times and Gourmet Magazine food writer: Nine were chosen from across the country and Tony Luke's was one of them! Tony Luke's has won many awards for his old style Philly sandwiches, from the Food Network's 2007 award, to GQ, Gourmet Magazine, Zagats and so many more. He has been featured in Philadelphia Magazine so many times that they have honored him into the "Best of Philly HALL OF FAME." Okay, okay, I'm getting there! Now to Tony Luke's Ashburn Alley, inside Citizen's Bank Park. Plan to stand in long roped off lines. When I finally got close enough, I could read the menu and what I really wanted was a cheesesteak hoagie with provolone. Lots of cheesesteaks on this small menu, but I see no hoagies. So, I start asking my fellow stand in line patrons and they all say, oh no, you can not get the hoagie here. Bummer, lines were long, I needed to get back to my seat and so I did not ask, after glancing around and not seeing lettuce and tomato. My cheesesteak was good, wit onions added, of course. Tony uses rib eye steaks for his cheesesteaks. After viewing his awards and menu for his Sports bar, I really need to pay this a visit. They grind their burger meat daily, their pork sandwiches and chicken cutlets are winning numerous awards. Tony Luke's can now come to your home with Pronto. http://www.tonylukespronto.com/ Tony Luke's proudly supports the brave Americans who defend our freedom across the globe every day. Have you had your Tony Luke's sandwich today? I owe Sam L a cheesesteak!

***I imagine that the cheesesteaks at this Tony Luke's (located within Citizens Bank Park where the Phillies play) is not as good as one of their standalone locations, but it makes for pretty good ballpark food; the sandwich is big, but it is a little pricey given that there is so much bread compared to meat*** Citizens Bank Park (home of the Philadelphia Phillies) features a lot of local food vendors like Chickie's & Pete's, Federal Donuts and the cheesesteak spot Tony Luke's. I knew going in that the cheesesteak at this ballpark location would probably not measure up with cheesesteaks at standalone Philadelphia shops, but I figured I would give it a try considering that a cheesesteak sounded more interesting than a hot dog or an Italian sausage (though the Italian sausages at this ballpark did look good). This Tony Luke's typically has a long line, but the ordering process is efficient. You order at a register and get a number, which you will soon hear after the staff behind the counter (only cooking, assembling and handing out food) finishes your order. I had the cheesesteak with Cheese Wiz and onions. The Cheese Wiz was decent--tasted as you would expect and there was a good amount of it. The steak part was just okay. It was thinly sliced steak (not chopped) so it had a Steak-Ums like feel to it. The onions were good though they were not that evenly applied. Almost half of the sandwich had next to no onions while the other half had just the right amount. The bread was okay. It did not have the great balance of crispy crust and soft interior of the cheesesteak roll I had at Jim's in Philadelphia. There was a lot of bread and too much so. I am not sure if that is the case at the Tony Luke's standalone locations, but it felt like eating a big and chewy French baguette with only a little bit of meat. Still, it was a tasty sandwich and the warm sandwich was a good fit for a cold night game at Citizens Bank Park. The sandwich was expensive. It was $10. A lot of hot dogs and such (even big ones) top out at around $8. Still, this was a sandwich that could be big enough for two people even though they skimp on the meat. As mentioned, service was efficient and quick despite the long line. The staff was pleasant too. Tony Luke's makes a pretty good ballpark sandwich. This ballpark location definitely did not measure up to the cheesesteak I had at Jim's outside of the stadium, but it was satisfying ballpark food. This Tony Luke's stand is located in the stadium so it is only available to game day attendees. General parking is close to the stadium and it is $15 per vehicle.

My girlfriend is from Philly and knows her cheesesteaks. While this is not her favorite Cheesesteak in the city, she says this one gets the job done. This location is inside of Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. This stand is located in Ashburn alley and one of many food stands available. May I also recommend going to Chickies and Petes for some crab fries. But I digress. I did not have to wait very long in line to receive my food. They constantly have the grill doing its thing but they were smart to have sandwiches all ready to go to keep the line moving. They have many combinations to choose from. I chose to go with the provolone cheese and include the grilled onions. My sandwich was delicious. It cost me $14 which ain't cheap but I can get a hot dog anywhere. The bread is the real winner here. I think the next time I visit Citizens Bank Park I will try the other cheesesteak stand to compare the two. I was happy with my purchase. The staff were friendly. Kudos Tony Luke's until next time. Play ball!

Been a Tony Luke's customer for years. From Philly to the Jersey shore and Allentown PA.. went to a Phillies game on 6/27/19, great come back win by the way. I was handed my cheesesteak by the employee and immediately knew something was wrong. It felt like just a roll wrapped in paper. He pulled it off a stack of Pre-made sandwiches. I met our group and we started eating. Well when I opened this up it was the laughing stock of all the food items. Barley any meat or cheese. I guess at that point I should have returned it especially since it's $13.00 for basically a roll. I watched the Allentown store fade away under what ended up being poor management and food quality, my food was always good at that store. I hope they fix this issue at Citizens Bank Park I'm hoping for the business my sandwich was a fluke.

One of the best ballpark foods I've had anywhere. I'm not a Phillies fan but must admit this place makes a legit cheese steak. The line moves fast and the food is hot and fresh. I'd love to complain about this place as a Nats fan but I really can't since they were even really friendly. I'll come back here and hopefully the Nats win again next time.

Hands down the best cheese steak I tried!!!! We been to a lot of places in Philly for cheese steak but this one is the best! Meet is cocked just right and the amount of cheese is perfect ! Will definitely come back

Make sure you get on the line as soon as you enter the stadium. Line get longer as the games progresses. Cheese steaks are made to order and are excellent. They were very accommodating and got my order correct (as I had it without the roll). I'm looking forward to visiting again.

Overall Tony Luke's is known to be an above average cheesesteak, but not this time. I had spent about 4 innings standing directly in front of their vender stand inhaling what I thought was heaven. I hopped in line around the 4th inning and waited about 20 minutes till I got to the front. When I placed my order they said they were out of cheese wiz, peppers and didn't have hot sauce. HOW DO YOU NOT PUT PEPPERS ON A STEAK??? I was heart broken. Felt worse than the day my 5th grade crush gave my arch nemesis a hug. Now, the smart thing to do here would be to jump lines to the sauceeeege stand next door and get a fully loaded pecker... But I panicked and said "ok, I'll do 1 steak with American, wit onions." Complete rookie move right there. My steak was dry without the hot sauce, I felt like I was suffocating on the half melted American cheese globs, and not having peppers complete ruined it. Next time I'll get a sausage for sure.

Got to try our first cheesesteaks today. Everyone recommended this place, so we gave them a try. We got one with American cheese and one with Whiz. We also added onions. Overall, very beefy and tasty. The bread could have been a bit softer and/or the onions more generous. Either way, they were very good.

This is THE place to get a cheesesteak at Citizens Bank Park. They also have the pork and broccoli rabe sandwiches, too. Tony Luke's was recommended to me by a friend, so I tried one of their cheesesteaks. So good! It's more flavorful than another company nearby.

I wouldn't feed this food to my dog. From customer service, cleanliness and quality of food which is not the same distributor as TL, this being a piss poor run franchise. What a disgrace.

The food, good but not as great as oregon ave, but it is one of the better places to hit in the ballpark. This review is based purely on the personnel working the game on Sunday 9/6/15. The wife and I were in line, along with maybe 25-30 people, couples and families included. No sooner we got in line the griddle cook and a woman started to argue. It got louder and LOUDER, and the profanities started flying from a-z. This went on the entire time we were in line till after we left, there was NO type of management to interject. All the other staff looked scared or like the other short order cook with headphones on....found it funny. I certainly did not find it funny, as I looked around and saw children who had to listen to this TRASH. TONY, JUST BECAUSE THE BALLPARK ATTENDANCE IS SLIPPING, PLEASE DONT LET YOUR REPUTATION AT THE BALLPARK SLIP ALSO. You should always have some type of management there to keep control of animals like these.

Worst cheesesteak in philly. Bread was horrible, cheese wasn't melted, and the steak was not even chopped! Really reminded me of a microwaved cafeteria cheesesteak that is one solid peace of steak and really chewy. Highly do not recommend, if I could give it 0 stars I would.

Not as good as other Tony Luke's locations. This place has gone WAY downhill since the last time I was here. You get into one line to place your order, and then take your receipt with your number and go get into a second line to wait for your food. The line move pretty quickly, so you don't have to miss much of the ballgame while you're waiting. The cheesesteaks are available with either American cheese, Sharp Provolone, or the traditional Wiz. These sandwiches are mass-produced, wrapped, and placed into piles, separated (I think) by type of cheese. You are NOT getting a cooked to order sandwich like you would at another location. The meat here is kind of bland, greasy, and the cheese tends to stay on the center of the roll. One thing I don't like... When you order it with onions, they don't come on the sandwich anymore like they used to at the ballpark location. Now, if you order with onions, they come in a little plastic cup on the side, and you get to put them on the sandwich yourself. There are much better food options in Citizens Bank Park. I love Tony Luke's cheesesteaks, but sadly, I'll be going somewhere else from now on when I'm at a ballgame.

Waaaaaaaaaa... .... It's not twenty years ago. Waaaaaaaaaa...it's not the south Philly location. Waaaaaaaaaa...I'm such an ingnoranus that I actually think that expansion is bad. Waaaaaaaaaa.... I'm dumb enough to let myself think that Tony Luke lets his name go out on a product that's inferior to the one that made him famous. Waaaaaaaaaa, Waaaaaaaaaa, Waaaaaaaaaa, sniffle, Waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Oh my word. Reading these TL reviews makes me want to quit Yelp. You people are nothing like Big Texas. Get a grip and kill your underachieving mentality. If youd rather have hot dogs at CBP (a perfectly legit choice), go right ahead. I'm gonna have a roast pork and sharp provolone at Tony Luke's and enjoy my life while you wallow in your miserable hatin' ass existence (while we're at it, smack your hatin' ass parents, i hate them cuz they made you). This is America. Growth is good. If you live in south Philly then by all means stick with your spot, but none of you whiny non-local chumps were going to south Philly on any sort of regular basis, anyway. You went there once and decided it was the best (and you weren't wrong). In order to attain that experience you had to venture in to the real life city...OH EMMM GEEE!!!! You're sooooo Philly!!!! You're not. You're a suburban schmuck too uninformed to really realize that the religious experience you had, that one time in band camp, was merely a (great) sandwich. You've assigned more meaning to it b/c you don't get out much. The reality is that this sandwich (even though staffed by Aramark) is made of THE EXACT SAME STUFF AS THE OTHERS, IN THE EXACT SAME WAY. Eat it, enjoy it, and tell em Big Texas sent you! Go Phils!!!

I want to make this clear, this review is STRICTLY for the Tony Luke's CBP location. I love the ballpark, and I love the fact that it represents local fare. However how local is it? I want to make sure that I am not misunderstood with this review. First of all if you go to the ballgame and ate a cheesesteak at Tony Luke's, you did not actually have a Tony Luke's cheesesteak. Why? Because Aramark doesn't run the actual Tony Luke's in town. I love that CBP has these local restaurants, however if you live in the burbs, drive your ass down to the city and go to the actual spots, not just the ones in the park. So if you think you actually had an authentic sandwich guess what - you didn't! My con's with the CBP location. The slabs of steak is fatty, and chewy. Quite frankly you can get a hell of a better cheesesteak at other places in the park through the no name shops and Harry the K's (they are all the same sandwich) - these are steaks that are finely minced, not the slabs of meat. Secondly like anything at the ball park the prices are outrageous - way too much to say that this is worth $10 per sandwich. I know it totally sounds like I can not stand it, but I am just as guilty as anyone else. It isn't everyday I get to come down from Reading (which by the way doesn't have ANY good cheesesteak spots - that I have yet to find) so I will grab a sandwich from Tony Lukes. If you are wondering what it tastes like, pretty much exactly like Geno's but less greasy, and more stingy on the whiz. My opinion is if the line is more that 3 turns deep - find another spot to eat like the Hatfield stands (the sausage, peppers and onions!) or Bull's BBQ, the quality is much better than this and the wait is nonexistent. I would hope after reading this review you take a small tourist trip and experience various cheesesteak spots in Philadelphia. I am planning on organizing a yelp trip with Steve S. and having a week/weekend with sampling various cheesesteaks in Philadelphia and providing actual reviews. So more to come on that!

This review is for the Tony Luke's in the Wells Fargo Center, where the 76ers play. I've had their cheese steak from the store front outside of a stadium, and that was damn good. However, at the stadium, in this location, all they offered was their roast pork sandwich. And, it wasn't as fresh as it could be. The ingredients were pre-made and staying heated in some kind of warmers. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't great. I like the combination of roast pork, broccoli rabe, and provolone cheese. I just think it would have been much better if it was cooked and made fresh. But that's what you get in a stadium.
