Wait, what? I hadn’t reviewed Spanky’s already? Sheesh, I’m falling down on the job. We found these guys last year when we spent our first winter in the neighborhood. Carnivores that we are, we will always check out a well-reviewed cheesesteak. And even better, they deliver! We have eaten there, picked up to go, and gotten delivery. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy– come on in, sit down in a booth, and place your order. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and they usually have a couple games on TV(Philly-centric, obv.). But nothing wrong with it– I generally appreciate the lack of pretense! The sandwiches have all been tasty enough to go back for. They are all large, so go in hungry or with a friend. We have done the regular cheesesteaks, the way-garlicky Swiss Bliss(which is *not* messing around with the garlic but is oh-so-good), an occasional sausage, and the super-gooey Margate chicken wrap. I’m a fan of all of them. The sweet potato fries are good, and the corn nuggets are mildly addictive. The fries, OTOH are pretty dull. But if you order the large sandwich, you’re barely going to have room for them anyway. And if, somehow, you have any space left after all that, their brownies are a solid dessert.

«Home of the Cheesesteak.» Yes it is. Haven’t been here in years and was immediately reminded of why I liked it so much. Solid Philly Cheesesteak spot in Broward, perhaps one of the best. The steak cooked with mushrooms and onions was great and the bread held it up well. Ohh the cheese. very important. was the perfect amount of melted cheese for me. You will leave here satisfied if you order this. I asked for spicy peppers on mine and it was awesome. Haven’t tried it yet, but they also have beer and wings. The place is a bit divey, but excellent service. Very attentive. Our server checked on us very often.

I will always be a fan of this place. I worked here about 9 years ago and I always come back to eat whenever I am in town. The food always hits the spot for me. Although I have heard there have been a lot of changes In management and the food, I always enjoy it and will always come back. Nothing beats a Chicken Philly with cheese and a side of loaded chili fries!

Wow, hands down one of the BEST Philly cheesesteaks I’ve had, ever… Bread was soft, sandwich was not soggy, sweet potato fries were great with there home made honey mustard I give this place 5 stars. I was a little skeptical, it’s right next to my house, I pass it all the time and decided to give it a try, I must say I’m sad I haven’t tried it sooner! YUM!

Bacon ranch Chicken Philly with extra ranch on the side is a must try here. That’s all we get and we have been coming for years. We have only sat down once probably about 8 years ago and wasnt a fan of the inside, so we have always ordered to go from then on. Can’t get enough of there loaded tator tots too!

First-timer! Brought the family… we enjoyed the original Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious! Also tried the chicken ranch philly… it was very good as well. Friendly staff… not busy when we went. Food was hot. Only issue, my husband & son had a football special… mini philly and wings. Server brought wings early… and forgot their mini Phillies. We had to request our food… they apologized and rushes it out! I would recommend!

Yep, they did it again! 16 $ cheesesteak & wing special, took doggy bag home. Tried the Margate flavor this go-round, Medium sauce mixed with Ranch dressing. Which flavor will I try next time?

I never eat in, i ALWAYS take out. Spankys has the best cheesestake sandwiches ever. Id recommend it to anyone. I order a cheesesteak sandwich from them at least once a week for lunch and no complaints here! I order it and its ready in five minutes, and its delicious and inexpensive. Its cheesy meaty goodness!

We’ve been coming to Spanky’s for years. We used to really love it when they were under original management, and then there was a gap of time when we didn’t eat there anymore because the food was different and portions were smaller, and we just recently returned as regulars. We love their phillies, chicken or steak, and their delicious fries. I’m also a huge fan of their wings, especially the honey garlic. Portions have improved and service is good too. Everything is freshly made so sometimes there’s a short wait but I promise it’s worth it. Delicious while dining in, and equally delicious to go.

Not a Spanx owned restaurant but a franchise. They don’t even use Spanx delicious barbecue sauce. I know because I stopped by to pick up a gallon and they pulled out a restaurant sized bottle of KC MastersBBQ sauce. Best to go to Spanx the Hog restaurant @ 147 S. Cypress Road Pompano Beach. It’s the REAL Spanx. I’m a long time Spanx customer when they had an Oakland Park Blvd location. Great cheese steak and always had bottles of their proprietary BBQ sauce on the tables. This Margate replica hands out one plastic ramekin half full of sauce. Ask for more and it’s 50 cents a ramekin. Not so at Spanx the Hog.

Ever since I’ve moved here in 2000, my parents always took us here & we’ve been fans ever since. Really good food for really great prices. We usually do wings & Philly cheesesteaks! Definitely worth trying.

Previously owned by a great family sad to see that they had to sell. Giving the new version a chance. Just ordered 5−19−15 @7:40 will update after eating. After finally receiving my order that sat on the counter for 10 min(felt like a lifetime being I was with my 2 year old), took food home and I must say that I was disappointed with the result. We ordered our highly loved Margate Wrap and it was not the same as it was two years ago. The cheese is now clumped together on one side and the wrap is way too wet. The few saving graces were the corn nuggets and brownie.

The philly here is only second to the best one ever in Key West! It comes with a lot of juicy fresh meat and delicious melted cheese as well as any other fresh toppings you want to add. I would not recommend getting the lunch version as the Texas Toast does Not do it any justice. My qualms here are: 1. They always mess up my order– for some reason no onions is such a hard concept to understand. Then I’m stuck waiting for a whole new meal– every time. 2. They don’t tell you that if you want plain tater tots instead of your fries– they’re going to upcharge you $ 3. Seems a bit silly given a full bag of them is $ 2 at the store and I know they’re using frozen ones. I would come back just for the standard philly but don’t let them price gouge you and make sure to repeat your order like 3 times so they get it right. Enjoy :)

Kat is our server. It’s my first time here and I came with a high school friend Sue she has ever been here either. They serve beer so we both got one I had a red stripe Sue had Miller Lite. I saw a hot dog on the menu you know me I had to have it with chili cheese onion and sauerkraut. Sue decided upon a Philly cheesesteak. We also ordered loaded tater tots I can’t wait to try those. We have the whole restaurant to our selves I’m kind of surprised there isn’t another person in here besides my friend and I. The tots werent exactly what I imagined somehow when it says loaded I always think of sour cream and chives and cheese and bacon., these came with chili and cheese only but they were still really good. I took the rest that were left over home. Sue said her sandwich was really good she had the Philly cheesesteak. The bun on my hot dog never held together from the first grab it had split apart making it really sloppy and hard to eat at one point I was cutting it with a knife and fork and that’s not the way I want to eat hot dog. it was ok I don’t think I would order that again it just didn’t stand up to what I thought it would be. it was good though I can’t say it was awful it wasn’t it was decent. we settled on a second beer and are going to cash out and head on our way and enjoy the Sunday afternoon. the owner of this place is the same guy that had the place on Atlantic Boulevard he’s a true Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I’m all for Pittsburgh. thanks for the great meal see you next time I’m in the neighborhood. Thanks for your outstanding service kat! loved sitting with you

I’ve dined here since I was in high school and I’ve always loved their wings. Now 10 years later, I’m glad that they are still around. I’m still ordering their wings. The variety of wings, in my opinion, are awesome. You also can’t go wrong with their loaded tots.

After Tom the owner read about what happened to me he reached out and contacted me and offered to correct the mistake. So I returned today and I am happy to say they took care of things and my steak sandwich was great.

The food wasn’t what I expected based on the appearance when I first glanced in my take out box. But it was really good taste wise. The philly cheesesteak was seasoned welled, not enough onions or peppers for my liking. It was like one piece of each per bite. The spicy raspberry wings were really good. Also my bf had the hot Italian sausage philly and he loved it. Overall, a great restaurant and will be returning soon. I can’t comment on the restaurant appearance or décor because we ordered take out.

I was actually going for Phở when I passed this place, and the lure of a terrific cheesesteak won that battle. A terrific cheesesteak is tough to find in SoFla, but then I saw the sausage marinara sandwich on the menu, and the sausage marinara won THAT battle. It was nothing short of great. I was truly conflicted, and torn, felt like something was missing in my life. I waited exactly one week, and went back, stern resolve in tow. Ordered a cheesesteak. Provolone. Mushrooms. Onions. I am now complete. Great staff who you can tell want to do a good job. TV’s everywhere with sports on them. I’m a cole slaw snob and their’s is really good and fresh both times I went. Not a humongous fan of their fries, but I only ever eat a few of them anyway. I went to HS in Philly. These aren’t made in the same way as the ones I remember, but the two sandwiches I had were upper tier, and will go back for both of them. People also seem to say nice things about their burgers, so that’s going to have to happen eventually as well. Good spot, skip Wendy’s and go here instead.

I was excited to try this place since I was finally in the Margate area. I ordered the 9inch Philly cheesesteak with tater tots, I wanted sweet potato fries but they were all out *sigh*, it was only 3pm I was super bummed. I also ordered a side of 8 honey bbq wings all to-go. I got home and opened the containers and to my surprise the sub was large I could only eat half. After eating it it was ok not the best as all the reviews state. The best cheesesteak is in North Miami at Super Sub and I have been on a search to find a place that compared to that place in Broward but have had no such luck. The wings were good as well for 8 pieces it was more like 12 piece since the were so big. I’ve tried it I can cross it off my list.
