Tony Luke’s

Grabbed a Phili steak sandwich when on a layover at the airport. Sorry to say it was just average. Roll was old, steak soggy, and onions and mushrooms overcooked to the point of unrecognizability. The real looser was the fries. Reminded me of the Burger King coated, bland no-​color, potatoes. I asked the counter girl if they were hand cut and fresh… the sign says natural cut? What does that mean? She finally admitted after I went back they were delivered daily fresh… but were fresh frozen ! Gotcha ! 2 stars is generous.

Food was okay, not the best cheese steak I’ve had in Philly. Customer service was abhorrent. The woman who rang us up hardly spoke to us and was really unhelpful when we asked a couple of basic questions. She all but rolled her eyes at the fact that we were standing in front if her. I asked for vinegar and was told they didn’t have any, but you can get vinegar on your fries. What? Maybe we’ve just had a long day of travel, but I was super put off and irritated by the blatant rudeness of these women. We were there 5÷9÷16 around 8:45pm.

A little disappointed… I read the reviews and was all hyped up but my cheesesteak lacked flavor. Probably due to under seasoning of an employee. The meat flavor was good and was the bread. I felt that the steak ums I make at home had better taste but again, lack of seasoning was probably why. Other than that it was not bad I guess. The woman who took my order was barely interested but courteous

Normally I would go to the original restaurant but I was unable to because I was catching a flight back to NC. It was a great cheese steak, I always get it the original way with cheese whiz. The staff their seemed to hate their job maybe because of working in the airport. Next time I’m in Philadelphia I will visit the original location.

I try not to pass through Philly without a cheese steak… but I was disappointed by the Tony Luke’s version in the airport… I liked the way they cooked the peppers, onions and mushrooms, but not enough beef, not enough steak flavor, overall the cheese steak was not piping hot for having just been cooked, and the bread was a bit stale…
I would probably pass on Tony Luke’s next time I’m in town.

We came here on our philly layover. Im Not sure why people are crazy over «philly cheese steak» subs. They are boring and plain and nothing like the ones we have in New York. My boyfriend had one from here and never having a true Philly cheese steak sub. He was disappointed. It was basically all meat, dry meat. Minimal onions, no peppers and it came with a side of cheese whiz. Gross. There was of course no cheese on the sub. I tried a bite of it and was thankful that I didn’t order from there. There was NO flavor. The ones in New York are sloppy and delicious with loads of cheese, onions, and peppers) next time we go to Philadelphia we will be sure to steer clear of the original sub. Maybe ours was just bad but I doubt it. Glad we tried it though so now we know.

They shouldn’t even bother serving cheesesteaks here — terrible. Born and raised in south Philadelphia so indeed know what I’m talking about. The steak is poor quality, not chopped and tasteless. The roll was fine.
My husband said the breakfast sandwich was very good. Maybe the roast pork would’ve been a better choice?

Just as I was starting to feel sorry for myself for having to travel for work the week of Thanksgiving, this little gem came beaming at me like a ray of sunshine with rainbows and kittens! I have been to Tony Luke’s many times while in the Philly area and cannot get enough of their roast pork with provolone and broccoli rabe. The pork is so tender and juicy and the sharp provolone and broccoli rabe cut thru the richness of the pork. The fries were hot and crispy too. This location is just as good as the rest. Well done Tony!

The Cheese steak and fries are excellent, came here two times while connecting through philly, the staff however is the lack of 2 stars.
Look I’m from Texas I don’t eat many Cheesesteaks, but when I ask what should I order, I don’t expect *That you order something* is the right response.
The food quality is excellent and the Maryland fries are delicious. If your having a quick layover in Philly, grub here, but don’t expect any service or friendliness from the staff and please dont give me that «it’s philly» bull$#4. We are humans are should be treated to a higher standard than the local level of intelligence.
Also the tables that you sit at in the food court be sure to use your own hand sanitzer and wipe your own tables, the bus boys/​girls just stand around on their cell phones while you look at a dirty table and then them and they just continue to text instead of offering to clean you table. Good luck.

Lousy pork sandwich. I watched the grill technician put slabs of frozen meat on the grill and realized I should avoid the steak sandwich. So, the Italian pork seems like a nice alternative. Cold provalone slices served with reheated pork that tasted a few days old. I dumped the sand which and headed across the isle.

I don’t have anything good to say about this place.
1. Food came off the grill luke warm
2. 0 customer service
A. Classic no kitchen communication or personality at the register
3. Food was just horrible
4. Slow… very slow
A. I could have flown to Spain and back and still be waiting.
5. Worst of all, it was way worse than I expected
6. I feel sick after eating here
¹⁄₅ stars

The food was fantastic as always at any Tony Luke’s. Only issue here at the Philly airport location is the order taking front staff are rude and act like they don’t give a flip about what you are ordering and just want you out of their faces as fas as you can. Again the food was a 5 star but I and many others felt like shit for bothering the girls so we could order, get a drink and pick up our food.

M eh okay
Surprised the cheesesteak sandwich didnt really have much extra… no green peppers… minimal onions…
Meat was good bit nothing exceptional or amazing.
Video monitor had a lot of advertising and PR stuff for Tony Luke.
Was okay… did read the reviews for the otger location n the pics look a bit different so may be just this location…

I ordered a Bacon egg and cheese on a roll since they ran out of Texas toast. The roll was decent and was nothing to brag about. The bacon and eggs were the best part of the sandwich since the bacon was not overcooked and it still has a crunchy texture. The eggs were fluffy and fresh, it certainly did not taste like other cardboard eggs. However, I would not recommend the hash brown as it was too greasy for me. Overall, if you’re here to grab a quick bite, this place is decent, but that’s it.

I could eat another! Steak, egg and cheese was savory, but THAT BREAD was out of this world. I could see it was bread from a brown bag that I discovered came from a local bakery this morning in the city. Some good eats!
Only one compliant — I wish the establishment would advertise the fact I could have bought a cheesesteak even during breakfast hours. The guy following me in line asked for one, even though not listed on the breakfast menu. They were happy to fulfill his order. I’d have done the same had I known but I could see the grill cook had already placed my order on the grill, so I decided not to be difficult by changing my order. Anyway, would have been nice if all items available were on the menu. Still great. You should still go. Do not worry about the calories. :)

Ordered a philly cheese chicken. Boy, it was money well spent! =D The sandwich was bangin’, the fries were crispy, and it seemed to be made with tender-​lovin’ care!
One drawback was the long wait time (8 mins) for my sandwich to be made, but it was worth the wait.

SFO to PHI… I’m tired. I’m half awake walking to my little terminal to head back to Norfolk. It’s 5:40am and I’m zombie. Then all of a sudden I spot a Tony Luke’s. I’m reminded of my trip to AC and the cheesesteak binge Creagan B and I had en route to giving the casinos $ 2,000. Why, yes, I’ll grab a cheesesteak to eat when back in Hampton Roads!
It wasn’t until noon when I had this deliciousness and despite killing time with a flight, nap, and running errands, I was so happy to devour this cheesesteak. And damn was this a good choice! It was tasty. The cheese whiz held its own. I was one happy traveler.
Sure, there are many other cheesesteak options that Philadelphia has to offer but given the circumstances, this was my best (and only) choice.
Top tip: the morning menu only shows breakfast items. Don’t be shy, ask for a cheesesteak. They’ll make it for you. Eat one at the airport and grab an extra for the air. Sooooo worth it.

My family and I enjoyed their indulgent, tasty and affordable food recognized by the Food network twice.
Pros: The Philly cheese and the Broccoli rabe were delicious.
The restaurant is clean and kid-​friendly.
Cons: The Cheddar sauce was over-​powering on the French fries.

I didn’t try the sandwiches right after I purchased them, so my review may not be the most accurate. Since I had a few hours layover before my next flight, I decided to pull a crazy stunt and take the bus to Terminal F and check out Tony Luke’s. The least amount of time it’ll take to go back and forth between Terminal F is probably an hour– the bus ride over takes 10 – 15 minutes each way, then you have to order and wait for your food, and catch the next bus that comes. Also, it’ll take 10 – 15 minutes to get your sandwich at Tony Luke’s, even though the line isn’t that long. I decided to try:
–Junior Italian Roast Pork (w/​Sharp Provolone, Broccoli Rabe, $ 7.59,
): Eh, just ok. The pork was really salty, and it got a little soggy from the broccoli rabe, so not even popping it in the toasted oven helped. If you order this, I don’t think provolone is the way to go. I would give this another try but eat it right away.
–Traditional Cheesesteak (w/​Mild Provolone, $ 8.49,
): I opted for provolone vs. whiz so it wouldn’t get soggy, and I think I would’ve enjoyed this much more with the whiz. However, the bread was good, as was the steak, and I would order this again.
I didn’t think that the cheesesteak or roast pork from Tony Luke’s was amazing, and better than other cheesesteaks I’ve had in Philly. However, since I didn’t eat the sandwiches right away, I’ll have to hold off on my final opinion until then.

Ok, here’s the deal. Airport food is airport food. However, once in a while you get lucky. I got the JR Cheese steak which I had to add onion and peppers too. Fair enough.
I ate at the actual spot in downtown Philly about a year ago and was not impressed, though it was pretty late at night so things could only be so fresh.
This Philly was better than that one even though half the size. Under $ 10.00 and everything was pretty fresh. Not the fastest spot to grab a bite, but cheap, pretty fresh and not too shabby. Maybe next time I’ll retry the real spot.
