Big Tony's West Philly Cheesesteaks — Restaurant in Allen

Came in for a early mid week lunch. I was one of the first people there so it was empty. Location is in old strip center. The other great Philly place, Fred’s is across the street. There is much to the place inside. Maybe seats 20 people. The decor is old Philly related stuff that is probably the same from day one. You order at the counter. I got the Broad Street cheesesteak which has steak, mushrooms, banana peppers, onions, and cheese. I added whiz. Tasty sandwich and pretty good portion. Bread is brought in from Philly so it’s authentic. They have a steak sauce and ranch if you want them. I tasted the ranch which was really dood but didn’t put it on my steak. I did dip into the steak sauce occasionally which was good. Steak was tender and toppings grilled well. In the end you have two great cheesesteak places within a hundred yards of each other. I personally lean to Fred’s. I think the steak is slightly better and it’s more comfortable inside. Either way both these places make...

My Mommy, Barbara, and I went for an awesome Cheesesteak experience just driving back home from a lovely Autism Speaks Walk. We wanted something tasty and this place delivered on that front for sure! The Cheesesteak, Sweet Potato fries, and homemade Tony's Sauce and Jalapeno sauce were all so delicious!!! Also, the customer service of the nice young man at the register, Alex, was on point! He was very professional, patient, and pleasant while we ordered. He also had a great sense of humor! It was our first time and it most definitely won't be our last. Mommy and I have told so many of our family about this spot and can't wait to visit again. We told Alex how we visited Tony Luke's in South Philly which was as incredible ("Wiz wit"), and we were so excited to have a good philly in Texas! Have a blessed day, thank you for reading and we hope that you'll have a grand experience if/when you visit...

Classification of a cheesesteak. A sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. A popular regional fast food, it has its roots in the U.S. city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At BIG TONY’S it is a memento of my travels to the city of Brotherly Love. Let’s open with the Bread. They use Amoroso’s Rolls. These are the building blocks of a textbook cheesesteak sandwich. Cheese Whiz is the next ingredient. This creamy magic adds another texture and layer to the cheese steak sandwich. Now, I am a Texan, and this Texan likes spicy food, so for me it is nothing more than a 4-ingredient masterpiece with the addition of Sautéed Jalapenos

Thank you, Big Tony, for the ever so often reminder that a perfect sandwich...
