Tony's Butcher Block — Restaurant in Bath (Berkeley Springs)

Mega. Pit. Beef.

This sandwich was brought to Tony's by an angel who said, "Go forth, and deliver the most delicious sandwich man has ever tasted!" And there was much rejoicing when the people of the world came to Tony's and ate the Mega Pit Beef.

Seriously, this sandwich is amazing, with every part of it in perfect harmony. If you stopped reading here just to get to Tony's quicker to eat the Mega Pit Beef, I would claim you a smart person who is in for a delicious meal. We only ordered sandwiches (two MPB and a ham sub), chips, and drinks on this trip, but I'd be back to sample the butcher meats and deli as well. Steaks looked well trimmed and bright red, with lots of options to choose. Slab bacon was seen and I'd bet it's delicious, especially if smoked in house with that fantastic beef. Has just about everything you'd expect from a local butcher, and probably more I'm unaware of. Staff were helpful and patient as we browsed the menu and the shop. Lots of people were in and out while we sat on the front porch and ate, clearly a favorite of locals. Many came to pick up pizzas as well as bags of delicious meats, so I'm guessing those round creations of love are also tasty.

Ordered the Gorgonzola and steak sandwich, tots, and Italian rainbow cookie cake.

The sandwich was wonderful. The tots were a little too seasoned for my liking. The texture of them was great. But the seasoning they use must have had some cayenne in it, and it was just a tad too spicy—especially paired with the bbq sauce they serve it with. I don’t mind cayenne but I’m thinking it was an issue with the ratio they used with the rest of the spices. Otherwise, they still get major kudos for thinking to season their food well. I appreciate that!

The Italian rainbow cookie cake was good too. If you’re into amaretto flavored desserts, this is the one to try.

There is no indoor seating but there are cafe tables outside and a bathroom.

The deli was immaculately clean and cheerful. And the staff were super helpful and kind. We’re planning on doing more trips across the PA, MD, and WV borders to try out the full spectrum of this menu because southern PA is a...

Pros: Place was very clean. Staff very friendly

Cons:

Cheese lovers pizza didn’t seem to have any garlic crust as advertised. Crust burnt and sauce tasted sharp and sweet

Regular hamburgers tasted like meatballs, not hamburger. Fries or chips not included. BOTH teenagers not feeling well about 30-40 min afterwards. Stomachs feeling like they want to get sick, stomachs are cramping.

Pulled pork was good, hardly any coleslaw, more like a wiping of coleslaw. (which was extra charge). I ate a few bites of pizza as well…. I’m not feeling well now.. about 40min in.

Just got here for vacation. I hope we aren’t sick for the few days we’re here.

Doesn’t meet a 4.8 for prepared food. I’d give it 3 stars and if we all get sick, it will get a 1 for prepared food.

UPDATE: Family feeling better after pepto. With all the good ratings, we must have gotten lucky and hit them on a really bad day. But, we aren’t going to give them...
