More than just a typical Philadelphia cheesesteak joint, Tony Luke’s redefined the Philly sandwich experience with specialty favorites like the award-winning roast pork Italian and chicken cutlet. In fact, the cheesesteak was not on the menu originally. Philadelphia’s love for cheesesteaks prompted the Luke’s to make their own version, which has stayed a bestseller since the addition to the menu in the early 90s. Tony Luke’s menu now includes chicken cheesesteaks, seasoned french fries, hamburgers and more.

Luke Jr. — formally Lucidonio — oversees the franchise. He is a restaurateur, actor, musician, and entertainer. Gourmet Magazine has twice hailed Luke and his restaurants for quality and innovation. Popular television series Throwdown! with Bobby Flay, Dinner: Impossible, Man v. Food, and Food Wars have all featured Luke and his restaurants on various episodes.

Tony Luke’s works with MBB Management, a firm specializing in hospitality management, to run the brand from concept and development to licensing, day-to-day operations and financial accountability. Working alongside MBB, Tony Luke’s has continued to expand through licensing and franchising, with close to 30 locations operating across the Mid-Atlantic and Bahrain.
