"Vegetarians can eat as well as meat-eaters at Tony Luke's. This sandwich is called an Uncle Mike. All well-cooked vegetables, and it looks like a mess, but it's high-flavored and soulful eating."

"This tender Roasted Pork Italian is a must eat."

"While Tony Luke's is best known for its pork sandwich, the chicken parmesan is not to be ignored."
Stephen Rushmore Jr.

"The Pork Italian Rabe is Tony Luke's signature sandwich. The pork is juicy and garlicky."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle

"Luke's veal cutlet is excellent, and if that's what you crave, you won't be disappointed. But, for your first visit, you must order a Pork Italian Rabe."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle

"Tony Luke's makes a very respectible cheese steak "with wiz" (cheese wiz and onions)."
