Delicious Italian beef ... unpretentious spot for lunch, that is frequented by locals and visitors. The dogs and burgers are terrific too.

Seriously one of the best hot dog stands in existence. Quick and friendly service combined with every hot dog favorite you can think of for a very fair price.Kid-friendliness: This place just has that old time, wholesome feeling that invites kids and families to enjoy themselves.

MrsDrPepper !

Very surprised that a place with the words "beef company" in it's name would serve frozen burger patties. Very disappointed. Burger also had grill marks when it was clearly cooked on a flattop. Definitely not worth the $8 I paid for a regular cheeseburger. Also don't know where they keep their sodas but it was hot.We were at the one on S Tamiami trl near Seminole. And my coworker asked for a cup of ice and never received one. And my apologies, they must have used a skillet. Cause I dk of another way to smush all the grease out of a burger to the point of breaking the patty. I know it's not possible on a grill. But don't worry. We will never be back so you don't have to reply rudely to another review from me. And thank you for ignoring the fact that you don't use fresh meat.

Stopped in yesterday wanted a few beers and hotdogs. Well the bartender walks by us 5 times not even asking if we needed help. Guy she knows sits down right next to us and she runs over to take his order. That did me in ! walked out horrible service took my party elsewhere

Ok, we tried the 2 hotdogs special.Fries were crispy and spot on! Hot dogs were good to average. Chilli, cheese, onions.Not bad but the poppy seaded bun was soggy on one side? Thought that was strange, until the second dog, chilli, slaw, onions was just as soggy.....?Soggy comes from excess water not toppings! I don't know, most likely i wont be back. Several other options close by.

Okay! I don’t normally write a second post and this one verifies Tony’s is the best Chicago Beef Sandwich in Florida so far. I came back from the holidays from Chicago to Sarasota and the first thing my family and I wanted was a Tony’s Beef and sausage. After days of eating prime rib and all the holiday delectables…then one day of light eating…we felt a craving to get a Florida Chicago beef sandwich and go home to rest. I at one point called it better than portillos which I’m still standing by. Thank you Tony’s for being here! We so appreciate the authenticity.
