As a Chicagoan, it has been such a treat to revisit my Chicago heritage in food. Yes, Tony’s is that legit, the taste of all the food is on point and all the store memorabila is just as authentic. It’s so refreshing to visit a food place that sees their customers face to face and authentically interacts with their customers. My experience here has been awesome and so is their food, I would come here again and again! 10/10

I wish this place was closer to me! But I can assure you every time we’re here or near here, we’ll be stopping back in. This was excellent! We ordered the combos (of course) their hand cut french fries and of course we couldn’t leave without getting the chili cheese fries and even shared an onion ring. They took great care of us, just as if we were in IL, so good, I can’t wait to visit again. Thanks for the beef sammich, it was great, just like I had as a kid (not to mention it was affordable for me and my 3 boys to eat!)

If you want a true taste of Chi Town dogs and beef Tonys is a must go! DEFINITELY the real deal. Brings Chicago to Sarasota without the weather. Love the homemade fries.

Finally had the opportunity to stop into Tony’s chicago beef, we’d been eyeing then for some time. Place is an authentic chicago style shop with a lot of cool Chicago memorabilia. Barstools and plenty of tables to sit at. First we tried the beef which was excellent. We split one so we would have room to try the dogs and fries, which were equally as delicious. Father and son were super friendly it was worth the hour and a half drive from seminole fl.

I am a native Chicagoan. This place transports the diner to Chicago. Excellent Italian beef with giardiniera, home cut fries, IBC root beer. While we were eating, a couple people came in and ordered hot dogs with ketchup. That is a cardinal sin on a Chicago dog, but the owner didn’t ketchup shame them. Highly recommend you try this place out and order whatever you want on your hot dog.

This was our first time at Tony’s Chicago Beef Company and we had a great experience! The atmosphere is awesome — the nostalgic Chicago decor really makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the Windy City.
We ordered a chili dog, a classic hot dog, fries, and a hamburger — everything was fresh and tasted great. The prices were very reasonable, and what really stood out was the staff. They were super welcoming and friendly, even while working hard during a busy rush. You could tell they genuinely care about their customers.
We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend giving this place a try.

I absolutely love everything about this place. From the owner Tony being a gem of a human being, to the food served up with love by Tony himself as he hand carves the beef, to the decor and feel of an old-time sandwich shop. When you do a few things really well, you don’t have to have a huge menu and Tony does it really well. I’m already craving another sandwich. Tony, it wasn’t a threat, I’ll definitely be back

The BEST Chicago Style Hot Dog I’ve ever had outside the Windy City. I knew it was going to be authentic when they had Green River in the drink case. The staff treat you like old friends at the neighborhood cookout. For anyone homesick for authentic Chicago style hot dogs and Italian Beef, this place is a god-send. 1000/10 highly recommend!

I’ll start by saying, thank you to the person who recommended this to me if you ever read this. With that it of the way, I’ll admit that my experience is limited as I just went there for the first time yesterday and only walked out with a Chicago style hot hotdog. But I can assure you based on this alone I can confidently say that they’re working with some magic here.
I’ll be going back to check out more of the menu, but for anyone familiar with what a Chicago dog should taste like, this is about as close as you’re likely to find within a several hundred mile radius. I look forward to updating this review.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem, this is the spot!! The food is consistently good, affordable and fast. The guy that runs the place is always friendly. I’ve had the Chicago dog and the chili dog and both were excellent. My only complaint would be that they need better packaging for the fries on take-out orders but that’s only because I was trying to eat them in my car and it was difficult. Definitely recommend checking them out!!
