    TikTok brought me here and I'm forever grateful ! I've been getting the Stallone every time I come because I fell in love after first bite! TT tells you to try it hot but haven't done it yet! Pro tip- If you order online, it doesn't say it comes hot so just put it in the notes/or call the store & they'll heat it up for you !

    The taste you can enjoy! Best subs around the town! In 14 years living here my first time stopping by!!! Didn't realize I was missing out !! Good service!

    Turkey Melt on Crusty Italian Bread

    The food came out fast, considering there was a crowd of people. The line moved very quickly, the restaurant was clean with. The amount of food that came out was significant, the bread was pretty much a foot-long and yes, indeed very crusty! The chicken Parm was very hot and the melted cheese put the flavor over the top. The turkey melt in my opinion was slightly better as it was my preference of what I ordered. I did not realize the portions would be so big and maybe would like to see if they can provide half orders in the future.

    I visited this new Tony's a few weeks ago for Sunday lunch. I was excited to see this new outpost of Tony's because I have dined at the original up in Montgomery County near Lake Conroe. That was a 5 star visit. I ordered the DiCaprio cold sandwich which is their chicken salad sandwich that also comes with cranberry pecans, cheese and bacon. With chips and a fountain drink and tax my bill was $16.50. A real deal. The meal was ready in about 10 minutes. The chicken salad here is simply the best. Extremely flavorful with the creamy chicken salad mixed with cranberry pecans. Yes you can taste it. Add to it the bacon and cheese and absolutely delicious bread together makes for the perfect sandwich. From a taste perspective, this is as good as it gets. Price wise it is a value for what you get both in quality and quantity. This outpost is about 20 miles south of the original and the folks of Tomball are lucky to have it. My only ask for Tony's is how about bringing the next one another 15-20 miles further south for Houston's sake? You have a winning combination here but come further south where more people live so that they can enjoy your goodness. Please!

    This place totally blew me away! I don't always have high expectations when going to a deli--how high can the ceiling for sandwiches really be? Well, I can confidently say: very high. My partner and I ordered The Martin and The Stallone, both toasted, to share. Both of these sandwiches were incredible. Truly some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. They were rich, flavorful, and packed with high quality ingredients. While The Stallone is arguably their most revered menu item, I think I actually enjoyed The Martin even more. While I did love The Stallone, it was almost *too* rich and salty. The Martin felt more balanced, like I could just keep eating it and not get sick. But it still held the same complex flavors. I also think a standout part of the sandwiches was the bread itself--fluffy on the inside, toasted to perfection, and sprinkled with oil and parmesan. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

    I've heard Tony's described as one of the best sandwiches in the country, & they really do live up to their reputation! I was not prepared for how much flavor explodes out of their sandwiches. They are super generous with the oils and seasoning- in a good way. I've tried a few different options and my favorite is the Stallone, their Italian sandwich. It's offered under the Cold Sandwich section, but you can request for any of their sandwiches to come toasted, which I highly recommend. Their usual 12" size is extremely filling for most people. Their sandwiches keep really well and I prefer to just save half of a 12" for later instead of sizing down to a 7".. all the oil and seasonings make it taste even better later in the day, as long as you store the leftovers safely. Service is consistently friendly and helpful, even though the food can take some time to come out. It's a pretty popular spot so the line can get a little long and the seating a little full, but nothing overwhelming. This is truly a great sandwich shop that I think everyone should have a chance to try. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 10/5 - Service: 5/5

    Oh yes! The hype is real! This place lives up to its name. The sandwiches are to die for. I really like a good sandwich and this place is it. You are treated with a warm welcome and there are menus you can grab at the counter. There's a hot sandwich line up and and cold sandwich line up all Italian names (cute). There's salads and sides but whose going for the salad... I do love salads too maybe I'll try that one day but for now I will try multiple sandwiches first lol. I have one down lol and a few more to go. This place will definitely be in our rotation when we want a good sandwich. A good sandwich must have good bread and yes this place is it. The bread it buttery crunchy and pillowy. It's a small shop with seating good for a quick lunch and there's a little outdoor patio area again good for a quick lunch. Hubby and I had hot sandwiches and will move down the list lol to try more. They didn't receive an award for nothing! Well deserving. Oh and there's a bambino menu for the kiddos and paper plate drawings displayed all over the walls really cute for the kids.

    Tony's Italian Deli is easily one of the best Italian sandwiches I've had in my entire life! The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is professional and courteous, and for the price you simply will not find a better Italian sandwich anywhere in the area. We ordered The Stallone and The Rocky, and both were fantastic with their own unique flavors. Each sandwich was made with generous amounts of gourmet meats, and the bread was fresh, airy, and perfectly crispy. The red peppers on The Rocky were especially delicious, and the combination of meats and pesto on The Stallone was amazing. Both sandwiches were drizzled with olive oil and red wine vinegar, which absolutely put them over the top, the kind of touch you'd expect from a genuine Italian restaurant. The value is outstanding! For only about $17 per person for a 12 inch sandwich, bag of chips, and bottomless fountain soda. The dining area was kept continuously clean, the staff was friendly and professional, and while there were steady crowds, it never felt overwhelming. It was a really enjoyable, simple, and comfortable atmosphere that fit the meal perfectly. Overall, I give Tony's Italian Deli two enthusiastic thumbs up! They deserve every one of Yelp's five stars! This is truly one of the best sandwich shops I've ever visited, and I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended fantastic sandwich shop!

    I tried Tony's in Magnolia years ago when Yelp put them on everyone's radar for being #1 in sandwiches, and I remember they were amazing but that drive was just too much to justify going out there, and I kind of forgot about them. I'm not sure what reminded me of this place, but I was so excited to see that they have this location, which is only 30 minutes away now. The sandwiches are still amazing here. It's funny because the pictures in their menu look so good, but once you get your order, you realize those pictures don't even do the sandwiches justice. Here's what we had: Minnelli sandwich on crusty sub bread- 5/5 fantastic flavors and freshness. It comes on a sub roll but next time I want to try it on the marble rye. Chicken parm sandwich - 5/5 so saucy and delicious. Nothing is overly seasoned so the freshness of it all shines through. Carrot cake - 3/5 not bad but I've had better. I could taste the refrigerator flavor so that part bothered me. I wouldn't get this again. Cream Puffs - 5/5 but I wouldn't order this one again either. The cream puffs are fantastic, but you only get 5 little puffs for almost five dollars. It's just not worth the money. Side note: the menu listed eclairs but the guy who took our order, Slim, said they don't sell that anymore. Slim, btw, was super nice and helpful. I saw a few complaints about customer service but I didn't have any issues with Slim! Definitely recommend this place and their sandwiches! I'm planning on trying other flavors next time!

    Pastrami, onions, mustard, toasted
    Yvonne V.

    Felt like I was walking into an Italian deli in NYC! There's a variety of "Carnegie" choices and we decided to order the Stallone and build your own pastrami. The bread was super soft and food was delicious!! Staff was nice and patiently answered some of our questions. Shop was crowded but there were some outdoor seats. Definitely will be stopping by again!

    This is easily the most amazing sandwich I've ever eaten! I ordered the gandolfini and my husband ordered the Stallone. We couldn't believe how good they were. Well done Tony's!

    Rocky and Stallone
    Rachelle K.

    The sandwiches here are fantastic. Lots of combinations and options for deli meats. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant setting was casual but comfortable. We also ordered a cannoli and it was super fresh. The only disappointment was the "crusty Italian roll" - the sub buns were not crusty at all. They were chewy, which likely means the bread was made the day before. I wouldn't promise a crusty roll if I couldn't deliver on that consistently.

I had enjoyed their food before, but this was my first time actually going in and sitting down -- and it was such a lovely experience. I stopped by on a Saturday after a nail appointment, planning to meet a girlfriend. I arrived almost an hour early, so I ordered a cappuccino and a small bite to eat and asked if it would be okay to sit and do a little writing while I waited. I was welcomed so warmly. Paola (one of the managers/owners) assured me it was absolutely fine, and she was so kind and attentive from the very beginning. The café itself is charming, cozy, and inviting -- the kind of place you can truly relax in. Once my girlfriend arrived, we decided to try the teatime option (which I didn't even realize they offered until I saw it on the menu!), and it was such a treat. We also shared a salad and ended up talking and catching up for nearly three hours. Not once did we feel rushed. It was the perfect atmosphere for meaningful conversation and connection. I've also visited on my own and had an equally wonderful experience. It's just as special whether you're meeting a friend or enjoying quiet time by yourself. The tea selection is beautiful -- I brought home some Lady Grey (I'm a huge Earl Grey fan), and it was absolutely delicious. Paola is truly a gem -- attentive, welcoming, and genuinely warm. That kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Hands down, 10 out of 10. Panicafe will always be one of my go-to spots. If you're ever in Spring, stop by -- and tell Paola that Latice sent you!

    First time trying Portillo's and wow -- I was impressed. I ordered a Chicago-style hot dog (no…read moreonions, peppers, or pickles), a chili cheese dog, a medium fry, a chocolate cake shake, and a slice of their chocolate cake. The hot dogs had great flavor, and I liked the amount of toppings. The quality was solid, with a nice snap to the bite. The fries were mediocre nothing special But the real stars of the meal were the cake shake and the slice of chocolate cake. The hot dogs would make my rating a 4 but the cake slice + cake shake bumps my review up to a solid 5! I wasn't expecting the shake to be that good -- it was loaded with pieces of cake in every sip. The chocolate cake itself was moist, airy, and rich without being overly sweet. It had the perfect balance between cake and frosting. I'll definitely be back and making this a regular treat.

    First heard of Portillo's at the car show at Reliant stadium a few months back as they had a vendor…read morebooth in the arena and they handed out info about the place. Just been so busy but finally got time to go and try. I will say that I wasn't impressed overall. But I also knew I was going for a hotdog and my friends were gonna order a broiled chicken sandwich. First from outside the bldg looks nice and modern and has a diner vibe. Inside looks diner/retro sorta and plenty of seats inside and outside. Overall appearance looks good. Staff friendly and welcoming and helpful with our questions since first time visitors. My main issue is they are pretty much à la carte. But do have a few combos on a center menu bar. but it didn't list all items or show all items available in combo form. I asked cashier if I had to order each item separate and she said yes. So my hotdog was $3.89, reg fries $2.99 and drink $2.49 so a total of $9.37 before taxes and the broiled chicken sandwich $7.19 so a total of $12.67 ea. Total for all 3 was $37.57 The hotdog had no size choices meaning regular or 100% beef frank or larger size. So the hotdog I got was a regular sized hotdog and the bun and toppings were bigger in size and portion then hotdog. The broiled chicken looks like a half of piece of a chicken patty, very small for the price. Way smaller than other fast food places like a chic-fil-a, Whataburger or Popeyes. The fries were actually really good but I wanted onion rings so when I asked the cashier if they were real onions cut up and battered or even pre frozen but real onion rings and not fake onions rings like BK she said no they are not real onion rings so I passed on ordering them. Once we went to the drink station they were out of sweet tea, and didn't have lids to fit the cups they gave us. I got a soda and then when I picked up our food I saw a drink station for drive thru and asked cashier if she could give me a sweet tea and she did but it didn't taste good at all so I decided to drink the root beer I originally poured. Trash bins were full, my table was clean but the seat I had to wipe down crumbs before sitting down. They had a lot of workers behind the counter not sure why there wasn't one or two in dining room cleaning and taking trash out and restocking drink station. Over all the hotdog did taste ok, but as a comparison the Chicago dog I use to get at James Coney Island with the option to upgrade to a beef frank is way better overall. They really should add an option to upgrade to a bigger dog. The chicken sandwich overall tasted good but very small and over priced. Due to portion size and higher prices compared to what you can get at other fast food places with larger portions I probably won't return.

I had a blimpie near my house when growing up but it had been nearly 20 years since I've been to a location and tried their sandwiches. This location also happens to be very close to home, so it was only a matter of time before I visited. This location is pretty small and cozy, with a small section of old style carpet in the dining area up front which you rarely see in fast food restaurants, much less any restaurant, these days. I tried their 12" meatball parmeseana on parmasean flat bread as recommended by the sandwich maker. The sandwich itself was great and messy, unfortunately the meatball is not mostly beef like you might think. It's mostly pork with maybe a hint of beef. Service was excellent and the guys behind the counter are pretty quick and efficient when making sandwiches.
