Well I've enjoyed pork spare ribs at some nice places around the world but Tony Roma's along Sussex St Sydney - they were simply delicious - as was the service and the other fine foods on offer.

My partner and I live in Perth Wa, and Tony Romas is one of our favourite restaurants to eat. The food is fresh; the service is pleasant and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. There is often a wait for a table and we understand that this is due to the high volume of customers and the increased popularity... More

We were tired and hungry, and this did what it needed to do, but after a month in Sydney, with all the amazing feasts available, this was a waste of good time and money. The only thing I liked was being able to order a side of mashed potato (which was good). But sides came in small dishes rattling on... More

Mediocre food, poor service and expensive food. The ribs themselves were nice but the sides were horrible. Staff seemed like they wanted to be elsewhere and the decor of the restaurant needs updating. Won't be back in a hurry.

After two previous visits to this restaurant, both of which were fantastic experiences, we couldn't wait to return on our next trip to Sydney. Sadly, I doubt we'll be back again. It was our first lunchtime visit, so maybe this was the different. There was only one waiter for the whole dining room (about half full) and while our order... More

My husband and I dined at Tony Romas last week, at the end of a fantastic holiday in Australia. We have eaten at Tony Romas in the States before and always been impressed with both their meals and the service. However, the service was very poor here. My husband ordered ribs, and as I was not too hungry, I ordered... More

I've often walked past this restaurant and admired the old sandstone building its housed in and wondered what the food is like. On Saturday night I walked past again and, having recently had some awesome ribs in Miami, I decided to try it. Having now done so I now wished I'd kept on walking because dining at Tony Roma's left... More

Have eaten ribs at Tony Rome's twice this month in separate visits to Sydney. While there is nothing special about the atmosphere in,what is basically a 'formula' restaurant, the ribs are great. The meat is moist and tender and comes cleanly off the bones and the sauce has a good mix of sweet, smoky tang. Yum! They do good jacket... More

We were a party of four adults and two children and we were able to get a table without booking. The service was quick and adequate, but not worthy of tipping. The kids menu is great and my two grandsons loved their meals. Three of the four adults liked their meals - two had chicken and I had a superb... More
