Antney’s Grub Menu

Antney’s Grub built its name on a simple promise: order something, and it shows up at the counter big enough to make you blink. This is Philadelphia comfort food run through a street-food filter, where the cheesesteaks come folded in foil that struggles to contain them and the wings arrive lacquered in sauces with attitude. It’s the kind of place you hit after a shift, after a game, or after midnight when the only other option is a gas-station hot dog.

The menu reads like a greatest-hits list of American counter food, then loads every item past the point most kitchens would stop. Cheesesteaks and hoagies anchor the board, but the fries, burgers, and combo platters are where the kitchen shows off. Below is a look at what’s worth ordering, roughly what you’ll pay, and how to navigate the counter without a 20-minute stare-down at the menu.

Menu Overview

Antney’s keeps its categories tight and its portions loose. Expect a Philly backbone — cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks, hoagies — surrounded by the things people actually crave at 11 p.m.: jumbo wings, loaded fries, smash burgers, and crispy chicken sandwiches. Appetizers like mozzarella sticks and combo platters round things out for groups, and most mains can be bumped into a combo with fries and a drink.

What sets the place apart is the sauce program on the wings and the topping discipline on the fries. House sauces range from a sweet-heat honey hot to a garlic parm that clings to everything, and the loaded fries get treated like a full plate rather than a side. If you’ve worked through fun board-style ordering elsewhere — say the build-your-own logic behind the Sonic secret menu — Antney’s rewards the same kind of mix-and-match instinct.

What the Kitchen Does Best

Three things define the counter: the cheesesteak, the wings, and the fry game. The steaks are griddled thin with onions and a generous pour of cheese (whiz or provolone, your call). The wings come jumbo and double-sauced if you ask. And the loaded fries function as a meal — piled with cheese sauce, steak or chicken, and whatever else you can talk them into.

Menu Prices

Most handhelds land in the $8 to $11 range, with wings and loaded fries hovering around $9 to $11 and the big combo platters reaching into the $13 to $16 territory. Sides and drinks keep things flexible — you can put together a full meal for around $13 with a combo, or split a couple of platters across a table without much damage. Add-ons like extra sauce, extra cheese, or a second wing flavor are typically a dollar or two each.

If you’re pricing out a wings-and-seafood night versus a Philly handheld run, it’s worth comparing against a dedicated wing house like Henry’s Seafood and Wings, where the sauce-and-side math plays out a little differently.

Prices vary by location and change over time. Treat the figures here as approximate and confirm current pricing directly with the restaurant before ordering.

Dining Information

Antney’s runs as a counter-service, takeout-first operation. You order at the register, wait for your name or number, and most people walk out with a warm bag rather than camping at a table. Seating, where it exists, is casual and limited — this is food built for the car, the couch, or the break room more than a sit-down dinner.

Portions and What to Expect

Portions skew large. A single cheesesteak with a side of fries is a full meal for most people, and the loaded fries can stand alone as dinner. If you’re ordering for a group, the combo platters are the smart play — they stretch further than the per-item price suggests and let everyone graze across steak, wings, and fries without committing to one lane.

Ordering and Takeout Tips

A few things make the counter go smoother. Decide your cheese before you reach the register — whiz melts into the steak, provolone keeps more bite. For wings, ask whether they’ll double-sauce or sauce-on-the-side, which matters a lot if you’re driving the order home and don’t want soggy breading. If you want fries to survive the trip, ask for them packed separately from anything saucy. And during late-night rushes, calling ahead for pickup can save you a real wait, since the griddle gets backed up fast once the bars let out.

Who It Suits

This is a spot for big appetites and bold-flavor people: late-night crowds, groups splitting platters, and anyone who measures a good meal by how heavy the bag feels. It’s less suited to anyone hunting for light, delicate, or sit-down-service dining. If you’re after a slower, full-service meal closer to a classic American sit-down, somewhere like High Point Diner fits that mood better — but for fast, loaded, late-hour comfort food, Antney’s is squarely in its element.

Signature: The Cheesesteaks and Loaded Fries

If you only order one thing here, make it the classic cheesesteak. The beef is sliced thin and griddled hot with onions until the edges crisp, then bound together with cheese and tucked into a roll that does its best to hold the line. It’s the dish the whole menu is built around, and it’s the fairest test of whether a Philly-style counter knows what it’s doing. Antney’s passes.

Right behind it: the loaded fries. The kitchen treats them less like a side and more like a second entrée, stacking crispy fries with cheese sauce and a pile of chopped steak or crispy chicken, then finishing with a drizzle of house sauce. Order the steak version when you want richness and the chicken version when you want crunch. Either way, grab extra napkins — this is gloriously messy food, and that’s the entire point.

Pair a cheesesteak with a half-order of wings in your favorite house sauce and you’ve got the Antney’s experience in a nutshell: too much food, bold flavor end to end, and a bag that’s earned its weight by the time you get to the car.
