Tony Roma's is famous for its ribs, which are done so that they literally fall off the bone. Cooked in a variety of sauces, the restaurant has gone upper-scale since leaving the US and landing in sites in Asia.
In Thailand, the price of Tony Roma's puts it squarely into the range of the expensive and luxurious, suitable fare only for the affluent bourgeois willing to blow over 1,500 Thai Baht (45 USD) for a meal for a family of 4, in a country where 1,000 baht is more than what the average person earns in three days of work.
Starters cost around 300 baht up (9.12 USD), while main courses start at 250 baht (7.68 USD) and go up to 600-800 baht (18.25-24.33 USD).
The taste is authentic, and are cooked using the same techniques as the ribs in America. The meat is tender and sweet, and does fall off the bone according to Tony Roma's lore. The coleslaw is delicious and feels home made, while the baked potato skins has a generous helping of cheese and bacon bits smothered on top.
Tony Roma's is known for its ribs, but the same can't be said for its burgers. Arriving with a barely cooked beef patty, it felt as if even the average Joe could've thrown it together. The toppings on the burger are decent though, as are the freshly fried, hot and crispy french fries.
We went as a group of 10, and we averaged around 350 baht per person for the entire meal. It's an expensive proposition to go eat at Tony Roma's alone, so unless going with a group, on company budget, or desperate to get some excellent ribs, it may not be the first choice on my list.
