Tony Roma's - Famous for ribs

Opening its first outlet in Jakarta in 1993, Tony Roma's is
quickly becoming Jakarta's choice for barbeque ribs. It's recent
expansion to Bandung further strengthens its position in the
Indonesian market.

While we in Jakarta have only known Tony Roma's since 1993,
its history goes back long before that.

The history of Tony Roma's goes back to veteran restaurateur
Tony Roma, when he opened the first restaurant - Tony Roma's
Place in North Miami, Florida on January 20, 1972.

The restaurant featured a casual decor and comfortable
ambience with the feel of a neighborhood bar, genuine cordiality,
a simple menu of sensational food at reasonable prices, late-
night food service and nightly live entertainment. Baby back ribs
emerged as the house specialty, with people traveling miles to
sample the signature product.

Roma's Place soon became one of Miami's most popular and
successful restaurants and firmly established its niche in the
marketplace.

With the help of Clint Murchison Jr. - a Texas financier and
owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Roma Corporation was established to
fund an aggressive and strategic expansion. A second restaurant
was opened in Florida in 1976. By 1986, the company was poised
for significant growth into a vast number of markets. By the end
of 1998, four continents boasted 212 Tony Roma's restaurants.

Now, Tony Roma's is well-known as an American family
restaurant chain with more than 260 restaurants world-wide and
world famous for its original Baby Back Ribs and beef ribs as
well as other true-blue American cuisine. It was claimed to have
the Best Ribs & Barbeque by US National Rib Cook-Off and Last
Vegas Review-Journal. It also received Best Restaurant Award for
American Category according to Jakarta Kini magazine in 2003 and
2004.

Being one of the best Western food restaurants does not
prevent it from exploring Asian tastes.

Recently, Tony Roma's launched four new mouthwatering dishes
with an Asia-Pacific twist: Sesame Grilled Wings, Asian Honey
Ribs, Black Pepper Chicken Skewer and Pumpkin Soup. Concocted by
chefs in USA, Jakarta and Australia, these creative dishes
possess the uniqueness of Asian cuisine with an American style of
cooking that results in great tasting food products displaying
the bold and robust flavor profiles that made Tony Roma's world
famous.

Still with the intention to always offer the best for its
customers, Tony Roma's joins other best-selected merchants as an
ANZ Spot partner, providing value for ANZ cardholders. Famous for
its ANZ Spot "I Love This Spot" program, ANZ is known for
endorsing only the best cafes/restaurants and hang-out places.
This is reflected in the tagline "I Love to Eat, I Love to Hang-
out, All Year Long..."

As ANZ Spot partners, Tony Roma's offers privileges to ANZ
