Tony's one of those places where I can keep coming to and not ever get sick of it. As often as I eat here, I definitely put that claim to the test.
Tony's is a local diner, that is open late (or 24 hours), with a big menu and even has electronic poker machines. It's a fairly big diner but it's often packed so you might have to wait for a table. Sundays are definitely the packed, just FYI.
It's a big menu, and normally that means there's nothing that shines, but I've yet to have something that I didn't like yet, and I've probably had a couple dozen different dishes. Personal favorites include biscuits and gravy, and the baked ham special.
The staff arr all pleasant and friendly people. Even during the hectic and busy times, they're still chipper. I haven't met THE Tony yet, but I'm sure he's nice too.
So yeah, I highly recommend Tony's!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 9, 2024Updated review12 check-ins
Everything is always good. The staff is friendly and whatever you get is good.
This place is crowded for lunch on the weekends. We were lucky today to get parking and a table when we walked in.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jan 20, 2023Previous reviewThis is a good, popular and simple place. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. The interior is simple with not very many wall decorations.
They offer a separate menu for seniors 60+. They have quite a bit to offer with the entrees, soup or salad, drink and a dessert. My bf ordered the pork chops which everyone raves about. Looking around that's what most people ordered. For 3 pieces at senior price is $14.95 and regular price is $17.95. He enjoyed it and said it was flavorful.
I ordered the ayce fish fry. It was a nice piece with coleslaw. The breading was simple and had a nice crispness. I had a baked potato so that made it filling and couldn't have eaten more.
Will be back for the oxtail which is offered every other Saturday. - Feb 9, 2024
Tony's Breakfast Cafe and Family Restaurant brings me back to the old school diners that I used to go to. You'll find the regular breakast, lunch, and dinner items on here, but there's always specials that rotate on the menu as well.
You better have an appetite, because Tony's will feed you some large portions. The prices and quantity are great for value seekers. No one at my table ever finishes their meal. I love me some good leftovers.
The service is friendly enough, and food comes out pretty quickly. It's impressive how the kitchen can churn out so many different dishes whether it's American, Greek, cajun, and more.
If you stick to the American classics, you should be pleased. Quality can vary. Set your expectations accordingly, and you'll enjoy yourself a throwback whether it's the food or atmosphere. It's clean and items are at a good price point.
Also, there's a slot machine in the back, but no one seems to ever be at it when I've been there.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 21, 20241 check-in
Absolutely recommend this place - my family had a wonderful time and they have been here plenty of times. This was my first time and now I plan on coming back! It was so good, they forgot my French fries with my sandwich and I wasn't eve that mad. They apologized and made everything fine but my Philly Chicken Sandwich made everything even more better. Tony's is the kind of spot that you want to try everything on the menu but would be sad not getting your "usual" meal too. I love mom & pop restaurant's like this because I feel at home and welcomed as soon as I walk in the door. The ambiance was friendly and made me want to go back to support & also enjoy their quality food. If you've never been to Tony's, I recommend it.

Would love to share this wonderful place with you.. The service is fantastic, the ambience is bright and clean and we had a very nice brunch, I had a patty melt my girlfriend had a Ruben sandwich. The soup is very good ~ and the platters were good. Sadly my patty melt was pretty dry and not many onions I did have to ask for some. The deserts was very good as well. I do recommend this place they serve so many differnt types of foods. Enjoy all!

As I travel for business, I find good hometown cafes are the best. You get great home cooked meals, friendly service, and get a feel for the community. Tony's is one of the best I have been to!
First, when you drive up and the parking lot is packed, that is always a good sign. Our party of six sat right down for dinner (I think we were lucky), because it was very busy.
And the food! I didn't thing that a stuffed pork chop could be so big! And my son ordered an omelet. Six-eggs! Great prices as well. My son is moving to this area and I have a great go-to cafe to frequent.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 6057159Feb 20, 2024Updated review
Here I go again...This time I ordered Greek chicken.... And it was delicious .... honestly I'm a fan of the Greek island for their chicken gyros,...but Tony's beat them on the Greek chicken .....I been stuck on the chicken stir fry ..but this is my new fav....
Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Feb 6, 2024Previous reviewIt seems I keep finding myself back there...this time for this skirt steak ...The owner has the right idea about quantity...it does work from some.....
Feb 1, 2024Previous reviewI am truly a fan of Tony's, where you can order lunch Breakfast and dinner at any time ..and if you leave there hungry....Well I don't know what to say...I always start off with their baked French onion .. and I'm truly a fan of their chicken stir fry.... Course it is American style but I like that there's pineapple in there that gives a little sweetness to it.. we also ordered a saganaki omelette. You really can't get that everywhere and their omelettes are fluffy and dry, not oily.. But if you're a fan of well done omelettes then ask for it to be grilled flat... I've ordered their skirt steak in the past and let me tell you.. You are able to feed two people... And also the ribs you order one slab you actually get two ..... There are not many of these restaurants around.... The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the hash browns.... I prefer real hash browns. Not frozen... And for the seniors. There is a menu available.. They have daily specials every day and they also have homemade soup .. .. There's plenty of parking and handicap accessible... The servers are always great.... And I really love their bus boys. .. they're always going around filling waters... Removing plates.... You really don't realize how important that is that when you go to a restaurant then you're sitting there with empty plates, empty water glasses and no one comes around. So thank you Tony's staff

This breakfast place is the bomb. Even if you order your food to go.
Everyone is so nice there and their soup is out of this world.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 12, 2024
Great service and food. Came in on a snowy morning and we were immediately greeted. We ordered the 2x2x2x2 and the meat lover's omelette. Food was great and portions were very generous. But man is it getting pricey to go out for breakfast. Great food but fairly expensive.
