"You can’t be a cool little place near the water with a street level bar, fresh food, good vibes, and great service. Stop by and grab a drink and one of their famous cheesesteaks!"

"We have spent so much time at Tony’s this past summer. We love the outdoor bar/seating area. It’s so nice to sit out there on a beautiful summer night. Everyone loves the food and the service is great! My go-to is the salmon lox. My husband loves the crunch dog and burgers. The kids love the burgers and tenders!"

"This was my wife's and my first visit to Tony's, and we had an enjoyable experience. The food was good , the service was quick (it was a Wednesday evening and there were two other tables occupied when we arrived), and the prices were reasonable. The menu has a decent assortment of apps, sandwiches, and other two-fisted items to shovel into your pie-hole. There are 19 beers on tap, plus a selection of canned and bottled beers to choose from to wash down all the deliciousness you will be consuming. The interior is nicely remodeled and gives off a warm and friendly modern vibe. We were very happy with our visit and will be eating there again. BTW, the cheesesteaks rocked!!!"

"Stopped in for lunch with my family. Very nice atmosphere. Typical bar tables with both high seats and normal seats. The food was good and the service was excellent. I ordered the smoked bologna and I was very happy with it. We did not order any alcoholic drinks... so can't comment on that. But the food prices were average. I will keep this place in mind next time I am in town."

"An almost perfect experience here! JP was the bartender and he was beyond attentive - never an empty glass and informative about the menu choices. Great food selection & it was really good. Had the duck wontons, mahi tacos, Italian sausage w/marinara & the Coney dog...all were delicious! (except my sausage was a little dark on one end). Will definitely be back soon!"

"Decent pub to have a casual dinner. I had the Mediterranean salad and my wife had the Mediterranean grain bowl. The salad tasted good but was not fork friendly. The romaine lettuce was cut to big and the vegetables were cut to small. But other then that it was very good. #Tonysdowntown #pub"
