As soon as you walk in you're greated by all. This place is so cool, so relaxing what a great atmosphere! The servers OMG fantastic!, The Food Fabulous, absolutely fabulous! I had the steak tacos a definite, scrumpt dilly..icious, made with live good flavors throughout! I would and will go back again and again just to try more off their wonderful menu

Took a day trip and ended up at Tony's. The name threw me as in my hungry state, as then I was thinking of pizza. From the moment we walked in, I was taken to a totally different place! The hand blown glass hearts & cheribus hanging from the chandeliers, the light up wings on the wall & the bathroom was not only emaculent, it was stunning! I decided to go off script and try something completely different than my usual picks. I got half a pineapple with shrimp, steak, chicken, pineapple, and onions in a cheesy sauce. Guacamole & Chips. Fresh! Delicious & came out quickly. I had a Fiesta in my mouth, and the pineapple was sweet and tender. Stayed with water as I had already eyed a treat for later. Fried Ice cream! I had never tried this before it was crazy! Like a cinnamon puffy donut with vanilla ice cream inside drizzled with chocolate & honey with strawberry puree on the sides of the bowl. I actually wanted to rename the dish... Plated Sex... I was left completely satisfied. They do offer a Military Discount. Unfortunately, the manager had stepped out so they couldn't fix the bill. It was a pricey lunch, but well worth the money. Was worth the 2.5 hour drive! In the summer, they can roll up the garage style doors and have a real party Highly Recommend

I recently dined at a restaurant that was located by the river and had an amazing view. The whole place was well-maintained, and the food tasted really good. I was surprised that the prices were quite reasonable, and the staff were all very friendly. I had such a great experience that I'm definitely planning on going back soon!

Tony's is always delicious. Their food and service are always consistent. It will always be one of my go-to places. I highly recommend it. I once had the most amazing dragon fruit margarita there! The flavors were incredible. It had chunks of dragon fruit, a gummy candy, and a sucker on top!

This hidden gem is located in a housing community on the Catawba River( there is a river walk and seating area along the river). Tony’s features both indoor and outdoor seating - including a kid’s table on the patio for small patrons. The restaurant had beautiful decor mostly sugar skull/day of the dead. Staff was extremely friendly & attentive, despite us arriving less than an hour before close. Alex let us know how much time we had prior to the kitchen closing and offered us chips & salsa after we let him know we would not be eating. The drink & dessert menu is EXTENSIVE & the cocktails were delicious! We did not have any food but we could see that the portions were generous & other patrons told us the food was great. There is free parking spots along the street .

The Guanajuato with steak was absolutely amazing. I would definitely order again! My frozen margarita flight was definitely so amazing and tasty. Great atmosphere. Our server Abigail was the best! So glad we came here. Can't wait to bring the rest of the family!

This visit was for a birthday. They made it great. Food was really really great. Such a fun atmosphere.

Thought the food was good and location great. Sat outside on their patio with a river view. The chips and salsa really good as the chicken fajita I had.
