The epitome of an old "hole in the wall" place that makes great food people line up for. It's very clean inside so don't misunderstand my hole in the wall comment, it's just a bit like stepping back in time. It's very refreshing to eat here because I know I am going to get great food every single time. Some people don't want to pay for quality ingredients, some people aren't used to substantial quality food, but if you want a great breakfast or lunch, and aren't afraid of a little animal fat and meat, then this is definitely the place for you. I left you a picture of my bacon cheeseburger before I demolished it, just to give you an idea of what you can expect.

Been coming to Tony’s since 1998. Tony’s is the place to be in Pelham at lunchtime. Best cheeseburgers and hotdogs in town.

The place had a line out the door the entire time we were there, the line moves really fast but it never went away... We didn't spend about 5 minutes in line but they just go down the line take your order and by the time you pay for it you got it in your hands. The best hot dogs I've ever had

The best cheeseburger you can get and it’s heavy too. Good quality meat and the seasoning is so good and he cooks them medium like I like and super juicy. I can’t wait to get one Saturday before I go tear down and build a deck

I’ve been here for breakfast and lunch now. Both were delicious. They open around 5:30am for breakfast and close at 3pm. One of the earliest freshly made meals in the area. A coworker suggested I come for the cheeseburger and the did not disappoint. A single patty was more than enough for me. Order at the counter then slide down and pay for your food. They will put it up on the call your name for you to pick up at counter to take to your table. Employees are very nice and the food comes quickly…even when it’s crowded. For sure a local favorite.

We heard about Tony’s from my Son & DIL, and we just had to go once the word “biscuit”was mentioned!! We only went for breakfast, but were delighted that the biscuit/egg/cheese/sausage lived up to our expectations. Can’t wait to go again, maybe even have a hot dog next time…
