Ok, if you are old enough to remember the tv show with the theme song lyrics, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name,:" then that is how I feel when I get on their waiting list. Having a weekend retreat in nearby Cedar Bluff, Tony's is almost a certainty every weekend. Now, mind you, on the weekends--particularly in the spring, summer, or fall (especially if Weiss Lake has a fishing tourney), you may have to wait a spell, but relax, throw your feet out and get acquainted with the locals or those who drive from Georgia or farther away for one of his steaks. But don't be deceived. It is more than a "steak barn." In addition to all cuts of steak (my favorite rib-eye bone in: the big un), you can also get a slab of ribs, boiled shrimp, pork chop, tuna and the best chicken fingers this side of the Colonel. The loaded baked potato or baked sweet tater with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar is a satisfying compliment to almost any meat or fish. With almost every plate, you get two sides, so with your tater, I would suggest the salad bar (though my buddy Steve prefers the coleslaw--hey, to each his own. He also prefers the hamburger steak over the rib eye. Just saying.) The salad bar is exquisitely simply and delightfully tasteful. The service can't be beat. Ask for Theresa. She will treat you like family. Anway, they will cook it the way you want it--they just don't ruin your steak by making it well done. With that said, at the end of the meal, you will find your experience at Tony's "well done." I look forward to my supper at Tony's. And Theresa refilling my Coke Zero about a hundred times. Tell them John sent you.
We use Tony's as a date night getaway. Never had better steak anywhere else. Absolutely great service, wait time was not long at all and again we come here 1 time a month or so on date night and never been disappointed
My husband and I each got the bone in rib eye. The steaks were extremely tough. Our dogs got most of ours since we could not chew it. I ordered loaded baked potatoes and was only given butter and sour cream. Since it was a to go order, I could not send the potato back. Very few items on salad bar. What was on salad bar was fresh . The salad was the best part of the meal. The meals cost $78 . Very expensive baked potato and salad. To end on a positive note, the dogs did seem to enjoy the steaks.
