Tonys I-75 Restaurant

Very interesting place to say the least. Glad to have experienced it, and would go again if ever in the area.

5-29-10
WE ENTERED AT ABOUT 7:30 PM. THE WAITRESS SPILLED HOT COFFEE ALL OVER MY FIANCE' AND DID NOTHING, SAID NOTHING. WE ORDERED COFFEE AND IT TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTED FOR THAT. DIDN'T EVEN ASK US IF WE WERE READY TO ORDER. FORGOT THE SWEET AND LOW THAT WAS REQUESTED WHEN WE ORDERED OUR COFFEE. I ORDERED PANCAKES AND EGGS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO PANCAKES LEFT!!?? THEN I GOT PANCAKES THAT WERE REHEATED AND DRIED OUT. I GAVE THEM BACK SAYING I DIDN'T APPRECIATE THE SUBSTANDARD PANCAKES. (PREVIOUS VISIT PANCAKES WERE FANTASTIC) HAD TO ASK FOR EVERYTHING THIS TIME. THE WAITRESS WAS TERRIBLE. SHE WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TABLE NEXT TO US.
THE BEST PART (NOT) IS WHEN I PAID FOR THE MEAL WE HAD. THE MANAGER (I USE THAT TERM LOOSELY) ASKED ME IF EVERYTHING WAS OK AND I TOLD HER NO. EXPLAINED WHAT WENT TRANSPIRED AND SHE NEVER EVEN OFFERED ANY TYPE OF CONCESSION OR APOLOGY, THAT WAS ALL I WAS LOOKING FOR. INSTEAD, SHE WENT OFF ON A LOUD TIRADE THAT INCLUDED THE PHRASE, "YOUR JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, YOU WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING." THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED AT ALL. I AM IN THE AUTO SERVICE INDUSTRY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CUSTOMER INPUT SO THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON OUR SERVICE. CALLING THE POLICE ON ME, WHICH IS WHAT SHE STATED AND THAT SHE DIDN'T CARE IF I EVER CAME BACK BECAUSE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF BUSINESS IS POOR QUALITY IN ANY BOOK OF BUSINESS. I WASN'T LOUD OR CONDESCENDING. SHE HAS A LOT TO LEARN AND I TOLD HER THAT. YELLING AND SCREAMING IN A CUSTOMER'S FACE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE RETURN BUSINESS. AS WITNESSED BY THE PATRONS AROUND THE FRONT COUNTER WHO WERE WONDERING WHY SHE WAS YELLING AT ME. I HOPE IN THE FUTURE NO ONE ELSE IS TREATED THAT WAY.
SO, AT TONY'S DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING THEM KNOW ABOUT ANY SUD STANDARD SERVICE, OR YOU MAY GET THE SAME TREATMENT I DID AND I KNOW I SURELY DID NOT DESERVE IT!!!

I am a truck driver and I have been coming here 3-4 times a year for 25 years. It used to have a dirt lot next to it and I would eat like a horse and then sleep like a log before I turned around to head back south. Now I park on the blacktop and stagger back to my rig with a serious good food overload. Steak Sandwiches are great and the BLT is above and beyond the call of duty. I love this place and it almost feels like home for a while.

What can you say you have to go there to see what they have. Make the trip you will love it. Be hungry

I'm eating the BLT right now and my jaw is actually hurting from chewing through so much bacon. I love bacon. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong by loading a plate full of bacon while at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but at Tony's I'm guilt free.

Horrible. Told us to seat ourselves. Waited 10 minutes & never got waited on. Three waitresses were sitting in booth in corner talking.Never acknowledged us. Tried to get their attention. Nothing. Until we walked out past their table. Told them we're leaving cuz no one waited on us.
Jerks!!

This is one of my most favorite places to eat! All of you who don't like what they do then don't go there and all the waste!..... I take that food home and eat it later when I roll up a fatty and get blazed...man. Tony that food is good homie!

Love this place. .been going there since I was a kid. We always have food left over even when I share with the kids.. but we take what we can home. I know there are the people that say there is a lot wasted.. but I thought I had heard years ago that that scrap food was given to local pig farmers.. that may not be correct but it seems like after walking by the back room once they did have large barrels separating out the food from the actual trash. If they do.. great.. if they don't.. they should! :)

Just ate there today. The place was extremely busy and we had a party of 13. Amazingly we were seated quickly, orders taken promptly and food delivered incredibly fast. The quality was good on our food. I had the egg, toast, bacon, hashbrown breakfast, it was huge and good. My daughter and her friend shared the BLT with the one pound of bacon. They loved it. My son had the Reuben Sandwich and again huge and delicious. Took two take out boxes with us when we left. Overall a very good dining experience.

My husband and I go to Frankenmuth every year for our anniversary and we always make it a point to eat at Tony's during our stay. We love the food and the atmosphere. We've had great dining experiences over the past 10 years.

This was a gross experience for me. Their BLT = the perfect example of "quantity over quality."
Granted, there is a lot of it, but the bacon is mostly fat & grease. And when the BLT cools down, it's more like a 1 lb. lard sandwich with wilted lettuce.
They brag that they go through 10,000 lbs of bacon a week!
Gee, makes you wonder how many pigs are slaughtered for a days worth of BLTs at Tony's?

The food was good. The bread was a little to greasy for my taste, but our waitress was horrible. She was rude and disrespectful sticking her finger in the air to tell me to hold on. It took her over 20 minutes to get our order and then one of the girls in our party didn't even get her food until we were all done and ready to leave. My father had to finally get up and get us more water on his own because she kept telling us to hold on. I will not ever eat there again no matter how good the food was.

I ordered the Kibber Special - corned beef, Italian bread, and pizza Cheese. Delicious!
Right off I-75. A little pricey, but hey, the portions are HUGE. Make sure you take home a menu!

Wow, just saw the amazing portion not controlled restaurant on the Food Channel. I visited about 3 months ago and the food was spectacular. Talk about no limits to portions. Great customer service and excellent comfort food. Thanx Tony Benigna Marko

this was the most fun I ever had at a restaurant it will be something I will never forget... If your ever that way this is a MUST STOP....

First time eating at Tony's and it was better than i expected. My mother and I were in shock when our food came out what seemed less that 5 minutes after we ordered it. I got a BBQ sandwich and she got a Reuben, both were big and very delicious. After cleaning my plate i decided i wanted some dessert. After seeing the banana split on the travel channel i thought i'd go for that. I tell the waiter i was considering it and he recommended that i get the peanut butter pie instead. The pie was half the price of the banana split. I was very pleased to know that they care about you having a good meal and aren't in it for the money. Top 10 restaurant i've been at. Going back for the banana split soon!

Excellent...alot of fun. Heard about it on the Travel channel. I only live about 40 minutes away and have never heard of it. All the people on here crying about the portions being too big are morons...thats the whole point of the restaurant and that is what makes Tony's stand out! The BLT is great, and it is just a blast! Would recommend to anyone. By the way, the bacon is always cooked just perfect...

What a great experience. Service was fast and efficient. The food was most excellent and the prices were sooo reasonable. Well worth our drive over. Would do it again. Had the big BLT and a Rueben. Great great food and service.

A little expensive but great food and friendly service.

I have the very 'best' memories at Tony's! My family and I have been going there ever since I was a little girl. To anyone who would argue that the portions are too big: Quit whining about it and split a meal for crying out loud. What's the worst that's going to happen....You might take home a box of left-overs?
Hand's down.... Tony's Rocks!

You have to go to this resturaunt hungry and ready for a novel experience. One dinner fed me and my daughter two meals. It's really fun watching the plates of food come out of the kitchen. Massive amounts!

I had the BLT - the ONE POUND of bacon was not cooked all the way - gross. Heart attack on a plate - enough said!

You all are dilusional to think this is "good" food. It is simply "large amounts of food" and a novelty. This is the worst restaurant I have ever gone to in my life. Disgusting

Top of the line. I truly enjoyed it. It was my first time and now there will be many more to come. THANK YOU.....joe

This place rocks I wish I could give it 500 sars but no only 5 lol bacon rocks!!

The food is not that good — just big portions. Tony’s exemplifies everything that’s wrong with America—WASTE!!!. Next time, check out the bus boy’s cart. You will see how much food will be thrown out. It’s very sad.

I Love Tonys. I have been going there since I was a child, I remember wishing that we (a family of 5) could share a Banana Split, but we never had room for desert after the giant meals that we had eaten. One day I will go there just to have the Banana Split.

This is the third time i have been to Tonys and have never found fault with anything there its a great place to eat if your hungry that is lol wow the food they dish up.
Jim-The-Truck from the uk
p.s Wish we had a place like this in the uk

WONDERFUL!! Great place for breakfast!

i love Ton'y i hadn'y been in 18 years

This place exemplifies everything that’s wrong about America: Waste! It’s shameful to see how much food gets tossed out. Why would anyone need a pound of bacon on their BLT? Is this value or gluttony? So many poor families I see. So much need.

Instead of a buffet restaurant, go to Tony's.
You'll get more and pay less and come away stuffed.

My husband and I had dinner at Tony's in June of 2006. The food was delicious and such enormous portions. If you are anywhere in the area of Birch Run, you have to go eat at Tony's.

If you are anywhere in the Birch Run,MI area; and you have never experienced Tonys; this is a must stop.
Portions are legendary,quality of the food is excellent, and you will be flabbergasted.
Breakfast isthe best of the day.
BLT sandwiches are incredible.
As long as your expectations ar not too high; you will go home with an unforgettable memory !

Every thing you've ever heard about Tony's is true. The absolutely huge servings...mounds of bacon...piles of sausage...and the long lines outside the door, people just waiting to get in...and the food is good. Talk about value!! You might want to share a breakfast, though.
