Definitely a tourist trap. Way too busy, too crowded and WAY too expensive!!! We got a Tony Burger and a Chicken Caesar Wrap (with a random $2 misc charge?) for $37.19. The staff is very young and upbeat and friendly. The wait was SO long I ran in with all of our empty bottle and refilled waters so that was a plus. But for these prices we should have sat down for a nice lunch elsewhere. read more

There are limited options on island for dining but we were happy to have found this spot to grab some lunch during our brief visit to the island. I was hopeful that they had something more than just burgers and pizza and was glad when I found a chicken caesar on their menu. The chicken caesar had a plentiful amount of chicken and the greens were super fresh and crisp. It's an order at the counter and then go grab your order when ready sort of situation. They have an indoor dining area as well as some lovely tables outside. Once you've enjoyed your lunch, they also have ice cream. When we went back to order some ice cream the line was pretty long. Not to worry, though, they get you through quickly! Get to it! read more

My girlfriend and I went to Madeline Island for a weekend getaway. The first time we stopped at Grampa Tony's, we were immediately greeted by Grampa Tony himself, who took some time to chat with us and gave us recommendations about places to go and things to see around the island. The rest of the staff was amazingly pleasant as well! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We got a cheese pizza, garlic bread, and finished the night with ice cream! Everything was very taste and fresh! The restaurant is a cute spot and has outdoor seating, indoor seating, and a little gift shop as well. If you ever get the chance to go to Madeline Island make sure you stop by Grampa Tony's! read more

Waited over an hour for food I ordered at the counter. Pizza came out like warm to cold. Fries were room temperature. Chicken tenders were warm and good. Beers were cold. Cafeteria seating that you seat yourself. But I guess better then Beach Club b across the street that just barked that their kitchen is closed 2-4pm on Saturday afternoon. read more

Too expensive. Not a restaurant but a fast food eatery. Go across the street to the Beach Club

This is a sweet spot to sit outside on the rooftop terrace, people watching and generally taking a break from walking around the island.. The highlight of my experience however, was a sumptuous, thin-crust and perfectly made gluten-free pizza, which I so hard to find. To make matters better, their chicken tenders are also gluten-free and absolutely delicious Definitely a pleasant surprise read more

I have been going to Grandpa Toney's since it opened when I was a child. Year after year it has delivered great food and service. This family run business is a great part of spending time in Madeline Island. read more

Staff were super friendly and the rooftop patio was great! Pizza and caesar salad were both good. No frills kinda place and a great stop for us! read more

Grampa Tony's - Pizza and Caesar salad - New American Near Me - La Pointe, Wisconsin

Seems like there is not waiter/waitress/table service on Madeline Island. This restaurant has pizza and ice cream. There are specialty pizzas, but you cannot add anything onto the specialty pizzas without substantial up charges. Our pizza went from $12 to around $20 when we asked to add more toppings. The pizza was pretty good. Beers are about $4.00/$4.75. The woman behind the counter had to get someone that was 18 to sell me beer. Teach them young! Ice cream was enjoyed by all. This place wins with the table version of slow Ms. PAC-Man. I had a ball showing my son how to play! read more

This hit the spot after a long day riding bikes around Madeline Island! We had pizza, BLT, and the garden salad. We were all satisfied with our food. The deck had a lot of tables that weren't bussed. Luckily there were only 3 of us so we moved the old dishes to the empty spot at the table. They also serve icecream but the line was long so we didn't get a chance to grab some as we needed to get back to our ferry! This hit read more

This is a cute place to stop on the islands for a traditional burger joint. My kids ate chicken tenders, and hamburgers. My husband had a burger and I had a veggie burger. Everything was good, not great, but expected from a order at the counter burger joint. Service was nice and friendly. We even stopped back later in the day for ice cream and a fruit cup. They were nice and let us fill our refillable water bottles. All of the employees wore masks and tried to be as safe as possible. No complaints except, when my daughter ordered a smoothie... it was only filled 3/4 of the way and there was a bubble lid which would make one think it should've /could've been filled beyond the rim of the cup. And the smoothie is more like an icee not sure there's any fruit in there. ...But when we returned for ice cream, the scoops were large and the ice cream tasty. read more

The BBQ Chicken Pizza was the best I have had! The sauce mixed with corn and onions on top was an excellent combination. Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks we're just average but still good. Pretty homey atmosphere with a great view next to the lake! Staff was very nice! read more

Grampa Tony's - BBQ Chicken Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks - New American Near Me - La Pointe, Wisconsin

Grandpa Tony's is a bright and cheery spot serving pizza, sandwiches, wraps and ice cream. Order and pay at the counter, grab a drink then head upstairs to the great patio overlooking the lake. They have a bunch of tables with big red umbrellas. You will get an oversized playing card for your "number" and they will bring the food up and yell out "queen of hearts!" (Soooo tempted to yell back "go fish!). When we were there for lunch, service was a tad leisurely but that was ok since it was such a beautiful day in the sun. Our group of 4 tried the BBQ chicken pizza, chicken Cesar wrap and a cheese, sausage green pepper pizza. Food was just ok -pizza was pretty average-but hey, there aren't too many options on the island so it might still be one of your best options, especially if you've got kids. read more

I'd really like to rate this place 3.5 stars. There are not a lot of options in La Point, and this seemed like the best of them tbh. It's counter service, but they bring your food to your table. The menu isn't large, but my husband and I both liked the BLTs we ordered. My parents ate breakfast here too, and my mom was impressed with her breakfast sandwich. My dad had one of the burgers which was almost $15, but mom said it was very large. I was most impressed with the array of ice cream options; I chose Pirates Booty and Caramel Collision. I think I preferred the latter. Maybe go here just for the ice cream if you need to! read more

Maybe it's the rain, maybe it's the only place open for food that day, maybe it's all the exertion from watching the hubs set up camp. Whatever it was, the food here really hit the spot. Plus the staff, who were all teens, were super nice. It reminded me of Save By The Bell when the gang had summer jobs at the beach. We had a meal of all carbs - garlic cheese bread, hot Italian beef sub, and a hot veggie sub. The garlic cheese bread came with a sealed plastic container of marinara. The Italian beef sub was packed with meat and came with a side of au jus. The veggie sub was delicious with a lot of olives - it reminded the husband of muffuletta. Portions were pretty sizeable which served us well as a midnight snack over the campfire. read more

Our sandwiches were absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! There are only a few restaurants on Madeline Island and this will hit the spot! read more

Stopped just for ice cream. Have a GF eater (Celiac) so they double checked the gluten ingredients for us and then without me asking, they offered to clean the scoop and get ice cream out of a fresh tub in the back. There weren't a ton of GF options but the fact they were so aware earns five stars from me! read more

Tasty pizza and beer on Madeleine Island served by friendly staff - nuff said! Outdoor dining is dog-friendly.

Great service, even better pizza! We weren't sure what to expect but everything was great. Highly recommended!

Sadly, a member of our group got a serious case of food poisoning here. The order desk team and wait staff were busy but polite. The atmosphere was casual and clean. read more

Pizza only. Not kid friendly. Not veteran friendly. Pushing politics above service. I'm guessing they'll put themselves out of business in no time. read more

They had so many interesting flavors of ice cream, it was hard to decide! But I did it, Ahahhaha don't worry. I got the amoretto and the staff was happy to help even in the heat with lots of customers. read more

Friendly, efficient service. Great menu. Fun, colorful Adirondack chairs out in the lawn. The Garlic Burger is a must. It's huge and delicious. My son and I were going to share it, so the kitchen went ahead and split it on two plates for us. Cedar Crest ice cream for dessert. They also had a wide variety of beverages, including beer and such. I'd definitely come back here. read more

Great pizza! Great wraps.....very busy. Very helpful staff, good beer selection and great cones. read more

Great icecream. Food is served in large portions, and tastes good! Prices are affordable. Only problem is the coffee. Please train your workers on how to make coffee!!!! This would be a 5 star place once they get their coffee together. All three coffees we ordered were bland, not even sweet for the lattes, and tasted like regular milk. Waiters/waitresses were great however. read more

With just a few restaurants open on Tuesday, 8/29, we decided to go to Grampa Tony's and sit on the outside deck for dinner since they had a gluten free 10" 3-topping pizza on the menu. I wasn't hungry so I just had a slice and my wife ate the rest. We eat GF pizzas about once a week so we've had both good and bad. This was one of the bad ones with a firm doughy crust that had no crispness or crunch, and the meat toppings were awful. We didn't have any bar drinks but their ice cream was decent. We both had stomach cramps that night that I would attribute to the pizza. We won't be back! read more

If there was a negative star, it would've been marked. The absolute worst experience I've ever had. We get take out for two pizzas, the 1st is half and half, the 2nd is also is half and half, get home the 1st is covered in jalapenos which was only supposed to be half and the 2nd is burnt on the top. So, call them and they'll remake the 1st one and we take the 2nd one back with us to show them it's burnt. Long story short, one of these cooks starts raising his voice and swearing at my wife, which I naturally take offense to and say something to the 20ish year old and then the owner comes out and starts raising his voice to the both of us, at this point I walk out of the restaurant and my wife keeps trying to explain to them the situation while the owner and the kid continue to have raised voices and telling her it's not their problem. Worst experience I've ever had at any of the great places on Madeline Island. I would recommend any restaurant or establishment on the Island considering we have a house up here and frequent quite often, except this place. read more

You have to take this place for what it is: a family restaurant in the middle of a small, laid-back tourist town. Emphasis on "laid-back." Most of the time nobody above the age of 18 is manning the front of the restaurant; whoever owns the place has absolutely no problem letting the kids take meal orders and hand out ice cream. If you're looking for more of a fancy dining experience, look down the street. I must say that if I'm ever going to eat here, I always get the Garlic Burger. It's seriously one of my favorite burgers. Two patties, plus lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and garlic sauce all between two pieces of garlic bread. It'll keep you satisfied for quite a while, especially if you and a friend grab a basket of crinkle-cut fries to go with that. read more

Growing up this is the place I remember coming to with my whole family whenever we were sailing. We would get pizza sometimes but I'd go for their ice cream every single day during vacation and get either the blue moon or the superman. This place will always be one of my absolute favorite memories and I hope that it never closes so that I can one day take my kids to try the silly ice cream flavors as well! read more

This place is very cute, has an amazing location, and I loved the seating! The pizza was very average, but the ice cream was delicious!

All I can say is that 50 cents for a mask is outrageous and I hope you go out of business

The restaurant is nice but old the icecream is amazing but the breakfast leaves something to be desired.over all just go for the icecream

Grampa Tony isn't great at running restaurants. They shut it down every hour and the pizza was mediocre. Thats probably due to the 12 year olds running it. Granpa Tony needs to wake up, get out of his office and run the restaurant. read more

We love getting ice cream here and have come for years. We were with a friend with a tree nut allergy and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating! The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant! Thank you team at Grandpa Tony's! read more

We just did pizza take out from here the other night - the service was really quick for a Friday night. I had friends in town who were very impressed the pizza was that good in such a small town! read more

great warm sandwiches for lunch. they start with great bread and fill with quality meats. The ice cream is also good, but that's a little easier to get right. read more

Ordered ice coffee and they didn't even fill up the cup even after I asked. $4 for an iced coffee that had 2 inches of space from the top. No thanks. Super disappointing. read more

Went to get ice cream after a great day on the island. Young high school and college students working there were very friendly. I was given my cone and was waiting for my last child to decide what to have. My cone was melting and so was my sons. One of the girls asked my son to put his mask up as he licked some of his dripping cone, at the same time I did the same thing but had held my mask up in front of me as I took a lick. I was instantly yelled at by an older woman standing in an office near by. She said put your mask up the girls shouldn't have to ask an adult more than once. Then she went into the office where a man was sitting and started to talk about me poorly as if I wasn't there. She just assumed I was already told to keep my mask on. I have no objections to wearing a mask and am not a person to be rude and disrespectful. I did let the girl who checked us out that I meant no disrespect. I know what it's like to work in a tourist area and know how some tourists can be at times, but this older woman should not assume that I was being disrespectful and was going against the mask rule. And by the way, ironically she did not have a mask on the entire time we were there. Being nice goes a long way especially if you are in the public eye. Not a good experience and next time I will go somewhere else for ice cream. read more

The staff is made up of the owner and her family as well as teenagers who live on the island all summer. They are friendly and nice and the service is great! The pizza crust is homemade and amazing! And the ice cream is also awesome!!! The best place on the island for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Great for families! read more

Beautiful location, we ate on the rooftop patio and the night was beautiful. The pizza was great, beer cold, and the ice cream was oh so good. It was their first day open after COVID. We were served by the great grandson on Tony! read more
