Great service - Alexa was great. They have a nice menu. I got 2 hot dogs and fries. Not a fan of the Clevelander , but that's just me, i don't really like chili dogs but i gave it a shot. The manhattan was really good though. I'd probably get the hot dogs fried next time instead of boiled because the buns got a little soggy. Just a recommendation but not at all a big deal. They have a really great drink menu as well. I'll definitely be back I really wish they had a Chicago-style dog though! read more

The food was good. The fry's and the house chips were great. The service was ok. I never got offered a refill. The atmosphere was bar like and loud. All in all it was ok read more

My family and I went into the bar area of Tony's. Alicia the bartender told us to be ready when she came back to order. One of us said " that's not how you talk to customers." She took our drinks poured them out and told us to leave, refusing to serve us. " Just another random act of racism." We were the only black people in the restaurant. So, The understaffed restaurant and the overwhelmed bartender need to understand that money has no color. The owner needs to determine what do they want the face of his/her restaurant to show!!! read more

So sad to see that the "new" menu here doesn't include what made this place amazing: a decent plain dog that I get to top. It's now just another place in Sandusky to get hammered and get generic food. My cheesesteak today was unremarkable in every way. (except that it was wierdly broiled...) The fries and service were excellent as usual so, one star. You'll get better stuff just down the way at Oh Taco, or Daly's. If you want a dog with a cacaphony of toppings they likely will be able to meet your needs. For me, I don't need to go back until I can get a New Yorker plain. Your mileage may vary. read more

We originally sat at the bar and were greeted by a great bartender named, Mason. However, we were treated very poorly by the bartender Tony. Mason brought us our food refilled our water promptly and was a great server. The hot dog was underwhelming as well as cold and our food was taken from our table before it was finished. I would not recommend this establishment despite Mason being fantastic. read more

I am sadly disappointed as I wait and wait to be waited upon. Bartender yelled from bar "What do you want?" Asked for 2 bloody Mary's and they were just ok garnished w lemons and limes. Waited forever for the second drink. Put empty cups at the end of our table... nothing. Finally made eye contact w/ what seemed to be her boyfriend. She again yelled "What do you want?" We ordered food yelling to the bartender. She was not that busy! I think it was her social hour. I will rethink the outside bar. read more

New interior and exterior patio dug out bar - fun clean awesome stop just off the Sandusky park and pier.

Good cheesesteaks good service nice place it was a good replacement for a place that was closed that day that we usually go to

I'm giving a two star review as the people who I assumed worked there when we walked up to the building were very friendly. We had a large group of 9 people, which we called ahead a couple hours prior to let them know and they were happy to serve us at that time. When we arrived we were seated, but not even given menus for 30 minutes. We didn't even see our server. Finally she came around, handed us menus and told us there were no chicken wings and no food to serve in general besides fried food. I tried to ask what she meant by that but she walked away and we didn't see her again for another ten minutes, or anyone for that matter. We ended up just getting up and leaving. It was strange as other groups next to us had regular food, so I'm not sure what was going on with that. I was really excited to try this place as it seemed super unique! I would like to try them again once I'm back in Sandusky, and hopefully they will have food then and I can update my review! read more

Didn't get my drink for 30 minutes Couldn't give it a 0 star so I had to give it a 1 star unfortunately Still haven't got it I left before I got it I'm at home now Still no drink Horrible business Never going to in the future Actually I'll rate it a 2 cause I'm nice Edit: UPDATE drinks came read more

My dad is a burger and fries kind of guy. So finding new places that he hasn't been to in the area is hard. So we decided to try a hot dog place for the rest of us and it did not disappoint! We started with the pretzel bites and they were amazing! Great honey mustard sauce. My mom and sis got the kielbasa and crout which they said was delicious and had great sour crout. I had the smoke house dog which holy cow was that loaded and delicious! Lots the BBQ and the dog was wrapped in bacon and cover in Gouda cheese. Also the onion rings are worth the upcharge and I don't know what the sauce is that comes with it but it's amazing! Kind of a mild blooming onion sauce. Highly recommend! read more

This review is for lunch. I stopped in for lunch mid-week... HD stands for Hot Dog and, as Anthony Bourdain once said, "you gotta love meat in tube form." Tony's is basically a sports bar that features a variety of tubular meats. I had the New York style dogs. They were tasty with a satisfying snap as I bit into them. All the goodness of a NYC hot dog cart without wondering how long they've been in that cart. I've visited Gray's Papaya in Manhattan and think the dogs at Tony's are just as good. Tony doesn't have all the options you get at Gray's but the quality is there. read more

Just happened across this place and am so glad we did. Superb service from the bartender and simply amazing food. The onion rings were some of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend let me try his bratwurst, very yummy!! Loved the perfect fries!! The pulled bbq pork sandwich definitely passed this Texas girls palate! You must stop in and try it. read more

I'd love to be able to provide a review of the food, but the server was so rude we didn't even bother getting a table. It was lunchtime on Sunday of Labor Day weekend and downtown Sandusky was buzzing. Every restaurant had long waits for tables and for food. We walked into Hot Dog Tony's and saw that there was MAYBE 2 or 3 people working the entire place. There were only a few occupied tables, but they were all covered in food and empty plates. Maybe their bussers called off? Before I could even say a word, a waitress shouted to us 'If you want a table, there's going to be a wait'. I was so shocked at how rude this was. No greeting, no empathy, nothing. Without saying a word to her, we turned around and spent our money elsewhere. read more

5 people inside and waitress didnt even come around to use,,, very slow we left and went to margariville and loved it

Nice redo, and super new varied menu, instead of just the fried food of before. Lovely outdoor bar & dining area close to Lake Erie - will go there again, preferably outside when the weather warms up. For now, the indoors is just fine read more

Very good food, great service and a decent beer selection. Had an interesting conversation with the manager about how they like to get in unique beer selections and how they work with breweries and distributors to get excludive "one offs" and experimental selections. Cool place, I will definitely go again when I'm back in town. read more

Great dog, awesome fries. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Clean restaurant. Large beer selection and menu has something on it for most everyone, even the carb conscious. Mixed drink was well made, Ketel One and soda (he didn't know what seltzer was, but that may be regional). read more

Food was FANTASTIC. Incredibly cheap for the quality. The bar was super clean and the restrooms were just as clean. Service was great. Excellent bartenders. Very chill environment. If I didn't live 4 hours away I would go here every night. I'm not sure how they only have 3 stars on yelp but this place is a 10/10. read more

Had a nice time good food drinks I actually have the chicken wings onion rings and the chicken bites were amazing One long island iced tea and one IPA draft beer. Next time I think I'll go with a hotdog and fries places really good friendly atmosphere. read more

Stopped in for a drink and a hot dog. Was not disappointed. I love hot dogs and ordered a basic cart dog with a few toppings. The bun was really solid. Worked well for toppings. The dog itself was well flavored and delicious. Definitely will be back. read more

I've been going in here on the regular since they opened and am happy to say that they've really locked it down. It's been open for a few months now and the kitchen is putting out consistent, delicious food. The beer selection rivals any cooler in town so there's a little something for every palette. And if you have trouble deciding, the bartender is more than happy to make a couple recommendations. They recently introduced a pretty slamming happy hour and I highly recommend the pulled pork nachos. read more

It's currently about 3 PM on a Sunday with a couple tables full of people with an empty bar. I'm just back in area so wife can attend baby shower, and I needed a place to eat while I waited. I stood at bar for couple of minutes while bartender and 2 other employees looked at me then proceeded to either talk to one another or roll silverware into napkins. I ended up leaving because it was so awkward and pathetic they there was literally nothing to rate. At least it's nice so maybe the next restaurant will be better after this place goes out of business. read more

Just stopped in for a quick beer, waiter was nice and friendly, drinks were good, it was not busy, can't rate the food, but I was happy.

I had 2 brats and frys which were alright but compared to Bratwurst LTD they were just average.The beer selection was decent with Great Lakes and Thirsty Dog on tap splashed with some good domestics.The service was decent and the TV's were playing several good ball games.I will make a better star rating after a few visits but now i'm going with 3. read more

Came here for drinks and a bite with my parents. Love the way it looks - great interior, and clean - which is awesome. Located on Water Street, the central point of all the fun in Sandusky - you are right by the water and all of the downtown bars within walking distance. Parking is in a free lot across the street (behind the State), or if you're lucky, you can score a spot right out in front. Original menu, lots of options when it comes to alcohol. Try the reuben dip for an appetizer. read more

My husband and I went here while visiting family in Sandusky. The perch sandwich and the perch dinner were amazing. The service was amazing, efficient, quick and polite. The scallops were amazing, as well and they have a decent selection of beers and ciders to choose from. If I had more time in Sandusky I'd definitely come here again. read more

Friggin delicious. Excellent service and prices. Their fresh cut fries are what dreams are made of.

The pulled pork nachos are TO DIE FOR. Yes, the hot dogs are overpriced, but it's a restaurant! I like that you can get a hotdog wrapped in a low-carb wrap and that they have green beans instead of fries (yum!). The green beans are awesome. They always have a great beer selection on tap (Great Lakes and IPA's) and will let you try them for free! There is never anybody in the restaurant- I think they may need to have some better advertised weekly specials and I would become a weekly visitor. read more

Remodel looks great!, Wait staff busting there butts, place was packed. Waited along time for food, burger came out burnt, dry, fries were cold. will try again because I've been there before and had no issues. read more

Wow the people singing last night SUCK. Well if they are there again we will keep going. Oh and your waitstaff you need more it took 15 minutes to come to our table and then 30 more minutes for her to take our order. We could of walked out the door with out paying but my husband was nice and went looking for her. So you had us there once and we won't be back again read more

Fun place near the lake. Good kids menu, hot dogs and fried pickles are great. Service is attentive and friendly. The server offered a sample of beer when trying to decide. I do not recommend the French fries. Everything else was amazing. We went between lunch and dinner on a Monday. Not super crowded, but still had many customers. read more

H D Tony's - Hot Dogs Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

The first time we went to HT it was delicious, fast service, perfect. Two weeks ago we had a VERY bad experience. It took almost 40 minutes to get a couple of hamburgers. When they arrived, the meat in mine was rancid (YES, RANCID!) and the fries soggy, so I just returned it and asked for the bill. It took a long time to get the bill, then more wait for it to return to be signed. The poor waitress did her best, told us the burger had been taken off the bill, that the manager was coming to talk to us; never saw the manager! I guess he was too busy chatting with the aimless guys at the kitchen... (Every time we looked into the kitchen window, there were three or four guys just grinning at each other, doing absolutely nothing; so, I guess it was not a problem of being short-staffed!) The result is that we will never go back there and won't recommend them. read more

Value for the money is not good. It's the kind of place you go to one time and don't go back. Hot Dogs were good however there were three of us and the bill with tip was 80.00. They really sock it to you on drinks. read more

Great drinks and chili is pretty awesome. Live bands are really a gem for this location such a cute, lively place to be.

No one greeted us, we stood at the front waiting to be seated, that never happend, we sat ourselves, 15min and no one ever came by. At least 5 or so employees were in the back goofing off. Walked out without ever been seen, or acknowledged. Pathetic. read more

I really like H D Tony's food, and it's a very nice local bar, but the service is consistantly bad. Don't get me wrong, they're very friendly when they talk to you, but the bartenders tend to be very slow and disorganized. I never been shown a draft beer menu or a cocktail menu in the dozen times I've been there, and they've never once asked me if I wanted a second drink, even while sitting at the bar. They just let you finish eating without checking on you at all, and then bring you the check. The bar is two-sided, and the bartenders will literally hide on the other side and talk to each other and just completely ignore you from the time your food arrives to the time that they bring you the check. It would be nice to be able to order a second drink, but I don't want to have to get up and walk over to them or yell across the room to get their attention, because I find that to be rude. Overall, their food is great and at a very cheap price point, and the bar itself is very nice, so I will continue to visit, but the bartender issue really needs to be addressed. read more
