    Meat lovers skillet with toast
    Donna B.

    First time dining here based on a recommendation by a friend. They're a very popular place because the parking lot was very full. Quite busy inside, but we were seated quickly. Our server was very nice and took our orders; I ordered the meat lovers skillet while my partner ordered the Hawaiian omelette with hash browns. We both got the toast with our meals. These dining area was nice and spacious and clean. Our food arrived quickly and it was very delicious. Personally I felt my skillet needed a little extra seasoning, I'm not one to add extra salt to my food, but I felt it needed some help. We both enjoyed our meals and would come back again.

    This is our first time visiting Tony's Diner, though we have passed it many times since moving to Bloomington last month. We were very happy that we did. I had the Cod Sandwich with Fries And my wife chose the Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes. Both were delicious. Our server provided a great experience she was both friendly and very efficient.

    Average diner food. The gyro skillet was fine. The biscuits and gravy was a powder pack mix. The Hollandaise sauce was a powder pack mix with too much lemon. The bacon was under done so you need to definitely ask for it well done. The pancake was good. The coffee was fine.

    Nice diner atmosphere, exactly what I wanted. Salad wouldn't order again, instead Id go with the soup. Was looking for a light meal.... Didnt get that, not a bad thing tho, tasted good and hope to make it back in the future.

    Went to breakfast here with Jr. The place was packed. Always a good sign. I ordered a waffle combo. Jr ordered a gyro omelette. We really enjoyed it. Yummy! Our server was pleasant and quick. We will be back!

    Great and friendly service and good food, what else can you ask for. The restaurant is bigger on the inside than you would think and very clean. The deluxe meal comes with fries and a cup of soup. I got the cream of cabbage soup and my partner got the other soup of the day which was beef barley. They both were served hot and tasted delicious! The pizza burger was big and tasty and so was the turkey triple decker club. I love fries with a coating like these had. They have Pepsi products which is great with me. I am glad the waitress asked about refills a lot because it is $2.99 for a drink. The prices are right in line with every other restaurant and diner like this one. The menu is huge and there is lots to chose from. I highly recommend trying this place out!

    The food is very good and the service is excellent. It does get a little noisy when the place is full, so it can be hard to visit.

Next time you consider going out for a meal or don't feel like cooking, come here. Don't go to the big chains, the food, service and quality overall are so much better with Wesley!

    Worth the wait?! First any potential patrons need to understand two things going In, one, except…read morefor pop/bottled water, we're talking a BYO liquor situation. Thing #2, this is a ONE-MAN OPERATION. Yup, he's the waiter, the prep-cook, the chef, the front-end manager AND the 'cashier'. At least that's the deal on Thursdays when we typically go. Ultimately, the first point works in your favor, cuz with a little forethought, a small cooler and your favorite beverage, you will likely save you and yours at least $10. As for the second premise, our suggestion is to ask for timeframes early and often...then get comfy and DOUBLE those estimates. Hopefully your company (and/or your phone) will make the time disappear without notice, because it'll honnestly be a bit. Wes is a very busy man...and he tends to tell you what you wanna hear - the only things actually preventing a fifth Yelp star. Just know that the chances are quite good that it will have been well worth the wait. Mac-N-Cheese, killer. Steaks, juicily executed extremely well. Combinations of proteins always seem to mesh well, even in something as simple as a wrap. And just when you think you understand what it is that he does really well, he throws a chicken and waffle dish that blows away anything else in town, possibly any other such attempt at this iconic southern dish. (Pro tip, try a side of jerk sauce or BYO Tobasco.) Perhaps he has assistance on the weekends - one would hope so anyway, but this place definitely makes us appreciate hard work, good times and outstanding cooking. Great take out game too!

We had to ask for extra sauce, and they were missing the sour cream that was shown in the menu picture. The portions were also very small for the price. The service was extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes before our server came to take our drink orders, and our food took a long time to arrive. We also had issues with a coupon that wouldn't scan. The server had to get the manager, who said she couldn't honor it because it was " old and too big of a discount" even though it was on the app and only offered us $2 off instead. We also had a $5 gift card that was forgotten when the bill was brought out, and we had to ask for the manager again to have it corrected. Overall, this was a frustrating experience with slow service, disappointing food, and unnecessary issues at checkout. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to the experiences we've had here in the past. And people came in way after us and left way before us so we don't know why they were not taking care of our table.

The biggest downside is probly the ambiance, which is more on the noisy side based on it being a pretty large place these days and still pretty popular. I can't comment on lunch or dinner because we've never tried it, but the place prized brunch spot mostly by folks middle-aged and up (with more families/kids on the weekends) for its all-around consistency.
