I've been here multiple times, and today I saw something new on the menu - the same food but in smaller portions. I was so excited because, if you've never been to Toney's, you know the portions for Italian food are huge and always leave leftovers. For me, that gets wasted. So, I got the chicken Alfredo small portions for $9.50, and my boyfriend got spaghetti and meatballs with extra meatballs for, I believe, $15. We were both disappointed. He's gotten this exact order multiple times, but this time they reduced the spaghetti amount when he asked for extra meatballs, so he was able to eat everything when he normally has leftovers. Mine was a child's portion of food - no joke; it took me 7 bites to eat. I had to look at the menu again to make sure I didn't order off the children's menu. read more

Decent food at good prices. Server was a sweet heart. However the restrooms were not very clean and the whole restaurant could use a good cleaning and paint job. read more

Food was exceptionally tasty. Service was great. Friendly staff. Older restaurant but don't let that fool you. I had the gyro salad and my husband had the grilled chicken sandwich. We will definitely come again. HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSING!!! read more

Not anything spectacular. Tried it on our Greenville trip, we stayed in Pickens. Wasn't bad but just not what we were hoping for.

First time at Tony's tonight. Not a fancy place, but the food was really good! I had spaghetti and meatballs. The meat sauce was absolutely delicious, obviously homemade. My wife had the Greek salad and a side of meatballs. She really enjoyed it. We have enough left for lunch tomorrow. The service was great (Heather) and the food came without delay. My wife doesn't eat gluten, so we wish they had gluten free pasta. We will be back! read more

This is a bit of hole in the wall, possibly family owned. Husband ordered the special, chicken fried steak, w/ two sides, he chose Mac n cheese, and mash potatoes. He ate it all and Loved it. Friend got the Italian sandwich and loved it. I ordered the other special, spaghetti with meat sauce. Again, very good. read more

Perfect sconces and stained-glass lamps. The "Tony Facts" written on the whiteboard expanded my mind and make me feel more prepared for the rest of my life. I feel a certain connection to this Tony, now, and can only dream of meeting him. To the waitress with dark hair and bangs: you rock, you're perfect, women should never apologize. Also the food was good read more

Food was good. Service was okay. Waiter needed deodorant (sorry but it was a distraction). Will go again.

Rude customer service, as if they could care less that if you showed up at the door. Food is subpar and what is supposedly freshly made comes to the table frozen on the inside. I guess they didn't nuke it enough. read more

ordered a large veggie pizza is the oddest veggie pizza I've ever seen. Had to look for the vegetables because there was next to none. I'll be like black olives you go home happy because there must've been 30-40 whole olives on this pizza. There were couple young men at least if not more working that night. They did more talking then work. OK I can understand young boys want to talk to each other but Service should come first. And please someone clean that bathroom it was disgusting and I'm not talking about fresh dirt. Regretfully will not be back. read more

Tony's has many very good Italian dishes, but I just had their 10" pizza for $10 and I just want to say that the pizza is awesome and the price is right! I personally like the pepperoni but I understand that their specialty is the pizza with everything on it. Thanks Tony's for a great "go to" pizza and serving the beer really cold. read more

When we visit family in Pickens , Tony's is a must! Their chicken parm has been a favorit, but this time we tried several other dishes. All were delicious! Veal parm, eggplant parm and chicken Alfredo were as good as their chicken parm. We will continue to keep Tony's as a must on our visits. read more

Awful food but created a lifelong funny memory. My cousin: what wines do you have? Waitress: well we have Red and Clear. Hahahahaha read more

The food is ok, nothing special. It is overpriced and they charge 3% for using a debit card. Tables were sticky and bathroom needs a major update. Waiter was nice but guy at the register had no personality and came off rude. read more

One bite everybody knows the rules! Little flop, greasy, salty, good undercarriage, but no crisp except for the end crust. 5.9. read more

Older place but very nice people and a great cheeseburger sub! When in Pickens worth a shot.

Horrible service horrible food. Will NEVER go back to this place. I'm hoping none of us get sick. Cashier was handling registrar and cheesecake with his bare hands. Bread was just bread and butter. No garlic. Antipasto salad was crap. No salami, no Pepperoni or pepperchini. No one looks like they want to be there. As for the lasagna Stouffer's would have been way better and cheaper!! There's was greasy and sloppy. Didn't even taste like lasagna. SAVE YOUR MONEY!! DO NOT GO HERE!! Don't know if state has mandate for food preparation but no one was wearing a mask or gloves. Including the cooks. So disappointed. . Only have it a star cuz I had to. read more

A-ok for now. Old and dingy dining area. 10-15 years ago this place was top notch. Gradual decline over time I guess. Great Chicken Parm sub! read more

Stopped in spur of the moment driving through, chicken parm is frozen chicken tenders covered in sauce and cheese so much as to disguise what it really is. My sons water had a termite in the ice (unfortunately for them my husband is in pest control so no doubt what it was). Menu is basic and meatballs are so soaked in grease that you almost can't tell what it is supposed to be. Absolutely avoid this place read more

Tony's Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

See all

The Place Tony's Restaurant is located at 704 W Main St, Pickens, SC. This restaurant is dated by appears clean and has adequate table and booth seating. The Menu The menu had many choices from which to choose. Sub sandwiches, burgers, chicken options, and Italian mainstay offerings. We ordered Chicken Marsala, Salad entree, and a side order of onion rings. We were disappointed to say the least. The sliced cheese for the salad was a 1/4" thick... seriously. The Chicken Marsala was not good. The noodles were cold the chicken luke warm and chewy and the sauce blan. The onion rings must have be made ahead of time because they were cold and soggy. The Experience/Value/Service Our service was very quick and and our server checked on us frequently. The prices were high for the quality and presentation of the food. This is not an experience I can recommend. read more

Service was spectacular, the environment was welcoming and friendly. I got a philly cheese steak sub and fries, the meat was cooked to perfection and the fries were actually fried and not made in an oven. It was a bit greasy but overall I would recommend. I only give it 4/5 because the men's bathroom smells like a men's locker room paired with hints of mold. read more

Spent $75 dollars to feed our family here, got a to-go order and received the wrong food. When we got home and discovered this we called (slightly after they closed) to see if they would make it right. Immediately on the phone we were not-so-happily greeted with an angry teen boy telling us he there was nothing that could be done and yelling at my mother saying he wouldn't do anything to fix it. Another boy proceeded to take the phone and tell us that he would fix it tomorrow. My father asked who was yelling at my mother and the boy suddenly started yelling that he was going to call the police saying that my father was threatening him. So today I (the daughter) called the store back because my mother didn't want to bother with it. I was *extremely* nice on the phone with the boy that answered and kindly asked for a member of management. I then proceeded to explain to the member of "management" the issue and he took my mothers number, said he was actually a waiter, and said that Tony (the owner) would contact her in regards to what would happen with our never received order. He claimed that he could do nothing to make it right, and hung up. No biggie! We figured Tony would be in touch, but no. Ten minutes later I received a very angry call from, who would have guessed, the young man, and yet again he was enraged and claiming he was going to call the police and give them my number for harassment if I ever contact the store again. To conclude, my family will no longer fund this business because as a 21 year old that's worked in food service and customer service since I was 16, this behavior is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! read more

Went there Sunday night. It was delicious!!!! Best Italian dressing I have ever had and pizza was great. All food is fresh from freshly grated cheese to meats!!! read more

Tony's rocks my socks. If you don't like their Lasagna or Spaghetti, then you need to contact a transplant surgeon and get your taste buds swapped out for some properly functioning ones. read more

Called in for a cheeseburger plate to go. It was ready when I picked it up and very good when I ate it. The meat was a huge hand pattied burger with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Plenty of home style fries and coleslaw also. read more

If there was a way to rate zero stars I would. Extremely over priced for the quality. Horrible customer service. read more

Tony's Restaurant - Chicken Marsala that looked and tasted literally just like dog food. - Italian Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

This resteraunt is great. The service is good And the food is delicious. The waiter was very accommodating with me even when I asked a stupid question. read more

Food is great but they keep going up on their prices. Not a regular increase periodically to keep up with inflation but cutting portions in half and doubling prices. Again the food is good but you just can't enjoy it due to feeling ripped off by the owner. I have been eating here for almost 30 years but had to mark them off my list as it is just not worth the money anymore. Pickens lost another decent restaurant. Easley, here we come! read more

Service here is lacking. Had to ask another waitress for service since our waiter was not actively taking care of us. Food was okay but nothing special. read more

Best Italian food I've ever had. I personally recommend the subs, and the pizza is exquisite. All of the servers and staff are always friendly and helpful. Love the food, and love to eat with friends. Nobody does it better than Tony's! read more

This is a rundown restaurant. The service was great but the food was average at best. I went because locals said it was great, so much for advise from locals. read more

We stopped in, spur of the moment, for lunch. Great service! The chicken parmesan was delicious. The greek salad was yummy as well. The wings were good (on the spicy side). We will come again next time we're in Pickens at noon. read more

I Love their pizza, but had the lasagna last time..I was told it was his Mama's recipe....WONDROUS! Had to take some home, since the portion was so ample...enough for TWO people, actually. Even re-heated, it make a yummy late-night snack! Mr. Tone recently finished a re-model of the interior/exterior. LOOKS GREAT!...But if you're used to "chain-restaurant-designs, instead of hand-painted murals and quaint chandeliers, you can keep it all...Just a lovely little Italian(Sicilian, actually) bistro with unpretentious but absolutely DELICIOUS food, is all that you'll get here! They must be doing SOMETHING right, they've been here for 'bout thirty years! TCH read more

Great prices and great food. Yesterday my boyfriend wanted to take me to this restaurant. He's lived near it for a long time and has told me about it a few times and wanted to take me. The reviews people have given it are pretty bad so I was a little worried but I didn't question him since I've heard him say it's great more than once. It is a nice casual place to eat not fancy but nice. I got the chicken parm. It was a huge serving and I got to have it for lunch again today. I think this is the only place I've been where I never had to worry about having my tea refilled. Great service! Great food! Great prices! read more

Food is ok. For the most part service is ok. However check your bill...they charged for water. Now I can see if someone comes in and just orders water but to charge for it with a meal??? Not to mention they never brought me the lemon I ordered with it. So again not a bad place but I'm not going to a place that is so cheap they charge for water. What else are they nickel and diming on? OH and they don't put the prices on your check so watch closely when you're checked out. That's how I found out about the water. read more

Being one of the locals I don't think other reviews hardly sniffed the magnificent food from Tonys. It is very yummy very cozy and I've enjoyed it for many years. read more

My family and I used to eat at Tonys at least one a week, sometimes multiple times a week, but we havent been there since the renovations have been done. We will not go back anymore! Since the renovations, they have gone up on all their prices! The food isn't worth the money they ask! Prices now (with coupon) are still more expensive than the regular price it used to be! This place used to be a great place to get a good meal at a great price, now I feel that I'm being shafted for the price of renovations! read more

This was the worst experience ever in a restaurant. We asked for our sub to have no mayo or tomatoes. It came fully loaded and the waitress didn't care. Our salad had RAW meat in it. The waitress did take it back and took off the bill but the rest of the party had finished eating before the new salad arrived. So we got it to go. When we went to pay the bill they told us that since we got a new salad we needed to pay for it. In the end we didn't pay for it but we will never go back. read more
