Customer Reviews

"Amazing atmosphere, great food and friendly service. I was especially impressed by the photos of the life of the founder of this cafe. A very cool place. I recommend it to everyone"

- Denis V.

"I can't say enough good things about this small bar. First of all the service was amazing, (Carey/Karie) quickly greeted us with a smile, and always made sure we were satisfied after every drink, he even suggested a pizza place within walking distance, and let us bring the pizza back to the bar. Over the time we were there he told us some of the history of the small town, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking to get away from the city, and want a more personal, and friendly environment. This is the place to go! Plus the drinks were made great, and reasonably priced. You're guaranteed to get your money worth. 5-Stars from us!"

"We rolled into Tony's for late lunch while going for a cruise on the river. The bar was busy with a large tribe of jovial characters. We were lucky to be alone in the dining room and Sunny let us have our boxer (dog) hang out under our table. We proceeded to have the best steak and French dip and sandwich we had in a very long time. Our lunch came hot and excellent. Really tasty. We'll be back soon ! Cher & Bill"

"part prime steak house part awesome dive bar. Stopped coming down from Oregon. 5 miles from the 5 but worth the drive. Prime steaks and 1/2 lb Harris Ranch burgers. And the drinks are every bit as good. The owner has had it for almost 2 decades and knows what people like."

"Cool local place to visit. Service was extremely nice and professional. Yes, the Portuguese beans were great... But what held my attention was the smoked thick sliced turkey BLT. They make what you might think to be a simple thing taste spectacular! This is a sandwich that will make you feel as though you have won something. I will absolutely be returning."
