Tony Roma's — Restaurant in Carson

TR, didn't disappoint me at all. Well a little pricey but I haven't had a good tender rack of babybacks in a long time. Deliciously 😋...tender ooooweeeee!!!! I love to mix that Carolina honey BBQ sauce and the hot BBQ sauce. TR really use to be the spot back in the day. I'm glad to see they are still hanging in there...and the food & service were wonderful 😀. Like I said a lil pricey especially being that it's close by competitors are OliveGarden and 🌶 Chilli's. I was alone that night because I went to return something at JCP which is located in the same mall lot. I thought I need dinner 🍽 and went to TR. $80 including tip for 1 person. I got the sampler appetizer $20, the babyback rib dinner and a coke. That's ridiculous but it was a nice, clean restaurant, clean restrooms 🚻, but nothing overly fancy in atmosphere. This location does have a full bar area and 2 private rooms for parties I guess. But $80 in 2023, no way. That's what I spend when I go to Fleming's for lunch and the atmosphere alone outranks TR. I'm just saying in my OPINION you guys are in Carson which is a great location fwy accessible, so you're just a hop/skip from Cerritos, Long Bch, Lakewood, Compton, ALL the beach cities/Southbay and the greater LA area. The mall parking lot is cool but if staying in business is the goal...you guys have gotta adjust those prices. What's the lure from the forementioned would be patrons of those cities to jump on the 405 and come support TR, when there are other options closer to home. Hey what do I know? I paid $80 and the place had customers. I'm just saying I remember a time when TR looked like t h e building was spittin up ppl and TR had TV 📺 commercials. Long waits but worth every bite. That can be the case again. If I spent $80 just for me then I feel sorry for the ppl around me that had multiple people in their parties. Make it make sense folks. You gotta be getting ribs wholesale or something. Trim the fat somewhere. Nevertheless thanks for the memories. I'm not fussing... I'd just like to see TR survive and be introduced to a new generation of good times and good eats with great service. Took me 3days to finish those ribs. They warmed up perfectly in the microwave. 😊...

To the cook (s) The food was okay Unfortunately I didn't like the wings and the onion loaf In the wings you can tell they where frozen and you let them sit in the danger zone temperature 🌡you can taste For the onion loaf; the batter was not fresh nor the onion. The batter fell apart and there was no seasoning For the prices the restaurant is charging you should be giving the customers fresh food.

The Stake did not taste good. Unfortunately the Stake as well tasted like it has been left out and in the danger zone temperature

Stake & lobster w/ fries & mash Stake plate w/ mash, corn on the cob Onion loaf 1lb of wings Water,soda,tea

When I let the manager know this he argued that they don't have anything frozen but they wouldn't charge me for my plate I don't need the manager fighting with me about if they have or dont have their food frozen. I just wanted to let you know the food was not good and you should take attention in the kitchen, with the chefs, or with your food carrier. Because the food does taste as it was frozen and not defrosted properly.

When I was leaving the manager followed us out just to lett me "you know you shouldn't have rare Stake, you should have well done" first of all the Stake being rare was not the problem. Then he said "you know doctor told me that it's not good for you"

I told him the Stake being rare was not the problem that problem was that you can taste that the meat was left out longer then its recommended by safety inspectors that's why I said the( Danger Zone ) you can taste the juices when meat has frozen burns.

If the owner can please have the chefs taste the food and check the quality of the food when it leaves the kitchen and make sure when your food carriers bring your food that you have a chef checking the quality...

Will start off. I stood at the front desk for over five minutes waiting for someone to show up to place me in the seat….. Then I sit down and order St. Louis ribs, full rack, corn in the cob and loaded mashed potatoes with an iced tea … Bring me the bread, which was good, but the best thing out of all of it … I’ve had a lot better in your places and for the price of $34 plus for a full rack of ribs. It should’ve been a lot better honestly I think they were made about two days ago and just warm up. … The corn was so soggy and wet that I’m sure older people could’ve ate it without their teeth and that’s how nasty it was. It was like biting into mush. …. Potatoes consider ice cream potatoes with bacon bits cheese on it, and it wasn’t even melted, and it was cold when it all came out ….. No hand wipes they didn’t offer any had to ask for another iced tea. Hardly come by the table to ask me if it was any good except once right after they drop the food off, and I barely had time to chew on it when they ask. …. This is the nastiest I’ve ever been into and I know that I’ll never step another foot into another one …. You have better atmosphere better and better prices if you go across the street to sizzlers, I swear to God it’s...
