Tony’s Bar & Grill: A Glorious Burger Glow-Up in Center City

I’ve been going to this spot since it was Al’s Saloon as far back as in 2013, so believe me when I say,I came in with high expectations and a heart full of burger memories.

And let me tell you… Tony’s didn’t just meet the bar, they grilled it to perfection and served it up hotter and better than I remember. This place is a full-blown upgrade in all the right ways...fresh look, friendly vibe, and the food? Just as good if not better.

Unimpressed, poor service, poor food, and poor drinks. Complete waste of money with so many other places that care about...
