Tony's Express restaurant Columbia — Restaurant in Columbia

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place deserves one — and not in a good way.

I tried Tony’s today and ordered the catfish with two wings and four shrimp. Let me be honest — it was the worst meal I’ve ever had. The catfish had zero seasoning. The wings were fried so hard they felt like biting into eggshells. The shrimp? It looked like someone forgot to bread them entirely. Just sad.

I also added four chicken strips, hoping they’d be better. Nope. They were dry, flavorless, and didn’t even seem to be coated with anything. No salt, no pepper, no effort — just thrown in grease. Biting into them felt like chewing beef jerky.

I spent $30 on this meal, and the only thing even remotely worth it was the large sweet tea. And honestly, I was just hoping they didn’t mess that up.

Final thought: Save your money....

Ordered the seafood boil had no flavor size was ok but the flavor was terrible also ordered the wing lo mein and tilapia plate only thing good was the wings my tilapia had no flavor and neither did the lomein I asked for hot sauce hoping it would help my fish but they have a cheap pink looking hot sauce that was terrible!!! Definitely first and last time visiting...

I was in the hospital following painful surgery. My son placed the delivery order here. Being from out of town, we had no idea what the food would be like. Our food arrived piping hot. It was SUPER delicious! Both of us were extremely pleased. It had been a long time since we had food that good. Definitely...
