Tony's Restaurant — Restaurant in Pickens

We are vacationing in the area, and went to Tony's on a Sunday night. Bottom line upfront: From the facility to the bathrooms (gross!) and the food, this place shouldn't be open!

We were hard-pressed to find a restaurant open until 10pm so we ended up here. I ordered the chicken Parm which came in an interesting oblong bowl smothered in sauce, cheese, and angel hair pasta. It was nice and hot so I was pleased until my wife a noted that the chicken appeared to be pressed soy (or something). It tasted good, but didn't have the consistency of fresh chicken breast. After 22 years of Army food, I still managed to enjoy it.

My wife asked if the pizza was cooked in a brick oven and the waitress gave us a non-commital action that wasn't very encouraging. My wife got a pepperoni and cheese pizza that was - wait for it! - served on a metal plate with a round cardboard piece under the pizza. It was clearly a FROZEN pizza thrown in an oven and billed as homemade. My wife ate some of it, but I've seen better Food Lion frozen pizzas.

Overall, we both still feel ripped off ($39!) and deceived. This place deserves -2 stars and we're just not sure how the locals can eat here. Avoid...

The place doesnt look that great but dont let that fool you. Kinda old, needs new seats and a coat of paint on the icky looking restroom.However, if you dont mind uncomfortable seats and want some good food then stop at this little small town restaurant. The manicotti was excellent. My bf from HS had lasagna and also said it was excellent. Both dishes arrived hot and plated well. We also ordered a greek salad which we split. It was plenty big for two. The salad had nice crisp iceberg lettuce with a few fresh tomatoes, croutons, & slices of feta cheese. While the portion was adequate, it did lack in value somewhat. It could have been better with a little tweeking by adding some additional mixed lettuce or purple onion to have given it the extra punch for a wonderful salad. The house dressing was killer. I would order the salad just for the dressing alone. We also ordered a wonderful cheese bread . The entrees included a bread that was also good. Would have been great if it had garlic butter melted over it but still good. The service was also good and one of the waiters was very friendly and funny. I would definitely eat...

Not impressed at all and would be hard pressed to ever eat here again. In fact, we're not even eating what we ordered other than the salad and cheesy bread. It was a last minute decision to try something new so we ordered for pickup. The food was ready fast, but that's about all I can say about the food. I ordered chicken marsala which basically taste like cheap brown gravy over partially cooked onions, mushrooms and grilled seasoned chicken tenderloins. Gross. Now I did go back and reread the menu online and sure enough the description says gravy but one would assume that the gravy would taste something like actual Marsala. My spouse ordered chicken Parmigian. The chicken taste like frozen breaded chicken tenders, and the red sauce is rather meaty which isn't common on chicken parm.... let's just say, we won't be eating that either. Now the Greek salad was pretty good, mostly because it had a ton of cheese (which we love) and the Greek dressing was pretty good. Sadly we're very disappointed and won't...
