Tony's Tamales — Restaurant in Ridgeland

In the past, they were great. Today, they showed me firsthand why people get frustrated with small businesses and take their money elsewhere. How does a business close at 8, but almost 40 minutes before closing time refuse to take an order over the phone that THEY REQUIRE be called in (specialty item)?

Those of us who grew up in Laurel used to get Tamales like this in a small little building much like Tony's.
