Tony J's Bar and Grille — Restaurant in Saint Clair Shores

I wanted to share just how impressed we were with our server, Nick. Apparently it was only his 3rd day at this location. He was kind, compassionate, and overall an amazing server!

I got stranded at this restaurant during the flash flood yesterday. I had to wait for my husband to finish work and come check on my car as apparently cars do not enjoy swimming! I utilize the assistance of a service dog and had him with me. I came in disheveled because I was afraid to have destroyed my car’s engine… I needed to use the facilities and discuss possibly leaving my car over night. He didn’t treat me any differently because of my disability and made sure I was taken care of.

Seriously such a kind human being in my moment of peril! The patrons at the bar were super kind too!

Once my husband arrived, we made sure to order a meal. The food was so delicious and Nick was our server for this too! Our food came timely, hot, fresh, and super tasty. Nick and Tony J's Bar and Grille made a bad and scary day so much better. Absolutely 1000 stars for any time he is working!

On a side note, one employee was misinformed about how to handle a service dog team. No big deal, many people don’t know… and my partner is 120 lbs. I did let management know and they’re already on it.

We would have NEVER gone to this place and this amazing experience with our server, Nick, and with management after has definitely won our affection to come back again sometime.

Highly...

First visit. After placing my order it took 15 minutes for the waitress to tell me the soup I ordered wasn't available (good waitresses always know what's available in the kitchen). Then after 30 minutes I asked about my salmon burger. The waitress said she thought I didn't order it. I kept my patience. But after another 20 minutes I confronted my waitress about the absurdity of the wait. It went downhill from there. It got to the rediculous point of the cook telling me how long it took to cook salmon. No one, not the waitress or the cook, took responsibility. Can you imagine the cook coming out and arguing how long it takes to cook salmon. Tony J's is not a restaurant, it is a local redneck watering hole. Oh, the hole was 25% occupied. I'm 76 and have eaten at 100s of restaurants around the world. I've had bad service before, but this is the first time I have got up and left...

My friends and I have been to Tony J’s many times after work, usually in a group of six or more. While we keep coming back for the affordable drinks and decent food, the service has consistently been disappointing—especially with our usual server, Liz G. Liz has never greeted our table with a smile, offered food or drink recommendations, or even brought waters without being asked. On several visits, our orders were either incorrect, brought out at completely different times, or simply forgotten. It’s frustrating, especially given how often we’ve supported this place. Tony J’s has potential to be a go-to spot for casual hangouts, but the consistently poor service brings the whole experience down. A more welcoming and attentive waitstaff would make a huge difference. Do...
