After a killer brunch at R10, my girl and I needed one thing: strong drinks with a view--and Old Tony's delivered like only a Redondo Beach icon can. We grabbed a seat upstairs, where the 360° ocean views and salty breeze instantly set the mood. First things first: the infamous Fire Chief. A tropical knockout that's way stronger than it looks (trust me, you'll feel it halfway through). We sipped slow, let the live music sink in, and soaked up the old-school charm that makes this place legendary. Tony's is the kind of spot where time slows down, and the drinks hit just right. No frills, just sexy sunset vibes, ocean air, and cocktails that make you forget what you had planned next. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is the South Bay at its finest. 5 stars all day. read more

Sunset in the crow's nest. On a gorgeous spring evening... should you head home or grab a drink at Tony's ? Well, we sure prefer the latter. The Redondo Pier is an old school melange of kitsch and old fisherman. Parking is cheap and plentiful. Walk all the way to the top floor of Tony's and hope someone is about to leave and you can nab a table. The Mai Tai is fantastic! Really the only choose and you can keep the glass if you like. We went home with 4 of them ! The service was great and the servers are old school and lovely. read more

Old Tony's - Sunset from our table - Seafood Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Old Tony's is a Redondo Beach Pier landmark since 1952. When I was a kid my Dad used to bring us down to Tony's for dinner. It's been several years since I've been back. Friends and I came down for dinner before the pier concert (80's Band). I went with the cheeseburger and fries, while my other friends went with the sliders. And naturally we all ordered a few cocktails. I asked whether they had the Old Tony's souvenir cocktail glasses but was told that they've been out for the past several months. Guess I'll have to come back to get a glass when they're back in stock. The burger was decent, had better and had worse. The fries were also average. You don't come to OT for the food but more for the cocktails, which are pretty strong. You can tell that the place is frequented by regulars. My friend with me which is one of the regulars....she knew our waitress and the bartender. That's why our drinks had a heavy pour. Score! OT has a great view of the surrounding pier and the ocean from the upstairs bar. Best to get there right before sunset. read more

Went for a celebration and was craving the king crab legs. Short wait as it was super busy. Sat in Julie's section and she was very attentive. I ordered the crab legs only to be told it's not available! So disappointing. Ordered the Sea Bass instead and it was okay. The salad w egg and baby shrimp is to die for. Will be back. read more

We had appetizers and drinks at the bar upstairs. Have eaten many times in the Restaurant and like it very much. Nice setting. Upstairs bar is great for view. Bartender was rude. Short unhelpful answers and with a very strange sense of humor or just insensitive. Not sure which. So we drank our one drink and left. Not pleasant. read more

Tony's on the pier is a classic italian style restaurant with authentic 70's vibe, good food and incredible ocean views!! Clam chowder was tasty, caesar salad was good, we also had calamari and enjoyed it. Nothing was incredible by any means but a very decent meal in an awesome location on the Redondo Beach pier. Definitely worth stopping in and supporting a classic ocean front establishment with a 70 year history!! Cheers!!! read more

This historic seafood restaurant is a part of history of the Redondo Beach Pier. The place is small with the smallest bathroom on the planet. The tables all have a fantastic view of the ocean and the waves breaking below. The staff was wonderful and attentive to your every need. We sat down and ordered some steamed clams with butter and garlic. They were very good. If you are a drinker, you can order a Mai Tai and get to keep a souvenir glass to take home. This makes the experience more enjoyable. I ordered halibut and rice pilaf. It comes with salad and clam chowder. The chowder was bland but the salad was very good. The portions were good size. The fish came and I felt it was nearly tasteless. It really needed some seasoning and or a glaze, or something? I didn't taste any mesquite smoky flavor if they grilled it over a fire. It was tasteless. The upside was the view, staff, salad, and clams. The downside was the tasteless fish, chowder, old decor and dishes. The meal was served on tableware that reminded me of youth camp in the woods. Our bill was way over $100 but the plates and dishes I believe were plastic and cheap. Tony's on the Pier might need an upgrade soon. read more

I've seen this place on the pier for many years but never been there before. I decided to check them out on a Monday when I had a day off from work. I absolutely love the vintage charm of the restaurant. It reminds me of the '80s. The Oceanside seating is 10 out of 10. Such a beautiful view of the ocean from my table. I was able to soak up some of that fresh Ocean Air and even hear the waves crash from my table. Such a beautiful and relaxing vibe. My server was amazing. Wish I could remember her name. I had the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer which was so delicious and flavorful. The option that I selected for lunch came with a salad as a starter and the homemade ranch was so good. I ordered the butterfly shrimp for my entree and I have to be honest I did not enjoy it. The flavor was similar to a fish stick. I was expecting a juicy plump fresh fried shrimp but it was probably a frozen fried shrimp that was placed into the oven. That was kind of disappointing but I would come back here again. I would just order something different read more

A friend recommended Tony's, so I stopped in for an appetizer and a cocktail. I sat at the bar and a friendly bartender assisted with my margarita. I ordered the steamed clams. They were a bit over cooked but still good and the broth was delicious! And then they do the thing that I wish every restaurant would do with mussel and clams dishes: they actually brought a small container of the broth along with the bread. The bread and whipped butter were perfect for dipping and the extra broth was perfect! I loved the 70's vibe and I hope they don't change, I'll be back! read more

Are you serious? After reading these five star reviews I have to believe that a major majority of them are fake or the reviewer has no standard of cleanliness or quality of food. This place is absolutely disgusting. Completely overpriced you are paying for the ambience or the appeal of the ocean. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant so dirty in my entire life smells like cigarette smoke and urine. You feel that you need to take a shower when you leave this place. Our server was completely rude. Did not bring us our food in a timely manner or even correctly we received somebody else's order. You better bring your checkbook and a whole bunch of money because this place is ridiculous. Absolutely would never return or recommend. Walk 50 yards away and visit a much better restaurant with actual lower pricing that doesn't smell like mildew urine and cigarettes. read more

It has been a while since, too long since we last visited. This was for a birthday and there were 4 of us. The weather was a bit chilly but the dinning area was nice. We all ordered something different steak, stuffed shrimp , swordfish, scallops and of corse we enjoyed a FireChief. Our server was very nice , prompt . And crept track of the glasses we would go home with . The stuffed shrimp got rave reviews. The salads and soup were good . I will say the restroom is a challenge for almost every one as it is tiny. Definitely not ADA compliant so the restrooms at the pier entry are probably a better option. The upstairs circular bar is still the best place for sunset cocktails . read more

Today was my dad's birthday and the server we had, couldn't have made it more worse than anyone else. The food took forever, he never filled our drinks, mischarged us, but didn't explain anything when asked. There are really no words for it. My family arrived around 1:30pm, I had arrived at around 2:15pm. It was very strange, but I was handed a dinner menu. I was reading the menu and saw that mine came with a soup and a salad (did not mention an extra charge). I even asked the server prior to ordering so there was no misinformation. When I saw the bill, I was surprised to see I was charged extra. When I asked our server, John, regarding the bill, he didn't explain anything. He just said, it was on the menu. He didn't care to bring it out or show it to me. He also wasn't hesitant to charge us the dinner price when my other family members that arrived prior got the same order. I felt pretty scammed. Also, the dinner portions were extremely large and had he explained this, I would have appreciated it. The food was actually pretty bad as it was super oily and lacked flavor. I didn't even tell the server that the food was bad, but I was really annoyed with how he upcharged us and didn't explain it at all to me. He was short, rude, and super unprofessional. You could totally tell that he absolutely hates his job, it really shows. It was pretty unbelievable especially from a food spot on a pier. I would expect to have much better service for being charged so much. On top of that, we try to pay and he steals the cash that we put towards our tab and still charges us as if we didn't put down any cash. Kind of ridiculous so it took them an extra 15 minutes to get their manager and figure it out. If his service was faster and more efficient, we would have been able to be in and out. But, we often felt neglected, ignored, and talked down to. I will never come here again. Please do better, John. Someone else would love to have your job :) read more

A legendary bar, perched in the eye of the Redondo Pier. Old Tony's has served the last 3 generations of my family with the utmost love and care! I urge everyone to walk up their stairs and into the a "harbor lighthouse" bar haven. The mai tais are forever flowing and the appetizers will come out PIPING HOT! They also have plenty of TVs to satisfy any sports needs. read more

I love the food here!! It's really good quality and you get so much food for a great price! I ordered the stuffed shrimp, and it comes with soup, salad, and another pick of your choice. I think that's a fabulous opportunity. I ordered Caesar salad instead of the the garden salad and it's a up charge for $1. I think that's not bad at all though with all the food you received for a fair price. On the other hand, I will say , to put the baked potato toppings on the side because they put copious amounts of sour cream and butter on top. Hey, we are all different, but I don't not like excessive sour cream :) it was still delicious tho! The service here is always good. The bust boys are very attentive to your needs and taking away your plates. Our waitress was very sweet and down to earth. Easy going gal. The ambiance is perfect for views. You can see the sunset, and it's located right by Redondo Beach. It's a nice bar vibe upstairs as well. It's perfect for summer here! The mai tai's are very good here, they are really popular and you can take the cup home as souvenir. It's a nice vibe here and can be a good time! Great location as well! Overall, I always come here just been late on a review. I will continue to come back. The parking is in the structure and to get best access park on level 3 to have close walking access. You have to pay for parking, but not if you have handicap. read more

Old Tony's - mai tai - Seafood Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

The food here is delightful. I love the stuffed crab meal. When, I want a good reasonable seafood meal, I go here. Everything is fresh. They have the best Mai Tai's. If you buy a Mai Tai you get to keep the glass. The service is always righteous. The ambiance is a very cool vibe. It's a historical restaurant so it's not modern. The bathrooms are very small and are old too. No outdoor seating, but they have a upstairs bar on top of restaurant which is very refreshing. The parking lot is not far from the restaurant on the pier. You pay for the parking by the hour. No valet parking. Great place for meetings, parties, etc. Great view of beach. read more

Love this old-school vintage place on the pier! It has an amazing ocean view and a charming bar. The Maitai is one of their signature cocktails and was recommended by the bartender, it was $10ish and comes with a TONY's souvenir glass; what a great deal! For snacks, we have the Maryland-style crabcake ($14) and half a dozen oysters. The Crabcake was the most closest to Maryland crabcakes I ever had in S.Cal! The oyster was fresh and almost like giant size oysters. Would definitely come back for a full dinner to try other items! read more

I'm a local and it makes me sad that every time I've been at Tony's upstairs, one of my favorite places, the service is always been bad. I brought my uncle and aunt who were visiting from another country and was embarrassed by the way the waitress was incredibly rude. She got our order wrong and decided to yell back and argue with me instead of making it right. I will still go there as I love the Mai tais and it's part of RB that I love, but common, be happy, your at the beach! read more

I'll start this review by stating the date and time: October 26, 2025 approximately around 5 -6 PM o'clock. I will make this as concise as possible. This was my first time ever dining in at this establishment. I will, explain exactly what happened. My family decided to dine here and planned on going fishing and walking the pier after. There were four of us. Upon being seated, I could immediately tell some of the staff were drunk or had been drinking. Our server's name was Amy. We sat by the window tables and were greeted by Megan, who was just filling in to get us started (she was so nice and polite), then we were greeted by Amy. She took our order and we all ordered steaks. I will explain what I ordered: NY Steak cooked Medium. Minestrone soup. Caesar salad. Soup and salad were great and came out with good timing. This is where things went terribly wrong. All our steaks came out and immediately I cut through the middle to make sure it was cooked to the correct temperature. It was Well-Done. Not a big deal, I just kindly asked the server to have it remade, but that was asked for 3 out of 4 of us. My boyfriend ordered the same thing I did at the same temperature and his came out just as ordered (he ended up trying to share with the rest of us). The other two in our family ordered different temperatures than us and still did not receive the correct cook of the steak. At this point, I went to speak with the manager just to express concerns and I had to ask the bartender who the manager was and he directed me towards him and I don't recall his name. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. This is why I included the date and time. These were the concerns I expressed to him: 1. Server (Amy) held out a bread plate while I was expressing my concerns of my steak and told me "Are you going to put the steak on here??" She interrupted me when I was being very polite in my explanation. She didn't seem to care about what I had to say. 2. Feedback on the flow of service and service in general. (You could tell the manager was drunk or maybe had been drinking.) He immediately told me: "What could we do? I know you want a discount. Let's just give you a discount." I politely responded "No, we actually want what we ordered. I'm just letting you know our experience here so far hasn't been great.". Upon requesting a remake of our entrees to the correct temperatures, we received even terrible outcomes. The server (Amy) asked me, when I expressed my steak wasn't cooked to my liking, "What can I do?" I responded "I would like it less cooked because it's not Medium, it is Well-Done." She then brought to the table a RARE steak and tried telling us that's what I wanted when, what I wanted since the beginning was a Medium steak. That is when I couldn't take it. I do want to just say on here that we are never ones to post yelps or leave bad reviews but this experience was discriminatory and just plain out rude. I was crying outside the establishment and the manager told one in our group if he needed a hankie for my tears!? It really did not need to escalate to this but the lack of customer service is insane. Most of that staff was drunk. This is discrimination: I am Mexican and polite and I work in this restaurant industry. I DO NOT judge people on their color or race. I will say most were white (just observation). I did not want to come on here and say this was discrimination, but it is. Tones and attitudes is something I could not write out for you all. Also, the exact words that were said and how they were said speaks volume. So many red flags. I will not be returning, and quite frankly, I hope this reaches the right people and ALL people. This establishment needs to acknowledge this incident. Manager: Uninterested and did not want to make things right at all. Also, drunk. Server: She was polite, but when things were wrong, couldn't explain or justify the mistakes. Very rude and inconsiderate. *Many of the staff here were drunk.* read more

Let's start with the good things about this restaurant. 1. The view and sound of the ocean are wonderful. That sums it up. This was on October 26, approximately at 5 pm. Now, for the experience, I couldn't fathom being in a movie, check my other reviews. I've had my fair share of bad experiences, but I've never been inclined to write a bad review until now. Ten years ago was my last visit, and the steak ranked in the top 5 I've ever had, until today. I was in the area on business and wanted to treat my girlfriend, business partner, and his son to a steak dinner on the ocean while we discussed ongoing business endeavors. We walked in and were greeted by a host who guided us to our table. When I said thank you very much, this is a perfect spot, she responded with "mm." I didn't think much of it, maybe she was just having a bad day. While waiting for our server to come, Megan came to take our drink order until our server was able to come. Megan was nice, no complaints. Then our server, Amy, came, who initially seemed sweet and very helpful until she wasn't. We ordered our steaks. Four in total. The soups and salads were good. Not as good as Campbell's. I digress. So, the steaks came, and 3/4 were cooked not according to how we ordered. Medium rare was raw, and medium was well done. We only complained about two of them. Mine was cooked medium, as well, and came as a true medium. The server rudely said to my girlfriend, "Well, put the steak on the plate." A bread plate that she was holding in her hand. Her demeanor had changed suddenly and unexpectedly. She asked the chef if that's how they were supposed to be, and he said yes. Why didn't my steak and her steak look the same if they were both medium? Delusional and in denial, the cook and server claimed it was correct. They "attempted" to make it right by redoing the steaks. I say that because when the steaks came, it was insulting. I'll get to that in a bit. My girlfriend went to talk to the manager about the situation, and he said, "I already know you kind of people want a discount. Is that what you want?" She responded, "No, I don't want a discount. I want my food cooked correctly. We're hungry." We're business owners! We weren't looking for a discount or a cheap dinner. My girlfriend is the head of Human Resources and in control of operations at an extremely high-end fine dine restaurant. Once again, I digress. The owner, while speaking to her, was clearly inebriated. He said he would be by our table and didn't do a thing. The steaks came, and the server said, "Check the steak before I go." The steak looked like a seared piece of tuna. It was raw! The server defended it and stated, "While you said you wanted it cooked less," they went from well done to raw. Really? I wish I had pictures. It was unbelievable. My girlfriend stepped out and started tearing up due to being overwhelmed. My business partner was talking to the manager, who claimed, "We helped her out. She's fine." My business partner also noticed this dude was drunk. After my business partner noticed she was crying, he got upset, went to the manager, and said, "This is what fixing it looks like. She's crying." My business partner came to the table and got myself and his son, and said, "Let's go." On our way out, the manager said, "Want a hankie?" My business partner went back in and exchanged not-so-friendly words between him and Jerry or Jeremy, whoever the manager was. Out of the entire staff, the only person who made an attempt to rectify the situation was the bartender. Shout out to him for trying to de-escalate the situation and do what he could to make it right. And one of the cooks in the back with a red bandana. We walked out on a $300-$400 tab. It's a damn shame. Being in the service industry, we tip a minimum of 30%. We pay for what we order. We just wanted our food made to how we ordered, and we got totally effed. It's too bad because this place was iconic and served the most delicious food and cocktails. It threw off our entire day and the next! It's currently 1 am in the morning, and I stood up just to write this review. Avoid this place like the plague. Forgot to mention, other servers and employees seemed to be drunk. I DO NOT WRITE BAD REVIEWS!!! BUT IF THIS PLACE OPERATES LIKE THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!! McDonald's has better service and food. Not a joke. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk. read more

We arrived at Redondo Beach quite late and went into Old Tony's. First thing I noticed is the fish net ceiling with buoys and a strong sense of the ocean smell in the air. We sat down quickly and order a calamari to start. The bread came a bit later but it was all good. We wanted to try the coconut shrimp but was sold out. I had a combo plate but couldn't work out what the fish was. It's very rubbery. It came with a chowder, salad and side. Food was a bit salty as everything was deep fried.

Why doesn't this place have a five-star average review. I travel around the world, and I can honestly say, the food and service here is some of the best I've ever experienced. And it is a surprise. Most of the restaurants on the pier have very low reviews. I ordered the fried calamari meal. The calamari was ultrafresh, lightly breaded just like the menu said, and seasoned to perfection. The fries were fresh and crispy. My meal came with a salad and a bowl of salmon chowder. The salmon chowder was out of this world. Chunks of salmon, and a very flavorful bisque. And the salad with blue cheese salad dressing was perfect. The blue cheese tasted homemade. When I walked in the restaurant I was greeted by a very kind and friendly hostess. On the way out, she was even better. This lovely woman seated me right at the end of the dining room where I had a beautiful view of the sunset. Then there was the sticker shock at the end. But this it wasn't your typical sticker shock. My huge meal came in under $31. I know we don't normally post prices on Yelp, but this meal in my home city of San Francisco would have been $85 at the very least. Having traveled to Los Angeles and Long Beach countless times, somehow I've never been to the pier in Redondo Beach. I'll be back here for sure. read more

A group of us went to Old Tony's for my daughter's 24th bday and I brought a cake and candles for the occasion. The hostess was so sweet and offered to put the cake in their fridge and prepare the candles for us when ready. We had the famous mai tai's (with the glass to keep!) and had dinner. The food was good (not phenomenal) but enjoyed my scallops and baked potato. I was nervous about the salmon chowder but loved it! The mai tai cocktails were good but not that strong....I had two and definitely should have felt it something. The atmosphere from another generation and classic. We loved the vibe along with the great views of the ocean from the huge windows. Our waitress was the bomb and the service was awesome. When they brought the cake out, they even supplied a pie server to cut and serve the cake! Would definitely come back! read more
