Tony's is a must-go classic staple on the wharf. My parents used to take me there over 40 years ago and we always return when we are in town. The fish is always top quality fresh and flavorful, and in all my years going there I have never had a bad or even mediocre plate of food. It always brings a smile to my face to recall how many wonderful meals and experiences my family and I have had there over the years. Looking forward to returning this Autumn for another round of oysters, drinks, and main course dishes! read more

This is not a family restaurant. We were refused service by the white haired male host on a Wednesday evening at 6 pm when we took our family for dinner with two children. He told us to go to another restaurant stating, this "is for drinkin', not eatin'." read more

My grandson and I love this place. It is right on the Redondo Beach Pier and you can get a seat with a beautiful view. The service is amazing. We had the nicest server. He was so kind to my grandson and helped him with the menu. He just was ever so nice to him and Buddy loved talking to him, which he does not tend to do, he is very shy. This server simply went above and beyond. Parking is in the lot for the pier and it is for a fee, but it is fine and not too far a walk. The food is just great. This is not new style sea food. This is traditional seafood and it is all great. Their salads are the best. If you get one, have them had shrimp, they are generous with it and it makes the salad perfect. Their soups are the best. We favor the clam chowder. All of their appetizers are wonderful. We had a combination of fried shrimp and calamari. It was not tough or too fried, it was just perfect. We loved the alfredo pasta with shrimp and clams. All of their fresh fish is grilled so nicely. Desert is the best. You can have a wide variety of items. We prefer the chocolate cake, and the ice cream. We just love this place. So will you. read more

What more could I want or need?!? Fantastic view of waves crashing and dude surfing large coastal surge - check! Great Mai Tai, reasonably priced AND comes with souvenir glass for that reasonable price - check! Ambience that awakens faint memories of South Seas inspired eateries of my very early childhood, but in the well maintained condition of that era - check! 70s mellow rock, soft disco (don't rock the boat, baby) tunes in the BG - check! Kitschiness to delight my senses - check, check, CHECK! Friendly, welcoming host, servers and bus service, attentive to the customers - check!!! But WAIT A MINUTE --- ! Delicious dishes as well?!?!? Awww HECK YEAH! Why have we waited SO LONG to come to Tony's??? Wellll....hubs doesn't do fish, so I think that ended the further look before it even started. But on this day, with the cold in the air and surf raging, and us venturing south of DTLA, we decided drinks along the coast were what we needed. We headed to Tony's and we're famished by the time we arrived at 4. We were seated right away at the perfect corner window and Tony's signature Mai Tais and Fire Chief were ordered. Hubs perused the menu and didn't find a burger - uh oh. For me , fish is a delight and the cold weather dictated the cioppino ($33) would be my choice. Hubs went with the Queens cut NY steak dinner($30), thinking it would be "petite" as it was a lower price than the regular cut NY at $33. Both dinners came with choice of clam chowder, salmon chowder OR minestrone AND salad w/choice of dressing. His steak also came with choice of linguini w/clam sauce, rice pilaf, veggies, or potato(baked or French fries). Since he doesn't like seafood and I wanted to try both chowders, thinking they would be little cups, he graciously allowed me his clam chowder, and I selected salmon chowder along with my cioppino- yes, even though I was technically ordering a broth based entree, the cioppino entree still came with choice of soups AND salad. Let me tell you, E V E V E R Y T H I N G was delicious, full sized and VERY fairly priced for what we got. We were on our 2nd round of souvenir signature Mai Tais and stuffed to our figurative gills! Night had now fallen and the restaurant was filling up. We settled up, snapped a few more pics of the delightful decor, popped into the souvenir shop next door for a couple of Christmas themed Tony's on the Pier Tshirts, then finished the evening with a stroll around the famous Redondo Beach Pier, on which Tony's has been since 1952. As we drove away, we were already planning our return to this truly original, family owned & operated, delight of a restaurant. Blessings to the Trutanich family for keeping the dreams of Tony and Jeanne's alive and well. Cheers to another 72 years on the pier, Tony's!!!! read more

Old Tony's - The bar area at Tony's on the Pier. Top O' Tony's lounge sits above this one & offers exceptional views. - Seafood Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I don't even know where to begin....highlights - service was good and open windows with a wonderful ocean view. So loved that part of it. For the actual food - it was so bad that it was almost good. The "clam pasta", allegedly the Italian version, was basically condensed clam chowder on the most overcooked noodles in the history of noodles. It was so bad, but somehow still tasted good. The clams casino, had nothing even casino about it. It was a clam with a piece of bacon and some shoddy cocktail sauce...yet...it was not bad. This place vexes me. I'm terribly vexed. It reminds me of when my mom had 12 minutes to cook us dinner in 1982 and while nourishing, it wasn't something I was paying for. I'm vexed. So bad so so bad...but almost good. I'm vexed. read more

One of the most beautiful interiors in so cal, it's a southbay gem. Can't beat the views from either floor and the drinks are great. Order a mai tai and get a signature Tony's glass to take home. The MCM furniture is absolutely gorgeous. Great service every time I've visited! read more

I didn't know there was such a thing as a dive restaurant. As a lover of dive bars, that's not a bad thing. It's old and run down, but I like the vibe. Service was good, actually very good. Food is Red Lobster-ish (I was hoping for fresh seafood, not frozen). I'd go again and recommend it, but keep your expectations to a minimum. None of this is a complaint, just a little disappointed. read more

Been coming here for years! Show up today wearing a tube top and I am told I cannot be served wearing a tube top! I look another the room and see another young lady at the bar enjoying her drink wearing an even smaller tube top! Hmm?!?! I point it out to the waitress and all she could say is I didn't serve her?!?! Highly disappointed!! read more

Came here for an early valentines dinner, and the views made it spectacular, spectacular. Ordered the calamari, which came with linguini, side salad and salmon chowder. The salmon chowder stood out, and was the best tasting item out of everything. The linguini had an off taste, and the calamari mediocre. In the future, would stop for the salmon chowder and the views. read more

Let's start with the bread. Nice warmish sourdough with perfectly soft butter. The soup we chose was the smoked salmon chowder. It was delicious, especially with the addition of oyster crackers. I had the sand dabs and my dining partner had the Cajun grilled red snapper. Both were delicious and well prepared. The sand dabs were mild, lightly breaded and grilled. My dining partner had their famous mai tai, and was able to keep the glass as is tradition. The service was phenomenal. Our server was Noe. He kept on top of our drinks and was knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us make good choices. He recommended the smoked salmon chowder. How can you describe the ambience except to say that it is awesome! Nice tunes playing, the Pacific Ocean view, the waves lapping in the horseshoe and the smell of the salty air. There are tables inside with heaters built-in. You can tell that there are a lot of local patrons and the vibes inside are really epic. read more

The service was amazing, all servers and the hostess, nice job people. The food 1 to 10, I'd give them maybe a 4. I'm sorry, the clam chowder (looked and tasted like brown gravy) is not near an imitation, maybe you should buy it canned, it might be better. The Cioppino, not close to what Cioppino is supposed to be like. The margarita needed help. I'm sorry, the only good item was the calamari. read more

Service was great, view was wondering. The food was okay. - Clam chowder was not creamy. It tasted like corn soup with fish and clam. Not bad, just not your typical clam chowder. - Bread was delicious. - Maryland crab cakes were not Maryland crab cakes. To the restaurant's credit, the menu stated it was their own recipe. But the dish should be called crab cakes, not Maryland crab cakes. - Veggies tasted like frozed broc, cauliflower, and carrot melody (not from fresh). - the fish and scallops were salty. read more

June 2025, this place is just a step above the Seafood available on the west coast and we have eaten a lot in our times. From San Diego to San Francisco can't beat it. Waitresses and waiters are great and helpful. We have been here many times but never disappointed. The drinks are on par and creative if you need something special. We travel 1400 miles several times a year to enjoy the food, drinks, people and ambiance because the Seafood in Colorado is not very good. The loft is the best of all. With a 360 view of the harbor, shops, pier and the city can't be duplicated on the west coast. Saying Hi to all those that know Gordon and Linda read more

Outside of Hawaii, this is the best Mai Tai I have ever had! The crushed ice makes it like an adult snowcone-esq.

AMY!!! I had an amazing time. To start off ... the energy of my server was Just Amazing.. she was very attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable!!! The Food was SO GOOD!! Hats down to the salmon soup. EVERYTHING... REALLY!! I used to come as a child and I will definitely be back. I will not sit in any other section, But Amy's!!! I WILL BE BACK. Thank for the great experience! read more

The food, terrible other than the oysters because they don't have to cook them just crack them and plate them. Lori the server is very rude and disrespectful, she acts like I'm dumb and can't read a menu. Based on how me and my group look , "This is the first time we ever been here as if I can't afford a $30 entree." She wants to walk all over us when ordering our food. Order something, " are you sure you know what you're ordering." Yes I'm sure I can read. "You never been here before, you didn't read the menu." I asked for a lobster thermidor. "I don't think you know what you're getting, you're not getting a seafood boil where you dip the lobster in butter and eat like a king." Yes I know the menu said it'd mushroom sauce with lobster in a casserole so I'd hope not that the lobster comes with just the tail and butter sauce. I grew up eating lobster mushroom bisque I don't know why she would act like I would never like an entree like this and that I would only enjoy lobster with butter, as if that's what all black people like. And yeah Lori stop touching your customers to caress them into tipping you or liking you. I was on a double date trying to enjoy hopefully under $600 tab. But then she sat there and tried to parent us throughout our meal. Personally as young grown adults that don't need her parental control, not even guidance or support this was a horrible atmosphere. Reminds me of my disowned mother. So no entree's ma'am just give me my receipt for anything that landed on my table so I can pay and leave and enjoy my day without a "mom" saying I can't read what I ordered after reading an entire menu, I decided there's only one thing I could possibly consume. But apparently I don't know what it is. McDonald's treats me better. read more

Very lively bar on the pier. It had great views of the ocean and the pier. We didn't order any food but we did order plenty of drinks! We had just arrived in Redondo, dropped our luggage off at our hotel and hit the pier. I go to Redondo yearly and never had a chance to try Tony's. So glad that we did. The bartender was fantastic and we got free whiskey glasses! read more

I'm from Massachuestts and cane here strictly by chance with my family. Wish chance had tried something else. Now, being from New England, we have high expectations for any place serving seafood. But this letdown was on a whole different level. We each got a different seafood entree and they were all equally bad and equally lacking in portion size. Chowder tasted like it was from a can. Fish and shrimp were more likely frozen, and if not that brings up other concerns. The only highlight was the scallops. They were OK and cooked pretty well. But so much oil pooling in my plate, especially for so little food. If chance brings you here, keep on walking. read more

Went here for lunch with my boyfriend and we loved it! I am gluten free (sensitivity, not celiac) and got the grilled chicken Caesar salad and a side of fries. The salad was great, tossed with plenty of dressing. The fries were SPECTACULAR. They came out piping hot. My boyfriend got the fish and chips and said it was great. We were worried maybe it wouldn't be enough food for him but after he ate, he said it was the perfect amount. Our server was super kind and attentive. The vibe was also great. The restaurant feels like it's stuck in the mid to late 1900s in the best way. And pretty much all of their seating is by windows with a nice view of the waves crashing on the shore. read more

Service was good and view. Salmon Chowder was excellent. Sanddabs was tasty but could have been present better on plate.

I will give Tony's a 2 star because our waitress was great. It was my first time here after hearing about it. When I came in, the hostess did not have a smile and told us to pick a seat. With other customers, she smiled and led them to a table. Our waitress was great and she was checking on us throughout. The price is not worth the food quality. I think you are paying for the ambiance more than the food. You sit on top of the water so that's nice. For two people, it was $70. I got salmon chowder that was okay tasting. Later on in the night I ended up getting sick from it. I also ordered the garlic olive oil calamari which was honestly not that great. The calamari was soaked and it just tasted soggy. As I mentioned earlier, the only real good part about tony's was the waitress who was very helpful and kind. I would not come back here. read more

It's the food, and just being there, I was raised going from a very young age with friends and family

I was walking on the beach with a friend, saw Tony's, realized that we've lived in the area for close to 30 years but actually never been there! Say what?! How is that possible?! So naturally, we dropped in for an early dinner and enjoyed sharing a few plates of generously sized portions served old school style and overall, a great value! Our server was really friendly and gave us some great recommendations. I definitely wanted to try the Salmon Chowder which was so savory and tasty! We loved the Crabcakes dinner which also included a generous and delicious, lightly dressed side salad which was a meal.in itself. Meal also included a side. We both chose tge linguine and class, so creamy and a great compliment to our meal. Service was great with frequent checking in to clear our table and refill our drinks. I liked the decor and appreciated the view of the pier with the tide coming in. Plenty of tables available but it started filling up. Will definitely be back with the family and friends. read more
