Big Tony's nails it every single time. The pizza is phenomenal too. Whether it's late at night after being out or even during the day, this place always hits the spot. What really makes this place stand out is the people. It's family-owned, and you can genuinely feel it. The staff is always friendly, and once they recognize you as a regular, they treat you like family. Even when there's a long late-night line, they've taken great care of me and made me feel like a VIP. That kind of hospitality is hard to find these days. They also have a small bar if you want to grab a drink while you're there, which is a nice bonus. Great food, great service, and an awesome atmosphere. If you're looking for an amazing pizza or one of the best steak & cheese sandwiches around, Big Tony's is definitely worth the visit. I'll keep coming back.

We made our reservation a day or two in advance and when we got there the hostess led us to the second floor. The brunch menu has a myriad of pizza and salad and classic breakfast menu items to choose from.

I ordered the Tavern salad with a side of creamy potato salad and liked it.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

L.A. Bar and Grill is perhaps one of the last "dive" bars in Arlington; and I even hesitate to…read morelabel this place a "dive" bar since while it's not fancy, it certainly isn't a dump either. Once upon a time when I lived along "the pike" (as it's affectionately known to area residents), this place was a regular haunt for me. Circa 2012, there were uncomfortable wooden booths, a mish-mash of sports memorabilia on the walls, music that usually was too loud, and the food was an afterthought. I recently met up with an old friend who still lives along "the pike," and I'm pleasantly surprised with the changes over the past several years. The old wooden booths have been replaced with more modern and comfortable tables/chairs, while still at bit dated, the design aesthetic is more 1990's Applebees as opposed to sports bar, and the food...the food is really good! And what I really love about L.A. Bar and Grill (the L.A. referencing "lower Arlington" before the area was rebranded into "North" and "South" Arlington) is the fact that it does not try to be one of the overly pretentious establishments which are commonplace is the Clarendon/Ballston/Court House sections of North Arlington. I used to hit those places up also in a former life, but nowadays, I'd rather spend my hard earned dollars in a place like L.A. Bar and Grill. And did I mention that it's not a super loud place, so you can ACTUALLY have a conversation without having to yell to be heard? Places like this are more intended for folks to hang out and chill while grabbing a drink and bite. For starters, they have one of the BEST and LONGEST happy hours in the entire DMV! Not sure when HH starts, but as of this review, M-F it goes until 8:30pm. It's not listed on their website, but my mental notes seem to recall $2 off appetizers and a good discount on draft beers and house wines. My buddy and I ordered the L.A. Chicken Quesorrito and the Spicy Chicken Mango bites. For so-called bar food, both dishes were really good. The Quesorrito was a ginormous portion of pulled chicken, jack cheese, rice, black beans, corn, and pico de gallo, all wrapped in a tortilla and given a quick sear on the flat top. Honestly, it could have fed three people. And the bites were nice deep fried breaded pieces of white meat chicken and then tossed in a sweet and slightly spicy mango sauce. And talk about value. Three beers and two appetizers came out to around $35; throw in a 20% tip and you're still leaving for under $45. L.A. Bar and Grill is definitely more a neighborhood joint with a good mix of regulars who walk over from the many apartments along the pike. As we were leaving around 9pm, a whole new crowd of folks were coming in, many of whom the bartender and staff were familiar with. It's been too long since I've been back to this section of Lower or South Arlington, but I was reminded that I need to make more of an effort to patronize places like L.A. Bar and Grill more often.
