Kids gave it 5 stars! We came in on a Sunday for a family lunch. We arrived right before noon and the place was already starting to fill up. We had a great server. We ordered a variety of food to share - hot dog platter, pierogies, chicken paprikas, pretzels and beer cheese and a kids chicken finger meal. Everyone enjoyed the food. While waiting we checked out the signed buns near our table. Plus they bring the food out as it is ready so you get your cold food quickly. Overall a fun place to visit. read more

I've always wanted to try Tony Packo's, because of the references in M*A*S*H*, like most people. I loved the ambiance, with the signed buns and rustic feel. It seems to be very much a local favorite, where servers & customers recognize each other. But, the whole place smelled like sauerkraut to me. I got the beef sliders and cucumber salad. The sliders were just ok. I thought they should have a sweeter sauce or something. They tasted kind of odd. I really liked the flavor of the cucumber salad, but the dressing would have been better if it had been thicker. I'm glad I stopped in, but I don't think I need to go back. read more

I know this spot has a lot of history with many famous people having visited but I wasn't a huge fan of the food. The hot dog and paprikas dumplings tasted a bit bland to me, but the price was very reasonable. I thought the service was good though and I liked the interesting decor. read more

Tony Packo's is a Toledo institution with so much history. We visited their original location which has hot dog buns signed by celebrities on their walls which is really neat since you get to see who has visited this landmark. The main stable here is their chili which pairs well with their pierogis topped with onions and cheese or their famous original hot dogs that have that ever so satisfying snap when you bite into them. They also have wonderful Hungarian chicken paprikas. The service and the atmosphere is fun and they even have a gift shop that sells their hot dogs, pickles and other items. This is a must try if you're in the Toledo area. read more

One of the most unique restaurants I've been to during my travels. The food was delicious and it couldn't have been prepared any faster! I was early on the way back to the airport so I was one of the first customers of the day. The service was fast and super friendly because I was the only one there initially! It filled quickly. Have to try this place it won't disappoint. read more

With an overnight stay in Toledo, I wanted to try a cuisine that I was not familiar with. Doing a Yelp search, I found a place that served Hungarian food. The restaurant was eccentric - decorated with all kinds of autographed hot dogs, human figured statues, and other amusing things to look at. Their store has unusual and interesting products. I found the hot dogs too salty that I could not finish. The pierogis were not flavorful, not tender or had enough filling. I never had fried pickles before so I thought it would be much more crispier. The stuffed cabbage was tender, delicious and flavorful. Mac and Cheese was good - just enough cheese and liquidly. It's a delightful place to visit - unusual, excellent service and had good positive vibrations. Based on the reviews, I was expecting something more. I was more into the food rather than the atmosphere and environment. I am giving this four stars because I did not think the food was that good - it's more comfort food at reasonable prices. It was not Hungarian enough for me. read more

I've been here a few times and I've only had but a good experience. It's super cute inside and there's a cute store that sells their merchandise, novelty items and food, inside too.

Location: 1902 Front Street, Toledo Ohio Website: www.tonypackos.com Online order app: https://direct.chownow.com/order/24580/locations/36224 Menu: see website Hours: see website I grew up in the Toledo area and a faithful fan of Tony Packo's. The original location is charming and the food is consistently good. The service is excellent, whether you are dining in or taking out. Tonight I picked up a takeout order for a birthday dinner, made incredibly easy with their online order app. A nice assortment including chicken paprikash, chicken chili mac, fried pickles, and many, many chili dogs. I am very fond of their dumplings - small little pasta nuggets that are perfect with chili for the perfect bite, every time. The chili dogs are simply the best. A quarter of a smoked Hungarian sausage, covered with a finely minced beef chili, diced onions, and shredded cheese in a soft bun. Served with a nice sampling of their famous pickles, you will enjoy this great feature. There are several locations in NW Ohio and they all nod to the original with framed, signed hot dog buns. A Toledo treasure. read more

First things first, Packo's was packed! Our server was really nice and fast. Parking is across the street and can be difficult to cross if you hesitate. We had a cup of chili, a 5-piece of the original pierogis, and 2 original dogs. Chili was delicious! No notes. Dogs were absolutely amazing. However, I've had frozen pierogis better than these. They were chewy and too soft. There was almost no filling. Probably just stick to the hotdogs when you come if you're between the two. Overall, a great place! read more

Wow! Yummy! Great place to come to on $2 hotdog Tuesday. That secret is out and they were rocking and rolling before 11am. Check out the honorable weiner buns signed by celebrities. Others items available and the hotdog reigns king here for a reason. Go get the sausage dog with yellow mustard, onions and no bean chilli. Get two or three dogs because they are that good. read more

5/29/25 - Day 4 and final game of the roadtrip. We rolled into Toledo to take in a Mudhens game. The visiting Louisville Bats were in town. But my first order of business had nothing to do with baseball. Being a big MASH fan, there was no way I was leaving this town without visiting Max Klinger's favorite restaurant, Tony Packos, for some Hungarian hot dogs. Loved the old feel to it .... you walk through the door and it feels like you are transported into the 1940s. Great atmosphere. Loud, crazy staff. And the food was so delicious. See the pics.

What an ironic place to visit, Tony Packo's! Almost 100 years old. Their claim to fame isn't just the great Hungarian food, but the signatures on a bun. In 1972, Burt Reynolds stopped by after filming. The restaurant knew who he was so they asked for his signature. He gave his autograph on a bun. Over 1,000 buns have been signed by celebrities, politicians including 7 presidents, and more. Pretty neat to see. I am curious how they are able to preserve those buns. My husband suggested we stop at this iconic hot dog spot on our way home. Glad we did! I was able to try the kraut pierogis and Packo dog. My husband got the Packo feast. This was a lot of food but it was my first time and I wanted to try it all. Hungarians hot dogs are so yummy! I love that this restaurant looks 100 years old. Original decor, stained glass light fixtures, and signed buns. I love when a restaurant or business rich with history doesn't change things when they get popular. This only hiccup was the service. Our waiter seemed out of it. He couldn't remember what we ordered and he disappeared after we got our waters. Overall, everyone was nice and the food was great. read more

This is a historic diner. I absolutely love the decor inside, so much to take in. You can sit in the bar area and be served or order at the counter and then pick your seat. The staff is very nice and helpful. They serve chili hotdogs, stuffed cabbage, fried pickles, etc. I got the chili and cheese pierogies, and they were fantastic. Their hot dogs are really good as well. There is also a small gift shop with t-shirts, pickles, chili, hot dogs, etc. I definitely recommend checking them out. I know, for a fact, that I will be back. read more

First time to the Original Tony Packo's location. We were intrigued by the autographed buns all over. About 85% of the signatures have actually visited the location and all have tried his food. We had the cabbage roll and the original Tony Packo's dog with a side of paprika dumplings. Food was very tasty..the cabbage roll was very delicious, moist inside and the cabbage was cooked perfectly. The original packo with dog sauce and cheese was very good. Their pickles are so fabulous...a little heat a lot of flavor. There is a gift shop located inside where you can purchase pickles, apparel and other merchandise read more

We always enjoy Tony Packo's! The Hungarian establishment has been there since the 1930's - super cool history & lots of collector items sprinkled throughout. Located in Hungarian Town! The food is always served up with a smile. The sausages are amazing, I prefer one all the way with cheese, a side of paprikas, cucumber salad, and a half order of their famous fried pickles. Everything is always consistently amazing! Multiple locations have opened in the previous years, so you may hit up Packo's all around the Toledo area. Give Tony Packo's a try!

Tony Packo's - Chicken Paprikas Platter - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Great place but all day everyday there should be full service. A lot of elderly people come and don't need to be fooling around with trays and carrying stuff which totally cheapens the experience. People don't like cafeteria style whatsoever. Also this location is not setup for that to begin with. That may work at your satellite locations which were designed that way but the original location isn't and it causes terrible congestion. read more

Tony Packo's is a Toledo institution for good reason. The cucumber salad and chicken Paprikash and pierogis remind me of my grandmother's cooking. My husband loves their hot dogs and chili.

It's a Sunday just before 3p and it seems crazy busy. A staff person said it's just a Sunday making us think that this place is probably busy then really busy. Love the vibe, decor and history on display here. On a whim we decided to stop in Toledo on our road trip and looked up interesting tidbits from the area and landed here. We were M.A.S.H fans so we were even more intrigued to stop in. You need to set aside your 'healthy/diet' food for a meal and take in this place. We went mostly all in on the authentic Tony Packo's Signature Chili Hot Dog. We also chose the German Potato salad & Paprikas Dumplings as our sides. We got very full, but wanted to try the strudel and hit it to go for later. Rating is for the entire experience/ we enjoyed our lunch stop. read more

The original location on Front street is also the very best. Toledo's home to the Hungarian kolbasz sausage. The decor is exceptional. The walls are covered with pictures of the famous and autographed hot dog buns, a tradition that started way back in 1972 by actor Burt Reynolds. Usually, the service is acceptable. We've had one maybe two incidents where the servers weren't very good. All the food here is exceptional. The dumplings are near perfect and the garlic pickles are the very best. Not too spicy, yet addicting. Their chicken paprikas and the stuffed cabbage are also top shelf. You really should try the TP original Hungarian Dog with mustard, onion and chili. They give you a slice of their famous pork sausage on a tasty warmed bun. Cheese is optional, for a charge. I keep meaning to ask if they have a menu option to buy the entire sausage, not just part of one. They were smart enough to open a gift shop in the back. You'll find everything Tony Packo's from tee shirts to pickles to coffee mugs and more. I've got a TP baseball jersey at home. As wonderful as Packo's is, they will always rank as a close second in my "Best hot dog in Toledo" category. More to come. 12/23 read more

I had been here years ago with our family & I REALLY wanted to go again. I'm so glad we did. I think I was too young before to fully appreciate how wonderful this place really is. We walked in & got right in line to order & then went to the bar for a beer & the wonderfully polite & kind bartender told me I could have just started at the bar & she would have been glad to get my order so I didn't have to stand in the line, which would suit me perfectly so I could get started on the ice cold beer sooner. Truly amazing food & something for everyone. I could eat here 4 or 5 times a week & not get bored! Thanks for carrying on the wonderful tradition! read more

Our family would like to thank Tony Packo's and our wonderful server Amber for a memorable dinner on Friday, June 12, 2025. We returned to our hometown to honor our late father and to dine at the original Tony Packo's, one of his favorite restaurants. As children he took us there to hear the Cake Walkin' Jazz Band and enjoy an authentic Toledo tradition. Although the band was not playing that evening, we nonetheless recaptured the nostalgia of those visits with our dad. Amber's friendly and attentive service made our evening special. My mother, who is Hungarian and an excellent cook of traditional Hungarian dishes, gave her thumbs up. At the end of the meal Amber kindly offered to take a family photo to preserve the memory of the night. Tony Packo's never disappoints and they proved it once again on June 12. Thank you for the memories. We look forward to returning soon! read more

I had the coleslaw which was excellent, my wife had the cucumber salad, a favorite of hers she said was very good. Waitresses were attentive through our meal. Worth a stop! read more

Cucumber salad was good. The rest of my family got stuffed cabbage platters and they liked it a lot.

Tony Packo's - Roast beef platter with cucumber salad and Paprikas Dumplings - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Tony Packo's famous hot dog is actually a delicious flavorful Hungarian Kolbasz sausage. The sliced sausage is placed in a hot dog bun topped with mustard,chopped onions, their house dog sauce and shredded cheese. Their stuffed cabbage was tender and tasty- the filling consists of; ground beef, ground pork, rice and seasoning, hand rolled- cooked in a sour cream tomato sauce- delicious. The fried pickles were sweet with a hint of heat- very tasty. Packo's famous chili was good, it reminded me of a good hotdog chili, except for the red kidney beans in the chili. Packo's made famous from the TV show M*A*S*H. Excellent customer service. read more
