Josh, What a gem. Every owners dream employee. ( maybe he was the owner) Warm greeting at the door. Wonderful attentive table side service. My burger was not only the best I've ever had. "love hater " But it was Cooked how I asked. Garlic fries made on house. Loved the skin still on the potato strips. Wife had a veggie burger. HUGE... she added a veggie patty to it. Josh took the time to tell us about other menu options that were beef free. ( I love beef.... Wife. Not so much. ) Josh single handedly made me want to return tomorrow. And then the next. And the next. Next...
Tony's is great for burgers and fries. Service was good, but they mixed up my order a bit. I asked for no onion on my burger, but instead, there was no lettuce. Not a huge deal. The burger was still good. The fries and onion rings were also good. The ambiance is pretty basic for a burger spot, but a fun place to have lunch.
We were a group of 6. Our table enjoyed Greek salad, Blue salad, taco salad, Chili dog, mozzarella sticks, Onion rings and a burger. Everyone said they loved theirs! One guy said "Best taco salad I've ever had." My margarita was delish so I had two! Ambiance is nice and quiet even tho they got busy. Maybe just good acoustics? Servers were nice and helpful. For a casual place this gets very high marks from us! I love the choices of several fries, the burgers are picture worthy (we weren't that hungry on this day) AND they have milkshakes! Hard to find back in the corner but definitely worth a trip to check this place out!
SUMMARY: Great Sauces (Ranch and Garlic Aioli), Everything needed a little salt. Fresh potatoes on the fries - think in n out but thicker and crispy. I have to say I was a little disappointed. Everything just needed a little salt. Onion rings: 6.7/10 would've given it a solid 7/10 if they had some salt. Classic beer batter making them crispy and fresh. French Fries: 7.4/10 even without the salt I have to say the cook on the fries was just how I like it. They taste like thicker cut and crispier in n out fries. If you like the fresh potatoey flavor of in n out fries you will love these. Just make sure to add salt! Mushroom Swiss Burger: 6.1/10 I'm sad to say that I was disappointed with this. My patty lacked the juicy beefy flavor I'm looking for in a thick burger, largely due to the lack of salt. I also asked for it to be medium but you can clearly see it's well done. Sauces: Ranch: 8.1/10 this was a very good restaurant ranch not very zesty and a little more on the sweet side. Garlic Aioli: 7.6/10 this was creamy and garlicky!
I visited with friends, a party of six. The service was a bit slow at first, it was quite busy but our food came out fairly fast. The portions are big; the fries combo was enough for all six of us, although I could have easily had my own. I ordered the Mini Blue, and my partner got the Texas burger, they were both very flavorful and satisfying. A great spot for casual, delicious burgers in CT
Well I've been back to Tony's over the years and needs an updated review. Now they do have some of the best burgers in the valley! Great selection of food and burgers. Service has been excellent. They remodeled years ago that give it a cool relaxing ambiance. Give it a try as you can't go wrong with their huge selection of burgers and other items on their menu. Grab a burger a beer and chill out.
Been here many times but tonight was weird. Ordered Tony's cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese and a half order fries. Also glass of house cabernet and an 805 draft beer. Within 4 minutes server comes out and says I lost your order so we said again what we wanted. 2 minutes later has a burger in his hands and fries and says sorry we don't have pepper jack. He asked if American was okay. We said yes and he hands us the cheeseburger in hand and fries. Whoa weird as hell. Brings drinks later and so we ate. Comes back and says sorry next time you are in I will give you a half order fries. My wife spoke up and said we will take those now. Just a weird experience thus the three stars. Burger was great but it and fries could have been hotter.
We have frequented Tony's Burgers several times during our 3-4 month stay in the desert gor years! Every time, the food and service has been excellent. Tony's is usually crowded!!! This time, we suggested meeting friends for dinner at Tony's ...on a Saturday night and found it nearly empty (perhaps 6 tables of customers ). The vibrancy and excited social buzz was missing! We ordered our usual burgers with onion rings ...but the food was different. Not as stellar. The meat was lackluster and small and warm, not hot off the grill (even though it likely WAS. It seems they are using a less expensive meat. We completely understand the restaurant business is struggling overall due to increased food prices, wages and taxes, and we are willing to pay a bit more to support locally owned businesses. We were disappointed: the burgers were no longer as creatively special and extraordinarily tasty. The service was still 2nd to none, however we hope Tony's can find a way to weather this current expensive environment.
absolutely adored the staff here!!! they were so welcoming, accommodating, & just super great vibes! it's burger galore in here with endless options & you'll forsure find a burger that suits your preferences! i can't remember what i got... but man was that burger juicy!!! it was the biggest burger i've ever tackled, could barely put my mouth on it. i was able to save half the burger for later because it was so filling.
I like my burger big and juicy and Tony's burger definitely delivered it. It's better than my expectations and I'm glad I tried this place. Definitely it's a big burger and I'm glad I shared with my husband. The meat is juicy and tender and there's a good balance between the burger, veggies and buns. The kids chicken tender is not dry at all and they have a lot of fries with it. Service was fast and decent. Definitely a hole in the wall burger place.
My wife and I have been watching our carb intake for the past few years and found Tony's Burgers on Yelp. We saw that they had a nice selection of salads and decided to give them a try. As lovers of blue cheese, we ordered their Big Blue Burger Salad. Let me tell you, it's everything a salad should be and more! A prefectly grilled large burger patty sits on a mountain of mixed greens along with thinly sliced red onion, cucumbers, diced tomatoes and a generous amount of blue cheese crumbles. The blue cheese dressing was on point too. This huge salad left a big guy like me feeling very full and satisfied. Tony's is now our go-to place for salads when visiting the Coachella Valley. By the way, their other dishes looked amazing too as we saw the plates the waitresses were delivering to other tables.
I guess the first thing to note is the vibe, because it's very cool. The place feels like the restaurant version of Cheers. The servers might not know your name, but I've never had a server that wasn't helpful and nice. Parking can be busy, but never difficult. So now the food. I've eaten here a lot over the years and I've never had a bad meal. The garlic fries are awesome and everything from burgers to salads and tacos, delicious. My sole complaint, some burgers are so tall it's impossible to eat them like a regular burger. So, this spot is a solid 5/5. Not crazy expensive, nice staff, good food, easy in and out. Give it a try. read more
*Tony the Burger Tiger* In case you didn't know, Tony used to be the chef at Grill-A-Burger in Palm Desert...then 14 years ago, Antonio followed his dream & ambition to open up his own burger joint. Tho I haven't dined here before, I've made my presence known, and previously checked out the place to inquire ~~ more than once. I was blown away when Edgar remembered me...and thanked me & wifey for finally coming in for a little late-night dinner/snack. Wifey was craving onion rings...so whatever she wants she gets ~~ with limits that is ;) Since her favorite onion rings are 130 miles away in LA (Culver City) at Johnnie's Pastrami, we've been searching for a good back-up. Heard & read a lot of great things about their beer battered onion rings. We were not disappointed. Make sure to splurge and spend the extra 2 bucks for a full order instead of a half. Wifey enjoyed her mini burger...and it was the perfect size. The bun was fresh and held up well, which is always important. I went off the board and wanted just a simple plain burger patty, because I wasn't too hungry. But that's one of the best ways to judge quality. No bells no whistles. Just the beef...and a knife & fork. Like a good steak. It was tender & juicy and I was a very happy camper. h2O was all we needed on this night...and refills were fulfilled voluntarily. As expected, Edgar provided excellent customer service...and we all shared some playful banter throughout our dining experience. Tony's Burgers is a very chill & cozy place. It's darkly lit. There's lots of booths to sit comfortably...and lots of flatscreen tvs on the walls showing sports. There's a large bar area too with stools. I can see why this place is so popular with the locals. Looking forward to our next visit. {{{Big~High~5}}} read more
Best burger I've had in a long time! I got the "El Infierno" burger which was loaded with toppings and was one hefty beast. You can customize or mod any of their burgers to your liking. I added raw red onions, garlic and garlic aioli to mine. The burger had a mild kick so no need to worry if you can't handle much heat. All the ingredients and flavors worked together well and it was delicious! I also got a full order of their garlic fries and they were fantastic! Tossed with olive oil and loads of fresh minced garlic, they are heavy on the garlic flavor. If you love the garlic fries at Dodgers Stadium, you'll love the garlic fries from Tony's. I ordered my food for pickup. Ordering is easy online through their website, and I appreciate that it's the same price as dining in. Staff were friendly when I went to pick up the food. Everything was hot, fresh and packaged well. read more

The food is almost always delicious. They are usually great about substitutions or making something like chili fries into nachos fries. The burgers are overwhelmingly big so I usually order the sliders. The fries are delicious. My favorite are the garlic and truffle fries. The servers are a hit or miss. There are definitely servers I prefer working with over others. Also, if you are starving or impatient this isn't the restaurant for you. Sometimes food comes out quickly but sometimes there's a wait. Just enjoy the company your with and the food will come. The restaurant is quite loud and has a bar you can sit at. They also have quite a few televisions playing many kinds of sports. If there's a Dodger game, you can guarantee they have it on. We love Tony's and order from there often. read more

Best burger and friends i have had in so cal. The meat in the burger was so flavor and it was a big pattuly. I usually ditch the bun on burgers as i am not usually impressed but theirs was worth every calorie. The fries were fried perfectly i do prefer their ketchup in packets. I do come from a family that owns restaurants and my expectations of food is really high and they definitely impressed me.I will be coming back as not only the food was amazing but the staff so so nice and so attentive. read more

Not too far from the Palm Springs airport is this gem of a burger place. But don't let the name fool you --rumor has it the fish tacos are to die for. Our server Ricardo told us he joined Tony's for the tacos. The inside of the restaurant is clean and inviting. But the food was the stand out winner. I got the Cathedral City Express burger and bite after bite exposed layers of flavor. Who puts both grilled onions and fried onion strings on a burger. Tony's does. We didn't sit outside but they have a nice dog friendly patio if that's your preference. I can't wait to come back and try the fish tacos read more

The food was amazing!!!! You have to come check out tony's burgers. The service was amazing, they have the best employees who are so nice and friendly. The food is top tier, we got the texas burgers and 2 tony's cheeseburgers with the 50/50 fries and onion rings. The restaurant itself is a nice chill relaxing atmosphere which we liked a lot. Also to mention the prices are so affordable for big burgers it'll get you full forsure. I will be coming back again! :) read more

"Tony's Burger never disappoints us. The food is greasy, tasty, hot, and fresh. The drinks are a hit too - the strawberry margarita is absolutely delicious! We keep coming back for those shrimp tacos . Great ambiance, great customer service, and staff like Edgar and Josh make it even better. Looks like everyone's on the same page here. We absolutely love this place! " read more

Really enjoyed my first experience here. Sat up at the bar, got top notch service! Great options of burgers and appetizers. Wouldn't consider Tony's a sports bar but there are 5 medium size TVs that you could watch a game on. read more

California has a million "burger" places, and most of them are average at best. Tony's Burgers is truly a one of a kind, with a humongous menu, featuring hamburgers, chicken burgers, exotic burgers, mini burgers, hot dogs, salads, specialty plates, and a good kid's menu. In addition, there's always a "Daily Specials" board with various food and drink items. It's a staggering selection, so allow yourself some time to peruse the menu. They have a full bar, and my wife swears that their Paloma is one of the best she's ever had! The food has always been served hot, is quite delicious, and reasonably priced. Service is friendly, and there's always plenty of staff around to assist you. Parking is abundant. Tony's is a definite "must visit" if you're craving a really awesome burger! read more
