Good hometown food - don't try to count your calories here! Service is always fast and friendly. Great breakfast place. Parking can be a little difficult but there is additional parking in the back lot. read more

Simple cheap and good. I'm from New Jersey originally so I have a high standard for diners. I've been to a lot. This place made me feel at home. Will be back for sure. read more

The food is excellent and the prices are not bad for what you get. I personally get the Haystack which is scrambled eggs on top of biscuits and gravy. Usually pretty busy unless you get there early. They don't have a ton of servers to stay on top of the busy times. They do their best and food is excellent though. read more

Good food with decent portions for the price. A deluxe will get you a cup of soup (chicken dumplings was good) and choice of potato. Nice staff and a good experience. We'll be back. All three kid where satisfied with the food too. read more

Tony's Diner - Breaded tenderloin - American Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Had their meat lovers skillet for breakfast. It was good! Everyone was very friendly. Will be back for their fried chicken!

This restaurant is great. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I always enjoy the BLT & my daughter loves the taco salad. Once you place an order, your food is always delivered very fast and hot. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants to eat at & I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal! read more

Love this restaurant in my neighborhood! The food is yummy and the wait staff is very friendly and welcoming. I come here for breakfast and always order the same thing, which I never have to do because the ladies know I never pick anything other than the haystack. If you haven't stopped in- you should soon! read more

Enjoyed a nice lunch at Tony's. Friendly service, a typical diner menu. Food was well prepared and served quickly. We had a reuben and patty melt. The soup was excellent. Amy served us with a smile and was attentive. The service was excellent. Glad we gave Tony's a try! read more

I ordered the steak on bread even though I thought it was a weird combo. It was the best ever. The broccoli soup was very good. The salad wasn't the best. It was just lettuce and dressing. I wouldn't order the salad again. read more

Great service and food. We had coffee almost immediately. The servers were all helpful and we enjoyed our breakfast so much we had to come back the next day. Get there early because it is a popular place. In a day when mediocre service in a restaurant is the norm, it's nice to find a place with great service and food. read more

We just had breakfast here. Everything was great. I had the chopped steak and eggs, steak was cooked perfectly to my specifications. Hashbrowns were buttery tasting and nicely browned. Eggs were cooked exactly to our request. Service was top notch. A great place for good, well-cooked food at reasonable prices! read more

The breakfast steak was good but I could taste how old the oil was in the hash browns. If they clean their grills and don't let the grease burn to them that won't happen. Otherwise the place looked nice and the staff was friendly but you don't go to restaurants for the staff, you go for the food. read more

My bf and I stopped by there today for lunch. I had something called chicken supreme, and it was phenomenal. The fries were very crispy too. My bf got Italian beef, and he said his was very good too. We will definitely go back! read more

My dad really wanted to try this place and I really didn't care. We walked in and I figured that the food would be fine, nothing extravagant or extraordinary. I was expecting nothing more than diner food and I was fine with that. But...... OMG when I received my delicious patty melt and warm soup I was amazed. We both LOVED our food and are super excited to go back. I have already recommended this place to my friends and family. It was simple looking and the food looked ok but it was AMAZING! I'm sure you will love it too!! read more

Wow...good food, clean and kind service! Couldn't ask for anything better! We will be back when we are passing through Bloomington! Thanks, Ozzie and family! read more

Great service and food. Reasonable prices and clean facility. And all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

We were out and about a few evenings ago, and decided to stop in for supper..what luck. They had prime rib on the menu board and that's what i ordered..it did NOT disappoint. It was a generous portion and cooked to perfection..my wife, who is not a steak fan, took a little bite and remarked how tasty the meat was. We are taking the kids there this evening and i expect all will be happy with their meal and service. read more

The corned beef hash was very good, and service was great: Breakfast came out nice and hot.

In town for hockey camp and my girls and I wanted to find someplace different than the chain restaurants. While nothing special to look at on the outside, the service quickly made up for it. The food options covered many varieties: American, Italian, Asian, Fish, Breakfast, many salads and sandwiches. read more

This place is great. Food is fresh and home made. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our family or 6. We had a lot of tacos a burrito and a few quesadillas. All was very tasty. We will be back, happy to have found this gem! read more

Food is good home cooking. It is VERY loud on Sundays mornings and you cant hardly have a conversation with the people at your table. They need to do something to absorb the sound. read more

Good food and attentive service from very pleasant staff. A solid option in the area.

Very good food for a decent price. Parking can be a problem. Waitress was outstanding.

Went in here with my boyfriend, was not acknowledged when we walked in for s good while. Only a few other diners in the establishment. After being seated took a good while to ask what we wanted to drink. Reviewed the menu and nothing special. Nothing that I couldn't make at home. Could tell by food other patrons had and the menu pictures NOTHING is homemade. All out of a can or frozen. Not the reason I come eat at a restaurant. I want better than what I can eat at home. Ending up leaving cause the food was disgusting and wait staff was not pleasant. Not to mention the extra parking next door with the empty building is an eyesore. read more

This is an awesome place for breakfast at anytime coffee is always fresh and quick fast great service

Traditional diner food. Nice, newly refurbished interior and exterior. Friendly staff. All day breakfast. Great place if you want diner food with no surprises. read more

See all

This places Waffles were awesome, I also liked their side dish Raisin Bread. I gave this place five stars and I stand by it very strongly.

We had a party of 6 and arrived at Tony's around 5:30 on a Saturday night. Thought we might have to wait but were seated right away. Restaurant was probably 90% full. Our waitress was very good and took time with us even though she was extremely busy. Each of us had a different entre and one a breakfast. All of us were totally satisfied with the quality of the food, fast service and reasonably priced. Delicious. We will be back. No frills but great place to eat. read more

After too many burgers this was a welcome change. A comfortable family restaurant with a good selection of sandwiches and plates. We did lunch on a Wednesday and had no problems. The server was attentive and access was easy. read more

I've tried this place a few different times for both breakfast and lunch. The first time I went was right after it opened, I tried one of the skillets, which had under cooked hash browns and just so much food it was cold and gelatinous before I even got half way into it. I figured it might have been a opening hiccup and tried again a month or so later. This time I ordered hash browns on the side and asked for them to be crispy. What I got was a few crispy pieces on top and once again, under cooked almost raw hash browns underneath. Since they struck out twice on breakfast I tried one of their lunch items and while the fries my husband ordered were tasty, the salad I ordered looked like it was cut with a hatchet. At first I thought there was a mistake and this must just be my husbands burger toppings but nope, I was informed that was indeed my salad. Just a tip, but when you slice onions and tomatoes for salads they shouldn't be 3 inches thick. I really wanted to like this place since I live close by, and love locally owned restaurants but there's really nothing I can't do better at home. *Edited to add the portions are insanity and I can't imagine how high the food costs are. Maybe if they focused more on quality and flavor instead of just overfilling people on sub par food they would have a better run of it. read more

One of my favorite places in Bloomington for breakfast. They have some of the best Omelets around. The wait staff is very kind and thoughtful, too! read more

Thought we would give Tony's a try and I'm glad we did! Food was delicious and prices are reasonable. Will go back for lunch definitely.

Stopped in for breakfast. Good food, good portions, friendly staff, and good service. Nice way to start the day! I'd recommend checking the new diner out. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Very good food!!! Great staff!!! I had a cheeseburger and fries and my husband had beef ravioli. Loved the broccoli cheese soup!!

I was not expecting much, so when I was so pleasantly surprised I just had to give Tony's 4 Stars. We stopped by on our way back into Bloomington hoping to get a quick bite that was not "drive thru". We had a dinner salad and the the daily soup (Bean and chicken noodle). Salad, was fresh and crisp and soups were outstanding. My husband had the fried chicken and said it was very good. I ordered grilled pork chops that were great. Prices are as good as the food. read more

Love this locally owned business. Everything is very good and reasonably priced. Great diner. I love the fried chicken and the taco salad is great. The catfish is good as well. The waitstaff is very friendly. read more

Excellent service, very good food. Serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good food selection. Parking was a problem due to growing popularity which they are addressing. We will definitely go back. read more

Great food!!!! Came with a good friend. Very happy with food and service. Ribeye for breakfast was awesome!!!

I've eaten at Tony's a few times. The food is good, the prices are reasonable, portion size is good. I love going out for breakfast so usually go here on the weekends and have been once for dinner. Today I went on a weekday because I had the day off work. There was one waitress working the entire restaurant by herself and also running the cash register. I overheard her telling people "It's like this every morning, I'm used to it." I could understand if it was slow but it wasn't, several of the booths and tables were full. I had to wait quite a while to put my order in and the waitress didn't have time to check on me even once or bring me my ticket. I finally just went up to the register to pay. I felt bad for her and I'm disappointed that the owners would put her in that position. They are always busy when I'm there so I think they could afford to have two waitresses working the breakfast shift. read more

Went to Tony's for dinner. My wife had the roast beef with mashed potatoes and I had the gyro platter. The gyro was good, the roast beef and especially the potatoes were meh. Service was very prompt. Total tab for meals with soft drinks was $21. So, I view this as a place to go grab a quick and inexpensive burger when we don't feel like cooking, and one could take a family there for decent food without blowing your restaurant budget for the month. read more
