    Jumbo cupcake!
    Joani O.

    I live in Skokie and was headed back from the city to Jewel, when I passed Tony's and decided to stop in there instead. I had never been and wanted to see how their bakery compared, for a birthday dinner for my mom that night. I was looking for a red velvet cake, but all they had was chocolate or yellow plus a few others. I did find a jumbo red velvet cupcake which the bakery lady was happy to add birthday decorations to, plus I got their pull apart yellow and chocolate cupcakes for everyone else which we also decorated. I'd never heard of pull apart and they were so cute! Prices were great too and this selection was perfect for our small family. They were delicious!! At checkout I saw a jumbo balloon and after asking the florist the price, I grabbed that too. I asked her how long it would last and said she had just inflated it that morning so it would last a few days. I was very disappointed to find it looking deflated by the time I got home!! (See my picture.) I didn't have time to look around the store but I would try again, maybe just sticking with groceries and not balloons.

    Proof of purchase receipt

    Beware this is how Tony does their business. My brother bought 1 bread for $1.99 and they charged him 46 breads total of $91.54 dollars. He didn't check his receipt until got home. Took him 1/2 hour drive back to the market then get in long line to get his money back and no apology from store at all. 千萬要小心看你的收條每次在Tony 買東西. 真可怕 買一條麵包收46條麵包的價錢

    I know when you understand what I am saying. Not too old to give a crap!

    Hi I was shopping for myself and my friend. The cashier kept asking about my shopping bags. She kept pushing my groceries to the side . I asked her about bagging my groceries. She said no. I told her the Kefir rang up incorrectly at 3.79 They were marked 2 for 5 Last time I stopped in there were no grocery carts. People standing around with groceries in their arms. I complained to the Mgr that day. He tells me the customers steal them. Loads of carts now. Let me give you free advice When old people pay the most they don't shop at your store.

    Great store to shop. Always serve low price meats and fresh produce. Store is also clean and restroom aswell. Sometimes its hard to park at ground level parking. So you have to go around and park at the 2nd floor.

    The avocados are sold in a bag, not individually. Now they are still cheap but they aren't 40 cents. Try to read & find the fine print.

    I have shopped here regularly since they opened, almost ten years ago. This is a true Love/Hate relationship. Keep reading to find out what happens in Episode 1. On the positive side, Tony's offers the best variety of produce, bread, 'cultural' foods and pricing in the area. Solid deli and bakery as well. On the average side, lies the butcher and seafood. You don't need to try it - one look in the counter will tell you everything. On the negative side, and it is a really huge one, they play games with their pricing in a way that no other supermarket comes close. Examples - a huge bold sale sign in front of all the shredded cheese that says $1.99. You grab one thinking that's a steal, only to find out you had to buy 3. Cashier charges you $3.99. Turns out the 'when you buy 3' was at the bottom of the sale sign in a very small font. They do that with everything. The majority of the sales are when you buy multiple of the product, and if you don't look carefully you won't see it. Eggs seem cheap. Sure. If you buy 5 dozen. Cause everybody needs 5 dozen eggs. To compliment that fine attribute, the legit sale items that don't require multiple purchases don't always show up on the register so you get charged the full price. And you won't figure that out till you look at your receipt. I often have to take photos to show the cashier lest you wait forever while some unavailable person never goes to find out what the item should cost. I have talked to the store managers a number of times about the issue, and they just shrug their shoulders and try to find a way to show how you were wrong. Or they blame the private equity type firm that took over Tony's. You'll also find they never ever have enough cashiers so the checkout lines are terrible. And sadly, many of the customers are from lower incomes, and aren't the cheeriest, understandably, but that affects the employees, so the entire place exudes a vibe of misery. Combined with the sick game show you'll find yourself on while you figure out 'what's the catch on the sale price.' makes a trip to Tony's an adventure that isn't always worth the savings. If you haven't noticed, there is a lot of animosity here on the negative side, but I keep going back for more. Maybe this should be titled, "Tony's - Abusive relationship in Aisle 7. And Aisle 4. And...."

    All the receipts from utter incompetence
    Matt D.

    I went shopping there today, there produce is sub par, the green onions were horrible with huge roots, I bought a daikon with no leaves, they're typically trimmed when trying to hide freshness. The meat used to have a longer date range now it's all 3 days from expiration. I went through checkout and the employee couldn't figure out a price so he made me run my link card and credit card three times, then I asked I've used my link card, when I swipe my credit card it's just for a two dollar remainder he said yes and charged the whole thing to my credit card. So I asked someone who looked like a manager for help and she said go through aisle one and she'll take care of it. Well after the checker scanned all of my groceries again she said she couldn't return the amount to my credit card and I was told to go to customer service. So I went to customer service and waited in line for about 10 minutes. I had my receipt and was told they had to scan all my items again. I have just had major back surgery and all this extra time was causing me excruciating pain. Finally they charged my Link card and returned the money to my bank account. I said thank you and left, came home and they didn't even give my my Daikon as they had to figure out what it was then weigh it and never gave it back to me. What should have been a 45 minute trip to the store took almost two hours having to check out three times leaving me in horrible pain and then not even giving me all of my groceries. The height of incompetence never again.

    Bakery Team is amazing! They never fail me. Custom cakes and cupcakes. All the kids have named Tony's cupcakes "The Best Cupcakes Ever"! Keep up the good work! Tony's Management - get your bakers more help. They deserve it.

    Tony's on Lincoln Ave just north of Foster
    Phil S.

    Tony's is located on Lincoln just north of Foster Ave. This use to be a Dominick's, but we all know what happened to Dominick's. Many of the stores were converted to Mariano's. This was the first time I have been to this location. That being said I don't understand how this store can have such inconsistent reviews. As you may know there is a small parking lot at street level along Lincoln Avenue, but it fills up quickly. There is also a parking lot on the second level. There are 2 Ginormous elevators bigger then a hospital elevator. You can almost pull your car into it and go down to the first floor. How cool would that be a drive through grocery store. Here's what I don't understand. The store is clean very well stocked and has almost anything you want. I hear they run specials every week. I bought about 4.5 lbs of cod for $4.99/lb & 2 thick rib eyes about 1 1/2" thick for $4.99/lb. they have a nice salad bar, hot food bar a small sushi selection, cheeses, produce, bakery area nice size meat area, yet they have a low rating. They also have a nice deli area where I grabbed a corned beef sandwich w/mozzarella. Ok so it's not Manny's or Kaplan's, but it's also not $15 for the sandwich. When I'm in the area I will probably stop by, but I will make sure I eat first so I don't start throwing anything into my cart that looks good.

It is within walking distance, which is a plus, though I do watch the prices and go to Mariano's or Jewel when they offer more for less. EVERYONE at the meat/cheese counter is great, and friendly. They really do know their stuff, though at times, I wish they had a ticketed numbered system. It would prevent me from going off on some of the older Eastern Euro clientele when they try to butt in line. NOT happening! The cashiers are efficient, though there is a tall male one that is new to me. Feels like his name should be Draco. Would almost pass for AI, due to his height an personality, though AI can be programmed to be charming and efficient. He literally saw me put down items on the belt and looked like he was confused as to what his role was, then asked me if I wanted a bag for all my purchases, despite it being obvious that I had none with me. I had to get snippy, because, well, I had to get snippy. Oprah did mention them in one of her shows, so they got "trendy" afterwards, but as other reviewers have said, they do carry items that you would find more at a Treasure Island than a Jewel, Aldi, or Mariano's. They are good for that. Now, if they would only work on their AI cashiers and make them more personable, then I would give them a five star rating. Especially since peeps in the hood voted down Amazon from taking over and planting seeds on the corner of Western and Lawrence, to take over the grocery store market.
