    Spicy half-smoke

    Both were . Great staff, too. Prices can't be beat. You'll never be disappointed at Tony's Place.

    Potato wedges or steak fries

    The worst food I ate in DC. Location was the Kennedy street location. So happy that door dash refunded it because it went in the trash. The photo is supposed to be of their potato wedges. I ordered their fried wings too because I heard they were good here and nope Popeyes is way better. I ordered "fresh fruit" that was supposed to be melon and mango and it was some hard not even yellow pineapple.

    Sometimes I think reviewing places like Tony's is a waste of time and energy, but what the hell? So I placed and order for chicken cheese steak, fries, spicy half smoke, bacon and cheese sandwich. Chicken cheese steak was dry and tasted old. Half smoke was actually a Johnsonville spicy smoke sausage. That's just wrong and rude. I realize half smokes are a DC thing and as a Native, I know a half smoke. That was not a half smoke. I requested cheese, onion and mustard. It came with ketchup, mustard, relish and onions. And it was a lot of all of it. YUK. The fries were dark, over cooked and dry. No one wanted them. I called the restaurant. The manager was pleasant and actually read my order back to me and said yes it was wrong and apologized for the dry nasty chicken cheese steak. I think places like this have existed so long and have been successful that they have lost the art of taking pride in presenting and preparing food. Oh let me not forget the request for a side of cole slaw only to get potato salad. The manager said since they have 3 locations the online ordering menu is not updated for each restaurant. WTH!?!?! First of all if yall cared, it would be updated. Secondly, you have the option to call me and let me decide what I want. Don't just send me what you think is a good substitute. I'm sure my review won't make that much of a difference, but maybe Tony and 'nem will work on the things that customers have complained about in their reviews. The reality is, as consumers in the DC area, we have too many options than to settle for mediocre products.

    I was in the area and noticed the place. So I decided to support small business in the area and gave this place a try. It was quite good for a small place! The only thing that I'd caution about is the beef hash, it's super oily. Mango smoothie was on point! Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

While I was tempted to order the falafel, I couldn't justify shelling out another $5 for another upcharge and spend $10 on them for a total of $26 for just an entree - when these 2 upcharges should have been included in the entree by default. Wish there were more fun vegetarian dishes on the menu. Might come back for drinks and to explore the menu!

When I realized the service charge had already been included and asked for the extra tip to be removed, the waiter told me he does not receive any portion of the 18% charge. I asked whether the expectation was for customers to leave a total of 38%, and I was told that is how it works at this restaurant and in Washington DC. I found the billing and tipping process confusing and misleading. I won't be back.

No looking around for a waiter! I was really impressed with their attentiveness. The hospitality is truly impeccable. When I gave feedback that the caesar salad was way too salty, the manager understood precisely what had gone wrong and instantly replaced it. I would have liked two meatballs rather than one, which would have felt generous, but this was not intended to be a meal, after all. We also ordered the corn and jalapeno fritters (which were probably fabulous when they were originally conceived but not currently being executed well) and for dessert a fantastic zabaglioni. Little Coco's is casual but stylish, a fun place to go, as is to be expected at all of Jackie Greenbaum's spots. Aperitivo Hour is M-F from 5-7. Highly recommend!
