Tony's is a chain really. For as long as we've lived in IL we've never been to a Tony Roma's which is famous for ribs. There was 4 of us. We had the St. Louis ribs, a burger, a filet and chicken. The ribs were dry and flavorless. Everything else was average at best. We did have a starter, their trio of buffalo chicken bites, onion loaf and a spinach and artichoke dip. The loaf was not cooked enough. The dip was the best part of the meal. Overall the place was a bit too dark and not really inviting. We wouldn't go back.

Our waitstaff was lacking even moderate attention I understand that not all time issues in a restaurant fall upon the server but she should will keep her customers aware of the kitchen debacles (if there were such). A burger (the Geddy) and a Ham & Cheese sandwich ...even with onion rings (very good) should not take 40+ minutes from order. Before getting to the table - without anything from the service staff explaining what's up.So summary.Food tasty.

We visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening while on a convention visit in Bloomington-Normal. My wife, who doesnt eat beef or pork, ordered the stuffed chicken but was informed they were all out of stuffing! She got some chicken tenders, which were merely ok. I got the bangers and mash. The potatoes were ok, but the sausages were skinny little links and disappointing. I would have liked to have seen some more vegetable options on the menu besides mashed potatoes. We will not be going back.

The food was good but way overpriced for what you received. Kind of a arrogant attitude with the staff. The staff praised the food but didn't think it was that good. Probably won't be back again.

Cool vibe and we love the history. Service was above average and food was phenomenal! I had the BLT flatbread- probably the best flatbread Iâve ever eaten. Hubbyâs seafood Alfredo was also amazing.

It has been more than six years since I last reviewed this restaurant and in that time the food has steadily declined in quality. Recently tried lunch and dinner two days in a row and found the food was consistently of mediocre quality. The burger bun was dense and undercooked. The burger meat flavor seemed under seasoned. The turkey sandwich the next day lunch was insubstantial and fell apart. The fries were good. Although the food was mediocre, the service and the beer remain good. The kitchen needs intervention.

two families celebrating college student birthday, October 2019easy to find, easy to park.lots of seating broken up into several areas by high walls. nice bar seating area w/ TV'swas not overly impressed by their in house beer selections; if you like IPAs you'll be happy; not much on the lager side; they do offer several flight options.their food is very good. appetizers... try the asparagus sticks, tasty; entrees.. sea bass, trout, pork chops, chicken sandwiches.. all were very good... wife & I thought the highlight of our dishes was the accompanying items.ambiance is a bit loud due to the high flat walls but our table of eight seemed to all be able to communicate fine... even with other tables seated close by.service was excellent!would i go back?yes, but only for the food. they've got a really good looking menu.Thank you for the feedback; we're glad you and your group enjoyed your visit. We'll be certain to pass along your suggestions in regards to the beer list to our brewer. We're always focused on having a variety in regards to styles and seasonal options. We look forward to hosting you on your next visit.Cheers.

Went with six friends who live in the area on a Sunday night at 6:30 pm. There were only 4 other tables in the entire restaurant. We ordered drinks which took 15 minutes to get. Ordered dinner and the calamari appetizer which came 30 minutes later and was cold and they then brought another which was better. Ordered unsweetened ice tea and requested a sugar substitute 4 different times and finally went and asked the hostess if she could please get me some. Took 30 minutes to get it!!! Asked for a refill on my ice tea and our wait person filled my glass with ice tea out of a pitcher and had to request ice as it was warm. Finally got or entrees 1 hour and 30 minutes later ( and the place was dead). Friend ordered the jambalaya which was so spicy he could barely eat it, but didnât say anything. Wife ordered the shrimp cocktail which was terrible. My salmon was ordered medium rare and came way over cooked. Absolute disaster and how this place gets good ratings is beyond me. Iâd give it a minus 3 if possible.

I've been going here for over 3 decades and it's STILL my favorite family go-to when I'm in town. This place is known for alot of things, including their fried mushrooms and fried ravioli, but it's the magnificent A La Baldini pizza that always brings me back time and again! It's a great place for friends, family, and couples.
