Tonys Place
May 31, 2008 by Cyndi from Chicago
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[1] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[3]

• The waitress, although spread too thin, was pleasant.
• We ordered deep dish. It came as a thin crust with a tall edge!

“On the Sunday we visited Tony's, they were very busy with parties, etc. We expected to wait for our food, especially since we ordered deep dish. We were given a pitcher of pop, with no free refills. When we got our 2 pizzas 55 minutes later. I found the appearance of them very disappointing. They were a greasy mess, the cheese was so hot, it shifted from one side to the other as it was placed on the table, and the outer crust was burnt. They were cut in a strange pattern, and it was impossible to keep any of the toppings in place as we served ourselves. The biggest disappointment was the thinnest crust I have ever had in a pizza, with a tall burnt edge. It was no thicker than a pie crust and actually had about the same taste and texture. Sadly, the dough at Pizza Hut, and Little Caesers turns out better. In the future we will not revisit Tony's. To all of you travelers wishing to try Tony's on for size, remember to bring cash, they do not accept anything else.”

Sementos Napoli Cafe

• Neighborhood style bar caters to friendly people!
• Late night it's so busy, its hard to hear yourself.

“Best kept secret in town, sandwiches are full and large, served by the best servers in town, and has the coldest beer in town! Food and drink are values, not cheap like the other two bars in town. Place is clean and bathrooms are very clean, unlike two other bars in town! I recommend it highly, go often, and dont let it be a secret anymore!”

Strongbow Inn

• Food, service, and atmosphere.
• Parking lot was full with no reserved parking for my guests.

“My wife and I recently had our wedding reception at Strongbow and it was wonderful. We had about 120 people and we had the turkey buffet. As usual the turkey was excellent and the sides and salads were delicious. We also had passed champagne and hors d' voures which came out quickly to all of our guests. The wedding cake was like none I have ever tasted; with chocolate French silk between white cakes. Excellent. We had a really fun bartender for the bar and our guests stayed until management finally told us we had to leave (at 1:00 AM). Overall we had a wonderful time and will be going back again soon.”

“My husband had a dinner party for work here. The food was mediocre and expensive. The wait staff was of a very poor quality and extremely rude. When one of our coworkers asked to have her dessert boxed up to take home to her children rather than eat it there, the waitress told her no. Can you believe it? The desserts are pretty good overall. The cakes are excellent. They are probably the only things I would recommend buying from the place.”

Arby's

• I have not had a good experience there.
• There food is undercooked and there service is poor.

“My friend and I love Arby's and stopped at the Valparaiso Location once a week for 6 weeks. Mostly late at night. 5 out of 6 times, the order was wrong. Went back once, told them to fix it. Drove away and it was still wrong. 6 out of 6 times my friend ordered there potatoes cakes. Freshly Cooked. Every time they were cold and undercooked in the center. They would remake them and the outside would be great but don't get to the middle. They never once refunded our money and we had to sit and wait and still get incorrect or undone replacement orders. We will no longer go to that location and we plan to report them to the local health department for undercooked food. Management at that store can never tell you how to contact there corporate office and they always act like you are bothering them when you want an order corrected.”
