Tony's Kitchen is the house on the block that everyone goes to hang out and eat comfort food. This hidden gem on the corner serves up some great tasting meals. The menu is typical of greasy spoon without being "greasy". The staff treats you like visiting your grandparents without the attitude or awkwardness. Service and temps are on point. Ordered Heuvos and Jamon and an egg sandwich to go. The sides and toast were toasted perfectly and the eggs overeasy. The prices at Tony's Kitchen are a third of what you would pay at MDW. Warning, the coffee is strong and will put hair on your chest. Tony's Kitchen deserves a well earned five stars.

Just ate here and wow! The owner is the nicest guy and he makes it all fresh right in front of you. I ordered a meat lover's skillet and was surprised to see him pull out whole peppers, onions, and sausages and slice them all on the cutting board just for me! Also his pancakes are as good or better than any of the ones I've had at "pancake houses". It's a cash only place but the prices are extremely low especially considering the current economic climate. I can't wait to come back and try his other food!

Definitely not the best food but for the price you pay the food is an amazing deal. For under $10 there are plenty of options for one to enjoy. The portion size was big enough to fill me up. Be wary the restaurant is cash only! The chef was kind and talkative overall I enjoyed the interaction.
