Nestled conveniently along the bustling boardwalk, this restaurant specializes in iconic dishes like Hot Italian Sausage, Chicken Cheese Steak, and crispy Fries that keep locals and visitors coming back.

Honestly the cheesesteaks were as good as the best ones in Philly. We got peppers and onions on there and it was an A+. What a pleasant surprise! The cheese was especially good.

Pretty good place to get a bite to eat on the Boardwalk. They serve typical Boardwalk food, and I ordered the cheese steak and fries. The food came out pretty quickly, and tasted okay. I’ve certainly had better cheese steaks, but it’s pretty good for quick boardwalk food. The staff was also nice and the prices weren’t bad. I’d recommend going here if you’re looking for a nice quick bite to eat on the Boardwalk.

Sometimes I feel like I come to asbury park just for a sweet Italian sausage from Tony’s. The people are the best and always so welcoming. We are always happy when we come here and have been doing it for years. Don’t forgot to order the fries!!!

The last 4 times that my wife and I visited the Asbury Park boardwalk, we made sure to stop and eat here. The sweet sausage with peppers and onions has the perfect balance of sweet & salty. Plus, there's a little picnic area right alongside, which is great by itself, but if there's a performance going on at the Summer Stage, you get free entertainment to boot!
