We loved this little town. And TONY's is the best. I love clam chowder and this hands down is the best I ever had. I plan to buy some to be shipped to me to get me through until we get back to the island. The staff was very friendly and the fresh grouper yum yum!!!! more

We had read that they had won a contest for their clam chowder and having being raised in the northeast I had to try it. WOW ! it was fantastic. So good in fact that we ordered some to send to the family back in Wisconsin. We had the fried Grouper and shrimp lunch platter and it was very good... more

Everybody in town steered us to Tony's but when we walked in we were not greeted, the atmosphere was cold and uninviting, we waited a long time to be served and eventually walked out without ordering. The menu items were expensive. more

Tony's is always concerned when our guests are inconvenienced. We are a small restaurant with limited space. We strive to greet all customers as quickly as possible. Occassionally we may miss someone. Fortunately most are willing to wait a minute and at least give our food a try before leaving and writing a negative review. All of our seafood is...

My family and I love Tony's Seafood Restaurant it is the greatest seafood I have ever tasted. Even my soon to be Mother-In-Law loves the seafood even though she is not a big fan of shrimp, she is absolutely in love with the amazing shrimp here. Even though I work for another restaurant in Cedar Key, I still recommend Tony's... more

We have been to Cedar Key a number of times and always eat at Tony's. The Chowder is the best ever, and the rest of the food is fresh, tasty and well prepared. Good service tops off a very pleasant meal each time we dine there. And now they will ship the chowder to us by FedEx, so we can... more

My husband and I had lunch at Tony's. I ordered the "World Champion Clam Chowder" and it was absolutely delicious. We're originally from New England, and we're pretty particular about clam chowder, but there was something about this one that we couldn't identify that made it unique and special. My husband had the fried oyster sandwich plate, and it was... more

We've visited Cedar Key a number of times over the past few years. Every time we go, we end up at Tony's Seafood. Cedar Key is small and there aren't very many restaurants to begin with. A number of them are average, but when I'm on vacation I want to eat good food. Tony's seafood has never let us down.... more

If you want to visit a seafood restaurant and have the old time fisherman's feeling, then Tony's is the place to go. The food is well prepared and the service is great. You will be made to feel at home and the Chef will greet you if possible. Be sure to try the FAMOUS CLAM CHOWDER. For a special treat,... more

I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I'm from New England and I've eaten a lot of chowder. But, it really is that good. I think the secret ingredient is cheddar cheese. Whatever it is, the chowder is fantastic. I've had 3 meals from Tony's. A grouper sandwich was excellent although I don't know why I have to pay $1 extra... more

While visiting Cedar Key, you must go to Tony's for the clam chowder. The best in the world! Don't even think about adding pepper because it is spicy enough on its own. Great service and atmosphere although it is not waterfront dining. more
