After living in Chicago for several years, I grew fond of the Chicago Dog, so the chili dog offered at Tony Packo's was a bit of a shock. Split sausage covered in their special chili sauce. The food is okay, and I can see how it could grow on a person. The pickles are great. I would not recommend that... more

We loved this place. Easy to find under the Skyway bridge off 280 at Front Street. While Packo's is all about the hot dogs, don't miss an opportunity to enjoy the Chicken Paprikas...a Hungarian Chicken and Dumplings dish. Their special dry meat sauce is perfectly spiced for Packo's dogs. But give the slaw dog and the pickles a try too.... more

I am a native of the Birmingham neighborhood where this restaurant is located. I now live in Columbus, OH and although the number of restaurants here far outnumber those in Toledo, the type of cuisine served at this restaurant is nowhere to be found where I live now. First of all, I noticed that the food is primarily described on... more

Tony Packo's is a must stop if you are in Toledo. I have read some of the reviews stating that if you do not like chili that is a little spicy you might not be a huge fan of the chili dogs but I do not like spicy food/chili at all and I find the dogs to be glorious. Eating... more

Tony's is a Toledo tradition. The food isnt too bad, but really it is more oriented toward 'tourists' in Toledo. This is the place you take your friends who were into 'M*A*S*H'. Last time I went there, my food was under cooked, and over priced. 2 of us ate lite there for $20....really, it's not worth that much. If you... more

Everyone says you need to go Tony Packo's when visting Toledo. Been there. Done That. Won't go back. We visited the original one on Front St. It's neat to look at all the hot dog buns on display that were signed by famous people but the food is nothing to brag about plus it's priced about twice what others charge.... more

Tony Packo's has a great reputation from the TV show M.A.S.H. We went to the location across from the ballpark when a game was not being played. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, it was clean, and even had a gift shop! We ordered the fried pickles which I recommend -- just watch out for that red sauce because it... more

I've not been here for 10+ years so I decided to introduce my family to it. First, when I recalled last I was there, there use to be a piano or band there? It no longer is there. The food was average, especially the chili dog. The stuff cabbage was a little better. Very good service. I was actually expecting... more

The MOAD (Mother of all dogs) is huge, an entire sausage on a monster roll/bun. It's delicious. Their sides are decent as well. A great stop if you are in town visiting or catching a game at the staduim. more
