My uncle and I visited this restaurant for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere, specifically outside seating area is very scenic and has great views!
The only part that was quite unexpected was the very long line and wait time. We waited in line to order our food for about 45 minutes! Once we finally got to order, we received our food quickly but the wait time was ridiculous.
We ordered the fried lobster tails with shrimp and fries. We both enjoyed our meals. It could have used a little more seasoning but it was good.
I would have given it 4 stars but it gets 3 stars because of the ridiculous long wait time to order.

Excellent traditional, fried seafood restaurant. I went twice with family members. I had fried soft shell crabs, and calamari strips. Lovely outdoor seating adjacent to the water. Great casual self-service, self-seating. It is hard to believe you are in NYC.

Our guide book suggested that City Island was a great destination to visit, seeing that it is a fishing village. Old and quaint it is not. It is a rather dull straight road down to the water where there are some restaurants serving fish. A small jetty and a yacht or boat yard. To get there we travelled by subway as far as Pelham Bay and then by bus to the final stop. There are two restos one was shut since it was out of season so we thought we'd eat in the open one. Tonys Pier. It is a rambling wooden building built alongside the water which might have good views in summer. We entered and found an empty space with about three couples waiting at the counter to be served so we hung back to see both the menu in full and the food they had selected. We waited about fifteen minutes before any movement by the fish friers. The food in cardboard open trays appeared ok but the quantities were mean given the extortionate prices and the smell of used frying oil unappetising. Deciding against eating there we left. The food is largely unimaginative served fried fish so we don't think we missed any special dishes and cannot recommend the resto to visitors. Having said that there is an excellent "street art" on the car park wall to the restaurant which should be seen. Take sandwiches.

This is a run down, cafeteria joint that has a great view of surf, sea and skylines, but the dining room is a worn out cafeteria, with walk up windows and fast food type service. Like in school you collect your food and walk back to the old worn out table. The high price is for the view, but not the quality of the food. Dried fish, tired fries and icy watery drinks.

Can't believe how bland the food was! Omg!!! No seasoning on the fish.....WHY??? My relatives said the same thing!
Tonys.....PUT SEASONING ON YOUR FISH!!!!
I will, no, WE are not returning. Oh, and....the man calling your # was rude to my cousin! We didn't hear her # being called becuz we were trying to get $$ to buy water which was over priced at $3! When she approached the counter, he said this to her: you didn't hear me because you were on the phone! EXCUSE ME??How is that your concern?? Unacceptable!!

I like the food here. But the view is not as vast. The bar is very good and I like the frozen drinks there.

Our group chose Tony's over Jimmy's Reef across the street and we went along with that. Both are competing cafeteria-style fried food joints at the tip of City Island. Tony's decor is better, but not the food I ordered. The fish seemed refried and was dry. It wasn't improved by tartar sauce or anything else. It was also more expensive than last paid at Jimmy's. It had the advantage of a canopied outdoor eating area where one could look out on the water but be sheltered somewhat from the elements which in October can be important. Maybe in season the food is fresher.

The crab legs and oysters are to die for. The fried clams are delicious also. Great drinks and good sides. Best broiled crab legs in the Bronx

We went with a group and sat outside by the water. It's a nice atmosphere. Self serve, and cash only, but we expected that. We will go back again!

Recently visited and was extremely disappointed in the service we received. The gentleman at the bar was extremely rude and unfriendly. I asked for a strawberry daiquiri and was asked what kind of liquor I wanted in the drink to which I replied whatever liquor is usually used? (I've never been asked this when ordering a drink) I then asked for a recommendation and was told he didn't recommend anything, I should get something else if I didn't know. So I opted for a beer. Ordered a henny colada which isn't Hennessy, they use D'usse liquor and it tasted horrible. I won't be returning.

Everything was bland and simply fried to hell and back! It's like they just threw everything in a huge vat of hot oil. I didnt want to be rude bc my friends had been bragging about the place like it was the garden of Eden of seafood but I was praying for my arteries the whole time. And,speaking of gardens,the "salad" was some warm soggy coleslaw in a cup so tiny,it could hardly constitute a serving if you dared eat it. I'm sorry, but the most flavorfull things in Tony's were the condiments. Quite frankly, the second stars are for the view.

I have been coming to eat here since my parents first took me here in the 60's. It was our go to place at the end of the island. Very last restaurant on the right side, at the end of pier. Just love the shrimp with the steak fries. They do have other fish etc, but my favorite is the shrimp. Even some 30+ years the cost is well within range for a family.
