Tony's Grill

Tony’s Grill has been around the Tandang Sora Mindanao Avenue area in Quezon City for close to two decades. With a wide parking lot and plenty of space, it a great place for celebrating with friends and special occasions. And for a reasonable price that won’t break the bank (that's what the extra point goes ! Here are some of their good dishes: Nasi Goreng P195 This rich tasting Indonesian noodle dish is a great, great buy at the price. This easily feeds 3 people and it’s complete with the toppings and a huge shrimp! Fish Fillet in Vermicelli A new dish, this is a great, mildly seasoned fish in rice noodles. It’s a lovely and subtle dish, perfect for those watching their salt intake. Before we knew it, our team had scraped the serving plate clean! Mixed Seafood in Buco Shell P295 A very surprising seafood curry dish, the buco provides a counterbalance to the rich curry flavors of the dish, rounding it to a milder and creamier taste. Sizzling Sisig Original P180 A house pulutan and main dish staple, Tony’s version is crispy with a hint of heat and sweetness slightly rising above the porky, salty flavors. Interesting and really better with lots of rice or beer. Tilapia Fillet with Honey Mustard P250 Tilapia is normally a very bland but meaty fish. Fried crispy into fillets, the honey mustard dip is a nice twist. Sinuglaw P270 Tony’s version of a ceviche, very tartly made but I suspect quite great paired with an ice cold beer. Grilled Blue Marlin Belly P125/100g Tender and tasty on its own though some may find it bland. Baked Oyster P235 A good dish fresh, juicy oysters topped with ooey gooey cheese and some garlic bits make for a good appetizer and pulutan. Gambas al Ajillo P275 Interestingly served in a fried potato string basket, this is a pretty and tasty dish to look at. I liked that it wasn’t too spicy and inundated with tomato sauce so that the shrimps’ natural sweetness shone through. Crispy Pata P500 This is a classic crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce is a nice soy vinegar that balances the flavors. And attention shoppers! For a limited time, grab your Tony’s Crispy Pata to go for only P395! Thai Style Tapioca P95 This ginataan like dish is interesting and not too sweet. Mango Oatmeal Crumble P100 Unfortunately, the only thing I can try out in this dessert is the oatmeal cracker crust and I could only look at my sister happily eating away the cream and mango. (Darned allergies! . But this is an interestingly tasty crust and Tony’s version of the refrigerator cake is a nice cap to a lovely meal. I also discovered during this visit that Tony’s have several function rooms for rent with reasonable meal prices can go for as low as P350 per head. That’s nearly impossible to find in the metro. They have rooms for groups of 30 to 50, 100 and up to 200 people. There is really no reason to break the bank for good food at Tony’s.

Team kaladkarin invite! Tony’s Bar and Grille is apparently not the same with the Tony’s at Tomas Morato. We were actually invited to try the new dish and their all time recommended dishes. Nasi Goreng @195PhP This one, i am already familiar with, previously me and my office mates tried this already. This is truly good, swerving is a lot for just less than 200! The mix is filling. Fish Fillet in Vermicelli *NEW I love their new dish, cream dory in glass noodles drenched in a garlicky sauce? (I couldn’t actually call it sauce Mixed Seafood in Buco Shell (Seafood Curry @295PhP I like the presentation, but we had a difficulty eating it. My tip is you get an extra bowl and place all the seafood in it. There were shrimps, squid, fish, and crabs all good to pair with the curry sauce. My tip is you get those coconut meat off its shell, curry and coconut makes it more creamy. Sizzling Sisig Original @180PhP Love this super crunchy sisig. It got a sweet taste, which what made me love the dish. Tilapia Fillet with Honey Mastard @255PhP This one was a surprise to me. I always love fried crispy tilipia (butterflied —especially when pairing it with beer, and the honey mustard dip was such a great addition to its taste. Sinuglaw @270PhP If you like ceviche, then, you’ll gonna love this as well. Sinuglaw is a mix of pork and fish ceviche, this one is relatively sour and spicy. Grilled Blue Marlin Belly @125PhP/100gr Some bloggers defined the marlin to be bland, but for me, i like it. It’s because if you’re gonna pair it with drinks, then this is good enough. No need for extra tasty. Given that this marlin is already boneless and super tender! (Note tuna is tougher Baked Oyster @235PhP I think i have tasted better oysters, but i find this okay. Gambas al Ajillo @275PhP What’s here are spicy gambas over fried shoestring potatoes, the thing is the potatoes stood out more than the gambas. And i like the shrimp served in the nasi goreng and seafood curry. Crispy Pata @500++PhP Promo alert! Grab this crispy pata to go for only 395PhP!! Thai Style Tapioca @95PhP This is like ginataan. Mango Oatmeal Crumble @100PhP I like the mango ref cake taste palette blended with oats! For those who like ref cakes, try this one! Tony’s also got party packages, if you need a place good for 100? 200? or even 300 pax, try it here!! Their assisted buffet per pax starts as low as 350PhP! Good for parties indeed, because they got a huge side yard for parking.

A place where affordable means delicious. Situated with the North lies Tony's Bar and Grill, a well-known go-to restaurant fitting for families or couples who crave for Filipino cuisine that's good for more than two. Their Fish Fillet in Vermicelli was light and refreshing on the palate. Definitely a good dish to order for starters. The Baked Oyster is definitely synonymous anywhere to delicious, yum, and I'll have seconds! A must for those looking for seafood. Now, to those who aren't on a diet or just love how pork blends with everyday life, their Crispy Pata is definitely your bang for the buck. They have an ongoing promo that prices it at Php 395 from Php 550 till further notice. A best pair for this is the Nasi Goreng that's topped with beef and shrimp for only P195! A total steal for those who come in big groups. If that's not enough, their Sizzling Sisig Original is a staple order for the locals who often come here. Worth mentioning is their Tilapia Fillet in Honey Mustard. It's just a magical blend of fish and their special sauce that keeps you in awe as to how they merged such flavors. Definitely something you should order. The Sinuglaw, Grilled Blue Marlin, and Gambas Al Ajillo are all perfect beer mates for you to chug down with beer. An uncommon sight would be the Mixed Seafood in Buko Shell that's a totally unique experience both in presentation and flavor. And after all that hearty feast, you'd want to sink your palate into their Thai Style Tapioca that's a must for a light and sweet jolt for a choice of dessert. Mango Oatmeal Crumble takes the slice for best light and crumbly dessert that you'd have a hard time sharing. It is just so good. Tony's Bar and Grill has been around for a long time and yet it still continues to innovate and amplify current dishes that they offer. It's a great place to enjoy events--since they do have several function rooms you could choose from--a great place to dine, and a place worth going to if you're in a budget and around the area.

Tony’s Bar Grill have been a staple for more than a decade and it has been a go to place by nearby residents. They started with Filipino dishes and now inspired by the different tastes of Asian cuisine. It’s not only a restaurant but it’s also an event places. That can cater from 30 people to 200 people that also includes affordable and mouthwatering meals. They finished renovating their function rooms and they are planning to renovate the restaurant in the mere future. Main course: Nasi Goreng (Php 195) their best seller and it’s a complete meal in itself. It was full flavored dish too. Mixed Seafood in Buko Shell (Php 295) it was a bit difficult to dig in the buko shell maybe if it was cut in half it would have been easier. Coconut meat and the curry sauce was a great combination too. Sizzling Sisig Original (Php 180) topped with mayonnaise which made it sweet and savory. Tilapia Fillet in Honey Mustard (Php 255) another surprising flavor. Honey mustard and fish? Man! It was a delicious combo. Sinuglaw (Php 270) one of my favorites. It was tangy and sour. Kulang na lang beer. Baked Oyster (Php 235) huge oysters, yum! Grilled Blue Marlin (Php 125 for 100g) it was soft but needed more seasoning Gambas Al Ajillo (Php 275) the shrimp lacked flavor. I’m used to gambas dishes with a lot of spices to give that gambas kick. Crispy Pata is currently offering a promo from Php 550 to Php 395 until supplies last. It was soft and tender. The skin was not to tough to eat. Newest dish: Fish Fillet in Vermicelli it was light and healthy. It was a great meal starter. Desserts: Thai Style Tapioca (Php 95) I love tapioca so this is a winner for me. I’m thinking about it now. Mango Oatmeal Crumble (Php 100)

Tony's has been around for so long, but the food is always something my family goes back to. For us, it's really more of a neighborhood restaurant now since we live in the area. The resto itself looks dated, but it actually adds to its charm. The food has always been value-for-money. They give big portions for each dish, and they're actually very good. They have a couple of types of sinigang, all of which we have tried, and all so good! Apart from Filipino dishes, they also have other Asian dishes like Nasi Goreng--a trip to Tony's definitely won't be complete without the Nasi Goreng!
