Tony's Baltimore Grille, an Atlantic City long-time favorite landmark for over 65 years.
Located a block off the boardwalk near the Tropicana, it's a popular spot for the late-night crowd, locals, cops, shift workers, and the occasional celebrity.
Open 24 hours/day, it attracts many late-arriving gamblers --- it's one of the few restaurants where you can get a reasonably priced meal in the early A.M. They are noted for their pizza and traditional Italian dishes, at a very low price.
It's a throwback bar and a change of pace to the glitzy or elegant Italian restaurants in the casinos. The atmosphere is like a South Philly neighborhood restaurant set in a white stucco building with red shutters.
The wrap-around bar area has seating in a few booths. The large dining room is dark, and dated, with jukeboxes at each booth, and square tables.
It's an old-world local bar vibe with old rock music being heard in the background
This is a New Jersey dining experience that's inexpensive, and dependable.
In addition to the pizzas, Tony's serves up generous portions of basic pasta, meatball platters, and a good Seafood Special with fried shrimp, crab cakes, scallops, fries, and cole slaw.
The service is friendly and attentive.
