Tony Marc's Eats has some great reviews here on Yelp, so naturally I was anxious to give the place a try. \n\nYou know what they say about first impressions; they last forever. Upon entering, we noticed the place was empty, save for one diner who we later realized was one of the employees, yet there was a table covered in dirty dishes.\n\nWe approached the counter and were greeted by a gentleman who was apparently the owner. He answered our questions about the menu, offered suggestions, and engaged in some playful banter with my mother in law. We placed our order and looked for a table. Again, the diner was empty, but we couldn't find a clean table to sit at. \n\nI ordered the Big Tony, a double burger with all the fixings, some special sauce, and deep fried pickles. Justin ordered the same and we also ordered a Frito Pie to share. The food was served fairly quickly. The burger was a good sized portion, and looked delicious. The flavor was good, but nothing spectacular or memorable. The deep fried pickles added a strange texture to the burger that I wouldn't describe as pleasurable, and the bun was slightly soggy. The fries were crispy, hot and tasty.\n\nThe Frito Pie is a bag of Fritos opened up with chili and cheese sauce poured on top of the chips. While it was a decadent treat, it's very obviously canned chili and canned cheese sauce. We enjoyed it, but it's nothing to write home about.\n\nEven though we were pretty full, we all decided that we couldn't leave without trying the deep fried PB&J. The presentation is nice. Two thick slices of bread stuffed with peanut butter and jelly, dusted with powdered sugar. It was warm, sweet, and satisfying. It is very rich - the bread is almost like French Toast, and in conjunction with the PB, Jelly and powdered sugar, this is a treat you will need to share with someone else.\n\nThe gist? Decent food, good service, not so clean. Another issue we had is that the place is uncomfortably quiet. They could definitely benefit from some music in the background. But that won't stop us from going back.
