“The place itself looks nice but it's chinsy. The food is basic there's nothing special about it. Minimal portions unless you spend good money you'll leave hungry. They charge you a 3% sur charge when you use a Credit card I didn't see that posted anywhere. The Menu is all over the place meh. $4 soft drink and don't get ask if you want a Refill. NOT worth the HYPE“

“Very charming 50's diner, seems to be all original, not a remake. A true survivor of the times.
The staff is very nice, and the owner is pouring her heart and soul into the place to keep it going despite staffing challenges and long hours.
The food was very good, and very inexpensive. We had breakfast, lunch, and donuts, everything was great.
We were traveling from out of town but we will be back.“

“We visited last week while renting a condo about a block from Tony's for a week. We found this place by accident, just strolling thru town. Our son wanted wings and it was the first place with a menu our family of 4 could all agree upon. We came in from the back and up the patio to enter and weren't sure what to put expect. We were impressed with the interior and that it was the first restaurant (4th overall in Sandusky on our trip) with an adequate cooling system. We were all impressed with our choices. My husband had the Greek cheesesteak and loved it. I couldn't decide between the mac & cheese hot dog or the French Dip. Our server JP a suggested the French Dip and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. I think their seasoned mayo is what makes their sandwiches! The daughter and I both got the mac and cheese. She said it was the best mac & cheese she's ever had and she's never impressed. If we are ever back in Sandusky, we're definitely coming back!“

Magnuson Hotel Lake Erie Sports Bar • $$

“This review is based on a one night stay. The hotel was fairly close to Cedar Point. Was this a five star hotel? No. Was it the cleanest? No. Was it the most modern upscale hotel? No. Was the staff ultra helpful and friendly? No. Was it 300 a night? No!!! I was looking for a decent hotel to literally crash at after 12 hours at Cedar Point. Here was my criteria... A comfortable bed. Check! A decent shower. Check! Less than 300 a night. Check!Bottom line if you don't want to spend a fortune on a place after a long day at Cedar Point and you are going to crash 20 minutes after arriving then this is a great option. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and had lots of pressure.Just my two cents“
