What People Are Saying About Tony's Southern Comfort Restaurant

In Short – Plastic checkered tablecloths, garage-sale knickknacks and walls that haven't seen a fresh coat of paint in years make this East Austin eatery strangely alluring. You'll find locals chatting and watching TV while catching a quick bite. The chicken-fried steak at Tony's reigns supreme, with a Texas-sized portion of tender, battered cube steak, deep-fried and served with thick, white gravy. A true Southern staple, the breaded catfish is seasoned, deep-fried and served with hush puppies.

Check it out Dogg!!!

by Hugheslaw

Greatest dining experience I have ever had in Austin!! What a thrill for a downhome boy to get the best chicken fried steak and fried okra he's ever had! The service is as good as the food, especially if you have the good fortune to have Tony's beautiful daughter serve your table. I was so taken with this young lady that I tried to take her home with me but Tony stopped me at the door and made me put her down. In exchange for the return of his daughter, the Maestro agreed to autograph my copy of Texas Monthly with his glowing review in it, which is where I first discovered Tony's. This place is not to be missed for all lovers of true southern cuisine.

  • Pros: Best Southern Food In Texas!
  • Cons: NONE

Great food/Excellent caterers

by afrankl2

Although I come from a long line of wonderful cooks, Tony's is always a special treat! The food is always exceptional and the service is fast and friendly. I solicited Tony's to cater a Black History event and I was not disappointed! Despite delays on our end, I was most impressed by the professionalism displayed by Tony and his helpers. They were on time. They were professional. And the food was wonderful!!!! I would recommend Tony's for any of your catering needs.

REAL home cooking

by davebuoy

I'm a cook and a darn good one. I labor mostly at home and love home cooking. Fancy has its place but I really respect the good down home cook. Tony is just that, a great down home cook. The corn bread is fantastic and he doesn't scrimp on the butter. You have got to try the deep fried pork chops, I never thought of deep frying breaded pork chops before and they are really great. The best part is that the food is fresh and well done. One of the other places I have been for home cooking often has a metallica taste to the sauce or other not so good problem. Forget about the home cook wanna bees, go to Tonys. You'll be back once you do.

  • Pros: Food is really home cooking, not JUST a claim as such.
  • Cons: none
