Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill

I came here on a Sunday morning. The staff was fantastic. The lobster roll was as always fantastic and to wash it all down with a 22oz of my favorite beer was just the way to end an awesome weekend. I have high praise for this location because no matter how busy it is they have great customer service.

First of all, I am not a big sports fan, nor a big sports bar fan either. I met a first date here last month and was pleasantly surprised. Granted there are gigantic tv screens by the bar where we sat and it was a little loud for my liking but I enjoyed my time at the bar there. Although it is a sports bar/​restaurant, it has an upscale feel to it.
The drinks were great and we shared an appetizer which was on special which was delicious. The bartender was fantastic too. He was telling us about a special drink order he had just made and had me sample it.
I will definitely return! Sadly, I won’t be seeing that date again lol.

loud, out of some of the draft beers, and food only mediocre. Best thing about the place is the huge tv screens.

In spite of all the 1 or 2 stars I feel like this place is a decent solid place for cocktails, beers and apps. No need to describe the site as many have done that and it’s a new space and is quite impressive. Staff was welcoming and our server in the bar area was great, although she did disappear after our last app and before the check.
We had all intentions of doing dinner after our beer and vodka martini’s. We started with some appetizers, nacho’s and wings between the 3 of us and found out we couldn’t do dinner because we were to full. The prices were reasonable and the food was decent tasting app food. We ordered a third appetizer of the philly cheesesteak won ton’s which were a keeper.
I’ll return. Fun vibe, busy spot with tons of televisions to keep the ADHD folks quiet.

Brought some customers here for dinner since they requested to come. The place is huge with seating at the bar, hightops, boths and tables.
We ended up in a both and after ordering drinks from the fairly lengthy selection of beers we placed our entrée orders. I asked for my salmon to be cooked medium and it came out completely cooked through. Oddly, the side of brussle sprouts were still hard and far to sweet with a maple-​syrup like coating. Since we waited a bit for the meal I did not send it back.

This was our first visit to Tony C’s. Boy were we pleasantly surprised! My husband wanted to take me to lunch for my birthday and I have been wanting to try the place. He is already talking about what he might order on his next visit.
Today we both started with the Mista salad which was crisp and fresh. He had the fish and chips while I enjoyed the honey glazed tuna with vegetable couscous. We each enjoyed a pint. The draft beer selection is huge! Since it was a celebratory visit, we each enjoyed desert. I ordered the crème brûlée and he had the All Star 6, a chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and raspberry syrup.
There was nothing that did not exceed expectations. Our waitress was efficient beyond description with all food delivered at the perfect time. Hubby noted that his fish and chips was retaining its heat so it must have been picked up promptly. My tuna was exquisitely prepared medium rare and tasted like a fine filet mignon.
The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is because there are so many fantastic restaurants in the area. They can’t all have 5 stars can they?

I’ve gone to Tony C’s a couple times and I have to say I’m not really a fan. I like all of the TVs so you can watch basically any game and they do have a good selection of beers but that’s about where the positives end.
I think their prices are very high. The cheapest sandwich on the menu is about $ 12 which I think is pretty steep and the same goes for the burgers. The «House Specialties» range from $ 14-​$ 19 which is pretty crazy for a «sports bar.» The beer isn’t really much better with the cheapest coming in at about $ 5.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with Tony C’s. I feel like a sports bar should cater more towards the «blue collar» crowd and things should be more affordable. I don’t see myself going back there again.

We went here after a function and it was SO fun! There was a big group of us and we took over 2 tables and just kept the party going. I have to say I was so surprised about the food– I thought sports bar food would be nasty, but this place exceeded my expectations. I also thought the staff were really sweet and helpful. The added bonus is the wall of TV screens– you can certainly get your fix here!

Good food !! Friendly service !! But not always.
Beware that on game day, this place is poorly managed, management is totally clueless and will be rude and aggrandizing beyond than it is necessary which should be never in hospitality industry. FYI

I wish there was less than 1 star to give this horrible place… I arrived 3 hours before the game to make sure I have room for my family to celebrate my son’s birthday. Eventually when my family arrived the managers didn’t let them in due to «over capacity» although I came hours in advance to make sure I have room, and even told them when I arrived that a few of my party will arrive later. Even when we asked to just let my 4-​year-​old in so he an join me and his brothers they refused.
The manager was rude and not helpful, didn’t even apologize for their incompetence.
Horrible… Rude… and incompetent… I’ll never go again…

Always looking for interesting lunch places and there are plenty of new ones in Burlington lately. Chopped cobb salad for $ 14 was merely a sm handful of shredded lettuce, two chunks of chicken, presence of some bacon bits and a horrible tasting dressing.
YES, there are a ton of TVs all showing the same 3 channels. May not be the audience for this place but my software friends and I go out at least 3x @ week for lunch. They can have millennials at night but GOD, please give me a reasonably priced salad and wine for a change!
DelFrisco’s fish tacos much better, Wegman’s doesn’t have the ambiance but taste 10x better.

Good place to watch the game with ample parking. The philly cheese wonton app’s are so good!

Came as an out of town visitor and enjoyed it. I was with a large group of work colleagues and we had a good time. Food of note was the 25 burger — was able to get it medium rare (which is, pun intended, rare to get) and it was solid. The Brussels sprouts that I opted for were relatively plain however. The fish and chips had the largest fish that is ever seen — literally 9-​plus inches.
The beer selection was solid and I appreciated the service of the staff. Was here to watch MD-​Georgetown and they accommodated a few channel switches.
Will return the next time I’m here.

We ordered calamari, wedge salad, and Arancini. The Arancini was burnt and over cooked. The calamari had a very sugary sweet coating. It was odd to taste calamari that tasted like candy. The salad was ok as the ranch dressing was mediocre, with soggy tasteless bacon bits.
What a mediocre sports bar, we won’t return.

Tony C’s main focus is being a sports bar and that’s where it’s most successful. Great layout for seating as well as a large amount of tv’s. The kicker is their top of the line wall of TV’s which is incredible to see and the biggest anywhere. We stopped by during dinner time on a Sunday night and every single football game was on and the best games were on the biggest screens. The service is really good here and they realize you’re there to watch some sports so they stay out of your way while still being hospitable. The real only mediocre thing is the food. The food is average and I would choose another place to eat if you don’t need to watch a game. The burger was pretty good, juicy and cooked right. However the turkey club was bland (even with bacon), the turkey was almost tasteless and tasted like you what you get from your grocer’s deli (the cheap stuff). The bread was at least good. If your main mission is sports watching come here, the food is decent enough to get by. If you want good food, go somewhere else!

Came in to watch the Steelers Ravens on a Thursday night… My girl and I were deciding on a few different places until we decided on Tony C’s. It was pretty busy because of the game but the hostesses found us a high top to sit at within minutes. We both had the chicken caesar wraps which were bomb (could use a smidge more dressing though). My girl had the «Little Red Scooter» cocktail which she loved but we think it
should be called the «Little Red Caboose» lol. One of the main reasons for the 5 stars was our server Russell, dude was on point, quick, and very personable. We’ll be back again for sure!

If you are into small portions and high prices then Tony C’s is your place. The tv’s are impressive and if a short vodka drink wasn’t 11 dollars I might consider coming back purely to sit at the bar. Servers are friendly, but no one tries to go the extra mile. For instance our waitress brought the wrong beer and did not care to replace with the correct one.
Now for the food. The wing flavor is good that earned them a star. However the wings varied in size of meat and only 6 wings for $ 10. Their shrimp creole dish while tasty was the most outrageous. 5 small salad size shrimp over two pieces of sourdough bread. $ 12. Their spinach artichoke dip was bland and apparently we were not the only people to send it back. The buffalo taquitos had good taste but at $ 3 each again the price just can’t be justified. You can go to King’s for their buffalo wonton for a reasonable price and filling appetizer.
Sorry $ 75 for 3 apps and two drinks each is unreal for a strip mall in Burlington, MA. Needless to say I am still hungry. Good thing Wegman’s is across the street.

Great service, great place to watch the game of ANY sort. HUGE TVs, like take up the whole wall TV. All we saw were high top tables and booth but plenty of them. They have some nice outdoor seating as well. Plenty of parking. The menu is typical choices but they execute them very nicely. Great quality from what we had and saw. Our new go to spot for any game viewing experience moving forward.

Went here for my third or fourth time. Great service every time. We had a group lunch and they were more than accommodating. My office was able to call ahead and get seated promptly. Our waiters (we had two) and they were very attentive and timely with taking our orders and very friendly as well. Definitely come here, even if it’s just for drinks.

Move over Tavern in the Square, there’s a new watering hole in Burlington. Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill just opened its door this past Saturday, just in time for the AFC Championship game.
My coworkers and I headed to 3^rd Ave to scope out the new bar/​restaurant. To my surprise, there was plenty of parking (unlike the time period when Wegman’s just opened and it was a zoo).
We were greeted by 4 hostesses and some of them had iPads. I assume that is to coordinate seating and table arrangements. Nonetheless, it still wasn’t that helpful because the girl still was unsure where she was supposed to seat us. As we walked to our table, there were lots of servers just hanging around waiting for customers to come in.
The restaurant/​bar has a contemporary vibe with lots of flat screen TV’s on the wall featuring different programming. We were there at lunch so it was mostly sports talk shows discussing the current «cheating» scandal with the Pats.
We were seated in a posh leather crescent booth that gave the restaurant a bit of an upscale ambiance.
Other servers and hostess came by and made small talk with us as we awed over the restaurant’s furnishings and décor. Our server came by with the menus. There was a good amount of bar food along with specialty items that caught my eye: New Orleans Shrimp with creole sauce, pork Au Poivre and chicken and shrimp étouffée. It’s definitely an American menu with a splash of Southern, Creole/​Cajun/​Louisiana cuisine.
There was an extensive drink list with lots of beers on draft but I was boring and went with tap water. All the employees spoke highly of the crispy calamari so we started off with an order to share. It was brought out to us in a lighting speed, no longer than 10 minutes. The appetizer had jalapenos and battered cherry peppers along with the calamari and tentacles coated in the sweet chili sauce, AKA Mae Ploy sauce used in Asian cooking. My friend thought there was too much sauce and it overwhelmed the dish.
I couldn’t decide between the fish tacos or the #25 burger so I asked our server for recommendations. She told me to go with the burger, no doubt. The #25 burger has Vermont cheddar cheese, pork belly, fried egg, hoison sauce onion and lettuce served on a sesame bun. I’ve had eggs in my burgers before and it’s absolutely heavenly! I was sold.
I ordered it «Medium» and the burger even came out with a white picket that read «Medium,» Nonetheless, my burger was NOT «Medium» it was more like cooked. I told the server and she was just like «Oh,» OK, thanks for nothing. For a $ 15.00 burger, I expect it to be cooked to my preferences. This ain’t McDonalds. I was expecting MUCH MORE pink. Also, the «Pork belly» was just bacon. I was expecting thicker cuts of bacon, hence the «pork belly» name. Pork belly is served thick not thin. At least the sweet potato fries were good.
My friends split the nachos and turkey club. The picture doesn’t not do the club any justice. It was HUMONGOUS! The basic nachos are $ 10.00 and if you want chicken or chili, it’s an extra $ 4.00 which is pretty standard.
The bill came to about $ 60.00 for 2 appetizer, 2 sodas and 2 entrees (a bit on the steep side for lunch). We’ll definitely be back another night after work to check out their drinks and other items on the menu. Hopefully they won’t screw my burger next time.
