Outstanding tasting food and generous portions for a very good price. 10/10 will be back again!! We had a large group of about 15 people and all of our entrees mains and desserts came out at the same time with barely any wait time! Super fast and great customer service, kind staff and lovely home feel atmosphere:-)

Came here on Zomato Gold. I ordered dino steak medium (scotch on the bone), wife had pork ribs. The steak was way underdone so we had it cooked a little more and it came back perfect with fresh sides and sauce. Not a big deal at all. They gave us a free dessert though. Later I went to an expensive steakhouse and paid way more for a smaller and less delicious steak. Definitely coming back to Tony’s. I still fantasise about that steak and mushroom sauce.

Busy Saturday and waited for while, but the food and vibes is all worthy.

Very nice and friendly staff, and patient despite they’re super busy.

Steak is perfect grilled with delicious source. Lamb shank is soft tender and the sauce is perfect go.

Definitely recommend

I came here with my partner for our date night. 💞
Booking a table over the phone was a breeze.
Customer service is great! We had a lovely young girl that tended to us. She was very professional and looked after us and answered all our questions.
Then the food! The food was the best! No complaints whatsoever! I ordered the ribs for my entree and they gave me a finger dipping bowl with water and lemon in it. I thought that was neat seeing as I’ve never been given one before. Drinks menu was awesome.

My overall rating is a 5. This is a very good place to dine. Clean, Affordable, Delicious! What more can you ask for? Thanks Tony’s Restaurant. Will deffs be back again

First time visiting, and totally impressed by the service of the staff (to marks) as well as the food. Ribeye steak grilled to taste, no complaints there. The banana chicken took a while to be prepared, and the serving is huge for the price. It does taste a little bland, but no complaints either and it is well matched with a banana! Creative!

We really enjoyed our meal at Tony's and would definitely return. Service was excellent and the food was tasty and arrived promptly. There was small mistake with a side (mashed potato instead of chips) this was quickly resolved much to our delight :) This was our first experience of using Zomato 'Gold' the process was quick and easy. Would recommend as a family restaurant.

We were seated by wait staff, but the older woman behind the bar came and offered exceptional service. We asked for a teaspoon for our toddler to eat his meal and not only did she happily oblige, but she also looked at our toddler sitting on the dining chair and asked if we'd like a booster seat. Really appreciated the suggestion and the lovely service.

We ordered two scotch fillets (perfectly cooked medium rare) with mash & veges and both enjoyed our meals (and the price thanks to Zomato Gold). Don't think I would have tried Tony's if it weren't for them being a gold restaurant, but am pleased I did. The place reminded me of the good old days when there were no flowers or micro greens, or Instagram. We got plates of food - complete meals! And they were decent portions too! I even shared mine with Master 2.

I was excited to see traffic lights & pink panthers on the drinks menu. Cue fond memories of dinner in the 80s at Fisherman's Table

I was tempted to take home a banoffee pie for $25 (bargain!) but was too full to even think of more food. Will definitely pick one up when we return.

We had a dinner party here & were under a 3 course menu. Service was pretty fast considering our large group. Filo pastry & cheescake (entrée & dessert) meals were tasty. For my main, I chose the creamy vege pasta dish. It was very filling- large portion size but I was hoping it would be more cheesy & mushroomy, not just salty.

Had the three-course menu and chose the Beef Kofta as the entree, Pork Belly for the main and the Banoffee Pie for dessert. Overall, all the dishes were super tasty and flavoursome, I was definitely satisfied by the end of the night. We had quite a big group but the service was speedy and consistent throughout and waiters/waitresses were friendly, patient and showed great customer service. Would love to come back to try other dishes!

Dinner for two at Tony's tonight as I'd like to take advantage of my Zamato Gold discount. First of all the service we received has been nothing short of excellent. We ordered the Mexicana Fillet and the Fillet Mignon under the Premium Steaks section of the menu and both dishes are super yum! They are both of generous proportion so we've had a big feast tonight as we also ordered some sides and dessert. The only slight downside is the restaurant internal decor which is a little dated and could do with some refurbishment ;-)

Came here for the All You Can Eat Ribs, wedges and slaw for $20pp. The first portion is massive with 1kg slab each. I couldn’t go anymore and the rest top up once with another 500gr. I wish they wouldn’t pour so much sauce on the top of it but it tastes quite good but after a while can get overwhelming. Their wedges funnily enough was my highlight. So crunchy and I can’t stop eating them. We also ordered their desserts afterwards at additional costs. Banoffie Pie would satisfy your deserts stomach! They also do three course meals for $39, super value of money! Friendly staff.

My husband took us here for dinner earlier this week. We had the $39 Set Menu 3 Course. Good amount of options. Spacious setting, very comfortable. Eceltic background music that included Fleetwood Mac, Trance, and Pop. Service prompt and friendly.

Entrees were Beef Kofta on Flat Bread with Tzatziki and Spare Ribs. The Beef Kofta was pretty average, the Spare Ribs were nice.Mains:Beef fillet with mushroom sauce and Steak Italiano. Both great mains, decent portion, really tasty. Also liked there different side options eg chips or mashed potatoe or salad or cooked veges.
Dessert:Warmed Chocolate cake with cream and berry compote, to die for and a lovely way to finish the meal.

Great value for money, would definitely return.

Great value for your money. The food is tasty and well presented. Service is friendly and they were accommodating when we asked to move to another table. It’s a pity that the decor is really dated because I’m sure they would attract more patrons.

This place needs some renovation or something to lighten up the place. Its like a gloomy castle inside. The man was nice and showed us to our seat and we ordered our drinks straight away.
Entree ordered the garlic bread and the ribs.
The bread was so soggy im not sure how that happens so I tried to hide the soggyness (is that even a word) by dipping it into the ribs sauce. Didnt quite work. The ribs were really small, i know its an entree but damn were they riblets? The sauce did not work for me was too sweet and quite runny.
Main ordered the beef burger and my partner ordered the lamb shank. Now they had a great deal $15 burger n beverage deal, the burger was great!! Absolutely great. Huge portion im a kiwi so i love all the toppings that were inside. The onion rings and chips were a great hit as well!!! It was so good that my partner even enjoyed it so i gave him my other half as the burger was massive.
I really enjoyed the lamb shank was also really great but the burger stood out more for me.

Had a wonderful dinner of lamb shank and mash and my daughter had scotch filet with chips and veges. Happy with the portion size and costs. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in and although we booked online they didn’t have it but they gave us a table anyway. Absolutely fantastic services and we will definitely be going back again.

A group of 15 I think went to Tony's on the 24/2 just as a social catch up ,we were seated in the bar area to wait for  most of the party to come. We then got shown to the table that was booked when most of us were there. Our waitress Jessica came and introduced herself to us and helped us out with our orders. She is a lovely friendly girl and shared a few laughs with us. Especially as my friend wanted her burger meat cremated. Every single one of us was impressed with our food and dessert. I love the fact that we each got an individual bill which made things so much easier for me as a host....and all my friends thought this was a brilliant idea. So much so a few of us suggested they sell this idea to other restaurants. The banoffee pie that I had and many of my friends did also , it wasn't to sickly as most of them are and you can't usually eat the whole thing..the only thing I did think and it was only my thoughts I'm sure is perhaps there was to much cream as it came with cream on the side to but that is the only niggle I had.

The setting was great lots of room for big parties.. beautiful set up for the table in the middle with the candelabra etc. Our table was so impressed with Jessica we all put some money together to give her a tip :) I wish her well with  her paramedic training.

I will be forever puzzled how I know the duty manager who btw is very friendly to. In fact the whole lot were.
Many of my party said they'd be keen to go back  again.

Recently dined here and was very impressed! Have been here a couple of times in the last few years but this time I really loved it! Dined with a large group and we had the $39 set menu, my first thought was that it’s going to be small portions and I wasn’t sure on the food quality. I choose the seafood chowder for the entree, beef fillet for the main and banofee pie for dessert! The portions were massive, the food was so tasty, steak cooked perfectly. I even tried my partners food and it was just as good he had the ribs,slow cooked ribs and banofee pie. The service was good food came in a reasonable amount of time. Place is still a little dated but I liked it! Can’t wait to go back here! Thanks team at Tony’s :)

The past two weeks, I came with my family for all you can eat ribs special. Enjoyed both times coming here. We arrived after 7.30pm the first time we tried and were advised about the 40 minute wait. We didn't mind as we were super eager to try. The second time, we arrived earlier and were seated almost immediately :)
Awesome service from the team, the waiters and front of house kept checking up on our table (and the others of course) to make sure everything was in place. Our table was served within minutes.
The ribs were succulent, falling off the bone, if you haven't tried it yourself you must! I had thought I wouldn't like the plum sauce but boy I was wrong. The portion is huge! I know it was all you can eat but I could only finish one plate and it was my first meal of the day.
The wedges were nice - hot and crispy. We had plenty of bowls on our table, great side to accompany the ribs.
I also had banoffee for dessert, it was a very large portion and tasted amazing! Sadly, I couldn't finish it as it was too sweet for my liking. If you have a sweet tooth, it'll be just the thing for you. Everyone else ordered cheesecake and warm fudge cake. Assuming they all loved it because the plates were clean a few minutes after dessert was served.
All in all, great service and quality food. Keep it up, Tony's!

Came here for lunch and ordered the Fish and Chips, Wedges and Sour Cream and the Banoffee Pie. The lady who served us was really nice and friendly! The fish and chips were really nice, cooked perfectly-almost like the ones from your local takeaway! The highlight of this meal were definitely the wedges and sour cream! The wedges were so crunchy as soon as I took a bite from them. Dipping it in sour cream just gave it that extra flavour. The banoffee pie was marvellous, I loved the biscuit layering at the bottom! The toffee sauce was super sweet for me, but left me squealing on the inside. This place is worth a try, I totally recommend their wedges with sour cream and their desserts!

First time here and I should say, my experience was awesome! 👏🏻 The food was amazing and with a reasonable price. The reason why I didn't give a perfect rating coz of the serving time. It took us more than 30 minutes to wait for my dish. Though we have been told already that the menu I ordered would prolly take up to 20-25 minutes. The next table has there food already. Might be our orders take a lil bit longer to cook. But overall experience, twas great! In addition, the staff who served us was so friendly and great customer service 👍🏻✊🏻

Tonys Restaurant Henderson in my opinion the best traditional Restaurant/Steakhouse in West Auckland, the best way I can put it is that this place has been 'tried and tested' its not a'Pop up' trendy place, and it doesnt need to be. Tonys constantly delivers great quality cuts of meat always cooked to perfection, with a full menu also,only problem I have is that I cant ever go passed ordering any thing other than the the Scotch filet, My family has been dining here for 10 years plus, for both casual lunches and special occasions aways look forward to getting back there when im over due for that scotch fillet!!, Support your local WEST Auckland restaurants Thanks TONY'S Cheers KURT

Highly impressed with the quality of meals off the standard menu. Meals ordered : braised pork belly in ju, dino steak in bone. Off the kids menu: hotdog and chips.
1. Excellent kids meal choices to choose from. 7 year old daughter is a chicken nugget eater and never finishes a meal. Tonight: she polished a complete kids meal.
2. Steak cooked to perfection, excellent quality cut, juicy and tasted like a perfect steak full in flavour. 10/10 compared to restaurants sampled in the city outside sebel hotel.
3. Braised pork belly. Simply devine! Compliments to the chef! 10/10 melt in the mouth, fresh, succulent, juicy and flavour throughout the quality piece of meat to its devine pure crispy flavoured pitch perfect crackling. Most impressed with first time dining at Tony's for quality meal worth the price when compared to high end restaurant's dining experience in Auckland city.
Appreciate the communication by wait staff as to the half hour wait in the pork belly. Definitely worth the wait in fantastic meal.
Garlic bread instant hit with 7 year old. Finally great to see a chef that appreciates a decent and proper flavoursome garlic bread that isnt slapped with boring.
Good customer service. Will return.

Great service, food came out quite promptly too. The fried foods were cooked to perfection, their wedges are 10/10, pricey but worth it. We had the beef and bacon burger and the chicken and brie burger and both were equally tasty, we were impressed by the big juicy genuine meat sizes in them. Crumbed scallops were nice for a started and the halloumi salad is great, just needs more beetroot. My only low would be the atmosphere, its a bit dull and boring. We would definitely come back.

We went to this restaurant many times and every time we go there we have a great time, food and service were great. We had spare ribs for starters and Tony's special beef, Kofta with Tapoleh for the main and cheesecake , their famous Sweet pie for dessert. All the food was great and tasty except the Tapoleh wasn't what it should be, lake flavour and missing some important ingredients because I am from middle East so I know what it should taste like. But in general it was great night and very enjoyable, definitely will come back again.

This is our go to steak restaurant in the culinary wasteland of west Auckland. It's old school in design & decor, which I find part of its charm. Reminiscent of my waitressing days at the Hungry Horse in Elliot street 😂 Great service, consistently good food. No surprises good or bad, exactly what I expect from a steak meal. Steaks cooked as ordered, seasoned well, tasty sides. Prices slightly over what I'd expect for the establishment but no real drama. It's here or La Porchetta out these ways - go for the late 70's vibe that Tony's offers instead of the generic, bland franchise feel of Porchetta.

Went here tonight for my partners delayed bday. Everything was amazing as always when it comes to Tony's! You will never leave that place hungry I can tell you that much. Had the $35, bookings essential menu. Chowder for starters which is amazing, Scotch fillet béarnaise with fries and salad for main also a big hit. And then the all so legendary Tony's banoffee pie. That pie is absolutely TO DIE FOR! Ordered two coffees with that and here comes the twist why I'm not giving this a full 5 point. Terrible coffee! Told the lady at the end I'm not willing to pay for the coffees since they where undrinkable. She then a bit cheeky said "well where no baristas here"....but you do have a proper barista machine so I don't know why the staff is not trained better to do coffees. That sucks. But since everything else is great I left the place satisfied.

Had a great meal here with friends and family! Food was absolutely delious. Kids were catered to quite well with colouring and plenty of menu options. Entrees and kids food was served quickly waiting a little bit longer for the adults mains the filet mignon was superb! Could have done with a few more wait staff however as busy as they were for a Tuesday evening the staff seemed to cope really well.

We got given a voucher for all you can eat ribs for our birthdays and chose to use it in a Sunday night.

The staff and food were all amazing. The ribs were really really yummy. Had a honey soy sort of sauce on them rather than the usual BBQ sauce you seem to get. Kind of reminded us of Tony Roma's if you've been. Wedges were perfectly crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside. Bread and dips were also really yummy. Came with basil pesto, sun dried tomato and hummus.

They had a big square table for 12/14 people which was kind of in it's own area. It was a nice to see a big square family table in a restaurant rather than the really long ones you normally see, where you'd have to yell at people down the other end.

The only down fall was the restaurant was a bit worn, cosmetic only. With some new tables and chairs it was be perfect! That said we Would definitely go back again, even if paying full price because the food was worth it.

PS sorry for sideways photos, don't know what went on here 😕

Okay so we went here for a surprise birthday party, and it was arranged we would all be purchasing the set menu they are most popular for, you get a starter, main and a dessert for $35.00. the options were quite good and when came to the table they did look pretty good. for starters we had the seafood chowder, spare ribs and prawn salad and they looked and tasted great. mains we ordered the Pork belly and the
Filet Mignon. the pork was cooked nice but the piece was slightly small, the Filet Mignon was super good steak cooked med as i requested, lovely buttery mash but the orange flavoured carrots i could have passed on, i think a garlic buttery herb veg would have been a nicer accompany. Chips are really good too. Dessert we had the Banoffee Cream Pie which had nice flavours however personally too much cream and very rich. the cheesecake looked really good and i think next time i would go for that. lovely attentive friendly staff. they could use another couple of bar staffs and a eftpos machine at the bar, it got a bit annoying having to go back and forth to the main desk just to use the card. the only down fall in my opinion would be the decor, the main building is very out dated and dark, they deifinatly need to lighten up the walls with a nice paint job. The table and chairs are modern and comfy.

They were full of mainly large tables on a Wednesday night. Two floor staff who also looked after the bar meant long waits all the way through. Food as part a Groupon deal meant three courses for two. The entrees were lovely ribs and chowder although no bread served with the chowder which I found strange... Mains arrive both pork belly his was crisp and great mine was flabby and soft. Very disappointed I try to flag down a staff member but no joy so I take the offending plate of rubber to the kitchen where they all seem to be having a smoko break. I wait with plate in hand and when the chefs arrive back through the back door I ask them if my pork is correct. They apologise and yes on returning to my seat I do get served a wonderful meal but man did I have to work for it! We would still return as service was friendly although hurried and when the food arrived was generally "good".

Tony's comfortably seated myself and 17 other family members. We opted for the $35 set menu, and we're more than satisfied with each and every course! I hade the seafood chowder for starter. The pork belly for main, the crackle was amazing! The banoffee pie for dessert. Our waiter was very polite and helpful. The whole environment of the restaurant is welcoming and cosy. They also catered for our children with a varied menu $17.50 (main, soft drink, dessert, kids pack). Overall I give this restaraunt a 5/5 for food and service. I left Tony's overly satisfied with a smile on my face. Will DEFINATELY be back soon,

Best ribs I've had by far! Whenever I go I get the $35 deal and always get the ribs for a entree! I love their banoffee and chocolate cake for deserts and always struggle to eat it after the mains but it's too good to waste it. And there mains are just fab. I've always left feeling full and happy with meals.

Went to Tony's last night for a 21st dinner. There were 20 or so of us. The table which we were given was a tad too small of an area. However, they moved us to a much better spot when asked. The staff were nice, a little sassy, but nice. Meals were out fairly quick which was great. I ordered the fillet mignon (m/r) . It was beautiful, cooked to perfection. Was a quite a good experience overall and would go again :)

I have been going to Tony's now for 30 years.  Last night we had a party of 50+  food was great, staff were so helpful and how did they get us all eating at the same time, awesome.  The chef needs an award because we were not the only group there.  No complaints the price ($35) was remarkable.  Still talking about our night out today just great.

Booked for the 3 course meal last Friday for my birthday we had a table of 12. As it was very busy and our group was the only group on time we had our orders rushed forward. Even with a set menu the owner happily made a vegetarian option for one person. Only downsides where some meals where huge and some tiny. The steak was perfect well mine was others complained of sizing differences, I guess that's for cooking time. Dessert was good the fudge cake a little dry needs more sauce. Other then that very fast and efficient service will be back for sure.

I have been coming here since I was 10. We had family dinners here all the time when I was growing up and as an adult now I still return and am never disappointed. The staff are lovely and everything is well priced. My only complaint would be the sauce the lamb shanks are served with, it’s a strong taste and just not overly pleasant, but that's just my opinion. I still give 5 stars and will keep coming back

5 stars for a 5 star evening. Chef & menu are first class! Staff were friendly & welcoming. Our meals... OMG!!! Huge, mouth watering & making me hungry again just thinking about it as I type this. I had the T bone steak (which makes the T bone steak from Denny's look like a funny bone) & my wife had the chicken, both meals were just off the scale. Melts like butter. Excellent atmosphere & truly a must dine at if you're out West. Take a big appetite when you do, as you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend & look forward to our next dining experience at Tony's Restaurant & Bar.

Went here again last night and had the $35 deal - IT WAS AWESOME. Can't recommend it highly enough!!
You have to call and pre-book if you want the set menu deal though.

The young guy who served us, Colin was just brilliant. I've had service in 5 star hotels overseas that didn't match up to the service he delivered. Well done bud.

The only gripe was i ordered Well done steak and got a VERY bloody medium/rare piece served. I wasn't gonna send it back when I'm paying $35 for three courses though......

We've been here 5 times now.

The food however is always excellent!
You SIMPLY MUST HAVE the Banoffee pie, it is just epic!!

Reminds me of Cobb & Co in the 80's before they went to the dogs....

They have kids cocktails which my son loves and activity packs with crayons etc so he's not bored while waiting for food. $15 kids meal including Main, dessert and a drink (and activity pack) is great value.

Overall, really VERY good

The meals everyone had were enjoyed whole heartedly. I would reccomend the bread and dip, amazing! The meal sizes were fantAstic and well worth their price. Tips if you plan on eating the ribs and dont have a big apetite share it with a friend or risk a beef coma!!

Hubby and I have been to Tonys a few times now and we love going there. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed, homely you could say. The meals...man, do not eat anything before going there, they are huge!!!. And they are well priced. I love going here because I like home cooked type meals, I guess you could call it steakhouse/bar food/English pub type meals, and Tonys is all that. I haven't tried their desserts yet because I am soo full from the really yummy bread, to my main.

We are going there again next week, and will be going there more regular , so that we can try all the different things on the menu.... so far I have had the lamb shanks....mmmm, and twice now had the burger and chips..and twice now, I have not been able to finish it...it's soo huge ha ha. Thank you so much Tonys for always making our trip there so enjoyable!! ♥ ♥

An enjoyable informal lovely restaurant. It has been here for many years, and has enjoyable meals and relaxed friendly service. Perfect steak, cooked to perfection as you ask; they seem to find staff who enjoy the clientele they serve. We (and my daughter separately) have visited about monthly for many years to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and wonderful meals.

Recommended for a lovely and value-for-$(in today's times) very enjoyable meal. Great!

I have been to Tonys 5 times 3times last year and twice this year, have had Dinner and Lunch. This place is excellent the service is friendly and proffessional the restaurant itself is spacious and cool especially in the last hot months we have had.There is a coolness in the air and the space at the tables is great. Being a larger person sometimes restaurant tables and chairs are a bit small but here there is elbow room and still more. The food, is devine the Carpetbag was cooked to perfection and the salads and vegetables are fresh tasty and delicious. The garlic bread is hot and tasty and the soup of the day is pure creamy delight.I dont eat desert so cant comment on that but no doubt like everything else it would be just perfect I am sure.The toilets are clean and smell clean and there is toilet paper :) After writing this I have decided where we will be eating tonight mmmmm lol

2000hrs. Just returned from dinner, once again great service excellent food.It was quite busy but the waiting staff always checking to see we were taken care of (we had a lovely young tall man tonite). Compliments to you and the chef.

My family and I have enjoyed eating out at Tony's over the years since we moved west. We cerebrated my 50th birthday there with the whole family and we have just celebrated my niece 21st birthday there on Saturday 16/10/10.

Tony's staff was very helpful and was able to fit the whole family and friends of 40 plus. We appreciate Tony's staff and dinners for putting up with our volume of noise. The food and the atmosphere was divinely delicious.

Thank you Tony and staff, 'WE WILL BE BACK"

We are a group from North & South who meet approx every 3-4 months to have a good get together. Knowing from the past how Tonys had been we went (all 11 of us with 2 children)for lunch on Saturday. We were not disappointed. Staff were most friendly and food was tops. Did not hear one bad comment about the meals. One commented who had the pork dish was "I would have been happy with half of the portion" but he ate it all and I'm picking as a local he will certainly be re visiting. Chris you have been there a long time, you have maintained the high standards you set many years ago and the presentation of meals has reached A+ . A nice place to go you won't be disappointed.

I've eaten here many times and I have always enjoyed the experience. The staff are friendly the food is good. The prices are fair, the atmosphere I like. The only negative for me is they bring you a drink and they never come back to give you a refill. It's like they think you only want one drink. But I guess it's good they aren't trying to get you drunk.

The Hostess was pleasant and our Waitress exuded a dire need to cater to us and I'm grateful but both their behaviours seemed almost patronizing. My meal (Fish n Chips), although nice to eat and presented well, was not value for money. Other more up-market restaurants give bigger prece of fish for less than what i was charged so wasn't happy with that. Also slice of banoffee pie for $14 (all Desserts same peice) was not value for money with. Would have been cheaper to buy the whole pie rather than per slice.
