“The Name You Know, the Food You Love”
That’s the clever slogan for a fairly new joint in Dayton, Tony’s.
Where you know the name from is county fairs, festivals and special outdoor events in the area, where Tony’s has been a wheeled, canopied fixture for a long time. Now, the owners have planted themselves as well into a spot at 2920 Wayne Ave. (right near where Watervliet splits off).
What’s on the menu? Well, Brother Ray and I stopped in a while back and sampled the Philly Cheesesteak and the Giant Texas Tenderloin. It was, well, giant. Good, too!
They’ve got pizza, salads, gyros, lots of good sides — and funnel cakes! In fact, they’ve also the sort of stuff you would expect to find at the fair midway: chili cheese fries, giant onion rings, spiral potators, fried pickles. Heaven help us, even deep-fried Twinkies.
Look, you needed a good reason to go work out tomorrow, anyway, right? That’s what Brother Ray always says he’s gonna do after we eat. But, pssst: I don’t believe him.
Stop by Tony’s and tell us what you think. Call ahead for hours: 937-258-8550.
BTW, they haven’t stopped the touring, outdoor festival thing. I spotted their booth at the Alpine Festival at Carillon Park Saturday … and yes, there was a line. Of course there was a line! It’s Tony’s!

Brother Ron, I drove by there today,turned around and spent the next 45 minutes at the fair without the crowd. Had a Gyro and 2 orders of deep fried pickels. And yes I will work out tonight and in the morning.
