Tony grew up in the restaurant industry in a family of restaurant connoisseurs. His family first created The Best Steakhouse, located near the U of M campus at the time, and then moved on to establish other well known restaurants: Nicklow's Restaurant and Santorini Taverna. This upbringing has cultivated Tony's interest in the restaurant industry and has driven him to establish Tony's Diner. Tony's Diner serves traditional diner food, but with a slight twist. As well as the typical burgers and fries, he also serves steak, phillies, gyros, and an amazing breakfast menu that is available throughout the entire day. In the early evening, the diner boasts a special menu of some of the best deals in all of Dinkytown.

If you are looking for a great deal on late-night food, we have a menu that will feed your hunger for a price that can't be beat! 2-for-1 pints of beer are also a local favorite of the many college students that reside in the area, which is just off the campus of the University of Minnesota. From the restaurant's start in 2002, Tony has been offering great food at a good bargain! Since then, Tony's connection to the community has grown significantly. Thank you for your support over the last several years, and thanks for continuing to enjoy the amazing food at Tony's Diner!
