I had a platter of unlimited clams and some fresh shrimp dishes. It was one of the best foods I ever had in Cedar Key. The clam chowder there is the best that I have ever tasted. Definitely worth visiting again. Our hostess was very warm and welcoming, she made sure that everything was good for us and we are happy.

The chowder is amazing! It has a nice spice to it, not just the traditional New England flavor.
The ladies working are beyond nice and even hand wrote the directions. Check out the pamphlet about the history, 3 time reigning champs, peoples vote.

The best service I have ever received. The servers were amazing, friendly and attentive. Excellent food with great prices. They are well known for there clam chowder. It was well worth the 3 hour drive. We will return.

The clam chowder really IS 5 ⭐️s. We drove 3 hours from Kissimmee to Cedar Key and had to stop in. Service was quick on a Thursday at 2:00pm, our waitress was friendly and attentive. My man got the chili dog with cheese and also gave it 5 ⭐️s too. Hush puppies were delicious and so were the fried shrimp. Bummer that it closes at 3pm because I would’ve been back for more super come dinner time!

Stopped here for lunch while we were staying Cedar Key bc of all the rave reviews!! It did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly. Claim Chowder was amazing (I am pretty snobby when it comes to Clam Chowder being from New England). Food was delicious. Highly recommend stopping here for lunch and then heading across the street to the little Coffee Cafe for chocolate covered Key Lime pie on a stick for dessert.

The clam chowder was delicious. There is limited seating but we had no problems getting one. The restaurant also sells their concentrated canned clam chowder for 7.50 a can.

We were in Cedar Key just for one day. So we had 3 restaurants in mind that we wanted to visit, each for their specific signature items. Here was their famous clam chowder. Many times when a restaurant has such a high reputation you find yourself disappointed. However their clam chowder lives to its expectations! It is truly the best we have eaten, and we have eaten plenty of clam chowders. It is creamy and rich yet not heavy. It is thick and chunky complimented with the fresh flavors of the herbs they add, which besides flavor it also adds texture and color. We enjoyed this clam chowder so much that we purchased several cans to enjoy back at home and to give to family and friends. As a side note, service was friendly but very slow. We had to wait quite a bit for everything, however it was worth the wait!!!!

Great chowder soup! Nice staff. We tried a couple of the sandwiches and they were good but if you are there you have to eat the chowder soup for sure.

Really good. It’s a must stop if you’re in cedar key.. I’m not even really a clam chowder fan, but my wife and I shared a bowl and it was delicious.The shrimp roll was also great and filling. They don’t skimp.. Oh and the staff is super friendly. Next time we’re in cedar Key we’ll be back.

7/2021: Great fish and their famous clam chowder soup! My wife and I ordered the Fish O Filet Lunch Special. The fish tasted really good and the price too. The place was not too big and so you will see people sitting outside waiting to be seated from time to time. You can tell it must be good by that:). Servers were very friendly. Only thing I hope they can do better is to stay open later. Not only good for the tourists but also for their business.. .
Update: 7/18/2022. Exactly a year later, we went to eat at the Tony’s Restaurant again as we visited Cedar Key. We both ordered the Fish O Filet Lunch Special and cup of clam chowder again. We were surprised to find the Lunch Special price had gone up 40%, from $9.99 to $13.99. The quality of the fish also seems degraded. It seems a different kind of fish compared with the one we had a year ago. The fish was also battered differently, not as good as before. The size of the cup clam chowder was also smaller while its price had gone up $1. In view of the above, I have lowered my ratings from 5 Star in 7/2021 to 3 Star in 7/2022.
Photos show the difference of the Fish O Filet: The photo showing the fish thinner (flatter) was 2022, while the thicker fish with tartar sauce on it was taken in 2021.
