This place was a huge disappointment, especially after reading the other reviews. We expected top notch food and service, but that is so far from what we got. The wings were underdone and breaded which takes away a gluten-free option. Not tasty at all. They did make the boneless wings gluten-free, but they were overcooked. The pizza was not very good either. If you want pizza and wings, go elsewhere like Up North. The loaded fries were extra crispy and did not have all the toppings as written on the menu. The best thing we got was the garlic knots. The clam chowder was nothing special. After we got our order, the waitress did not check on us or keep the drinks filled. We had to call for her in order to get her attention to get refills and the bill. We wish we would have known about the credit card fees before we came so that we would have brought more cash. Prices are high to begin with, so paying 3 % more for using a credit card adds insult to injury. The bathroom wasn’t good either. I almost got hit by the stall door after washing my hands due to where everything is located. Plus, the handwash was empty.

As frequent winter visitors to the area, Tony Harper’s has become our absolute favorite spot to dine every week we’re in town. The food is always consistently outstanding, never missing the mark! The Whiskey Wings are a true standout–whether you go for bone-in or boneless, they’re packed with flavor and easily our top choice. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out! We were also blown away by the freshness and flavor of the Bucket of Clams–they exceeded our expectations in every way. The pizza is consistently delicious, and the sandwiches never disappoint. My personal favorite is the Naked Raquette, which I highly recommend. After years of visiting, we’ve never had a bad meal.
Esther, the manager, adds so much to the experience with her warm and welcoming personality. She’s always attentive, ensuring every guest is enjoying their time. Nick and Hannah behind the bar are fast, friendly, and create amazing drinks. The beer selection on tap is always cold and refreshing. Every visit is a highlight, and we can’t wait to return each week!

All I can say is WOW. GOLD STAR FOR LETITIA- she was so wonderfully helpful. Also, we loved SOPHIA our waitress. Honestly everyone who works there is so fun and friendly- our family had a blast. And the pizza was delicious. Especially the one with the tomato garlic basil. I dream of it.

Busy, Polaris party was boring. People said it would be great. Not. Lady Announcer was too loud, Pizza was good. Clams were small, but ok. Too loud for me.

Keeping this one short – quality place with good pizza and wings. We got a sausage and cherry pepper, and a supreme minus the red onion and black olive. Both very good. They have quality spirits and friendly, helpful staff that works together. We also got mild and hot wings. They are slightly breaded, and the hot is not very hot. It was more like an almost medium, but tasty. They were naturally crispy with the light breading. Highly recommend.

Paige our server was great. They have a bar , Sports on TV and music playing. There are outdoor seating with picnic tables picnic tables with umbrellas add bar seating as well as regular seating. They can accommodate larger groups. We had a specialty pizza, salads clam chowder a bucket of clams and a lobster roll and hamburger. Something tasted funny not fishy but odd the Caesar salad so we sent that back. The clam chowder was running did not seem like a homemade can of chowder otherwise the rest of the food was great. And given it’s in Old Forge the pricing was good and the weight was not long especially since we just got out of the Enchanted Forest as did many others and so the town was flooded with people. I would definitely return visit

My family has been coming to this place for years. My grandfather loved it when he was alive and as it’s been a while since I came, I was excited to revisit it. It was very busy, so the wait time was expected to be long, and that’s fine. The hostess was extremely nice, and updated us as we waited there. And the food did take longer, but again, that was expected.
However, our waiter barely came over and after years of not visiting… I’m wondering if nostalgia baiting me into missing this place. The food was… just ok. The pizza was cooked well, but it left a lot to be desired. The lobster roll was an odd “lobster salad” that was sweet, though someone else at my table really liked it, so that is left for interpretation. But it was agreed that the pizza (the thing this place is known for) was incredibly, as the kids say, “mid”.
The whiskey wings were very delicious though, so I’d highly recommend that. I, however, won’t be back.

Always stop here when in Old Forge. The red, white and blue wings are AMAZING. Wings are nice and crispy! Pizza is always great too. Shrimp po boy was a little underwhelming. Service is a little hit or miss. This last trip a party was waiting a bit to be seated/for hostess to come out, when there was plenty of open seating. The bus boy seated them and then another staff member was just rude in the way she spoke to him in the middle of the dining room, telling him only certain people are allowed to seat people.
