    Upon entering , the lady ( not sure if she was the owner ) was extremely kind ! I don't think I met a nicer lady in El Paso !!! They offered samples , that were outstanding ! Got the brisket and chicken , I don't believe I have had this good of BBQ in a long time ! We were from out of town , and next time we are in town , we will be back ! Thanks for the awesome service and food !!!

    Excellent service! The women who greeted me told me the story of Tony’s and were so warm and welcoming! The meat was scrumptious and filled me up. The prices are reasonable for bbq in Texas and I was absolutely impressed by their fast service. I’ll be going back for more and I’d recommend you do too.

    First time customer, felt right at home. Amazing customer service, over the phone and in person. Went in 30 minutes before closing and still received fresh food and attentive service. #5 combo was delicious, 2 pork ribs and beef brisket sandwich with all the fixin’s (onion, Chile, mustard, pickles). Highly recommend and will definitely be going back when I’m in the area.

    Stopped by today for lunch, first time ever going. The woman serving was so delightful, she helped me pick my food and then checked on me when I was eating. Had the #6 which was a brisket sandwich with fries, it was a good portion for the price. 10 out of 10 recommend!

    Love it here. I used to work nearby, and I took it for granted. Now that I don't, I'm loving it again.

  • 5/5 JP C. 6 months ago on Google
    I stopped here for the first time with my wife and daughter. Such a friendly staff. I had the hash burrito, pulled pork sandwich, and brisket plate. Ice tea and lemonade to drink and that's what call a homerun! I would recommend this to anyone. Will be back soon!

    Great Great Great food!! We had been wanting to try this place, and WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. Staff is super friendly and helped us order, and everything we tried was great. We skipped breakfast to arrive right when they opened . We were hungry so we didn't take any pictures but we will be going back so I'll take them next time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    This place is amazing.. stumbled upon this place while running errands and have been back multiple times since.. their high reviews speak for itself.. portion sizes good, quality amazing, meat tender and juicy.. sides are really good as well.. the fact I didn’t know of this place until now is a travesty and im glad I was lucky enough to enjoy they’re amazing food.

  • 5/5 Tricia G. 5 months ago on Google
    This place is AMAZING!!! Food is delicious, customer service is the best! The awesome lady chopping the meat at the front where you place your order, she's gold! Will be recommending to others and coming back often!

  • 4/5 richard s. 1 year ago on Google
    Except for being initially ignored by the staff while waiting to order, not bad. A little pricey but the quality is good. It's hard to tell where one is supposed to order and where to pay. But all in all, I would still go back. Tasty food. Strange but good hole-in-wall place.

  • 3/5 yolanda p. 1 year ago on Google
    To start off customer service was good, the lady was very kind and helpful, only reason im giving it ⭐⭐⭐. But food was not what I expectd for all the good reviews it has and beeing almost a 5 star restaurant. Not the Texas BBQ I was expecting. Got there right when they opend food wasnt as warm and not tasty, BBQ sauce was super waterd down. We literally left most of the food. I mention it to the guy that rang me up and Seemed super careless not even said, like Im sorry is there anything else that you will like to try or at least give a discount, try to make the situation better. Just charge me $72 that whent to the trash bcus food was just left on the table. If yall ever trying to go to California go try Aptos BBQ its not Texas BBQ but its definitely delish.

    THE BEST BBQ IN EL PASO! HANDS DOWN! The ladies that work here are lovely! Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Raquel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to this place for more than 20 years. I always order the brisket sandwich with everything...de-licious!!! That good! Their other stuff is also very good and the staff is always friendly and courteous.

    I live this place and my dad too. He is spoiled though. Since he moved to Austin he needed his Tony's fix and got him 5 lbs of hash. He is a super happy man now.

  • 5/5 Garrett V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great meal. I felt like I got a lot for the price. I got the #3 with brisket, sausage, chili, and cheese fries. The staff was lovely, everyone very friendly, and helpful helping me decide. I liked the feel of this place. Neat restaurant.

  • 5/5 Ricky V. 2 years ago on Google
    Best customer service around. Very friendly staff. They make you feel like family. Small place with big flavor and honest prices.

  • 3/5 Daniel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Customer service was really good. Food wasn’t that great. Brisket and sausage was in a simple word tasteless. Quantity was great but quality was below my expectations.

  • 5/5 Armando D. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently went there on an early Saturday morning and purchased a 1and a half lean brisket sandwich, Let me tell you It was the best juciest, tender flavorfull lean brisket I have ever eaten, very nice pink color meat and nice mild smokey flavor, you could taste the brisket. At first I was scared off by the $10 dlls price but I was glad to buy it cause it was worth it, the sandwich was loaded with the best brisket, I loved the fact that the server put lots of beef and didn't skimp out . I would like to point out that you come here to eat Brisket / Beef not vegetables or chicken. period.
