Restaurant review: Tony's Cedar Key, Florida

What can I say about Tony's except that they are the most popular place in Cedar Key to dine, ask any local, this is the place they recommend. We decided to have lunch here on a Friday in April. We got there at about 11:45 a.m. and we were not the first ones. 

You can't have lunch here without trying the clam chowder. It is New England style and I can't even believe as a New Englander that I am saying this, it is the best clam chowder I have ever taste. I'm not the only one that thinks that it is award-winning chowder. We liked it so much, we bought a quart to take home for later. They have even canned it. 

While the chowder is

certainly a winner, the rest of the food isn't lacking in any way. 

Tony's offers a wide variety of steamed and fried seafood. This is the combo platter and it was a platter full of deliciousness. 

We were lucky enough to find a parking spot literally in front of the restaurant, otherwise, parking can be a bit tricky but take the time to find a spot, you won't be disappointed.
