“ First time visiting Fat Tonys, and the food and service are awesome. Friendly staff and a quick turnaround on the best of New Zealand cuisine at affordable prices. Follow it up with a Ritual coffee experience. Fat Tonys is just past Grovetown on SH1 between Blenheim and Picton. Highly recommend. ”
“ The quality of the food here is incredible, and of great value. We both had the fish and chips and the salad was incredible, even though I'm not really a salad person. The woman at the counter was very lovely and made excellent coffee - She was so sweet as well even as I repeatedly went up to the counter to ask for things (sorry!) Some of the staff looked almost depressed, but they didn't let it interfere with their phsyical job, so it didn't effect our experience much. ”
“ Delicious food and reasonably priced. Even though it is a little bit out of town, it is definitely worth the trip. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are friendly and accomodating. I would highly recommend them and would stop by everytime I'm passing by hungry. ”
“ Food here are perfect and a good atmosphere here. Lovely working staff. We had been here for brunch several times. But some of the dishes when it’s served it looks like a starter not a main dish, for example the fettuccine alfredo, compared to the spaghetti in Dodson St with 2 breads at almost same price ”
