We absolutely LOVE Tony's Ice Cream!! It has been a tradition in our family for years. The milkshakes are the best, even with the price it is totally worth it. I would def recommend to all my friends

Tony's has the best milkshakes ever! They may seem a little pricey but they are huge and perfect for sharing. Make sure to get one without a lid and you will get a huge scoop of ice cream on top! ... More

Tony's has the best milkshakes ever! They may seem a little pricey but they are huge and perfect for sharing. Make sure to get one without a lid and you will get a huge scoop of ice cream on top! Aside from the milkshakes you can get all kinds of sundaes and awesome banana splits. Tony's makes their own ice cream right across the street. They also have a small grill that serves hotdogs and livermush sandwiches but the grill closes early.

I too have grown up with Tony's Ice Cream. It's absolutely the best! My favorite is the butter pecan shake.....YUM! A word of advice.....get a spoon! There are so many pecans in there, they'll stop up your straw! Be nice to the people that work there. They work hard and do a lot of bending for your palate's pleasure. Pros: Most delicious ice cream you'll ever eat! Thumbs WAY up! Cons: "May" contain a few extra calories

Okay, so the food line is to the right of the ice cream counter. And there's an ATM machine near the door, cash only folks. This is a true institution. There were several Tony's locations, but this is the last one to survive. They make all their own ice cream at the factory next door. I personally do what the locals do, head to the Shrimp Boat, Twin Tops Fish Camp, or R.O.'s BBQ for a bite to eat, then head to Tony's for dessert. The food is GREAT as junk food goes, but you really came for the ice cream! If you are gonna order something, go southern style with some Pimento Cheese sandwiches or "all the way" hot dogs with homemade chili and onions. Shakes are made the old fashioned way. Hand dipped with a paddle, milk, blender. Then top it with another paddle of ice cream. My friend's favorite is Banana. Highly recommended. My favorite is the hot fudge sundae. Add the "Wet Walnuts" for $1 more. I go for Vanilla, since the hot fudge is AWESOME with the walnuts. Topped with whipped cream and a cherry. My aunt made the mistake of ordering the Banana Split one time. The mistake was that it could feed a family of four! It's HUGE! So, come hungry, eat messy, and leave with a smile on your face. I always tip, seems they don't get many. But hey, when you're getting homemade icecream sundaes for under $5 you can afford to be generous. They do have kiddie size scoops available. So bring a crowd. Did you know there's two drive-in theatres in Gaston County? Under $10 a carload. With first-run, still in theatre movies. One is closer to Charlotte at the Belmont exit. They have a double feature, with the first one starting at dusk. This is a town you should get to know. And Tony's Ice Cream is sure to become a weekend tradition. I'll see you there! Pros: Historic. Excellent Homemade Icecream. Huge Portions. Only 20 mins from Charlotte. Cons: Not enough seating. Not enough room in my tummy for the huge portions.

As a resident of Gastonia and the daughter of a BBQ man from Greensboro, I know a good hot dog and Tony's has a pretty good hot dog. Not as good as JW Nuckles from Greensboro, but fair. Have tried their Ice Cream and don't see the big deal. West End in Greensboro tops them all. As for Tony's, beware of their French Fries, as either their oil is low quality or they don't change it very often....otherwise Hot Dogs are decent. Pros: Good Hot Dogs, Lemon ice cream Cons: Nasty French Fries...bad grease

This is a local little grill that serves up burgers, hotdogs, barbeque, etc. But that's not the main attraction. The fresh icecream is fantastic! They have a huge variety of flavors. Definitely try the black walnut milkshake. The staff is very friendly and service is fast. You can't go wrong at Tony's.

We heard about Tony's and we tried it. Being an ice cream fanatic I was disapointed. the ice cream seemed to have a lot of air making it less creamy. as for the food. there are much better places in Gastonia. As for the nostalga there is charm in the history unfortunatly there is very few seats after you recieve your food you can't get a seat. For history and hometown Tony's is the place just look and then eat somewhere else.
