Cleverly hidden in the heart of MacGregor Village, Tony’s Bourbon Street Oyster Bar is a treasure worth hunting for. Its cuisine and décor is as close to New Orleans as you can get in the Triangle. The restaurant is spacious and functional, the perfect venue for good food and good times. The dining area is crisp with white table linens and wood. The Raw Bar is split into sections for easy maneuverability. There you can enjoy fresh oysters, steamed shrimp, steamed clams, king crab and snow crab. The main dining room is designed to convert into a stage and dance floor after dinner hours. There’s plenty of room for you and a few hundred of your closest friends.
Soups- On a cold day, nothing satisfies like soup. Tony’s soups are guaranteed to hit the spot in any climate. The She Crab soup is slightly spicy but not too rich and you’re guaranteed to get a lump of crabmeat in each bite. The New England clam chowder is also excellent and full of so many clams it makes you wonder why it’s usually served with crackers. The seafood stew is tomato-based and a little spicier than the rest, but is also full of seafood.
As a general rule, Tony’s will never shortchange you on the seafood.
Best Hush Puppies- If you are hungry and near Tony’s, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least try their hush puppies or cheese biscuits. Although the South is home to many self-proclaimed hush puppy connoisseurs, they’d be hard-pressed to find better hush puppies in the Triangle area. Also not to be missed are the sweet potato fries. Tony’s is also known for their Buffalo seafood. This is your choice of shrimp, scallops, oysters or crawfish fried and tossed in hot sauce just like their poultry counterparts with ranch dressing on the side.
Cajun Food- If it’s Cajun food you crave, you should definitely check out some of the Creole and Cajun dishes featured on the menu. The jambalaya has just the right amount of kick and doesn’t kick you back. If you’re looking for excellent crawfish, but aren’t wild about the effort it takes to shell them, I highly recommend the crawfish etoufee. It’s absolutely amazing! If you can’t decide on just one delicacy from the bayou, the Cajun sampler features the jambalaya, Creole gumbo, and crawfish etoufee in just the right amounts topped with blackened shrimp.
Fresh Seafood- The seafood is fresh and cooked to perfection. Every dish is served with its own sauce chosen specifically to compliment the flavor of your seafood selection. For example, the blackened seafood is served with a delicious mustard cream sauce. The crab cakes are a menu standout. They contain just the right amount of spice, are made with just enough breading to hold them together and are topped with a splash of hollandaise sauce for balance. These are not your average crab cakes. After trying these, other crab cakes will seem inferior.
Dessert- You will also want to save room for dessert. At the end of your meal, you will be greeted by a tray of the following favorites: The Chocolate Volcano, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Mousse Torte, Apple Pie, New York Style Cheesecake, Tiramisu, and Bananas Foster. Other tasty treats include Trackside and Mississippi Mud pies. If you’re a fan of the seven-layer bar, Trackside Pie is its distant cousin. Both of these desserts are the richest on the menu so beware. Mississippi Mud Pie is even rumored to taste like brownie batter. At Tony’s, it’s okay to let the dessert course bring out the kid in all of us.
Known for live music on the weekends, Tony’s also offers a karaoke dance party on Thursdays to get the weekend started early. If you time it just right, you may be thrown a string of Mardi Gras beads in appreciation of your patronage. Be sure to check the schedule for your favorite local bands.
During dining hours, smoking is confined to the Raw Bar and Libation Lounge, where you can also order the full menu. Steamed Oysters are the only food available exclusively at the Raw Bar. After the live music begins, smoking is allowed everywhere.
For corporate events or private parties, Tony’s is equipped with a private room that seats up to 30 people and a private section that seats up to 60 people.
Whether you’re looking for great food, live music, or a fun night out, Tony’s is the perfect venue for all of the above. With its Bourbon Street feel, Tony’s is an escape to New Orleans without the airfare. For a taste of Mardi Gras year round, come to Tony’s.
