Tony Roma’s is truly a gem in Durham! The food is consistently delicious (the salmon is chef’s kiss), the drinks are amazing, and the atmosphere always feels warm and welcoming. Every time I visit, I’m reminded why this is one of my favorite places to dine.
Natasha, the manager, is a standout. She goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels seen, cared for, and well taken care of. Even when she’s covering so much ground, she does it with such grace, patience, and professionalism—it’s honestly inspiring to watch. I just wish she had more staff to support her, because she deserves a whole team behind her!
Big shoutout to Sandra and Taylor as well—they are phenomenal and always make the experience feel personal and fun.
Whenever my parents travel to North Carolina, their first stop is always Tony Roma’s—and it never disappoints.
Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great food, great vibes, and exceptional people.
It’s a hidden gem- one that I want to take to the next level with business!! Natasha and team deserves it!

Went to Tony Roma's because I wanted some babyback ribs and knew they would be way better than Chili's. I was absolutely satisfied with the quality, flavor, and tenderness of the ribs. To top it off, my wife's salad with chicken breast on top was equally delicious. Lastly, our server (named Tony), was the perfect balance of attention and privacy. Go here and you'll leave satisfied. Don't forget to order the onion ring loaf.

Went here for Father's Day and my husband's Birthday. The food was pretty good. Due to a lack of staffing the food and service were a little slow.
Now we traveled from Charlotte for 2.5 hours to get the BOUNTIFUL BEEF RIBS only to get there and be told that they've sold out. Mind you the restaurant opened at 4 and we got there at 5:30 so I don't think they had any to start with after being told they would (reason for the drive). We ended up trying the pork ribs, which were good but they just weren't what we drove all that time for.

This establishment truly is a hidden gem that deserves more visibility, despite not being easily spotted from the main road. What they might lack in roadside presence, they more than make up for with their fantastic food and incredibly friendly and fun staff. I highly recommend the beef ribs, which were not only fantastic but also quite reasonably priced. The potato soup was also a standout, easily one of the best I've had in a long time. I will definitely be returning!

Loved it! Great modern atmosphere...Plenty of seating and you have your choice where you want to sit...Service was quick and servers are friendly and take pride in their hygiene and appearance which is definitely a plus...Food is absolutely incredible! Loved the beef ribs... cooked tender..sauce is seasoned nicely..and very meaty....Salmon and shrimp piccotti was delicious!
Salmon was not dry and shrimp is fresh...plenty of white sauce and rice is moist and fluffy! Whenever I'm in the area we will stop here again!

We decided on this restaurant because it is close to Top Golf. The restaurant was not full by any means. Our server took our orders, served our drinks, and did not come to check on us. We had to ask her for our check. She kept our change. We had an issue with the price of our appetizers. The menu stated $2 off appetizers during happy hour. She told us that it was limited to one appetizer. The food was okay but nothing special. I probably won't go back.

Stopped here with a friend for dinner. He got ribs and I had the jalapeño burger…. Both were really good. Nice clean place. Service was great. Food served hot.

Amazing! Traveled from Charleston, SC & of course we needed some great food after landing. Looked at restaurants near by & this one caught my eye! The food was amazing! The server was great. My friend and I ordered different things but ate off of each others plate, bragging on how good everything was ! We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again!

I stayed at the hotel for a week and visited the restaurant several times. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent each time. It was well prepared and presented. I visited once at 730pm when it was very busy, as busy as it gets, and still found the experience pleasant. I also visited when it was quiet at 5pm. Both times the second and did were good. The fillet medallions served medium were very nice cuts of tender meat. Highly recommend. They also have Heineken 0.0 available. Several TVs show sports, so it's a good option to dine alone too.

Overall the food was pretty good but I struggled with a 3 or 4 star for this review. 1. When we walked in on a Saturday night it wasn’t busy at all. The hostess had headphones in. She wasn’t very pleasant. She said where do you want to sit. Which was fine but kind of odd. We chose our seat which was next to a table that needed to be cleaned. It wasn’t cleared or clean for a good 30 minutes. Our waitress was phenomenal. Super pleasant and attentive. The food was a bit salty. But the portions were large and our kids loved their huge kids meals. Hopefully they will work on their staff and cleanliness in the future.

My boss and I were in town training so naturally we ate here a couple times. The staff is super friendly and was super helpful helping us learn. The restaurant is beautiful and very welcoming. The food always came out hot and delicious. I can’t wait to open up our location here in Great Falls, Montana.
