Some Michigan restaurants serve big portions. Tony's I-75 Restaurant in Birch Run serves portions that have become part of state folklore.
The restaurant's most famous creation is its legendary BLT, stacked with an entire pound of bacon. Not a pound of sandwich. A pound of bacon. It's the kind of meal that makes first-time visitors stop and stare when it arrives at a neighboring table.
But the oversized BLT is just the beginning.
Tony's has built a reputation on gigantic breakfasts, massive omelets, giant pancakes, towering burgers, loaded fries, and desserts that seem determined to test the limits of both appetite and common sense.
Popular favorites include:
• The famous one-pound bacon BLT
• Giant pancakes larger than the plate
• Massive breakfast platters
• Loaded bacon cheddar fries
• Oversized burgers and sandwiches
• Peanut butter pie and other towering desserts
Located just off I-75, Tony's has become a tradition for countless Michigan families heading north to the cottage, traveling Up North, or returning home from a weekend getaway.
In an era when many restaurants seem to be shrinking portions, Tony's continues to do the exact opposite. It's not just a meal. It's a Michigan road trip experience, complete with enough leftovers to make tomorrow's lunch.
If you've ever eaten at Tony's, you probably remember exactly what you ordered. And if you've seen that BLT in person, you definitely remember it.
