History

Established in 1997.

«At the Corner of 9^th & Post Office»

The plans to run a humble smoothie business blossomed over sixteen years into a much grander reality. Less than a year after opening, customers began to request sandwiches, burgers and other lunch items. «If I was going to expand, I didn’t want just any burger, I wanted the best burger. Then I remembered the most amazing burger I had ever eaten was at Christie’s Beachcomber on Stewart Beach,» said Tony. At once, Gonzalez was on the phone trying to locate the original maker of that awesome burger. He succeeded in locating chef Isias Amaya and the rest is history.

Throughout the past sixteen years, Smooth Tony’s has gradually added new menu selections and has grown up to become a local hotspot known for its fish tacos, delicious wraps, salads, pulled pork sandwiches, and of course those famous burgers, as well as a diverse list of fine wines and beers. And yes, they still make those unforgettable smoothies!
