I've been a fan of M*A*S*H since I was a kid. I just had to go to a Tony Packo's while I was in town. The staff was quite friendly, when I entered. The chicken paprikash was pretty darn good, even for being in a "fast food" type of setting. And of course I got one of those famous hotdogs. I'd like to go to the original someday, but I didn't have time. I'm sure I'll be back.
5-star experience all the way. Staff and Manager went out of there way to explain the menu and offer samples of their signature dishes. Food was amazing. Where else on Earth can you find Eastern European food options such as Stuffed Cabbage and Perogies in a Fast Food setting with a drive-thru? The Manager took the time to speak to us before leaving about our travels and to tell us more about Packo's and their famous pickles. Wish there was one here in Pittsburgh!! Thank you Packo's on Secor Road!!!!
Triple anniversary 2022. Open 90 years this year, 50 years of “bun signing” and 50 years since MASH came out. We both had the Packo Dog Combo. It consisted of the unique Hungarian hot dog, a side (we opted for the Paprikas dumplings) and a soft drink. Then we found a table, took in the decor, including the signed buns and enjoyed our $25 lunch. We checked out the cute little gift store in the back corner and bought 2 delicious chocolate chip cookies for the road.
My family's from Toledo but moved away a long time ago. We make the trek back every year or two and hit Packo's as often as we can. This location has great employees and even better food. When they learned I was from out of town they offered me a free jar of pickles. Generosity at its best.
Packos dogs were delicious as always. This is not my favorite location as the front of house staff is mostly grumpy. No thank you, welcome or even a here you go. Nothing except a grumpy face.
Great food! A little pricey for what you get at times. $2 dogs on Tuesdays are a good deal though!
Hot dogs are good. Best pickles ever. Chicken paprikash is the worst I've ever had. Inedible.
While visiting Toledo one must visit Tony Packo’s, right? While the place was really interesting because of its history and ‘celebrity buns,’ we were disappointed in our hotdogs and sides. A backyard BBQ was better. Small hotdogs and a partially stale bun just did not cut it for the hype and the money. The other menu items could have been very good, I don’t know. The wall buns outdid the real ones for our visit.
Everything we tried was delicious. The hot dogs, stuffed cabbage, dumplings, chili - all of it. Be prepared to pay, though. Our plates cost $16 - $20 each. The signatures on the buns are interesting, and there is a little gift shop also. You get plenty of food, so you shouldn’t leave hungry!
If you've never been to Toledo, you have to go to Tony Packo's. They are renowned for their hot dogs and pickles. It is good for kids and adults. The cafe has. Even around since 1932, was mentioned on M*A*S*H* and has numerous autographs of celebrities on what appear to be hot dog buns. It's fun to walk around and see who has been there as well as the gift shop after you've eaten. They have different deals on different days. We were there on $2 Tuesdays. You order at the counter and can sometimes get it handed to you fresh right away. The only delay I had with my food was with the deep fried pickles and even then it was only a matter of a couple minutes. The food is excellent and comes to you quick. If you have never been to Toledo, this place is a must. There are other franchises around but this one on Front Street is the original. If you like hot dogs and/or pickles, you will not be disappointed.
