Story

Tony Packo's has been serving authentic Hungarian food since 1932. Tony Packo's offers a delicious selection, from Sweet Hot Pickles to the signature Packo's Chili Hot Dog. The son of Hungarian immigrants, Tony Packo was a native East Toledoan. Tony was born in 1908, just a stone's throw from Consaul and Genesee streets. Tony Packo started out as a factory worker. That all changed when, in 1932, he and his wife got a $100 loan from relatives. No small feat, mind you, for this was during the hardest of hard times, the first years of the Great Depression. That same year he opened a sandwich and ice cream shop just around the corner from the place he was born. Tony had learned the restaurant business working for his older brother John, who owned a place across Consaul Street in what is now Tony Packo's parking lot. There was no beer at Packo's that first year. Prohibition would not be lifted until 1933.

Best hot dogs I’ve ever had. Stop at one of the locations every time I’m in town. This is my first trip to the original location and the atmosphere and history were great. Staff was friendly, smiled and were knowledgeable about the restaurant. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a Hungarian hot dog.

We had to go here since my husband was born in Budapest Hungary! Atmosphere was great with lots of memorabilia on the walls. We thought the food wasn't spicy enough for Hungarian but it was still good. Glad we got to experience this neat restaurant.

We stopped in while passing through Toledo. I was very impressed with the hot dogs and chili.  That is a lot coming from me because I normally don't like hot dogs. The waitress we had was very nice.  Prices are a little high but you get what you pay for.  The ONLY reason for less than 5 stars was the staff outside.  When I went back to the parking lot, a female staff member was leaning on the back of my Mustang chatting with the parking attendants!  (This is a car that goes to shows) Not cool! There was plenty of other things to lean on.  I will stop back - but please don't touch my car!

An old original that we stop at every time we are up this way. The food is consistently good, and of you've never been, check out the original; which is were we were a few weeks ago.

 I have to say, I do not remember his name, but the 6 or so foot white male server we had was phenomenal. Patient with my hard of hearing sister, went above and beyond explaining everything, seamlessly refilled our party of 6's drinks and checked in promptly each step of the way throughout our meal. I'd offer this man a job if he were in my area, he knows customer service and provided better service than many upscale restaurants. At minimum get this man a position as a trainer, it will go a long way for the business.

You have not had a chili dog, till you have been here. 29 years ago, 2 friends of mine and I took our prom dates from Madison Ohio to here in a limo we had rented. Best prom dinner ever! I have been coming here ever since. I drive semi now and never pass Toledo without stopping. If your in the area, this place is a must!!! Great staff, great food!
