Growing up locally in Robstown, Texas. Tony, the youngest of five brothers, had a lifelong dream of one day owning his own restaurant. He would often sit on his mother’s kitchen countertop watching her cook homemade tortillas and Mexican food from scratch.

During his high school summer years, he would work with his father mastering the trade as a framer. Soon after high school, he continued in his father’s footsteps as a framer but never strayed too far from the kitchen. As a soul devoted husband of over 33 years and father of three children, he always cooked for his family and friends at every gathering.

After years, as a successful self-employed business owner of a framing and custom home-building company, he decided to turn his focus to his passion for cooking. Tony started as a general manager at a local restaurant, and to now owning his own catering company serving private school lunches for over 12 years. He continued to expand his business in the food industry by opening a food trailer better known as Flamin’ Grills, offering only the best products available.

After many nights of conversations with his wife and children, Tony felt it was the right time to open his own restaurant. He used all his knowledge of framing, construction, and interior design to create this one-of-a-kind steakhouse. He wanted the restaurant to have a feel of elegance yet casualness, “I want everyone to feel at home in my restaurant” – Tony. The goal of the restaurant is not only to offer you the best quality steaks & seafood but to allow you to feel as if you’re sitting at your own dining room table.
