Tony Packo's Cafe is a restaurant that started in the Hungarian neighborhood of Birmingham, on the east side of Toledo, Ohio, at 1902 Front Street.
Founded in 1932, the restaurant became famous when it was mentioned in several episodes of the 1972-83 M*A*S*H television series. Dubbed "Toledo’s most famous eatery"[1] and “a Toledo institution”,[2][3][4] it is noted for its signature sandwich and large collection of hot dog buns signed by celebrities.[5]
