My brother recently discovered Cuzin's and had been bugging me to visit with him. We visited on a…read moreSaturday afternoon and found the place practically empty. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender. I didn't get her name, but she was personable and affable. My brother was familiar with her since he visits semi-regularly. My brother loves both the burgers and pizza. He claimed the pizza rivals Fox's pizza in Beverly, so naturally I had to check it out. The pizza is good, but it's no Fox's!! We ordered double pepperoni, which was perfectly thin and crispy. It was a little too greasy for me, but other than that, I have no complaints. I also had an amaretto stone sour, which was delicious. My brother had a drink as well, but I can't recall which one. He always orders it, though, so clearly the bartender prepares it to his liking. The bar has a welcoming neighborhood vibe. The bartender knew some people by name or face, but everyone was welcomed with open arms. The bill for was about $45, which is pretty standard nowadays. The pizza was very reasonable ($18), which was awesome. There are slot machines in the corner for all the eager gamblers. Next time I'll try the burgers!

I like this bar a lot! This is a true neighborhood sports bar. The people there all knew one…read moreanother but were open to newcomers. As for the food and services, you will not go wrong. The pizza and chicken wings are a must. However, their menu had bunch of items that I really want to try. I cannot ride and not mention the bar service. My server Jess was amazing. She was attentive but not hovering and annoying. Had very good personality and I loved talking football with her.

Got some pretty good drinks and mediocre food at this club. It certainly is better at certain times…read morewhen you go. Tommy's Place is one of the popular hangouts in Blue Island. Better to go earlier if you want to save on admission. With the crappy cover prices it adds up and isn't worth it because it's often lame to be honest. Found out about it while looking for places around here to go. It's not a great area for certain so the options are limited. This was one of the few bars or restaurants we had not been to yet. Annoying things they have about it. They often charge a cover on the weekends. Go earlier and it can be avoided. It's about $6 to get a whole pitcher on Wednesdays. Choose a house liquor and add fruit juices. Pretty great value. We imagined the food would be worse. It's about $6 for chips and salsa, pretty basic. This turned out to be actually okay. Of course they have the kitchen closed most times so they usually won't even have anything. They also have the usual bar food like burgers and fries. Have to say it's not as bad as it could be. It's closed Mondays. They charge a cover later on the weekends.

They need more bartenders. The service is horrible. The bartender on 9/19/25 was a little off and…read moremaybe needed some help. Asked my order twice and still got it completely wrong after being sure to serve everyone around me first. Then gave someone else
