But sometimes the tables are sticky or the floor is sticky. Lastnight my beef Philly cheesesteak was dry. It tasted like gryo meat unseasoned tough dry thinly chopped meat. The chicken Philly was flavorful. However, it didn't reheat good. Cheap thin shredded ice burg lettuce. The baklava wasnt as tasty,either. Usually it has pastashio on top along wit a sweet syrup..no crushed nuts on top n no sweet syrup. Still buttery but not as tasty. I will try the chopped beef Philly next time. But I fear sadly its time for me to loosen them. I spent $50 and it was mehhh at best. Still friendly customer service, tho.

I payed $12.49 plus 1.00$ for a drink to receive a mediocre burger with the quality of high school lunch.

I understand some places have specialties that they specialize in, but for him to totally dismiss answering any of my questions about the menu, I will definitely not recommend this place or return even if able.

Tommy's Burger provides some really good, traditional diner style burgers. The burgers are…read morehumongous and definitely worth the $10-12 price tag. Obviously, they taste good too. Amazing? I'd say they're really good based on the size it comes in. The Philly Cheesesteak was also really good too. My biggest complaint would definitely be the onion rings. Both the batter and onions seemed low quality. It seems like they use a fried catfish style batter for the onion rings which didn't work for us. Plus, the onions were very thick, which affects the outcome of a good onion ring for obvious reasons. Too bad. But big shout out to the servers here. They were all very sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend giving Tommy's a try, minus the onion rings.

There is parking in a small lot behind the restaurant. You can park and walk into the back door of the restaurant. Customer Service: Great customer service and gets 5/5 stars. Food: I got the sampler with baked beans and added a side of potato salad. The price was good but I was not impressed with the food Joe the sides. Please leave the seasoning that's put on top of the meat off. It is entirely too salty. The baked beans were salty as well and the potato salad surprisingly lacked seasoning and could've benefited from having a little salt. Minus the seasoning I was about to wipe off, the meat had a mild smoke flavor. Overall Impression: You get your money's worth. I spent about $30 for the sampler and 2 sides. Unfortunately the food was too salty and the meat lacked the smoke flavor I'm accustomed to in Georgia.

I had a BBQ pork sandwich, fries, and some pork nachos. The fries were fine. Obviously frozen but they were fine. The pulled pork was pretty bad. It tasted like pre packaged pulled pork like you'd buy at the local meat department. It either came on a delivery truck or it was held for way too long under a steamer. It was soft, mushy, and had zero texture. There was no bark to speak of. The flavor was bland. The nachos were horrible. It had the same mushy pulled pork and came with the plasticky nacho cheese that you get at gas stations. It's literally the same bright yellow "cheese" that you pump on your nachos at Exxon. This is an era when even bars are deep frying tortillas to make their own chips, they make their own cheese sauce, and have an assortment of toppings. This is a bag of Brim's chips, cheese that came out of a bag, old pulled pork, and some canned Jalapenos. Very disappointing and a disservice to paying customers who want a real BBQ experience. The food is not good here. I'm not sure if any actual cooking is done onsite, or if everything comes in precooked on a delivery truck. Avoid this one.
