It looked like a little crappy shack and smelled like one too. Walking in I looked at the menu and saw how many people were nomming away inside and thought, "Oh look! This must be a little gem in this town!" So then we eat, and I bit into this plastic rock. Now at this point I need to explain that the "plastic rock" is all part of the metaphor that I mean to say that the little gem = plastic rock and the town = movie set/fake etc. You get the point. It wasn't really all that great. I was expecting so much more. Especially from a place named after a violent cartoon couple that occupied so much of my childhood TV time. What the cons come down to is that the quality of the food is just average. So it's like...a TASTY plastic gem... Pro's: Homemade soup everyday Delivery/Take-Out Good location Daily/Monthly specials Filling. I had the garlic beef wrap, my friends both ordered ribs (half slab with coleslaw and garlic bread for under 10 bucks. Wow.) However, like I said, the quality lacks, but it's still good for a cheap meal. read more

The only reason I gave the restaurant two stars is because the food is actually somewhat decent. However, the service is terrible and everything is overpriced. The two times I went in, I ordered my food and was charged more for my food than the advertised prices on the menu. Upon pointing this out to the cashier, she became very surly, sighed, and said "well do you want me to put 75 cents back on your credit card, SIR?" And this has happened not once, but twice. I would not recommend this restaurant. If you're in the mood for that sort of food, you can afford to go down the street to Portillo's. read more

Well, I found this place by chance while I was looking for a place to have lunch by using my GPS. However, it turned out a nice experience. Gyro plate was satisfying in terms of the amount of food, and helpful staff comes as bonus. Price, also, is pretty good for a lunch meal. I recommend if you're around and looking for a place to sit and have tasty lunch for a reasonable price. read more

Worst cheese beef I've ever had. The beef inside was cold and dry. The bun was charred black. The plain hotdog was weirdly discolored-so I just threw it away and fed my toddler something else. I don't know how 2 beefs a hot dog and a gyro and fries was $40, especially since I threw half the food away. The only reason they get 3 stars is because they still have the best gyros. read more

We love Tom & Jerry's! Everything we've ever tried has been delicious. Good helpings and delivery to my place of employment! We order from here very often. My coworker loves the homemade soup. I enjoy the salads or just good ole chicken strips and homemade honey mustard. I don't think you can go wrong choosing to eat here! read more

Anytime back in DeKalb/Sycamore have to go to Tom & Jerry's! Garlic beef wrap is wonderful. My husband favorite is gyro sub. Very friendly staff members and always clean! read more

We are fairly new to the area and have been eating at Tom & Jerry's for a couple of years. Today we went through the Drive Through as we had no time to eat in as we usually do. The entire process was pleasant. The employees are always kind and seem to want their customers to have the best experience possible. We got home and sat down to enjoy our lunch. Everything was still warm and the Burgers were among the best. We will be T & J's customers for a long time. read more

So when I moved out here in 2004, we ate pretty regularly at Tom and Jerry's, but the longer I've lived here the less and less we eat here, and I think we are finally done and over this crap shack. They just cant seem to get a order right to save them. In the past 3 times I have ordered food here, 1 delivery and 2 walk-in/to-go, they have screwed something up or forgotten something. Its fun to order cheese burgers, and then open the containers in front of them to show them they ONCE AGAIN forgot the cheese. Ordered a Chili dog with Chili, Mustard and Onions... got a cheese dog. The hot dogs aren't even Vienna beef dogs. No thank you... no sir. I say, stay the heck away from this place... try Riccardi's Red Hots for dogs and beef etc. read more

Tom and Jerry's of Sycamore is a mixed bag. I work down the street, and have slowly gone through quite a few of the menu items. Hot dogs are okay, prefer Portillo's for a Chicago-style. Hamburgers: meh. Chicken sandwiches are satisfying, garlic beef wrap is good but only if you're in the mood. Fries are bland, plenty of deep-fried options that aren't that different from most other deep-fried options in most other restaurants. T&J Sycamore is really a Gyro place that sells a ton of other stuff. Gyros are the single best reason to visit. They are not some super-high quality authentic Greek recipe, just a very satisfying, affordable Gyro that is salty, spiced, comes with good garlicky tzatziki (cucumber/yogurt sauce), and really well filled. I prefer extra-crispy meat, it improves the texture and brings out the salt and spices in the meat a bit more. The daily soups are also really nice, especially when winter rolls around. But to summarize: an alright place with very good gyros. read more

Okay food is always good, reasonably priced, good service and wide variety menu. But this BAD review is on the method of gift certificate. Terribly disappointed in the outdated, low-tech paper system. They have fancy high-tech cash registers that should be able to handle commonly used gift cards. They still use paper certificates in increments of $5. I purchased $25 worth as a gift. Decided not to give this type of antiquated certificates and now I am very thankful that I didn't. So I tried to use 2-$5 certificates for an $8+ bill. Cashier brought to my attention that I will not get cash back, understandable but they do not manually keep track of remaining balance on a certificate (like other businesses who still use paper certificates do). None of this was mentioned to me at time of gift certificate purchase. So needless to say, I will not be giving any Tom & Jerry's Sycamore gift certificates as gifts. In my opinion, this is an easy way to make extra money from the unused portion of the certificates. read more

I hadn't Ben to Tom and Jerrys in a long time. I always loved there beef and cheese fries. This time the beef was not the same TOO much pepper! And the fries were cold. I guess you can't go back as things change and not always for the better. read more

I've hired Tom & Jerry's Catering by Diann to cater a few different events and each time the food is fantastic. The prices are reasonable and the food is a big hit. Catering by Diann is one my favorite go-to catering locations. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent price. read more

I don't know how this place has four stars...EVERY time we order delivery they forget something on our order. Literally every time. And sometimes the food delivered looks awful like they threw it around a bunch before coming to your door. Oh, and if you call to complain the cook on his personal phone will call you back to tell you how wrong you are because he's the one who made it. read more

I work in the area and enjoy going to lunch at the many local eateries. Unfortunately, I am just going to avoid this place! Today, I went through the drive thru and while waiting near the side and back of restaurant there is a pvc pipe running to the parking lot where I was waiting for my order. The pipe drains grease from the restaurant into the parking lot and the sight and odors was 1000% disgusting! I have no idea why I even waited for my salad but I did and that was 1000% disappointing! It was chunky pieces of iceberg lettuce, some bland cooked chicken, maybe 3 cherry tomatoes halves, a few slices of green pepper and onion and some cucumbers. You're better off going to Portillio's which is just south of this place. read more

I've had their food twice and it's terrible! I figured it might be better the second time around but definitely not. My friend just got food poisoning from there last week as well. Eat at your own risk read more

Great local burger joint! Everything is fresh and made to order. Their gyros are second to none, and huge!! Seriously, you have to eat some of the "insides" with a fork before you can even think about picking it up. Burgers are amazing, I love the mushroom and swiss. They have surprisingly great salads, so fresh, the grilled chicken salad is my favorite. I like their beef better than Portillo's, and besides, I'd rather give my money to a local place. Prices aren't bad, higher than McDonald's next door, but you get what you pay for. The place is always kept very clean, as well. Highly recommended when you're looking for a casual, friendly place to get a bite to eat. read more

Ran through the drive thru to get some food for the family on the way home for the first time. It was so gross. The grilled cheese sucked. The gyro was crispy and the sauce had no flavor, but most importantly the Chicago red hot hotdog was not red...it was a funky color and had a strange consistency. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because of the pizza puff. Never ever ever going back. read more

We have nothing but courteous services when calling in our delivery orders from the restaurant to the delivery people. The food is delivered quickly, hot and fresh and everything we try is delicious read more

My husband and I recently had Tom and Jerry's cater our wedding! They were outstanding. The service they provided was so friendly and they went out of their way to help everyone. they kept tables cleaned and the buffet stocked with plenty of food. We are still receiving compliments on how well the food tasted, and how nice the staff was. Thanks again for all you did Diane your the best! Mike and Sherrie Spires read more

Loved the prices and the gyro combo. Excellent greek salad alongside the gyro platter. Gyro tasted excellent, but the cucumber sourcream sauce was only okay. It didn't taste as if there were any cucumber. read more

One of my favorite local restaurants. Great dogs, beef, and gyros. Many go to the competitor a few blocks north but I don't like the crowds and college cafeteria feel: hurry up so we can have a seat. read more

Best ribs around . Soups are excellent and I recommend their Italian beefs! Dianne and Sarah and Tom make an excellent team. Highly recommend outdoor cooking in summer for ribs and pork chops. read more

Absolutely disgusting food. I had grease coated, tasteless fries and a soggy grilled cheese that barely had cheese on it. More like two pieces of soggy toast thrown together. The staff was also quite rude. We went in around 7 or 8 and they acted like it was an absolute unconvinced to have customers. So annoyed with customers? Don't worry, we won't be in again. read more

Great ribs- poor customer service. We had an order for delivery tonight. They told me me they would be here with our food within 35/40 minutes. Fast forward 1 hour later and still no food. Finally, I called wondering if our driver was lost or if something happened. They said it should be here any minute with no apology or offer to compensate for the situation. Another 10 minutes later our food arrives...cold. I understand if things get busy but you should let your customers know and add for the appropriate delivery times. And honestly to have the food be cold by the time we get it...not ok. We've ordered from this location before and our food wasn't cold. Very disappointed with our Tom and Jerry's experience tonight. read more

On Thursday nights in the summer, they have an outside barbecue and it is really good. Regular menu is also good. This is a nice, nonchain, fun local restaurant. Not too fancy. Mostly low key & fun! read more

There is nothing these people do that Portillo's doesn't do much better. The food is bland and the service is consistently poor. I don't know if I've ever dealt with such poor attitudes from employees who are in the service industry. Truly pathetic. read more

This place should close down! ! The burgers have no flavor!! Have they ever heard of a little seasoning salt! !??? The only thing was ok was the French fries mainly because they are the crinkle cut. read more

Tom & Jerry's will always have a special place in my heart as the eatery that introduced me to Chicagoland fast food. I had my first gyro here in the early 80's and thus began a lifelong infatuation with seasoned beef and lamb browned on a gyrating vertical spit. It set the mark by which all future gyros would be judged. Thank you T&J's! read more

A-OK because they are named after a cartoon and also because one night while walking home from a show at the house, they offered me some warm, comforting soup- for free! Thanks Tom & Jerry's! read more

My wife and I love the grilled chicken on a pita. The chicken is high quality. It is guilt free delicious. I also love the Italian beef and burgers. Very pleasant staff. read more

Tom & Jerry's, you are always there when we need you. The turkey sub is great, reuben is decent, and the baklava will get me through a craving for Detroit-area baklava. Take your hung-over kids here: nothing an order of cheese fries can't fix! read more

I love their gyros. They're the only place nearby that actually serves gyros and they give you a lot of meat, onions, and tomatoes. The cucumber sauce is so delicious. Their crinkle cut fries are awesome. Their Chicago Style hot dogs are also good. One of the things I did not like from this place was their macaroni and cheese bites. I had the impression that these would be so great. Made in the kitchen and to die for. They are almost $4 for 6 mac and cheese bites and they're advertising them like it's a special. My boyfriend and I always went though the drive through and the past 3 times we kept forgetting to order some mac and cheese bites, because they sounded so delicious and filling, we would come back for more. Well, last time we went, we finally ordered these mac and cheese bites. Came home and took them out of the bag to snack on them while we got our plates ready and we were so disappointed! These breaded mac and cheese bites are honestly the ones you can get from the Hy-Vee or Target freezer section down the street. They weren't homemade, you can totally tell. There's probably less than 5 macaroni noodles per piece, which is not a lot. 80% of these pieces are made of the breading. No flavor at all. We were so disappointed we wanted to go back and complain, but our food was getting cold already. Bottom line: Come for their gyros and fries, STAY AWAY FROM THOSE $4 MAC AND CHEESE BITES. read more

Great ribs! Thursday's. Much better then their neighbors version this will be a weekly Thursday splurge

We love salads and beefs from T&J. Good food and great costumer service. Our kids also love it which makes it a win win any chance we get to come here. read more

OMG! Great! I ordered Italian Beef and Chicken Tenders for family and friends Open House this past weekend! I picked up the food - Hot! That was the best idea! Everyone enjoyed the beef and really, really enjoyed the chicken tenders! For sure I would use them again for an event! Not to mention, best gyros in the world! Thanks! read more

Tom & Jerry's is a mandatory stop whenever we travel back to DeKalb County to visit family! I grew up in the area and have been eating at Tom & Jerry's for over 40 years (starting at the DeKalb location!) I usually get their Italian beef sandwich (a family favorite and never disappoints!) but when I checked in on Yelp! there was a special...a gyro for 99 cents with the purchase of a large drink and fries...well worth the money!! Love their crinkle cut fries! My husband got a Chicago dog which he thoroughly enjoyed. See you next time we are in the area :) p read more

Either a hit or miss. Today my chicken sandwich was soggy...the bread and breading on the chicken. With brown lettuce. My fries and cheese were cold with the fries being soggy as well. Very disappointing. read more

Never had a better gyro in my life. I had to wash the nasty taste of soggy lettuce and burnt fries from Lukulo's out of my mouth and fortunately found this place on the way. MUCH better Greek food and I didn't feel like my food was swimming in grease and bacteria. read more

I love this place. They have a little bit of everything and everything I have gotten has been delicious.

The gyros, Greek salad and cheese fries are the best. After reading reviews, I need to try the Italian beef too.
