    Nachos with chili
    Laura R.

    Went on a Wednesday night when they were doing half price bottles of wine. Got a bottle and ordered nachos. While the nachos were good they didn't knock my socks off. We also got the molten chocolate cake which was good. I'd be interested in trying something else there in future as I wasn't wowed. Service was good and manager came over to check on us. The lighting was very dark but seemed like a decent set up inside.

    Our first time at this place and we could tell it was popular with the line stretching out of the door. No reservations so it is first come first serve. There was a 25 minute wait when we arrived. They take your cell number and text when your table is ready. Our server was so amazing. With my food allergies she went above and beyond to make sure that I understood their procedures and that my food was safe. I really appreciate the extra effort she took to make me feel comfortable. The food was delicious and service was great. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday evening but that did not detract from the service. The booth seating was so spacious. We look forward to coming back.

    I'm absolutely a fan of the Tommy's chain of restaurants, especially thanks to the gluten-free and vegetarian menu options. From cauliflower crusts to Impossible patties, I never have an issue finding something to order while I'm there. The Wayne location is conveniently located in its own section near other major stores, there's always plenty of parking. It can be a little challenging to get a table depending on the time of day since they don't offer reservations. Every time I have visited this location, I've received amazing and friendly service. The cocktails are always great, and the food is even better. My orders have always been correct and prompt, and I appreciate the value of seamless dining experiences. This Tommy's gets two thumbs up from me.

    Caesar Salad with Buffalo Chicken Strips
    Camelis N.

    Tommy's is always a hit! Their portions are absolutely huge and overall pretty decently priced as well. The penne vodka has a little kick to it and is seasoned to perfection. The Caesar salad was super tasty as well! We also got a kids cheese pizza and it was pretty big for a kids meal. Overall, 10/10 experience. Will be returning to try their football specials!

    Kung Pao Chicken Dumplins - Pan-fried dumplings with scallions, crispy onions & chili oil, with ponzu sauce
    Ron M.

    Tommy's Tavern + Tap in Wayne, NJ on a lively September evening turned out to be a flavorful stop worth noting. Walking into the restaurant, the first impression was the buzz of energy--a mix of family diners, groups of friends, and couples catching up over drinks. The décor struck a balance between polished tavern charm and modern casual dining, with warm wood tones, industrial lighting, and just enough background music to set the vibe without being overwhelming. We kicked things off with the Kung Pao Chicken Dumplins. Pan-fried to a perfect golden crisp, they arrived sprinkled with scallions and topped with a delightful crunch of crispy onions. The drizzle of chili oil added a subtle kick that paired beautifully with the tangy, umami depth of the ponzu sauce. These dumplings didn't just serve as an appetizer--they set the tone for the rest of the meal, balancing comfort with a playful punch of flavor. For mains, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich was a standout in its own right. The creamy pesto was the hero of the dish, rich but not overwhelming, harmonizing with the roasted red pepper's sweetness and the cool, soft bite of fresh mozzarella. All of this was held together by ciabatta bread that had just enough chew to give it substance without overshadowing the filling. The side of fries was classic and crispy, a reliable partner to the sandwich. The Shrimp Wrap offered something a bit lighter but equally satisfying. The shrimp were tender and fresh, complemented by avocado's buttery texture, crisp lettuce, and tomato that added brightness. The chipotle mayo tied everything together with a smoky creaminess that elevated what could have been an ordinary wrap into something memorable. Again, the fries were a safe, crunchy constant on the plate. Service was attentive without being intrusive--the staff checked in at just the right intervals, making sure drinks were topped off and plates were cleared smoothly. The pacing of the meal allowed us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed. At the end of the evening, Tommy's Tavern + Tap delivered on its promise: approachable tavern fare with an elevated twist, in a fun and bustling atmosphere. It wasn't without the occasional background noise of a busy dining room, but that was part of the experience--it felt alive, warm, and welcoming. Solid food, creative twists on classics, and a lively environment make this spot a dependable choice for casual dining with a bit of flair.

    Blood orange Manhattan
    David S.

    I come to this place at least twice a year. The wings are pretty good, but the drinks, dumplings, pizza and steak salad are all excellent! Service is very good too and they always have some specials or special seasonal event going on. Case in point I just had a delicious braised short rib and chocolate Manhattan as part of their winter special menu. In a couple of weeks, they'll be releasing their special Saint Patty's Day menu (3/13-3/17/2026) I highly recommend Tommy's out here!

    As an avid guest at the Tommy's location in Clifton, I was psyched to see that they were opening a new location closer to home. The new restaurant is located in Wayne on the outside perimeter of the Willowbrook Mall. It's the old TGIF location which is easily accessible from 46 and 23. This new location is a big restaurant with a full bar, tables and booths throughout. They also have an outside patio but it was WAY too hot yesterday to sit out there. Same menu so you can expect consistency. Their menu is very extensive from burgers to salads, pizza and even sushi. Yes, sushi! I normally wouldn't trust a place with so many different items on the menu but their sushi is great. For dinner, we ordered the smashed potatoes side I imagined it would be like a Boxty, but it wasn't. It was like mini baked potatoes - I can't complain! We also got the Hot Honey Roni which is my favorite pizza on their menu. The Hot Honey Roni has mini pepperoni cups along with mozz and a sesame seeded crust. Who knew a sesame crust on pizza could be so good?! I'll definitely be back here since they're so close to home for me!

    Stopped by on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Located on the site of the former TGI Fridays. The service was quick and the food was fab. I got the flatbread with meatballs and my son got a burger. Both were really fresh and delish. We will def be back !

    Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad
    G K.

    Ate here after an appetite-stimulating hike up Pyramid Mountain. Music was way too loud, could barely communicate with the waiter or hold a conversation. Overall, the food was good and prices were typical. The sesame crusted ahi tuna salad was excellent. Brisket sandwiches were good. And the waiter was attentive and pleasant.

    I think this photo explains enough. One bite away from eating this. Although the manager complimented my meal this is really gross.

    Bulogi Tacos

    I've never been to a Tommy's and ended up there after the movies, the ambiance of the place is interesting there is no windows looking outside but it's decorated so good that you don't notice. It definitely is good for catching up with friends and impromptu drop by. The food was great and the drinks were all reasonably price which is hard to find. The staff was super nice and our waiter was such a delight.

    Super Philly Roll

    Everything was great. Relaxed atmosphere, good food (including the sushi which I won't say is the best but it was surprisingly good!). The burger was juicy and the tuna tartar was very good (bland though for anyone that wants different flavors.)

    No photos but overall loved my most recent experience here at Yard House, located at Willowbrook…read moreMall in Wayne, NJ. Came with some friends on a Sunday afternoon --- was quicky seated, despite the restaurant being quite busy. We were greeted by the nicest server, Marissa --- who was very charming and helpful in our "decision-making". I asked Marissa to ensure we ate the apps first before receiving our entrees, and I have to say, everything came out in a timely order and the food was hot upon arrival --- and yes, delicious! For the apps, we got the beautiful looking Onion Ring Tower, and the famous Poke Nachos. For the entrees? All three of us got the same --- the Hot Chicken and Waffles. If you've never gotten it, you're missing out. That dish hits the spot. 10/10. Totally prefer this casual-dining spot to any of their competitors.

    Came here on a Thursday evening around 6 PM... was seated automatically. Our server was friendly…read moreand patient. She gave suggestions when I asked. I ended up getting the twisted Alfredo, which was a new item apparently. It has mild spice to it. I thought it was good however nothing too extraordinary. it was a big portion so I was able to take some home. My day had a steak bowl and he enjoyed it. He ate it completely. Good ambience for a quick date I like the diversity in the food. Overall would've come back again.
