    Two meat combo with BBQ slaw and fries

    Out for a lazy evening drive with the wife and we stumbled on Tommy's. Very happy that we did. I may have had better chicken in my life but I can't remember when. BBQ is very good with either sauce and all the sides we had were equally delicious. Chicken was just so good it ought to come with a warning label that it could be addictive. I read in other reviews that they used to have a buffet, if they put the chicken on a buffet I believe I could cause a chicken shortage in a few weeks.

    I'm a traveling family entertainer and annually tour the South. I always stop for bbq and seek out off-the-beaten path spots. Tommy's was a great find. Just a minute off the highway in BiscoNC, not too far and not too close. It's a simple spot but the hospitality was large: Often I feel stared at by locals, being a Yankee (cruder folk might call me a New York Elite -but that's another story). Upon entering I did feel a bit inspected by the dudes in trucker caps but soon Tommy himself came by and we chatted amiably, the server was super sweet and attentive too- and my experience kept getting better. I felt the friendliness very acutely. The food was served quick but it was quality. The puked pork was excellent; moist with crunchy ends. The sauce (NC Hot) was perfect. The Fries were top notch and the Red Coleslaw was tasty, zesty and refreshing. I'll put this on my favorite list and hope work takes me thru this way again. Thanks Tommy!

    Babyyyy, if you're looking for a hidden gem, THIS IS IT! This was my first time in the area, and I…read moreonly came to try this place out. When I say I have no regrets, I mean just that! Well I must admit there is one regret...the regret that I didn't try them sooner! I've legit been missing out on bites of happiness! You walk in to a gorgeous sparking restaurant. It seems one side focuses on to go orders then there's a large sitting area for dine in. The restaurant is spotless, and so are the bathrooms! The older gentlemen that assisted our table was a complete seeetheart! Extremely personable and present...we definitely got the southern hospitality. The food! The food is spectacular! I didn't have to add anything additional to my food, which is surprising.The food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. We tried a little of everything. The hushpuppies were the best hushpuppies of my life! They're crispy on the outside yet melt in your mouth... it's not your typical cornbread hushpuppies; this stuff has FLAVOR! The fried shrimp was spectacular...I even ate the tail. The roasted sweet potatoes made me close my eyes and just hum. The jerk snapper- never had anything like it in my life, but I know I want some more! Also tried the fried snapper, oysters and and whiting- they didn't disappoint! You're not in the south if you don't have fried green tomatoes, right? We received complimentary fried green tomatoes...best I've ever had! They had sort of sauce on them that just took it to the next level. I also had to try the cake after I heard the owner's mom makes them personally. If you had the food, you understand why I had to try the dessert. I mean the chef had to get his skills from somewhere, right? Honeyyyyyy just like everything else, the taste of the cake corresponded with the rest of my experience! 10/10! Did I mention, the bathroom was also CLEAN! If you're in the area, try this place. If you're not in the area, try this place! I took the drive and boy I'm glad I did!

I made the "mistake" of paying for my meal with cash. The meal was decent, some foods were warm, others were not- so-warm. None of the food on the bar was really fresh and hot, except for a few of the spring rolls and some of the fish and seafood. I had what I thought was a fair and attentive wait service. It was good enough that I was impressed to leave a tip before ending my meal, a rarity for me. But all that good impression changed when it came down to the experience of leaving a tip; this experience made me decide to never go back again. My advice to potential customers, should you decide to patronize this restaurant, is to pay and tip with a card and keep an eye on your bank statement.

When a fresh pan is brought from the kitchen, it is as good as ordering from a menu. Lots of vegetables: broccoli, carrots, zucchini, baby bok choy, white mushrooms and seafood (mussels, fried shrimp, squid rings, fish filets). Sushi is the weak spot - rice not seasoned, edges dry. Calm interior, dim lighting. Staff is efficient and polite.
