My concern was we would not be able to get seats for all of us. Not the case. There was plenty of room for us on the patio. We ordered at the bar. The server was very helpful, offering suggestions and beer samples. We all placed our order and had a seat. In a very short amount of time, our food arrived. I was surprised how quickly. I had a pulled pork sandwich. My Gluten Free wife had a burger (as did my son). I had housemade chips. They had fries. Every thing tasted great and the serving sizes were good. The setting is nice, comfortable and spacious. Well worth the stop.

Another little hidden gem in downtown Albany! We wondered into The Squeaky Cork a week ago after…read morethere was a power outage in our neighborhood and we were hungry! It was packed but there was room at the bar to sit. We were greeted immediately upon entering with friendly smiles. I asked the wonderful lady behind the bar what she recommended on their signature drink menu and she said their "Dewdropper" was one of their best from the recent Mixology event held downtown. I'm a gin lover so I was sold and the drink did not disappoint! So much flavor! My friend had the "Ginger Peach" and absolutely loved it. I ordered the "Salty Kilty Dog" to eat and it was soooo good! Some of the best comfort food I've had in a while. You just can't go wrong with potato chips loaded with some of the best tasting chili, smoked sausage and cheddar. The staff were just amazing and the service was excellent! We've been back a second time already because the drinks and food were just that great. If there's no seating when you first arrive, we promise, it's worth the wait. There's a reason they're packed out!

Great small town bar. Great food, great staff. The owner is fantastic, very friendly and cheerful gal. Tommy's recently hosted a fundraiser dinner to aid in raising funds for the entire Jefferson High School graduating class for 2016 GRAD NIGHT party. It is awesome when local businesses help out their community. (The owner is open to fundraisers if you are looking to do one!) They take care of the locals and welcome new-comers with open arms. I personally order food to go often, due to my busy schedule, I swing in to pick it up and it's ready and affordable. I am a frequent satisfied customer. Come check them out and you can be too! read more

Tommys is a great food and bevegage venue here in Jefferson. With big screen tvs, full lotto, well maintained pool tables, great smoking area with heat, a fun poker night, pool league, daily food and drink specials, and a host for many community benefits. Tommys really has it all. From peanuts to slow smoked prime rib dinners, budweiser to hard cider. All you can eat pasta night, taco night, the list goes on. Tommys provides as much for this small community as it possibly can. Very impressive. . Check out their Facebook! !! read more

Tommy's has new owners as of May 2013. They immediately improved the menu by making their own ranch, offering steak cut fries and other new menu items. They have a daily lunch special for $6. Everything food and beverage wise is fairly priced. I like their STD or super Tommy deluxe burger and rotating tap of micro brews. read more

Food is a little over priced for what it offers, that's not too uncommon these days. What's worse is the actual time it takes for them to get orders out. Not even busy, and I've been waiting over 40 mins for food. Bartenders don't engage you unless you're a local apparently and they're not friendly or efficient. read more

Juicy and not skimpy on the toppings. The fries were crispy and delicious. My husband got the nachos and let me tell you, it's enough for 2-3 people!!! The toppings were mixed through out the nachos and the salsa was homemade and not too spicy. We will be definitely coming back.

We orders the World Famous Cheese Burger (with the title I expected more) -1/2lb Angus beef, with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, hamburger relish, lettuce, tomato & onion. $14.95. This burger was about as basic as it gets. It would be good for older or younger crowds that like bland food. The burger patty looked pretty but tasted uneventful. We didn't get hamburger relish but we did get a ton onions. This burger could have used a special sauce or something. The only sauce they provided was mayo and not much of it. We opted for a salad and not fries. The salad was fresh and plentiful.

I'm not a huge fan of the "order at the bar" model. The staff was friendly but I prefer having someone check on us to get drink refills, order more food, etc. Not really planning a return visit.

They do not do bbq anymore due to lack of demand. Understandable. We were then given the choice of a burger or wings. Nothing else. Then some sides/appetizers options, which were hand written on an order slip. 2. We went at about 6pm our beers were super foamy. The bartender said that the co2 is weird with the first pours of the day. So a bit annoying. 3. We ordered mozzarella sticks and as an appetizer then the burgers. It took 35 mins for us to receive our burgers then the mozzarella sticks came out. The mozzarella sticks were cold inside. 4. The burgers were very basic bbq bacon ranch burgers. They cook personally came out and raved about how he came up with this recipe and was the best in the northwest. It was just bbq sauce mixed with some ranch. He also came out asking what we wanted on it and then proceeded to forget our tomato's.

"Welcome home" vibes, a clean space, and perfectly-priced BBQ make The Vault an instant classic…read more When I initially visited a year back for St Patrick's Day, it'd be very generous to call the experience "a mixed bag". Since then, and on a less busy day, The Vault has cleaned up beautifully. The barman was welcoming and quick on his feet. The sign out front read "BBQ is ready" and, sure enough, when I asked for the run-down, he talked me through the spread. In the end, a 1-meat 1-side plate won out. I requested the brisket (which was great, and generously portioned, though a bit dry to be the best in town) and the street corn (which was incredible, and definitely the best in town). It seems BBQ is becoming a competitive business in Salem! The Vault is keeping up with the best of them, but here's the real kicker: the plate came out to only $15. For meat of that caliber and quantity, not to mention the elotes, that's beyond a steal. If The Vault continues to offer this level of quality in service, food, and drink, any early-days missteps while finding their footing will be drowned out by the good times they roll out. I hope they can keep this momentum and continue to offer exceptional service complementary to great good and drink.
