"Chicken Parmesan Panini $16.00 Panko encrusted chicken breast topped with mozzarella. Pressed to order, served with a side of marinara." I asked for ranch and no marinara but the sandwich was soggy with marinara on the not at all crispy chicken, so it was disappointing. The sour cream fries were good though so they were my lunch. My husband had a burger and chips which he really enjoyed. The atmosphere was a good vibe. I had a prompt response by the owner who was apologetic and willing to go the extra mile.

Everything was cooked to perfection. Fries were good! But lacked salt... Could be a little warmer, but they were good nonetheless. Paige was our server. Very very sweet. She greeted us with a smile and didn't leave us for too long before coming back again. Will definitely be back if I visit this area again.

Both Casey and Chris, our waiters for those nights were super attentive and very friendly and, after being in the hospitality industry for most of my life, that is a rare thing nowadays!

And yes, even though it gets a little loud in there, it is so worth it for their food and hospitality. Can't wait to come back again when it is a little nicer out and sit on the patio! Thank you for elevating bar food in Waukesha!!! And again a shout out to the staff!

Which I guess could be kind of odd to have on a bar menu, but if it's on the menu, you would think it would be good. The second it was put down. It looked like it came out of a prepared TV dinner. The meatloaf was thin, sliced, and tasted did just like a Salisbury steak. And kind of chewy. Not appealing on the plate either. He substituted a side salad instead of fries. The side salad was super tiny and not worth it. I ordered wings. When they were delivered all 12 were drummies. I didn't get one flat. The waitress then brought me out some flats mins later when I asked for them and showed her my plate. As for beverages, I ordered a tap of spotted cow and it was very flat and not cold. We won't be back anytime soon.

Our server was was very friendly and helpful when we were able to get her to our table. TomKen's gives typical Wisco neighborhood bar vibes, with lots of local memorabilia on the walls and several TVs with sports on. We may have to go back and try the fried chicken - tables all around us were ordering big baskets of fried chicken and all the sides.

TomKen's has classic sports bar vibes. They were busy when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It took a little while to get my order in. But the people were nice and there was a Brewers game on TV and I didn't mind hanging out for awhile. I got the famous friendly chicken dinner. This was a 4-piece half chicken dinner with coleslaw, fries and Italian bread. It was a lot of food especially for the price. The chicken was juicy and the batter was nicely salty. The fries were the crinkle variety--nothing special on their own but a nice potato-ey complement to the chicken. The cole slaw was solid--a little sweet and not too mayonnaise heavy. One should not eat fried chicken every day of course, but I would definitely come back for a treat.

The waitress delivered 2 pieces but she told me that they dropped one and put in a new piece instead of serving the one that fell one the floor, so that tells me that they are going above and beyond with safety protocols and I love that.
