I’ve driven by a couple of Tommy’s many times, have never stopped by, because frankly, the exteriors look a little dated, and I was afraid that would be matched inside, both in the decor and kitchen. \u00a0And near one of the ones that is close to me, there is a shiny new Chicago type hot dog place, replete with neon, gleaming chrome and so on. Here’s my lesson. \u00a0I’ve been in that place, and it was shiny inside, as well, but the food was awful. I mean dreadful.<\/p>\n

So I thought I would swing into a Tommys last week, and I was the first customer of the day. Not in the mood for dogs or burgers, I decided to get their “Humungous” Italian Sub, with\u00a0vinaigrette, salami, mortadella, ham, provolone,\u00a0and all the trimmings. \u00a0Also opted for a side of fries (one size only).<\/p>\n

And you know what? It was great. They were great. Both the sandwich and the fries. The sandwich is far and away multiple times better and fresher than any of the chains, great bread, quality meats. \u00a0Hot, fresh fries, lightly salted, in size between shoe strings and steak fries, I don’t know what that size is called, but I liked them. A lot. And BTW, the inside was immaculate.<\/p>\n

They have a HUGE menu (below). I’ll be back to try a lot more of their offerings. \u00a0Locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
