Chicago Dog and Fries! Tommy D's is a small, friendly spot located right next to Skate Country. The service was friendly and the place was clean. The Chicago Dog was loaded with peppers, pickle, tomato, special mustard, and maybe other stuff - delicious! And, omg, big serving of crinkle cut fries. Next time the kids are at Skate Country, I may just have to come back to Tommy D's for another Chicago Dog and fries! read more

If you like cheesesteak or Italian beef, you have to check out Tommy D's. This Chicago style diner has so many tasty options it's hard to choose what to order. We got the loaded Italian beef & a cheesesteak to split. Kringle fries are always tasty too! I slightly preferred the Italian beef but my friend loved the cheesesteak. The cinnamon roll for dessert was a cherry on top. OBTW, the bread is so good because they get it from La Baguette Parisienne! Love locals supporting locals read more

Tommy D's - Beef Cheesesteak Sandwich, French Fries (Large), Italian Beef Sandwich (Loaded) - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

First review of 2025 and this was AMAZING. Significantly better than the last time. The house giardiniera is so so good, so much flavor. I like it more than anything I've tried in Chicago. I got the Reuben which was perfectly toasted and I'm sure would've been even better at the restaurant than takeout. The real star was the Italian stallion fries which are basically a meal in themselves. Imagine an Italian beef but on fries with cheddar sauce. Truly unreal. I will think about this dish for a while. My husband met the owner when he went to pick it up and they said they were from Maine but had a passion for Chicago food. Well my husband grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and I spent two years in Illinois and we both LOVED it. They also have RC! read more

Happy New Year, my fellow Tucsonans! To start off 2024, I decided to try something new (you should know me by now). My co- foodie and I had an early lunch here. I am so glad I found this place! We ordered drinks and sandwiches (plus wings!). The young man behind the counter served us so well I am well stacked with napkins and condiments. The place was real clean and quiet at 11am so I'd say ambiance was perfect for me! Check my snapshots- I'm pretty sure they will tempt you to try Tommy D's. My first rating for the year: 4.83 stars! read more

Saw this advertised on Yelp and figured, why not! My hubby is still on the search for the perfect, back East cheesesteak here in town. He says this one served here was "pretty good" I had the burger which was really very good! The service was good, all the employees looked happy to be there. The place was on the small side but it was clean and comfy. There was a pretty decent sized menu with a variety of things. I recommend everyone give this place a try! Its worth it read more

So listen up folks.... This place has NEW OWNERS! Previous owners ran this place down (Kenny D's) & made people really dislike this place. NEW OWNERS! NEW OWNERS!

Tried Tommy D's yesterday while making a weekend visit to Tucson from Phoenix. I regret nothing about my decision. I ordered the Italian Sub and fried mushrooms. The sub was stuffed with all the deliciousness and the mushrooms were spot on! Others on my party ordered the cheesesteak, fries, onion rings, and Chicago dog. The fries were lightly salted and cooked to perfection and the onion rings were perfectly battered and fried golden to provide the perfect taste. I was told the cheesesteaks were just as good. Oh, and I can't forget the pizza puff. Similar to a hot pocket but even better with a light flaky crust and generous pizza filling. Service was quick and all the staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is small but cozy. I'll definitely be back on a figure trip to Tucson. read more

Been a long time writing a review. I couldn't bring the passion to it. Too many life changes, hitting all at the same time. Death of my soulmate, cancer, moving, new career... Hello Tucson! Been here for a year. Let me apologize for lack of pics, am out of practice. Get to it.. Ambiance/Cleanliness-Small, unassuming location with crap mid-day parking for a service truck. Clean, no issues in that department. Ambiance would be average, but they have videos playing from the '80's, and that makes this Gen X'r very happy. 3 stars Service-It's counter service for ordering, and they bring to your table. Friendly and welcoming, food doesn't come out fast, but they gots some hustle...four times I have eaten there, consistent and genuinely warm..4 stars. Food- Is GOOD!!! The combo sausage and Italian beef sandwich is huge and tasty, comes with peppers and onions, spicy giardeneira if that is your thing (its mine), I got two meals out of it. Second time, the pastrami Reuben...good sized sandwich, nice grilled crispy exterior, but the pastrami was rubbery, not Vienna, like it should be. Third time the hot dog special, good value, they gave me extra crinkle cut fries. Fourth, this last Wednesday, the Spicy Italian..minus mortadella, 'cause I hate it. GREAT sandwich, best I have had in Tucson. Swimming with meat and fixings, blew me away! 4 stars. Nice place to eat in, but fantastic if you want to pickup and go! read more

After a day hiking Mount Lemmon, I was craving a cheesesteak. I'm not from the area so I had to do some research and came across this place! And I'm so glad I did -- I utilized the drive thru and after driving home (20 minutes) the food was still hot and remarkable . I ordered the cheesesteak just as it comes and a "small" fry. I'll explain the quotation marks later. The cheesesteak was better than I even knew to expect! The roll was tasty and perfect. The homemade beef was delicious and flavorful and perfect. The provolone was mixed in and melted. It also included sautéed green peppers, onions and mushrooms mixed in with the beef and cheese. It seemed like there was butter or mayo on the roll too -- it had this glorious buttery taste. The proportions and flavors were amazing and I'm hard to impress! And the FRIES. I ordered a small and yet got more fries than I would've expected with a large. What a lovely surprise! They were perfectly cooked and lightly salted. I wish I could say I ate it all, but the portions were so gloriously large that I wrapped up half the sandwich and half the fries and will have a whole other meal out of it tomorrow! *mind blown*. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the food even after my drive; I can't imagine how incredible it is in person. This does not have a fast food vibe at all, so don't consider it that just bc it has a drive through. It's got a small business feel and the service I received from the woman at the window was top-notch too. She answered my questions and made recommendations and didn't even try to upsell me when I asked if I needed a large fry. Waited about 15 minutes for the food after ordering but it was well worth it and I could tell everything was fresh! Next time I'm in town ... I'll be here. Hope to see this place rocking and rolling decades from now. Give it a try! Make the drive. Whatever you gotta do. Yum. read more

Literally Eating the sandwich right now it's so good. The Lady at the register was the owners mom filling in and she was super nice and answered every Question. Best sandwich in Tucson. read more

Unfortunately, the food has gone downhill recently. I picked up a pastrami sandwich and fries and they were subpar to say the least. Very little pastrami compared to before, fries soggy. I have been talking them up to friends who tell me they are not good. Well, I won't be talking them up any more. I guess this is a they told me so moment. read more

We have been customers for years, first Luke's then Kenny D's now Tommy D's. This was sadly our last time eating there. To say the food has gone way downhill is an understatement. Our last 3 times eating there the food order is always wrong and today it was yet again. The quality as well is not the same. Today was our 4th try at a sausage sandwich with grilled onions. No grilled onions just a container with about 10 pieces of raw onion. Italian beef was fatty and French fries were cold. Which is sad because you can always count on them to have great fries. Today you could not order burgers because they had no buns or anything with red sauce??? Maybe in a few months we will try again or maybe not. read more

We headed out to try their pastrami. We both agreed the pastrami was top shelf, next time maybe the Reuben. Nice, clean place with good service too. You should try it! read more

I have been looking for a good sandwich place on the east side of Tucson. I stopped at Tommy D'Souza. The restaurant is clean and bright and smells wonderful. The menu has a great selection of Chicago favorites, classic sandwiches, subs, burgers, and wings. I tried the spicy Italian sub and it is excellent. The meats were freshly sliced and the bread is good quality. I met Tommy and his wife and they are passionate about feeding people quality food. read more

Good food, nice people, it looks like it's been cleaned up since it was Kenny D's. I had to laugh at the woman that gave the bad review saying it "smells like marijuana in there", not sure if she realized it was right next door to a dispensary! Anyway, we'll be back! read more

Great food, my boyfriend had the 2 hot dog special (great deal!!) and I had the gyro. Both were very good. Service was great, ordered pretty quick and got our food quicker. A very nice spot for lunch, will return. read more

First let me say that we like to support the local establishments. It kills me to have to write this review. However, I struggle with businesses that "kill" a legacy with stupidity. We have been going to Luke's, Kenny D's, and Tommy D's for decades. We really wanted the latest iteration to be successful "for us" however I doubt we will going back anytime soon. I'm pretty confident this latest iteration will be the final nail in the coffin; sadly. We live in the neighborhood so our motivation is good local food at a fair price done quickly and accurately. They showed some promise with this last iteration being cleaner and classy however the "downtown back-east" vibe is mostly sacrificed for the polished look. The most probable deathblow is the dispensary next door. I kid you not, there was a horrendous smell of weed the last few times we have visited. The folks there are nice but it makes me wonder if they are indulging in the oregano in the back room or they are nose to the ventilation system too much. The accuracy of our orders has been consistently haywire. Sorry, but waiting too long for the correct order in not my idea of ideal either. Food quality has great promise but given the negatives like the weed smell, poor accuracy, value, sterile ambiance, lack of sketch-free parking... other places are a better value - for us. I'd like the owners to try again in a more family-friendly location and clear-headed staff. I apologize if this sounds "rough" but there are so many places that seem to get almost everything right that I cannot waste valuable ......well, I'll just go elsewhere for now. Good luck Tommy D's and happy trails. read more

BEST FOOD IN AZ. We were here last year and have been excited to come back since. Flew all the way from Minnesota. Nice guy at the counter. I went up to ask for a side of their amazing ranch. Nah. They wouldn't JUST give me one. These people gave me 2. Matter of fact, they doubled down and without us asking they gave us two more. Yes we love our ranch. It's the best here, especially with their prefect fries. Can't even spell "perfect" this place is so good. Perfect subs too. All around perfect. 100/10. Would fly back for this place again. And again. And again. Thank you Tommy D's. We hope you never close. read more

Now serving customer 6. Sandwich...good. $12 good maybe not. After watching the four customers after me get there food and or takeout and one finish his meal. The woman in the back looked at me with a look of wonderment like why was I sitting there. They then realized they lost my ticket and offered me fries to which I accepted. 60 seconds later a sandwich is in my hand which confirmed my thought that it couldn't take a half hour to make one but no fries in the bag. Maybe next time Tommy, if there is one. read more

Tommy D's - Italian Beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So for locals this is a staple in my opinion. Formerly Kennedy D's, they still have the classic Chicago dogs, Italian beef, pastrami, and the most classic black cherry juice. The interior was redone and is much more modern and welcoming. The lady at the front was very friendly. The pastrami sand which was Devine. Melted provolone great mustard on a crispy roll. Classic crinkle fries with house made ranch. Sandwhich 9.2/10 ranch 8.7/10 fries 8/10. Black cherry juice 20/10. Top three best pastrami sandwich in town. All in all 8.7/10. Very good read more

Tommy D's - Italian Beef Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Called in an order for take out. They said it would be 40 minutes. When we arrived to pick up, we stood at the counter for 10 minutes before being helped. The kitchen was so unorganized. They were so behind due to having to push other orders ahead because they we incorrect. The owner was back there not helping much. We could hear him cussing. Very unprofessional. Checked our order in the car and of course, we were missing multiple items. Needless to say, our food was cold when we finally got home. We actually ended up throwing all of it away. Such a waste of 50 dollars. An employee from the kitchen brought out our missing items and was the only person to apologize... the owner was the worst part of the whole experience. read more

Awful. Waited 15 minutes. Dogs were cold buns We're not steamed fries were sort of half done. The whole experience was awful.

Horrible customer service, mediocre food, made fun of a customer & we could here the kitchen staff cussing. Our family will Not return..

I would describe this place as a little hole in the wall in a strip mall but boy were we glad we stopped in. The food was delicious! My Fish & Chips and my husbands burger were really good! Defiantly going to go back in the near future. read more

One of the best cheesesteak sandwiches I've ever had! I will be back to try their other stuff.

Stopped by Tommy D's for lunch after riding the Tucson Bike Loop and it hit the spot. Hearty sandwiches, clean dining, and friendly staff. I had the rubin and italian stallion fries, they were delicious. Locally owned; I'll be a regular here now. read more

Tommy D's is the real deal. Got the 8" Beef, wet, with house-made giardiniera and sweet peppers. The bread was perfect, stood up to the dip without going soggy. The beef was nicely seasoned, and the giardiniera, obviously fresh-made, brought the right amount of spice. Soooo good! Added an order of crinkle fries, which were old school awesomeness. Tommy D's, you got my business from now on, we'll stop by next time we're in town. read more

While I'm more of a New York style dog guy, I do have to say the Chicago dog I had there was delicious! I don't eat peppers so I left those but everything else in my plate. Nice spot for lunch! Food was hot and cooked right. Staff was friendly. Will eat there again! read more

It's never a real hit here. I do go back because part of me feels one of the cooks will just hit it out the ballpark. I'm normally proven wrong. I wouldn't say this place is horrible, but it's no oak park. It satisfies the craving for something horrible to put into m your mouth. I do hope one day though one of the cooks adds a little umph and blows it out of the park for me. Try it if you like, it's a hit and miss. read more

With all the talk about Portillo's arrival in Tucson I found my self on the east side and had read about this place. I had not been there in years and several owners. I've been on a italian beef sandwich discovery since Portillo's opened. I trend away from chains.........recognize that Portillo's is good, this place is so much better. I had the Italian beef sandwich and was served by the new owner. The sandwich was much larger than Portillo's and absolutely perfect with cheese and peppers. I remember that this spot was sort of a dump when I last visited. The new owners have done a great job of modernizing the place and it was spotless. I will go back. read more

Food is excellent, and service is even better! Antonio and Lestat took wonderful care of us and explained any questions we had. They checked in with us during our meal. It's clear that this restaurant and staff take pride in their food and service. We will definitely be back. read more

Gone downhill since the name change, I guess. Ordered from a food app. Paid for a 1/2lb double cheese burger, got a single 1/4lb patty that was way over cooked with a burned bun. The fries were soggy, so we're the zucchini sticks. Sad, we used to love this place. read more

Being a deeply chauvinistic native Chicagoan (and Cubbies fan) I'm really really picky about my Chicago Dogs--Tommy D's has it just about right--but, they should use authentic Rosen's Poppy seed buns. Kudos to their locally sourced bakery buns, but they're just a little too big and fluffy, detracting from the "dogginess" of the Vienna frank inside. Now the Italian beef--that's another story! Not quite the Chicago variety which is distinguished by red and green peppers with onions swimming in brown au jus---this is a Chicago Italian Beef on Steroids--FANTASTIC, spicy giardiniara, provolone, cheese, garlic and a PERFECT crunchy Italian roll. This one hits it over the ivy covered wall at Wrigley. Also a nice surprise to see hard to find (at least hard to find in Tucson) Garrett's caramel corn for sale. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had the 8 inch combo Italian sub. The meat was tender and the Italian sausage was good. I ordered the sandwich with hot peppers. The only thing was that the hot pepper mix had entirely too much garlic big pieces of garlic cloves in the pepper mix. Really was too strong to even get proper taste of sandwich. I know I will taste the garlic for a very long time. I love garlic just not as much to take away taste of a very delicious sandwich. I would love to try the sandwich again with no hot peppers with garlic. read more
