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!

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

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! They have spiced things up and are really trying to CLEAN IT UP & REFRESH the place. Very nice, very tasty! You MUST GO TRY THEM! Located next to Patio Pools.

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.

Italian sausage with grilled onions

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.

Spicy Italian Submarine Sandwich

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.

Buffalo chicken sandwich. $10.99

Waaaaaay overpriced for average tasting food. I got a $6.00 chicken sandwich for $10.99. Nothing noteworthy, no sides. Just $10.99 + tax for meh. Once bitten...

Italian Beef

Salil set the mood with enthusiastic great customer service! Great food followed, and we were definitely satisfied! Will be back!

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

Great food, friendly staff! A little slice of the east coast here in the desert without having to drive all the way downtown.

Great cheesesteaks, great ambience and friendly people. The service is good and the food comes out…read morepretty quick. Lots of TVs. No matter where you sit you will have a good view of the game. Fountain drinks are easy to access with free refills included. I don't drink alcohol but if you do they have a full bar. Music selection was good but is a little loud last visit but remember it's a bar lol. Great place to grab some food and watch the game with your family and friends.

This was my first disappointing meal in Tucson. My friend and I drove out of our way to eat here…read moreafter a hike in Painted Hills. I was so disappointed when the cashier told me they were out of chicken. OUT OF CHICKEN?! It wasn't even 2pm yet and the Pats hadn't yet destroyed the Broncos and the cheesesteak place was out of chicken. If I hadn't been with my friend who was looking forward to his beef cheesesteak, I would have walked out. There are plenty other good places to eat on Ina Rd. I eventually ordered a 12 inch beef cheesesteak with shrooms, onions and sweet peppers. The cashier asked if I wanted jalapeños as well. I replied that they don't belong on a cheesesteak, not a real South Philly cheesesteak. My few shrooms and sweet peppers were an additional $3. Ouch. Peppers come with a real cheesesteak; there should not be an additional charge. Service was fast and the kitchen crew was especially efficient. Everyone working kept the place clean. Ambiance is also nice. It's got a Philly sport bar vibe to it, with Philly banners on the wall and TVs high up in all directions. There are also eight craft beers on tap but I had a $3.49 Coke Zero instead. When my insanely overpriced $23 chickenless cheesesteak arrived, I was again disappointed in the lack of flavor. I tasted no spice in the beef. The bread was not fresh, either. I should have ordered Cheese Wiz instead of natural Provolone because the chemicals in that orange concoction would have added some flavor My friend liked his cheesesteak but added that the place in Sierra Vista makes a much tastier cheesesteak than Frankies, for half the price. At least I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. If it weren't for the incredible kitchen crew and the fast service, this place would have gotten only two stars.

I didn't know this place existed, but I guess they've been in business for many years. I'm glad it…read morecame up on my map when I was looking for restaurants in that area. You walk in and it definitely feels like a few-frills, local spot. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table when it's ready. The menu had several sandwich options as well as salads and some sides/appetizers. I chose the grilled chicken cheesesteak salad. It came with plenty of lettuce, veggies, pickled sweet peppers (hot peppers, if you want), and a grilled chicken breast with melted cheese on top. The ranch dressing was good. The little roll that came with it was delicious and the tiny chocolate chip cookie topped the meal off.

This was my first visit to Philly's Finest. I liked the casual atmosphere walking in and it felt…read morelike your local "sub spot." I liked that they had their menu taped on the window so you could look at it before even going in. The menu was also at the counter and written on the chalk board so there were lots of way to see it. There was also a decent number of options. I went with #3 combo which was the Italian Grinder, Small drink, and fries (or a choice of coleslaw or chips). It does also come with a small crunchy chocolate chip cookie. I was underwhelmed mostly as the fries and were just okay. The value of the meal is worth it, I just felt that the sub overall was just fine... nothing special. You order at the counter and they will call your name once ready, so the service is pretty minimal. I would go back and try something else.

I forgot to take a picture of my food here, but I got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was…read moreyummy! When I went on Wednesday evening around 6:30pm, the service was actually really good from everyone except the person labeled manager on her shirt. She was manning the cashier and was very dry and unhelpful. When my friend asked for a list of veggie options on the sandwich, she really just kind of stared at us with no answer stating "there's all kinds" or something vague like that. When we saw the cookies and desserts at the register we asked what it was (inquiring about the flavor), and she answered, "a cookie." That was kind of silly to me. After I paid and she kind of motioned that she was ready for the next customer, I asked about my receipt. She responded by asking if I wanted one and stating that the machine was out of paper or something. I would've appreciated her stating that rather than just not giving me my receipt and assuming that I didn't want one. I also felt like if I'm asking you for my receipt, asking me if I want one is somewhat redundant. I didn't realize she was a manager until my friend pointed out the tag on her shirt while we were waiting for food. My friend and I interacted with three other workers while we were there , one of them being Joe who I believe made our sandwiches. All 3 of of them had exceptional service! This is a small shop with maybe four tables, so takeout might be your best bet . The sandwich was cool, but management should do better.

Customer service from the Manager left much to be desired. She wasn't friendly or knowledgeable…read moreabout the menu. The workers were a different story and why I'm rating my review so high. There was a young man with blond hair and another worker (Joe) who were extremely polite and hospitable. They were quick to make adjustments and made me and my friend feel welcome. I got the Philly cheesesteak adding mayo, lettuce and tomato. It had great flavor. I'm not sure they have the capability to toast sandwiches which would prevent me from coming back. The bread is very soft and for a hearty sandwich like the cheesesteak it needs crispier bread.
