    Milk Shake (Oreo) - Small
    Nicole C.

    It's been a while since ive been here and their prices have increased! Service can be a hit or miss sometimes. It may be slow or fast. The food is basic American food with a few nuances. I tried their jalapeño poppers which are deadly for your body but a good treat or cheat meal. Their shakes are decently sized. I got a "small" which can comparable be mediums in most fast joint places! I got their Oreo which basically tastes like a better Oreo McFlurry. I typically don't choose American fast food, but if you are craving, this is an option. Just beware of increased prices.

    I don't know why I stopped here around midnight after the Shakira Concert. They have a huge menu & I had to get a gyro. What a big Efffinnn mistake that was. This has to be the worst gyro I ever ate. I think he took the meat from a gyro someone returned , burned it and gave it to me. I don't know why I didn't return it. There's a great place on the corner of Milwaukee and Foster Kings Gyros that has probably the best gyros in the city and I got this crap. NEVER AGAIN

    If you get to try this place, drop me a note and Tommy how you feel about it. I know you Tommy not to ask for personal communications, but that didn't sound genuine Tommy. Tommy's was a little disappointing because the two beautiful girls didn't seem to like me very much and the one with the tattoos seemed annoyed that I gave her a tip lol. Maybe she thought I was hitting on her. Maybe I was. Honestly, I would have loved to have hit on her but I actually give tips to pretty much everybody I am served by. And I'm a little shy around beautiful women so I'm sure she couldn't have thought I was hitting on her. Anyway. The hot dog was a little dry and wasn't wonderful. The crinkle cut french fries tasted like oven fries and were really bad. The hot dog wasn't awful but it certainly wasn't as good as I hope for when I come to Chicago. I don't like that they don't have napkins on the table they only give you a couple with your order. Overall it's somewhere between a 3 and a 4, and it's hard to decide which rating would be more appropriate considering the various elements, and the fact that I try to be supportive of family businesses.

    Chicken Breast Combo Special

    Decided to order a quick combo for dinner and got myself a grilled chicken BREAST sandwich with fries and a hotdog combo with fries as well, I asked for two cokes the lady ignored me and gave me one coke and one ICE TEA. Brushed it off cause I didn't mind the flavor drink. But then I get home to eat my sandwich and there were bones in my chicken breast! I spit out the rest but was able to catch a picture of the rest. And to top it off we got the butt end of dry French fries very very disappointed.

    Experience: This review was during the covid pandemic, and as a result, my experience was only based on the food and limited time with the staff. Overall, they were friendly and professional. Parking: There is a free parking lot that is attached to Tommy's. It is very convenient and it appears to have plenty of spots open. With that said, it is one less thing you have to worry about when you decide to visit here. Worth: Due to the covid pandemic, it tends to be difficult to find anything open. Thank goodness that Tommy's was one of the places that kept in business during this time of crisis. They had ready to pick up orders and I was able to call in ahead of time. Their menu had various of items, that it may be difficult to choose. At the end, I had the Jefe Burger (As pictured below), and it surely did not disappoint. Overall, worth the visit! Go support small businesses!

    When CPD vehicles were passing back and forth without stopping by Tommy's, I should have gained a clue that this place wasn't "lo mejor de lo mejor" in the neighborhood. They recently went under a new management. The remodeling works done on their interiors and exteriors made the entire restaurant more inviting and enhanced the visual appearance. I had a high expectation based on the pictures I've seen on some of their specialties: Mother-in-Law, El Jefe, Chilanga, and Chilango, but I felt the executions on our orders today had a plenty of room to improve. The "El Jefe" burger failed to "own" it like a boss. The ingredients definitely had the leadership qualities (pepper jacks cheese, chipotle mayo, and avocado slices). However, "los empleados para el jefe" needed some serious developments. The lettuce was soggy, which caused dilutions on other components. In the others, the entire team had a dire urge for a big corporate visit so that everyone can tighten up and increase his/her productivity. Hubby's "Mother-in-law," or I guess she is equivalent to my own lovely Mama J. had a similar dilemma as what "El Jefe" experienced. Hubby commented that he had no regrets on trying this out for the first time, but he would probably opt for something else in the future. Nevertheless, the price-points on their combos are quite reasonable. For $13 and some change, we had two (2) combos that came with fries and unlimited pop for dine-in patrons. I might give TOG another chance since it's relatively close to me. I really hope I would be able to change my mind.

    Hello Foodzies, indoor dining is once again put on hold. That doesn't mean we can't critique pick up food. So here we go. I've been in search of the best burgers. Well guess what, I have found a place that has one of the best burgers I have eaten in a long time. Tommy's on Grand at 6001 w Grand Ave. has the best char grilled burgers. I had the Big Baby burger with cheese, ketchup, mustard, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato. It was huge. The flavor was off the charts, the char was perfect. Glenda had the Avocado Club burger it was delicious, fresh avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomato with ranch dressing. Once again a great char and an awesome marriage of flavors. The fries were bagged crinkled fries (fresh cut would be the bomb) crispy and nicely salted. We also tried the cheese fries again crispy and flavorful could use more cheese. Kind of sad when I have to scrape cheese from fry to fry. We will definitely be back, looking forward to trying a few other items. For burgers, I highly recommend Tommy's on Grand. I give them 4 stars. Try it out and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now.

    Tommy's on Grand screw a simple order. I place a pick order via phone. Three combos 1 plain Gyro w/mozzarella cheese, pizza puff meal and a polish only ketchup meal. Mind you is snowing and is cold in Chicago. Instead of having a nice sit down meal at home with my kids. I have to throw away my son's polish because they put every single thing they found on the kitchen. I have to give him my gyro because his diabetic type 1 and he have to eat something. Mama can wait! Called back to complaint instead of trying to work something with me. Nina (cashier and who took my order) decided to blame the cooks but forgot customer satisfaction. Way to go Nina.... thanks for messing up our family night!

    Gyros Combo Special
    Cristian T.

    The Gyro plate was "okay" you can say, I have been to other gyro spots and they give you a little bit more of Meat, other than that it was ok. This place is good but I recommend trying other thing in the menu.

    Jefe Burger, all time favorite!

Very flavorful with a good chew and the perfect heat with their giardiniera. It's one of those sandwiches that once you pick it up, you can't put it down.

Putting a whole salad on a hot dog takes what could have been a guilty fast food meal and makes it feel fresh and dare I say, healthy? The peppers were such a great kick and the I also appreciated that the relish was NOT sweet! Both a pickle spear and dill relish on the same dog? Yes ma'am! My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad. Get a lemon ice if it's warm out, it was smooth and tart and a great finish to a great meal to round out my Chicago trip!

    Takeaway: Great bread, disappointing flavor, and an impersonal ordering experience…read more The Original Steak & Hoagies had been on my radar thanks to several positive reviews and the promise of authentic Philadelphia bread delivered fresh. Naturally, I had to give it a try. The location is easy to miss -- tucked into a small strip mall by the train tracks -- and the interior was empty except for one employee and a customer picking up an order. When I walked in, the employee didn't acknowledge me. After standing there for a moment, I noticed a self‑order screen near the counter, identical to their online ordering interface. Once I placed my order, the employee immediately began preparing my food. The only interaction I received was when he called my name to pick it up. I ordered the small Original Cheesesteak meal. The bread was the highlight: soft, fresh, and exactly what you'd expect from real Philly bread. Unfortunately, the rest of the sandwich didn't live up to the hype. The meat had very little flavor, and the vegetables and minimal cheese overwhelmed what little taste there was. The "small" size is roughly an 8-inch sub. I also tried the Wisconsin cheese curds. They were made with white cheddar and tasted almost identical to what you'd get at Culver's -- nothing special. The combo totaled $22.66, which felt steep for a meal that left a lot to be desired. If you're going strictly for the bread, it's worth a stop. Otherwise, the experience and flavor fall short of expectations.

We were already in the area to check out Frank Lloyd Wright's studio and then came here for lunch afterwards. We were lucky that it was a Monday at lunch time and not a more traditional peak time to be there because we got a parking space fairly quickly and even though we saw the line out the door, it moved very fast. It's very much a cash-only and no-frills type of place. Don't come here expecting them to be super friendly to you. You go up there knowing what you want to order and they are quick and on it.

Everything was excellent. Definitely the best Italian beef I've ever had and one of my friends said it was one of the best foods he had on his week trip here. Will definitely need to return!
