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.

Interior

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!

Great place to eat for that Chicago feel. Service was equally as great. Try the Greek chicken salad, it was amazing.

Not to bad of a place! Soggy buns on burger but otherwise pretty decent. Waffles and chicken are always good!

For only $7, the Italian beef sandwich was incredibly tender, juicy, savory, and packed with flavor. Even with how popular the place is, the line moved surprisingly fast and the whole experience felt easy and efficient. Our only regret was having to fight the urge to order a second sandwich! We had another meal planned and needed to save room, but we easily could have eaten another one. Such a great first taste of Chicago and definitely worth the stop.

It's a small, no-frills, old-school spot where you walk in, know what you want, pay cash, and watch your food come together almost instantly. I got the Italian beef and fries. The beef was easily my favorite. It had so much flavor, and getting the bun dipped was absolutely the right move. The fries were simple but hit the spot; crispy, fresh, and basically what you'd expect a fast-food fry would taste like. What stood out to me most was how genuinely original the whole place feels. The little building, the outdoor tables, the cash-only setup, the fast-moving line, and the way everyone seems to know exactly what they're doing all add to the experience. You order, they make it right in front of you. Pick it up and go. I can see why people make a point of coming here. It's not just about getting an Italian beef sandwich; it feels like getting a little piece of Chicago. The food is simple, but it has so much character. Nothing feels overdone or reinvented; it's just a classic done really well. Definitely a place I'd come back to next time I'm in Chicago.

Whether it is pasta, burgers, or even a sweet treat, Hangry's got it all. It is a hidden gem in Chicago, and that is something I cherish. Service has always been very kind. Just recently, the server gave us a sample of the Pumpkin Spice Horchata before we decided on ordering it. This is super generous of them (they gave a big sample haha) and we fully appreciated their gesture. Dining area is spacious enough and we came in around 6:45PM. There was still plenty of room to dine-in or for those who are waiting for their take-out orders. The Chicken Diabla is probably one of my favorite pastas from Hangry's. It is not your ordinary alfredo, but rather an alfredo with a spicy kick and mouthwatering flavor Each time I visit Hangry's, I never fail to order an horchata slushie. My all time favorite is the Ube Horchata Slushie. It has the right amount of sweetness with a flavor that you'll never find anywhere else. Can't wait to come back here again for another comfort food craving Seasonal Flavor: Pumpkin Spice Horchata Slushie (definitely give it a try if you haven't! it's not on the menu, but you can ask for it) Favorite Drink (you must get): Ube Horchata Slushie
