    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!

    A LOCAL CLASSIC! I…read moreloved this spot so much I ended up coming back twice. It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

    The smell of caramelized onions hits pretty much immediately as you approach the window. No line…read moremidday. We were served quickly and got the polish sausage that comes with fries. Both were nice and hot. Fries were crispy and that first snap into the juicy sausage was worth the trip. No seating, so be prepared to eat in your car and get a bit messy. Also be warned the peppers are legitimately spicy, those serranos had my partner sweating. Glad I tried it, but not something I'd eat all the time, great late night drinking kind of food.

    Flew into Chicago late, wanted a taste of Chicago but didn't want to head back into the city so…read moredecided to try Superdawg (on our list for a while). It was almost 11pm (they're open until 2am on Fridays.) and there were at least a dozen other vehicles in their drive-in stalls. Ordered their specialties, a Superdawg and Whoopskidawg with Superfries, Chocolate Super Malt and Black Kows. Service was fast and friendly at 11pm on a Friday. We were eating in our rental car in apx 10 min. It was cool to eat outside on a warm July night in a classic, 1950s style drive-in. The food was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I normally avoid krinkle cut fries because they are usually frozen and mushy or mealy. Not Superfries. These fresh cut fries were practically fried mashed potatoes. We loved them! The drinks were perfect. The Black Kows is basically a root beer float and served with an extra root beer "sidecar." Our only complaints were about errors with the garnishes. We specifically said we wanted all the garnishes on both dawgs and they only gave us the standard grilled onions on the Whoopskidawg and forgot the sport peppers on the Superdawg. Otherwise we loved everything. We might go back next week (before we fly home) because I really want to try their Whoopercheesie Burger and maybe a Supersundae. (Menu Descriptions/Prices) Superdawg Not a wiener - not a frankfurter - not a red hot - but our exclusive... Superdawg™. On a poppy seed bun, we tenderly place the loveliest, juiciest creation of pure beef hot dog (no pork, no veal, no cereal, no filler), formally dressed with all the trimmings, escorted by our often imitated, but never equaled, Superfries™. Served with all the trimmings - golden mustard, tangy piccalilli, kosher dill pickle, chopped Spanish onions and a memorable hot pepper. $9.30 Whoopskidawg Our char-broiled version of a Romanian, Hungarian, Polish sausage; basted in our special sauce, and served on a Whoopskiroll™, with grilled onion and a pickle. $12.05 Superfries For extra pleasure an extra measure of Superfries™. $4.35 or $6.95 - Try 'em with cheese! Supermalts and Supershakes A full pint of smooth creamy refreshment so thick we put straws in them only to prove that you can't draw them through. (We will gladly thin them down, if you prefer them that way.) Flavors: double rich chocolate, mellow vanilla, real-fruit strawberry or pineapple. $5.80 - Regular $7.10 - Large Black Kows A beverage--a dessert--a snack. Chunks of ice cream floating in a foamy sea of root beer. You can drink it. You can eat it. You can do both at once. $6.20

    You really can't go wrong with a classic Polish topped with grilled onions and mustard. Simple,…read moreflavorful, and exactly what I was craving! This place has a fun, nostalgic vibe that reminds me of neighborhood hot dog stands from the '80s. The vintage photos and décor give it plenty of character, making it feel like an old-school Chicago spot. The fountain drink selection is impressive, with plenty of choices to satisfy just about anyone. The prices are fair, the portions are satisfying, and the restaurant is clean and inviting. My only drawback is the ordering system. While ordering from a touchscreen is quick and efficient, I think it takes away some of the personal interaction between customers and staff. It's not a dealbreaker, but I do miss being greeted by someone behind the counter and placing my order the old-fashioned way. Overall, it's a great place to grab a bite. If you're looking for a tasty Chicago-style Polish in a casual setting, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.
