Today I had a taste for a Gyro and Tommy's it was. What a great Gyro it was so big and filled with a great supply of meat and all the fixings I could only eat half ! The fries were warm and crispy and not soggy like others I have gotten at other carry outs. If your hungry and at a good and reasonable price this is my place ! read more

Every time I enter this restaurant, the employees are always nice and friendly with me, and more often than not the foods ready to go, before I get there. I like that it's a clean restaurant, and it's usually quiet in there. read more

Tommy's Red Hots - Wonderful scenic view of the nearby park river nature trail - Hot Dogs Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

So o have eaten here plenty. But thought time to review. I had the two hot dogs meal a gyro and tamale. So the tamale was perfect no complaints. The Gyro has plenty of meat they do not skimp I am not a fan of the dogs. The buns. Always seem a lil hard I think it's how they steam them. Maybe. But I do love the fries. They have perfect cooked and yummy fries. Service was good and it does not take too long to get the food. No pic I was hungry we alley not fast read more

You will never get your correct order through the drive through, it is a lost cause. Food is usually fine but numerous occasions the bad has to be ripped open in the car just to find parts of the order missing. I will never spend another dime in this establishments drive thru. read more

Long time Tommy's customer. Love the dog special and pizza. Comfort food. Prices have certainly increased over the years but I keep going back. read more

Ordered Tommy's for delivery and was so very disappointed. the cheese sticks and mac and cheese bites were cooked in old oil that made them inedible, the hamburger was so raw that i think i heard moo-ing. yuck! only positive was speedy delivery but since we didn't eat any of the food we ordered - the speed was of little value. read more

Always forgets part of our order and doesn't not care. Every single time we go through the drive through we have to go back and they literally could care less they forgot part of a $17 meal. Every time I order a beef for delivery they either forget the juice or the hot peppers and it's cold. 9/10 they forget an item on our delivery or mess up the order. read more

check your bags before you charge me 34 dollars and forget my chillie dog i am very disappointed because i am a vister from Florida and i come to eat chicago style food and you guys forget the most important thing chicago is known for read more

Food is definitely better than fast food chains.. Prices are very close to fast food chains. Highly recommend.

I went on Google to see a menu for Tommy's in McHenry, IL. I clicked on the menu button, selected food and called the restaurant to place a rather large order. The guy on the phone gave me a total of $64.18. After I hung up I realized that was an awful lot for what I ordered and called back. I told him online the menu said Sunday's special was a gyro platter for $4.50. I had ordered extra meat and sauce on mine and he told me it was $17 something. I told him again that the price online said $4.50. He said there was no way it was, so I ordered anyway. My friend picked up the food through the drive thru and while he was waiting he saw the guy cooking making food with no gloves on, he dropped something on the floor, picked it up and didn't wash his hands. My friend said something about the no glove situation. The fries, that are supposed to be kept frozen were sitting on the counter. He brought up the price of the food again and was told that the manager said that if I could prove that it said the price I said he would comp the food. I stopped in, asked for the manager, who was NOW wearing gloves. I explained who I was & showed him on the google link for Tommy's McHenry where it said what I had stated. He said that since I didn't go directly to the Tommy's website he wouldn't honor it. So apparently, I have to Google, and when their establishment comes up that says "Menu" I then have to go to another site for a different menu. I tried talking to him about the situation and he began getting agitated and yelling at me because he didn't like what my friend was saying. I calmly asked him why he was yelling at me, I wasn't yelling at him. He said he could yell at me if he wanted. He threatened to call the police if my friend didn't shut up, yelling it at me by the way, and walked away telling me to call corporate or whoever I wanted. I didn't catch his name but he is the manager there in the evening. Also a teenager walked in right before us and my friend mentioned that the workers didn't wear gloves when making the food and he asked his friend that worked there and she said they didn't need to. Hmmm. This level of unprofessionalism is extremely unacceptable. I never raised my voice and was treated horribly. By the way, I am the widow of a McHenry County Deputy Sheriff that was killed in the line of duty. Very disappointing! Also, the food was horrible! read more

I won't go into full detail but the cashier paid for my meal. He was an awesome dude, thank you so much sir. Food was also great, the two individuals I brought with me loved it. read more

The food was good, but we will not be returning until we see employees wearing masks. No one - even the cooks - wore a mask!

Meh. It was ok! I'd probably come back and try it again. I stopped on a long drive, this is not a local place for me. But I was really hungry while on a drive, and I happened upon this lil' place. So I stopped for a hot-dog. Went thru the drive-thru: Service was friendly enough, and fast enough. The Hot-dog was ok, nothing special. It was a dog. Wrapped in french fries. Which were also just ok. Nothing special, but maybe if I were in the area I'd give it a try again. It's perfectly acceptable junk food! read more

If you want a really good burger and hotdog DO NOT come here!! * Very unsanitary * bathrooms are nasty * the food was just gross * the burger was super dry * no ice in the pop machine Seems like the staff is here just to hangout. When you see the employees have Taco Bell here, that tells you how bad the food is. Don't let the picture of the food fool you, it may look good but it's not. read more

See all

Ribs, hot dogs, beef! This is our other goto joint when we're in town! Watch for the rare Saturday night rib special! read more

Tommy's Red Hots - 975 miles later... - Hot Dogs Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

Located in a former Wendy's location on Elm street, Tommy's is probably your best option for a quick dog and fries. They have the usual selection of fast food favs, including pizza. Many daily specials that also include ribs. read more

Tommy's Red Hots - the inside of the restaurant - Hot Dogs Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

Months after a less than stellar experience at the Tommy's in LITH I decided to give McHenry a chance. Now I'm convinced Tommy's is not the place it use to be. My order (01/12/22 # 2103) a 2 hot dog special with everything and a bacon cheeseburger no tomato. Simple.....right? I guess I can overlook not getting the sport peppers and the celery salt but 2 cold hot dogs both on stale buns. The ends were so dry, I tore then off! The bun on the burger was the same way, ate just the patty. Not sure whats up? Now that I think about it I should have kept the extra money they gave back to me after I paid. My bill was $16.60 gave them $20.60 and received $15.00 back. Maybe it was meant to be compensation for the poor quality of food I was going to receive? read more

Solid basic hot dog (can't go wrong with the 2 dog special) - AWESOME Pizza puff!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST FRIES in the entire U.S., in my opinion. The Italian Beef sandwich was super-deilicious and my companion loved the Pork Chop sandwich. Visiting home from California and always craving Italian Beef sandwiches, Tommy's hit the spot. Keep up the great work, Tommy's! read more

Our favorite thing is the fried shrimp dinner. Large lightly battered and perfectly cooked. This is a solid eat, always cooked perfect and the fries are awesome. read more

How can you make a cheap hot dog bad? they managed! Stale buns,relish only covers 1/4, peppers when requested none. To top it off the fries were greasy. read more

Not impressed at all. Very overpriced. Fries undercooked. Husband went and ordered some hot dog specials, beef combo and 2 pizza specials. Didn't look at order till he got home, we had double of almost everything. Fries were undercooked, cold in the middle. When I called to complain the guy figured we would be calling as my husband didn't seem happy. Guy said he thought he heard my husband order doubles or everything. Needless to say our bill was almost $50 and we have a ton of undercooked fries. Will not be returning. read more

Awful. The hot dog buns were dry, and there were stems on the peppers. I could've gotten way better mac n cheese bites at the grocery store, if you're selling cannoli for $2.50 each, they should probably be fresh and not soft and completely frozen. There's a market down the street that sells homemade fresh ones for much cheaper. So gross! I wish Tommy's never expanded. No branch is what the original used to be! read more

Stopped in for the first time Saturday. The sevice was awesome and the staff was friendly. Place was clean and food was fantastic. Will go here again for sure. When we need a fast good food place on the run. read more

Tommy's is your typical hot dog, beef, gyro place. Fries are good, probably one of my favorites in town at these type of establishments, the gyro sandwich and plate are always overflowing with meat. But that is called Tommy's Red Hots you would think they would have a decent dog. I have ordered hit dogs from here on several occasions and thought this tastes more like an Oscar Mayer random pork hot dog than like a Vienna beef or Chicago red Hot but maybe Im crazy. Ordered the fried mushrooms and they were inedible, and we made the mistake of ordering a large, it was a shame we ordered thru the drive thru because I definitely would have sent them back if I was dining in. read more

Don't underestimate this place. They serve our needs when we need take-out. Yes, they deliver now, and they accept credit, which was not a practice in their past. I, personally, recommend getting a chicken sandwich in a pita with grilled onions, and nothing else. It's spectacular. The Gyros is good, too. Check for their specials on a daily basis. In conclusion, they are a good for quick meal. read more

It's a hit or miss with this place employers are jokes terrible customer service! The food is not that great for there prices .

Worst customer service ever. Tommy's never again. 0/10. I haven't ate Tommy's in years due to their customer service. Tried one time tonight. My meal was cold. The guy told me it was frozen. Well get home it still was. $40 for a dinner I have to microwave and you tell me you wont do shit. Never again. So upset. I've been in management my whole life. Never have had such a bad experience with a business. I'll be posting on every site. Such bullcrap. Like to give out frozen meat. read more

Ordered the Gyro sandwich. I was doing low-carb so I ordered it without the pita. And I think they gave me extra meat for the no pita, because it seemed a generous amount. that was nice of them. The Gyro meat was very good, sliced right off the spit. read more

I went there today and ordered the pasta special, spaghetti and meatballs. I always order extra sauce because they're cheap with their sauce. I've never paid extra and they were nice about putting extra sauce on. Today they said you have to pay for extra sauce, this rude asshole said we have to pay for it too.When I got home they have me sauce in the smallest container, it was probably a couple teaspoonfuls and charged me a dollar. I've been coming here for years. NO More. This place sucks!!! read more

Got the order wrong, place was dirty. WORST tasting burger I have ever had. Chewy, reheated nasty burger. Pulled pork was also chewy, burnt and tasted of only liquid smoke. read more

Constantly forgetting items in order !!! This is not the first time either it is every time !!! I always cave and try to give them another chance, because I was a fan originally of their gyros, but never again !!! . Food was cold, gyros sauce literally was runny like water and pop was flat with ice completely melted. Spend over $44 tonight which was a total waste and not worth it !!! Super disappointing!!!!! To top it off I talked to Brandon the so called manager and asked him for a refund he was a total a**hole and told me the only way to get a refund was to bring the food back . I explained to him I could not come back today because I have Covid and was not able to leave since I was in quarantine . He would not work with me and was completely unprofessional and said I was only bitching because I wasn't getting my way . At this point I told him I would come anyways and bring the food back just so I can get my refund . When I got there they literally took the food back which now has been probably infested with Covid !!!! This place is awful!!! Unprofessional to say the least and definitely unsanitary since he even took the food back out of my hands knowing I have Covid !! If I can give 0 stars I definitely would !!! Never again will I come back !!! Brandon needs to learn some customer service skills and this place should be reported to the health department!!!!!! read more

A great local chain. It's what you'd expect from a neighborhood hot dog joint. My girlfriend is a fan of their burgers. I'm a big fan of their 2 dog special or gyros. read more

We have come to this restaurant for many many years and we do like their food. What upset me today was that not all the people preparing the food were not wearing masks. With Covid-19 I guess I was under the impression that they should be wearing masks when preparing food for the public. They were not all wearing masks last week when I picked up food so I decided one more try to see if that had changed. It has not so I won't be going back till this is addressed somehow or till it is safe to believe that someone there isn't contaminating food (even if unintentional) and I or my family become ill. read more

Tommy's red hots ( McHenry ) Great service with good food for a reasonable price. I would recommend this place to anyone, they also offer delivery and have great specials. read more

This place is absolutely God awful! I wouldn't feed this crap to my dog. The Italian beef is boiled, bland and just plain bad. They screwed up the hot dog! How hard is it to make a good hot dog? They should've paid me to eat this junk. read more

Worst service ever they always forget something or not what you ordered I ordered a gyros with sauce only and these clowns put mustard on it and offered me a credit they had refused to bring me a new one. Corporate could care less they did not return a phone call or email read more

The best thing Tommy's could do as a corporation would be to shutter this location for good. 7 people, individual orders. They got three of them right. Food quality and taste just awful. The place is filthy and the staff needs training. read more

Love the food. Pricing is decent I suppose. I remember being able to get the hot dog special for $3 but that was a long time ago. The only complaint I have is when delivered, more times than not they won't add the ketchup or ranch you asked for or even a straw for the drink. That's just careless. It's annoying but I can deal because I enjoy the food. Just keep that in mind when ordering delivery. Cheers read more

I used to eat at Tommy's Mchenry at least once per week. Having their drive thru available during this pandemic was great until the first time I pulled up to the window and saw the young man at the register not wearing his mask! I told the young man that it was rude & disrespectful to not wear the mask and it showed that Tommy's doesn't care about their customers. He apologized and pulled his mask out from under his chin and put it on properly. A week ago the same thing happened when I pulled up to the drive thru window to find another young man with his mask under his chin as I was handing him my Credit Card, so I stopped and told him that since this was the second time a Tommy's employee couldn't be bothered to wear their mask properly, I would never come back and they could cancel my order! I wrote them a message on their web site through their "contact us" section and they have not responded. It is now obvious that they do NOT care at all about their customers and they deserve the worst review I can give. If they can't be bothered to wear a simple mask, what else may they be doing to make people sick?! read more
