I've been to Tommy's Tavern plenty of times, usually for drinks, games, and a good time-but this visit was an unexpected birthday-night surprise. Long story short, I slept through dinner plans and we ended up at Tommy's later that night (don't ask). And somehow, one of the best chicken cutlet parms I've ever had landed in front of me. The cutlet had that PERFECT balance! Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Seriously, I've eaten a lot of chicken parm in my life, and this one earned its flowers. I had steak, my husband had a burger, and everything was delicious. I'm also a fan of their cowboy pizza, pretzel, and the pulled pork mac & cheese...which is ridiculously good but definitely a HEAVY dish, especially with the Texas toast. Their sushi? Some people love it. Personally, not my thing. Tommy's is loud, lively, sports are on everywhere, and their themed nights make it even more fun. You can come for dinner or just grab a reasonably priced beer and watch the game. For a sports bar, Tommy's gets a solid 5/5 from me and I'm still thinking about that chicken parm read more

First time at a Tommy's Tavern and it was recommended! We were on our way to the outlets and made a stop! We went at a perfect time because there was no wait. The place is huge! Many TV screens, outdoor patio, huge bar! Family friendly. Everyday they have fun stuff going on! The menu has so much to choose from, food for everyone! The sushi was very fresh! The wings were huge! Many GF choices! Not marked but they will tell you! They were very good about it too! Prices were good! My burger was a 10oz! I was stuffed but it tasted so good! I know they have a few locations but I'd love to go back to Tommy's if I come across it again! I enjoyed it! read more

My husband and I come here all the time. The food is always delicious and I don't think we've ever had a bad meal. We make it a point to try new things every time we come and I can safely say I can count on them for a great meal. Staff are always kind and attentive. Your drink will always be refilled without needing to ask. The ambiance is a bit loud but that's what you'd expect from a sports bar. I like the vibes read more

I was visiting family in a nearby hospital and grabbed lunch here. The place is very clean and very friendly service. They have a huge parking lot and giant indoor bar and seating are with nice big comfy booths. The tap selection is extensive. Lots to choose from and I'm told it's always rotating. I got the turkey burger with a side salad. If I'm back in the area I'll stop in for sure. read more

This place is BUZZING!!!! Expect a wait!! We waited about thirty minutes and were sat at Olivia's table. Excellent service!! The tavern is large but packed so it was loud. Runners bring the food quickly from the kitchen. Olivia kept our beverages filled & answered any questions we had about the menu. There's so many options on the menu, it's very hard to choose. EVERYTHING tasted great!! The Calamari was crispy perfection and the meatballs were splendidly delicious! I'm not sold on kimchi yet, but theirs tasted really good! It was a great compliment to the ribs! The fried thighs on the biscuit with gravy was VERY good! My crispy smashed potatoes were excellent!!!!!! I didn't taste the pizza or the brisket sandwich that was ordered at our table of five. I can't wait to visit again and try something else. read more

Back again for a nice late lunch, convenient and on our way home. Another great lunch with a Cali Burger along with a Hickory-BBQ Burger, both with fries. We chose a glass of Liberty School Cab and Lawson's Sip of Sun. THe place was busy as it was President's Day and we were seated in the tent area. Definitely not my favorite place. It was quite noisy (there was a birthday party happening), drafty/cold and the propane truck leaked some gas during a delivery. Overall, not a bad experience, but the tent is not for us! read more

I didn't have high expectations dining at a tavern, thought it would be much of the same but I was thoroughly impressed! the place is massive, great spot for gathering and watching sports. looks like there is an outside patio that opens for warmer weather. we had greta attentive service and the menu is extensive! lots of options. we split the chicken dumplings. I had lobster bisque and my friend had bulgogi tacos. all the food was great and we want to come back to try so many other things. would recommend! read more

Tommy's Tavern and Tap seem to be popping up everywhere in New Jersey , ie over a dozen here and one I know of in Newark DE. I heard that the owner recently passed. There were five of us and we had a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Rob, our server was very proficient. Food was good+. I can't say excellent, though mine was....but there were four other people to consider. Drinks were excellent. Average price $45 pp. Plenty of parking, clean restrooms, and the place look pretty neat. read more

Ordering online for delivery is dubious, regrettably. However, every single food item I've ever tried is literally legendary. Went to the Edison location first but it was good enough to want to try this location. Worst case scenario is VC's pumping endless money into feckless regional chains but I'm gonna go on a limb and assume this place grew organically cuz it's too damn good. read more

I really enjoy the atmosphere at Tommy's. I think this restaurant chain is very consistent per location which is important to me with food! The servers are very friendly. As I go here often, I have had repeat service staff and they are very attentive. Plus, their outdoor seating area is open year round which I enjoy! Picture attached is of the chili nachos with sour cream on the side. Very delicious. I only took a star off as I am a bit picky and wish they had more food options. But it is more of a bar setting so can't complain! read more

We have eaten at this restaurant several times & each time it would be ok. This last time we went did us in to know we never want to go back again. I ordered sushi, took a bite to find a long piece of hair in it. Told the server, they were apologetic & said they would bring out a new one. They ended up bringing out the same exact one. I knew because the piece I bit into was in the same exact spot on the plate. Couldn't understand what made that server think that it was a new one when it looked exactly how I left it, 1/2 bitten & place on the side of the plate. This showed how little attention was paid or how little care was given. Manager came by & did the whole apology speech. But we just couldn't get over how the server actually came back out with the same exact plate. read more

Sit outside if you can. The vibe is so different than indoors. The bones hanging from the ceiling transform you from the bar lounge that's inside. The firecracker shrimp and tavern sushi were delicious. The chicken nachos were a big fail. I think they took too long to bring them out. They were dry as well as the cheese. I won't order those again. But going back just not for nachos! The spicy pineapple margarita was ok. My guest had expresso margarita n enjoyed it. Good vibes. I've gone on a Friday night and Saturday and the sushi had on Friday for the tavern roll was bomb! That made me come back. Glad I tried them then! They were a hit. They were much smaller on Saturday. read more

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe of Tommy's. Enough we went twice. It felt like a fun place to hang out. The drinks were good. The food was average. Service as to be expected. My husband and I both ordered a steak one night and it was not worth the price we paid. It also came with a house steak sauce of that's any indication. We did enjoy the lobster sushi roll that was on special and the super Philly roll. The kids food comes in large portions. The pizza was huge! read more

wings were pretty good..pretzel was good....my meal (should have been simple) - chicken salad was darn expensive for not much. Ive had better meals at other Tommys - so maybe this was an off day. Server was fine - except it took FOREVER for our meals to come out. We were a party of 11...but for a simple "throw some chicken salad on 2 pieces of bread" - never should have taken as long as it did - I'll think twice about returning read more

Ever since I've dined at Tommy's in Edgewater, I've been a fan. It's now my favorite casual sports bar. So I was more than excited to try out the location in Freehold. We came as a walk-in around 6pm and were seated immediately. The bar and restaurant areas are spacious with plenty of seating for small and large parties. And there are a million tvs with all of the sports channels your heart could ask for. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet, checking in on us and making sure we were having a good time. I ordered... *Wings (10 pieces) $16 - These were FINGER LICKIN' GOOD. GYAAAT DAMN. I had to stop halfway to make sure I would have room for my entree. The wings were meaty and tender with the right amount of seasoning. The skin was crispy and crunchy. We didn't even need any sauce because there was so much flavor. *Tavern Dip Sandwich with sweet potato fries $22 - You must try this is if you love prime rib! The sandwich included sliced prime rib, coal fire roasted onions, mozzarella, and horseradish cream on garlic ciabatta bread with a side of French onion soup dip. A simple sandwich, but so filling and delicious. *Margarita $12 - A classic cocktail. The drink was strong enough and perfectly balanced. No complaints! Tommy's - Freehold... thumbs up to y'all! read more

Very loud. Way too loud to hear my wife on the other side of the table. The food was nothing special. Service was just okay. We won't return. read more

Excellent menu, food, and service. Consistently good! Definitely recommend going to Tommys!

Had the Grouper sandwich from the Summer menu and I liked it. My wife had the chicken taquitos for an appy, which she enjoyed. She also had the French onion soup. It's the second time in a row she had to send it back because they were really cheap with the cheese. When it came back, it a little more cheese, but not much. read more

We were 4 people and sat within 5 minutes of waiting. Everyone we encountered friendly and amazing. San Danielle pizza was AMAZING!! We also had a chicken sandwich but we made it into a wrap and it was amazing. Sweet potato fries was delicious. The drinks came out so fast and service was excellent read more

Always love going to Tommy's. I frequent there often. It's quick, easy and delicious. The menu is huge. I love that they have the TVs for sports games so my boyfriend can watch while we eat. They are so accommodating to my dietary restrictions. To the point where they even put little toothpicks that say allergy in the food! Really awesome that you can see them cooking all your food so you know exactly where it's coming from. Great vibes, great atmosphere and great food! Only thing that can suck sometimes is waiting for a table. read more

The menu has something for everyone. Great food, great service & great atmosphere. Great drink menu.

Authentic ambiance for a bar/tap, service was quick, friendly and attentive. Food was good and plentiful. Only down side was the level of noise, which is expected. Place is always packed as well as the parking lot. Come early if you want a chance to try this place read more

Back again.... This place only gets better. The seasonal menu has some amazing eats for all the foodies. Remember this is a sports bar and during football season the line is out the door. But the service is great and the ambience is inviting. This time around we got the short rib sandwich with the sweet potato fries. You get a marshmallow and brown sugar dip with this combo. A great surprise that made the meal very inviting. The Yvette's Pizza was a veggie delight. The eggplant tasted awesome. And I hate eggplant - so it must be good!! read more

Dana best bartender ever, Dakota as well they make everything great when we go for dinner or drinks.

Decided to pop in at Tommy's Tavern was going to get some wings and clams but they have a brunch menu for the weekend so why not indulge and try something. I went with the breakfast burger and it was delicious with the tavern potatoes. The Electric Coconut Margarita was delicious as well. Like always I left Tommy's Tavern satisfied. read more

Overrated, I was given a large plate with a couple of fries that were cold, French Onion soup was warm and had no soup in it, a lot of onions and bread. They were out of the beer I selected. Wife got tomato soup which was basically vodka sauce in a bowl. Nice inside but very dissatisfied with the food. Service was average at best read more

I had lunch at the Tommys in Freehold. My friend and I enjoyed our time there. The staff was kind and welcoming. The manger stopped by our table to check in on our servers. I love that they do that! I got a pepperoni personal pie and my friend ordered a shrimp flat bread. Both were yummy, not too crisp or soft! The place overall, looked cleaned including their bathrooms! read more

The food at Tommy's is always fresh and very tasty. The beer battered shrimp taco were 3 tacos per serving. There were 3 large shrimps per taco with all the toppings. You can have chips or fries. I had the chips and they were thin and crispy with a bit of salt and pepper. My friend had penne in vodka sauce with grilled chicken. Both plates were enough for another meal and we both took home leftovers. The server was very polite and she made sure that our orders were exactly the way we wanted them. During our meal, the manager came over to make sure everything was ok. The restaurant had a beautiful large bar and outside dining. The restaurant was very clean read more

Caters to misogyny. My mother and I went to eat/drink at the bar. Sat at the end right when you walk in where there is only one TV and they had the YES channel playing with the Yankee game coming up. It wasn't super crowded for a weekday at 6:30 but decided on that spot and ordered drinks/food looking forward to watching the Yanks. Just as the game is supposed to start, the channel changes over to the Devils game which was already playing on the large TVs in the back and multiple TVs along the sides of the bar. I politely ask if we can switch back (I'm wearing a Yankee hat). The bartender tells me the men sitting next to us asked to switch. They chime in "What you got a problem with hockey? You don't like the Devils?". I reply "No, we just picked these seats solely because they had on the Yankee channel." And of course he replies, "well we were here first sweetheart." Now at this point, we are mid meal. It would be quite inconvenient for us to move seats vs. two grown men only drinking coors lite. A few minutes later they close out their tab...they sat there on their phones not watching the game. I ask the bartender if she wouldn't mind switching back, she tells me once they leave and he tells me to "relax". So let's maybe establish some rules around the TV etiquette if you're going to encourage this type of behavior from your patrons. I think the staff should be trained on ways to enforce respect. And maybe just simple math. Our bill of wine/food was exponentially higher than their bill of a few coors lite. Maybe cater/respect those who are spending a bit more, only helps their tip at the end of the day. read more

Been to this location a few times. It always has a crowd and for good reason. We went for lunch today and really enjoyed ourselves. Food was delicious, our waiter was very kind and attentive. Our drinks that were made were perfect. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We felt we paid a very reasonable price for everything we got. We love the atmosphere inside. It's HUGE. If you want somewhere with reliable, good food- Tommy's is the way to go! read more

Everyone knows Tommy's by now, kick ass atmosphere with actually pretty damn good food, best place to see a game in the state! Surprised it took me so long to write this review, I've been coming here for a while like everybody else I know, I'm not sure you could beat the atmosphere, the quality, the food, and the enormous number of giant screen TVs! What's not to like, the beer selection is fantastic! They have sushi here like they do at all locations of Tommy's, very very very good. But honestly, here's the kicker, all the other food is good too! For example, I had the beet salad, out of the universe! Even their chips and guacamole are great!! What I want to say importantly, is that it's not just a sports bar, the food is really a cut above many of the other restaurants in the surrounding area in Freehold. As a matter fact, the salads here are about the best in the town. Their thin crust Margherita pizza really is to die for. Little pricey then I wish, cost about 2/3 or more of the cost at a other restaurant with same quality food but without the atmosphere and televisions. Wish the price was a little less but other than that this is a, great spot! Highly recommended. If you're looking for a sports bar to hang out, I actually can't think of any place better! Recommended to if you're just looking for a good meal. A little pricier than hoped, but certainly a place to try. read more

It feels like a regular tavern albeit a bit more upscale and with some decent additions such a nice brick oven. In overall there are plenty of choices, mostly around sushi-style choices, pizza, burgers and a few other typical choices. I loved the focaccia, it was fresh and packed a nice flavor. The onion rings were good as well. The sushi nachos were a bit lackluster. They had more jalapeño and sauce than sushi filling but tasted great all the same, and the chicken wings were great but the lack of sauces to accompany was a bit disappointing (came with buffalo and ranch). The cocktail menu could use some additions, it felt very bear. Tap choices were decent. Place was packed on a Monday afternoon and the wait time for a table for 2 was 20 minutes. May try it again in the future if I'm around. read more
