| - I gave it a shot because it looked interesting from the street and had a nice patio.
I went, that's it, I'm done.
I ordered the Blue Plate Special, which today was a chicken green chili plate.
The chicken was quite dry, it came with wild rice (wtf?) and had tomato slices on a bed of leafy greens. W? T? F?
That screams out "filler".
There was pico de gallo which wasn't too bad. No idea if it was handmade or store bought, but it was the bright spot in my experience.
To drink I had a belgian wheat beer that was pretty good, but I ordered that one because the waiter said they didn't have Widmer Bros. Hefeweizen.
Despite there being a Widmer Bros. Hefeweizen neon sign hanging behind the bar.
The waitress, who, by the way, appeared to be old enough to have worked at Toms when it opened (80 years) was not good at all. Ten minutes from when I ordered my beer she came out empty handed to see if I was ready to order. When I asked about aforementioned beer she rolled her eyes and departed, returning with said beer, adorned with an orange slice, that I specifically requested it not have.
When my food was delivered, in a MOSTLY timely manner, she never returned.
Ever.
Despite my beer being empty.
I don't think I'll be going back to Toms, nor would I recommend it.
