| - Unless you want bland food or are craving a milkshake, this place is not worth the trouble. After a 20 minute standing wait by a freezing cold door, while several tables sat uncleaned, we were just about to call it quits when our party was called. Though they do have a limited number of meat entrées, no effort or imagination goes in to these carnivorous offerings - they are truly an afterthought. Their "loaded" hamburger was on an airy, untoasted bun without mushrooms or grilled onions and totaled a whopping $10.50! Factor in the cost & inconveniences of limited parking and I left asking myself why we didn't go to Five Guys instead? FG burgers are truly loaded: larger tastier and cheaper with a dozen more toppings. My son's corned beef & egg sandwich fell apart just by picking it up since it was an overstuffed sandwich of paper-thin pita. Thereafter it was a corned beef omelette that he ate! Their 12 options of grilled cheeses sounded all the same and the best thing about a grilled cheese is the option for bacon, of which there was zero, even tho they have several bacon items on the menu. The fruit cup smoothie tasted of 90% OJ & definitely not of the fresh squeezed persuasion. Their vegetarian bean soup was watery and bland with only one type of bean. So two vegetarian options and two meat entrees and both of us agreed we would come back for neither.
I know they offer some nice vegetarian options, but I could find no mention of locally sourced cheese, milk, eggs, meat or vegetables. Even my vegetarian friends admit that the food quality isn't on par with other places. Perhaps this was a unique, creative place in the '70s but the food scene in Cleveland has greatly improved since and unfortunately Tommy's is still in the '70s. And like the food, the atmosphere is bland. How 'bout a wall color other than white?
In looking at the yelp reviews for the last two years there is a disturbing pattern of 3 or less stars. In fact would be interesting for yelp to provide a summary of reviews by year and I think u would see a significant decrease in the last few years with the overall rating being skewed by hundreds of older reviews. A menu refresh is long overdue with more flavorful & inspired vegetarian and local options. The vegetarian community has long (clearly too long) supported this place and deserve better! Their prices are too high for this unimaginative food; don't settle for this less than average vegetarian diner as there are much better out there.
