| - Tommy's has been a staple on Coventry for decades, and is probably one of the oldest dining establishments in that area. It is defintely something worth trying - we go a couple times a year, and certainly would not consider ourselves 'regulars."
The things I like about Tommy's is that it is local (and they use local ingredients as much as possible), and I always enjoy the food.
The things I dislike about Tommy's is that much of the menu is really the same thing with just different funky names for it, when it has one less ingredient than the next. And then there's the price point. While the food is good, often very good, I think it is overpriced, so not really a good value.
I worked in the food service industry in the 80's and 90's, and I understand all of the costs associated with running a restaurant, but I just think Tommy's goes a bit overboard with their prices.
Although on the other hand, I can't blame them, they're in business to make a profit, and people flock to the restaurtant and continue to spend their money there, so...
Having said all of that, last time we went to Tommy's was on a Saturday for our "without-the-kids" lunch. I had the tuna salad sandwich, which had a decent serving of tuna salad, and came with lettuce, tomatoes, and green peppers served cold in a pita bread pocket, actually 2 of them. We also had ordered a side of fries to split with my wife. If I remember correctly, she had the Falafel that day, and I do remember both of us being satisfied with our lunch, but not raving about it like some other places.
Would definitely recommend, so people can make their own mind up.
