| - I finally visited Tommy's with my wife after 'knowing' about it for a few years. Both of us are vegetarians that also eat some dairy products like cheese and milk. We try to find vegan/vegetarian options at local restaurants, and with Tommy's large selection of such meals on the menu, we had to visit.
Appearance-wise, the establishment was clean and well kept. We sat in one of the booths near the grill/kitchen and appreciated the somewhat 'private' nature of seats. The tables were clean and the benches were comfortable.
We were promptly asked for drinks and had to order milkshakes, after reading other reviews. They arrived within just a few minutes. I ordered a chocolate malt, my daughter a coffee shake, and my wife a strawberry shake. All of our were delightfully pleased with the flavor, quality and texture of our shakes. Really good, very smooth, and blended well. I'd order one again.
The menu is huge. The entire first half (about 3-4 pages) is mostly vegan/vegetarian. There are selections containing falafels, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and even a Boca Burger. If I have any complaint, it's that there's almost too much. The second half has more traditional meat-focused choices, but I honestly didn't read over them. There's also a good selection of grilled cheese sandwiches.
I ordered a "B. W. Falafel" because I am a sucker for mushrooms and swiss cheese. It came with green peppers, tomatoes, bean sprouts, two falafel patties, swiss cheese, and mushrooms. There was some type of sauce but I couldn't tell if it was tahini or not. The falafel patty was moist and tasteful, and it wasn't like any of the store-bought varieties we've had at home, so I assume they are hand made. The pita was slightly grilled and the cheese was pleasantly melted on the inside. It was very flavorful and all the components tasted fresh. There may have been a little too much in the bean sprout department, but I noticed my wife's tofu salad sandwich had a large amount as well. I simply removed a small portion and set it aside. The pita was just barely crispy and not soggy. I could stop eating it once I started.
All in all, I would order the falafel again, as well as the shake. Service was fast; I believe we were served our sandwiches within ten minutes. Our total stay was about an hour, judging from the time left on the parking meter!
It's great to find such a huge selection of veggie/vegan menu options, but there's plenty for meat eaters as well. We'll be back!
