| - We were out on the east side yesterday, so we thought we would hit Tommy's for dinner since neither one of us had been there in awhile. We were seated quickly with menus and drinks, and then everything slowed. down. to. a. near. stop. After taking our order, our server didn't appear for another 35-40 minutes. Didn't check on us once during this time. I am usually patient in restaurants, but even I was wondering where the heck two sandwiches and fries were by this point. We kind of think he forgot about us. So, 40 minutes after ordering, we received our food.
My omnivore husband went with the Delaney sandwich, which is a vegetarian take on a reuben with tempeh as the star. I had a veggie burger with Daiya cheese added (it was a weekend splurge for me!). We shared a side of fries.
The sandwiches are pricey when you consider that nothing comes with them. My veggie burger was fine, but not as good as my favorite veggie burger at a certain little cafe in Edgewater. I thought my husband's sandwich was better. The fries were outstanding.
The menu features lots of vegetarian options and things that can be veganized, but overall, it wasn't a great dining experience. I think Lakewood and Cleveland have MUCH better options for vegetarians and vegans, yet Tommy's continues to get the buzz. Makes me wonder why. I would go back, but would go to several other places instead if given the option.
