“My last visits to this Tommy’s Red Hots on Friday, August 1st, 2025 was pretty much good. The second time I went in to eat my dinner. They were running a bit behind on making food but overall the experience was fine. The pizza is always delicious. The staff is so polite and respectful here. (Written 8-10-25)“

“We had our annual family reunion for my husband's side of the family and it was the best day ever! Billy is very accommodating, makes great food and provides a lot of laughter! Super helpful and caring to all at his restaurant & Will let you rent out the whole facility and side yard for private parties! We had Italian beef, salad, baked mostaccioli and Greek chicken! Everyone loved the food and had tons of leftovers to take home! Very reasonable price per person! Definitely holding next year's family reunion at Beef village with Billy! Thank you for making our day so wonderful and extremely hassle-free so we could just enjoy family, food and fun!“

“Best wings in the area. They are large good flavor and always well cooked.
The appetizers are also quite good. I have never been disappointed in Offsides. The waitstaff is very attentive and beer is cold. I have no complaints, just 1 suggestion, and I hope ownership sees this. A dry rub for your wings would be phenomenal.“

“very clean, great menu, personal service. highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by for dinner at lunch and they do serve cocktails“

“great subs..no skimping on their subs...bread crumby but good flavor...great prices.. we'll be back!!“

“I'm giving it a five based on multiple experiences. My experience in 2025 wasn't so great, the sauce which used to come in a container they filled that day now came in a pre-packaged container with a foil lid. This may seem inconsequential, but it seemed to taste older it even had a slightly different color.“

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“The food , portion sizes , and prices are great but the chairs are unpadded and feel like sitting on cold concrete. On a cold day it's just as cold in the dine in area. as it is outside. Please turn up the heat out of consideration for the senior customers.“

“Ordered a hot dog, Italian beef, fries and a drink. The beef and fries were great. The hot dog was pretty good. Only negative is the prices which are up there. The order was $26. It wasn't that long ago that my wife and I could go to a casual sit down restaurant and get 2 full dinners for $30.“

“The pizza was eh. They told us that we needed to call ahead for a full pizza but we were able to get slices. That was good enough and I got cheese fries too. Definitely a very good combo to go for. I definitely recommend if you are trying to get full very quick. I loved it and definitely will be going to the Glendale heights location since I live around that area“

“Good location. My first time here. The food was hot and fresh. The service was quick and efficient. Ilthe atmosphere was cool and calm. Very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and the food tasted great. We will patronize this location again if in the area.

Parking: They have a large lot to accommodate many vehicles.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and easily accessible doors and tables.“

“This place is fricken awesome! I love them employees and i love the food. Everyone is awesome and they work very good as a team. Good job boss man for hiring good employees! I recommend this place so much!!! The new root beer floats might be the best thing ever, i would get with your meal.“

“If you want a fast food option that consistently pleases, Tommy's Red Hots is it!! The guy who takes your order always sounds happy and makes you feel special. The food is great, fresh and doesn't disappoint! A very nice break from constant carrots:) I would definitely recommend to family and friends!“
