My gf and I were in Portland today and saw Tomaso’s … We were hungry but didn’t know what to think at first.. so we checked out the reviews before going in.. let me just say. The reviews about how delicious the Steak and Cheese Sub and Dump Truck Fries are worth the hype!! Sooooo Good!! It’s a cozy venue with a very pleasant and attentive staff! We went in hungry and left happy and very satisfied ! This place is definitely worth the visit!

Great local dive with awesome staff (shout out, Shawna!). Great beer selection and solid prices. Special shout out to the dominator breakfast sandwich and the spiciest bloody mary mix in town.

Oh, what to say about Tomaso's but if you're looking for a small little hole in the wall for one of the best steak bombs ever in New England, then look no further. This is the place to be.

It looks intimidating at first but you realize upon entering it's just a vibrant, intimate little sit-down bar. All the neon and lights inside just adds to its rustic charm.

Now to the main subject, the steakbomb. Tender, very peppery shredded beef, red peppers, succulent onions, and that cheese sauce. Oh, the cheese sauce. Just perfectly salty, creamy, and perfect to dip your crunchy fries into.

Think 'a grungy biker with a teddy bear personality' energy. This is what Tomaso's is and I'm all for it. I can't wait to go back again sometime. Local beer on tap, too! Delicious!

The only thing I couldn't understand is why there is no parking? There's a big ass parking lot but all the spots were for the bank, I feel like the owner should have made a deal with them or figured something out. I spent 30 mins trying to find a place to park to go in. Food was banging tho, got buffalo wings, asked for all flats and they did as many as they could (which was most of the 10 I ordered)

Great little dive. Had to kill some time here waiting for a dinner reservation. Food was great, music was great, atmosphere was on point and everything reasonably priced. Would be a staple for me if I lived in Portland.

4 of us went to this place. We walked in and sat at a table, the waitress walked over and threw menus down. So I said we're we supposed to waitto

We just popped in for drinks while we waited for a local restaurant. Shannan is THE BEST! She made the best Bloody Mary mix I've ever had. She works day shift. Do yourself a favor and stop in to see her.
