“Overall good experience!I took away one star (really a half star) because the descriptions of the menu items lack critical information, which delayed ordering. For example, the chicken dish is made with nuts and chocolate, but you wouldn't know unless your waiter/waitress tells you. More information would be helpful for 1st time patrons to make an educated decision in their food selection.But food was great, none the less. Server was patient and attentive. Atmospher I'd lovely and well decorated. (Make a reservation in advance if you want to sit indoors)Alcoholic Drinks are small and tasty.Parking: 3 hours free parking and you can validate parking with restaurant“

“Made a visit there during an out of town meeting. I wanted to go to a bar and grill and after looking at some reviews, chose Tommy's. That was NOT as mistake. The menu is huge, so many items on it with a lot of variety, like sushi, pizza, wings, soup and many others. Sometimes, places that serve a large variety of things do not have good quality, but I was pleasantly surprised here. On my first visit, I got the Spicy Mikey Artisan Flatbread with the calamari for the appetizer. There was a generous amount of calamari and the flavor was good. Lightly breaded and fried. Not overcooked or over-salted either. Juicy, tender and not rubbery, just like I like it. Then the flatbread came out. It was also very tasty. The meatballs were juicy, fresh ricotta, the San Marzano tomato sauce and the drizzle of Mike's hot honey hit the spot. Of course, cannot forgot the fresh garlic. Gotta have that! It wasn't just one thing that made it so enjoyable. Everything just came together, the richness of the cheese, flavor of the meatballs, the slight spiciness of the hot honey and the raw kick of the garlic all together made a great meal. To top it off, it was huge. The picture I took probably did not do the size justice. I ate about half of it and saved the other half for lunch the next day. Still tasted good the overnight sit in the refrigerator. I would definitely go there again, and as a matter of fact, I did two days later. This time I just had the Triple T's Cheeseburger. Nothing fancy, just the regular toppings one would expect, cheddar, onion, lettuce (no tomato for me) on a brioche bun with fries. The burger, like the other items was huge, but I did not have to cut it with a knife first. Unlike some other places that have huge burgers, the amount of bun did not dominate the meal. They advertise it as 10 ounces, and I think that's accurate. The taste was very fresh, not greasy and cooked medium as requested. The meat had a consistency like it was ground during my visit and was not overworked during forming of the patty as it was tender and juicy. Again, like the other items I ordered, all of the ingredients were fresh, veggies crisp and overall, a very satisfying burger. Some places have a hard time pulling off a 'simple burger', as it's harder to hide mistakes making it using a few ingredients, but that was not the case here. I thoroughly enjoyed something this 'simple'. The atmosphere was typical sports bar busy and noisy. It's a bit noisier than some other places I've been to, but a few of the reviews had mentioned that so I was prepared. No issues for me though. It's a large place. The service was great too. The waiter did a great job being personable and explained some of items on the menu that I was not familiar with. He also was sociable and smiled a lot (which unfortunately, is something I don't see much of nowadays.) He did a great job. Overall, I really liked the experience. The restaurant is part of a chain, but I wouldn't let that persuade someone from visiting. Everything I had was great and that's not something I see at chain restaurants. Hopefully, the other locations are just as good.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

Ended up getting the kale salad which was AMAZING. Best kale salad i've ever had, and can't stop thinking about it. Service was great too, and very friendly and quick. Fun ambiance, always busy.

“Was there on a Saturday night on the evening of Somerville's holiday parade - the place was packed! Beer was decent and the food was quite good. Service was on the slow side, but not outrageously so - actually reasonable in view of the crowd they were serving. It was pretty loud and uncomfortable for conversation. Although they were packed, I think it was more due to the acoustics.“
