I wanted to take my girlfriend here since it's a Heights institution from its hippie days- plus it offers lots of vegetarian options. She ended up getting a turkey burger, but I was the one who got a veggie option: the tempeh burger. Delicious. However, I had to make my meal unhealthy with the addition of a milkshake and fries.
The menu is pretty large and is not all veggie (I think there's more meat on it than I remember). However, sticking with a veggie option was the best choice for me since that's what they're known for.
Coming from out of town, I actually was entirely unaware that Tommy's was a long standing vegetarian institution in the area, because after a 6:00am flight out of Boston, all I wanted was a really stellar burger, and Tommy's is where we ended up.
We knew there would be a wait for a table by the amount of people standing around, but the "host" is actually a pad of paper for you to write your name on the list which is pretty inconvenient if you have a movie to catch or something. We were ravenous so it was fortunate we only ended up waiting 20 minutes or so for a table. I briefly scoped out the vegetarian options on the menu but was sticking with my original craving for a juicy burger, as did everyone else at the table except my sister. Our food came relatively quickly and we split some fries and milkshakes to wash it all down.
My Curtburger was well seasoned and topped with tons of mushrooms and onions, but the mayo was slopped a little thick and the bun was nearly soaked all the way through from the meat juices. The fries were fine after a solid dousing of salt (yes, they are marked as unsalted) and the milkshake was quite delicious. My sister however was rather displeased with the veggie platter she got and I couldn't blame her. The hummus had a really poor texture, the spinach pie was super vinegary, and a "dip" that seemed to be just straight tahini. For a known vegetarian restaurant, I certainly never expected a beef burger to be executed much better than the non-meat offerings but overall the experience is worth another try should I be in the area again.
Wow, TONS of plant-based options to choose from!
I was with a party of seven and everyone enjoyed their food. Five of us were plant eaters and the other two went along with us because we gave such convincing arguments. They loved their vegan selections, too.
The homemade soups were terrific and the hummus was absolutely delicious. I've never had hummus like it, but it was oh so divine.
I had the French onion soup, no bread, no cheese. The broth was so good! I also ordered the tamales with chili and a side of brown rice. The portions were huge and the flavors were off the hook.
If you're trying to eat healthier and you want a quick, cheap variety, check out what they have going at Tommy's.
They're right near the Huron Hospital where people are being treated for diabetes and other chronic illnesses. If you're there with a loved one and your doctor suggests eating healthier, stop by Tommy's, order plant-based, and see how delicious healthy living can be!
Last time I ate here everything was just bland..... very very bland. Breakfast potato thingies were barely cooked - not crispy at all. Sad.
Tommy's is fantastic!! So many vegan and vegetarian options. And, of course there's fun for the meat… Read more »
What can you say about Tommy's besides that its practically an institution. They've been around since God was a boy. If that isn't a testament to their quality and reliability then I don't know what is.
Tommy's is known as a vegetarian eatery to most of the Heights dwellers. They do in fact serve meat. But that's really beside the point.
The food at Tommy's is always a delicious melange of masterfully assembled ingredients. Hummus, falafel, sprouts, veggies, cheeses... I'm getting hungry already. Every item has a name, i.e. the Ceebee (my fav) so be prepared to a little reading. The menu is long too - lots to chose from.
If you need convincing but dont want to sit down. Take a stroll down Coventry, take in the atmosphere and when you are ready for a treat, walk in and get one of their amazing milk shakes (or yogurt shakes). Its practically a religious experience. Trust me!
Do what I did: order a banana milkshake and a Ceebee and your tummy will be very happy. I definitely want to bring my vegetarian best friend here someday if we road trip together.
The only reason why it's 4 stars is because it looked like it was constantly slammed. The only reason I got a place to sit was because I was by myself and sat at the bar. Seemed like a constant long wait if you were in parties of 2 or more.
The displays, art and fliers on the wall speak clearly -- it's a bit of an art space with lots of spunk. Eclectic menu choices show imagination, and its simple and efficient layout and decor tell you that it's a no-nonsense venue.
Prices are reasonable, and the organic fare is plentiful.
Lines can be brutal, but as long as you come at a decently off hour, you should be okay.
I like particularly the fact that they have home made peanut butter. Much more buttery than sweet, it will be a meal that you remember.
There is no rule that they won't break, so don't be shocked at the hodgpodge of dining elections. Be adventurous -- you might be pleasantly surprised!
I have a really hard time finding the good in this place. It's touted as this mecca for vegetarians/vegans, yet when I see the mounds of iceberg lettuce and canned tuna, I can't help but be reminded of the salad bar in my college dining hall (interestingly, Tommy's mid-80's-esque spartan ambiance feels like a cross between a cafeteria and an airport food court).
I, fortunately, am not a vegetarian or diet-restricted and so I have little reason to celebrate the fact that Tommy's is one of few gluten-free or macrobiotic-friendly establishments in Cleveland. While there is a wide selection for meat eaters, I have the toughest time ordering because nothing ever sounds appetizing. The Curley -- coldcut ham + layers of melted cheese + green peppers = enough unsatisfying grease to induce a bout of pancreatitis. I know that vegetarian/vegan and healthy are not synonymous, a fact that I am reminded of after each meal at Tommy's. It's as if they're trying to cover up the fact that their food has no flavor by piling it on with cheese or tempting patrons with "exotic" tamari sauce.
I think what I find most annoying is how people rave about Tommy's fries and shakes, which granted, are good, but is the kind of praise reserved for any self-respecting diner, or drive-thru for that matter. Tommy's homemade unsalted fries for $3.39 (which we will inevitably douse with salt) and a milkshake for $4.59 -- pricey, and I haven't even ordered my meal. Beyond all reason, Tommy's has become a Cleveland fixture and is wildly popular, so expect a wait if you come on a weekend or most nights around dinner. I just don't get what's so special about Tommy's. The food is about as healthy as what you'd get across the street at Panini's or a few doors down at the Winking Lizard, even though it aspires to be so much more.
A fun, funky restaurant with an eclectic menu, Tommy's seems to hit a nice balance -- there's an emphasis on the sorts of food preferences that can easily be annoyingly fanatical, but Tommy's never stumbles into that quagmire. Instead, they serve interesting, tasty food in a welcoming atmosphere that just happens to highlight the various food philosophies they service -- thankfully, without losing sight of the actual food.
I live in LA now, and the one and only thing I miss about living in Ohio, is TOMMY'S. I grew up eating the food here, and it's been a family institution ever since. My mom used to come here for lunch everyday when she was in college! We don't visit Ohio without eating at Tommy's.
The rest of our family may not be as passionate about this place as we are, but my mouth is watering just thinking about this restaurant. My favourite thing about Tommy's is that they are still recognizeable. They have not changed much since I was a toddler, and they still carry the same open and friendly vibe with the same amazing food!
Their falaffel is top notch, Their salads are big like I like it (Only complaint is the ice berg lettuce), they are the sole reason I love spinach pie, and (saving best for last) YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER MILK SHAKE.
I 100% stand by that statement. I have traveled a pretty large portion of the globe, and no one's handscooped milkshakes can come near to the one's at Tommy's. You don't know what you're missing if you never order one!
with that being said, the only downside to Tommy's are as follow:
They should ditch the ice berg, and use real lettuce.
They get obnoxiously crowded sometimes.
They pack a lot of flavor into their food, which may be a little much for some guests.
I gain 5 pounds just by staying in the general vicinity of this place...!
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Quite the institution on the east side, Tommy's specializes in vegetarian/vegan dishes, yet has burgers/roast beef/corned beef for your omnivore friends. I am a full-blown meat-eater, but I always order vegetarian dishes here 1) in an attempt to try to eat healthier, and 2) in order to make a date think I eat healthier than I do.
The brunch here on Sunday (or anytime) is great, as is pretty much anything else on the menu. Don't worry about not getting filled up -- even the falafel here is delicious and plentiful.
I've recently gone vegetarian and decided to give Tommy's a try. The service wasn't too great; my boyfriend and I waited almost 20 minutes for a server to greet our table...but the food is delicious. My boyfriend ordered a veggie burger and I went the different route and tried their "Dee-lite". Our bill came out to be pretty cheap and we both left satisfied customers.
I like Tommy's. I know lot's of people who love it, and I'm ok with that, because it is a good place to eat, and has been that way for a LONG time. The thing is I never seem to crave it. Whenever I do go, I have a hard time picking from the menu, not because I'm a picky eater, but more because I'm afraid it won't fill me up. Oddly enough, I end up enjoying whatever I end up ordering, and with a side of their delicious fries I end up being satisfied.
I am certain the problem is with me and not Tommy's, and when friends come from out of town, I am quick to recommend it if they are going to be in the Coventry area.
The menu is pretty expansive with a heavy leaning towards middle-eastern food and there are LOTS of options for vegetarians. My recent favorites are the THC sandwich (Turkey, ham, and cheese, not reefer) and the Gordon meat pie.
The milkshakes are really good, as are the fries. Be sure to order both.
Tommy's always seems to be crowded, but they've got lots of tables and the wait never seems to be too long. Make it a point to go there if you haven't yet.
Pretty good food. Great milkshakes.
I am fond of their brunch menu.
People complain about it taking too long to wait for. Both to get a table and between the time you order and actually get your food. But I find that it is just perfect for going there with a group of people you want to have plenty of time to talk to.
So if you do not need to get anywhere anytime soon, is great for getting a meal with some friends.
Tommy's is a Cleveland tradition and a place I've been going to since I was a kid. It still has a post-hippie, early 1970s feel that has stood the test of time. The vegetarian/vegan options are great and the menu is full of creative names and extensive options. Although their tends to be an emphasis on the veggie food, there are plenty of options for the meat-lover crowd. The portions aren't huge, but you'll feel a bit healthier (and lighter) for it!
The broccoli risotto and french onion soup are great starters. All the sandwiches are awesome too (check out the grilled cheeses!). There's also a wide selection of desserts, milkshakes, and smoothies to choose from.
They do lack in the service area, although the waiters and waitresses are nice/helpful enough. You may be here awhile, but the atmosphere should more than make up for it. It's a bright place in a wonderful neighborhood.
Another plus is that it's connected to the great mom and pop bookstore, Mac's Back Books!
Tommy's is an awesome restaurant for both the food, and the soy milkshakes. The spinach pies are great, and the service is good.
I lived in Cleveland for 13 years. I have been in Washington, DC for 8. I still can't find anything that remotely approaches the quality of food and the atmosphere at Tommy's. Awesome for breakfast. Great for lunch dates.
I HIGHLY recommend ordering the Fitz (omelet) and the Lisa(stack of pancakes with strawberries). Nothing compares to Tommy's breakfast menu and I have eaten at a lot of places. Culinary swoon!
I must whisper this review to you. For were the Greater Cleveland area about to hear the three words I shall utter into the shell-like curves of your ear, I would be lynched - strung from the rafters, torn to shreds, my bones burnt to embers. And those words are this:
Tommy's is overrated.
For some reason, Tommy's has acquired a cult of personality in the Land of Cleve that baffles me. Don't get me wrong, it's a perfectly *good* restaurant. If you're looking for milkshakes, it has the best in town.
But the food? Is merely okay. It's heavy on vegan-friendly food, and the whole place looks like a hippie with a cleaning fetish opened up a diner ... So if you're looking for your macrobiotic sprout pita, you're probably so grateful to find a place that doesn't spit meat juice in your eye that you'll happily proclaim it the second coming of a vegetarian Christ.
The rest of us, though? The menu is awkwardly repetitive - you know the way Taco Bell takes lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, chicken, and beef, and tries to convince us that they have A THOUSAND OPTIONS? Yeah, it's like that. The menu is gigantic, until you realize that about ten of the choices all boil down to "this is a pita-hummus thing with sprouts, this is without, this has peppers added."
And the food is... Well, bland. Given what you pay for the privilege, it's oddly heavy on grain tastes, and the hummus isn't even as good as the dearly-departed SAJ.
Also, you have precisely three chances to talk to your waitress: When she takes your order, when she brings the food - and, twenty years later, when she brings the bill. If you want, say, a refill on your water, you'd better bring a flare gun, because Tommy's is busy and does not break stride for mere customers.
Still, their milkshakes are to die for. They probably ask the cows really nicely for the milk, and get cream. Silly hippies.
I just had the seitan gyro. When i can make something better myself, that does not say much about a restaurant. The "meat" was bland and the yogurt sauce chalky. Not to mention they wanted to top it with SALSA?!? I ordered Greek, not Grexican. The tofu egg salad sandwich- same deal. Bland as all get out. I applaud them for being a long running veg institution, but at this point they're coasting on their rep. I don't really dine in here much, so i can't really rip on the service( i shudder to think how bad it might be). After being to Real Food Daily in LA and having mind-blowing veggie salisbury steak, most other places are gonna fall well short. I could go 3 stars, but with this much word of mouth, i expect more. A Booger King microwaved veggie burger is truthfully more satisfying than anything i' ve had at Tommy' s.
I love the DC and fries. It is absolutely the best comfort food this side of the Cuyahoga River.
Tommy's is one of my all time favorite restaurants anywhere. They have great veggie creations and other delicious selections as well. I love the broccoli rizzo in particular. Other than that, I always try different sandwiches and I have never been disappointed.
The last time I was there with some visiting relatives the staff was not only friendly and helpful but the maintained a sense of humor despite my brother in law teaching my kids how to stick teabags to a window. Nice.
Yes kids, Uncle Bo is a fun guy and has righteously earned his nickname of Monkeybutt.
Tommy's and My Finances:
-Sally Mae lending, meet Tommy's Restaurant. You can thank Tommy's for a decent amount of my stipend loans.
Tommy's and Ethics:
- Tommy's made being a vegan for half of college possible.
- Tommy's made delicious and softened the guilt of the devolution into a vegetarian and then meat-eater.
Tommy, the Man:
- Tommy himself dug through several bags of trash to find my retainer which I had accidentally crumpled up in a napkin (yeah, gross, I know, but I was really hung over, okay?). I bet if you asked him, he would remember this. Wouldn't you?
Tommy's: Supernatural
- Their coffee is not real. Read that however you like.
- This was my chosen first meal (BBQ Chicken Sandwich w/fries and a peanut butter soy shake) after I spent some time in the hospital for food poisoning and hadn't eaten in days. You thought their food and shakes were good when you're NOT dehydrated and emaciated? Think again. Try the Chipotle up the street for the food poisoning part. Cleveland Clinic will take care of you after that. A cab ride from there to Tommy's is maybe $10 -- all in all (if your co-pay's good), it's a great deal.
I love how people refer to this as a "health food" restaurant. It's just a good restaurant that doesn't serve lots of garbage fried everything greasy suburban American crap. Lot's of veggie and vegan options and very consistent. Yes, it is a bit over-rated but come on this is Cleveland and we're lucky to even have this. If this is too much of a hippy joint for you I'm sure you can punch "Applebee's" into to your GPS and be on your way.
I really like Tommy's...if they have a fault, its being held up to the expectation of their own legend.
The food does not float down upon clouds from heaven. Sick puppies do not find a home with every order. You will not lose weight after eating breakfast. Keep a level head, and you will be happy. Sure, it skews more towards the "alt" eating lifestyle, but that is what makes it great...and I'll eat anything. Sure, if given the option, I will almost always opt for the fake meat/veggie choice, but at the same time, I'm a complete pussy, so I don't go all the way with it. But I'll go to Tommy's and enjoy absolutely everything on the menu...and you won't find more than half of whats on it anywhere else in town, period...cheaper or not.
You can get bigger portions for less money elsewhere. You'll get more attentive service elsewhere. But if you want a true Cleveland experience, go to Tommy's...you won't find it elsewhere. I don't care if the entire staff is high...if anything, I'll be jealous. I don't care if I get merely satisfied instead of stuffed...I eat too much anyway. Its all fresh, all unique, and thats it. Oh yea...incredible milkshakes! Best around.
Be sure to go nextdoor (and you don't even have to go outside to do it) and check out the bookstore...grab a few sci-fi mags and an old novel or two and get your nerd on. If you get a slight complaint twitch, remember you won't find any place else quite like it anywhere and shut the hell up.
Tommy's has a huge menu of vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free foods. They also have meat. It seems that most of the menu is variations on a few things: salads, falafel, burgers, breakfast.
My lunch was ok. I was so excited by the menu, but the food was a little bland, a little lukewarm. I also ordered a lemon cookie, which turned out to be a "throw everything in the cupboard into it" cookie--oatmeal, raisins, nuts, rice blah blah blah. It didn't taste like lemon. I was disappointed.
I think I'd probably have to go here a few times to figure out what I like on the menu.
This place has been a regular destination for us in Cleveland for over a decade now, and it continues to be a restaurant we recommend without hesitation. A huge vegetarian, vegan, and specialty menu, decidedly friendly to those with specific culinary needs (i.e. no gluten, etc.), which succeeds in not isolating those folks who experience the onset of panic when "vegetarian" is mentioned. Yes, meat does exist here, and yes, I'm sure it's tastily cooked and presented as well.
We pretty much only ever get the same meal when we come here, which is ridiculous due to the massive selection available. The "Ceebee" is freaking delicious, however, and I drool when thinking about it: pita stuffed with falafel, hummus, bean sprouts, cheese, and some other wonderful things, all heated together. I'm glad that there's only two portions included in the meal, as I could probably gorge myself sick on this stuff.
I'm a big fan of Tommy's hummus, as well, which one can purchase as its own plate in either the normal or "spiked" variety (which features everything from BBQ sauce to the moon, apparently). I tend to get the normal hummus plate, sometimes with cheese, to split with friends, and we're rarely disappointed. When I ate there recently, however, the hummus wasn't as up to par as it normally is - I suppose everyone has their off days.
Snag a booth to eat in if you can, as it enhances the overall aesthetic of the place - wood polished by the feet and rears of thousands, random plants everywhere, easy access to the bookstore next door, show and concert posters crammed onto the wall in the entry foyer. Generally, Tommy's is clean, well-lit, small group/family-friendly, and satisfying to the stomach. The servers are hit or miss, as the place tends to employ its share of hipster kids, who can either be friendly or awkwardly removed from normal social niceties. We've rarely had an issue with that, however.
Recommended.
I usually only eat here if I can get it to go. And after living next to it for three years, I usually always did. The salads are amazing. I have dreams about them now that I've left the neighborhood. Piles of raw, tasty vegetables, paired with delicious things like hummus and falafel. The spinach pies are also tasty, if you don't want to go the healthiest route. I think the prices are reasonable, too.
Now, the service. It was never very good and it continued to decline rapidly through the years. The servers only check on you twice. Once to take your order, once to get your money. Everyone who works there has an attitude like they're god's gift to the scene and you're seriously putting them out by asking for something. There's a very clear division of labor. I've never, ever seen a female busser, hostess, or cook, or a male server or behind the counter. That's weird to me.
In my opinion, this is the most overrated restaurant in Cleveland. People at Case and other people that I know who live around the area treat this place like it's built on a cloud in Heaven...in my opinion, it's on the subterranean levels of purgatory.
There are three good things on the menu: the Ceebee, the fries, and the milkshakes. If the milkshakes weren't so great, I would have given this one star.
Everything else stinks. I don't like ordering the same thing at a restaurant every time I go there, so I have tried other things on the menu at various points in the hopes that something else will be good...but I wind up disappointed every time.
The portions are very small and the prices are quite high in comparison as well. When I go out to eat, I like to leave feeling full and satisfied...and that doesn't happen at Tommy's unless I eat everyone else's leftovers or spend a lot of money.
Many of my friends take their out-of-town guests to this place; when I hear of their plans to do so, I always try to intervene and take them to somewhere with better food that more accurately represents Cleveland (such as The Winking Lizard or Siam Cafe). If you're in Coventry and are dead set against eating at a bar, go to Hunan Coventry. Honestly, in the five minutes or so that it has taken to write this review, my opinion of Tommy's has gotten even worse...so I'll stop before I change my review to one star.
I'm Vegetarian and Tommy's is a gift to Cleveland, always has been.
A staple to the food scene, this hip and healthy restaurant makes everything from fresh juices, milkshakes (that you may not finish it's so huge), to veggie burgers, hot dogs, wraps to fries. If you like hearty vegetarian food that doesn't leave you wanting something else, this is the place.
With meat also available Tommy's will please even the toughest critic.
One tip, when you walk in, if there is a wait make sure YOU add your name the waiting list, there isn't really a host or hostess.
Last month, 15 of us went to Tommy's for a goodbuy lunch. One of us went 30 min in advance just in case it would be too crowed as I heard from friend.
The sign is very small and all of us get lost just 10 feet from it. When we got in, turn out there is not crowed as we expected but getting filled 30min later ( so it's better to get someone there specially for big group).
The enviroment is a plus. The food were served a little late but it is understandable for a big group. I ordered a "meat pie" served as pie (as it sounds) with lamb meat, mushroom and cheese. I have heavy taste and it is perfect for me with the special vinegar on the table (means it might be too talty for you). The lamb meat cooked very well and overall for the pie is 4 and 1/2 star out of five.
Down part of the dish is that there is nothing eles in this dish. And I did not get full after this cheesy pie.
Overall, it is a good place to go once for a while.
This is a really great place for vegetarians, vegans, or people with other special diets and ordering here for them is stress-free because of the offerings on the menu.
It's the kind of place where you can get soy-a-melt, tempeh, or sunflower seeds in your tuna sandwich. Tastily creative and healthier than a burger or some other sandwiches.
This food is ordinary, average, not bad, A-OK as Yelp puts it. They have funny names for their falafels, spinach pies...etc. Try ordering 1 "aunt rose" or "uncle gay" with a straight face. They also serve milkshakes, which is a good thing.
...Oh, and their to-go cups are nice to keep and to use again and again!
I wanted to love this place as much as I did in the 90's. While I do appreciate the loads of healthy food options, something about the chaotic vibe bugs me. To my disadvantage, I was hungover and it was Saturday afternoon. All I wanted was food...asap. It took a while for our server to get it together. And the busboy kept clanging plates around when clearing tables. And, I was NOT the only one that annoyed with the sound he was making.
Great unsalted fries. They keep the skin on. YUM. Wish they offered a side with their sandwiches though.
I know it's been mentioned in previous posts....but seriously, what is up with "homos". Spell hummus right, douche bags!
Think diner but healthy. The fries and the milkshakes here are top notch. The coffee ain't bad either. I have had fantastic experiences with the seitan subs, most of the falafel sandwiches, and most of the salads as well. The place is pretty cheap too.
Yeah, like everyone else here says, the service is crappy. But the place is always bumping and you get young and good-looking (though inept) servers and staff instead of old and weathered (though adept) folk serving you your grub. A trade-off I can live with.
Coventry will be completely BoBo in 10-20 years, so get there sometime soon.
Good place for vegetarians. I think this is the first restaurant I've been to where they have dishes with seitan and tempeh. Their meat entrees and salads are good too from what I hear. The shakes are really tasty. I had the peach milkshake and it was smooth and creamy with chunks of peach inside. I went one other time and had an escarole and potato pie which I didn't like because it was really bland. Overall though, good stuff!
Dinner:
Becky pie (spinach, cheese, and tempeh)
Peach milkshake
Total with tax: $10.88
Tommy's is about my favorite breakfast stop around Cleveland Heights. Both healthy and traditional breakfast options are available. Much like breakfast, their lunch and dinner menu is pretty big. Generally when anybody comes to visit from out of town, I take them here. It's hard to not to find something on the menu regardless of what your tastes are.
I would definitely recommend the breakfast sandwich with peanutbutter as well as their milkshakes (one goes a long way).
Shakes. Rock. The Casbah.
Really, that's all you need to know. I'd never heard of "Moose Tracks" before I found this place, but apparently it is a known thing in Cleveland.
The eclectic menu is fantastic and this place more than any other I can think of will please everyone in your party.
Plus, it's so hard to find decent places on Coventry, this place deserves it just for being a great place on that street.
Right on Case's campus you can find the best milkshakes in the world.
And everything else on the menu is healthy and delicious. They have a great selection of salads and other entrees for vegetarians and vegans.
I miss this place!
Tommy's seems to always be referred to as, "an institution." Guess that means it must be good?
THE UP-SIDE:
Hip, semi-healthy, and lively.
THE DOWN-SIDE:
The service is always pretty rushed and crummy here. I've eaten here countless times and cannot think of one occasion where the server seemed happy in any way to be talking with me. Maybe they're just under a huge rush with little help; I don't really know. I do know that they seem to spend as little time as is humanly possible waiting on you.
THE SUM-IT-UP:
Don't expect great service. Just go and enjoy the good food and lively atmosphere. When you're done, head over to "Big Fun" for a downright silly and odd collection of vintage-type toys.
man, tommy's is good. i have to admit, i don't normally dig the tree-hugging, all natural, all organic, granola-crunchiness of places like this, but once i conquered my distrust of all things hippie, i was a regular here.
depending on what you get, some of the sandwiches can get a little greasy, but i kinda like that. my faves were the andre, curley, jenny wrap, tlt, thc, & the steph. went back in recently and treated myself to some nostalgia with the thc. just like i remembered. amazing that, in 10 years, i don't think their menu has changed. and why should it? there is literally something for everyone, though i couldn't help but think they resented me for ordering meat.
the milk shakes are really good but, truth be told, 99% of the time i'd get the lemonade. best. damn. lemonade. period.
so, if you're up in the heights, and strolling along coventry - and, if you're in the heights, where else would you be strolling? - stop into tommy's. tell them james sent you. they won't know what that means, but tell them anyway.
I always eat here at least once when I'm in town. They have a truly incredible selection. They have very many choices of food that is both delicious and really good for your health. Plus, the choices aren't boring.
