Tommy's Tavern + Tap

3.5. I really wanted to love this place, as it has a great atmosphere, but it feels average. The menu is huge, and offers a ton of possibilities. Food is on par with other large chain sports bars and grills. Not horrible, though definitely not worth the price, and has cafeteria vibes. My Mac and cheese tasted like it was pasta swimming in cheap cheese dip. The pulled pork was great on top. The pizza was nothing to write home about. The spinach dip was good.

We sat at the bar by choice, and service was not the best. Our bar tender rarely checked in on us. They offered a specialty off drafts on Thursday which was nice. The draft list includes the typical beers, and then a bunch of craft IPAs. It would be nice to have some craft beer that is not an IPA. I would come back for drinks to watch a game, as they have so many TVs, but I would not recommend this place for dinner.

Ok, probably not a great idea to visit this place on a Friday. However, the hostess was great and they were able to put me on the waiting list.

I can see why Houlihan’s did not stand a chance in this sports crazed generation. Tommy’s offer great bar food/Asian with a great atmosphere to enjoying sporting events. For south NJ people, this is a PJ’s on roids. The menu is vast, and deliberate to disrupt typical bar establishments. The menu had my favorites like Stromboli, and a large sushi selection to name a few.

I ended up order the French onion. That’s my go to at pubs, and wow, the fried onion toppings were a great addition. Mel recommended the Cali burger, saying me a 5 hour plane trip to the west coast. The burger was amazing.

I hope this place stays consistent. Will be back again.

We normally visit the other one close by, but decided to try this one today. Like the other one, the service and food were top notch. We ordered a pretzel and cauliflower and both came out in a timely manner. Our drinks were from the draft list and they were both exceptionally cold. I do wish the draft offerings were a bit more diverse (mostly ipas) but we enjoyed them nonetheless. We’d visit again if we are close by.

First experience here, was a little hiccup when we first arrived however, one of the Mangers came by and listened and made sure the rest of my experience was pleasant. All I can say is

Food - A+
Waiter- AMAZING (young man)
