Tommy Joe's: Reviews & Ratings
I stopped by for cocktails. I wasn't disappointed by the quality of the drinks or discount of happy hour. I wasn't disappointed hurt that burgers were only available as beef. It's 2024 (.99) and we know that diversified dietary needs should be expected. My cocktails were great. Here's to more options in 2025 because I'm very much into the ambiance.
If you are coming to this place YOU MUST ask for your drinks made by JUAN!!! He's the best!! Margaritas 100/10
Great place! Variety ! Good vibes! Unmatchable service! Servers and specially our bartender Juan .... The best !
Fun place and meeting place Great bar with generous pours of beer and wine Nice food Prices for food and drink VERY affordable!
Tommy Joe's was a nice place to grab something to eat middle of the week early evening. Handful of regulars were at the bar engaged with each other and bartender. Bartender took my order and server brought it out soon after. Food was good and the burger was juicy with melted cheese just the way I ordered it. Tommy Joe's seems like a local bar with basic good food that is not overpriced. I'll stop again for food or quick drink when in the neighborhood.
Ordered through DoorDash to my hotel which was close by. My food was ready right on time, and delivered to me shortly after. I got the California chicken sandwich I think it was called, and it was really good. The tater tots were crispy and delicious, even being ordered to go and delivered. I really enjoyed their homemade ranch, but I can't speak to the ambience of the restaurant since I dined in the hotel. It looks like it's a local bar and grill, which would be someplace I would enjoy dining in on a different visit.
Great dive bar with live music and surprisingly decent food - get the pretzel sticks! We enjoyed the live band performance on Friday night and there was no cover charge. The pretzel sticks were pipping hot and tasty with housemate beer cheese and honey mustard that I requested. Hubby got the chicken tenders that came with waffle fries (the waffle fries were tepid and brittle). There's an outdoor smoking area connected to the bar with a lingering smoke smell inside the bar. Whiskey and Ginger beer drink was standard. The DJ played a bunch of 80's and 90's hits with people in their 40's and 50's dancing the night away! There's also a pool table. While the vibe didn't quite fit us, we had a good time and a fun night out.
Tommy Joes is the bar you go to when you want a nice casual vibe. The staff is friendly, the drinks are delicious and on Monday nights there's live music I think 7-1030p. Tommy Joe is also the name of one of the bartenders there and he's great!
