Tommys Burgers + Brews — Restaurant in Fort Worth

TLDR: Great food and I recommend.

Right out of the box, the waitress (Tori), saved me from ordering a crafted cider I wouldn't drink. I wanted something different so I just named one and she said, "Sample it first. It's pretty sweet." All I can say is, "Thank you, Tori!" I ended up with a Karbachtoberfest. It was great. The pineapple cider does not get my recommendation unless you love fruit juice.

FOOD Fries cooked perfectly. I needed to add salt but that's how it should be. If I didn't they'd be too salty for most. And they are obviously cooked when ordered. Give them a minute to cool.

The burger was juicy enough to be a greasy burger but not so much that it was nasty to eat. You will need the paper towels though. It was well-seasoned and the purple onions were great.

Free cake. For reals. The day I was there it was German Chocolate. It was, satisfactory. Being my favorite cake means I'm a little harder on that cake type though.

DRINK 24 taps. 6 were brands that would be nationally recognized. The other 18 were mostly local crafted Brews from the metroplex and Texas.

I had the Karbachtoberfest mentioned above and another Karbach, Love Streets. Both were great.

ATMOSPHERE As I walked up I noticed a chalkboard sandwichboard sitting on the sidewalk with a food related quiz of the day on it. I didn't notice the lady sitting on the sidewalk behind it drawing on the other side. She noticed me and asked me if I knew the answer. I did.

It was a bit loud as they were crowded. Conversations and laughter filled the room. It's definitely a place to go with friends.

Tori obviously loves working there. I heard her tell the owner she was the best boss ever. The boss was the same lady sitting on the sidewalk in the heat when I walked up. Tori also told me a biti about the history of the place and their different locations.

I spent a little bit in there but one could get out for under $20 if you stayed away from the beers.

I definitely give this place a...

I don't get it. Sometimes I see good reviews of a place then go and try it and just wonder if the people giving good reviews know what good food is or just give a good review because they don't really care. Or maybe the place is just having a bad day, I get that too. But in this case I see a place averaging about a 4.7 on Google and just don't understand. So I'm new to the area, new to Texas in fact so I like to try new places and see what's good and where I'd like to eat or take family when they come down. I live out near where Tommy's is located so thought I'd give it a try based on the reviews and sorry to say but I'm nothing but disappointed. I typically just try a basic plain burger, nothing fancy because I want to taste the burger before I taste everything else they put on it to make it taste better. So I had just a burger with bacon and mustard, that's it. And it was bland. Nothing special... in fact pretty much the opposite. My wife had the Blue Angel because everyone raved on it and she said it was very basic and nothing but average at best, nothing she'd ever want to go back and get. Unfortunately as bland as the burgers were the fries were even worse. Just bland, little to no seasoning and no taste at all... which is basically what the burgers were. So if you're in the area and you want a basic, bland burger that you could get at any fast food place.... try this place I guess. But if you're looking for a good burger, I'm afraid I just didn't...

Holy Moly! Best kept secret for 37 years in the ‘Dub! We must’ve passed this place 1000 times, and we either always previously eaten, or said “we should check this place out“ and then we’d forget about it. FINALLY, on a Sunday afternoon, we found our way there. And we instantly regretted having not gone in sooner! Great, cheerful staff welcomed us in. Cozy little place with a small bar area, dining area, patio that has 6 large picnic tables seating up to 6 people each. Menu: 24 beers on tap, including local & craft. Expect some of the usuals that beer-joints have: burgers, sandwiches, fish, chicken…and some unique to this Funky Town gem. Like Frog Fries (TCU theme), B-52 burger (place is located across from the JRB-Joint Reserve Base for you non-locals/military) & the Junkyard burger…My husband ordered the B-52 (double burger) w/bacon & cheese. I ordered the catfish basket. Imagine our surprise when our food was brought out (rather quickly) & the burger so big (“Hey, Sam, look how big my mouth is!), so delicious, he couldn’t finish it! I, on the other hand, enjoyed all (go ahead & judge me!) of the 3 strips of catfish, homemade tarter sauce, fresh skinny-cut southern-style fries (w/skin), & 3 hush puppies (I had already dug in before I thought about taking pictures to share!). After writing this review, I was not surprised when I looked it up and they have almost 740 reviews & a 4.7 rating. Yeah,...
