Tommy's Restaurant — Restaurant in Weaverville

We have been going here for years, today was likely the last time. My daughter ordered water, the server ask if she wanted lemon, she said no thank you. It came with lemon anyway, no big deal. I ordered diet coke, she brought sprite. My husband had sweet tea.I had to send the diet coke back for water as it was flat. She said she would remove it from the check, I had to ask her to remove it right before we paid. We ordered 2 cheeseburger deluxe, which means lettuce, tomato and onion, they were fine. We also ordered 1 side of onion rings, they were greasy. The 3 of us shared these food items. We also ordered 2 side salads. These were mostly ice burg lettuce with 2 tomato wedges, 1 tiny slice of cucumbers and 2 rings of white onion. No cheese, no carrots and no croutons. We learned when we received the check that these were $7.50 each! Our bad for not looking at the menu. All in all, the food was just ok except those salads. 2 cheeseburger deluxe, one with onion rings, 2 waters, a sweet tea and those salads was $42.60!!! What? The three of us can eat at Texas Roadhouse, 2 6 oz. Sirloin's each with a side and a nice salad that has cheese, carrots, egg and croutons, and the kids mini burgers with fries and a side ceasar salad for less than what we paid at Tommys!

Like I said we likely won't...

The good- Service was great. They were very busy. My waitress was friendly and stayed on top of my coffee. The food came out quickly. It was also large portions

The bad- The food was ok. It didn't taste bad but it wasn't remarkable either. The pancakes were large but we're just kind of there! The flavor didn't inspire any great need to make this my go to place. I emphasis that they were not bad but not good enough to make it to a 5 star.

The ugly- parking there was a nightmare not enough room and felt very crowded getting in.

Overall- This place was packed they have a definite base. It's understandable why. The service is above par The food was on par while parking was sub par. I will definitely return the food is a good value and it is a lovely place. I encourage you to check them out.

Edit- went a second time, the fried pickles were the best I've ever had. The Seafood platter had a lot of food and like the pancakes above it was good but nothing to write home about. My wife's burger was huge flavor again average. Good solid place to get food that is not going to be bad. Except the pickles they were amazing. I would raise to a 4.3 because if the pickles of it...

So, when you ask people about Tommy's something you will pick up on is nostalgia, which this place exudes. It's dated from top to bottom. I don't recall what I ordered the one time I ate there because the food was retirement home quality and flavor level. But I do recall dirty silverware and plates, over and over, after asking for a replacement, which makes sense seeing there dishwasher was broken on the most recent health inspection, which means it's been broken a loooooong time because my visit was at least 3 years ago. After reading the actual health inspection recently, this place needs to go on Kitchen Nightmares. I will never eat here again because for some of things they failed, it's not something that should be forced on a restaurant, it was real common sense things and shows a real "gave up" attitude. Their going to milk this diseased cow for all it's worth but I will never eat...
