Super clean inside with a great sports bar feel. The nachos are perfectly crispy and loaded. The serving is absolutely huge and it’s a great price.
Noisy but bc it's a sport bar type place. Food is excellent. I've had super fries and super nachos here. I love the put whatever you want build your item style here. It is AMAZING!! Loveee it!!
I eat here all the time. Food is good. Last week I ordered the soft taco plate and it came with chips. Today, same order, but took my order to go. I asked for the chips and was told its an extra cost. So let me understand this. Just because I don't eat in the establishment I don't get the chips?. Be better Tom's, for $.50 worth of chips? Unacceptable
I truly love the food here — it’s always incredible, and that’s the reason we keep coming back. However, the customer service has been very inconsistent. In the past, some of the staff have had an attitude and haven’t been very friendly, which often makes us feel unwelcome. That said, during our most recent visit, we had a completely different experience thanks to Teresa. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and truly understands what great customer service looks like. Her attitude made a big difference, and I wish everyone had the same approach as she does. If the service were consistently like Teresa’s, we would come even more often. Great food plus great service makes all the difference.
Awesome place with great food, quantity, and pricing. This is also the only spot I e been to that lets me build my own super fries which just made them that much better. Good tasted great, quality was great, and staff was friendly. Only downside i have with this place is their guac, I don't know if it's fresh but it sure doesn't seem like it.
