Entrance to Tommy’s on Keren Hakayemet St.

Ambiance

Tommy’s is a fast food restaurant. They say so themselves when their menu describes their food as “Sophisticated Street Food.” Their seating area is a semi-enclosed area just off the sidewalk. They have four tables which seat from 3-6 people each and there is also a raised counter off to the side with bar stools for four people. 

Small semi-enclosed dining area

A lot of Tommy’s business comes from phone-in orders and take-away as I saw them receiving lots of orders as I stood at the counter.

The restaurant is located in a quiet section of Rechavia on Keren Hakayemet St. and so there isn’t a lot of traffic noise. Parking is residential.

Cuisine

The food at Tommy’s is definitely pretty good for its category – kosher mehadrin fast food. 

They have some very tasty appetizers like the “Buffalo” chicken wings (21 NIS) and the crispy fried chicken nuggets (32 NIS) among others.

Crispy chicken salad

I ordered the 300 gram Classic Hamburger (36 NIS) with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and red onions. All in all, it was quite tasty. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables that they put both above and below the meat patty accented the meat really well. I want to note that the meat in this burger seems to be mixed with other ingredients, but they do have a Steak Burger which looks to be pure beef.

The fries that I ordered on the side were very mediocre. 

My friend also ordered the Classic Hamburger as a meal with onion rings (55 NIS). Meals are served with one side dish (fries, onion rings or a small salad) and lemonade.

Tommy’s offers salads with your choice of meat: grilled or crispy chicken or sliced steak. The grilled chicken salad (36 NIS) comes with a bed of lettuce, fresh vegetables and sweet pecans and there are a variety of salad dressings you can choose from.

The crispy chicken salad comes with lettuce, fresh vegetables, and sweet potatoes. The chicken comes in the form of fried, crispy chicken nuggets (36 NIS).

Salad fixings

Tommy’s menu has several different types of sandwiches including marinated chicken breast, steak, crispy chicken and even a vegetarian sandwich with grilled tofu, red pepper coullie (sauce) and fresh vegetables. You can choose to have your sandwich made with either a French sourdough baguette or in a wrap.

Service

When I arrived at Tommy’s at around 7:30PM on a Thursday night, the staff was overwhelmed with orders. They were filling many call-in orders as well as trying to field orders from the counter. They were obviously understaffed for such peak hours. We had to wait around 15 minutes to make our order and then it took about 10 minutes for our order to be prepared.

Ordering counter during rush hour

After we received our meals, I could see that the onslaught of orders let up. I saw that the majority of the customers during that peak hour were yeshiva students. There must be an English-speaking yeshiva in the area and Thursday night must be the time they go out for hamburgers. Take that into consideration when you decide when to come to Tommy’s, particularly if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands.

The grill in action

To sum it up, the food at Tommy’s is good and the ambiance is pleasant but informal.
