Tommy's has been on Coventry for as long as I can remember. They used to have a dingy space with a rather scary back room, but the current space is beautiful - all blonde wood and open space.
The milkshakes are legendary. I don't know what's in them, and I don't care. Perfect dessert after you've eaten something relatively healthy for your meal. They've also got egg creams to die for.
I'm partial to the pita sandwiches - the Quigly is my favorite. Tommy's can make what's essentially grilled cheese into something worth craving.
Usually busy, you will often wait for a table. The sign up sheet method seems to work pretty well, though I'm always worried they'll forget about me. Great for carry out food too.
A Coventry institution - if you find yourself in this neighborhood, you simply must eat at Tommy's. Prices are more than reasonable as well.
