2nd and final time here.Wasn't a fan the first time, but was talked into giving it another try.My mistake apparently. 4:30 on a Monday, 0 customers in the restaurant, we are told to take a seat wherever we like, so we sit at the bar.The gentleman behind the bar decides to leave and focus on dusting.That's all fine I guess....clean is good, after all! 15 minutes later we are still sitting there with no menu, no drinks, no bartender and no staff in sight......so we did what any sensible individuals would do.....we took our business elsewhere. If it was busy we'd understand, but we were literally the only 2 people in the restaurant.
Decided to stop here to get my Chicago food fix.Left pretty disappointed.$6 for a Chicago dog (for comparison, Portillo’s charges $4), and it wasn’t even made correctly.Bun wasn’t steamed, comically small pickle spear, and for some reason, cucumbers? If you’re looking for authentic and reasonably priced Chicago food, I’d look elsewhere.
Did carry out on a lb of pulled pork that had no smoked flavor whatsoever.Was just grey stewed meat.Worst pulled pork I have ever tasted and we have eaten at Tom's many times over the years.Burnt ends were rubbery tough but at least had seasoning on them.Very disappointing.
