Your favorite thing at Tommy's Joynt?

[Chowsmurf]

I searched the rest of the board and found only general recs for Tommy's. I feel like I always order the "same thing" and sometimes the "wrong thing." (As in, always forget if it's the BBQ beef or the brisquit or the roast beef that comes out too dry...)

Would love to expand my horizons and hear some of the hounds' favorites here.

I love the stuffing. Might not fit all tastes as it can be a bit gooey. I always pair it with the pastrami sandwich.

I went with the braised beef ribs. Which were fantastic. We walked in and there they were, in a meaty glistening pile of meaty meatness! Served with mashers and gravy. I loaded them up with some horseradish sauce. They really hit the spot... And, dinner for two for $20 can't be beat! (I also got a green salad, he a tomato salad.)

Heading there tonight before catching a flic across the street. Any other tips on Tommys?

Uh, you might pick a "light flick" to see as the meal from Tommy's will probably be heavy in a good wintery way. A co-worker friend long ago once described this phenomenon as "a no heavy sauces film", i.e., a heavy meal before will put you to sleep in a dark room and a ponderous film..

I had the turkey plate w/ mashed potatoes during my lunch break from work, and an hour later I was ready for a LONG nap.

Check out the specials. Last time I was there I had oxtail stew, which was reasonably good.

The endless supply of pickles! I'm not a huge fan of the chili but tend to go for the special of the day or a pastrama sandwich. The BF always gets knockwurst and loves the fact that they have Chimay on tap. Great beer list!

Cheap beer, that nose-clearing mustard on the tables, the jug of pickles & pastrami sandwiches.

Beer and bean soup. It sounds bizarre, but is really quite delicious.

I feel like everything at Tommy's is fine. It's beer food, it's meaty, it's fatty, it's greasy. No one dish stands out as better or worse than the others. It just depends what I'm in the mood for.

I like the pastrami sandwich -- with just mustard -- on french roll (they don't have good rye bread.)

Turkey or turkey leg dinner. Lamb shank and buffalo stew on ocassion.

Oxtail and the Lamb Shank have been Tommy's standards for a long time. Also, the corned beef is very down home.
