Had for the first time and had the Brisket sandwich. It was ok. They brisket in my opinion was not cooked long enough. It was very stringy and if brisket is cooked correctly it should easily pull apart. It’s tasted ok. The rub they use is not super flavorful and just the texture of the meat for brisket is not what it should have been. I may give it another shot but probably not anytime soon.

Amazing BBQ! I’ve had most BBQ places around and this place is sooo good! Just yesterday I ordered 6 pounds of meat for a bday party and they had it ready in no time. If you haven’t eaten here… do it!

Took the family to BBQ and they all loved the food. We bought a family combo dinner that included three choices of meat(we chose pulled pork, smoked chicken with bone –in, and for 3 $ extra we had brisket), 6 dinner rolls, and 2 large sides(we chose the mashed potatoes and gravy for both sides). We also ordered a ½ slab of ribs. We all agreed that the pulled pork was are favorite. However, the other meats were also good. Our only complaint was based on our experience we had taking the order«to go.» The gravy was placed directly on the mashed potatoes, which was okay, but some people in our party did not like gravy. Also, the BBQ sauces were hot and the containers were placed on top of the plastic lids for our sides and melted through into our mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes, when eaten without gravy, were dry. Otherwise, we had a great visit and do plan to be back.

Tried the pulled pork. Not good couldn’t finish my sandwich and I am a fan of pulled pork! It tasted like it was boiled meat, not BBQ. The BBQ sauce was the best part and the waitress was friendly and helpful. Won’t be coming back here. Sorry I tried it. Nothing wrong with corn on the cob but how can you make that bad?

Dry brisket, good fries, not much else. Bbq sauce had a metallic taste. Service was great, ambiance was nice.

It was okay, there meat was the best thing but the sides aren’t good and there fried zucchini needed to be smaller

Below average! I was not impressed, and did not care for their food. My husband and I recently moved to the area and have been hoping to try Tom’s BBQ for a while. We placed an order for pick-up. We live just down the road. We ordered a sampler meal that came with BBQ ribs, hot links, pulled pork, beef brisket and BBQ Chicken(whole thigh and a leg) as well as three sides. For our sides we chose green beans, coleslaw, bbq beans. On a positive note I will say that I liked the meat on the ribs. However I did not care for the small bones I found on the excess rib meat, I used my fingers to pull them out and eat the shreds of edible meat. Poor butchering in my opinion. Secondly, the pulled pork was stringy, the texture was like hair meat! No actual substance or chucks to the pork, this says low quality pork or just over cooking. The chicken had little edible meat on it, and beef brisket was passable albeit average, I didn’t try to hot links, and the BBQ beans were tasty but not the best I’ve had. I really don’t understand how a place with so many good reviews can serve food like this? Am I just one of the un-lucky ones??? Sad to say it will be some time before we go back, if ever. Many of the other reviewers like the fish. I would try that but I’ll never convince my husband to go back for that, he dislikes fish with a passion.

I have passed this place a lot and finally decided to stop in for some BBQ. Our over all experience was ok. Our waitress was very nice but the food was not the best. I had pulled pork and my friend had the ribs and we both had Mac and cheese sides. The pulled pork sandwich Was not very warm and it was so greasy that my bun was completely soggy. My friend liked her ribs but she wishes she asked to have bbq sauce on them. The Mac and cheese was not very good and was will a little on the cold side and also a little soggy. I don’t know if I would come back. But I am about second chances.

I was craving some good fish and chips last night so my husband suggested this place(his co worker goes to a different location and said this place was delicious). I am not one to give just 1 star normally but the food was horrible. The fried pickles were a joke. They are super thin slices covered in globs of oil soaked batter. The fries were soggy and the fish was bland and soggy. The sauces they gave tasted weird and they forgot to give us the mac and cheese we ordered. I think that was a good thing though. We threw everything away after a couple of bites. Such a waste of money since it was so pricey. Never again.

This place is great. Anything BBQ from this place is amazing. Meat is soft and tender and the sauce is just perfectly sweet. We ordered the BBQ platter, pulled pork sandwich, fish and chips, and 3 drinks for about 40 dollars. Which isn’t too bad because the food quantity is a lot! The fish and chips from here isn’t too bad, it’s a lil bit on the salty side but I ain’t complaining. Will definitely come again!

Wow! What an amazing atmosphere! Not only did i walk in and get a hand shake from the the owner Rick and his amazing manager Victor but the lovely tender of the bar had my drink order ready before i even sat down. I traversed an awestrikingly clean establishment with an open dining area and made my way to an impressive patio area. Every single table had a private heater along with other standing heatin units for the whole. The, large impressively sharp televisions, were well placed. Well done my friends. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Not the BESTBBQ I’ve ever had but pretty good! Its conveniently located right across the street from my work so its a good, quick lunch. Got the pulled pork sandwich and it was yummy, the bread its sort of different, its like buttery? I wish I was hungry enough to try some of the sides! Will update this review when I go back & try some.

Great food. Fast service what more could you want?! Awesome BBQ for the area. I just wish the restaurant was a little bit bigger. And they don’t have sweet tea for a BBQ joint which is very odd in my eyes.

I would have gave them a 5 star but the bread was dry. I ordered the 2 meat dinner with a hot link, chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese. It was yummy.

This place is way overpriced for what it is, but the food is always decent when we go. The Server was sweet and the restaurant was clean. The pulled pork was soggy, but it wasn’t bad tasting, just not the most fresh pulled pork I’ve ever had. If you’re going to eat here, do it at lunch when they’re a little bit cheaper.

This is the nicest Tom’s BBQ out of all the locations I’ve been to. It’s quite spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating. Ordering was easy at the counter, and the cashier was very friendly and engaging. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich combo with chili. It was made in lightning fast time– very nice! Sodas are self serve at the fountain, with iced tea as well. The sandwich was a hearty portion of tender pork, coleslaw, and bbq sauce. With the hot and spicy chili, I was definitely full for lunch. Definitely a good place for bbq if you are in the area!

We ate at Toms BBQ last night. I’ve been here before. The food is delicious. I used to live near the owners and they always sponsored our neighborhood BBQ. So something suspicious happened here last night, that I have only seen on the TV show Restaurant Stakeout and this is it, I went to the ladies restroom and when I threw away the paper towel there were some guest checks used to take orders in the trashcan. It looked like some orders were thrown away. Anyway this did not seem normal to me. I went into detective mode and took a picture of them with my cell phone. Plus I kept them. I hope no employees are stealing from Tom. Business is hard enough as it is without stuff like this going on.
