When you step into this place you are transported back in time. Back to a time where they carve meet right in your face and ask you if you want gravy on top of it. That's a dumb question (with all due respect) of course I want gravy. Tommy's is like if thanksgiving was a restaurant. Except if it was all good and your Aunt Willis didn't bring terrible potato salad and you didn't have to pretend you liked dry turkey. Tommy's Serves up hefty portions at a reasonable price. This is a no frills situation. What you see is what you get. It's classic American food. It's salty and delicious. I got the BBQ beef, baked beans, stuffing and a corned beef sandwich. There was no pastrami that day and I would have caused a scene if not for the corned beef. Make sure you add sauerkraut and mustard/mayo. Very good sandwich. The BBQ was good. Some of it was a little dry but make sure you got a little BBQ sauce for the top and bottom of that portion. Stuffing was fantastic and the beans were beans. Overall Tommy's is legendary and it's timeless. Like literally I doubt the insides of that place have changed in 40 years. It's a cool dive my type bar as well. It's a little treasure that's hidden in plain site on one of the busiest streets in SF. Tommy, you keep doing you. Never change. (4.5 Stars)

Just landed in San Francisco and popped into Tommy's Joynt before they close at midnight. Absolutely delicious sandwich. The combination of mustard, brisket, and hot barbecue sauce is incredible. The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is great with a really cool aesthetic. Will definitely be coming back here soon.

Classic spot. Giving old school vibes. Beef brisket, with a side of mashed potatos, salad, and a dinner roll. The food was good, portion sizes were pretty big for the price point!!! Good customer service I didn't find the menu hard to navigate- pretty typical for a BBQ spot. A local recommended so we thought we'd give it a try, so glad we did!

I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. My fiance and I shared 2 plates, spaghetti and meatballs, which are all beef, as well as the lean brisket plate with mashed potatoes and baked beans. Both entrees come with a sourdough dinner roll. I was blown away by how delicious everything was. The meatballs were decently sized and broke apart very easily, the spaghetti was not mushy and was cooked perfectly, which is something that I often struggle to find when dining out for spaghetti. They cut the brisket in front of you and slice it very thin, coating it all in barbecue. The inside is dark with very low lights. There are 2 service sides, one for food and one for the bar. All the staff was very friendly and engaged with all the customers. I will be honest I was not expecting to like this place, but ended up loving it. The vibe is very cozy with hot homestyle meals.

Tommy's is an SF icon. We were lucky enough to find free street parking on a late Sunday afternoon. Area is not the best, so if you are a tourist definitely remember to not leave any valuables in your car. The decor is a vibe in and off itself. Nostalgia everywhere! Service was super friendly and helpful- meats are carved to order & the sides are always solid. Don't forget to get the complimentary pickles out of the huge pickle jar when you're paying at the counter! I live for places like Tommy's that have been around forever, yet haven't steered from the standards that gave given their restaurant longevity. If you're in the downtown SF area, definitely stop in!
