I discovered Tommy's about 10 years ago, but haven’t gotten back in quite some time, although one visit reminded me why I’ve always considered this one of the best burgers in the Metroplex!
Every great burger has to start with a great beef patty, and that’s Tommy’s strength! A thick, we’ll grilled, well-seasoned ½ pound patty is what this burger is all about. On my recent visit, I went with the Jalapeno Cheddar Burger – hold the Tomato, and it was popping with flavor. That said, I think the best way to have this burger may be the traditional, old-school, mustard-onion-pickle and go no further. That way you can best appreciate the star of the show that’s underneath it all.
Still, there are plenty of good dressed-up burgers, if that’s to your liking. My top recommendations along with the Jalapeno Cheddar are the Blue Angel (blue cheese and bacon) and the Green Chili Goat Cheese, and there’s also Catfish and the Bunless Burger Salad for those that are vegetarian or gluten-free.
The Fries are a good compliment, but not outdone by equally tasty Onion Rings. If you want to kick-it-up, go for the Frog Fries, which are Fries covered in Cheese and Grilled Onions and Jalapeno. They also offer Tater Tots, Fried Okra, Corn Nuggets, Fried Zucchini and Cheddar Poppers both as an appetizer, or side (some for an upcharge).
Tommy’s now has 3 locations in Fort Worth, but make your first visit to the original location on Camp Bowie which, although they have expanded, still has the homey, small burger joint vibe.I discovered Tommy’s about 10 years ago, but haven’t gotten back in quite some time, but one visit reminded me why I’ve always considered this one of the best burgers in the Metroplex!
