The Smith family opened up the first Tommy's 25 years ago. They are a Fort Worth tradition and have a nice collection of family recipes they use. They have won several awards and make many people's Top 10 lists for burgers. We have been to this place before, but now it was time to put them to the test.

The burger is served wrapped in a basket. It's a true 1/2lb burger and its served with your choice of fries, tots or okra which was a nice "Texas" menu surprise. Rarely can you find more than just fries, but this place has okra and even more if you wanted to "upgrade."  The fries, however, were cold and not that tasty in the crinkle cut variety.

Burger has great flavor. Definitely lots of grease, not as bad as others, but juicy none the less. Buns were okay, would have liked something more inspiring. Basic cheeseburger comes with mustard, onion, tomato, pickle and lettuce. Options for mushrooms, bacon, guacamole and jalapenos.

The menu would best be described as Texas-bar food. Lots of choices if you like fried. Sort of the "state fair" burger joint in Fort Worth. There are several good burger combinations so you can try different ones each time you visit.

We visited the Green Oaks location on the West Side of Fort Worth. This is an open kitchen concept - and one of their specialties is fried catfish. So we recommend ordering to go. We left the place both times with strong smelling clothes and had to change. (Feel bad for those who work there.) Besides the atmosphere is non-existent anyway.
