Tom's Carry Out

Bad gyros.

Please don't serve me meat that has been sitting on the spit for who the hell knows how long. It's hard. It's tough. I can see it. It's dark brown and spitting oil. (Mind you, it's only 2 in the afternoon.) Hey, I like grease, but i don't like overcooked meat, because it's HARD and TOUGH and it takes a hell of a lot of sauce to make up for it. And I already paid for extra sauce. And it really didn't help because I threw half of this crap away. So overall, I feel ripped off.

I can't see a reason to return....as you know if you read my reviews, I look for the good, somewhere. Ok..it looked clean in there.  And the cashier was nice. If video gambling machines are your thing, they've got them. Otherwise, no thanks.

This has got to be one of my favorite places to go if I am looking for typical greasy, chicago style food! The gyros is to DIE for! THE BEST! Hot dogs, polish, steak sandwiches also VERY good! The absolute best thing here is the fries! Every other place I go to I always compare how good they are compared to Toms.

Tom's has been a staple to satisfying the craving for grease in this neighborhood for over 30 years. It actually used to be located on the east side of Harlem prior to the fruit market getting expanded.
   This place is the go to for a gyros. I have never had a better one, mainly because they brown the meat further before they put it on the pita with the yogurt sauce. It all melds together with the fresh onion and tomato slice.
 The fries here are also delicious. The skin is left on and the are heavily salted to go perfectly with whatever you order off the menu. Gyros, burgers, or even hot dogs all well prepared at a good price.
This is not the type of place you will come and dine to impress you girlfriend's parents, but it's a great place to go when you would like to eat a not so healthy meal that did not come out of a major drive through.
