There is a new sheriff in town. Tommy's bbq has finally opened in Hercules California. They have graduated from pop-ups to a real brick and mortar establishment. We are happy because it is one town over from ours. We have been there twice and wanted to share a couple of images and thoughts.
We will cut to the chase and start from the end. We like Tommy's. There are some hit and misses and it is not competition bbq. We do not expect competition. This is a clean, modern and friendly restaurant. The proportions are very generous. The side dishes are decent. We plan to return.
Pictured above is the pulled pork that Ms. Goofy ordered. This was a miss. It was a huge serving but it just had an off unidentifiable flavor. It had a lot of smoke but just had a wang dang weird flavor. This had us scratching our heads. Ms. Goofy did love the mac & cheese and ordered a double order on her second visit.
My favorite was the brisket. It was moist, smokey and tender. Judging brisket all the time you learn to appreciate a well cooked brisket and this is an award winner. I had a cheese/jalapeno sausage that was cheesy good. The ribs are decent and were enjoyed. Tommy's offers a hot & mild bbq sauce that we always ask for it on the side. The hot will not punish you and is my favorite. If you get a chance, give Tommy's a try.
