If you’re anything like me, then you can agree that when you want a burger, you want a good one. The main problem with getting a good burger out in the wild is simply… there aren’t many good places to do so. However this particular burger joint chain fits the bill for a good burger. Or two. Maybe four. In the Rochester NY area, you may find an 80’s diner-style building at one site or you may find a modern restaurant-style building at another, however the interior will always be the same. We went to their place in Pittsford and were pleasantly surprised by how great it was.
The atmosphere is very enthralling and pleasingly vintage; to the point that they were play what was essentially the official ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1’ music playlist. Tom Wahl’s is best known for its steak burger and its root beer, neither of which I tried. I instead went for their mushroom swiss burger, which is by far my favorite kind of burger, and a side of their fries. The rest of the crew on the other hand did indeed try the steak burger and I was told it was excellent.
Another thing that should be said is that our order, which was admittedly a rather big order, came in record time; AND there is free refills with an assortment of sodas, juice and teas to keep the kiddos busy mixing and matching until they find their favorite concoction.
All in all, Tom’s is great burger joint at relatively cheap prices, with a very set-in-stone aesthetic that is rarely replicated in burger joints anymore. Therefore, if you’re in the Rochester area and catch Tommy’s logo out of the corner of your eye, do yourself a favor and give it a go.
