  I brought my family to Tommy's and it was every bit as awesome as I hoped it would be.
  
  First, as busy as they were, we were seated right away.
  Walking in, you can't help but notice how beautiful the place is.  String lights hang from the ceiling, the bar in front is large with huge TVs all around it.
  The place was very busy, yet the staff handled it with a well oiled machine-like efficiency.
  Our server was awesome (Eric) and the food was top notch.
  We ordered the Super Yellowtail Roll and the Jersey Clam Pie.
  
  The sushi was incredible, and super fresh.
  We loved every bite - we only wished there was more.
  We will definitely try more sushi next time we come here (and we WILL come back).
  The Clam pizza was absolutely delicious.  The crust was thin, light and crispy, and the spicy Italian sausage had the perfect spicy kick.
  The green onions brought out a nice depth of flavor that went well with the ingredients.
  The only thing I would change/upgrade about the Clam pizza is - the clams themselves were so small - I wish there were larger pieces of clams as the sausage seemed to take center stage as far as the flavors went.
  Not complaining though - the pizza was excellent - I just feel it would have been PERFECT if it had more clam flavor.
  
  Besides the beautiful interior, there's also an amazing outdoor patio on the river, and it's perfect for groups and families with kids.
  They have beanbag Cornhole games set up so plenty of kids were having a blast playing while their parents enjoyed a few drinks.
  Everyone was having a nice, chill time there and I feel like the patio area must be awesome when the weather is slightly cooler in the early fall (it was 82 degrees when we were there - though it cooled to the mid to high 70s by the time we stepped out onto the patio).
  
  I honestly can't recommend Tommy's Tavern + Tap highly enough.  Based on our experience here, I really have to question any reviews lower than 5 stars.
  If I could, I'd give them a 10.
  This has become one of our favorite places by the shore and I can't wait to go back.

  Figured we stop in to see what all the hype was.....couple of things we noted:
  
  Date: Monday, 5pm - Labor Day
  
  1.  Place is definitely jumping, and very busy.
  2.  Despite being busy, the wait was only 10-15 minutes.
  3.  Hostess was busy on seating iPad and not greeting customers. Also not friendly - strike one
  4.  It is a humid day and AC is way too high. I was freezing - strike 2
  5.  Ordered a burger, medium well. Came medium rare - strike three
  
  Started with avocado dip and fries. The dip was really bland.
  
  Service was not great, but to be fair, how could it be? They are packed and clearly understaffed.
  
  Descent for dinner, kid friendly, but totally underwhelming.

  I moved away from the area over 10 years ago and stumbled into tommys on a recent visit back to the area.
  
  what a great addition to sea bright. a big bar area and an extensive selection of food. something for everyone! the only negative is that it is way too popular and waits can be long.

  Ok so we are ready to update! We went tonight on a Saturday night and it was packed. We found a place at the bar and our bartender could not have been nicer. She was friendly and quick and didn't seem at all flustered with the chaos of the crowd. I had a fantastic pineapple jalapeno margarita and it was fab ($12). M had a pineapple express drink and enjoyed it ($10).
  
  I had the spicy shrimp poke bowl. While it wasn't spicy at all, it was still delicious and filling. They didn't skimp on the shrimp or avocado which was great. M ordered a blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich and also really enjoyed that. Overall the food was great! We had some local beers for $7. It's a little pricy outside of happy hour.
  
  After paying the tab, we walked out back and saw the ginormous patio/outdoor area. We didn't even know this existed! There were lounge areas, tables, and corn hole games. Your view is right on the river. I can't wait to come back during the week for happy hour and sit out there watching the boats go back and forth on the water. Tommy's has redeemed itself and we look forward to returning.
