I had the great fortune of being able to go to Alaska for a friends wedding. During my time in Alaska I had a lot of great food but, at the end of the day there is something about a great burger that really satisfies!
Tommy's Burger Shop is exactly that - a darn good burger!
Tommy's is a small and very eclectic burger joint, the staff is very attentive even though they are (from what I could tell) really busy all the time. My Dad and I were simply in the mood for some regular cheese burgers but, after looking over the menu we we're both astonished to see that they had a Cajun Style Fired Shrimp Po-Boy which we could not turn down. We both settled on 2 Burger Stop Burgers and a Shrimp-Po Boy for desert. Once we ordered, and since we had no place to be we went out to the small patio and sat down awaiting our meals. To say we were ready to eat is a huge understatement at this point.
First and foremost the pictures you see online do not do this burger justice, it is a massive patty and the Lettuce, Tomato, Onions and Pickles were extremely fresh. The burger itself was seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly. It can be hard to "rave" about a burger but- this one here deserves the hype. After scarfing down the burgers we turned our eyes to the Po-Boy... Knowing full well that there was no way in heck we would finish the whole thing, we split one of the half's down the middle and had at it. The flavor of the Po-Boy was spot on - there was a perfect crunch from the well prepared shrimp and and paired with the Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, and Fresh Lemon made it well worth every second (even though we barley could move from our seats). Needless to say, we kept the other half for later.
So at the end of my sermon here, I just wanted you to know that Tommy's is a fantastic spot for a burger and I imagine if you had one of their specialties it would be amazing. So if you are in the area do yourself a solid, and stop on by!
And, Tommy's keep doing your thing - it is just splendid!
