These things aren't Tommy's.

There is no equivalent to Tommy's that I've found in 5 years of searching.

I disagree. I'd driven by them a million times and they'd always interested me. Looked like the kind of place you could get a really good, but simple burger.

I stopped in once last year and was completely underwhelmed. The burger was small and didn't have much flavor. I won't be going back.
