5 /5 Scotticus B: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10 out of 5 stars if that were possible!)
It’s been years since our last visit to Big Tommy’s and I’m mad at myself for waiting so long to come back. This place is a gem.
Our server, Non-Greek Nick (though he could easily pass as Greek any day of the week), was nothing short of phenomenal. Polite, attentive, quick with a smile, and completely unfazed by special requests. Zeus himself would’ve welcomed Nick into Olympus after this service.
The food? Out of this world. Hot, fresh, and absolutely bursting with flavor. And the dessert… that baklava gelato must have been crafted by Dionysus himself.
I ordered the Macaronada (Greek pasta with burnt butter and Mizithra cheese) but asked if lamb could be added. Without hesitation, Nick checked with the owner and came back with the most refreshing answer: “He’d be happy to add that, would you like one or two lamb shoulders?” That’s not just service, that’s hospitality at its finest. The lamb shoulder was enormous (double the size of what my photo shows, I couldn’t resist diving in before snapping a picture). And the pairing? Divine.
The atmosphere is upscale, spotless, and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you can bring family, linger over your meal, and actually feel like you’ve been welcomed into the family.
Tommy - do us all a favor and just make it official. Add the lamb shoulder option to the Macaronada and call it “The Scotticus.”
