Love it but...
My wife and I have gone to Tommy Ryan's for a number of years. The food is decent, the portions are more than enough and if it is a bit pricey, it should be remembered that it is in a tourist area.
Our last visit was a bit disturbing. For the first time we were asked, "Smoking or non-smoking?" We were led to the non-smoking section, which was the smaller, and less thematically atmospheric part of the restaurant. Amusingly, when we left I counted 7 of 9 tables being used in the non-smokers' section and 3 of 15 or so tables being used in the smokers' section.
I suggest that the management check the restaurants of neighboring Erie County where the smoking vs. non-smoking issue has been in full swing for a number of years. There are fewer smokers' tables without exception.
Although many other areas of the world have not caught on to the health related issues of smoking, there still seems to be fewer smokers than non-smokers in this tourist area.    [09 Aug 2002 10:20:14]

A Rockin' Good Time
Tommy Ryan's had the perfect rock and roll atmosphere. Granted the prices weren't great, but we took into consideration that it is a tourist area and we didn't mind. The servers were very friendly and made our stay wonderful. The food ranged from burgers to pasta and hotdogs to fish fry. There's a wide variety to choose from. If you want to take a stroll down memory lane, this is the place to go!!!    [16 Nov 2005 17:44:16]
