So it's been a while since hubby and I have been here. They have did some work on the inside, looks good. Doesn't have much seating however. The menu has grown a lot, plenty more food options. Service still good, friendly ladies. Sandwiches still good as well. Enjoyed me a tasty Rueben sandwich and hubby got a Cuban. Have to go back and try some of the new menu items. Great place for lunch or dinner.

We had high hopes, so placed a take away order online for 5 people ($120). The online order said it would be ready in 20-25 mins. Got a text about 12 mins later saying it was ready. Great, except we are still 10 mins away. Our food sat ready for pickup for 10 extra minutes. Got there and added $56 of bakery out the case. Sadly the cannoli were the best part of the nearly $200 order. All the fries, onion rings, tots were cold and soggy. The sandwiches were mostly bread and the fillings that were there were made up of cheap ingredients. We'll never eat from here again.

There are so many selections to choose from depending on what you are looking for. From burgers, pizza, sandwiches and desserts. We chose their Cuban sandwich, Ham/Turkey club sandwich, 10" meat lovers pizza and a mile high cheesecake slice. There are tables/chairs/booth to sit down and eat. We chose to take it out and eat it at home. Service was great and staff were friendly. You do need to wait as everything is made to order besides the cheesecake. You are able to order online and call it in (if I'm not mistaken).

Overpriced! Basic food! The prices are more than a nice dine in restaurants. $20 for a sandwich meal is worth it if the food is amazing but this place is not.

Customer service was excellent they had to remake my tuna melt because they said the first one fell on the floor. I appreciate the honesty. My tuna melt was ok but I felt very nauseous after eating my sandwich. I had to throw away my devil crab because it was not cooked thoroughly & this made me feel sick also. So im one & done!

I happened across The Hot Tomato on a whim while visiting some family in the area. I decided to pick up a sandwich for dinner on the way home, and I wanted to try something local.Although I wasn't sure if they'd have any vegetarian options, The Hot Tomato had a Veggie Cuban available, and I'm a sucker for those! Plus, they had a delicious assortment of cakes to choose from for dessert, so I knew that even if I didn't enjoy the Cuban, I'd still be in for a treat!The real treat was that I loved BOTH the Veggie Cuban and the Mile High Cheesecake that I ordered, and I now have a delicious stop to make any time I'm in Ruskin, FL.

Wow!! Won't be going here again! We have patronized this business since we moved here. It is on a major downhill slide! Tonight I waited over 30 minutes for two SANDWICHES!! I saw several people come in and order pizza way after me that came and went. Even the door dash guy made two trips in and out in the time I stood there waiting! It might have been alright but the two women who were working the front counter NEVER cracked a smile to ANYONE! The older grey haired lady is the WORST! She has been rude every time I've been in there! "What do you want" is the greeting you get! They all stand around with their mouths hanging open (seriously, it's unbelievable!) and gripe at the other employees! They didn't have the two items I wanted. Which is fine but at least change your on-line menu!!! Be nice, SMILE at your customers, act like they pay your wages, and for the love of God! DON'T ASK FOR TIPS!!! I don't tip for bad attitudes, SLOOOOW service, and employees that make you feel like you're bothering them! Do better! You have lost my business and I'm guessing a lot of other peoples business since there was hardly anyone in there!

Meh - stopped here in our travels back to Orlando because they had a little bit of everything so all of us could get what we wanted.I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sub with a side of fries. My sandwich was a lot of bun with not a lot of filling. I had to go back to the food pick-up area as my sandwich had no ranch on it at all. I found it kind of bland with not a lot of substance. The fries were average. My daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs. I tried them when she was done. I felt like it was missing seasoning. It was ok. They did give three good size meatballs - that was the only plus I saw.My wife got the buffalo chicken wrap with a side of tater tots. My wife liked her dish and said that she would get it again.I tried the coleslaw that came with my mother-in-law's cole slaw. We both enjoy a good slaw. This was not it (I spit mine out into a napkin). It was heavily mayonnaised and tasted very acidic. Glad I didn't get that as my side.They were not busy when we came in. Took quite a while to get our food. Took quite a while to get the ranch that was omitted from my sandwich.

I was very disappointed with my food that was received from Hot tomato. First of all, they gave me a chicken Caesar wrap instead of the chicken Caesar salad that I ordered. The fries that were ordered were soggy still and to top it all off, my piece of cake(supposed to be made daily) has mold on it. The service I received today was terrible

The staff were very helpful, as this was my first experience. Ordered the Chicago dog. Wow - it was huge! The only suggestion I have is to put this in a poppy seed bun.
