I've been sporadically seeing Tom Sawyer chicken on my social networking feeds lately. I told my hubby about it and he told us we just had to go eat there ASAP (and that meant Dec. 25, Christmas Day).
I remember Tom Sawyer Chicken in Greenhills before. It was located in the vicinity of Unimart. It was a small place which I recall was dark brown all over. But that was all I could remember... the place. I honestly don't remember the food. My hubby, who used to live in San Juan, was a lot more familiar with the food and the place. He had a lot of good memories about Tom Sawyer chicken which prompted us to drive there on Christmas day. I was surprised that the place was soooo tiny, located in a corner of Tiendesitas. There were maybe 5-6 tables? But you can see Tom Sawyer from the street outside of you're driving by.
Tom Sawyer now has a fast-food vibe. I don't know if it was like this before. I seem to recall it being a sit-down type of restaurant.
The menu is quite simple and straightforward. In fact, that above is pretty much it. They serve chicken, ribs, and spaghetti plus several side dishes like fries, coleslaw, cornbread, etc.
Hubby and I ordered two dishes for sharing. First was the 2 Pcs Chicken with Rice and Gravy (P138, pictured above). I thought the chicken was great -- it's well-cooked through the bone and the skin is super crunchy just the way I like it. Hubby was kinda disappointed though he said he remembered it being so much bigger and better. I thought P138 for this meal was fair. It would be better if you had the option to "upgrade" the white rice to Hickory Rice but you can't, the order-taker said you have to order Hickory Rice as a side if you want it with chicken.
