What People Say
Most Liked
Diners love the breakfast options available all day at Tom’s. The breakfast burrito receives special mention, packed with flavor, and fulfilling enough to jumpstart anyone’s day. Another highlight is the Philly cheesesteak, consistently praised as the best in town. Customers frequently rave about the colossal burgers, highlighting the generous size and juiciness that sets them apart from competitors. The consistency in quality and fast service are also notable positives that keep the regulars happy. The casual atmosphere fosters a communal vibe—frequent diners and staff often know each other, creating a sense of belonging.
Most Disliked
While Tom's has plenty of loyal fans, some customers mention the interior could use an update to match the quality of the food. A few also reported occasional fly issues, which detracts from the dining experience. Even though it can get busy, particularly during peak hours like Friday evenings, this sometimes leads to longer wait times even for takeout. There have been mentions of small portion sizes on some items, like the grilled chicken, which contrasts sharply with the larger offerings. Finally, note that during rush hours, it can be challenging to find a seat, so plan accordingly if you're visiting at dinner time.

Best place to buy Tuna Melt Sandwich with Rye bread. Inside is a little outdated but it’s clean, food is great. Come visit them!

I love this place. The area, not so much, but the food and staff are awesome.

It's been my non-corporate go to place for lunch. Diner style food is very good - at least the burgers and breakfast I've tried. The order takers have always been pleasant and prompt. Dropped a star for the flies circling while I was trying to eat. -- Haven't seen any flies on my subsequent visits, so I added the star.

We went as crew of 6 Philly steak Good. Burgers all of them good. Grilled chicken good but kinda of small by comparison to rest of sandwiches. I had Fish Burgers, onion rings and vanilla shake. Fish patty was perfectly cooked tasty and larger than any other fast food places by far!. I did not ask if the onion rings were fresh made or from a bag but they to were of good quality and tasty. I now wish I had up sized the rings. The shakes were great. Service awesome I would eat here again anytime.
