“Cute family restaurant. A little Americano variety of food. Your old fashioned restaurant. Not your uppity modern hipster kinda place. Real food for real people.?

Parking: Restaurants off the beaten path but easy enough to find.

Kid-friendliness: Well priced“

“Was very impressed by the food!! The service by our waitress Sara was amazing. She was very attentive and brought out a dog bowl and treats for my old dog, Buddy.

I has the ribs, wings, and the fish. Both the soups of the days and the dressings for the salad was house made and absolutely delicious ? ? ?

The owner/manager was very hospitable, joking around and asking if there was anything he could do to make pur visit better. As this was my first time, I cannot tell you have much I loved this place!! Cannot wait to come back and bring more people to this wonderful establishment. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“Great food. Fresh hot sauce. Fresh beans.“

“Solid diner food, but the kitty robot delivering your food is worth the trip. I had the carna salad, which was plentiful and tasty. My husband had tuna melt and side salad, both good. My daughter had chicken and waffles, which were the standout. Fried chicken was tasty, tender, and crispy. We were with a group, and ordering at the counter is perfect for that. But we simply loved the kitty robot delivering our food!

Parking: Nice lot with plenty of parking.“

“Steak burrito, good size but very plain, sauces flavorless. Onion rings were ok. I recommend the breakfast options. Tom's takes me back in time when food was served plentiful, fast and very affordable. I rarely stopped there before because the place looked mostly empty and the location is away from the main food joint hubs. I think this place deserves more local support from patrons before it goes bust or too crazy with pricing. Quiet family type environment.“

“Best pasta west of the Mississippi“
