Tom's Family Restaurants

I've only been through the drive thru, but I ordered the Carne asada fries and you have to order your fries extra crispy, trust me! Also had the Tom's Burritto which is a breakfast burrito and ordered it with no veggies and salsa inside. This burrito kept me full all day it was so good! I'll keep coming here and recomend it.

I used to visit Tom's Famous Family Restaurant as a teenager, but over time, things changed, and I lost interest. Occasionally, I’d drop by, but it was never anything special—just a neighborhood spot. That all changed recently when I decided to give it another try, and wow, I was truly impressed!

The standout service, especially from a wonderful woman named Cheli, took me by surprise. Although this restaurant doesn’t have traditional waiters, the staff goes out of their way to make you feel like family. They check in on you while you’re eating, offering drink refills and bringing extras like salsa. Honestly, the service is better than some places that do have waiters, and I was in awe.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything is made to order, piping hot, and the portions are generous. There’s a vibrant energy here—everyone’s smiling, hustling, and making sure the food is served promptly. The place is spotless, and you can really feel the respect in the air.

What makes Tom’s even more special is how it restores what’s often lost in today’s world. In an age where people are too busy on their phones or don’t even say hello to each other, this restaurant is a refreshing reminder of connection and warmth. People greet each other like old friends, and the positive energy is contagious—you feel like you’re eating among family.

Wanting to see if this experience was just a fluke, I visited again, and it was just as amazing. The third time, I went during a busy weekend breakfast, and the vibe was just as welcoming. I don’t even live in the area, but I’ll definitely keep coming back. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy great food in an atmosphere that feels like home.

Great family owned diner. It can get crowded but they serve food quick so people move pretty fast. If it’s busy then parking may but tight in the main lot but I was able to find parking down a side street. I got a Texas Burger and I added pastrami to it. Just figured I would try it since they say that the pastrami is good. It was a really good mix! Overall great diner but can get busy.

Waited in the drive through for awhile. Even tried to talk to whomever was on the other side, no answer THREE times. Meanwhile the car in front was being helped SLOWLY! No wonder no one was in the drive through if they can only handle one car at a time. Ended up driving away. Won't be coming back anytime soon if this is how they do business!

Tom's Famous Family Restaurant is a fast food dinner in NoHo. They have an extensive menu with a ton of options, including a lot of vegetarian eats. They're cool, efficient and friendly - the bean burrito (hold the dairy for me), veggie breakfast burrito (hold the cheese and eggs for me also) and veggie burger are some of my go to dishes.

You order at the counter and receive a number for your table as well as service directly to where you choose to sit. You can request more salsa, silverware, and refills as needed.

The parking lot is pretty spacious, though not massive, and they also have a drive thru that gets some use.

This is one of many locations but one of the few in greater LA.

Vegetarian options: The veggie dishes aren't marked but you can spot them - i.e. veggie burger, veggie burrito - if you're lactose or vegan like myself you can opt out of dairy or egg based items #FoodMadeToOrder

Dietary restrictions: No flat out gluten-free or vegan options but they can accommodate - shared kitchen and grill with other items.

Parking: They have a fair number of spaces - never completely full as well as a drive thru
