Tom Thumb Reviews
It's not good anymore since the new owner took over. The chicken strips are gas station chicken strips, the cheese balls are gross now, the ranch used to be good, and my order is wrong every time now.
new owners don't seem to want to take care of the customers. last time going here.
Passing through and decided to grab lunch at a different place. Wished we had just went to McDonald’s, would have got better products and service. Won’t go to this place again. Can’t recommend it. The chicken was the only thing that was palpable, that said don’t be afraid to go into new places. Our only mistake was we should have looked at the reviews before stopping.

Tom Thumb Drive In is a restaurant that offers delicious food, reminiscent of childhood experiences. The building appears somewhat nondescript and run down, resembling an abandoned fast food place, but it is surprisingly clean and features retro decor that is kitschy and mismatched. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has plenty of booths for seating, with customers seating themselves and ordering at the counter. Their food is the highlight of the restaurant, with well-seasoned and tasty meals, including their famous broasted chicken, which is a favorite for many visitors. The service is prompt and friendly, and the food is often brought to the table, making dining convenient. The restaurant also has updated, clean restrooms. Many customers appreciate the casual atmosphere, which is similar to how it might have been in the 70s, providing a nostalgic experience. The lunch menu offers a variety of appealing options, and breakfast items like the breakfast sandwich and breakfast platter are well-loved, with the ham on the sandwich receiving special praise. Overall, Tom Thumb Drive In is a popular spot for good food, friendly service, and a nostalgic vibe.
