What Chris Baker doesn't like about Tom Thumb Drive Inn:
Usually a decent place but this was our “half pound” of cheese balls for over $9. I went in and the lady said this is how they come. Waste of money.Food: 2/5 View all feedback. What User likes about Tom Thumb Drive Inn:
The first time to taste them and their Thick Burger Deluxe was fantastic. Huge and filled and tasted super. Service was great and I will definitely eat again when I'm in town. View all feedback.

The Super Tom burger was undercooked in the middle, while the meatloaf was burnt on the bottom and lacking in flavor and texture.

Great food, homestyle meals, best broasted chicken in town. Fresh made bread, rolls, pies and pastries. Usually good service with the occasional off night.
