What User likes about Tom's Family Restaurant:
Well, I have had only one dinner there and probably 25 breakfasts so I limit my comments to that. The food is always good. The wait staff are always good and for me, they are always the same which usually means the managers/owners are good. they don't turnover staff all the time. When I have business meetings, it is open for people to see each other but the high ceiling and high bench backs keeps the noise at a level... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Tom's Family Restaurant:
I have been there twice and both times were blah. The place is so dark and dated...our table was probably decades old and worn out in spots...desperately needed a new table. And did i say dark? and dingy. The food was ok...just ok. Greek salad's tomatoes did not seem fresh as kind of squishy. I paid $19 for a meal...and it should be a heck of a lot better than it was for that price. View all feedback.

Tom's restaurant received mixed reviews on various aspects. One reviewer mentioned disappointment with food quality and service, while another praised the great service during challenging times. The overpriced brunch buffet was criticized for having mediocre food. However, others enjoyed the 2 for $20 menu and gluten-friendly options. Customers commended the friendly staff and atmosphere. The donair plate was intriguing to some, leading them to consider returning. Despite some negative feedback, many diners had positive experiences, particularly with breakfast dishes.
