Tom's - Rochester

My friend and I decided to make a spontaneous stop at Tom's restaurant, located in a strip mall setting. The atmosphere was very nostalgic, giving off a classic diner vibe. The food was decent and had a quaint charm to it.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The prices are unbeatable, the cutlery feels like it's from home, and the atmosphere is very cozy. Older residents often come here to mingle and share their life stories, as they have been regulars at Tom's for many years. It's evident that this place holds a special place in their hearts and serves as a meeting point that brings joy. Not many places provide this unique opportunity for older individuals. As for the food, everything is delicious and reminds me of the tasty meals my grandmother used to make. The prices are super reasonable and truly affordable.

The waitstaff is consistently fantastic at this restaurant. It had been a while since our last visit, but the owner, a woman, personally greeted us with a big smile. She is always very kind to our children, which is just one of the reasons we keep coming back. My personal favorite dish is her rub, while my family enjoys all of her breakfast options. I especially appreciate that on Sundays they only serve homemade fries, which was the main reason I wanted to return last weekend.

It's like walking into a time warpI'm pretty sure nothing has moved in a few decades.

I love Tom's.
