    We came here for breakfast, ordering a variety of breakfast foods amongst 5 of us. It was all pretty basic stuff, tasted good and what have not. The food all came out about the same time and in a timely manner. Service was also good. Breakfast foods are generally pretty basic, thus the 3 stars (acceptable with no issues). I would return here for breakfast again. The "real" overall review will be once we eat here for lunch or dinner. I'll revisit this review once we do that.

    Wow.....

    Big Tom's is a diner that has a small town feel. Everyone is so friendly. The decor is filled with photos of Elvis and the like. The chicken is AMAZING. I get the chicken and biscuit which is covered in a country gravy. My husband got the Big Tom's Breakfast. I recommend dining here for breakfast or dinner. Yum!

    We've been driving past this place for weeks and decided to give it a try. We came in at 6pm on a Friday night. It looked full but were able to be seated right away. We started off with fried okra as an appetizer. They were fried perfectly and the ranch dressing was yum. Move on to our main meals, I ordered the shredded beef wrap with cole slaw and my husband the country fried steak meal. We begin eating and we're happy with our choices. It's not over the top delicious but it was good. The beef in my wrap was a little on the plain side. Definitely needed some sauce on it. Luckily there was a single option (A1) on the table because our waitress didnt offer any bbq sauce options. My husband takes another bite of his and says I don't think this is mine. The waitress comes over to ask how things are going and I say, I think you brought my husband someone else's plate, he ordered country fried steak and it's chicken. She said no, that's how I put it in. (??) She said she thought he asked for country fried chicken but didn't offer to correct it. My husband not wanting to make a big deal about it told her it was OK. It was still good and he was fine with it. We got sweet tea for drinks and it tasted watered down. Move on to dessert (banana pudding) and that, was very good. The guy (I guess the manager) seemed nice. Was at the front desk acknowledging and greeting each guest that came in. The restaurant was full (more mature crowd) so I expected we would've had a better experience. I think if we had a different waitress, one that was more attentive, it may have changed my perspective on the whole dining experience. Our waitress, although she tried to be nice never even introduced herself. Like I said, the food wasnt bad, maybe we just went in on an off day. I don't know. Maybe we'll try again some time.

    Waffle, and Country Benedict.

    Seated right away (before 8 am, it gets really busy later on). Basic atmosphere but very clean. Service was prompt, coffee came quick and refills were frequent. The Country Benedict (over biscuits with sausage) was substantial and tasty, the waffle was good but cooked easy (I should have ordered it "crisp" or well done), and the grits were creamy. Over all, we'll done, and priced well! All that food, with coffee, for $24! I'll be back!

    A typical dinner fare and great service. The chili hot dog is enormous! And I can't start praising their omelets.

    This place never fails to deliver…read more Every time we come to Legoland, we come here for dinner as well. It is always an absolute delight. I got the butterfly gin drink again and as always, it is 10 out of 10. It isn't too sweet and it packs a punch. My husband got an old-fashioned and enjoyed it. For our Mains, I got the pear salad, which was great. I didn't add any protein because my younger son got the grilled chicken kids meal with french fries. He only eats half the chicken so I got the other half. My older son got buttered noodles and a side of fries. It was very good as well, he liked the buttered noodles, but stopped halfway through, so I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses another dish next time. He does love the fries. My husband got the chimichurri steak which he should get every single time because it is delicious and my younger son eats a ton of it as well. This time he got the vegetable of the day and mashed potatoes as his sides and enjoyed both. Parking is a breeze because there is a lot of nearby street parking. It is only about 15 minutes away from LEGOLAND, so I highly recommend if you're in the area skip all the chain restaurants and come here instead.

    Lucille's American Cafe is a solid breakfast spot, and the food is the real draw…read more My wife and I came in for brunch/lunch and the food did not disappoint. She had the Breakfast Burger with fries and I went with the skirt steak and eggs. Both were excellent. The steak was cooked right and the whole plate came together well. Service was a little slow, which kept this from being a perfect visit. We also happened to be seated near one extremely loud patron, which made the room harder to enjoy, though that is obviously not the cafe's fault. Even with the slow service, the quality of the food is what matters and Lucille's delivered. We would come back.
