Thomas's has become a reliable spot for my family. The staff is always nice and service is prompt. The dessert case at the entry greets you and gets you ready for some old school style service and food. They offer everything from sandwiches and breakfast to traditional Polish dishes. My wife ordered the grilled chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, squash, and a side salad. The grilled chicken was really good, not your average diner chicken. I ordered a Cobb salad and it was super yummy and filling. Everything was very fresh and definitely homemade. I wish I would have written down my waitresses name, because she was spunky and amazing. We will definitely be back. If you roll through Livonia, stop in. read more

Thomas's Family Diner is a local hot spot that is very clean and updated. I ate here today and paid with a gift certificate I won at a party. I ordered a sandwich with French Onion Soup (up charge of 2.99). The soup was very good - great flavor, cheesy and not too salty. My sandwich, Stevie's Wonder, was also very good. The Chargrilled chicken was tender and juicy. It was topped with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese and honey mustard on a brioche bun. I would order both these items again. My service was good from start to finish. My only complaint about this entire experience was the cost - just under $19 for soup and a sandwich. Lucky for me, the gift certificate covered it all. read more

Friendly staff serves up hot food quickly. This place is always busy so you know ingredients are fresh. Decent sized menu with a variety of options. The one comment I must make is the cleanliness. It's outstanding. Usually you can tell a lot about a place from the restroom. It was very clean, even the floors. The attention to detail for an enjoyable experience was displayed by the hand sanitizer spray on every table, or when my syrup arrived nice and warm. Cozy and clean with hearty food - recommend. read more

I was invited by some friends to have brunch with them, and this is the place they picked. I've driven by Thomas Family Dining plenty of times and never thought to stop in, so I'm really glad I decided to join them. Walking in on a Sunday afternoon, I could immediately tell it was a popular spot--the place was packed. The restaurant has a cozy, comfortable feel with plenty of seating. Our food came out fresh, hot, and with solid portions. Everything tasted good, and the service was friendly without being overbearing. The staff checked in just enough to make sure we had what we needed. Overall, it's a nice, simple spot if you're looking for a satisfying meal and a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely come back. read more

Not spectacular just ok. I prefer Steve's traditional polish fare over Thomas's. Service is hurried, and the ambiance is rushed and crowded feeling. read more

We were greeted at the door as soon as we walked in and were shown to our table. The restaurant is so clean and bright and welcoming. Tonia was our server and she was wonderful. She explained the menu, gave great suggestions and made sure everyone had a full cup of coffee! There was so much to choose from! The French Onion soup was delicious and each of our meals were prepared perfectly and were piping hot when they got to our table. We will definitely be returning! read more

Walked in to a bright and airy welcoming atmosphere. Although the restaurant was very busy, we were seated quickly without a wait. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We came for soup and salad, and I would highly recommend both. The soup is homemade, the salads are huge and come with grilled pita bread. We tried the Maurice and Cobb Salads. Both were fantastic. Generous amounts of meat, cheese, and delicious homemade dressings. We will be back. read more

The food was good and the service was friendly and competent. The restaurant is a bit dated but not that important to me.

Legendary. One of our family favorites. A nice cozy family dining atmosphere. They are notorious for their huge portions at modest prices. They don't accept reservations, but they do WiFi. Biggest attraction is their service. Wonderful people serving you that really seem to care, once you get to know them. The food is decent. Maybe a 3 out of 5 and again the portions are large. We're in with the lunch crowd. Bring that I'm not too big on Polish food, I usually get a Turkey Club, fries and a coffee. They make a killer Cobb salad for around $15 that's easily two meals. They also have some great breakfast options, especially their skillets. I like their homemade corned beef hash and eggs. They have two great German beers, and now we know why I try to stop here. 11/24 read more

I have been here a handful of times after trying just a few months ago. I really enjoy their French onion soup and BLT with fries and my food always comes out hot and fresh read more

Great lunch here yesterday. Alyvia was our server and she did a great job. She was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. Since it was Thursday we all ordered the German potato soup. It is one of the best I have had. Corned beef sandwiches, Marty salads, and pancakes were all good. The food here is very consistent. Plenty of choices on the menu. Always good service. This is a place you have to try at least once. read more

A great family restaurant with friendly service and wonderfully delicious food. Their soups are the best!

I usually come here for breakfast, and have always had a great experience. The customer service is good, and the food is made at the time of order. I usually purchase the sunrise special with hash brown casserole. It's about 13.00 dollars. The restaurant is well lit, and spacious. A really nice place to eat. I highly recommend this location. read more

Happened to come across Thomas's when looking for Easter Brunch restaurants and saw several 5 reviews from last year Easter and we decided to give it a try. It was packed when we arrived at 1 and we were quoted 25-30 minute wait and we're seated in 24 minutes. We both decided to get the Easter dinner special and loved every bite. Generous portions, delicious ham, relaxed atmosphere and not only were we tickled pink, but all the tables around us seemed happy and satisfied as well. Our waitress was the icing on the cake. Seemed genuinely happy to be there serving us even though it was a holiday. She was like a Hummingbird bouncing from table to table spreading smiles. Just all around a great dining experience. We have found our new Easter brunch tradition. Highly recommend. read more

Another great meal at Thomas's. There's a reason it's always busy here, the food is consistently delicious and the service is excellent. I usually order the polish plate with city chicken, pierogi, and stuffed cabbage (comes with a soup or salad too), I ordered the Maurice salad today. It didn't disappoint- just like Hudson's but twice the size. Thank-you to our waitress, Jennifer- she navigates the requests of our aging parents with the patience of a saint. Homemade food, professional staff, and they serve beer and wine. Yes! read more

Met a few Fraternity Brothers there for breakfast last week. It was our first trip. Driving into the parking lot I was surprised by the number of cars I saw. There must have been 50 or more and I started thinking I had made a mistake by going there. Probably going to be a long wait. Nope!!! We were seated immediately. The service was fast and friendly and even though the place was crowded, our meals were delivered quickly. The food was very good and there was plenty of it. We will definitely be going back. read more

Incredible! The food, the service, the atmosphere! I highly recommend. Don't think twice. Just goooo! read more

Great food reasonably priced - that's why it's a busy restaurant. Attentive waitstaff. Nice atmosphere.

Rather new to west side here in Northville coming from Detroit 7 mile Kelly area. Very fond of pole town in hamtramck and the polish business. So nice to find a closer location for the polish platter and polish three. City chicken was great and I love stuffed cabbage‼ read more

It'd been ages since I'd been here, but I was in for a pleasant surprise! We came in for dinner (and in keeping with my New Year's goals), and I ordered a chicken caesar salad. This salad was HUGE. It could have easily been split between two people for complete meals. But the salad itself was great. The chicken was tasty. I felt perfectly happy and sated. Not too mention that I snuck a pierogi off my husband's plate, and it was a solid hit. Also, for a week day night, the place was surprisingly packed. I honestly had no idea how popular this restaurant continues to be, and for good reason, some day soon, I'm inspired to come back and try their kielbasa for myself. If Detroit's Coney Island is Greek-inspired, then this place has similar feel but with Polish inspiration. It's about the same quality and price point as a Coney Island, but with some specific Polish offerings. I can see why this place has continued to stay in business, and I'm looking forward to going back another time soon. (Preferably when I'm not ordering just a salad.) read more

Greeted and seated immediately. Waitress says that they make their own corned beef (hash). I believe her. A very tasty skillet breakfast. Coffee was hot and prompt. Waitress was attentive and knowledgeable without being obsequious. Restroom was clean. Will I return? Yes! read more

Food and service was absolutely wonderful, keibalsa was awesome. Can't wait to go back.

Great food, great service, friendly staff and the prices are equitable to other restaurants in the area. I would recommend Thomas'.

I came here with friends for Easter brunch and had a great experience! This place illustrates the concept that details matter: they provide real whipped butter and Smucker's natural jam - higher quality stuff than what is provided at a lot of other family restaurants. Also, cherry walnut toast is an option and was delicious. Everything there tastes fresh and homemade. I ordered Mark's skillet: ham, bacon, sausage, onion, peppers, American cheese, eggs, hash browns, and hollandaise. I appreciate that they used actual hash browns rather than just diced potatoes, but I would've liked them crispier. The hollandaise was grainy, but it had good flavor. Overall, this was a really good amount of food. I also got a chocolate cream pie slice which was amazing: so rich, creamy, and smooth. I look forward to the next time I can go back here to try other items! read more

Nice, clean, and courteous restaurant. I dropped in for breakfast and I felt that it was inviting and I especially liked that there was sanitizer on every table. Coffee is served immediately upon being seated. The food was served quickly and I thought the food tasted ok. I'm willing to try the restaurant again and maybe a different meal. read more

It was a really wonderful experience family restaurant. I had the wild grilled salmon. My wife got a Maurice salad that was huge. The carrot cake we shared for dessert was the best I've ever had. We had a excellent meal and we will return clean bathrooms. I just can't say enough good things. read more

Maybe it's the extra water in a cold glass at the table, maybe is the spray hand sanitizer at the table, idk. The food is awesome, it's all cooked perfectly with proper ingredients. Then there the staff that are all happy and nice. To top it it's perfectly clean. Americana perfected. read more

Maurice salad, Marty salad, the Polish dinners are amazing. The roast the chicken is amazing. I wish Thomas's would go to DoorDash for delivery. I would get Thomas's four or five times a month if they were around DoorDash keep up the good work! read more

Winter day 13° out and I want chowder. My last update I noticed the chowder was runny. Well now it's too thick. Really no broth just really thick broth. Almost like a Bear Creek Soup pack at Kroger. Had to add water to thin it down. Also noticed very little clam. The last visit also revealed the fish cod is smaller thinner and not as clear as it once was. Hey Mark you need to right the ship. You still got the crowds but the quality has slipped. read more

Ate here about a year ago and returned again this year Great once again. Food is great and staff is very pleasant Thanks Dr Ray read more

I am very impressed with the food and the service at this restaurant. The ambiance is not bad either. I highly recommend this place to go.

*Golden little nugget in Livonia*. we've eaten breakfast here, service and the food was tops! . eaten lunch, once again, service and food was great! I don't eat out for dinner very much, I like cooking at home. I have been told Thomas dinners are good. So, we had dinner tonight( 1-31-26) our service and food was very good. I was surprised on how packed it was tonight.... this place is always busy. that's a great sign of a great restaurant. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is always great, they just don't miss a beat! I gave this great group 5 stars because I have never had any bad experiences. Everybody has to eat here at least once! Get here, sit down and order some food. You won't be disappointed. read more

I always get great food and service here. And the prices and very reasonable! Today I'm having the tomato/basil soup and half blt.

Best stuffed cabbage I ever had! We got large amounts of food and the service was amazing.

It's kinda bad hit or miss..sometimes great..and sometimes not .wait staff.same thing..this is off busy Plymouth Rd..so I stood in traffic to get here.. let's hope it's good..love the breakfast...lunch is ok .. dinner good.. read more

Years ago this place was great. NOW - Not so much. Everything has changed...for the worse. Prices are sky high. Portions are smaller. Food quality is wayyy down. The chicken that comes on the salads used to be freshly grilled and had flavor. Now it's just tasteless chicken from a bag that they throw on - no flavor at all. I guess the owner thinks that no one will notice after they put on the salad dressing. The bacon on the salad is just crumbles of fat from a bag. And the amount of shredded cheese you get has been cut back by at least 50%. Years ago the carryout Thanksgiving meals were very good. Now they are a joke. The price just keeps going up while they give you less and less food each year. The turkey soup used to automatically come with the meals you ordered. Now I see that they are charging 11 DOLLARS per container!! Insane! You used to get rolls and salad with the meals too. And generously filled containers of stuffing. NOW - you guessed it - No rolls, No salad, and teeny scoops of dressing. I stopped ordering their Thanksgiving meals about 3 years ago - and I will never, ever order them again. The owner should be ashamed. The only reason I gave two stars instead of one is because they still have the birthday club - which means you get an email for a free meal when you purchase another one. Oh the entire restaurant (inside and outside) has been painted in various shades of gray. Depressing as heck. Looked better before. read more

My co-worker and I were apparently sharing a brain as we both decided to get the same thing, BLTs! Delicious! I would have preferred iceberg (which is not something I would normally say) to give a little more crisp to the sandwich. It's served with some leaf lettuce that doesn't hold up as well. However, even with that, it was super tasty! My friend got the homemade chips and I got the fries and we split them. Both needed to be hit with some salt coming out of the fryer. We still did enjoy the meal. read more

The new restaurant makeover is perfect! Beautiful and calming you feel in a wonderful place. I am amazed that even with a packed parking lot you're expecting to have to go and wait but you walk in and you get seated right away. It's well laid out so you don't feel like you're sitting next to somebody. The food and menu is wonderful assortment of food! Food is generous well prepared and the presentation is phenomenal. If you haven't been to Thomas's in a while, I highly suggest that you go. read more
