This little hole in the wall holds a special place in my heart. Any time you come in you find people from all walks of life. The food is affordable for anyone and the service is top notch. The food is always consistently good and the donuts are to die for. If you have never been you have to come in a try them. read more

Food and service ... a bit pricy but it was very flavorful!!! great little hole in the wall local breakfast shop. I'll go back.

Good food and service. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy. I had the chicken fried steak,eggs,and hash browns. The plate was overloaded with food and it was delicious. Waitress was on the ball even when the power went out for 10 minutes. Plus this place has pastries that we took home. They are amazing,even a day or two later. This is a true hidden gem in downtown Davenport. read more

I LOVE Tommy's. If you're looking for a homey, hole-in-the-wall, small town vibe where the food is a good price, you can get coffee in a mismatched mug and the people are kind, this is your kind of place! Despite all of the challenges the owners and employees have faced over the last couple of years, I'm happy that this gem is still a staple of the west side. If you're looking for an uppity, high-maintenance experience, this place isn't for you. And remember this place is cash only! read more

Classic old-time diner. Had to take pastries after breakfast. Bring your cash. What's not to love?

If you're going to Tommy's for donuts, be sure to get there early! These things sell out FAST, which just tells you how good they are. The donuts are super fresh and delicious. While the restaurant is nothing fancy, it's got that true mom & pop vibe that is always endearing, and the employees are super friendly. read more

The place is kind of dirty so I took a few doughnuts to go & they were doughy & very greasy inside almost tasted like they used lard to make them with I ended up just throwing mine in the trash. I can't stand greasy food that's all it makes me nauseous!!! read more

My favorite part of our long-awaited trip to Tommy's Cafe was far and away the baked goods. I loved my chocolate long john and the cinnamon rolls we got for later were stellar. We were able to to find seating right away and if our teenaged waiter was less than enthusiastic and often absent, the quality of the food and the friendliness of Tommy, himself, at check-out made up for it. I had my eye on that aforementioned donut, but also make it my mission to try the pancakes at every breakfast place I visit. The '88 Special fit the bill perfectly; it comes with three silver dollar pancakes, in addition to bacon, sausage, and an egg. The pancakes were good, not great, and next time I'll probably forgo them in favor of a benedict or biscuits and gravy dish. My boyfriend got Cajun-style B&G and they were really good. I really liked the taste of chorizo in the gravy. So glad I finally had the opportunity to try this West-side staple! Even though my coffee cup was frequently empty, I loved the atmosphere, the food, and especially the pastries. Hopefully next time we'll get one of the phenomenal, long-serving waitresses of QC Times lore. read more

AMAZING. English muffins, bread, and donuts made fresh daily. Oh and when you order an apple fritter they ask you if you want it warmed with butter. Uhm YES please! (See image) Get cash before you go because they don't take cards! You won't regret the trip to the ATM! read more

the pancakes are top notch. don't order the bacon though. get there early for the doughnuts

We've driven past this place numerous times and after reading Yelp reviews, we decided to give it a shot. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular, given the location and the exterior of the building. The service was great. Our server was busy but she made time to do it all- talk to guests, buss tables, take orders, etc. After all this she still made sure our order was correct and that everything was great. I had the biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend had the steak skillet. At first bite, everything was good. Biscuits and gravy were a little plain, nothing great about them. Nothing horrible either. The boyfriend said he liked his food. The prices were incredibly low! Can't beat that. All I can say is... thank god we were less than a minute away from home. It was a mad dash to the bathroom and the boyfriend and I had to fight for who got to go first. Like I said, at first bite, the food was decent. However, it was a different story when we left. We will definitely not be going back. read more

Count me as a fan. Excellent diner style breakfast, AMAZING baked goods! Prompt and professional while friendly and casual service. I can see why this place has been in business for over 30 years: fresh homemade food. Fresh cinnamon rolls are a must try, soft and light pastry, glazed, heated and with served with melting butter; amazing with coffee. Will definitely be back to try more from this classic breakfast menu. read more

A hidden gem in Davenport, small place but big taste. The donuts are a must have there or to take home. Cash only and parking is on a one way. Great little diner. read more

Wonderful Chicken Fried Steak! Hand-breaded, real cube steak covered in an awesome gravy. This is my go-to meal at this place and I order it at least once a week. I call my order in and it is ready to go when I arrive 15 minutes later. Don't be put off by the no-frills aspect. IF you want good food at a reasonable price - go to Tommy's. Dont forget to try their turnovers and cinnamon rolls! read more

Besides the environment & the atmosphere, the food was fulfilling. A plate full of food. Very fast & extremely hot, well cooked food. Service was nice & polite. Price is EXTREMELY cheap & worth the food read more

Tommy's Cafe - Corned beef hash. Forget that canned garbage. - Cafes Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Tommy's has the best donuts and cinnamon rolls!! My only complaint is that there is never enough seating, so you are left standing awkwardly waiting for a table and the staff seems a little unorganized sometimes because of how busy it gets! Remember to bring cash because they don't accept card! read more

Nice folks, cheap prices, but the food is simply bad. My omelet looked like a fluorescent orange burrito, thanks to the slice American cheese food melted across its top. read more

Home made corn beef hash. Great service and a friendly fun place to come for a hearty breakfast. I was visiting from the Bay Area and when my travels bring me back to the Quad Cities i will definitely make Tommy's my first stop. read more

Nasty. I ordered the country benedict thinking they might ruin the classic poached egg benedict, and they managed to ruin scrambled eggs. Eggs came out fried, sausage was totally dry like they served me yesterday's leftover, and the English muffin was tough. I don't understand how so many places stay in business. read more

Tommy's was recommended by a friend while I was back home for a family reunion. I bought blueberry turnover, delicious! A cinnamon roll and a maple glazed donut. Everything was fantastic and responsibly priced. I have to go back to try their breakfast, since the pastries were so good. read more

Used to love this place but their lack of attention to detail has caused me to decided to never come to Tommy's again. Asked for butter and powdered sugar for my pancakes on two different occasions and both times did not get what I asked for. After the first time I decided to double check with the man at the cashier that the powdered sugar was included in my to go order and he confirmed it was. Only to get home and not have powdered sugar. When I called the complain all I got was excuses. Fool me once shame on you, fools me twice shame on me. read more

I was visiting iowa for my cousins wedding this past weekend. We stopped in at Tommy's to get breakfast before the ceremony. This place was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! I had the eggs benedict. It was so good! My mom got an apple fritter and I've never tasted anything that good before! I will definitely be going back next time I'm in iowa! read more

Hash browns were decent but the Eggs Benedict were terrible. Swimming in sauce with no taste. I have never seen anything like it.

This downtown Davenport gem is amazing. The food is always good, the prices are reasonable and the staff gives service with amazing grace. I attend their pretty much every other week with a group of friends and we all love the place. For anyone having food issues (gluten, allergies, or intolerances) I spoke with Tommy the other day. As long as you make him aware he keeps a separate grill and uses a separate pan for making meals. I even have a friend with issues with canola oil and he is willing to work with him. Although I personally can't eat the baked and fried donuts the smell reminds me of childhood. I often buy them for friends of mine and they are always amazed with the textures and flavors. read more

Great cheap place to get breakfast but bring cash there's no debit or credit card machine. Really good corned beef hash and the eggs Benedict are great as well. read more

Went on a Sunday and they were full, and managed to get us in within 5 minutes. Service is so speedy about sitting families and doubles. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by smiles which started off the morning amazing. The employees are so nice and funny. As soon as we were seated our waitress came right over to take our drinks and then our order. The pancakes are cooked to perfection, along with the omelettes. Even though they were completely full, our food came out shortly after with almost no wait. The prices are extremely cheap (about $6 for pancakes and sausage). The food is filling and we could barely finish!! Absolutely LOVED Tommy's and highly recommend to everyone! read more

Just a regular shmo kinda place,with the best service, food, and home made donuts in downtown davenport.have eaten breakfast there with my kids for the last16 years. Mmmm apple turnovers are the bomb! read more

Terrific Cafe. On a recommendation I turned up as a single and got the last seat at the counter. They were busy and everyone was in the moment. Great care by the staff. Everything was being produced by three serious pros in the kitchen. Hot and up in the window and out. It was tremendous! I ate it all and struggled up front to pay. Then I'm struck by the home made rolls and donuts. "I'll be back" I told them,"soon." read more
