    French Toast (2 Halves) Or One Pancake And One Egg and side of Bacon, Sausage, Ham Or Chuck

    Yummy food. Crispy bacon and friendly staff. Simple diner that delivers all the basics

    1/25/2023 Tom's Depot 991 Fremont Ave Los Altos, CA 94024 We went there for an early lunch on a Wednesday. It is at the south corner of the Loyola Corners Shopping Center with parking in the back. It is a clean modern diner interior with ample indoor seating. The menu is tilted to breakfast offerings with burger/sandwich choices for lunch. I had the fish and chips and the wife had Breakfast #1 with breakfast sausages. My fish and chips was good but not the best I've had. The breakfast was good, but it's hard to mess up this basic selection. The prices are reasonable and a good value. Service was good and it appears they have a substantial take out business based on the activity I observed. I actually tried this place for a hot dog, which they no longer offer. I would repeat for breakfast based on their extensive menu and value.

    We finally got a chance to stop by Tom's Depot for brunch. It's on a busy corner in the Loyola Corners neighborhood, but there's plenty of parking in the back. They have a few seats on the patio, but now that covid is winding down (we hope), I'd prefer to sit inside. We had omelettes, but the menu was a typical diner. It had burgers, club sandwiches, and shakes. // Ticket Agent Omelette This was at the bottom of the omelette section, so I'm thinking it was the deluxe. It had all the ingredients of the veggie omelette, plus a generous amount of sausage. I saw a jalapenos elsewhere on the menu so I asked them to add some on. Perfect, hot cheesy goodness. The veggies were crunchy, and the meat nourished me with iron and protein. // Spinach Special Omelette Fresh spinach and cream cheese in this one. It sounds weird but it works. Both plates came with a choice of sides, like hash browns, home fries, or fruit. It also comes with toast or english muffin. Nicely buttered of course. There were jams on the table. Man, I love restaurants like this.

    Antonio's Scramble
    Jonathan B.

    Meh. I want to still love Tom's Depot, I really do. It's a local staple -- it's been around as long as anyone I know can remember. The previous owners ran it well for 20 years but it changed hands in 2021 and hasn't really been the same since. I've always known Tom's as a breakfast place but they are open for lunch too. There are three or four iron round tables outside but plenty inside. Create your own omelette or order one of the train themed versions. Antonio's scramble is a popular choice but fair warning it's a country scramble. That means it's made in a cast iron and crispy on the outside. Not my thing -- I find it a bit dry. Antonio's special is better. Oddly, it's also a scramble -- with ground beef and spinach -- but cooked the traditional way. Confused? If you don't Antonio's options, there's Matthew's choice with shrimp, avocado, mushrooms, onion, & american cheese. The dish has pretty good balance but it's better if you substitute a sharper cheese. Don't get the lox. The servers seem nice and everyone is trying hard but it's a little off. I support local but want Tom's to be better.

    Los Altos Omlette
    Ken K.

    Disclaimer: I know the owners. That being said, my review is, as always, just based on the quality of the food, given the price point. For Los Altos and the surrounding area, you're going to be hard-pressed to find a meal as reasonably priced as what you'll find here, that tastes good! If you're looking for organic avocado toast, this is not the place for you. But if you want a tasty omlette for less than $20, this is a good option (and really the only option in the immediate vicinity). We had the Los Altos omlette and apple pancakes. Both were delicious and came out about 10 min after we placed our order. We had gotten there close to closing, but they let us sit down and order. Coffee was a bit strong but tasty (and with free refills). My ratings never reflect the service, but it was good and friendly.

    The rest of the patrons including the woman who just sat down and had her order taken...while we wait...

    Been sitting in here for 12 minutes. In the meantime, two people walked in to go and were assisted. An older woman walked in sat down and her order was taken. We are still sitting here. I'm writing this review as I've been sitting here. Still waiting. Walked up to someone and said can someone take our order? That was four minutes ago. After 19 minutes of watching two different groups of human get assisted, we have walked out. As soon as we got up someone walked up to my partner and said "Sorry." Truly felt like they waited for us to leave. Wish I could give zero stars.

    This is the #1 I got bacon, soft poached eggs and sourdough toast

    This is an update for to my last review. Tom's Depot has new owners so the hubs and I stopped by to see how they were doing. The server this morning was very friendly and kept the hubs coffee cup filled. I really like their pico as it is freshly made and not just store purchased salsa. The hubs got 2 scrambled eggs hash browns and sourdough toast. We have been here twice and I will keep coming back they are good. Come check them out.

    11/26/17 Our first Sunday breakfast 10/18/22 Jim and I here are here (local restaurant) after a very long time. I gave 3 Stars today for the first time since we began dining here. I wonder what happened? Maybe a new management? Reasons for 3 Stars: 1. We waited and asked for our table to be cleaned after it was vacated 2. My coffee was not hot so I asked for a new cup 3. My breakfast was unlike it was before the Pandemic 4. Server was a little bit in a hurry to serve us and did not wait a second to say anything like "enjoy your breakfast..." 5. I hope they will have a delicious breakfast next time...

Hard to give a "diner" more than 4 stars IMO, hence the rating.

I always pickup my own food at Local Kitchens, so my food was fresh from the kitchen. So, I ordered a Sweet Onion Burger and Garlic Fries. When I took a bite of that cheeseburger....OMG, I had to reach for a napkin. That burger was hot and juicy. The savory juices were just flowing out! It tasted like a whole lot of grilled onions! The Garlic Fries were hot and crispy. The garlic toppings made the fries spicy. Local Kitchens @ Cupertino serves up hot and fresh top quality food!

    I don't go to Local Kitchens that much these days. I apologize for sounding so harsh but I do feel…read morethat the viability of Local Kitchens is hanging by a thread these days. (You don't have to take my word for it... the Palo Alto location just shut down and the Mountain View location that was around the corner from my apartment shut down earlier this year.) I thought Local Kitchens was an excellent concept when it was first launched. I loved how they served food from A-list places up in the city such as Wise Sons and Senor Sisig and I used to visit them quite often. However, as time went on and I don't know if it was problem with the vendors pulling out or Local Kitchens cutting ties, the options became average at best and I stopped coming here as often. I was still subscribed to the Local Kitchens emails and saw that they were launching a new burger option by Alvin Cailan. I had never heard of him before and looked him up and saw that he was a burger connoisseur. I should note that I was NOT a fan of the burgers originally served at Local Kitchen via The Melt so I was a little apprehensive at first about trying his burgers. However, he seemed legit so I ultimately decided that I would make a return to Local Kitchens at some point to try his burgers and so I bookmarked this place. One time when I was finishing late from work, I visited here and ordered the SOB with a side of truffle fries. I was surprised by the fact that the burger was quite simple yet packed with flavor. If you look at videos with Cailan, he claims that great burgers are made with a quality patty and only a few toppings. I wouldn't say I completely agree with this perspective but he has at least provided compelling evidence for that argument. The fries were also quite tasty. I had a $10 off reward so I ended paying only $13 for this meal, which was extremely reasonable. I wouldn't go so far to say that this is the BEST burger I've ever had and had I not had my $10 off reward and had paid full price, I MAY have had a different perspective. However, for the price I paid at the time, this place is definitely a reasonable alternative to In-n-Out, which is generally always my first assessment with any burger spot. This place could be a saving boon to Local Kitchens.
