Love this eclectic little diner on Main St in Yazoo City. Been here a couple of times and never been disappointed by the service or the food. Today I had The Banker, an open face Philly Cheesesteak smothered in gravy and fries... wow! Delicious and filling, highly recommended! read more

Local diner on a cool old town street. Felt like we were on a movie set. All the local eat here. Everyone knew everyone. Had the mound street and fries. Was great. It's a BLT with Brisket and Ham added to it. Service was great and friendly. I would definitely come back if in the area. read more

Came in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch while passing thru town. This was the only joint that was open (and they close at 2:00), so I thought I would give it a try. Ordered a shrimp po boy and fries. I thought fried shrimp were all the same, but these were really good. Fresh, if you will. The tomatoes were very ripe and tasty, though the roll was huge. Don't need that much bread. The fries were nothing more than a handful and were battered, not my favorite. Guess a small serving wasn't a bad thing. Service was quick and friendly, though some Asian grocery store shopping adventure was playing out on the TV. No idea what that was all about. read more

Happened upon this restaurant while traveling through. The food was very good and wait staff was friendly.

We witnessed a Black couple being treated horribly bad by a White waitress. She was so racist, rude and disrespectful to them. They told her that their food was overcooked, dry and bland and they wanted to try something different. We heard them say that they'll still pay for what they got but want a different meat. Our table heard the waitress say in a rude way. " You Still Have To Pay For It!" Then the waitress got loud and over talked them. Mind you the couple was calm and respectful to the waitress as she rudely and abruptly walked off saying "I'm going to get TOM!" He's the owner. Tom arrived at the table and asked what's the problem? The nice couple explained again the same way. "We're going to still pay for this but want a different meat." Tom came with the requested meat. We noticed how the waitress kept checking on us and everyone else but the Black couple. They had to get her attention before she came to their table. She aggressively poured the man's water and walked off hard and fast with an attitude without asking the woman if she needed anything. The woman said excuse me, excuse me I'd like a refill too. The look on that waitress face was pure evil as she turned around to refill the woman's water glass. They paid for their food and as they were walking out we saw that same waitress hurry up to catch up to the woman, bumped her and yelled "EXCUSE ME!" That woman kept her head up, ignored the waitress and they walked out. The waitress didn't like it when the woman said excuse me to her for asking for a refill. It was obvious to us that this waitress is racist against Black people. We talked to them outside and apologized to them about what we witnessed. We were so embarrassed and vowed never to return as long as that racist waitress is working there. We're so tired of this Nicks In The Sticks racism. read more

On way home to Louisiana and driving thru Yazoo City. So, stopped at Tom's on Main for lunch. Because it was Sunday their menu was like limited with plate lunches style food which makes sense because they are the place locals go to eat after church. Got chicken n dumplings plus 2 sides and husband got meatloaf with 2 sides. The food was good. Service was good but they got slashed with only 3 servers. read more

Great food and service. Plate lunch and the best corn bread I've had in a while. Whenever I'm near yazoo city I plan to stop. A lot of locals make it comfortable. read more

We were passing through and thought the stores looked nice, so we stopped in for lunch. The place was crowded so we figured it must be good. It was alright but nothing special. We both had the Mound Street sandwich and fries, though my wife had to skip the bread. It had very modest portions of meat and really no flavor. I like small town eateries but I think Toms on Main will have to up its game to stay in business. read more

Tom's Cheeseburger with fries was AMAZING! Fantastic way to boost your cholesterol! Best burger I've had in years!

Like stepping back in time. So glad we stopped here on the way thru town. I almost expected Andy Griffith to stroll thru the door. Plate lunch is awesome. Fried pork chop is a fantastic choice. Plenty of food, super friendly people, low prices. Searching for an excuse to go back! read more

Tom's on Main was an amazing place to eat. We had the gizzards. They were the most tender gizzards that my wife and I have ever had. One of my sides was red beans and rice. Excellent choice. Best I have ever eaten. This prompted me to get an order to go. Don't get one to go. It was mostly just rice and very few red beans and sauce. In the restaurant was great. If I am by there again, I will stop and eat. read more

Great local spot, good service and reasonable prices. Support local!!! Hit the gift store next door as well!! Definitely added to the regular list. !!! read more

Went here again! It was soooo good. I had fried chicken, which was SUPER DUPER DELICIOUS! I had cornbread, classic yummy southern, mac n' cheese, WOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fries were REALLY REALLY REALLY DELICIOUS!!!!!!! Come to Tom's. read more

Why isn't this place rated higher? Driving through town I noticed this place on yelp. Upon entering the establishment I found a cozy, friendly café with a large menu and a daily blue plate special. From BLTs to pimento cheese sandwiches to meatloaf, this place had it all. A good family menu, as they have everything from sandwiches to chicken fingers (for the kids). I had the brisket sandwich, it was excellent, and a side of potato salad. They have a ton of sides choose from, all so fresh and delicious. The hardest thing about this place, is deciding what to order. I'll definitely be back. Family-friendly, great food, friendly staff, and they accept credit cards. A great find! read more

Laid back country atmosphere. The chicken Sliders were tasty, that bread pudding though!!! The food was so good I decided to try some to take home for dinner. The vegetable plate did not disappoint! read more

Really nice little pub style restaurant. Had the chopped cheeseburger, which I've never even heard of before. It was a lot like a sloppy joe, but with cheese and hamburger and dressed like a normal burger. Discussed with the owner and he identified it as a Harlem-centric sandwich, kind of like a cut rate Philly. He'd had one in NY and decided to add to the menu here. Nice staff, fast service. Neat decor as well. read more

Very artsy inside and nice staff. However, the food leaves a lot to be desired. I had the Crab Cake BLT with a side of Black-Eyed Peas. The crab cake had a very strong FISHY flavor instead of a delicate crab taste. The peas were tasteless-no seasoning and over cooked. Even salt and pepper didn't help the peas. My husband had the catfish plate. It wasn't hot or crispy, and he said everything on his plate was bland. The place has potential to be amazing, but it's going to take someone taking the food up a few levels. read more

I was looking to try somewhere new In Yazoo City. I found this delightful place. The atmosphere is bright & vibrant. They had lunch plate specials but you could order other items from the menu as well. It seemed to be where the locals eat as everyone who cane in recognized each other. The food was good and the waitress was right on time with the sweet tea! Check it out if you're in downtown Yazoo City. read more

The absolute best meal I've had in ages! I definitely recommend their lunch specials. Good country cooking, full of flavor, and great prices. Tasted like Maw Maw had made it. read more

I've been about a half dozen times and Tom's is always a hit with the whole family. I love the hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, and butter beans. The kids devoured the grilled cheese and chicken strips. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I like to order a dozen tamales to go. They are great too. read more

Excellent in all areas- a terrific little hidden gem in tiny Yazoo City. Tom's serves lunch, which has always been delicious- and now they offer dinner service on the weekend. Our mussels were wonderful in a light garlicky white wine stock, and our steaks were cooked to perfection. We can't wait to go back for dinner! read more

Nestled in 1905 architecture of colorful Main Street, downtown Yazoo City---Tom's offers a great lunch menu with the usual plate lunch fare but accentuated by a gourmet burger and sandwich menu including the Saratoga Club, Uraguian Chiveto and St. Patrick Burger w/ corned beef & fried egg. Dinner / wine menus on Friday and Saturday nights provides oysters, shrimp, redfish, steak, veal and other delectable dishes with Italian, French and Louisiana flare. Always on the walls guests will find exhibits of fine art and photography for sale or enjoyment. My favorite place to lunch and dine. Food is great and service tops! read more

Great menu and friendly, helpful staff. I had the basic hamburger and asked for a little pimento cheese, and they didn't even have to call a committee meeting about it. My burger was a little on the dry side, but everything was fine otherwise. read more

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday on our way back to Arkansas after a vacation on the Alabama shore. Very tasty Chivito sandwich, very good burger, appetizing Main Street sandwich, excellent fries, pleasant and attractive decor and fast, friendly service. Even chatted with Tom himself! Beware the hours...call ahead, like we did, to be sure! Total thumbs up from this hungry traveling family! Great alternative to chain food just moments away from Highway 49! read more

Had a very good lunch here. The tamales were delicious. This was a nice place to stop on our road trip from Arkansas to Alabama.

Stopped by for lunch on my way through town. Had the meatloaf plate lunch. The meatloaf and sides were very good. Service was fast and friendly. I'll stop by again the next time I'm in town. read more

Two of my coworkers and I ate at Tom's when we took a work trip to Yazoo. We loved the atmosphere! Service was great and the food was delicious! I had the hamburger steak plate lunch and my coworkers had the fried pork chop. Everything was fantastic, and we noted that the greens in particular are seasoned well. There's a bacon lover's burger on the menu that I wish I'd been hungry enough to try. I'll get it the next time I'm in town! read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way from Little Rock to Clinton. Both of us had the plate lunch, hamburger steak with mashed potatoes, butterbeans, and black-eyed peas. The hamburger steak was tender and flavorful, with a good dark brown gravy. Both the butterbeans and peas were cooked perfectly and well seasoned, requiring no added salt. Service was fast and friendly. You could tell from the conversations that lots of regulars were there that day, always a good sign. Martha's catfish was very good as well, and she liked the Cole slaw and hush puppies. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area! read more

A great stop for lunch today on our return to Little Rock from Perdido Key. Four of us ordered three different items, two of us got the same thing. All of us agreed the food was great. All the positive reviews were confirmed by our party. I'm glad we decide to bypass Jackson and wait to eat in Yazoo City! read more

I recently indulged in the food at this establishment. I ordered the Rotisserie Chicken Salad with fries on the side. I was highly disappointed. My chicken tindie strippies in the salad were not to my expectations. I had 5 of the chicken strippies, 5! That is an uneven number, that is unsatisfactory. The strippies were also different lengths entirely. One was 4.79 centimeters, another was 5.05 centimeters, another was 4.359 centimeters, and so on. They were even different weights. One of my tendie strippies was 23.176 grams, another was 28.339 grams, and another was 25.555 grams. This inconsistency is unacceptable. My cheese shreds and croutons were also inconsistent. The cheese shreds varied from 2.3 centimeters to 2.7 centimeters. Not all of my croutons had a perfect 90 degree angle on each corner, so are they even square? My lettuce had different pigments of green. Now, onto the fries. I measured each of my 31 fries, again another ODD number. I will spare you the details, but the fries were atrocious. They were never the same length, some were more cooked than others, and the crisp was WRONG. My waiter also reeked of moldy onions and baby diapers. Where is the hygiene? I guess it is gone, just like the consistency!!! After this whole experience, I am more angered with my chicken tendie strippies than anything else. I will never eat here again. I am highly disappointed, and this has utterly destroyed my day. POOR!!! read more
