Tom's is my go to for a quick weekend breakfast. They make a great biscuit & gravy which I love. The eggs and bacon are always perfectly cooked. While I stick to my staple my wife branches out a lot. Burgers, zucchini, fries, waffles, chicken fried steak, pancakes. She's tried a lot and is always happy. Come for breakfast, lunch, dinner. You won't leave unhappy. Weekend mornings are usually busy but service is quick and the runners are efficient with coffee and soda refills and checking on you during your meal.

Waffle with strawberries, a side of hashbrowns, and bacon.

Back again! It's been a while, but I was still pleased with the quick service. My mom really enjoyed her Cobb salad and my friend enjoyed her omelet. I of course enjoyed the lovely strawberry waffle!

Always a great place for brunch! Good food and good service! Grab a table and know your number!

2 Pancakes

Great breakfast spot. The food was great. They are very generous with their portions so be ready to stuff your face :) I'm mad I really thought I took a pic of my food :( I only took a pic of my pancakes. I ate an omelette which was delicious. Pancakes were also very good! The service was awesome. Friendly staff & very attentive. The place is very clean they do have private parking and street parking is also available.

I eat here more than I should. So many good choices. Today was a cheddar cheese and jalapeño omelet, hash browns and grilled rye toast. So filling - had to take half home. The service is always top notch. Even though you order at the counter, they always come by your table to make sure everything is OK and if you need anything.

Salad

Highly recommend the rib eye steak dinner 10/10. A co-worker recommended me here and they blew my mind. Great price the service was great and the place is so clean and newly remodeled. Great place all around

French toast bacon  and eggs  really good   I love to come here, fast service and great customer service!!!!

Lately I have noticed a very big change in terms of service, they receive you very kindly and very attentive as to whether you are missing something or want more coffee, etc etc!!! Well done TOM's Team

Double burger
Peter D.

Friendly face greeted me, looking for a cheeseburger to see if it is good enough to talk or write about, quick answer not really but the name Tom's Family stuck with me, prices are decent I'd say family affordable! Liked the Pasadena based murals do if you have friends that live nearby snd you don't want to break the bank yeah sure . One quibble , didn't like the cheese they use.

WOW! What a Deal!. Everything was fantastic, prepared and presented very well. I'd give it all a 10+ Excellent service by excellent people and the Ambiance is very welcoming.

Club Sandwich
Maggie C.

This place always hits the spot -- I love club sandwiches and theirs is pretty tasty. Bacon could've been a bit more crispy but delicious nonetheless

Burgers just as good can be found at the other top places in Pasadena. Tom's is easily the best diner we've come across on our travels.

Is breakfast served all day long?

Yep. I have gotten omelets for dinner several times. And they are awesome!

How is the parking?

Tom's has their own parking lot, with plenty of free parking. There is also street parking, in case the parking lot gets full.

What's your favorite dish?

so far I have to say the pork chops. I asked them to burn my chops cuz I like them crunchy and they did. I thought my chops were delicioso

Is it a drive thru?

Yes, there is a drive-thru and there's lots of seating for dining in too.

I've been a big fan of Menocino Farms ever since I tried them in Marina del Rey many moons ago…read more Lots of healthy food options and I usually gravitate to a favorite salad and a favorite sandwich so it comes down to what I'm in the mood for until those items get removed from the menu. Right now, my favorites are the Thai Mango salad and Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich. But, I really miss the Sophisticated Chicken and Prosciutto salad and hope it can come back on the menu. And... include the Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad while they're at it.

Got the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada ($16.20) and I have to admit I was hesitant to spend…read morethat much on a salad! However, it's one of their most popular items so I had to try it! It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

This café in old town Pasadena has been around since 1984. I personally have been going there for…read moreat least 16 years as it was down the street from my previous office. There are so many Middle Eastern cafés and restaurants in town, but this one always stood out to me. It is extremely fresh and flavorful they make the food after you order and Service is warm and friendly. The quality has never wavered and trust me, I have eaten here many times. I enjoy their pressed wraps, but especially love the fries. I am picky about fries, but these are always made to order and always just perfect. It has a Middle Eastern seasoning on it which you can opt to leave off. I love them with a dipping sauce of spicy tahini, which they will provide if you ask. You can of course get it non-spicy as well. Their menu can satisfy many different diets including vegetarian/vegan, keto/low carb, pescatarian and meat eaters It's just extremely reliable and high-quality and I plan on continuing to be a regular customer.

We have also enjoyed their foole soup, peppers, baklava, hummus, and garlic sauce. Especially for Old Pasadena, the prices are very reasonable, and a good value with large portions. Unfortunately, our most recent order was not very good. The produce did not seem as fresh, the lavash was drier and falling apart (it didn't have the elasticity that it normally does), the falafel was very dry and flavorless, and the seasoned fries were plain. Some of the small containers of garlic sauce and hummus were also missing. We recognize that even good places have bad days every once in a while. Hopefully it was a one-off, and not an indicator of lower quality or less attention to detail.

The girl taking our order was very sweet, but I must have missed the part when she said the drinks are picked up at the counter. When we received our food, we asked about the beverages - the waiter mentioned those are picked up at the counter. The barista was kind enough to remake the espresso shot for my friend since it had been sitting out for over 10+ minutes :) The food is tasty! We sat outside (perfect weather - overcast) and we shared an order of the avocado toast and the French toast plate. Good coffee, great portions with aligned price points.
