    Peanut butter cookie  Macadamia cookie Bacon & sausage, Egg Burrito everything included  Green and red salsa
    Franky L.

    Great customer service, free coffee with the purchase of a breakfast burrito, A very-well maintained location. Light traffic, small parking lot, no street parking, average noise, closed caption on tv. Been here a few times, no complaints about this place so far. The cooks and Servers keep the place clean.

    Brownie cookie, the size of a child's face!

    I found myself in the area as I dropped my daughter off at school. I was craving a char burger and stumbled upon Tom's, 3 minutes away from Coastline Community College. I pulled right up to the drive-thru speaker and was greeted by a kind voice, I placed my order, it was repeated to me perfectly, then I was invited to pull up to the window to pay and receive my food. As I got to the window I saw a big display on the wall advertising housemade cookies, with a good variety of flavors to choose from. And once the sweet woman came to the window I asked her about the cookies, she was excited to share with me that they are homemade and quoted me the price for them. The price was a little more than expected, so I only asked to add one to my order, the brownie cookie. I was a little concerned paying more than $5 for a cookie, but holy smokes when she handed me the cookie, I was pleasantly surprised. That thing was HUGE! It smelled amazing (and tasted amazing too!) I ordered the Jr Cheeseburger Combo, it was well made and a great value for the price. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely consider stopping here again, if not for the burger and fries, but absolutely to try more of their delicious cookies and wonderful service.

    Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Special
    Jay W.

    We always drive by this spot and decided to check it out one day. This place is a very small diner and it's always packed usually during breakfast and lunch. Walked in and the menu is huge. We decided to get the biscuits and gravy breakfast special and try the chorizo and egg breakfast plate. The service was great and the ambiance is very fast paced. Starting with the biscuits and gravy. It was on social for 8.99' and you got a choice of bacon or sausage, 2 biscuits and gravy, and 2 eggs to order. The biscuits was fluffy, hot, and soft. The gravy had lots of flavor. Everything about the plate was good. I gotta give it a 5/5. The chorizo and eggs breakfast could use alittle love, but they packed that plate to the brim. It's almost enough to feed two people. The chorizo and eggs could use alittle more seasonings overall I give it a 4.3/5. I def would come back here. They're known for their breakfast burritos and I see why, they are FAT!

    Lettuce white bread sandwich
    Me M.

    BLT add avocado was SLOPPY, a complete fail and rip off. $12 a sandwich, Sprouts offers the same for $7.99. I used the drive thru, and at the last moment, the cashier at the window asked the cook about the avocado only to discover he did not put any on the sandwich. I drove off thinking I would enjoy this sandwich, only to be completely disappointed and questioning why did this happen? The sandwich was more lettuce and bread than anything. On one side of the sandwich one piece of bacon. On the other side a couple quartered slices barely equaling a full slice. I will never return here because it is not worth the money, time or frustration when a store down the street creates a gorgeous looking BLTA

    Off menu, chicken fried steak sandwich, so good!!
    Bryce M.

    Did you know they had a chicken fried steak sandwich? I just learned that today and had to go by there to test drive it. I would absolutely order it again, it was incredible!!

    Great service, friendly staff. Deals on food/drinks, prices are reasonable and fast pace. The food was filling and made fresh. Tons of tables for inside and outside. Came here for breakfast with the hubby and he liked it a lot.

    Christina K. H.

    This place is perfect if your looking for that old school greasy spoon type food and atmosphere . The people are friendly and welcoming , the food is hot and really good , the service is quick and the portions are like we were once used to getting and the prices are reasonable considering. Make sure you grab some extra napkins !

    Love Tom's place, especially the breakfast burrito. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. One of my go-to spots. Definitely recommend!

    Breakfast burrito with salsa. Split it with my husband.

    Satisfied! Hit the spot. Breakfast Burrito after a morning surf. Service is friendly and laughs at my husband's jokes.

    So clean inside and out!
    Mariah N.

    Stopped by early this morning and this place never dissapoints! The best burritos in town

    Pastrami Burger Plus bacon and cheese, with extra mayo. Good! Fries were freshly cooked to order. Next time I'll ask for fries well done.

They've been around for a couple years but the enthusiasm continues unwaveringly, which is great to see! Let him know if something is not right and he'll make it right, right away. Excellent customer service! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Their Billy Cakes aka Rolled Oat Pancakes are the star of the show. It seems like they mix some oatmeal into the pancake batter. I got the cinnamon which comes with homemade cinnamon butter on top. You don't need syrup. In fact next time I'll ask for a little extra cinnamon butter. I also tried a regular pancake with blueberries. That was equally awesome. I ordered the 2 + 2 + 2. The bacon was phenomenal. High quality with a nice subtle smokiness. My over easy eggs were too easy, so next time I'll ask for over medium. The Pastrami Breakfast Tacos were perfect. Again very high quality meats. I loved the Pastrami. The scrambled egg was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were seasoned with too much Cumin for my taste. The owner said they're constantly experimenting and evolving the flavors. I'm looking forward to the next iteration of the potatoes. The coffee was nice and bold. I can't wait to come back!

I ordered the buttermilk pancake and the chicken Caesar wrap and OMG -- both were amazing! The restaurant is also super cute inside, has a good amount of seating, a great menu, and really friendly service. I'll definitely be back! Just be prepared that there may be a wait... and maybe don't show up hangry like I did.

    Busy Saturday at peak brunch time, but we were greeted and seated quickly…read more The environment was casual-chic with a focus on chickens (eggs?), and the space was well laid out and easily navigable. The food was excellent. We had the protein omelette and the breakfast burrito. The protein omelette was strong, and the Jurassic pork (sweet and savory seasoned bacon) stole the show there. Toast and fruit was well made and fresh. The burrito was where things went to the next level. Steak AND bacon in a burrito in this economy? Unbelievable. It was so rich and heavy I almost couldn't finish it. They didn't overcompensate for a lack of meat and eggs with a bunch of potatoes. The whole burrito was well balanced in that respect. The beans were excellent, and the cherry on top was the fresh made red chile salsa. It tied the whole experience together perfectly. Finally, the coffee was excellent as well, the only caveat being that we actually got our food before our coffee (only one barista was behind the bar and she was pretty backed up). Wonderful brunch experience, I will be back.

Pretty substantial and filling. Rooster Flight - the menu says choose any 3 french toast or pancakes. But you can't choose any limited-time special pancakes, so just mix and match from the regular menu. I got the brioche French toast, which was buttery. The Churro Pancake was a heavy dose of cinnamon sugar, fair warning. I liked the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake with the cheesecake cream, graham cracker crumbs, and macerated strawberries. Portions are fine for two people. For each flight sold, $1 goes towards their parent company's nonprofit Rise & Shine. Prepare to wait if you go on a weekend. But it was nice sitting on the patio and enjoying brunch on a sunny Saturday.

We asked for one more minute to look over the menu and we didn't see her again for another 10 min -- we were just silently sitting scrolling on our phone before we had even realized we still did not order (since she never came back to check on us) They had indoor and outdoor seating, both were nice and clean with lots of options for larger parties.
