Tommy’s Restaurant

Couldn’t believe I have not been to this place before. Food was super delicious with great price. Service was good. This place will be our go-​to diner from now on.

The food is delicious here but I went here on Thursday found a hair in my food and will not go back here. The food is good here but the restaurant is dirty.

The food is great! Service is great. The space is kind of small so it is a little tight in there. Do not bring a stroller. One waitress ehhhh. Loud and obnoxious. You come in for a nice weekend breakfast and its just annoying. I find it strange that the manager doesn’t say anything about her behavior. But hey I don’t own the business so…

Meh! that’s all I’ll say. I’ve had better food and service at other joints. The last time I was there, I found a hair in my toast, brought it to the owner’s attention. She didn’t seem concerned or apologetic at all about the finding. I wasn’t offered a clean toast or a credit wasn’t even considered. I am not coming here again, I rather take my business elsewhere. Bye!

Great food!
We ordered delivery and my food was still piping hot. I’ll be back!

Perfect Breakfast! I never ate a bacon omelette so quickly with fabulous potatoes on the side and buttery toast! Staff was great and friendly and brought that check at the end before I asked! Can’t wait to bring the kiddies with me next time!

had to kill a few minutes in a neighborhood i am totally unfamiliar with… so i consulted Unilocal!found tommy’s close by and what a stroke of luck it was to walk in there! perfect diner coffee… delicious breakfast… great service!

Good place to get your diner fix. The food is yummy and the staff are very nice. The coffee is good too. It’s a no frills small diner that packs a punch.

I love tommys breakfast! I always get their corned beef and hash, it’s the best I’ve ever had! It’s a neighborhood place so there are regulars and staff knows a lot of people by first name. They’re very friendly, and I love their coffee as well!

Diners that deliver? YES PLEASE!
Sometimes on a Saturday afternoon in the Heights, when it’s cloudy and grey and you don’t feel like putting real clothes on there are little miracles. That day Tommy’s was my saving grace, bringing me a huge mushroom, onion, cheese omelette with perfectly cooked potatoes and whole wheat toast already buttered. It was a very large omelette and I’m surprised I ate the whole thing. A little on the drier side (hate runny omelettes) onions and mushrooms sautéed and folded into American cheese and egg. And how the potatoes were perfected salted and crunchy I don’t know but I loved it. The other lazy person in the room ordered a grill cheese on rye with a side of bacon and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him eat so fast.
Nothing fancy about it but when you deliver food that is not soggy or cold and tastes like you were in the restaurant you get good points with me.

Love the food & they go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with their service when you arent satisfied. Thats what makes customers keep coming back.

Delicious food, wait times are a bit longer than I would want but I can roll out of bed and have a hearty meal. French toast is amazing and omelette’s are well served. Overall I would recommend it, the alternative is The Coachhouse dinner on the JCH border with Union City and I have to drive there because they won’t deliver.

When it comes to breakfast it’s one of my fav if you order delivery it always comes so fast or if your going in to have a bite ask for Sandra she will have you laughing the whole time

Tommy’s is a family restaurant. You know how sometimes your family makes food that’s unimpressive, but simple, and it works? While arguing in the kitchen about who-​knows-​what? That’s Tommy’s. This is the kind of place where about half the people coming in the door seem to get a hug. Where the wait staff remembers what the kids liked last time. Where the 10 year old coming in the door has baby pictures posted on the wall. The back half is full of old men who I only assume are widowers, since I’ve seen them every time I have ever been in, or past, the place. Like a lot of family restaurants, Tommy’s has served as a family for these guys. That’s what a family restaurant does. Today I watched two older ladies complain about somebody’s wife’s ravioli for what must have been an hour over 50 cents worth of tea. Tommy’s would never push them out, because this a family restaurant and they respect these ladies. That’s a family restaurant.
Tommy’s doesn’t get five stars for the food. Or five stars for the service. Tommy’s gets five stars because it’s Tommy’s. And just like your grandma, it doesn’t matter what you think about Tommy’s — it never even crosses your mind to judge it. You have to love it.

This is a great little diner spot! I’m embarrassed to say as a JC-​native that this was my first time here. But I’m really glad I came. I ordered the turkey BLT wrap with fries and a slice of the chocolate cream pie. Everything was delicious! The wrap was slightly buttery from toasting it on the grill but it was still pretty dang awesome. Best of all, they weren’t stingy with the turkey. The fries were really crispy and perfectly fried! And the chocolate cream pie tasted homemade! Sweet and creamy, but not cloying.
My husband usually orders their cheeseburgers or the corned beef hash with eggs, toast and home fries. The burger is cooked well-​done but not dry. It’s tasty and filling. My husband is not a fan of home fries but I’m sure you can request French fries as a substitute if you’re not into that either. The corned beef is really satisfying! It’s fresh corned beef, not the canned stuff! My husband’s only complaint is that they need to leave it on the griddle for a few minutes longer so there’s some crispy bits in there.
Maria, the woman who took care of us during my first meal there, was a sweetheart! Can’t complain about the service. My husband and I couldn’t but help notice that she knew everyone else in the diner. Through the whole meal, people either popped in off of Central just to say hello to her or left bidding Maria a good night or saying «See you tomorrow Maria!» I guess we all want to feel like Norm some of the time.

I wanted breakfast for lunch so i called ahead of time to make sure they did… looks tight when you walk in, but what a gold mine of a find for a place to grab great food… alot of space in the back… place had a lot of customers but enough seating to sit more… they had booths to the left, counter seating to the right… decent prices and great breakfast… i paid $ 14.15 i believe for sunny side up eggs, taylor ham, breakfast potatoes, orange juice, toast, and pancakes… ate everything, i dont waste food on this side lol #fatboyproblems…all and all great place to eat local…

Really great, traditional diner breakfast. The French toast was fluffy and rich in the perfect way. Home fries are heavenly and omelettes are big. Bacon was perfectly cooked and portions are large (like you expect from a diner.) Have had breakfast sandwiches to go before as well and they are my favorite so far for The Heights.
I do have to say that the corned beef hash wasn’t ideal– it could have been crispier and more flavorful. The coffee was also less than awesome and for me, at a diner, that is disappointing.
Staff is friendly and often humorous. Service is fast and prices are super affordable.
Overall I still love the place and will certainly frequent more and recommend to others. Can’t wait to try their dinners!

Disappointed I ordered a medium rear steak it was cooked well done it had no seasoning or flavor I asked if they had mixed veggies because on the menu it shows mixed veggies they all started laughing and speaking in another language. The vegetables I did eat were over cooked and brown not appetizing at all with again no flavor and bland. The salad that my meal came with was old and brownish ot looked like it was mixed with new and old lettuce.
I gave two stars because I feel bad for the place.

Small old school diner vibe in the Heights and they DELIVER!!!
Standard diner fare that you will find anywhere. The quality of the food is great with prices to match. The service is almost from another time. You will be looking for Flo when you walk in there. Very friendly.
I love the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwiches, the gyros, the burgers, the fries, and my favorite– Meatloaf sandwich… Pancakes are pretty damn good as well…
And if I didn’t say it before– THEY DELIVER… Can’t express in words how awesome that is.
Have Fun

I should’ve left my positive review when I first came here, and left it at that. Unfortunately, my most recent experience here was not a pleasant one. Let me start off by saying this … there is nothing wrong with the food here. It’s your typical diner menu with everything from subs to pancakes (and everything in between). My fiancé loves the meatloaf. The paninis are pretty good, but I always stick with my disco fries, which are actually pretty great here. I have to give credit where it’s due.
Now, onto my issue. The service here, or lack thereof, is awful. The staff is friendly for the most part, but unbelievably inattentive. I almost never care about things like this, but it is a serious problem at this joint. I’ll make a list:
1) We were never given utensils and actually had to remind our waitress to give them to us.
2) She never checked to see if we needed drink refills (which we did). In fact, we had to ask the CHEF, because it seemed as if she was actively ignoring us.
3) I asked for sauce on the side instead of on the sandwich. She brought it to me and said, «They forgot to put the sauce on the side, but it’s okay, right?» (No, it WASN’T okay, and I wish I had the balls to have said so at the time. I knew I wouldn’t like the sauce.)
4) We asked for the check and she hung behind the counter chatting it up with a coworker instead of bringing it to us. We watched as she continued for talk for about 5 minutes, before my fiancé had enough and got up to request it again.
While we are NOT the type of people to not leave a tip, regardless of the circumstances, we were very close that day. To sum it up, I’m not saying that I’ll never eat there again (I’m sure I will), but I’ll be sure to just have it delivered in the future.
