    We came here for breakfast, ordering a variety of breakfast foods amongst 5 of us. It was all pretty basic stuff, tasted good and what have not. The food all came out about the same time and in a timely manner. Service was also good. Breakfast foods are generally pretty basic, thus the 3 stars (acceptable with no issues). I would return here for breakfast again. The "real" overall review will be once we eat here for lunch or dinner. I'll revisit this review once we do that.

    Wow.....

    Big Tom's is a diner that has a small town feel. Everyone is so friendly. The decor is filled with photos of Elvis and the like. The chicken is AMAZING. I get the chicken and biscuit which is covered in a country gravy. My husband got the Big Tom's Breakfast. I recommend dining here for breakfast or dinner. Yum!

    We've been driving past this place for weeks and decided to give it a try. We came in at 6pm on a Friday night. It looked full but were able to be seated right away. We started off with fried okra as an appetizer. They were fried perfectly and the ranch dressing was yum. Move on to our main meals, I ordered the shredded beef wrap with cole slaw and my husband the country fried steak meal. We begin eating and we're happy with our choices. It's not over the top delicious but it was good. The beef in my wrap was a little on the plain side. Definitely needed some sauce on it. Luckily there was a single option (A1) on the table because our waitress didnt offer any bbq sauce options. My husband takes another bite of his and says I don't think this is mine. The waitress comes over to ask how things are going and I say, I think you brought my husband someone else's plate, he ordered country fried steak and it's chicken. She said no, that's how I put it in. (??) She said she thought he asked for country fried chicken but didn't offer to correct it. My husband not wanting to make a big deal about it told her it was OK. It was still good and he was fine with it. We got sweet tea for drinks and it tasted watered down. Move on to dessert (banana pudding) and that, was very good. The guy (I guess the manager) seemed nice. Was at the front desk acknowledging and greeting each guest that came in. The restaurant was full (more mature crowd) so I expected we would've had a better experience. I think if we had a different waitress, one that was more attentive, it may have changed my perspective on the whole dining experience. Our waitress, although she tried to be nice never even introduced herself. Like I said, the food wasnt bad, maybe we just went in on an off day. I don't know. Maybe we'll try again some time.

    Waffle, and Country Benedict.

    Seated right away (before 8 am, it gets really busy later on). Basic atmosphere but very clean. Service was prompt, coffee came quick and refills were frequent. The Country Benedict (over biscuits with sausage) was substantial and tasty, the waffle was good but cooked easy (I should have ordered it "crisp" or well done), and the grits were creamy. Over all, we'll done, and priced well! All that food, with coffee, for $24! I'll be back!

I am bummed they are closed on Monday, as I only work in the area M/F but I did finally get the chance to pop by on Friday before noon and they were already sold out of their plan sourdough loaves! Not sure if the AC was broken but it was a bit warm inside-all the ACs in Florida struggle in the summer though, and there is also some shaded outdoor seating. I helped myself to a spinach and onion croissant and a breakfast cookie and promptly ate both. The cookie was chewy and hearty and delicious! The croissant filling was delicious, and I ate half of it cold, it was so tasty but warmed up it was even better. I haven't had a chance to try the coffee yet but looking forward to it, maybe next Friday morning if I'm lucky!

I got the butterfly gin drink again and as always, it is 10 out of 10. It isn't too sweet and it packs a punch. My husband got an old-fashioned and enjoyed it. For our Mains, I got the pear salad, which was great. I didn't add any protein because my younger son got the grilled chicken kids meal with french fries. He only eats half the chicken so I got the other half. My older son got buttered noodles and a side of fries. It was very good as well, he liked the buttered noodles, but stopped halfway through, so I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses another dish next time. He does love the fries. My husband got the chimichurri steak which he should get every single time because it is delicious and my younger son eats a ton of it as well. This time he got the vegetable of the day and mashed potatoes as his sides and enjoyed both. Parking is a breeze because there is a lot of nearby street parking. It is only about 15 minutes away from LEGOLAND, so I highly recommend if you're in the area skip all the chain restaurants and come here instead.

She had the Breakfast Burger with fries and I went with the skirt steak and eggs. Both were excellent. The steak was cooked right and the whole plate came together well. Service was a little slow, which kept this from being a perfect visit. We also happened to be seated near one extremely loud patron, which made the room harder to enjoy, though that is obviously not the cafe's fault. Even with the slow service, the quality of the food is what matters and Lucille's delivered. We would come back.

We went on the site ahead of time and our wait list wait was less than what they estimated. I felt like that was a win. Also, our server was both attentive and pleasant and they were super slammed this Father's Day morning. And I need to back track just a little, because that first cup was really good and then they brought out a new pot of the First Watch dishwasher coffee that I have grown accustomed to. So there is that. We ordered two has meals. I got the summer special hash which had a Mexican inspired theme. The flavors were great, especially the queso. The meal was a tad above room temperature which had me thinking it had been sitting. Especially because the over easy eggs were luke warm. The other hash was about the same. Overall the food was not so good, especially for the price. But it was edible and I finished mine and it filled me so mission accomplished. Honestly though no where near amazing and other than it's uniqueness, a visit to Denny's or IHOP would have done just as good and for about a little over half the price. Still though our server was Dynamite and if it weren't for her I would be giving two stars instead of three. If the coffee didn't revert back to its weak state, it might have almost pushed it over 3 starts. Alas, here is where we are.

The outside patio is beautifully decorated with lights, tables and chairs and greenery with foliage to create that natural outdoor vibe. When you enter, it's like walking into a small home where you greeted and seated by a hostess or server. There's a main great room and 2 smaller rooms that have seating as well and ambiance lighting throughout for intimate gatherings. The bathrooms are clean and fully stocked with necessities. As for the food, I got the Brussel sprouts salad without goat cheese which was delicious . It was about the size of my fist for $13. I assumed it was more of a tasting menu. My mother got the gnocchi which was described as delicious but lukewarm in temperature. She loved the beet salad however and the side of sour dough bread. My dad got a 13oz steak with potato purée. His steak was good in flavor however he described it as a bit too tough, and could have been more tender. Since he is a retired chef of 40 years I value his input. My other family members ordered the egg yolk ravioli which seemed a bit of a strange combination but certainly worked out in flavor. The labneh that was with the beet salad was also paired and eaten with the sourdough bread which seemed to be a great idea. Unfortunately the bolognese pasta was not tender enough for my family's liking. If you like pasta that way then you should be just fine. Over all it was fine dining and good. If you would like to go to a place where the portions are a bit larger I would suggest another place. But this is a nice casual dining intimate place for any special small occasion. Last but not least, Beth our server was kind and sweet. She was patient and very accommodating with great table manner and should certainly be recognized for her gracious nature and hospitality.
