It has been 4.5 years since I wrote my original review, although we had stopped in here at least 3 other times since that date. It had been about 2 years since our last visit. Nothing has changed for the better regarding the building and furnishings. The bathroom has been tagged to hell by idiots, but outside of that it was clean. Ordered a pastrami sandwich w/ fries and a side of onion rings to split with the wife, who ordered a breakfast plate again. We were both satisfied with the food, maybe with the exception that the fries started to get soft after about 15 minutes. The onion rings were very good and not oily. The young woman working the counter was very friendly. Anyhow, I still stick to my original review (below) overall. read more

We decided to try out Tom's today and they didn't disappoint! Customer service was excellent and the food was delivered quick and good. read more

Mega Tom's Burgers - Steak Bacon and Eggs Plate - Fast Food Near Me - Barstow, California

September 15, 2024. Used to love this place; what happened?! Three of the four stalls in women's restroom were full of paper & .... and very smelly. When I told woman at counter she said, "oh, I told him about that." No A/C, but a giant fan in restaurant. Service was slow, had to keep asking for things. She never gave me my soda. Pastrami meat was dark brown! WTF!? Smelled horrible. Spoiled meat, Should not have been served. Fries were almost raw! Burger smelled funny. Wasted over $28!. We were traveling on a bus so I did not see this until we were on the road. My last time stopping there. Get it together, please!! Looking at past reviews, guess it depends on who's cooking that day!? Sad. read more

Oh boy. Let me tell you what hahaha I was making my way back home from Arizona and really wanted lunch. It's unusual for me to try somewhere I haven't been before. But who doesn't love a burger. First of all the lady taking the order, I don't think she knew a pen from a golf club, because she couldn't take an order to save her life . The cooks in the back we're having more fun talking to each other and play fighting and making food. It smelled like a greasy mess in there like somebody was burning the kitchen now the lobby was dirty and outdated. Let me just end the review by saying, if you're going to stop here, you better be very very desperate for food, because the hamburger patty was more near a hockey puck and dryer than the dirt outside read more

This Burger place deserves it's current 2.5 star rating but there are only two places to eat in the area that aren't large chains so I rounded up. The food was edible but my bun was stale, bacon was overcooked and there was NO salt on any of our fries. The prices aren't great and the parking lot could use some cleaning up as well. If I am coming through the area again, I will try Barstow Burgers. read more

The menudo is the bomb. We have been stopping at Barstow McDonald's station for sometime now and ignored this little gem right next door. One day Barstow was closed due to improvements and we took a chance. Bathrooms were clean and the menudo was definitely the Breakfast of Champions. If you're looking for a change stop at Tom's. read more

Food was inedible, but a great overall experience :) (we saw a dead cat out side, that had been spatchcocked with with pins placed meticulously though out the body) local culture? read more

Very friendly people good service, I would of never stopped here looked empty know I know my favorite stop for our road trips

Toms burgers is such a fun place to stop in and get some fries and a Coke. It is right across from Barstow station. It is just off the 15 N. on your way to Vegas. There is also a travel lodge here read more

This place advertised world famous pastrami sandwich, I don't think it is Barstow famous. It was horrible the bread was the worst. The inside seating was broken booth seats. I recommend to stay away from here read more

We ordered a veggie burger, onion rings, and bean and cheese burrito. Overall good food. The service was excellent, helpful and caring. If i lived here, it'd be a regular spot . Theres also a lot of seating even with the families coming in, so take your time and enjoy the route 66 ambiance while filling up . read more

Not a good experience. I have been buying breakfast burritos from this place for the past two months not ones did they ever make an issue to substitutions. For some reason today I decided to call in an order and got to the place they charged me $31 dollars for two burritos. I asked the person at the counter why it was so expensive and she said they no longer make substitutions. I mentioned to her how come they didn't mention that over the phone and she told me they started doing that recently. I asked how was I supposed to know that, she could have told me that over the phone but didn't. She tried to tell me that the place started doing that because they have to pay bills and I told her I understand but everyone has to pay bills. My issue with this place is that they do not provide any form of communication regarding changes being implemented. Also, once I got home I noticed that they didn't give me the burrito I ordered. I ordered a chorizo bf burrito but they ended up giving me what looks like a bean and cheese burrito. Definitely not gonna be coming back here. read more

We stopped by here on our way back from NB. There are lots of fast food restaurants in the area. But we were hoping to get something a little more hearty and fresh. We actually confused this for a different Tom's franchise. They are definitely not the same. Though everything was cooked to order, it didn't quite deliver on the fresh part. Here's what we got: - Greek Salad - The Greek dressing was very bland, it tasted mostly like oil with no seasoning. There was a fair amount of veggies which was nice. But they included croutons which was not. - Kids chicken strips - The portion size was nice. The chicken strips tasted like they were hand breaded and not like the standard frozen over bartered strips many fast food places serve. Fries were fresh, but unseasoned. -Kids grilled cheese with fried zucchini- This was your average grilled cheese. They gave us loads of zucchini. But it wasn't good. They tasted like they were battered waffle mix or something. They were slightly sweet but unseasoned as well. - Cheese burger - My husband said it was good but nothing special. There's a "drive thru" but no window. So you order from a speaker. But then the ladies working there have to come in and out to take your payment snd bring your food out. It's not like Sonic or something like that. It's just a weird drive thru situation. After their first trip we were going to just go in ourselves and grab the food to try to save them a trip. But the food was ready at the same time and she was already walking out. I don't think that's very safe for the women and they seemed so tired walking back and forth!! Prices were reasonable. For the amount of food that we got, we spend a little over $30. However I wasn't wowed at all by anything that they had there. I don't think I'd stop by again. read more

Good food, good selection, good prices, food prepared well, that's the important stuff. Parking available (even for trucks (semi's), RVs). Much prefer over the tourist trinket shops fast food place next door. Worth a stop if you need quick good food...'Char' Chicken sandwich very good, well worth the price. read more

Yuck .. and there was a rock in my burrito! Never again .. play it safe and just go to McDonald's.

Their food is always great! They have the nicest service. And the best Greek Chicken Salad I've ever had! Opposite, but their fried zucchini is delicious too read more

Lady at the counter was super nice and she said the burger was great but her Gyros are great also. I got the Gyros and it was delicious. Tender meat filed me up good but did not feel heavy at the same time. Love the old look. Gives that old traditional American dinners from the past like the movies. Love it and will stop by again for sure to try the burger. read more

This is right next to a McDonald's, and the burgers are much better. However, I have to say, the restaurant is a bit older, and it needs updating. It gives you a feeling of not being as clean as you would like. The bathrooms are also not great. This all makes for a cautious first impression. That said, there are good-sized tables inside. We appreciated that because we had some planning we were doing and needed room to spread out. The food was very good. We just had burgers and fries, but the burgers were charcoal cooked, and you could really taste the difference compared to frying on a flat top. The fries were also very good, and they provided a huge portion. We could not finish everything. They also have a drive-thru window if you need to grab your food and go. Overall, I would select them over the other fast food options available. read more

Mothers Day.. no wait! Our breakfast was excellent! Large portions, very good food, good prices, fast service. A surprising gem. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but this local business exceeded our expectations. Beat the long wait we saw at Black Bear today! read more

Had 0 flavor not even salt brotha????? Would've been better if it was seasoned not even the meat tastes like anything lmao

This is the perfect place to stop when headed to Las Vegas! They always take care of us. Check out their menu. Also the start is very hard working read more

Toms has been a usual stop on trips to Cali from Vegas since I was a kid. Quality has taken a MAJOR hit. We all got burgers, fries, chili cheese fries. The burgers were dry, no condiments or anything. Toms special sauce always made their burgers, not sure what happened there. They veggies on the burger itself were soggy. The fries were just okay. The restaurant itself was dirty. Tables weren't cleaned, floor had wet spots everywhere, just awful. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms. Todays experience made us super sad, we have always loved toms. Not sure what happened but safe to say we will not be returning. read more

One the best pastrami sanwich i ever had in my travels across the country Nice frendly people and good food at the Barstow location in paticular can speak for the othet location but i will stop here on my way to San Bernadino Everytime read more

Had a pastrami it was good, we usually stop here on way to vegas, place needs a makeover really bad, it is pretty run down

I used to really love this place. We did turnaround trips years ago and our buses stopped here in our way to Stateline, Vegas & Laughlin. The pastrami WAS one of the best. Stopped here on our way home from Vegas yesterday and brought a pastrami home. Tried it today & was very disappointed. I know things have changed, but I would rather the price go up instead of the quality going down. read more

Stopped by here on the way to Vegas. Usually stop at the Barstow station, but wanted to try something new. The Service is quick and the two ladies up Front are super nice. read more

Really nice service and good food what else can you ask for. Reminds me of a San Andreas joint.

Stopped here on the way to Vegas. Wanted actual breakfast instead of McDonald's. Place is out dated. Friendly staff, pretty fast service but omelets and hashbrowns way over cooked!!! Should've stopped at McDonald's read more

Visited this Toms for the first time here in Barstow. The place was extremely clean. It was around 8:00 at night. Yorka the cashier was super friendly. The cook Juan, makes the food fresh, hot, and great tasting! So whatever you're in the mood for, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Stop by and say hello. read more

Coming here over 30 years same great food. This is a perfect greasy spoon. Great pit stop for families.

Horrible customer service. I ordered a club sandwich with the cashier by the name of Isabella and not only did she get my order wrong but still had the audacity to charge me the difference. When I speak to the manager the manger only shrugs her shoulders and says "hmm im sorry" wow! Obviously customer satisfaction is not in their first thought. Not coming back. So sad that a restaurant of this caliber doesn't really care. read more

The food is OK not the best. The prices have gone up for what it is. I called in an order they said it will be ready in 20 minutes. When I got there 20 minutes later I just started cooking my order. And it was completely empty inside the restaurant. I will never go back I don't recommend this place. read more

The young man at the counter said they had the best Pastrami in Barstow. I never thought of Barstow being the Pastrami Mecca of the west coast, but I was willing to give it a try. It was damn good I must say. The fries were a little greasy, but we're still good. Very friendly staff. I will definitely return! read more

It's ll about the fries. Soggy and semi warm. It ruined the meal. Kids burger was ok. read more

Good food and I really appreciate her customer service very friendly people . Thank you

I went here for the first time with my kids. My daughter had the kids chicken strip meal and loved it. My son and I had burgers which unfortunately I would not recommend as the buns were so stale we did not eat them. You would think for a burger restaurant they would at least serve fresh food. They tried covering it up by toasting the buns but they were so hard and not edible. We will not be back. read more

First time here was recommended on our way to Vegas and the food was so good especially the onion rings they are definitely homemade shout-out to the cooks and the staff Yota was so welcoming we will be back for this pastrami burger read more

Stopped in the other day for breakfast, had a sausage egg and cheese burrito and it was very good. So good I returned for another breakfast. The second burrito I had was the combo, sausage, ham, bacon, eggs, cheese, and hash browns, you better be hungry. Really good burrito and really good service, I had the pleasure of talking with the delightful owner Yiota and they are trying to recover from this quarantine so stop in for some good food and service and support local business! read more

We go to Toms when in Barstow! This Place has great burgers and the Staff is very nice and humble. Shout Out to Yota! Shes great! read more

BEWARE they overcharge you. They charge more than the cost on their big menu on the wall. When we told them they added several dollars to the cost, they said WE RAISED THE PRICE, and would not refund the overcharge. I told them that is illegal. They don't care. Too bad, because we like their food. We won't be back. read more
