    Spinach and mushroom omelette & hashbrowns w cheese
    Christa F.

    I always have the same order here: spinach and mushroom omelette and they always do a great job. Very friendly and the food is delicious. You can not go wrong with either their grits or hash browns and toast is nice and crispy but they also have biscuits. I'll try lunch/dinner one day, just not sure when.

    Down South bowl. Hashbrowns , eggs, gravy and I think there's peppers and onions too.

    10/10 would recommend. It was booming for a Monday morning and I see why. Parking is ample and I like that you can exit out the back and come out to a light rather than making a left onto Main Street to go home. We were greeted with a smile the moment we walked in. Both the servers we saw were attentive without being too much. Very pleasant. Food was great. Just the right amount of sweet in my bananas foster French toast and he said the perfect amount of savory in his down south bowl. It was a great start to our week and we'll def be back. Love you can get a brunch menu/atmosphere on a weekday.

    Great staff, friendly, helpful, quick. Food is great value for what you get. Place is simple and comfortable. Finally got there when there was no line but 25 minutes later people were lined up out the door. Will be back.

    A Sunday morning, the restaurant was packed and was still seated in a matter of minutes. Service was excellent! The usual diner although it was much quieter and a lot cleaner. I ordered the Tom's breakfast plate which came with a lot of food for $15. My husband ordered the Big Boy breakfast, tenderloin, 3 eggs, grits, toast(sub from hash browns), fresh fruit. The food was served hot and fresh and this is always a win for me! I definitely recommend for anyone look to enjoy a good breakfast.

    Chicken and Waffle: With grilled chicken! (It was fantastic)

    Tom's Place is one of those names I've heard in passing, but honestly never knew where it was and never been here. I didn't realize it was right in the heart of High Point until I was recently searching for a new breakfast place to try. It comes highly recommended, and I can see why! Now let me say: I'm only giving 4 stars for this visit because the food had some room for improvement. However, I honestly believe that most visits here would be 5-star visits and I expect to update my review next time I go and try different menu options. A diner with some modern decor and ample seating, it's easy to seat yourself in a comfortable booth as soon as you walk in. The staff are friendly and promptly greet you. We of course both enjoyed coffees, and I personally thought the mugs were very nice looking. They were a bit smaller than your average diner mug, but they were always kept full with hot refills so this was never a problem. There is a very strong menu offering, and you can also build essentially anything you want even if it's not on the menu. Today, I settled on the Southern Scramble, which is a bowl with a mixture of eggs, sausage, country ham, bacon, hash browns, peppers and onions, and gravy on top. This was a decent combination of flavors and very filling, although the hash browns were over cooked and tough, which took away a bit from the overall picture. It is served with a biscuit and while they look great, I thought it was a bit dry and bland compared to others I've had. I might go for the croissant option next time! My wife got chicken and waffles, but we were interested to learn that grilled chicken was an option to make it marginally more healthy. Was a great choice this was, and the grilled chicken was fantastic. I bet it would be great topping a salad. Of course the malted waffle was great too. It was a solid offering. We're definitely going to be coming back here for breakfasts, because I want to try their omelettes which looked tasty on other tables. Also, the dinner offerings look promising so I plan to try a later day visit as well. This is a great place, even if my first food choice was a bit middling. But I'll certainly be back, and you should try it too!

    Great American Food!

    1st time visit but will not be our last - food , service , atmosphere, price - all more than I expected. Was passing thru on way to Myrtle Beach, looking for place to have breakfast- ( didn't want hotel food ) came across this and thought we'd try it - didn't disappoint- parking lot was full - always good sign - would highly recommend-

    I've admittedly been sleeping on this place, and now I'm regretting it. Tom's place has been around as long as I remember, though until recently, I hadn't visited there since before the time I was Yelping! (and at this point, that's pretty long ago) A decade would not be a stretch, and it looked very different inside then. Now with a nice remodel, the inside feels more comfortable, though there isn't a ton of natural light flowing in (the overhanging roof on all sides is at fault for that, nothing to be done about it). Regardless, I was lured in here by a couple recent reviews from Elites Brian P. and Stephanie V. Brian raved about the burger here, and I cannot just let a chance to try something he labeled one of the best burgers in the area go un-tried by me! Stephanie raved about fish fry fridays, which I something I know I'll have to go back for. This visit was all about getting that burger. My waitress, Eva, was very attentive and recommended going full on with the double bacon cheeseburger. I asked for a side recommendation, thinking I was torn between onion rings and hot chips, but she really recommended the french fries. They were described as a crispy outside and like a mashed potato inside, which is what I love... so I went that direction. My food came out in about 10-15 minutes, and the burger was nice and hot, as were the fries. The fries indeed, perfect texture. They seem to be that very lightly battered kind, which I'm all about. More crunch, perfect interior. They went very well with "the good ranch" that I asked for. Check and check. Brian P was not fooling around. This burger was outstanding! Though not a smashburger, which is my current obsession, the patties had a wonderful brown crust on each side, which is what you really want... hot grill and sealed in flavor. It all married well with two slices of american cheese and two strips of bacon. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion. I removed the tomato, which was a hot house variety (this time of year for sure). It would have been great with no toppings at all to be honest. I would come back just for this! Overall, an excellent experience, and this local place is now back on my radar when I find myself in High Point looking for breakfast or lunch. Thanks Tom's place!

Our waitress was lovely and we simply asked her to take it away and my mom was going to finish her salad. At no point did we ask to get it for free, she simply did not want it as it turned her stomach. A few minutes later this old woman with short grey hair comes over and proceeds to tell my senior mother that she should've told her at the first bite; and that half the burger was eaten. She then said she would put the two raw bites in the middle back on the grill. First of all, two bites were taken, not half the burger. Second of all, who puts a burger back on the grill after it's been eaten- that is nasty. Then! I say something about how rude this woman was after my mother walks out while I'm paying and this woman comes BACK out into the lobby and proceeds to start screaming and cursing at me that she wasn't rude to my MOM. She absolutely was rude. She's a piece of work. I come from a long line of restaurant owners and if you're so hard up that you have to argue with customers about the quality of your food, then maybe it's time to close. The best days of the Blue Zucc are behind them.

    Cagney’s Kitchen High Point - Vegetable omelette w pancakes

    Even with a few closures in recent years, High Point has no shortage of Greek-influenced Southern…read morediners, and that interchangeability is part of why I never felt a strong compulsion to pay Cagney's a visit. Faced with a banana French toast craving, it seemed as good an option as any, and it proved to be better than expected. Cagney's is spacious and seemed even more so as it was largely empty when I stopped by on a Tuesday morning (they likely get considerably busier on the weekends). The menu is big too: breakfast options included plates, omelets, benedicts, pancakes, waffles, and more. Come here later in the day, and you can find everything from salads and sandwiches to Greek to Tex-Mex to pizza. I opted for two pieces of Bananas Foster French Toast with a scrambled egg on the side. Service was fast and friendly, and the kitchen churned out the food quickly. At $8, it was practically a steal and though not the best I've had (it could have used some chopped nuts), it was better than it needed to be for that price point. The banana/brown sugar/whipped cream topping on the French toast made for a sweet bite, and the egg wasn't overcooked. I don't know how Cagney's rates as a lunch/dinner option or during busier times, but for a weekday breakfast, it's well worth your consideration for a good bite at an affordable price.

    Good service and good food. 4.5/5. When in High Point, this is a great place for a quick bite. Our…read morewaitress was informative and friendly. The menu is vast. Many good options. I've tried the buffalo chicken pizza which was surprisingly good. The right amount of spice, crispy crust and generous toppings. Within the group we also had the pork chops. They were much thinner than expected. The two together make 1 decent pork chop. However, they were well seasoned and cooked properly. To be so thin, they were not dry. The waitress recommended the chicken souvlaki platter which was a hit. It's a busy restaurant but luckily we did not have to wait to be seated even on a weekend evening. I'll be going again.
