Tommy's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

This was my birthday breakfast and it was so good! Tommy's is a cute little 50's diner. I loved the checkerboard floor and the records on the ceiling. The place is a bit dated and could use some fresh updates to the decorating, but it was still charming, comfortable seating, had tv to watch...but was VERY hot inside. My trip to Kingston fell, of course, during that heat dome event...and I already HATE summer and hot weather. The temperature in the restaurant wasn't terrible but I was sweating. Turned out to be worth it. They have a full bar and Laura, my server, made me a pineapple mimosa on request. She looked to be handling the fairly busy place by herself with help from I believe the owner or manager. She handled everything very well and wasn't too busy to tell me Happy Birthday (I had on a shirt and she was one of the few people who did) and chat a bit and be friendly. I appreciated that. She was obviously very hot running inside and out to the patio tables, but she maintained her composure and worked very hard. I ordered the breakfast poutine and they added the pulled pork to it when I asked. I also got a side of the baked beans. The fries were very fresh, crispy and tender. There were scrambled eggs, fresh crumbled bacon, cheese sauce and that glorious pulled pork on top. I really enjoyed this dish. Great idea, breakfast poutine! While eating I got to speak the owner (I believe she was). She was from Arizona so we are both dual citizens. We had a good talk about Dump decimating the US. The owner is a very liberal, accepting, kind person. Makes you feel good to support businesses run by compassionate people. The service was great. Food was phenomenal. Yes, the beans were so tasty too. Kind staff. Cute decor. I am returning to Kingston in October and will definitely be stopping in at Tommy's again. Fantastic diner food! read more

We showed up starving after an open mic night. Had the Stoner Fries. Perfect dinner!!

I ordered the deep-fried pickles and corn dogs, and they were just okay. The pickles weren't as crispy and breaded as I expected, and the corn dogs were pretty standard. What keeps me coming back, though, are the milkshakes! I always go for the strawberry chocolate or banana chocolate, and they're consistently delicious every time! read more

My family and I wanted a snack after our 1000 island cruise, and we saw that this place had different types of poutine. We had the Smoked Highet and also the Classic Poutine but with onion rings. They both satisfied our hunger, but the onion rings got too soggy because they put too much gravy over it. Probably wouldn't order it again. The Smoked Highet was good because the brisket was well stewed, but there was very little meat. I liked their Classic Caesar though, since I love Bloody Marys. I would say Tommy's is a place to satisfy the munchies, but don't expect anything more than that. read more

I went to Tommy's last Sunday and ordered a burger. The bun was soaked to where the bottom bun was utterly non-existent, and the top bun was marginally better. Additionally, the music was too loud, and the song selection was poor, definitely not something thematic with a diner. Finally, our waiter checked up on us a whole three times while we were there. The first was to see if we found the online menu (which takes the feel out of going to a restaurant and getting a menu handed to you. Furthermore, the selections were terrible). The second was to ask what we wanted to order. The third was to get our bill. We got no water refills, and they did not ask once how the food was. When I went to ask where the bathroom was, they were talking to their coworker while I was standing directly in front of them, attempting to get their attention. I gave up and found it on my own I have never written a review for a restaurant before. I do not like tattletales, but this was abhorred service and food quality. read more

Very popular with students. By the time we left, the place was full and we were decades older than every single person there. They've got a great menu with lots of interesting items on the menu like beer battered fish and chips with lime and pepper chips added to the batter. You can even get perogies as a side. Our waitress was very pleasant and service was good but my buffalo chicken wrap didn't have a whole lot of chicken in it and it was ok but nothing great. My husband rated his avacado toast a 3 out of five as well. read more

1st time visiting this place had a lot of good reviews so thought we'd check it out. Have to say, not impressed bacon was soaking in grease, homefries suggy, oily and tasteless. Asked, for eggs over easy soft, came yokes hard and dry. Would I recommend or visit again? Don't think so it is mediocre at best. Unsatisfied customers read more

Been here a few times, this was my first time sober though. The food is well priced and they have some really creative dishes. The server was nice and the restaurant itself was clean. The music was super loud though and I didn't really get the theme, they should work on their play list. Overall it was a really good meal in a very retro designed diner. read more

A great classic breakfast dinner. Super cute. Great service. Everyone is super friendly. Very clean. The food was delicious.

"There were lots of young folks inside, some hip-hop music and social seating. The walls were lined with Harley posters, old Coke ads and other vintage signs." "We walked past the humming booth tables on a vintage checkered floor towards the foosball table to practice our shots. No coins needed!" Just a few bites from our full experience.. read more

We had the most amazing time! We had the best server, Katie H. She was friendly, accommodating, cheerful, and we loved her! The food was great too! read more

I'm writing this review as I wait for our server to grace us with her presence. We've been waiting for about 20 minutes for her to check in on us since we finished our meal long ago and have been trying to flag someone down for the cheque. We ordered a $10, mediocre sweet potato poutine. You could get something much better for half the price next door at The Pita Grill. I can understand the appeal of a late night diner that offers all-day breakfast, but they need to work on their service. I probably won't be coming back until they do. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on our first day in Kingston and the food was definitely comfort food. There's an extensive menu so I'm sure even the pickiest eaters could find something they'd like. The wait staff were really nice as well. read more

Wow! Wow wow wow! We drove into Kingston just looking for a diner, not thinking much of it, as a way to cap off our nearby cottage trip (and maybe also recover from a hangover). The food was excellent, exactly what we needed, I got eggs benny's and huevos rancheros and it slapped, washed down with a spicy caeser and a boozy coffee. Have not enjoyed a meal as much in a while. However, by far the best part of the meal. Our server, Alicia, was incredibly attentive and a pleasure to talk with (she even switched into french unprompted to fit our francophone crowd). What meal, many emotions: joy, fear and I think I even fell a little in love with the place. I know where I'll be going next time I'm in Kingston. read more

Peep the daily specials otherwise I wouldn't make the trek to Tommys. We came on a Monday where it's BOGO apps which was tight--me and my friend could justify a $17 platter of nachos if we were getting 2. The nachos were banging, and I had a disgusting amount left over. Server was nice and doesn't try to get jalapeño face with questions. One downside was the board games they have laid out which are missing pieces and covered in rotten food which was kinda rancid--one tip is to either have someone routinely clean the games or to just remove them. All these friends and u still playing games read more

Always friendly staff makes everyone feel welcome! I hit Tommy's nearly every Sunday morning with my 5 year old daughter. They have toys for the kids and cartoons playing on the televisions. Old timey music to complete the diner vibe. Late night on the weekends Tommy's turns into a bit of a pub. Good friends, Good muisic and daily food specials keep me happy.

Tommy himself grabbed a menu out of my hands that I was actively reading to give to some girl he was talking to beside me. That was neat.

This was so good, I don't know how it only has 3 1/2 stars. My family and I walked about 15 minutes to get here and it was so worth it. The environment is very friendly, and the food is great. If we come back to Kingston, we will definitely come back here!! read more

This place was okay. Pretty much what I expected. The food was nothing spectacular but it was more than acceptable. Decor is fun with '50s diner type music. We went for breakfast. It came quickly. Portions were not small but not the humungous plates that you get lots of places. Tea was terrible though. So don't waste your money. read more

Went to Tommy's for lunch with a group of 6, seated in a great both just perfect. Waitress was awesome, bubbly and attentive. Everyone had something different and all enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend the Stinky Burger blue cheese, garlic and onions cooked to perfection... been thinking about going back all week. read more

A student favourite when it comes to breakfast and brunch. The entire menu provides great value for your money. Where else can you get breakfast 24/7 on weekends? read more

Tommy's is the hangover cure. It's conveniently located in the hub (on Princess Street) and offers decent/standard prices for students. Late nights expect this place to be crowded with rowdy and drunk people, still one of my go-to places, but don't expect anything fancy. Sticky tables and plastic cups, but whose to complain when I came there for onion rings, mozzarella sticks and sweet potato fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds. Tommy's is a gem. read more

We sat outside and waited ten minutes before I went inside and asked if they were serving outside. There was four tables and 4-5 girls working. "Absolutely" I'm told, we walk back outside sit at the table blonde gives us menus and wanders back inside. No drink orders or anything, we wait some more another ten minutes for her to stop twirling her hair and talk about her night drinking with the other servers. Food came quick it was awful, after waiting another 20 min bitching no drink refill nothing I went in paid the bill and left. We will never return and let everyone know about the worst service we've ever received. Place could be better with all new WORKING staff read more

I've gotta say I'm kinda disappointed. This place has great food but most of the staff does not at all care about providing a good experience. They have a very ineffective contact tracing policy that does use a qr system and in itself is very easy to use but you will often be forced to input your info more than once because your server will not just wait at the table to see the checkmark. They leave and in the time it takes them to return it resets. Meaning you have to not only multiple times but also your device is held hostage during this because doing anything else will cause it to reset. Not at all helped by the fact that you also need your device to view a menu so you can't even see what there is to eat until your server gets thier ish together. Every other restaurant uses a qr code at the door so the guest only has to input once or they use pen and paper. Its taking far too long for this establishment to realize thier error and that kinda bound down to complacency. At the end of the day people come in and spend money so as long ad that keeps happening who cares? read more

Caesars for $3.50 on Sundays + greasy, reasonably priced food = a fantastic hangover cure. Cool retro diner feel. Don't whine about the beer selection; it's not that kind of place. The breakfast poutine is awesome. read more

First time customer to tommys. Had hight expectations for this place. Had heard great things about tommys. Being from out of town we choose Tommy's over a couple other spots. It was my wife's birthday and she picked tommy's. We stopped in Wednesday morning just after 11am and it was quite 1 other table at the time. We were excited about the menu. I love trying different beers and was excited to try the tommy guns draft. So our drink order was taken then I was told sorry we no longer carry that anymore. I did however enjoy my second choice. Was the best part of it all. So now for the food. My wife was super excited to try the Mikey b's eggs Benny .I was really excited to try the Guinness pulled pork omelette. So our order was taken. Who by the way was one of the owner's and honestly was a little over the top. Trying a bit too hard. So he then comes back to let me know sorry we are out of pulled pork till Thursday! .Well being the owner you might think he would no this ahead of time! .Needless to say we are not off to a great start! .I then choose the taco omelette which was dry and not to much flavor to it so I thought I would ask for some hot sauce Frank's always makes things better. So I asked for hot sauce a couple of minutes passed by and no sauce. So I start eating and still not overly busy. Finally after being over halfway finished i received my portion cup of hot sauce. My wife's eggs Benny were nothing special either. Honestly the toast and beans were the best part. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place or ever return. read more

Friendly people, great food, old school diner feel. And you can't beat some of the scenery walking around. One of the best late night food spots! read more

Been here several times. The vibe of the place doesn't fit the American diner layout. Too loud. I've had to ask for the music to be turned down several times. I wasn't just being picky, the music was just ridiculously loud I couldn't hear the person speaking a foot or so in front of me or the server. The breakfast is overhyped but the burgers are one of the best in the city. They would get much better business if they accepted more than cash and credit. read more

I'm going to keep this brief because I plan to go back for another try. The poutine wasn't bad, onion rings were yummy, chicken caesar wrap was good, seasoning on regular fries was tasty. The prices are debatable, but like I said..I'm going to give it another go and maybe try their famous breakfast I keep hearing about. Neat place though, and fun atmosphere. Will keep you posted on when I go again! read more
