This is one of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch. The food is amazing. For breakfast, I always get the chicken bacon egg and cheese biscuit. My partner always gets the sausage egg and cheese. I have had both, and both are AMAZING! The biscuits here are BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL! For lunch, the bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and mayo is amazing, but the regular cheese burger is just as great. Recently, they have started offering BBQ plates. Let me tell you, the Brunswick stew is ON POINT, and the BBQ is delicious. The hush puppies are great, as is the slaw. More importantly, the service is always both a delight, and stellar. From the owner behind the register, who always remembers our order, the fist bump, and the great attitude, to all those wonderful ladies preparing the food (and I mean wonderful, jovial, and go beyond the extra mile), this place is a hidden gem. Angie has become like one of our besties, and frankly, they are all great, but her attitude and fun loving self makes every trip there enjoyable! When it comes to ambiance, what you see is what you get. It is a service station grill, but it is always clean, tidy, and welcoming to customers. There is a lot of foot traffic, and always a busy pace in there. Based on the number of folks they are always serving in there, you can tell that others feel exactly as I do about the breakfast and lunch, and more importantly, the service. I do not think any of them in there meet a stranger. You must check this place out! It will certainly exceed your expectations - and did I mention... THOSE BISCUITS! OMG - now back to eating mine! NOM NOM NOM NOM! read more

I'm a sucker when it comes to short order grills at gas stations cos the food is cheap and usually pretty decent. Tommy's is no exception. My first go to is a chili and slaw dog and the price here is right. I got two for just over $3.00 and that's a deal in my book. I could have gotten it as a combo with fries and a drink, but just the dogs was fine by me. Their hot dogs are the red kind, the chili had a little bit of a bite so glad it wasn't smothered all over it, and the cole slaw was crunchy. All and all it was pretty good. The menu is varied from choices of breakfast items served from 6A-10:30A to lunch sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, and sides like fries and such. Everything is made to order. The food comes up quick and the staff is ever ready to serve the customer. They've got a few booths inside along the window that were nice and clean. What more could you ask for? read more

Simple, cheap, delicious. I never imagined I would so love a gas station chicken sandwich, but there's is the best. The chicken, bacon, egg and cheese is my favorite. Food is consistently good and the staff are always kind. read more

One of the busiest gas stations in Durham off Miami Blvd/70 HWY...typical gas station, snacks, drinks, lotto tickets, beer, etc. They don't do "cash back" which was inconvenient but the do have an ATM. McDonald's sits right beside it, drive thru goes through it's parking lot. Clean, well stocked, public restrooms, free parking and wheel chair accessible read more

It's a gas station yes. But, it's not just ANY mini mart. I LOVE this place because sometimes, when I can't make it to the grocery store before closing, I come here. They have a random stash of tomatoes, onions, bananas, and a few other vegetables. However, if you pump gas here, be aware that it doesn't have one of those metal tabs that hold the gas pump trigger for you. Meaning, you have to hold onto the gas pump and keep holding onto it until your gas tank is full. No bueno. read more

I work in customer service and this was disgraceful. My phone died and I walked inside to see if they had a charging cable available. I find the cables, pull the box towards me without removing it from the hook and put it back because it was too much. I ask the older clerk if I may use the phone, I get a disgruntled "No" and nothing more. I turn to leave and he accuses me of stealing something. "Hey, did you take somethin'?" I had never felt so embarrassed by this question and false accusation! These guys need a lesson in customer service before they anger the wrong kind of person. A nice customer inside offered to let me use their phone and then they decide to give HER a hard time, too. Seriously??? This was abysmal on all degrees. Thankfully will never walk into this place again. read more

Since living "on this side of town" (RTP/Brier Creek/Hwy 70), I have frequented Tommy's for the essentials - gas, snacks, breakfast foods and delicious sweet tea. I love being able to get an egg on toast with mayo, S/P and tomato - southern breakfast is the best imo... Thanks to everyone at Tommy's for being the best! read more
