Stopped in after a visit to the Y. Friendly order-at-the-counter service. You can tell the place has been around for a while and hasn't changed a thing about the aesthetic. It got pretty busy while we were there. Lots of locals who were friendly with the staff. Burgers and fries were tasty. Nothing super remarkable. Just good, classic burgers. Saw quite a few folks ordering cookies so we decided to buy a few. The cherry macadamia cookie was the star! Been craving them since I tried it! Was clearly a Waco institution that I look forward to visiting again. read more

Walking in feels like a small town burger joint, which to me means that the food's gonna be good. Then the woman at the counter was incredibly kind and friendly. Their meals come with a cookie, which is super cute. I got the bacon cheeseburger with Cajun fries...I'm gonna tell you that burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. So much good flavor in the meat! I will definitely be coming back here again when I get a burger craving. read more

One of my go to lunch spots. I order online and it's always ready when I get there to pick it up. Fast service, good food, and friendly staff. I usually get a classic burger with tator tots or cajun fries. The steak fingers are also really good. Consistent and great place to grab lunch. Great local spot! read more

Delicious burger and fries. Excellently prepared and served. Very busy place when I was there around 11:30am.

Best local burger no question. Christy's in Bellmead is also delicious. I eat at Tom's several times per month. Always wonderful cheeseburger and french fries. read more

Delicious burger and seasoned fries. Best I have had in Waco. They are not open on weekends but they stay open until 8PM on weekdays.

This place was good and the staff was great. I am not a burger person so I got the chicken fried steak and it was great. Really enjoyed this place and would go again read more

Tom's hamburgers are delicious and the prices are very fair. I recommend Tom's Hamburgers to anyone

I wouldn't say that I am a burger connoisseur but I do know a good burger when I taste one. The burger was not very tasty to me. I'm not a big fan of burger joints that use frozen patties to make their burgers. Tom's burgers did not have much flavor to it and the tater tots were overcooked. It certainly would not make my top 5 burger joints in Waco but I'm sure that there are many people that would disagree with me. read more

Excellent food, good service, fair prices & adequate seating in this order-at-the-counter burger restaurant. Although it's a neighborhood burger joint in a non-descript strip center, over the years it has developed a big customer following. The menu features mainly different styles of burgers - ala carte or in a combo with an accompaniment and drink - each one tasty and as dressed up as you like. Tom's Burgers is highly recommended as a satisfying alternative to a fast food burger chain.. read more

AMAZING BURGERS!!!!! My daughter and I love to eat here. Recently we have been using the code LOCAL 5 to get 5.00 off on Waitr as it is delivered to the comfort of our home! Love this place and amazing food. You will not be disappointed! read more

When I walked in to Tom's, I noticed the place was very clean. The service was great and for 4 of us it was still under 20.00. The meal was made very fast. People complain about mom and pop hamburger places. I dont care what hamburger do and dont have on them. As long as I think it's good that's what counts. The price was reasonable. The atmosphere was very nice. Check it out. read more

Fantastic burger spot. Stopped in for a burger and fries and was Absolutly delighted. Amazing staff and amazing food!

Great burgers and fantastic service - an icon of Waco - wait is not bad at all - restaurant has a nice retro feel to it

The manager today cursed at a customer and made a racist remark to her saying "I know you're kind, matter fact you've been here before". I will NEVER come back and its sad how that she made that comment. read more

I have lived in Waco going on five years and I've eaten a lot of burgers in the area. Other similar restaurants like Jake's add Kim's diner have a better ambience, however Toms has the best burgers hands-down! Their french fries appeared to be fresh cut and tasted great. On top of having the best burgers their soda machine was extremely clean and this showed with the flavor. Their employees were extremely nice and service was fast. I would definitely recommend Tom's to anyone looking for a great burger. read more

Today is our anniversary and before we start an evening of surprises, we decided to stop for burgers. My husband had a double Patty melt and I had Swiss and mushroom. We haven't been here since we were kids so I was interested to see what had changed... Not much at all!!! The burgers were perfect and really hit the spot. The food is made to order so everything was fresh and the customer service was great as well. I can't say anything bad about this place at. And for sure we will be back soon!!! read more

Great place to grab a burger. The fries are excellent as well. The service is quite fast. All in all a good place to eat

Swiss mushroom burger and tater tots are as good as you'll get anywhere. This is one of the top five burgers in town. Yes it's a no-frills establishment, but always worth visiting. read more

The burgers were good. The beef tasted great. The plain fries were decent, but they weren't hot. The Onion rings were delicious and hot. The food took a awhile to come out. The facility was clean and the staff were friendly. read more

What I would call the epitome of a good hole in the wall joint! It's in a plaza next to a gas station! My favorite kind of place :) I had the mushroom and Swiss burger and a basket of Cajun fries. I thought both were perfect. Burger was delish. Fries were cooked to the perfect crisp! I'd say it was exactly what is expected to get - in a very good way! Diner style. Served wrapped up and inone of those plastic baskets. Service was great. I was there around 12/12:30 and they were pretty busy as it was lunch time but I got my food quickly. Not somewhere you'd probably want to go if you were looking for a fancy/gourmet burger OR if you are trying to eat healthy, but I'd definitely say it's worth the $9 bucks and the stop read more

It was a decent bacon burger the bacon is thin and crispy its personal preference weather you like it that way or not. I do say get the cajun fries they are well spiced but not spicy hot. Just a good and a nice change from reg fries with all your burgers. The service was ok the order taker was fine at listening an the food order was correct but had the personality of and look as someone who has been sitting at the DMV all day. read more

I love Tom's, and I've eaten it for 2 decades, but I will never understand why they don't use actual mayonnaise on their burgers and opt to use disgusting miracle whip. Sure it's cheap depression era mayonnaise substitute, but who wants a layer of gooey sweet goblin *** on their burger? Not me. That being said, their burgers are good (bring your own real mayo if you eat inside) and their Cajun fries are to die for. They have amazing and kind staff members, and they are open during the Covid pandemic, masks required except while eating for anyone looking to pop by for some food. I love the place, but I wanted to make a review to make sure that anyone out there that wants a good burger but wants good, real mayo on it, you'd best not ask for mayo here, cause it's an imposter mayo, the heinous goblin ***, miracle whip. read more

I do not prefer hamburgers at all. They are my husband's favorite. But at Tom's I would eat a burger everyday if I lived in Waco. I have tried hamburger joints all over Tx and this one is by far one of the best. read more

This place had people but not busting out crowded. The specials were pretty great. Gluten free buns. And if you don't want the cookie you can get a bigger drink!! read more

I went there with a friend today to try out Tom's Burgers. I had never been there, and it had been 30 years since my friend had been there. The place reminded me of hamburger places when I was a kid 40 years ago. The hamburgers were tasty and did not taste like they were mass produced ahead of time because they weren't. The fries were crunchy. The staff was friendly. The place was full, which is a good omen too. All in all if you want to go to a doggone good burger place, try Tom's. read more

My favorite go-to for a good ole fashioned hamburger. Everytime I've ordered one, it's been perfect. I LOVE the sweet potato fries, especially with Tom's yummy chili on top. Reasonable prices too. The service is friendly and prompt and the atmosphere is really friendly. read more

I went to Tom's from a long time ago recommend from a professor. He touted it as one of the best burgers in Waco. Tom's makes for a great old fashioned diner style burger in a joint that has the same nostalgic dated style. Fries are average, would probably get onion rings. Overall good burger, nice that it's a bit off the beaten path. read more
