Finding local breakfast joints that serve great food is my jam, both while on the road traveling or right here in my hometown. A recent stop at this old school diner in the downtown part of Lockport fit the bill perfectly. My SIL wanted to take me out for a meal for my recent birthday, so we decided to take a short road trip from Clarence to Lockport. Ambiance inside is classic city style diner with murals and drawings on the walls and mostly booths with red cushioned seats. The outside isn't all that inviting. Just go in and seat yourself and enjoy the great food, service and reasonable prices. I ordered a build your own omelet and my SIL had the 2-2-2. All the food was prepared properly as ordered. My omelette was one of the best that I've had in WNY. I frequently go out for breakfast to a number of local places and am very critical of how omelets are made. Tom's is one of the few that do it right. Home fries were made from scratch with skin on baby reds and were cooked precisely. Pancakes were large, fluffy and delicious. Portions were generous, ingredients were fresh, and service was prompt and friendly. What more can you ask? I highly recommend. It's even worth a small road trip. read more

It's one of those staple little diners and a little town. Everyone knows everyone. The food is great as well as the service. It's for everyone knows your name. Need to look at the murals on the walls. Friendly Service it's a go-to for after church service on Sunday, I cook breakfast or need a great rap for lunch. I love the fact you can get breakfast anytime. read more

Tom's is sort of an old school, retro looking diner with typical diner food. My table was already seated and drinking coffee when I arrived. The waitress was over shortly after I came in to take my drink order. I ordered eggs OM, toast and sausage. My eggs were cooked OE; the whole yolk oozed out as soon as I touched them. I still ate them because I was hungry and didn't want to wait for new ones and they weren't horrible, just not how I ordered or prefer them to be cooked. The prices are quite decent & lower than other comparable establishments. The server was not the fastest, but she was friendly. read more

My family's favorite are the potato pancakes, the special banana foster French toast, and the breakfast plates. read more

Best Breakfast around. Friendly people. Found this place by mistake. So glad we did. Can't wait to go back.

Great little spot that really welcomed us, even though we had just ridden our bikes for 3 hours. They gave us prompt service, yummy club sandwich and subs and pitchers of water to fill up our water bottles to complete our ride. Generous servings and very fresh ingredients. Cool picture of historic Lockport on the walls. The waitress was very considerate. Great stop along the Erie Canalway Trail. read more

Oh boy! Found the cutest, old fashioned diner right on the Erie Canal! Tom's was decorated with interesting drawings on the wall. Seating included both booths and tables, as expected. We were warmly greeted and the server was delighted to learn we were first time visitors. The breakfast specials were on the back of the menu and coffee was included in the very reasonable prices. It was a huge bonus to hear that the Italian toast was made using DiCamillo Bakery bread! The home fries were homemade using red potatoes and they were very good. The service and food were outstanding. read more

Always great food and great friendly service. We are " regulars" and the staff always remembers our stuff.

Reasonable prices, accessible parking, a quiet place and a varied menu and best of all the super crispy bacon

Tom's is my favorite place to go for breakfast. The atmosphere has always been my favorite and the food is even better. They have street parking or you can park in the parking lot. You can sit yourself to wherever is open whether that be a table, booth, or right up at the counter. There are so many options to choose from for foods and drinks. My go to is always chocolate milk and 2-2-2 for breakfast. They have great options for lunch too! The food is absolutely delicious and whenever I'm in town you can find me at Tom's! read more

Solid American fare at a reasonable price. Large portions , swift service , take away orders done well ! Ordered stuffed French toast , country gravy over biscuits , and eggs Benedict . Everything was well packaged and hot for pick up, flavors were on point , very freshly made and the mild flavors that western New York favors :) Hearty breakfast offerings for cold winter mornings ! Appreciated that the biscuits in the country breakfast were thick but not overly dense, goodly amount of breakfast sausage to white gravy ratio - as a displaced Texan I can safely say this was a southern comfort in this cold cold read more

We are biking through Lockport and stayed the night. Tom's was highly recommended to us by locals. The food was amazing. I had the super breakfast. The home fries didn't need ketchup to eat. Service was outstanding and the walls have different characters on them. Such a nice place. Highly recommend Tom's. read more

No wait on a Saturday morning. Seat yourself situation. Had some saturday specials posted. Coffee was average. Ask for the vanilla creamer it is a nice upgrade for diner coffee. I ordered eggs Benedict with a side of home fries. Food was very tasty and served quickly. I have also tried the stuffed French toast which is only served on the weekends. It is a must have! They always offer bananas foster stuffed French toast and other fruit preparations that seem to change up a bit. Parking seems to be limited to the street only. Parking lot next door appears to be for the building that is next door. read more

Tom's is our go to spot for breakfast in Lockport. They have a great selection of breakfast items that make everyone in the family happy. A personal favorite is their omelettes.

My friends and I decided to go for breakfast/brunch today and got there around 12:30. After a 10 minute wait (which wasn't bad), we were seated. Our waitress took our drink order, and had to come back 3 times because she couldn't get it right. After we placed our food order, it then took about 40 minutes to get our food, which was lukewarm at best. I also asked for whipped cream on my waffle, to which the waitress asked a second time and wrote down, which I didn't get. At this point, it was about 1:30, and they close at 2, and one of the workers was flipping the chairs upside down on the tables, which made us feel like we were being rushed out of there. Our waitress brought us our check and as a way of saying "sorry" for our wait, didn't charge us for our drinks. Suffice to say, I probably won't be back. read more

I came to this diner today with my best friend after we were at an event in Barker, NY. They were closing at 1pm because of the Memorial Day holiday and were only serving breakfast, which was totally fine with me. I am usually quite indecisive if I look at the menu too long. The potato pancakes were one of the first things I saw on the menu, so I stuck with that. I'm so glad that I did. I ordered the full order (three) instead of the regular (two) size. That were large and oh SO delicious!!! The coffee that I ordered was quite good too. The food was out quickly, which made me quite happy. The waitress was really nice and even suggested a few ice cream flavors to try, when I told her we would be going to Lake Effect Ice cream after our visit at their diner. The place has really cool drawings/murals on the wall. I'll definitely be going back there soon to try some of their other menu items! read more

Delicious, inexpensive and filling. I got the 2 eggs, 2 sausage links and 2 potato pancakes for $1 more. This was SO good and highly recommended. My coworker ordered the same thing but instead of potato pancakes got regular pancakes. He was itching to come back to this place after the first time he came here and was thrilled when he got to eat the pancakes again. The coffee was also surprisingly good with unlimited refills! The staff was nice and always came by to top off my cup :) read more

Don't let the corner cafe diner look fool you, this was a great experience. Came in for breakfast, able to get seated and coffee within minutes. One of the best parts of this place, the waitress was awesome! Didn't have to ask for a coffee refill once, she was on it. The food was good, ended up getting a breakfast special. Eggs were just a tad bland for my taste, but nothing some salt and pepper can't cure. If you come for breakfast, YOU HAVE TO GET THE HOMEFRIES. I'll come back for a plate of homefries alone. I loved the down to earth, local mom and pop feel. I'll definitely come back again. read more
