A decent hometown restaurant fast food/diner/coffee shop/50+ year local restaurant in downtown Manassas. Old school style decor from yesterday year fun place to stop during a motorcycle ride for groups or just a couple of friends. The place is a little rundown when you look at the ceiling some of the tiles are just colored, but it's exactly what you would expect in a building that has changed owners in the last 50 years. It's basically a Mom and pop place of sorts. Typical items on the menu great for breakfast. read more

Tom's Diner is a true hidden gem! Tom's has exceptional servers who are very personable. The food is a great price and is very delicious. While the parking lot could use a new pavement, the food quality and service quality speaks to the true value of Tom's Diner! The inside is small but appropriate for a diner. Eating at Tom's gives an old style vibe. Would definitely recommend! read more

An old fashioned diner that served good food. Nothing fancy but you get greeted by a very sweet waitress, wonderful service and a great meal. I had the breakfast with eggs, home fries and pancake. Everything was done just right! Good price too! read more

Inflation has to be hurting them. Was rather surprised by, how expensive breakfast was this morning. Will leave it at that, as this used to be a favorite spot. It still is. A lot of it's due to its old fashioned no frills charm. It is a true diner. It's genuine and comfortable. Service was exceptional. Food was decent enough. The bacon deserves a well done. I like it that tasty. French toast and hash browns were quite good also. Am a fan still and will be back. Parking is a little bit limited, but by all means give this place a try. read more

We just had a company Christmas Breakfast catered by Tom's Diner. The food was great, home cooked style and very tasty! Everyone was very pleased with the selection...eggs, pancakes, sausage gravy and biscuits, bacon & sausage, fried potatoes, and they even provided a tray of fruit! Highly recommend this restaurant that has been in Manassas for a very long time! read more

Having seen this spot many times over the years, but never stopping in, I decided to go for breakfast one weekday, while I was in the area. There only seemed to be two employees working; the cook and the server, but service was still quite prompt. When I got there, there was only one other person dining in there, but by the time I left, there were many others and several more tables sat. They also seemed to have a few take-out orders pop in while there, so they clearly do a decent business. The menu is typical, basic diner fare, nothing creative nor unique. I opted for a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich on English muffin and it was pretty good. The breakfast potatoes that I got as a side were nicely done, with a little crusty fry on the sides, which I really like. Overall, it was decent. read more

If you're looking for a home style breakfast that isn't run by some corporate chain, Tom's diner has got you covered. Although it's not open 24/7 like the diners I grew up with, you definitely feel the small town diner vibe when you walk in. Yes there is a trailer park behind this place. If that in any way influences your opinion of the food, I don't really know what to say about except to check your privilege. Food didn't take too long to come out after we ordered. It was mostly younger families at the tables and some old timers sitting at the counter. Really liked the atmosphere of this place during the brunch hours. Waitress was super nice and made sure to come by and check on us to see how we were doing. Will definitely be back again. read more

Tom's Diner - 2 Eggs with Bacon - Diners Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Let's get into it. Hats off to the chef for preparing an exceptional breakfast. The pancakes possessed a distinctive flavor reminiscent of what your grandmother or mother would make. The eggs were perfectly seasoned. This establishment undoubtedly surpasses many five-star upscale breakfast venues. The level of service and hospitality you encounter upon entering is exceptional, and the food is reasonably priced. This family-owned diner is operating at peak performance. Enough said, DMV, make your way here. read more

Great breakfast and fast, friendly service. The facility and indoor amenities are dated - needs an interior refresh.

I ordered a range of items. Not bad, not amazing. The salad was a complete disappointment. read more

Oh man. I don't know where to start. Maybe it was the trailer park behind it, or maybe the tape holding the bar together. I will say that the hash browns were HANDS DOWN one of the top 5 worst things I have ever eaten. Imagine that kinda ratty couch that's in someone's house who smokes inside. Now imagine eating that couch. That's what they tasted like. We ate and got the hell out. Oh and one of my creamers was solid! I'll say the wait staff was super sweet but the prices and diner "food" was heinous. That song is bad, so is the restaurant. read more

Yes! Another authentic diner close by! There is one other on same road but really packed on Sunday so tried out Toms. The coffee excellent and mug never empty. My food was served quickly and was excellent. Nestled in front of a trailer park which I never knew existed, the parking was limited but doable. I liked the patrons! A biker dude was seated in booth next to me and when he saw an elderly couple enter, he jumped to his feet and gently guided the man to his seat. We will become regulars! read more

Tom's Diner - My breakfast - Diners Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Nice little spot, decent food, good service, but the coffee is horrible. Coffee very weak

Tom's Diner is a classic greasy spoon kind of place. I've only come here for breakfast and got the same thing both times: buttermilk pancakes with the country omelette. The country omelette is carb heaven. It has potatoes inside of it (along with bacon and onions and some other things), with your choice of home fries or hashbrowns, and some sort of toast on the side. It's delicious, always really fresh, and they're not shy about stuffing the omelette. You won't leave the diner with an empty stomach. Everything's reasonably priced, staff are really friendly, and the diner attracts a variety of people... Young to elderly couples, families, and they even make people who seat alone feel welcomed in the diner. I recommend if you're looking for a lowkey and casual restaurant! read more

Tom's Diner - Diners Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Absolutely amazing. The food is phenomenal. Got the steak and cheese sub. And my friend got a breakfast sandwich. Both were amazing. The staff is very lovely. My server was samantha. Highly recommend asking for her she is quiet and reserved, but her service is very amazing. And honestly I thought she was a young teen. About 15 or so. But she's in her early to mid 20s!!!?? Or even ask for her mother Wendy who just seemed to be in an incredible mood with a warm smile and always giggling . She helped with our table alongside Samantha. We went in on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy. Though our server mentioned that it was oddly slow for a Sunday. I'll give a shout-out to both the cooks in the kitchen, as I'm not exactly sure which one made our food. Perhaps both did. The vibe of the diner is what you're looking for in a diner. Though it could use some touch ups.. in regards to the physical looks. It doesn't look like much. But the service just gives that feeling that they welcomed us as family. It was just a warning thought to know that mother and daughter work there. One of the cooks was the son of the owner. Two of the other waitresses were sisters. But all together three completely different families. It just felt that they really appreciated the work they do .which is a lot to say about serving tables. But they seem to love it. The regulars that came in, were treated like family. (The only reason I'm assuming they were regulars bc the staff, even the cooks, welcomed them by name). I just highly recommend coming to this diner. If this is what you're interested in. I would recommend going on the weekend however because that's when all the staff is working. read more

Tom's Diner in Manassas, VA, has been operating since 1979. Funny thing is it's located just 3 minutes down the road from the jam-packed IHOP and serves just as good a breakfast (maybe better). No offense to IHOP. But there's no waiting at Tom's and the service here is superb. Folks here are kind, patient, and attentive. That Greek omelette and home fries were absolutely yummy! read more

One of our favorite breakfast stops. A simple but tasty menu from a very local diner. It always seems that everyone knows each other when you are there for breakfast. And it's casual enough that when the guy comes in open carrying, no one really bats an eye. All the breakfast items are great. I need to try them at another time of day to see what else they can whip up! read more

The FOOD HERE IS SO GOOD! My first time eating here! I will definitely be back. The food isn't expensive, you get your money's worth, it's delivered hot. They give the correct amount of sauces per request! read more

Tom's Diner - 3 French Toast and 2 Eggs, Bacon - Diners Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Zipped over to Manassas this morning to meet Seab H. for breakfast. I've been to Tom's Diner once before and it was pretty good. Seab and I pretty much ordered the same thing - Biscuits and Sausage Gravy, with two eggs medium, and hash browns, plus coffee and water. This time around, for me, it was just okay. The Sausage Gravy was not as "sausagey" as I think it should have been. More sausage flavor! The hash browns were also a tad undercooked for my taste - I like 'em crisp! Downgrading to 3 stars - still worth a visit! read more

No frills. Just a delicious breakfast. $10.99 for 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage links and 2 pancakes. I added a side of scrapple and life is good. Highly recommended read more

Y'all we ordered from here on Uber Eats, the food was the BEST! Biscuits were hot and fresh! Everything was amazing. We will be regulars!

The food and service here were both excellent. Big hearty meals and service with a smile. Wendy was our waitress. The inside of the restaurant is quite large however parking is a major issue and in need of repair. The restrooms were below average as well. We did enjoy the restaurant and would not hesitate to go back. read more

Came due to all the wonderful reviews. I'm not sure what happened, but the food was subpar. The staff was great and very nice. Was hoping for a good diner hole in the wall place, unfortunately did not find that. read more

It was the first time my family and I had breakfast at Tom's diner and it is not going to be the last!!! We had an amazing experience! The food was delicious and excellent customer service!! Overall a great cozy diner!! We're definitely going to be a regular customers!! read more

Great hometown atmosphere and a hot cup of coffee. My favorite are the omelettes. A lot of customers order the Poachers Delight for $9.50. The sausage gravy is everything you want. The real draw is the staff. Always friendly and willing to talk. read more

It's o.k. for a quick bite, but nothing like the diners I frequented up in NJ. Small menu, but good value.

Great service and food for the price! Definitely a genuine diner experience! Would recommend!

My fiancé and I love this little diner! We live in Occoquan, and found it one day while in Manassas. The service couldn't be better, and our waitress was so kind she made us feel like we were in her home. The food? Great portions and delicious! Definitely a gem of a spot! read more

Wooooww , came here to eat breakfast at around 11am did not get my food until 12:40pm. The food was cold and it was the wrong order. They served us coffee from a styrofoam cup!! But what was crazy was that an older white group got served before us and they got there later! And we waited thirty minutes to get menus and had to ask for refills while everyone was getting refills. Will never go back! read more

Very good breakfast at reasonable prices. And a very nice diner coffee. My wife had just one pancake as they are large and cooked perfectly. I had the biscuit and sausage gravy which comes with a choice of hash browns, home fries or grits. I got home fries with onions and was quite happy with the flavors and portions. Only average item was the bacon. Nice portion but not quite there on the flavor side. Courteous service and clean spaces. read more

My first time to Tom's Went for breakfast early on a Sunday morning...sat at the bar. My first impressions were not good. The lady who took my order was timely and nice. She immediately offered coffee which was good. I had two eggs over easy, grits, hashbrowns and toast. Everything was good except for the grits...they were like soup. I had to ask for coffee even though there was a regular group of girls hanging out behind the counter. It was really annoying that they were all eating their breakfast...right in front of me....three of them. I complained to the waitress about the grits...she told the cook as I was leaving...he apologized. I told him I wouldn't hold it against him and that I would be back to give him another chance. read more

I ordered eggs, hash browns, a side of vegetables, and grits. The eggs and hash browns were good but the grits were undercooked and hard still. The vegetables you could not go wrong with since it's simply a matter of heating them up. The biscuit was of such low quality, I have never seen anything like it, definitely could not eat it. I don't know what kind of biscuit this was and I would not like to know. On a positive note, the eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly! However, I don't think I would come back here, the quality just isn't there but you get what you pay for! I was still hungry leaving here. read more

I love this place. Breakfast all day, good service, and great food. Average diner prices, so you get bang for your buck. The big difference is in the food. This guy can cook, Jack! I've had a few things there, and they were all good. I definitely recommend the chipped beef on rye or country fried steak, though. read more

I'll start with the good- the service was pretty good. Our server was a nice older lady and the food came out fast. The pancakes and eggs were fine. The corned beef hash came out of a can. We didn't get anything we'd describe as delicious. The place is in serious need of basic upkeep and cleaning- there were at least 2 flies big enough that I could see their faces, that kept visiting our table. I'm shocked by the reviews that brought us there. I wouldn't recommend or willingly visit again. read more
