    Tom's is my go to for a quick weekend breakfast. They make a great biscuit & gravy which I love. The eggs and bacon are always perfectly cooked. While I stick to my staple my wife branches out a lot. Burgers, zucchini, fries, waffles, chicken fried steak, pancakes. She's tried a lot and is always happy. Come for breakfast, lunch, dinner. You won't leave unhappy. Weekend mornings are usually busy but service is quick and the runners are efficient with coffee and soda refills and checking on you during your meal.

    Waffle with strawberries, a side of hashbrowns, and bacon.

    Back again! It's been a while, but I was still pleased with the quick service. My mom really enjoyed her Cobb salad and my friend enjoyed her omelet. I of course enjoyed the lovely strawberry waffle!

    4 drinks for super value family meal

    Nice neighborhood restaurant. They have lots of good deal such as 1.99 taco on Tuesday and Thursday. Quarter pound burger for 4 only 19.99 with fries and drinks. Services is nice

    Always a great place for brunch! Good food and good service! Grab a table and know your number!

    2 Pancakes

    Great breakfast spot. The food was great. They are very generous with their portions so be ready to stuff your face :) I'm mad I really thought I took a pic of my food :( I only took a pic of my pancakes. I ate an omelette which was delicious. Pancakes were also very good! The service was awesome. Friendly staff & very attentive. The place is very clean they do have private parking and street parking is also available.

    I eat here more than I should. So many good choices. Today was a cheddar cheese and jalapeño omelet, hash browns and grilled rye toast. So filling - had to take half home. The service is always top notch. Even though you order at the counter, they always come by your table to make sure everything is OK and if you need anything.

    French toast bacon  and eggs  really good   I love to come here, fast service and great customer service!!!!

    Lately I have noticed a very big change in terms of service, they receive you very kindly and very attentive as to whether you are missing something or want more coffee, etc etc!!! Well done TOM's Team

    Bert zucchini

    Food was not that great the zucchini was burnt and lacked seasoning. Burger was mid it lacked flavor. The asada fries also lacked flavor and the nachos cheese on it was gross

    Double burger
    Peter D.

    Friendly face greeted me, looking for a cheeseburger to see if it is good enough to talk or write about, quick answer not really but the name Tom's Family stuck with me, prices are decent I'd say family affordable! Liked the Pasadena based murals do if you have friends that live nearby snd you don't want to break the bank yeah sure . One quibble , didn't like the cheese they use.

    Salad

    Highly recommend the rib eye steak dinner 10/10. A co-worker recommended me here and they blew my mind. Great price the service was great and the place is so clean and newly remodeled. Great place all around

    WOW! What a Deal!. Everything was fantastic, prepared and presented very well. I'd give it all a 10+ Excellent service by excellent people and the Ambiance is very welcoming.

    Club Sandwich
    Maggie C.

    This place always hits the spot -- I love club sandwiches and theirs is pretty tasty. Bacon could've been a bit more crispy but delicious nonetheless

    Is breakfast served all day long?

    Yep. I have gotten omelets for dinner several times. And they are awesome!

    How is the parking?

    Tom's has their own parking lot, with plenty of free parking. There is also street parking, in case the parking lot gets full.

    What's your favorite dish?

    so far I have to say the pork chops. I asked them to burn my chops cuz I like them crunchy and they did. I thought my chops were delicioso

    Is it a drive thru?

    Yes, there is a drive-thru and there's lots of seating for dining in too.

Amongst other things I got the salmon salad which is gorgeous and hard to photo because theres a LOT of salmon in it but it's under all the lovely parsley/veg. Salads can sometimes be a little boring or unsatisfying but I was literally going MM!! with every bite of theirs-- and I could only eat half before getting full, which astonished me because I can eat a lot! Lastly their pickles are SO GOOD. I ordered the pickled veggies not really knowing what they'd be or what amount but again, very substantial portion, great variety of veggies, crunchy, and super tasty brine, and once more, a familiar flavor but with a little something extra that makes it super tasty and special!

Not too milky and espresso was good not burnt/crazy acidic or anything. Mocha ($6.5)-- The mocha is real dark chocolate vs something like Hershey's syrup. You can definitely taste the difference!

The place was packed, and we were lucky enough to grab the last available table. I ordered the stacked pancake breakfast along with an iced matcha latte, which was refreshing after a workout class nearby. My husband chose the brisket lunch burrito. Our food took quite a while to arrive, close to 30 mins! But the staff was very apologetic and even brought us a complimentary muffin while we waited. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. I swapped the bacon for tofu, and it made for a satisfying breakfast. However, my husband wasn't as impressed with his brisket burrito, saying it was a bit dry. Based on this visit, I'd recommend sticking with the breakfast items, pastries, and of course, the coffee. Copa Vida still makes a great cup of coffee!

The seasoning was packed with flavor from the very first bite, and every bite after that just kept getting better.
