I used to like this place , I mean service is no longer a priority. The hash browns tasted like they had been sitting there since early morning . The eggs were good, the bacon was cooked (no crisp) it was ok. It's a diner that isn't so great It was ok No real ambience Just disappointed Ps when the server asked if everything was okay I responded with it is soso He simply walked away as if it made no difference.

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. read more

Kids nuggets were hot off the fryer. My son is approaching 2years old. Just saying. That was the only bad part. The prices are wonderful the breakfast plate i had was very yummy. Delicious the portions are great like I could have shared my plate with my date but he ordered me my own the restroom was clean and smelled nice. The guy who works here brought the high chair to our table and the food was also hand delivered to my table for an alternative to the everyday drive thru place i highly recommend Tom's! This diner serves breakfast lunch and dinner. I was satisfied with the customer service and the price, and the menu (plus menu selection was great there's so much to choose from). Leave a tip! They definitely deserve it read more

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! read more

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. read more

Tom's - Pasadena - 2 Pancakes - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been coming to Tom's for many years, and for most of that time I've had very positive experiences. The food is consistently good, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and many of the staff members have always been friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, a recent experience was very disappointing and changed my perspective. A phone interaction while trying to place an order was handled poorly, and I was particularly disappointed by how the situation was handled afterward. The service during that visit also felt unusually disorganized compared with what I had come to expect over the years. It's unfortunate because I genuinely liked this place and supported it for a long time. I hope management takes situations like this as an opportunity to improve. After being a loyal customer for so many years, I never expected one interaction to leave me feeling this way. Unfortunately, it did, and I've decided it's time to take my loyalty elsewhere. read more

Great service! Amazing breakfast burrito! Clean, well lit, open dining room with TV's tuned to sports commentary. read more

Damn this place is good. Guys working there are chill and friendly, great service. The classic cheeseburger was perfect, even the bread was just fantastic. Had a chocolate shake with it. Great lunch for the same price as a crappy McDonald's burger. Coming back, bringing friends. read more

We had breakfast here on August 29th and it was great. The service was amazing for a fast food place, three separate employees stopped at our table to ask how everything was and to bring more coffee. I was shocked at the attention. My wife had a breakfast special Avocado toast with 3 eggs and free coffee, she loved it. It was priced like $13, it would have been $25 any place else she said. I had eggs Benedict and it was more than adequate. They have a very diverse menu and an attentive staff, give them a try, they deserve an opportunity to serve you. read more

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 read more

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. read more

We are regulars at Tom's. Love the staff! They always have a smile and great attitude. I've never ordered anything I didn't like, but my favorite go-to is the gyro sandwich (sauce on the side, no onions) with side of zucchini sticks. read more

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. read more

One of the best hamburgers I've ever tasted in my life. I ate it so quickly I forgot to take a photo. Meat is charred great, the buns are top tier, and all the lettuce, pickles, onions are so fresh. Everyone has a positive attitude and the service was excellent. The restaurant feels like a nice diner and it was very clean. I would definitely come here again. read more

The service is thorough, polite, personable, and lightning fast. The atmosphere is Family diner, with a splash of Pasadena sports life. I was able to get a steak and eggs with a side of toast in literally under 3 minutes. Love it here, strongly recommend, no notes. read more

Hi , Went last nite , ordered chicken fried steak. It was not good , gravy was not hot at all and very thick ( like oatmeal usually is ) becuz it was not warmed up. Also eggs and toast were cold. There was only one cook there , so that could of been why. I was gonna just order something new , but decided not too. I have been few times before , and the food was good. But the server was very friendly read more

OK, so I love the food here and I love the atmosphere but for some reason, they always get my order wrong. Today I ordered a bacon cheeseburger combo.. $18 for a burger fries and a drink.(mind you I had to settle for raspberry iced tea because the Diet Coke was so flat I had to ask for another drink) I completely understand the rise and cost because of today's economy but for that price they should at least get my order right. With every intention on eating lunch before my daughter got out of school; I ended up having to purchase the burger they originally made wrong so that I was not eating in front of my kid. You would dank that they would just offer me the burger for free for having to drive back As much as I love the food here I do not think that I can keep patronizing a business that never gets it right. It's really too bad because again the food is delicious. read more

I just want to start off by saying the guy at the register was SUPER friendly. You order at the register and they give you a number. They'll bring you your food. This restaurant is a SOLID diner... but be prepared to sit on toilet. - Tom's Special Omelette 5/5 Pretty yummy omelette. Hash browns are very crispy and thick. It's delicious. - Cheeseburger 3.5/5 Normal cheeseburger, nothing special. - Chili Cheese Fries 4.5/5 Pretty good chili cheese fries!! Except some pieces of beef were pink indicating they weren't cooked all the way. Parking is free in the lot, or street! read more

July 2025: Well all the cheap prices I had told everyone about are gone. They have NO plant based options even though everyone should as it's 2025 and awareness of the benefits for animals humans and saving the planet are evident unless you're living under a rock. 3 yrs ago from 2025- Omg what a change in service. I ordered something and added an additional thing in delivery notes and the rude guy who answered the phone didn't honor it but what's WORSE he hung up one!! You know what a stickler I for customer service. He says he can't control the apps but management should be in contact with the apps as that is their business and livelihood.. but arguing and hanging up on me? You have serious issues and shouldn't be in the hospitality business. I hope they don't see this and spit in my burrito as I suspect they would since he is so unp read more

We stopped in at Tom's to try their breakfast on a Sunday. I was craving a BLT and remembered my friends who live in the area, frequently go there for breakfast. I ordered a BLT combo, my lady got a ham & egg breakfast plate.. we shared an order of caramelized strawberry pancakes. The BLT that I ordered ended up being a BLTA... I wasnt expecting the avocado but it ended up being ok because it balanced out the saltiness & smokiness of the bacon. Btw, the bacon was aplenty, perfectly crispy and delicious. I asked for the fries to be well done and they were crispy. They got it so right. Just the way we like it. My lady liked her ham & egg breakfast plate that came with hash browns. She should have ordered it well done so the hash was little crispier but they were still good. The strawberry pancakes were very good. Caramelized strawberries and whipped cream topping on fluffy pancakes. Perfect sweet bite for our late breakfast. Definitely recommend it. Food was good. Service was fine but they forgot the white toast that was supposed to come with the ham & egg breakfast... It looked like some of the tables took a while to be cleared. It made for a little bit of a messy look to the dining area. Plenty of parking in their lot. Street parking also available. Drive-thru window is also an option. Order & pay at the register, take a number and your order will be brought to you. read more

My New Go-To Spot for Amazing Mexican Food! I'm very particular about Mexican food, especially because I lived in San Diego where the Mexican food scene is unbeatable. But let me tell you--**Tom's Famous in Pasadena on Walnut and Mar Vista** has completely won me over! Their food is SO good, and they have everything I could ask for. First off, the fact that they have a **drive-through** is a game-changer! You get the convenience of fast food with the quality of a diner. Speaking of which, the food is prepared quickly but is packed with authentic flavor. Their **homemade salsas** are delicious, and the customer service is excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast. I'm honestly surprised more people don't know about this place. The food is top-notch, the portions are huge, and the prices are great. I ordered the **Chilaquiles Mexican Combo for just $12**, and it was a massive, high-quality meal. You really get your money's worth here. If you're looking for a new spot to enjoy amazing Mexican food, you've got to check them out. This is definitely my new favorite place, and I can't wait to come back for more! read more

What is the point of a drive thru if you cannot hear a single word I am saying? I screamed strawberry pancake no less than three times. I asked for hash browns and you said orange juice? You try to pass over a bag that is four containers tall and impossible to pass thru to a car window.... And of course I got NO strawberry pancakes. Never again. read more
