Small Diner in Pasadena. Finally writing a review, been here a few times and thought it's time. Came for lunch. Burger special 12 bucks ( cheeseburger, fries, drink). You order at the counter and they bring it to you. All the tables are numbered. Not all the tables were clean (fyi) yet the restrooms were very clean. Sat down and service was great. Server brought out condiments along with food and was kind and polite. Burger was spot on. The fries were crispy and very tasty. Give them a try read more

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

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

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

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every intention on eating lunch before my daughter got out of school; I ended up having to purchase the burger they originally made wrong so that I was not eating in front of my kid.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

This place is so overpriced! A breakfast sandwich with chicken cutlet, $17. That doesn't include anything else, like hash browns or drink. It's such a rip-off. I was reminded why I don't patronize this place. Save your money! 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

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

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

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

Perfect diner and burger place. Stop by on a hot day and had a club sandwich and the shake. The Service was very friendly.

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

I love this place. The food is always good, and I've never had an issue with customer service. I usually order through the drive-thru, so the wait is always a bit long, but the food makes it worth it. I've ordered food, and the employees were were quick to double check my allergy and made sure all food was safe. Really went above and beyond. Safe to say if you've got any shellfish allergy like me you're good to go here!! Their chicken fillet burger is soooo good, I recommend it if you're in the mood for a good chicken sandwich. read more

2.5-3 stars. Ordered to go. It was a little confusing during the ordering process because the staffs kept forgetting what we ordered and had to repeat many times. Food was just okay. Chili cheese fries were too salty without any other flavors. Burger patty was bland but the pastrami we added was delicious though. Maybe I should try the pastrami sandwich next time. read more

4.1 stars for Tom's! We came here after the Rose Parade on 1/2/22 for brunch. The restaurant was bustling and busy, but servers were still very efficient and attentive. I like how this place has cozy decor, plenty of seating for different size groups and no frills food. The menu has all your usual breakfast offerings for any craving you have- eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, hash browns, pancakes, waffles and fried chicken, burritos, burgers, even steak, fries, shakes, and more! All the classics of a homey diner. The food was tasty. Maybe not top quality, but it does the job and at this price point, it's a great deal! They also have their own parking lot. Would recommend! read more
