Best customer services I've received in a long time. I must admit, when pulled up I was thinking we need to choose another location. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall. We were greeted and was pleasantly surprised. My daughter and I ordered French toast special. The French toast was really delicious. My son ordered the pancake special with chocolate chips. Maybe I don't like chocolate chips but it was not my favorite. He ate every drop. I think it is family owned and run. I would highly recommend, don't worry about how it looks outside just give it a try. read more

Service was awesome, there's a great family feel as the husband, wife and son were all there and very friendly. The food all was full of flavor and fresh. We really enjoyed The "Dave's Killer Tomatoes" but the omelet and pancakes were also amazing. It is a hole in the wall but the food quality far surpassed our expectations! read more

Tory's Cafe - Dave's Killer Tomatoes - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

If I could give them 100 stars I would! Food was amazing!! Best French toast I've ever had in my life and the bacon couldn't have been cooked more perfect! But honestly the best part is the atmosphere! It is truly a family run restaurant and as soon as you walk in you are treated as a part of the family. The absolute nicest people in town!! I can't recommend this place! So thankful we found Tory's cafe and it will be a staple stop every time we're in town read more

My boyfriend and I arrived in the area last night and found Tory's for breakfast this morning. Food was delicious and service was great! I'm sure we'll have breakfast a few more times in the 2 months we are in the area read more

Food is terrific and the prices are well affordable. The owners. Jeff (the cook) and Bridgette (host, server) are busy but always nice, personable and converse with customers. ... except when Jeff is singing along to a fave tune on the radio while he's cooking non-stop. Prices are very reasonable, $20 covers me, my father and tip. Place is small, quaint and social. Enter and the right is a long 1950's soda bar seating, on the left are tables. Jeff is big guy and immediately see him cooking over a large flame and likely singing. 90% of customers are routine regulars. Once a new visitor is fortunate enough to be introduced it is very very VERY likely they join this routine customer crowd. Anyone from out of town I've taken, next time around have asked if we're going again this visit. Tory's is a gem. read more

Great food and great people! Unbeatable prices and always welcoming vibes every time we visit!

Excellent food and service! Had a breakfast here. Husband and wife team own this place!

Everything was AMAZING! Excellent coffee and we loved that they had flavored creamer (just ask). The chocolate pancakes were PACKED with chocolate chips! My friend loved her french toast, and I thoroughly enjoyed my western omelette. The home fries were a huge portion and were deliciously seasoned. The omelette was perfectly cooked and full of toppings. We loved the dive diner vibe - it's not fancy, but who needs fancy at breakfast? Bridgette, one of the owners, was a perfect host and server- she took great care of us! I highly recommend checking this place out for a local vibe with delicious food! I will definitely be back next visit! read more

Service: 15/10 was incredible. Thoughtful, friendly and we were asked by back of house and front of house how our first experience was. Extremely nice and attentive people. Great little hidden gem. Blueberry pancakes- delicious, soft but not mushy would definitely get again. It was awesome that the home fries had an option of onions or no onions. Brown and crisp on the outside, soft in the middle nice potato chunks. Bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheddar was veryyyy good my husband said. He preferred that to the biscuits and gravy he got. They had several hot sauces to choose from which is nice most places have one maybe two. Would 100% recommend going, small, casual diner with good food. A lot of the diners around here are either expensive or sub par. This place was an exception. read more

The food is off the charts by far the best omelet I have ever had and the grilled tomatoes are so so good. The service is the best and it just feels like you're part of the family! The atmosphere is so fun with the upbeat music and it's so cozy inside and welcoming. Thanks for all you guys do! read more

Great atmosphere, good food and the owners are very friendly. Been going there for years. Bridget and Jeff are by far the best owners since someone put peanut butter and jelly together read more

Had breakfast for the first time at Tory's Cafe. It was very tasty! I ordered the blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon. The pancakes were a meal alone! big as dinner plates and loaded with blueberries. Bacon + eggs were good. My husband had the french toast which was also delish, came with sausage and fried eggs. Everything on the plate was tasty. We also ordered a biscuit, because i'm from the south and, well, just gotta. It came grilled. I usually have to ask to get that. Very good, service fabulous!!! The outside looks suspect...,nice and clean inside and busy!! Small mom & pop place that takes pride in what they are putting in front of you. We will be back. ;) read more

Food was incredible. Bridget and Jeff are absolute icons, such great people and we were so impressed with the service. Love a little hidden gem. If we lived local we would definitely be regulars but will be back next time we're in the area. Good music, friendly people, great breakfast, what a way to start your morning. read more

A total hole in the wall in the BEST way! The food was amazing. Every single person in our party was wavering on coming back the next day and forgoing our itinerary to try something new. One of the best fruit cups I've ever had. Sandwich was a little salty but I got ham so no blame there whatsoever. The owner was so sweet and celebrating her 50th birthday. They pretty recently took ownership of the restaurant but it's been around for about 20 years I think she said. The ONLY "negative" I have is if you're a large party you will be unable to eat inside. There are maybe six 4-seat booths, and 4 barstools on one side, 7 on the other? It is VERY cramped but we were a party of six and grabbed the last of barstools at entrance. I think the entrees were about $8-$12 and coffee was about $3! Just try it! read more

I don't know where to start!!! From the hospitality of the entire staff/owners, to the delicious food with that home made feel and great to the very last bite to the BEST MUSIC playlist ever, our experience was perfect from beginning to end.

Great little breakfast and lunch spot! Delicious food and friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Food with Heart Tory's is in an unprepossessing building and looks worn around the edges. The inside cooking area, however, is clean and well maintained. The husband/wife team are the cook and server. Both seem to care about their food and their customers. Most of the food was very good with some very minor quibbles. The scrambled eggs could be a bit fluffier. The ham slice is large but thin; half the diameter and double the thickness would be a bit juicier and I would have preferred a better sear on the outside. The biscuit was nice but rather standard and could have been fluffier, although I do appreciate the quick toast on the grill. French toast was nicely spiced and cooked through mostly. And the grits were among the best I've had in Pinellas County--made from scratch and neither soupy or gummy--and properly salted. Any criticism is minor, and I would give Tory's 4.5 stars if I could. But they obviously care deeply about what they do and include a lot of heart in their food. So it's easy to round up to 5 stars. read more

Stopped by this morning for breakfast as we were in the area. Food was your delicious diner food (but better) with very generous portion sizes and fun kids meals. Service was five stars. Would definitely return next time I'm in Clearwater. read more

Another 5-star breakfast from Tory's. The place is small and you'll probably have to wait but my goodness it's worth it. These blueberry pancakes were literally the size of dinner plates. I probably should have turned them over before snapping a pic so you could see the TONS of huge fresh blueberries. Biscuits & Gravy, Potatoes, and Burrito were all on point. Highly recommend as long as you let us skip in front of you in line! read more

Tory's Cafe - GINORMOUS dinner plate-sized blueberry pancakes, links, biscuit & gravy, eggs over medium. Oh - and a piece of hubby's bacon. Wow. 060824 - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Quintessential diner joint with great coffee and excellent food. My biscuit was delicious - home made quality and they gave me real butter! Omelette was fantastic with fresh ingredients in the right proportion. I gotta give top marks to the owners who clearly pour their hearts into the business. There's a lively atmosphere with banter in the air a great way to start your day! read more

Tory's Cafe - Great coffee in a real mug! - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Perfect family breakfast restaurant I love the place! They have great energy in there! Nice food made with love by the owners read more

The owner is very friendly. The food was great. It is a nice neighborhood place. I agree with the reviewer that said to not let the outside scare you. It is at the south end of a strip mall (separated from the much larger mall strip mall next door). It has some cool designs out front and if you are not looking closely, you could mistake it for something besides a restaurant. We had a nice experience and will visit again. Do pay attention to the hours as it was closed on Monday the first time I stopped by. read more

This is an amazing gem that we discovered. The prices are really amazing and the quality of the food was excellent. I am from New Jersey. Since my move to Florida I have really struggled to find a breakfast spot that reminds me of the Diners i grew up on. The pancakes were exactly like a NJ/ NY diner. The potatoes were amazing. There is Eagles apparel around the place (Go Birds). The owners were busy serving a fully packed restaurant- and they were still kind and attentive despite being extremely busy. I will be returning for amazing breakfast, great prices, and excellent service with the added benefit of supporting local family owned business. read more

At Tory's, for yet another delicious meal. Today my husband had his favorite (corned beef hash). One of my favorites continues to be the angelic French toast and that fresh oh-so-good fruit salad. Ambiance? The perfect place to be part of the group...visit and chime in to conversation if you wish. Definitely a Cheers vibe. Love this place! And music! Service with love and joy...and more good interactions, smiles and Bridget has some incredible memory for your "usual" or favorite. Try it!! read more

Amazing and friendly atmosphere with killer food. The wife and husband run this place. He cooks and she serves. It's a simple spot, with good portions and quality of food. Our local friend Frank brought us in here when we were in town, and when we are back in Clearwater, we will definitely be back to this spot! I ordered two eggs over medium with a side of sautéed spinach, onions and peppers. He added light olive oil and garlic to my veggies, with a little salt and pepper. Very light and simple breakfast how I like it. This breakfast spot has amazing energy. As he was cooking, he is blasting Frank Sinatra and signing along. Very good morning read more

Tory's Cafe - 2 eggs over medium with sautéed veggies - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Today was our 1st time here. My wife had the veggie omelet with home fries. She asked for her potatoes to be cooked on the lighter side and they were spot on. I had the hash and eggs over easy the hash was crispy as requested the eggs were a nice over easy. The menu is bsic, not overwhelming like some place. Prices were not out of line with other breakfast places. We'll go back and maybe try lunch next time. read more

My husband said "I hope this restaurant lasts forever" right after we got into the car to leave. The food was absolutely amazing! Cheeseburger, fries, french toast, omelet...it was all delicious. Honestly, the best diner type food I've ever had. The service was top notch. Waitress was super fast, kind to our kids, and attentive to our needs. The energy of this place is upbeat. We loved that the music was loud and it felt like we had been coming here for years even though this was our first visit. read more

Tory's Cafe - Delicious half order of French toast - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I stopped in for breakfast, but what I got was far beyond. It was an experience (and also amazing breakfast.) From the moment I walked in, I saw regulars come in the door and crack jokes with the chef, and people enjoying their time together. I felt like I stepped into a different world, and I loved it. To top it off, the eggs Benedict was delicious, the hollandaise sauce they use was absolutely the best I've ever had. My wife had the quiche with bacon and spinach, and I tried a bite of that also, all of it was outstanding. Big props to the owners, this is such an awesome establishment, will definitely be back! read more

Great homestyle cooked breakfast ! I live in Orlando but every time we come to Clearwater we make sure to stop in at Tory's ! Service is amazing as always . Great tunes while eating a great breakfast is all you can ask for. Highly recommend this place ! Prices are also good especially for the economy we are in now. read more

Tory's Cafe - Bar area with the best waitress serving up some good coffee . - American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

We came across this restaurant here on Yelp and loved the fact that it wasn't where all the tourists fled to but where all the locals frequented. What a fun and close knit group! It was pretty packed when we went in, but they were so efficient and cleared a table straight away as soon as one opened up. The gal ran the show in there, and she was amazing! Never forgetting anyone and checking in on everyone. At one point when she was caught up for the moment, we all clapped for her! The food was delicious...home cooked and fresh. I ordered a 2 egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and a half order of french toast (which i shared with hubby). Hubby ordered the Deuce's Special, which he enjoyed thoroughly. The french toast was incredible! The bread had a hint of sweetness and didn't even need syrup it was so good on its own. My breakfast sandwich was delicious, light and fluffy eggs and cooked exactly how I ordered it. Cheers to the awesome chef!! Again, the food was outstanding, but what we enjoyed most was the friendly familiar feel of the establishment. Everyone worked hard, and were greatly appreciated...and even though it was super busy, they kept big smiles and let laughter and jokes carry them throughout the craziness. Never did they let the stress take hold of them! This place deserves an award for being delicious yet totally entertaining and fun! Thank you for letting us be apart of your family for breakfast! read more

This was such an amazing discovery! I was dropping my grandson off at school this morning in an area of town that I don't frequent. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I checked for restaurants in the area. Torys had a five star rating with 66 reviews. I figured I couldn't go wrong. so I asked Siri for directions. At first I couldn't find it because I assumed it was in a long strip mall that I was approaching. Under closer inspection, I discovered it was in a smaller area nestled into the corner. Not much to look at from the outside, but as soon as I opened the door, my senses were overwhelmed with the captivating aromas of an active kitchen. I assume it was Tory herself, that told me I could sit anywhere I wanted and while waiting on me, she kept the conversation going with what I can only assume as a group of regulars. But by the time I left, I felt like a regular also! Oh, I can't forget about the food! The portions were massive, well prepared and delicious. My eggs were cooked exactly as I wanted them. The potatoes were obviously homemade not from some frozen package. The corned beef hash was grilled to perfection, and the coffee was piping hot with my mug never more than half empty. Although this is out of my way, I'll make a point to come back. read more

Not happy that we parked and a "regular" parked after us and ran into the restaurant to get the last table. Leaving a first timer to wait for an open table. Will never go back not friendly. We left and went to a real restaurant... Proino's!! read more

Best place in the world to get a quick bite to eat. Great food and even better people running it. Been coming here for 7 years at this point. It's a quaint little place with lots of character, having the ambiance of a dinner you'd stumble upon through shear luck but be glad you did. Jeff and Mrs. Bridgette are the nicest people you will ever meet. read more

I love a place that makes me feel like home when on vacation and this was it. Food was perfect. Quick, hot, and delicious! Pancakes were huge and tasted great. Very cozy and welcoming with friendly owners, staff, and patrons. Got the job done before hitting the road but would have been a regular breakfast spot had we known beforehand. read more
