This is a nice family friendly hole in the wall restaurant. If you want some down home good cooking, this is where to get it. From authentic and delish polish food, to other dinners made with love, and now some great new sandwich options. They always have good soups I want to grab to go too. I'm part Polish and was raised on food Polish food. Their pierogis are spot on and delicious...even some unique ones like buffalo chicken or chicken florentine. Last week I stopped with my son and had the more traditional farmers cheese pierogis. They were some of the best I ever had. Even better than what I grew up on. The lazy pierogis and sausage were equally delicious. It's solid, quality homemade food with love, and has a cozy feel.

Handmade pierogis and "deconstructed" pierogis.

I will never eat pierogis again! There's no point...they wouldn't be this amazing! Completely made by hand, the pierogis are hot, crispy, melty goodness. John was so personable and funny, and the food was absolutely wonderful. According to John, "The entertainment usually starts in about 15 minutes."

Great place to stop and eat while enjoying Olcott Beach/ Carousel Park. Staff was very nice and friendly. The food was good. Great selection of unique pierogi flavors. They had polish beers stocked along with the typical American staples. They close between 2pm-4pm to get ready for dinner service.

Short ribs with mashed potatoes - most delicious!!

Hubby and I had dinner here a few weeks ago and the food was fabulous. Service was terrific too. It is owned by the chef and her mate. He takes care of the service and is really kind and attentive. The chef brought out her homemade banana cream pie to show the patrons and everyone wanted a slice! Presentation of the food is wonderful and we wished we could have eaten more. Doggie bags were a must. We can't wait to go back when the weather is nice enough to walk along the lake there. Great place to eat!

Polish taco with farmers cheese , polish sausage with sauerkraut

What can I say Excellent food !! Delicious polish dinners home made pierogi and many other special dishes . They offer all you can eat spaghetti on Monday nights . They serve a huge portion of a turkey dinner . All home made .last but not least the delicious desserts . I just had a vanilla raspberry cake it was to die for !! They serve beer and wine also . Trust me you won't be disappointed. I took a picture of the polish taco and raspberry cake . I can't forget the staff is great . You won't be disappointed !!

Clams Casino Bake with stuffed cheese bread stick. LITERALLY F*cking AMAZING. Mouth watering.

I had a great meal, Greek burger with a side of fries and gravy. Melt in your mouth kind of great!…read moreI was so disappointed with the service. When I walked in the waitress looked at me and didn't say anything, so I said "table for one" and she said "you can sit there" and gestured to the table I was standing besides. If this is a type of place that seats yourself, there should be a clear sign saying so. I sat down and she got me a menu. She came back with my drink and I told her I know what I want and she held up a finger for me to wait and said it'll be a few minutes. There was one other group there with me and maybe a couple other tables already sat. If the waitress can't handle the amount of tables there, please hire more staff. She took my order without asking how I wanted my burger done but it didn't take too long for my food, maybe ten minutes. She handed it to me with no napkins (burger and fries is a messy meal) and no Greek sauce to go with the Greek burger. She got me them when I asked. The dirty bathroom with no paper towels was a cherry on top of disappointing service. The food was amazing but the service and environment didn't match it. My suggestions: a sign that says "please seat yourself", more staff or training of current staff and more upkeep on customer spaces

Food came out quickly, was delicious, and very affordable. Great spot to stop for lunch.read more

Finding local breakfast joints that serve great food is my jam, both while on the road traveling or…read moreright here in my hometown. A recent stop at this old school diner in the downtown part of Lockport fit the bill perfectly. My SIL wanted to take me out for a meal for my recent birthday, so we decided to take a short road trip from Clarence to Lockport. Ambiance inside is classic city style diner with murals and drawings on the walls and mostly booths with red cushioned seats. The outside isn't all that inviting. Just go in and seat yourself and enjoy the great food, service and reasonable prices. I ordered a build your own omelet and my SIL had the 2-2-2. All the food was prepared properly as ordered. My omelette was one of the best that I've had in WNY. I frequently go out for breakfast to a number of local places and am very critical of how omelets are made. Tom's is one of the few that do it right. Home fries were made from scratch with skin on baby reds and were cooked precisely. Pancakes were large, fluffy and delicious. Portions were generous, ingredients were fresh, and service was prompt and friendly. What more can you ask? I highly recommend. It's even worth a small road trip.

Tom's is sort of an old school, retro looking diner with typical diner food…read more My table was already seated and drinking coffee when I arrived. The waitress was over shortly after I came in to take my drink order. I ordered eggs OM, toast and sausage. My eggs were cooked OE; the whole yolk oozed out as soon as I touched them. I still ate them because I was hungry and didn't want to wait for new ones and they weren't horrible, just not how I ordered or prefer them to be cooked. The prices are quite decent & lower than other comparable establishments. The server was not the fastest, but she was friendly.

When you drive by, if this place doesn't immediately spark your curiosity I'd be surprised…read more.. listen, stop and go inside! I really like this diner. It's got a vibrant rustic-can, loud but comfy feel to it. The place looks cool inside and out, you just know this greasy spoon is going to have good food and it doesn't fail to provide it either! You can order anything and leave happy (from the apple pie to the pig, beef and chicken sandwich). They have booth seating, counter seating for one (or two) and offer outdoor seating with a little picnic table, shaded area and they also accept cash/credit. On the menu, there's pig, beef and chicken items, even a fish fry. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with or without friends/family. Known for their BBQ, in a variety of flavors, it's simply finger-licking delicious! I like coming here for breakfast mostly, love me some good home fries and a juicy steak. Portions are large and filling. I've also ordered take-out and picked up my order, the staff is super friendly and there's such an upbeat vibe to the place.

Phenomenal food and prices!…read more I got a double bacon burger topped with onion rings, pulled chicken, and brisket that was HUGE! I had to hunch over to take a bit so I didn't get it all over me... great flavor and very delicious. It was a crazy order for me bec I usually keep it simple but this was calling my name. My server was great. She was super attentive and made sure my cup was never out of water. (I usually drink water when dining out) The place is def little so it gets packed quick. A couple booths and a couple tables. Maybe 10 total. Parking can be very tight in front so go to the back or side. I'll be back to try other things.
