It looks like a lot of people are split on Tom's. Now lets get the obvious out of the way. It is the Southside people, plus this is a late night diner, plus this is the SOUTHSIDE. The diner is not in the greatest of conditions but the booths are big enough to seat a group of 6 which is great at 2am. Be nice and your food will come out faster, at like a hooligan and you will probably be waiting a little longer. But in general the food normally comes out pretty fast
Now, to the food. A couple things. Stick to the breakfast, because it is good and nothing beats a good breakfast spot after a night at the bars. The pancakes and breakfast sandwiches are my favorite.
Second, I really thing they have a good late night gyro. Don't ask why out of all the places in the Southside that I choose Tom's to get a Gyro, but they have an XTRA Large Gyro. The moment I saw that on the menu, I just could not resist. The end of result: I was good because it was a very large gyro, but the quality of meat was not of Mike and Tony's. But I did not expect it to be great because it was so large and that was enough to satiate me at the time.
Overall, Tom's is your spot for a some good food and a place to go over the bad decisions you may have made earlier in the night.
