My work has hosted a few forum-type shindigs here, and most recently at one such shindig, I had breakfast while listening to people discuss water issues. I have to admit, the scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage were much more appealing (and tastier) than listening to a bunch of government and corporate bigwigs talk about how to conserve water.
It's typical diner fare. But, I will say the scrambled eggs were excellent. I don't like fru-fru eggs that are a undercooked and watery. I like me some hearty, scrambled in about a pound of butter eggs. And, that is what I got.
Tom's also has a great vibe -- again the whole diner experience. Saddle-up to the bar, take in some of the history hanging on the walls, and perhaps see a few Arizona notables walk in (Phil Gordon must be a regular because I spotted him on my first visit.)
All in all, if you want a nice, no-frills, but definitely one-of-a-kind Phoenix tradition, head to Tom's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Oh, yeah, and they validate your Patriots Parking Garage ticket, so FREE parking... YEAH!
