  Always can get a solid meal here without breaking the bank.  It's a great diner with great service.  I hope it survives in Cal City, with all the other places seeming to close up now because of the great Chicago people moving in.

  WE LOVE THIS PLACE !!!!!  We have been coming to this restaurant for years and years and now my kids love it too!!! The food is great...doesn't matter if you go for breakfast, lunch or dinner....it's always good.  The prices and staff are AWESOME as well.  We live in Portage Indiana (originally from Chicago) and CANNOT find another restaurant quite like it anywhere around.  It's worth my hour drive :)

  Went to try this place back out and it was a hit again! I got the BLT Club and someone else ordered the Southern Benny (it's kind of like a biscuits and gravy thing).  I really enjoyed the colorful waitresses that joke around the entire time.  Glad to see there is still a great restaurant in Calumet City.

  Totally hit or miss here.  First time I went for breakfast and it was delicious.  The second time I went, I got an omelette and the cheese wasn't even melted in the middle and my hash browns were totally burnt.   Our waitress was rude and slow.  Haven't been back since, but I'd would be willing to give it another try.

  Wonderful little resturant in Cal City. The portions are always of a good size. The prices are great too. This is the best place in the area to take your hoeny or relative for a weekend breakfast. They have great deals and good food Enough said!

  With this restaurant, it just depends. Sometimes we would get great food and service, but on other occasions, we would just sit and wait. I also had to send food back a couple of times(sorry, I don't like omelettes that still have runny eggs). My hasband's family were regulas (lived in the area for over 50 years) and very good customers, but it just depends on if the owners are there and how busy it is. When the place is on the up side, it does have very good food and we usually did have decent service, but at least 30% of the time, something would be amiss--long wait(at table), wrong order, food being sent back.
  The Calumet/Lansing area has many good places to eat and I never found Tom's to be more than mediocre due to the up and down service

  Go to Tom's for breakfast, and I doubt you'll be sorry! My uncle and I once practically lived at Tom's Restaurant. Their Bisquits & Gravy is delicious, especially if you throw it on top off some over easy  or sunny side up eggs, and mix it all up and endulge! Their omelettes are ensatiable. If you want a really affordable, can't miss deal, get the "2+2+2"  Not that their food isn't good later in the day, because it is good, but as far as breakfast goes, they are one of the best in the region.
