Thomas Restaurant

This place is time stamped on the inside and out. Like most places on the southside, it's got a lot of history and stories to tell. It's located on a pretty busy 87th street. It's almost impossible to cross the street to get to the restaurant. Let's talk about the food. So I got a standard breakfast which consisted of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. I wasn't too impressed with the pancakes. They tasted a little overdone. They kinda missed the eggs when sprinkling the cheese on them. No big deal! It was still a decent meal. Once you walk in the diner it's like stepping into a 1970s blaxploitation. You expect Shaft to walk in and ask for his usual soup and salad combo. It's a lovely place though to have breakfast at. Can't wait to come back.

I normally have a great experience here but today not so much. I ordered the "homemade" turkey burger and you can definitely tell it's not homemade. When I took the soup out the bag the broth spilled all over the place because there was a crack in the cup. So needless to say all I had left was the ingredients. I'm sure the Uber driver had some in his car too since the bag was wet. I also ordered the eggs to be "country scrambled " and I'm not even sure what that means but I know now not to order like that again. It was basically just folded. And the hash browns were super dry. I'm still going to order from them again I just know what NOT to get.

I have it there's start because the atmosphere is older restaurant with no updates, ever. The lady at the register was rude, but our waitress was super sweet and the food was delicious, I had the t bone steak which was cooked medium as I request it, the grits were creamy and the biscuit was soooo good, as well as their cream of chicken noodle soup. I also tasted the salmon croquettes which were amazing. However the atmosphere, well the place is an older restaurant that has not been updated and is ok, but the lady at the counter was super rude, kept making disrespectful comments which we ignored because we were there to eat. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive, although the comments on how much food we ordered were uncalled for. I know I'm fat and I'm here to eat, not to be judged! So if you do get food from here, I would suggest order to go.

This historic neighborhood joint has amazing food! I especially love their breakfast. True value for the money.

The service was quick and the food was served hot and flavorful. Extra ingredients were added by recommendation of the waitress. Great friendly atmosphere.

Long time neighborhood diner that cooks good breakfast food and gives you great portions. I order religiously on Uber eats so I can't speak to the dine-in experience. It looks pretty outdated , but I'd imagine it gives a nostalgic feel. Or it's simply outdated but that's okay lol, the food is good.

I ate breakfast there and I was very glad to see that they'd remodeled. I had grits, eggs, bacon and toast. I wasn't pleased with the taste of the grits cause they tasted very watery and bland. The bacon tasted like grease and very, very salty. The waitress brought my toast a few minutes later loaded with butter. I didn't ask for buttered toast. I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't so much. My son agreed with me about his breakfast. He also didn't like the taste of the French toast. He said it tastes different from what he is used to eating. It's a hit or miss. It's usually a miss when we come. I should have just got a breakfast sandwich which is usually a hit.

I haven't been there recently, but beforeCovid I tried to go annuallyThe restaurant was originally opened by my Dad in 1958. My visits have always been pleasant, and I like to talk to the owner. Hope to go back soon. I will review after my next visit.

Old time diner that's great to bring my senior citizen friends. Large portions of tasty and affordable comfort foods. We can sit in a comfy booth and visit. I enjoy the breakfast options. Fried chicken tenders and liver dinner have also been good.

My co worker ordered me some breakfast and look what was in my food a staple. Wow this was my first time eating their food and the last!!
