I’ve been to Tommy’s before for drinks and such, but never the food until Monday. Man, the food was so bomb and very filling. The milkshakes were also delicious. I wish I got the server’s name but she was absolutely killing it. She was running the bar and serving us all the while smiling and doing the best. Thank you for great service. Definitely will be coming back.

We really enjoyed our visit to tommy's diner. We will come back again the next time.We are in the city. The service was great. The chicken sandwich was very good in crispy. The beef dip sandwich was very tasty but a little dry. It has a great patio just outside and enjoy the surroundings.

★★★★

The food is very good, it has many options for breakfast, brunch or lunch, the only bad thing is the waiting time, you must be prepared to get a table (15 min) and after placing the order 45 minutes or more for you to receive your meal.

Cute retro diner in Kingston that came recommended to me. Love that a lot of the breakfast options came with baby cakes with are two medium sized fluffy pancakes and syrup. Very reasonable pricing, you seat yourself and there is street parking or you can chance the metro parking lot across the street.

I'm not usually a big fan of breakfast places as i find it expensive for what you get but this place impressed me. The "Smokin Lizzy" Eggs Benedict were cooked well and the white BBQ sauce complimented the meal perfectly. The "Cream Cheese Pancake Club" were spongy, rich and sweet (maybe even too sweet as we didnt use the maple syrup provided) and the fruits were fresh. Both meals were very filling for a fair price. Finally, the atmosphere here is really nice, especially if you like retro diner themes.

I would say this restaurant is average .As I found nothing on the menu that really said I have to try this ,Im glad I went in for a burger the burger was great and the toppings for that burger was awesome but the fries were the frozen pre pared a I. Q. F . Brand of fries very bland tasting I did have an average experience that was pleasant and very comforting atmosphere like a fusion of a roadhouse and sports bar .and the wait staff was pleasant and efficient . .

Had high hopes for this place as i was driving past Kingston. Parking is a pain so just park across the street in the plaza. The good: the atmosphere is welcoming, the service is good. The bad: sandwich was TERRIBLE. I got the big dip with fries ... No flavor, the meat was cold, lousy small toppings of cheese and like 3 fried onions ....utter shyte. The sandwich costs nearly $20 and is big enough for a medium sized mouse. I told the server i didnt like it and he said awww thats too bad ... The fries looked seasoned, but werent. I felt ripped off.

I ordered the deep-fried pickles and corn dogs, and they were just okay. The pickles werent as crispy and breaded as I expected, and the corn dogs were pretty standard. What keeps me coming back, though, are the milkshakes! I always go for the strawberry chocolate or banana chocolate, and theyre consistently delicious every time!

Bacon was cold and undercooked. Eggs were wrong. Brought new eggs to eat with cold toast and potatoes. Paid full price. Will not be going back.

WORST GARBAGE FOOD THAT CAN POSSIBLY YOU CAN EAT THEY ARE LUCKY THEY ARE NOT IN TORONTO THEY WOULD BE CLOSED IN A FEW MONTH WITH THERE BREAKFAST PRICES AND QUALITY YOU NEED A GOOD STIMACH TO DIGEST THE FOOD. FOR 3 PEOPLE TO HAVE A FEW ITEMS TO EAT TO PAY $70 ITS A HIGHWAY ROBERY. I WOULD THE HAMBURGER IS LIKE A ROCK AND A FEW EGGS. LET THE RESTAURANT ONCE TRY JOHNNYS HAMBURGER IN SCARBOROUGH FOR $12 FOR A COMPLETE COMBO THEN THEY WILL SEE WHAT ITS LIKE TO SURVIVE IN TORONTO. TO PAY $70 FOR ONE HAMBURGER AND A FEW EGGS IS A HIGHWAY ROBERY. NEVER WOULD I RECOMEND THIS DUMP TO ANYONE. AND PAYING FOR PARKING AT THE SAME TIME FOR A CUSTOMER IS NOT A WAY I WOULD EVER WANT TO COME THERE AGAIN.

Wide menu of pub-style offerings to satisfy most tastes. Servings are reasonable in quantity but somewhat expensive. Prompt and friendly service. Great recorded music selection but volume could have been lower. Popular with university students.

We were heading from Peterborough back to brantford and stopping for breakfast, Tommys came up on our search, we checked the menu and started driving faster. Showed up, got a couple of seats at the bar, and proceeded to drool over the menu for 20 minutes. We actually looked at each other and said man I hope the foods bad or Im going to want to drive the 2.5 hours back It was absolutely not bad, it was amazing. Atmosphere was like an electric 50s style garage diner/bar Staff was awesome and friendly Food was amazing. Buddy had the King Louis (chocolate chip banana bread french toast) I had the meatlovers breakfast We split an order of flapjack wraps Amazing time, were going to be back, and probably try to take on the 3lb burger challenge while were at it

Stopped here to try and get lunch for takeout but was disappointed. Atmosphere looked fun but the people that work there seem confused. I said that I wanted to get takeout and the server pointed me to the counter area. So I went, asked for a menu and said that I wanted to get takeout. Finally, stood there and waited for someone to take my order. A server behind the counter asked me and I said I want to order takeout. What does she do? She tried give me a bill. I said what is this? Are you Sebastian?. No. I told you that I want to order food to go. Ok, sure. Brings out a tablet. I ask how long it would take. Oh, 20-25 minutes. For take out? So much time was wasted already. Thats too long to wait for a simple omelette. Id avoid.

Kingston has a lot of great breakfast spots and this one just ain t it!! In terms of food; we ordered scrambled eggs, omelette and Caesar. One of the eggs had hair in it and had to be sent back! The eggs weren t seasoned whatsoever and since the server couldn t care less about our table we had to wave and chase people! The tables around were not cleaned and so we had a lot of flies around. There was nothing to write home about.

October 22, 2024

I just payed 62$ for 2 perogie poutines and 2 pops with tip. I asked for sour cream and one poutine without onion. Not either poutine got onions and no sour cream or forks. The service is horrible last time I ordered they forgot my drink. They over charge and the service is horrible, didn t get any refund at all . Never coming here again

Went to this restaurant yesterday with my family and received great service and food. Went back to Tommys on September 13th, but after being told to sit anywhere, the minute I mentioned it was for one, I was told to sit at a smaller table in case a large group came in. There were plenty of spots open, and Google shows this as a non peak time. It was not the server who took order who said this. Despite the great experience last time I may have to re-evaluate if I am coming back.

Breakfast fare was as expected. Not bad. Not great either. Service was spotty and/or indifferent, depending on who you got. We got a mixed up order and a long wait. They took 15% off the bill, but the problem was never the price... the server just wasnt on their game and didnt seem to care.

I really hate leaving a bad review, as the food was pretty decent. However, the waitress we had seems to hate her job and/or people. Maybe shes burned out or there are often lots of unpleasant people or something is going on with her personal life. Either way, it made for an unpleasant & rude experience that was not warranted. Hope things get better for her.

My friend had the breakfast poutine for the second time, so they must be doing something right! We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our meals. Overall the service was great, the food was great, and because we got there at a decent time on a Sunday morning there was no wait. Overall I definitely recommend for breakfast.

I usually don t review. I have recently moved to Kingston. I have been coming here for 3 months now, and this is hands down the best bar I ve ever been to. There s a blonde bartender I think her name is Holly. She is consistently the best. She s attentive, assertive while still being friendly. She is everything you want in a bartender. The security is pretty great too. All around it s a good vibe. I feel welcomed, and taken care of when I come here. I recommend it to all of my out of town friends who come visit. And anyone I meet that asks where to go for a good time, my answer is Tommy s. Thank you Tommy s.

Went in and ordered a virgin Caesar while waiting for some friends to go on a group motorcycle ride. Holly the bartender was slow to serve and seemed cold at best. Took her time doing the most useless tasks before asking me what I needed. Do you need something? Was how she addressed me when I tried to get her attention to grab the bill. Upon receipt of the bill, I saw that she had charged me for a full priced alcoholic Caesar. When I brought it to her attention she said thats just how it is on the menu. I paid it and left.... This place is garbage if you have any standard of service beyond entitled queenu brat level of service.

I had an unfortunate experience at Tommys. My partner called in a pick up order for a brunch burger and the jack rabbit slims. The server read the order back to him and everything seemed fine so he went to pick it up. When I opened my order it wasnt what I had expected so we double checked the menu . Turns out there are two breakfast items with the exact same name: an eggs benedict order and an omelette order. We called to see what we could do about it and their server could only offer to punch in the correct order with a %20 discount but couldnt do anything else because she had read the order back to us and we had agreed. She acknowledged that the two items had the same name and that she should have clarified the order but there wasnt anything else the manager (Leslie) would do for us. We didnt know there were two items with the same name so in her reading it back to us the jack rabbit slims we didnt know that we could be ordering more than one thing. In my opinion this is reflective of poor menu design (two separate menu items with the exact same name), and a failure to properly train staff to identify to proper items. Overall, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I wont be ordering from here again. Ive noticed the overall quality and service experience at Tommys has declined (unengaged servers, slow service, etc), and I believe this instance to be an unfortunate example of this.

Normally I love this place but I had an awful experience yesterday. After being seated, the waitress came over to ask if we needed help with the menu. I said that I was having trouble, as I needed an option that was dairy and soy free. The next words out of the waitress s mouth were Well, you came to the wrong place . I m a new mom and just had to make a diet change as my daughter was just diagnosed with a dairy and soy allergy. I m already exhausted and having a hard time with this change. We came to Tommy s because we recommended it to some family in town visiting. It really ruined my experience to have someone throw it right back in my face. To make matters worse, the waitress brought me the wrong meal, and I could see her making faces and complaining to other staff the whole time. It really made me feel bad. To the waitress: I hope you read this review and start to act with more kindness. People like me are not trying to make your work harder. We are people too - treat us that way!!

I m very unclear as to why this restaurant has such high reviews. The only thing I can think of is the atmosphere, service and food gets better as the day goes on? We were there for breakfast and had to wait 40 mins to be asked if we wanted coffee or beverages. Another 30 mins wait for our food after our order was placed. The food came cold and one of our meals was soaked in grease and overdone. The waiter was indifferent and said this is how our food is normally (he indicated that the long wait was not due to being short staffed) The best part of the meal and the kicker was that we sat in the booth by the kitchen and we had the pleasure of hearing the serving staff and kitchen belittle the customers, which included us as we had commented on our cold food and the timing. Overall our bill price was adjusted however if at Least two or three tables had issues with their food perhaps it s not the customers? Not sure

*Updated* This little Classic Dinner has a beautiful atmosphere and extremely kind and friendly staff. The food is amazing as always. The prices seem to have went up by what I presume is quite a bit. I and my partner went for a lunch and it cost 70$ after tip and tax. We used to be able to go and it only cost 50-55$. So I was a little shocked, love the restaurant but cant afford that for a simple diner meal.

I have never been at an institution like this before. Gavin made my experience an absolute 10/10 - he was kind and welcoming, the definite experience you want from a bar tender at any spot. I recommend you go to Tommy s if you want a fun time.

I came in yesterday, Sunday, and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the lovely Luciana who enhanced my entire dining experience! Food was exactly what I wanted and was delicious. Excited to come back soon. My only issue would be how loud the music was. It was difficult to have a conversation.

Wait time : 30 minutes at the door because the boy managing the wait list was super laid back. 3 empty tables and yet we were made to stand out in the cold for 30 minutes. The kitchen is slow AF. I cant say this enough and so are the servers. We saw food orders sitting on the window to be picked up by servers. Despite repeatedly asking for ETA and being told 2 minutes, we waited an additional 15 minutes for everything to arrive. It took 1 hour 15 minutes overall to get to our first meal for the day. Now. If you have all the time on earth to wait this long, then youve got good food - Ill give them that. Its the inefficiencies that really took away from the delicious meals they can whip up.

I love Tommy s so much. The food, the atmosphere, and the service! I thought for sure Taylor Swift somehow found time in her busy schedule of absolute world domination to be a server at this awesome diner, but it turns out I got her confused with my server, Emily! Even though it wasn t THE music industry serving me, I couldn t have been happier with Emily s attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, wicked sense of humour, charming personality, and of course her ability to name every Taylor Swift song in under 6 seconds. Next time I come in, I will definitely ask to be put in Taylor Swift s (aka Emily) section! Don t blame me!

First time here and breakfast was great. The fruit side dishes were unusually fresh and delicious, as was the avocado.

My first time at this diner for breakfast, I brought my 12yo son. We had a delicious meal. I had 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon and baked beans. The bacon was cooked perfectly for my liking and the baked beans just added to the meal. Our server was Emily and she was so great. Clearly she has worked here for while because she is super laid back even with a busy Sunday student crowd. She knew the menu so well and was able to give us some suggestions to our order. We will be back

Awesome place to hang out with friends. I came to try the food after Ive heard many positive reviews. I ordered The Terminator with a Basket of Onion Rings. Typically when I go to restaurants, the entree would not fill me unless I order a side, but Tommys portion sizes are massive. If youre looking for a tasty fair priced meal with potential leftovers to bring home, Tommys should be at the top of the list.

Tommys is and a must to go in Kingston. You want a Experience that you will go back to. This is it. Its incredibly clean. The food is presented dinner style but with a 5 star touch. The cooks in this establishment CARE!, and it shows. Message for Tommy.: you should be the diffintion of hard work, and somone that cares about there business in the dictionary. SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR SELF! Vegetarian options: There some in there. You will be happy. Dietary restrictions: As I said they care. You kindly tell them what you want and they will deliver. Parking: Parking is fine. You will find it. Kid-friendliness: I had my kids in here for lunch. No problems. Wheelchair accessibility: No problems roll right in. Lots of room.

Note: popular place, especially on weekends so expect a short wait. Shout out to our server Emily for her excellent service and kindness. The atmosphere is so unique, fun, and cool. They play good music and have great decor. The food was also really good. I had the Lovesick Benny, which was good but had like one piece of spinach per Benny (sad). My friend got the Billions Benny, said it was well seasoned and cooked, but found a bristle or something hard in the food. Otherwise the eggs, toast, home fries were delicious. Would come back and recommend.
