Tom's Family Restaurant in Lower Sackville

The food and service are great at Toms.

Great food and great service

Chicken was very dry and too much dressing on Ceasars salad. Waitress dropped food off and never came back to check. Had to flag waitress down for bill

Wors search is not Wright and we asked for 2 kids oder sheers and got one.

I really loved it!

Tom s skillet was phenomenal! Parking: Little tight parking lot but foods so worth it Food : 5/5 |

Great breakfast / brunch spot..

Food was amazing!

Went there 2 years ago it was great But just went there and food was ok and my whole family got food poison from here Food

Its a wonderful restaurant, a real family atmosphere and the food is home cooked like Mom used to make. I recommend to everyone.

Family style diner, delicious food and friendly staff!

Amazing place people are fantastic services wonderful

One of my favourite places to have a meal. I had the chopped steak (hamburger. Smashed potatoes gravy onions and carrots. Loved it.

Food consistently good quality. A go to for my family

The creme brulee French toast is just 2 pieces of Texas toast, very dry & some caramel sauce poured over. Not enough sauce for the 2 pieces, but enough that it looks pretty. Unfortunately really underwhelming. Everyone else in our party also had mediocre average breakfast experience. Limp soggy bacon, eggs were warm not hot, everything was disappointing. Parking: Only 3 spots in lot. Difficult in & out, only a single car width driveway. Find metered parking on the street. Good luck for wheelchair access.

Came with a large group after a sporting event. Was able to accommodate our large group on short notice with no hesitation. First time there and will definitely be back! Food

Great food and service.

Overall a reliable good quality meal but sometimes they do not have enough staff working on what are normally busy days to handle the number of customers. Food is always good

Amazingnstaff and amazing food

I love the service and I love the food. If youre looking for a fantastic lasagna, this restaurant has it. Everything I tried from here, was excellent.

Great food & serves

$4.00 plus tax for a coffee?? Is a bit ridiculous cost is about .10 cents. Meals are expensive enough to have coffee included. Sorry it s the robberies like this that puts a very heavy black mark on the spot.

The service was excellent. Unfortunately I can not comment in depth with respect to the food since all I had was toast and milk. The service was above and beyond! The waitress was friendly, polite and very attentive to the table where I was seated and it is worth noting, we were the only customers she had seated out on the deck.

Had a beautiful meal out on the patio. The food was excellent and reasonably priced

Angie is lovely and her service was great. Things were quick but a little too quick, I discovered realllly late that my hamburger steaks werent fully cooked and I lost my appetite and didnt finish. Otherwise, the gravy was delicious, good fries, and my bf was happy with his burger/ fries. We will come back Im sure of it.

Went a couple of weeks ago and just thought to post a review. We went for Sunday brunch and the Captains Breakfast was excellent. My wife and son both had ribs and wings (for brunch! Theyre a bit odd) which were also very good. It felt a bit pricy but everything does nowadays so I wasnt surprised, and wasnt too concerned. We sat outside which was nice, the server was great. It wasnt our first visit and wont be our last - were not regulars, but its definitely well established on our list of places we might go. If you havent been, its worth a visit.

I haven t been to Tom s for a while but was there this week. Prices have gone up they need a Seniors Breakfast at a cheaper price. The menu was stained with food, it was too warm, and there is dust on the lights above the tables. Now that the prices are up I know they can do better. They have the monopoly of the only restaurant in Sackville that is comfortable to go and eat.

First time eating here but will be back. Burger are fantastic

Their homefries are the best Ive ever had

Love the food and the service..Amazing big portions..

Service was friendly and prompt. Food was very good. Eggs Benedict used slices of oven roasted ham.

First time to visit this restaurant. Came here with friends who are regulars. They said all of the food is good and we were not disappointed.

Great food! Our waitress Tina was great. Will be back!

First time visiting. Hamburger fries with gravy were very good.

Good service and portions.

Great food and a very wonderful staff.

Love this place. Great for breakfasts as well as any meal. Nice family atmosphere. Local favorite!

You gotta eat here!

update same as a year ago which is ok but for $38 with tip you get a Clubhouse small I mean small milk and a little piece of coconut pie which I can tell is definitely not made in house, for that money I m better off going to the Keg for a Steak

Early mothers Day dinner. Food came out quick and hot. The server kept drinks full without asking.

Its not bad, but its not good. It certainly is completely overpriced.

Came here as a child, came back after almost a 10 year hiatus.. was not disappointed.. the kids portions where great, sides and appetizers where great, main meals and dessert where absolutely flawless.. hot, fast, fresh and delicious. 10/10 will def make these guys a regular stop

Really good food and great service.

My wife and I used to love Toms. But we have busy lifestyles and live about 40 minutes away. We went there yesterday. With the choices on the menu, there isnt a big selection anymore. No clams or scallops in which I was hoping to order. Basically 70% of their meals were $17.75 like they were value meals or something because it was basically the lowest priced meals. The service wasnt the best. It was like it seemed like we werent even there, from the staff. We used to brag about how great Toms was, but I would be somewhat embarrassed to recommend Toms now. The one great thing about Toms is, they have great fries and the give a large portion of them. So at least you will not leave after eating your meal feeling hungry. That is one thing I do not like when places give you just a very small portion of fries, and then I leave hungry after paying the bill. Toms will not disappoint you that way. You will definitely leave feeling full.

Service was great. We were there for lunch. So many choices, but decided on the fish and chips. They were Parking: Loads of parking at the back of building. Toms also has a drive thru.

Portions are amazing, food flavor is...good, in a good way. Youll be full and well taken care of.

We placed an order to be delivered, and it not only came to the correct location, it was 5 minutes early. Ive dined in many times and it was always great food and atmosphere. This time, the food was above and beyond!! So impressed with this restaurant!

A hidden gem! At least to me. I ve been driving by this place for years and didn t know it was there. I met a friend there a couple of times lately and both times was an excellent experience all around. Especially the service! I ll be back!

Had an excellent meal here

Amazing chicken parmesan. Friendly environment and staff.

We had a reservation but showed up early. It was not an issue as it was still quiet. Mousaka and lemon-roasted potatoes were awesome. He enjoyed his ribs/wings combo. Its our go-to place for special occasions and were never disappointed.

My server was amazing. Food was fantastic... prices great.

What a great spot. We went last week and had the most lovely waitress. Hot hamburger and hot chicken sandwich were delicious.

I absolutely enjoyed it a cozy restaurant located on a very busy street. Not living nearby, I value having dining options beyond fast food when Im out. Despite only visiting twice, the experience has been consistently delightful. The food, especially the clubhouse and fries during my last visit, was exceptional. The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the bacon flavor stood out, providing a refreshing contrast to fast food alternatives. The fries were perfectly cooked and fresh. Even my fussy teenager thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Surprisingly, both visits during suppertime revealed the place wasnt crowded, offering a relaxed atmosphere. Service was prompt, and the server checked in to ensure everything was satisfactory. With good quality food and reasonable prices, whether dining alone, with family, or friends, I would certainly recommend it. Dietary restrictions: Having the option of choosing the type of bread for my sandwich was particularly appreciated since I cannot consume whole grains. It adds a thoughtful touch to accommodate different dietary preferences. Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu available

The food is always great, no bad meals here and no long waiting petiods. The serving staff are awesome to deal with. This is definatelly a favourite and highly recomended it.

Depends on the day. Theyve make alot of mistake, sent extremely inedible food, but half the time its decent, and sometimes its really good. Its a 50 50 chance youll end up wasting your money. Not alot of options for those with allergies in sackville so I keep trying. I just wish theyd stop messing up my food and giving me gluten and dairy. Its such a risk everytime I order out

pleasant staff good hot food fish chowder small parking area Quick service Food : 5/5 |

Consistent good food quality, incredible staff.

A long time Sackville institution... I havent been here often, but the food is consistently good. Reasonable prices and a lot of regulars. You can get good take home dishes as well to reheat.. The service was terrific and I suspect longer term staff. Good home made desserts as well.

Always excellent!

Been loving this place since it has been opened. The owners are fantastic and take great pride in the service and food. I would give 10 stars but only allowed 5.

Best Caesar wrap in the city. Huge portions and always such friendly service!

Very disappointed, use to be a good restaurant. $3.50 for a coffee, and no one comes to refill with your breakfast? Eggs were cold, toast dry (no butter) and service incredibly slow. We had 3 different people, wait on us for service, and bill took close to 20 mins to receive.

Great food and lovely waitress

Good family-friendly place to take my kids to learn to eat like other humans. Food is nostalgic to my own childhood restaurant experiences. Waitresses are very helpful meeting childish imaginations and young expectations about ordering food. Kid-friendliness: Waitresses were very patient dealing with my kids and this allowed me to let them practice ordering foods from the kids menu that were practical to their needs and wishes. The lidded childrens drinks with straws are irreplaceable. The crayons and color placemats are a great distraction as they learn to wait for food patiently.

The food is kinda bland and way too expensive for how much you get, but it was still good food. Its not fancy by any means but a nice place to bring the family. The service was good and quick.

Hearty portions, the skillet was fantastic!!!! Highly recommend!!

This is an incredible gem of a family restaurant. To not only stay afloat but seemingly thrive with a traditional restaurant model like theirs youve got to be exceptional and theres no question this group is excellent at what they do. Will absolutely be bringing my family back for a weekend breakfast, and hope to try their dinner menu soon.

Parking: Could have a better parking lot. To small for all for the other business there. Food

The donair was the worst I have ever had, the fries were over cooked and service (what service never once did the waitress come by to ask if there was anything else we would like. Will never return.

Service was great, food was really good and hot, even the coffee was good. Good place all around. Food

Great place to eat. Home made and tastes great. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Went here because they have great Greek food.

Had brunch on the patio. Our server was so kind. The food was so great, especially the hash browns. I will be back definitely.

Was happy to try a local place that is independent. Unfortunately, disappointed. It took an hr to get our breakfast despite only 5 tables of ppl. Food was stone cold, didnt eat it. Our server was very pleasant, however, and lovely. Coffee was fabulous! Will try it one more time b4 I give up on a local independent business.

Unfortunately after giving a 5 star review months ago, we returned today and were greatly disappointed. Yes the restaurant was busy, but we sat for 15 minutes or more before we were acknowledged that we were waiting to be served, and it wasn t by our waitress, she had to go find our waitress. People who were seated 10 plus minutes after us had eaten, paid, and were gone before we even got our food. I 100% support local, but will not be back to Tom s. The skillets had next to no hash browns in them and were overloaded with onions. Once we finally received our food (20 plus minutes after ordering) it was cold. And not once were we asked how our meal was or if we needed anything else.

lasagna was so bad, couldn t get orders right either

The Tom s breakfast skillet changed my life! It was perfection. I loved how once everything was mixed in the skillet, the cheese was baked on top. Took it to the next level. I will be raving about this skillet the whole drive back home to Ontario. My partner had an omelette that was also delicious. The portions were huge and very filling. Fresh ingredients and good prices for what you get. Highly recommend.

Our server was Collette, friendly, quick, filled water without being asked. The meal was the best Ive ever ate, minus my own cooking. Pancakes light and fluffy..portion size was great for the price.

Great blueberry pancakes. Excellent service.

Mashed potatoes cold. Thai bites like little bricks. Table wiped, seat sticky.

Good Greek food

Great food, great atmosphere, service was awesome. Fish and chips are great, and the club is excellent! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is great!

Lovely diner food, nice atmosphere, really nice and efficient servers. Our orders were taken in a timely manner, the food arrived a short time after. Great place, great food, great servers and great prices.

If you are looking for having a nice breakfast/ brunch, this place is definitely recommended. We had strawberry and banana pancakes which were awesome in taste and look with good quantity. Plus Garden Skillet was so good as well.

6.00 for a glass of orange juice? Unbelievable. Wont be back

Good food and friendly service. What you would expect from a family restaurant. Nothing special.

Very nice like home

Absolutely amazing. Enjoy time with your family. Kids will love you even more. Great job for all staff there. Great organization among lifeguard crew.

Pleasant staff and quick service. Food was exactly what I ordered. Clean bathrooms.

Food is very great and the waitresses are wonderful. Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility, Food : 5/5 |

All good! Great breakfast, great service and nice atmosphere.

I had haddock tips which were not fresh and over cooked. I know my fish was brought up on it. Parking: No need

Good food, very large portions.

We ate at Toms last night. I ordered the chicken parm. I was surprised at the portion. The portion was under half what I have seen in the past with an increase of 3-4 dollars. I think the chicken was about 1/8 of a pounded out chicken I will not recommend as all prices have gone up and portions and service has gone down

Nice family restaurant with a good selection

We showed up unannounced with 28 people for lunch. The staff hit a homerun with us. You could tell it was not their first rodeo. Everything went smooth, and they were probably not staffed for such a large group, but you couldnt tell. I had the sack-vegas burger and it was good.

There is nothing on the menu. Its not worth opening the door.

If you are wanting to eat at locally owned restaurants, this is a great place.

Food was good but took long to arrive. Service was good

Very good, Had the fish and chips, was absolutly amazing. Recommend

Have been coming here for years. Definitely worth stopping and trying it out if youre in the area. Their Caesar wraps are my favorite.

Food was hot fresh and delicious

Excellent service great food

Restaurant went downhill, The atmosphere felt like the restaurant was on its last breath. food hot hamburger was not tasty. The fries overbooked. I was not impressed and will not return.

All around good place to eat. Parking: Had to park in another lot. It was not a problem the little walk was worth it. They were busy

We just left there and the waitresses ask me if everything was OK because I didnt eat my sandwich. I told her no because it was soggy, then she comes back with the bill and they never took any money off at all. I think that terrible of this place. Not the waitresses fault but the business its self . Guess I wont be going back there and we were regulars. Disappointed customers

Dietary restrictions: Staff well versed on GF. Food

Good diner food. Fast service and friendly staff.

Very yummy eggs bene

The prices are higher than their menu online. The Caesar salad says it comes with Parmigiano Reggiano, its actually the powdered shaker Parmesan. The poutine says it comes with cheese curds, it came with mozzarella. The burger was flavorless, even McDonalds understands how to use salt and pepper. The best part of the meal were the croutons, dont change those.

Ate here a few times. Always a good meal and friendly service Food

Disappointing

Cozy atmosphere, comfort food, and lovely service. Parking: Theres parking in the front and back. Food : 5/5 |

It was nice, the food was delicious but it was a bit noisy.

Toms always good, getting a little pricey, but most places are. Great place alone or with family or friends. Parking: Room for parking in front and in the rear. Kid-friendliness: Children are always welcome, something for most every taste, even picky eaters. Wheelchair accessibility: Main level entrance, easy for wheelchairs and scooters.

The dining room has six heat pumps, the ambient temp was fantastic. It was a room, one of both temperature and ambience. One could dare say it was room temperature. Their donair plate concerns me while also intriguing and cautiously exciting me. Reason enough to return, eh?

Wasnt my best experience, neither my worst.

Breakfast for two , priced at breakfast for four ?? And the breakfast is smaller ?

Little slow service but I take that to be because they were understaffed. Other than that not bad

The service was great. The food was delicious.

We had a birthday dinner here, the service, the attitude of the people who work there was very nice and friendly but we expected the quality of food to be better. It was not worth it tbh. We ordered cocktails and the way it was mixed was not good. I might still go here to get something to eat but idk if Ill take my whole family here as a family dinner sorta way.

Walking in it wasnt busy but the staff was a bit disorganized. We get our seat and the waitress seemed like she just wasnt having a good day. Food was way over priced and not filling. Do not order coffee its 3.50 for a small cup that tastes like dish water and Im an avid coffee drinker. Their orange juice was 6 dollars a glass and a kids french toast was literally one piece of bread for 6 bucks. I ended up having to go somewhere else to feed my two year old because it did not fill him. Also the fries were cold. Also I would say not wheelchair friendly at all.

Enjoyed eating there and would go there again

Disappointing for a 1pm brunch. Burnt old coffee, terrible eggs benny, great friendly servers, great pan fries, my wife had an ok omlette. Wont be back.

After bring a regular for years. The girls are fabulous and are always so happy and pleasant. For the last year to year and a half every time we go...we are disappointed...well 4 out of 5 times unhappy with the food. They always have new cooks and I suggest the owner actually hire experienced cooks who know how to cook...time the dishes so all is hot and cooked properly. Twice we had hamburger served raw in the middle, food served cold , overcooked fries that were like little pieces of wood or a salad so spicey I couldnt eat it. The salad isnt supposed to be spicy so I dont know what happened there. The servers always try to fix the problem and are so sorry but the cooks are clueless...( most of them are learning how to cook ) . Yesterday was the last time , and as bad as I feel for the girls who are GREAT... the cooks are terrible most of the time and for what they charge the food needs to be much better. Raw hamburger.....really???? Not good...OWNER PLEASE FIX THIS OR YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE MORE CUSTOMERS....I always support local and cant support Toms any longer

This is hands down the best restaurant weve tried in the province. The food is always so delicious, the service is always exceptional , and service is quick.

Eggs Benedict were cold ut the home fries were hot.

Wonderful friendly place. Love the feel of this place. Great with my kids as well.

The food is delicious and the service is super friendly

Great food. Great staff. We will make a point of stopping here whenever we are driving through Lower Sackville.

Great breakfast place!

This is my favorite breakfast place in the halifax/HRM area. It trumps smittys and ihop no problem. I always get the toms breakfast skillet and have never been disappointed! Highly recommend

Very good, friendly service.

Always enjoy a breakfast or lunch at Toms

We went their for a speedy, tasty breakfast and thats what we got. Excellent restaurant. Would recommend for families. Reasonable priced compare yo other places. We eat out alot They are accommodating your food needs. No compromise.ise in quality and selection of food. What more can I say.. Vegetarian options: My husband had gluten-free bread. It was good. We are dairy free and were able to find lots of good food and accommodate our needs. Dietary restrictions: As above. I have food allergies/intolerance and still lots I could eat. Very good. Parking: We didnt have any problems psrking, and the restaurant had people at most of the tables The restaurant is large compared to most restaurants. Kid-friendliness: I saw the waitress being kind and speaking to some children. It was quite comforting. She just stopped to say hello to the children.

My lady and I love going to Toms for any meal. Excellent food and freindly service. Great place to take the family!

Great food
