We had a group of 15 for Sunday lunch. We called the diner 20 minutes before arrival to alert them to a large group coming. By the time we got there, they were almost finished setting up a large table to accommodate us all. The food (various salads, burgers, wraps, etc.) was abundant and tasty, and our waiter kept checking with us to see if we needed anything else. A very pleasant experience overall.

I had the Reuben. It was delicious. The desert was the bomb. The best carrot cake I ever had and I'm a carrot cake pro. MY wife had the strawberry cheesecake, absolutely creamy and perfect. Then to find out, they bake their own deserts. WE'LL BE BAK. The sevice was top notch and the ambiance was great.​

It's a diner, what can I say?! Give it 3 1/2*. But it's been here for several decades. They used to have a sign outside, "We welcome your kids." Our family joke is that they took it down after we'd brought our kids there; they used to toss their bits of food off of the high chair trays, each as a toddler. . But, as my yelp friend Edward often says, I digress. So it's a Sunday afternoon and we're coming in with another couple from a nearby cemetery after the funeral service of someone we knew. The place is packed! I learned later on that it's because Valley Hospital's brand new building is right around the corner (we no longer live in the area). So, good for the diner! One friend had a turkey sandwich that she liked a lot. Her husband had a cheese omelet and he was happy too. My husband and I were each attracted to the special omelet of the day, wild mushrooms, with cheddar cheese, asparagus and tomatoes. Sounds delish! It did contain all the ingredients mentioned. But for some reason, it seemed kind of flavorless? I can't put my finger on why. Mild cheddar but plenty of it. Diced tomatoes. Bits of asparagus. Mine had some mushrooms, not too many, I knew they were mushrooms by the brown color and the texture but not any discernible earthy mushroom flavor. My home fries were quite burnt on top, which I like actually, but underdone beneath. I finished my eggs, left most of the potatoes. Rye toast was good, though pre-buttered because we forgot to ask for dry, so it was a little soggy. Coffee - it's a diner with a lot of turnover, so the coffee was fresh and good. Service is very good. No complaints. The meal was diner fine, which is to say not gourmet but definitely acceptable or better, prices not bad (about $75. pre-tip) for the 4 of us. If you need a decent meal and you're in the area, you could do better but you could definitely do worse, so I'd say don't hesitate to come here. Our one important note: it seemed that there's only 1 handicapped-accessible parking spot, which is kinda crazy for this big a place. One of our friends needs a cane and we had to drop her off while the driver went looking for a spot.

Food is typical diner menu nothing fancy, but they do attempt to flair up a dish occasionally. If more focus was put on flavor this diner would be 5 stars. Your palate will be pleased with the taste and your tummy satisfied with the portions. The highlight is the after dinner dessert with coffee. WOW! Anyone who says the service is horrible walked in with HIGH EXPECTATIONS. It's a diner! Save your misguided reviews for your local hot dog cart. Please continue on your journey seeking excellence. Ambiance is comfy and elegant. Parking is not an issue here. Yummy Tummy

My husband and I tried Tom Sawyer Diner for the first time last week. We stopped in after work for dinner. There were a good number of diners seated at the booths for the work week. The host and our waiter were very friendly. I ordered a blue cheese burger that comes with fries, pickles, and coleslaw. I was a fan. It's the type of burger that you have to cut because it's so tall; there's a steak knife holding it together. My husband got a veggie panini; he said it was ok. He was more of a fan of the spinach and artichoke dip that we ordered as an app to share. We both agreed that we liked the vibe inside of Tom Sawyer. It feels like a real diner - it's warm and cozy. When you walk in, you'll see Valentine's decorations already up. Also, the framed pictures leaning into the whole Tom Saywer theme were cute. We like the place and we'll most likely return in the future for a casual meal. So recommended!

Small diner but great food and great service! The owner here is so sweet and friendly. My parents love this place.

I saw some of the recent reviews and was a little apprehensive about coming here, but my experience seem to be different than the rest. Here are some of the positives: The waiter was very helpful and available for all of our needs. The food came out very quick and was delicious. I ordered a honey Dijon wrap and made some changes. All of my requests were honored. The menu is pretty typical of what you would see in a diner. There are plenty of good selections, and although the prices are a tad bit high, that seems to be the going rate for diners these days. And some of the negatives: Parking is very limited. We came on a Friday afternoon and there were no spots available. I was able to create my own by parking against the building. And if the lot is full, there's no street parking. The bathroom was clean, but did not have any paper towels only an air blower that isn't very powerful. When I walked out, I needed napkins to dry my hands. Overall, the experience was mostly good. If I was in the area, I would likely come here again.

Service was great and fast, and the restaurant looks like a classic diner. The food I would say was average. The omelet felt a bit overcooked, and the potatoes didn't have much taste. The butter served with the toast was great though. The manager or whoever was working the register was a great and nice guy. I'm sure if you get the right item, the food will be great.
