Tommy's Restaurant: A Beloved Breakfast & Brunch Spot in Hampton, VA

We really enjoy coming here to get the best bang for our buck. My go-to breakfast order everywhere is chocolate chip pancakes and they are the best here. They have crispy edges, cooked to perfection, and taste like a crepe. I was not a fan of the biscuits or hash browns. I like hash browns extra crispy and despite asking they were not up to my standards. Overall a good restaurant with great prices.

A great place to stop for a well-made and classic diner breakfast if in the Hampton, VA area. The decor is classic and the staff is very friendly. The food is the star, and I especially enjoyed the pancakes in my house special combo. It's worth noting this place only takes cash, and when I visited, their in-house ATM machine was not working. But definitely worth a stop if in the area for breakfast.

I have eaten here a few times but not since they reopened. This was my boyfriend’s first time. He was eager to try it since I was raving so much about the place. The decor is typical of a diner. Reminds me of grandma’s kitchen growing up. The kitchen is right there so you can see everything cooked to order. The menu is wonderful and I love the fact you can have breakfast, lunch and or diner food. Tommy’s is a cash only establishment. It states that right on the front door. They also have an ATM in the lobby/waiting area. There are table and chairs and they do have a room for a banquet or large event.. Our server was an absolute gem. She was very attentive but not too overbearing. It was so hard to decide what to eat but I ended up choosing the “Breakfast from the grill” - 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage and then two sides and french toast. I had no idea that it came with all of that! I’m very picky about my eggs and they were the perfect over medium. I also ordered brown gravy for my hashbrowns. My boyfriend ordered the 2 eggs with 2 country fried bone in pork chops. That also came with 1 side and toast or biscuit. You get very reasonable portions for the price. I would be surprised if someone didn’t end up taking home left overs. We went during a weekday. If you go on a weekend I highly suggest you get there when it opens. The line forms out the door and the parking lot will be full. But it is worth the wait! The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the floor is sticky but other than that - well exceeds standards.

Only 2 complaints... they don't know what extra crispy has browns are And the 2nd isn't really a complaint... but thr sweet tea is extremely sweet. Also, very tight building, make sure to bring cash The food was delicious!

Very good food. We were sat in the back with the group tables. It was just me and one other. I think we got lost in the busyness. But hey the food was very delicious.

This is a great local spot with great down home food. I love their fried clam strips and every one is super nice.

Tommy's is an incredible down home breakfast and lunch place. From what I understand, it's a local legend in Hampton. I have eaten here twice while in town for Supernova, and both experiences have been irreproachable and delicious. The place is usually full from open to close, but their hard-working staff flips the tables fast and gets you served with efficiency and friendliness. Tommy's is fantastic. From their breakfast food to their incredible seafood, you can't go wrong with any menu item. I can personally vouch for the eggs breakfasts, the fried catfish, and especially the heavenly shrimp and grits. Ohhh boy was that good. Loved it all and will certainly return anytime I am visiting the area!

Good diner with exceptional service from Von! Thank you, Von for the excellent experience, good recommendations, all with great humor and personality. Love the vibe and the prices are very fair.
