All around EXCELLENT. family owned, owner genuinely cares about customer experience, delicious burger(and they ask how you want... it cooked too!), PERFECT sweet potato fries, not those undercooked super thick stuff you see sometimes, perfectly done Read more

A great family restaurant. On the side of the shopping center facing the road. Can be hard to see.

The food was incredible. Had The Rachel, which was like a whole new Reubens and yum. The chicken tenders were fantastic, ... buttery and crisp. And the pancakes were fluffy, buttery and the perfect amount of sweet. Absolutely great meal Read more

This has become a regular place for breakfast. The pancakes are HUGE! Yummy waffles. They serve meats from local butcher. Staff... is always so friendly. Read more

For our last two visits, we decided to let go of our carnivore appetite and dive into the sea. We had the most amazing fried... fish. The catfish was to die for. From the cold Arctic waters and into the deep fryer, the cod fish kept its sweet flavor andflakiness. They were both unbelievable. Thank you Ms. Tracy, Mr. Bernie, Mr. Gary and staff. * * * * It has been 5 monthssince we first visited Tom and Ray?s and the love affair still continues. Thanks to Mr. Bernie, Ms. Tracie and their staff, weare always excited to drive the 1 hour (one-way) to their restaurant for our Friday night destination. Upon arrival to therestaurant our eyes immediately go to the Specials Board to see what delicious entrees and tantalizing desserts are beingoffered. If we don?t tell the waitperson what we want for dessert before ordering our entree, usually our choice is wiped offthe board - meaning ?gone, better luck next time?. Hence, we learned our lesson and order dessert first now. When you see thedessert menu, you can kiss your diet goodbye. The pandemic and Ms. Tracie?s desserts are not helping our waistline. Sorrydoc. * * * * Damascus, you domesticated me today with your hospitality. We were driving in the general area when suddenlyhunger hit us. Fortunately we found this hidden gem. We were given crispy potato chips with Old Bay seasoning while we waitedfor our food. They were crispy and delicious. For our starter, we ordered the spicy summer sausage soup. At first sip, mytastebuds exploded. The broth, vegetables and bits of sausages brought me back to the time of the Tang Dynasty, when thefireworks were created. The spices added to the soup enhanced the flavor of the soup but were not overwhelming. I never pass upmeatloaf or fried chicken when offered by a restaurant. They also had another favorite of mine, Chef?s Salad. Our side disheswere mash potatoes, green beans, mac & cheese and Sky?s fries. Let?s talk about the best fried chicken I have ever had in mylife.

We visited Tom and Ray?s for Saturday morning breakfast before a long day at work. It was the perfect way to start our day! The... portions were huge and the food was yummy! We enjoyed the chicken & waffles and bigger than your face chocolate chip pancakes.It was a sleepy Saturday morning so a bit slower than we were hoping for but the tables setup outside made for a lovely morningso we didn?t mind too much!

My first time here. Ordered the corned beef hash. I took a bite and it is so good I had to snap a picture for posting this... review. Seasoned just right. There are some bites with a little crunch, good texture. Potatoes are finely diced. Appropriateportion leaving me feeling satisfied but not overly full. Service is excellent! I will come back. Wonderful brunch. Thank you! Read more
