Reviews for TOM's Famous Family Restaurant 23 in Escondido, CA

I used to love this place. Stopped in to get their famous Pastrami. Could not even finish it. Dry, salty and just overall not... what I remembered at all. For $12 I expected to at least be able to finish it. Read more

The burgers were good and the fries were on the crispy side which we prefer. The robot that delivered the food to our table was... really cool. Haven't experienced that before. Read more

Had not been to Tom's in a while. Decided to have breakfast there as my brother was in town. After we ordered our breakfast, we... sat at our table and were served by a robotic server. I admit it was different and quite entertaining. Our coffee was filled bya human server. Food was hot and tasty especially the fluffy pancakes. Will return Read more

I have tried their food twice. first time I ordered a double cheeseburguer combo, and there wasnt much flavor on the meat. I... didnt like it much. their fries are good. 2nd time I ordered a chicken club combo and my chicken breast was hard to chew andlacked good flavor. I ordered some chili cheese fries and are good but veery salty, hope my experience is read by the owner andwork on those issues. thanks Read more

Prices have gone up due to post-vid inflation. But it is still great value family friendly restaurant with lots of options on... the menu. They make a great burger, fantastic fried chicken and their breakfast is always a good choice. Luv coming here. Read more

Had the breakfast #5 biscuits and gravy with 2eggs and bacon or sausage. Gravy was a little bland, but a little salt and pepper... helped. Everything else was great. They have a robot that brings out your plates of food to your table. Thought that was cuteand awesome!! Read more

Loved the biscuits and gravy as well as the tuna melt.

Fantastic food, service, and prices at this neighborhood diner, with a great menu with lots of up options for breakfast, brunch,... lunch, dinner, dessert, and drinks. Classic American sandwiches and burgers are great. They also have an excellent south of theborder "Mexican" menu, with huevos ranchers, chorizo, tacos, and burritos. The bread / buns used for burgers and sandwiches isvery soft and tastes home made. Very impressed. Their waffles and pancakes are so good. Order up front at cash register and thenchoose whichever table you want. Outdoor seating available. Very family friendly. Read more
