I am horrified to find that in almost two years this is the only real time that Yelp has let me down. We were misinformed that this place was actually decent. 3 and 1/2 Stars? Delusional! I went here...

Well, rather interesting. You walk in, very old interior, truckers waiting for lunch, geezers yacking away. It's obviously the local hangout for the elderly crowd. Not putting it down for that....

The thing about this place is that it's like a neighborhood diner, but located on the busy street of Rainier Ave. I would compare it to the likes of Denny's but that wouldn't be fair, as Tommy's Cafe...

A diner feel. Lots of character. But prices are higher than you would expect and the last times I ate here I left feeling hungry. Nice place for a basic breakfast but don't expect to be blown away.

I had passed this a million times in Renton and never even considered going in but after reading about it on yelp I gave it a shot. The food was good and I would definitely suggest the home fries for...

I love Tommys. I order twice as much food as I will eat so that I can have leftovers. The service is very cool and attentive. Very well priced. Family owned and operated I think. Can be super busy on Sunday...

I had a really nice breakfast here today. I might have to try lunch & dinner sometime. I've driven by this place all the time. Thanks to Yelp, I probably wouldn't have stopped by. Our server was...

This place suits Renton to a T! I can't believe that I actually said that, but it's soooo true. Ya, the decor could definitely use a change, there's nothing worse than sitting on cracked vinyl...

What is there to say about Tommy's? Well despite its larger size, it definitely falls under the diner/dive category. With its subdued decor and signs, it's just as easy to miss, or dismiss for that...

After an exhaustive morning of Black Friday shopping we were in desperate need of breakfast and our wallets were in desperate need of something cheap. Enter Tommy's Cafe. I've driven past for years...

We stopped in for breakfast one mid Saturday morning. Promptly seated and before we got a chance to look at our menus the waitress was pouring us coffee. That's what I call quick service. I order a Denver...

Okay, I really hated the decor, and that alone will probably keep us from coming back to Tommy's. Sometimes you go into a place and for whatever reason, it just creeps you out. It was dark and it...

This is the kind of neighborhood place sorely lacking in the Seattle suburbs. Especially the Eastside. Yes even though it is in Renton it is pretty close to Bellevue and Newcastle and an easy drive....

Tommy's is a great dive diner. The food is good and inexpensive. Why would you go to a chain like Denny's or Shari's when you can have so much more and support a great local restaurant. The...

It's always nice to have a no-nonsense diner in the hood. The servers are charming, and they make their regulars feel like Tommy's is a second home. I come here for the breakfasts, and they have...

Seat yourself and be prepared for great food at modest prices. The baked potatoe with the works is always perfect with any of the wonderful dinner selections.

Tommy's is a rare kind of restaurant in the Seattle area. Seattle area restaurants tend to either be ethnic holes in the walls or precious, expensive, small portioned places. Tommy's is neither. It's...

I frequent Tommy's on a regular basis, because it reminds me as close to home cooking as one can. The service is friendly and quaint. I highly recommend Tommy's for a place to stop and enjoy a great meal at a...

I grew up going to this place. The value is great and the service super! I especially like the turkey sandwich. Very good quality diner food. I will go there whenever I'm in the area. Enjoy!

My husband and I absolutely LOVE Tommy's Cafe!!! We were directed there by a business associate after complaining about our usual breakfast place nearby. We are VERY happy with their food, service, and their...
