Tom's Famous Family 22 - San Marcos

It's okay, nothing special, no taste in food. I'm just honest. My plate was chipped, the menu was outdated things were no longer there. If your kind of person, the McDonald 's is yummy you'll love this place. If you want a good tasting burger, you have to board instead. It's not.

When I lived in San Marcos 4 years ago, I found this place by chance. Four years later, I ordered my favorite: Pastrami Sandwich. This is the best everywhere! Price is $12.00 but filled with very delicious pastrami! Again the best pastrami sandwich I ever had!!!

These guys were short, so service was provided by a guy who tries to do 3 jobs at once not his fault. The food was good and the variety of menus is good. Place was clean. You should try to like it.

Had to change my review after my second visit, I asked about rice and beans as my side for my dinner, but I got rice and vegetables, first time ever going to Tom's and despite the wait in not disappointed the least. The menu is massive burger breakfast steak dinner burritos, massive. After I went through the options, I finally landed on a lamb hack dinner I choose rice and beans as my side it came with a salad and some butter bread. Every bite was delicious. And the whole meal was very full. Definitely back to try something else than next.

This is one of those true old tyme diners not a fancy stylized diner like Ruby's. The food is basic but well portioned and high quality. Coffee is excellent. Prices are reasonable for families or those on a budget. Service is excellent. It can be busy at mealtimes. The steak was tender. However the biscuits and gravy were oddly flavorless. Other items were excellent.
