This Week's Counter: Tommy's!

Can't believe we never thought of going to Tommy's, on Coventry in Cleveland Heights, before!  We've been there many times for lunch and dinner, but never breakfast.  We were there with some friends for dinner a few weeks ago an realized they have a small counter.  So Friday morning we went (a day off for Ted for his birthday and no school due to a teacher's day for Cam).

Lunch and dinner at Tommy's is usually crazy -- big crowds and long waits.  But getting there mid-morning on a weekday was perfect -- the place was quiet and we had the counter to ourselves.  Plenty of space and service was highly attentive.

Ted had his usual -- called the "breakfast special", like it is in most every diner -- eggs, toast and hash browns.  The portions were huge and the potatos (the main indicator of a quality breakfast) were pretty good.  Coffee was just OK -- nothing special.  Cam had a waffle and bacon -- he proclaimed the waffle to be the best he ever had!  He also finished the meal with a root beer milkshake to go.

Highly recommend Tommy's to anyone looking for a good and filling breakfast on the East side -- and I think we've never had anything but super-friendly and excellent service there.  You can also enjoy the eclectic mix of shops along Coventry Rd when you're done.  

   

Cam says: "Best waffle ever! Bacon was not up to par -- which means it can't get 5 pans. Comfortable counter and good service!"

                                          

Ted says: "Good stuff -- not cheap, but very large portions and decent quality.  Coffee could be better -- maybe the only drawback.  Go here! "
