Reviews for Tommy's Family Restaurant & Coffee Shop in San Clemente, CA

Convenient to I-5. Good sandwiches. Friendly service. Vintage diner motif. The interior could use a spot of paint here and there

Good "diner" food. Fun 1950's decor. Staff are pleasant and accommodating.

Slow service, mediocre food, interesting atmosphere. Tommy's bills itself as a "50s style dinner," with 50s music playing,... Cadillac back seats for booth seating, and pictures of 30s, 40s, and 50s stars throughout the dinner. The atmosphere screamskitsch and there's real opportunity for it to be exploited. The food and service, however, are lackluster. The larger friedcheese curds were melty, tasty, goodness; while the smaller ones were hard. The marinara was bland and borderline tasteless.Blue cheese on the side salad was a little creamy but didn't seem to have actual blue cheese in it, the dish I'd wanted (bleucordon chicken, as opposed to cordon bleu chicken) they were "out of." According to the website they apparently don't have it atall. I ordered pork chops instead. They were lightly salted and bland, with steamed broccoli and carrots which along with themashed potatoes (with beef gravy) were the high point of the meal. Service was incredibly slow, this may have been due to understaffing, I'm not sure, but they also seemed to have a shortage of menus. Read more

Took forever for our food. Cups with lipstick stains. Sand which was soggy and the fried chicken was burnt. Would not recommend

Good eats at reasonable prices. Unique decor. Always like finding a place that the locals frequent. Definitely worth a stop.
