“Excellent lunch. I’ve been here several times.I love the fresh bread. Rueben and Bahn Mi are delicious.Because of the delicious food it has been crowded on each visit. Tables are too close together. And the tables for two are quite small for average adults. But it doesn’t stop us from eating there.“

“This was our first visit, we came in for breakfast right at opening on Monday. Erin greeted us and was very polite and welcoming.The restaurant gives off a comfortable homey feel. The music choice was good, the volume loud but not obnoxious to where we couldn't talk across the table. We admired the artwork and fixtures and even enjoyed the random coffee mugs they seem to use.The menu although small had lots of options, we were able to chose from the entire menu even though it was only 8am. We went with the burrito bowl and the Skillet, the special of the day. Both came out looking very appealing. The dishes tasted fresh and flavorful. The toast with their homemade jam and butter were my favorite part. Everything was so delicious. The bread pudding was suggested to us at the end of our meal so we split a slice, very good.Service was good. She checked on us enough but also let us enjoy our meal and conversation. The cost wasn't terrible, about what to expect these days while dining out. We will return!“

“Very good mix of food styles and dietary options, good service and a nice place. I had a bowl (the Cajun bowl with rice) and my guest had the tacos. Both were well portioned and taste great. It is on the pricier side, but it does not seem overpriced for what you’re getting. Looking forward to trying other dishes there.“

The staff are fun and take good care of you. They have a good selection of beers and drinks. The atmosphere is interesting, rustic. If you order the burger, get it with a toasty bun. I feel this is one of the best burgers in the state!!“

“This is one of my all time favorites since I've been in the area. I literally come here every day when I have time before work. The coffee is always strong & fresh plus I appreciate how the servers are always walking around ready to refill your cup before you have a chance to ask. This is a family owned restaurant I think with a lot of regulars I've became one of them. It's not very loud but the people here do come to socialize. I have brought multiple people to this restaurant to eat with but mostly I come alone and still feel welcomed plus comfortable. No matter what I order to eat it always comes out hot & ready. There has not been a time where the food wasn't up to par and I've been here over 10 times. Definitely worth the trip.“

“Have been eating Tom's since I was a kid, and I'm 60 now. This location has THE best. Food is hot EVERY time, unlike the Little Chute location, which it is never hot at all and always messed up as well. I have 2 locations closer to me, each within 5-7 min, but I will drive the 20 min to the Westhill Blvd location because I know my meal will be hot, as it should be. Fries & cheese curds are done just right, never overdone. Right amount of toppings on burgers, unlike other locations that slop on so much, it's running out everywhere.“

“Food is usually good but custard is not worth it. Very skimpy when it comes to toppings and mix ins. I got the toffee expressi flavor of the day in a concrete mixer and had maybe 6 pcs of the cake, no Carmel swirl and 3 pcs of heath. It was mainly an expresso milkshake. I was so dissatisfied. It’s happened a lot lately. Will go else where for ice cream next time“

We had cheese curds appetizers with home made ranch which was also amazing! Our server recommended after-all the owner has been snacking on em for decades (something we saw with our own eyes here too ) Our steaks were cooked perfectly too! We will definitely be back!

“First Culver's I have been in that I couldn't rate five stars. Newer Culver's, needs a little work. The food was great. We ordered two hot fudged sundaes, and it seems like it took forever. We did not time it. The wife finally went up to the counter to see if our oder got lost. Our ice cream came, no hot fudge. They took them back and corrected it. Nothing was said. A simple sorry can go a long way. I have been in a Culver's where I was over heard that my order was wrong. And in couple of minutes I had a manager at the table apologizing. Need to work on talking to customers. Short and sweet, but they need to talk and smile.“

I used to cook bar food so that says something. I worked in the service industry for many years. The wings were perfect and the service was outstanding. Nikki is an awesome bartender and she made my night when I thought I was out of luck, but she came though with great food and great service. Thanks Nikki. Please give this lady a raise.“
