"Great place for all day breakfast. Only complaint is the sausage, a bit dry, otherwise everything is great, our server was awesome. Definitely will go back."

"Have been here a couple of times over the past few years but was there for the first time for dinner on November 20th, 2021! Ordered vegetables fajitas and sweet potato fries and they were pretty good but a little cold on arrival. I’ve also had their brunch a few times which is also pretty decent and I prefer it over their lunch/dinner! The service was also pretty good and the atmosphere is great. It’s a really good spot to go to with friends!"

"Tommy’s Diner – A Deliciously Nostalgic Experience
Tommy’s Diner in Kingston offers a warm and welcoming throwback to classic diners, with its bright and spacious interior that perfectly captures an old-fashioned vibe. We visited for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find no wait, making for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.
The friendly staff added to the inviting atmosphere, and the menu did not disappoint. We indulged in the Smoke N’Barrel Brisket Dip sandwich, three types of poutine—The Terminator, Doc Johnson’s Buffalo Chicken, and the Classic—along with wings and salad. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, though the salad was on the simpler side.
With reasonable prices and generous portions, Tommy’s Diner strikes the perfect balance between quality, comfort, and affordability. It’s a spot we’d gladly visit again for another taste of its hearty fare and nostalgic charm."
