One of the last places you can still get real homemade food. Fresh pies, pastries, the best hot beef or hot turkey sandwiches. There is nothing that compares!

First time and last time, I had more butter than potatoe, and the huge bun with a sample of meat. My bun was soft meat was old a waste of money. I will never go back

Picked up bakery buns along with a gal.of potato salad for a surprise party in MN. I got lots of compliments that the food was good. The 6 dozen buns and gal of potato salad was about $60.

The hamburger patty was smaller than the bun. I asked for everything it came with only pickles amd onions and no sauce.

Tom thumb is great don’t get me wrong it’s the people that work there up at dairy queen i was waiting for atleast 10 minutes while one worker was doing drive thru another one was sitting on her phone! Up the restaurant the people are good they don’t ignore you but the manager on duty is another thing they are so mean.i get it it’s your job but they yell at these people for no reason and i feel so bad for them.i saw one of the managers yell at this young lady and after she went to the bathroom with her eyes watering, Be nice to your workers!

Lol well ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The young dude brings the order on a tray but he doesn't set the tray down in front of me instead he hands the cheese burger too me⁹ shakes a few fries on the tray then hands me the rest of my fries. On the way back to the kitchen he eats the fries. I thought that was odd until he brings my friends order then does the same thing. It was sunday October 1st between 2 and 3 pm just so when management reads this they can narrow it down to the moron bringing the food out. Maybe he should eat before his shift instead of kidnapping food from people's orders.

A great place for farm folk to meet up for traditional gravy dishes, sandwiches, fried stuff by the pound, donuts and softserve.

Not as good as it use to be.
Chicken not hot. Potato salad was awful. The best part was the dressing and gravy. Hamburger was nothing.

I've tried it one evening and loved it. Have been back several times afterwords. It can get pricy in the terms of fast food

This place is a joke. I order double bacon cheese burger an onion rings. Bacon was thicker than the burger patties. Onion rings where grease an cold.
My wife got chicken an noodles over mash potatoes, an green beans. Everything was cold. So they put it in the microwave an warmed it up with the butter packets still on the plate.
Lady at counter was vaping at the window where your food comes out. An other guy working with here looked stone out of his mind.
No way I would come here again.save ur money or just throw it in the toilet an flush.ur choice

Extremely small coffee cups, super THIN hamburger patties, to the point where I felt I was eating a lettuce sandwich with hamburger flavoring.
Ordering was a challenge because the cashier was busy visiting with her friends instead of waiting on customers. And to top it off, her friends cut in front!
Won't be taking my business there anymore.

Come here every year when I come home for Mom's birthday! She loves the fish sandwich and I love anything on the menu! You guys have carried this fabulous restraint on since I was a little kid!

Dated decor inside but I found that part of the unique ambiance. Many choices on the menu but we stuck with the chicken sandwich, which was fine. Fun to listen to the kitchen staff yell back and forth- reminds me of the snl skit. Definitely will go back.
