Tom Sawyer's - Palm Beach County

Excellent country breakfast joint with huge menus and huge portions. Food was delicious, staff super friendly, and decor like walking into a country roadside barn. Us four New Yorkers loved it all around!

The first time I ate there it was magical. Everything was homemade. From the whip cream on the fluffy pancakes, to the bread for toast. Even the corned beef was the best I ever had. My drink was a tomato juice and they added a celery stick. And the orange juice was fresh squeezed. The line was long and the wait took forever, but it was worth it! Jump to yesterday. There was no line, no waiting, and the place wasn’t even half full. Our food was FAR from magical. The corned beef was from a can and tasted like dog food. I asked for two over easy eggs in top. I got over hard in the side. The hash browns were not fully cooked and came from a frozen bag. My tomato juice tasted like it came from an old can. Even the toast was burnt with no butter. It will be the last time I will eat there. It was a nightmare.

Came in just before close and felt terrible, but everyone was more than nice. The portions are large and the prices are very fair. Service was great. Would definitely go back!

Tom Sawyer only servers breakfast and lunch. We arrived around 9:00 AM on a weekday and there was a choice of tables available. Within 15 minutes of our arrival, the place was packed. The interior is rustic. It is a plaid tablecloth and stained natural wood affair. The breakfast menu is very diverse. The Eggs Benedict were prepared well, the yoke was cooked but runny, the hollandaise sauce was tasty. The fried eggs were perfect as well as the hash brown potatoes. I confess that the hash browns were a little on the cool side. Of course you can get grits. Great orange juice and the service was good considering the crowd.

We went around 11:30, so very busy. Some people finishing their breakfast while others, like us, were there for lunch. The staff did their best to keep up. We saw lunch specials on the board and exch chose one of them. Came out fairly fast and tasted great. The parking lot was packed, because a delivery truck was there.
