Today, mmm-yoso!!! has another post about food for you to read. It's written by Cathy, since Kirk is still on vacation.
I wrote about Tom's #23 last November and some things here are pretty much the same, but some changes have occurred.
Walk up, order, pay…and you are asked where you will be sitting- the table numbers are tall and visible from the cash register; you aren't handed one to put on your table. Why?
Because your food will be delivered to your table by Tomcat!
The Mister ordered a chicken fried steak breakfast ($10.99), with home fries and over easy eggs. Beautiful, orange-yolked eggs. Perfectly crispy fried steak, wonderful sausage gravy, crispy. skin-on potato chunks. 
Instead of toasted bread, He chose French toast ($1.99) Eggy, crisp with a fluffy interior. Really nice.
I decided on a breakfast sandwich with ham on rye toast ($5.49). I nice, thick slice of ham with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise along with the folded egg omelet.
Good food and a fun time.

Tomcat talks to you, politely (even says "goodbye") and knows when all of your order has been removed from the shelves.
