When you're craving down-home comfort food but aren't in the mood to cook, your local diner is always there to help. If you're fortunate enough to be in Grand Island when hunger strikes, you'll want to make a beeline for Tommy's Family Restaurant.

Tommy's has been feeding hungry visitors for more than 25 years. The restaurant is no longer open 24 hours a day, but you can still get breakfast no matter what time you visit between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The interior is classic diner all the way: swivel stools at the bar, retro decor...

...And charming red and white vinyl booths will remind you of a simpler time when going out for a milkshake and fries was basically the ultimate date night.

Start off your meal - no matter what time of day it is - with a cup of coffee. It's always hot!

Breakfast is the tops at Tommy's. Order up your favorites like French toast and eggs, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage...

...Or opt for the daily breakfast special, which is just $4.95 until 11 a.m. The specials change frequently, so you can enjoy a new wallet-friendly meal every time you visit.

Lunch and dinner are equally delicious and will fill you up without busting your budget. Enjoy dishes that will remind you of Sunday dinners at Grandma's house, like this open-face meatloaf sandwich that looks so good you're probably tempted to lick your screen right now.

One of Tommy's most popular offerings is the fried chicken, which you may have guessed from the giant chicken statue out front. This classic treat is tender, juicy, and has just the right amount of crispy coating. Some customers travel to Grand Island just for this delectable homestyle meal.

The menu contains a wide variety of dishes, from sirloin steak to chef salad, mozzarella sticks to homemade chili.

Whatever you do, don't leave without having a slice of pie. With a rotating selection of a dozen varieties, Tommy's is sure to have something you fancy.
