On an overnight stay from Pittsburgh, we found Tom & Joe's based on other faithful Google reviews, and I am glad we did. We arrived at around 9:30 am Sunday, and were greeted and immediately seated. This place is in downtown Altoona, and I realized by several nearby interactions that this place is frequented by mostly regulars, who don't even need a menu. Despite our being first timers, the waitress made us feel very much at home with her friendly and welcoming demeanor. The menu listed very traditional breakfast fare. I ordered something called the "Big One"which was like a kitchen sink of breakfasts...eggs, home fries (with optional green peps and diced onion), ham, bacon, sausage, short stack of pancakes and toast (for an extra buck). The food arrived with lightning speed by our experienced waitress. Coffee topped off without fail. Here's the best part. Without exception, each component in this dish was top notch, expertly prepared, high quality and very very tasty. I've had plenty of mediocre breakfasts, but this was thankfully not one of them -so good. One other thing that made me log this review. A manager/(owner?) fellow was bustling around, very concerned about some Uber eats orders that were lingering on a table... seemingly not picked up in time by the UE driver to be fresh. We finally overhead him calling Uber and politely taking charge. He took the box and headed out the door to deliver himself!

That is customer care and service in action.

If you haven't been, go to this place and support them. I expect you won't regret it.
