Tommy's Kitchen was more than just good food, it was an inspirational dine-in experience. This visit was very unexpected and it felt like I was dining at a chefs table event for Sunday brunch. Yes, the food is delicious but there's more to this story. The fried okra was amazing, the cole slaw was wonderfully crunchy, tangy, and slightly smokey sweet, the green beans had a nice chili sweetness, and the banana pudding was homemade and delicious. But what captured my attention was the sense of an entrepreneurial spirit that seems to be driven by true passion, service, and love, not only for the food, but for Tommy's Kitchen, the business. To my surprise, Chef Tommy Washington personally prepared my dishes, served them to my table with a great smile and charisma, and gladly introduced himself and his company. I can't continue without acknowledging Chef Tommy's wife and business partner, Mrs. Washington, thank you for being his loving helpmate, you were a delight to meet. She is the reason this establishment is in Eatonville, FL. (I love a good First Began (PJ Morton) story). I have so much respect for beautiful power couples who can harmonize to build a family legacy from a place where passion meets purpose and their impact ripples throughout time for generations. Mr. & Mrs. Washington, keep up the Great Work, we need splendid examples such as yourselves in the world, just know your Grandmother is very proud! And congratulations Chef Tommy and team for the many accomplishments and successful branding ventures (culinary school, tv shows and Roku App, Walmart retail, traveling celebrity chef, and much more). Thank you for turning my simple grab-n-go into a special occasion. Continue being fruitful and...

My visit to Tommy's Kitchen in Eatonville, FL was an absolute delight! Flying in from Minnesota for the Zora Festival, we stopped by this gem ( TK) restaurant and were treated to an unforgettable culinary experience.
The spare ribs were a masterpiece of flavor and tenderness. Each bite was a savory symphony that left us craving for more. The smoked potato salad was a unique twist that perfectly complemented the richness of the ribs. It's not something you find everywhere, and it added an extra layer of delight to our meal.
Now, let's talk about the fried okra - hands down the BEST I've ever tasted! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor.
I couldn't get enough of it. And the coleslaw? Fresh, crunchy, and expertly seasoned, it was the ideal side dish. However, the highlight of the evening was the SMOKEDbanana pudding. Words can hardly do justice to its amazing flavor. Creamy, smoky, and utterly divine - it transported me to dessert heaven. I can confidently say it's the most AMAZING banana pudding I've ever had. Sorry Grandma
We enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere that Tommy and his team personally shared with us. The conversation helped make our dining experience even more memorable. If you're in Eatonville, FL, don't miss the chance to indulge in the culinary delights at Tommy's Kitchen. It's a hidden treasure that deserves every bit of praise it receives. We left with happy hearts and full stomachs, eager to return on our next visit to Florida.

Meeting Tommy and his wife added a personal touch to the experience. Learning about the awards Tommy has won was inspiring, and it set the stage for a delightful meal.
The oxtails and yellow rice were a standout, with the gravy on the oxtails reaching phenomenal heights of flavor. The green beans transported me back to my Grandmother's kitchen—the authenticity and care in preparation were evident in every bite. It truly felt like a comforting taste of home.
The chocolate cake was the perfect sweet ending, leaving me with a satisfied and content palate. The entire meal at Tommy's Kitchen was a mouthwatering experience, reminiscent of the best homemade dishes.
The warmth, authenticity, and attention to detail in every dish make Tommy's Kitchen a must-visit. It's more than a restaurant; it's a culinary haven where passion and tradition come together. I can't wait to return on my next visit to Florida. Highly...
