Tom's Depot Cafe — Restaurant in Los Altos

I am quite surprised this place is getting such great reviews. I just ate here for brunch and the food was far less than adequate. We ordered the special of the day which was "chicken fajitas & salsa" including a side of fries. When I got the fajitas the portion of cubed chicken with soggy warm flavorless tomatoes took up less than half the plate and that was served with a side of fruit put on the same plate with my fajita. When I asked for my salsa they said it was in the chicken. Our fries came cold and stale. They did not look appetizing in the slightest. My other friend ordered hashbrowns and they looked frozen to cook. The menu is way to long and service is ok. Would not recommend this place at all. Steep prices...

What a truly nice old school place. I had the corned beef hash breakfast. I ordered it without mushrooms and the waitress brought it out with mushrooms, immediately noticed and made a new one for me. Such wonderful service. The apple pancakes were delicious, not too sweet and perfect with the cinnamon sugar on top. My friend had the linguica sausage and it was soooo good. Not too spicy, full of flavor and nicely crisped. The hash browns could have been a little crunchier, but I would give them another try. It looks like they usually are perfectly cooked based on other reviews. Topped it off with some ice cream. Nothing special, just old school chocolate and strawberry. Really delicious. Highly recommend if diner food...

Mostly good food, really good prices, exceptional service. The Pancakes taste 100xs better than the Original Pancake House down the street.

The fish & chips however are equal to frozen stouffers microwave fish & chips. Cornbeef hash is very low grade, very bland. New York Steak is pathetic. They should remove it from the menu if that low grade sirloin is considered NY steak. You can get better quality at Walmart.

The cook can only cook what's provided by management.

Low quality food here. And always hot inside.

But their convenient.

They'd make a fortune if they raised the quality...
