Bites Nearby: Tom's Diner

Tom's Diner has been serving up classic diner cuisine along side its busy Centreville Road location in the heart of Manassas for over the last 20 years.

The Manassas Diner was not named after the early 1980s Suzanne Vega pop song, "Tom's Diner" but rather the owner, Tom Dasatre'. Originally known as "Colonial" back in the day, once Tom bought the place the name was changed.

Tom's used to be a 24-hour operation but when new and current owner Bill Saleh took the reigns about a decade ago he decided to make some changes.

The late-night crowd proved to be a tad rowdy and unruly at times so Bill concentrated his efforts towards preparing tasty breakfast and lunch dishes.

The motto over at Tom's is "Breakfast Served Anytime." Once inside, you can tell why with the immediate aroma of bacon.

Regina, a waitress, recommended the unbeatable breakfast special:$4.99, 2 Eggs, 2 Bacon, 2 Sausage, 2 Pancakes or French Toast.

You can enjoy all the diner classics here as well: Steak & Eggs, Country Fried Steak, full line of omelets, Sausage Gravy, Creamed Chipped Beef, even get a side of scrapple.

If your pockets are wearing a little thin you could probably scrounge up enough change for their other special, just $4.95 for Biscuits & Gravy or Creamed Chipped Beef over white toast, add 2 eggs for just $1.00!

Besides breakfast, Tom's offers plenty of choices to satisfy your hunger. Homemade meatloaf & mashed potatoes, liver & onions, and on occasion, Bill roasts a whole turkey and serves up delicious hot-opened faced turkey sandwiches. 

Tom's opens at 7 a.m. everyday, closes at 4 p.m. Sun-Wed, 8 p.m. Thur-Sat.
