Peepaw remembered we had eaten there several years ago, so we decided to go back…and we’re really glad we did!
The restaurant has new owners, Jesse and Camile, They followed their kids to Sycamore from New Jersey when the kids moved to attend college. And let’s just say the owners made us feel like we had been invited to their home for breakfast!
Camile…A Whirlwind of Energy–and SMILES! |
Chef Jesse…AWESOME! |
The menu was filled with wonderful choices, and Camile made sure we were happy with everything we ordered.
The kid’s menu brought back fond memories, since the breakfast choices included a Mickey Mouse pancake. That reminded me of breakfast in a restaurant somewhere down South almost four decades ago. The chef in that Mom and Pop restaurant looked out from the kitchen and saw our son Aaron (he was three at the time), so the chef decided to surprise him with a cute Mickey Mouse pancake for breakfast. Unfortunately, we were on a road trip to Disney World at the time to SEE Mickey…so Aaron refused to eat Mickey Mouse! I still have to smile when I remember that meal. Travel memories last forever…
So…Every kid’s meal at Tommy O’s comes with a small drink…and a scoop of ice cream…EVEN BREAKFAST! Every kid’s DREAM COME TRUE!
I couldn’t help but notice how CLEAN the restaurant was. It was spotless. Camile informed me she’s a “clean freak”…and it shows. Everywhere.
I ordered Eggs Benedict…and it was truly the BEST Eggs Benedict I’ve had in…forever!
Now…If only I could magically move Tommy O’s (And Camile and Jesse) to Iowa City…
