Thanks for another update about more hidden culinary treasures.
Tommy's is the only place in town to get a bologna omelet -- and a hearty breakfast is under $5
I just wish they were open more.
Love Ardens and Pinegrove has an awesome steak in the sack!
Island Tropics is the bomb and they have veggie chunks!!!!

Pinegrove's steak in a sack is probably the best I've ever had. They do a great breakfast also.

They are the bomb. Some of the best food in town.
@fsujax, have you visited Arden's for their seafood buffet?
The Sultan sandwich shop on Philips Highway, across from the old Philips Mall, has the best steak-in-a-sack I ever ate, although I have not tried Pinegrove, so clearly now I have to go check it out.
i have Cat. It is not bad. Fried catfish, cheese-grits, collard greens probably the best for that day, which is on Friday.
How is Arden's buffet compared to Checker's BBQ's?
Really enjoyed this article guys! Thanks for not only sharing the food pics but addresses to the businesses as well. :)

Are they only open during the work week and closed on the weekends?
Ardens has a much bigger selection, but no Art! the food is comparable. Checkers may be slightly better.

Yes. And very limited hours during the work week, too. Closed by 10 (11?) if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks Ben. Want to sneak over someday and try one of the breakfasts I hear so much about. :)
Not that it needs to be said again.... but seriously, the Veggie Chunks at Island Paradise are perfect!!!
@thecat Arash, great articles. Good to see you wriring a little.

Ashley!!! You were in my thoughts this week. Good to "see" you.
Thanks for the compliment but thecat and arash are not the same person. totally different.
How are these veggie chunks prepared? What makes them so tasty? Side note....has anyone tried Celebs on AP Randolph? I'm a bit intrigued that a business would choose that location to try something new. Looks a bit like Beirut right there.
8) I have been looking for a great hole in the wall for breakfast...From the posts here, Tommy's Diner has been added to my list! This is will be my 1st stop on Monday morning!

Celebs got a positive review on Jaxfoodcritic.com, though the prices seem surprisingly high.
P.S. Excellent choice of avatar.
It seems that Tommy's is an icon I have missed over the years.
This a great series of articles on the hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Thanks so much for the info.
Tommy's is great. Awesome food.

Agreed. That said, I go as much for Tommy's personality as I do for the breakfast in a bowl.
