Big Tom’s Diner

This is a really cool blast from the past gem in downtown Aitkin, Mn. It's like you stepped back to the 50's! And that's a good thing. Elvis and Del Shannon playing on a jukebox in the corner really set the mood. Their burgers are absolutely amazing and made the way you like. Their split pea and ham soup is to die for! They also have frosty shakes and malts made perfectly to top it all off! When you're in the north country, you have to try Big Tom's!

Pancakes the size of a plate! Food was excellent! The service was wonderful! And the coffee was silky smooth on the palate!
So good! We will definitely make this our go to place when we come back to Aitkin!

Came in for breakfast and was greeted right away with a friendly smile(thank you Addie) our server was really friendly and made sure my coffee was always filled!

I had the chicken fried steak with breakfast potatoes and eggs. I also had their waffle; move over roadside big tom isnt playing with this one! It may not be as big as our favorite local diner dive but I'm sure we can all agree through some type of experience size does not matter and that's certainly the case here! The waffle was hot and crispy and sweet! I had to order one more for my partner, who had the biscuits and gravy, which he also stated was the best he had since we've moved into town.

The atmosphere is what you expect from a 50s diner, great decor, roomy booths for bigger men like myself, I even played some songs on the jukebox!

Overall we really enjoyed our breakfast! And we will definitely be back!

This place is a whole vibe! ❤❤❤❤❤ the food is awesome

Had a awesome time here love it. We made a cruise up to eat here.

Great new diner in Aitkin! Moved into the former Birchwood Cafe. We had a wonderful breakfast 😋 Best beautiful basted eggs ever had. Dinner plate size pancake, delicious smokey bacon. My husband had the cinnamon roll french toast! Delicious! Beautifully topped with whipped cream. Also had a side scrumptious of sausage links. So glad we have a cabin weekend breakfast spot again.

We're so happy to have this new restaurant in our little town. Great job fixing up the old Birchwood. Nice diner feel and music. Great food, good price!

As a restaurant owner this place is great! Would highly recommend.

We went here for my birthday lunch! It was very good I had a veggie omelet add sausage and coffee!! Very good hands down!

Breakfast all day! Food was great, service was great and the atmosphere is fabulous!
