Tom's Kitchen Buffet in Clinton, Maryland

A Good New Restaurant Option with an Affordable Price

I was starved one afternoon, coming from my son's school. We just came back from a field trip. I volunteered as a parent and took my son home a little early. As we left we were both very hungry. I had reached about 1:30 PM. In stead of staying for lunch at school we left the campus. In
 leaving the school, I took a detour off of Route 5. I thought about getting a quick bite before going home and happened to find Tom's Kitchen Buffet.

The Buffet was fairly new at the time in 2006. I'd never seen it before and wanted to find out more about it. They still had there permit to occupy the premises in the window. I gave the restaurant a shot at least satisfy my hunger.

Tom's Kitchen Price Options

We came at a great time to try out Tom's Kitchen. At two o'clock prices were still lower than normal. Tom's Kitchen is open 10:30 AM until 3:30 PM. Tom's Reopens at 4:00 PM with a dinner menu. The lunch Buffet is served Monday through Friday until 3:30 PM. Children (ages 4 ~ 11 years old) are charged $3.95 per person while adults pay $7.25 per person. Children 3 years old and younger eat free. When I received the bill for less than $12.00 for both of us, I was stunned. I certainly was prepared to come back.

I came back to Tom's Kitchen that weekend after my son's choir rehearsal. I at that time came to realize they Dinner was severed Monday through Sunday from 4 PM until 10 PM. The price for dinner was slightly higher. Tom's charged $6.95 for children and $11.75 for adults. I didn't see much of a difference in the menu. I do believe that added crab legs as an option on some dinner nights.

I came back to Tom's a third time at lunch and noticed a Carry out Buffet option. I notice a few women that choose to do the carry out option instead of eating in the large facility. The Lunch Carry out prices is $4.15 per pound. The dinner carry out rate was

$5.25 per pound. Tom's seafood carry out was $6.99 per pound. To me, it was much more economical to just eat in the restaurant. Yet and still locals did carry out food.
