Big Tom’s Diner

We didn't eat, we went to the Speakeasy. The bartender was great, just had a long wait for drinks that night. There was a large group and perhaps they didn't give a heads up that they were coming to allow for another bartender. He really worked his butt off that night. It was just us when that large group left! We love the Speakeasy - very delightful.

A true classic diner! The service was great, food was out quick, hot and fresh and the milkshake was amazing. Great quality and portions for the price. I highly suggest stopping in even though it doesn’t have a lot of traffic on a Sunday afternoon. The guy next to me had a Bloody Mary that looked fantastic and had all kinds of finger foods on top of it.

The portions are large and the food is superb. The staff was friendly and even brewed a fresh pot of decaf for me. A+++

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!

Server was not very friendly. Asked what we wanted as soon as she put menus down. We asked for a few minutes to look at the menu. She never came back. There was only one other person there.
