Tom's Cabin

From the outside, Tom’s Cabin looks like it might be a gamble—but it absolutely pays off. The food was delicious, the portions were hearty, and the prices were very affordable for how much you get. Service was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Proof that some of the best meals come from the most unassuming places. I’d definitely come back!

Recently moved to Caldwell from the south. In conversations about fried fish, i came across a few people that said “Toms Cabin has good fish & chips”. On a Saturday i rode to Emmett to see what it was about at lunch. When i pulled up i thought “hole in the walls are normally delicious, please let this be it.” I sat at the counter and the waitress was very nice. I ordered the fish & chips and chatted with another patron at the bar”. The waitress brought my food with an apology for the wait, saying “the food normally comes out quicker”. It came with 3 pieces of a fried cod maybe. I ate 1 piece and left the rest at the restaurant. Very different then the south. Price was reasonable. All Saturday afternoon/evening i wasn’t feeling well and it got worse as THE DAYS went by. After lunch i went s

I was visiting my parents and they wanted to take me here because they had enjoyed it before. We sat down a little before 5pm and ordered our food fairly quickly. We didn't receive our food until almost 6pm. Apparently the French toast for my 2 year old was forgotten and had just been put on the grill when they finally started bringing out our food. The other kids really enjoyed their pancakes. My steak was ordered medium rare but was most definitely well-done and dry. The fried shrimp were overcooked and too crunchy to eat, except the shrimp inside, and all the food was lukewarm. My mom ordered the French dip without cheese or onions but came to the table with onions. My dad ordered the Wimpy burger which he couldn't even eat because it was so overcooked. They both insist that this plac

This Restaurant is located a couple of miles West of Emmett. All the people we met that worked there are friendly and cheerful. It's not fancy but feels "homey". The waitress (said to call her "Slim") that usually serves us, always greets us warmly and knows our ordering habits/items. We have been here quite a few times because of the fore mentioned items and is the only place we have found in the area that serves Breakfast all day. ( Our schedule is ever changing and erratic so hard to meet the normal Breakfast hours). We have eaten Breakfast and Lunch but yet to have dinner here. The food is very good and the portions are big so we never leave hungry. All in all, well worth the drive.

I have been going to Tom's Cabin since I was a young girl. The older I get, the visits are few and far between. But, it is still a favorite. The atmosphere is good and the decor is country. It is very relaxed and "homey". The food is fantastic, homemade goodness! My Mom uses Tom's Cabin for catering events because the food is so good! The owner, Ms. Lillie is one of the best! They also have GREAT coffee! The service - it was an "off" day and the service isn't normally- less than desirable. They were busy, however, in the service industry you have to adjust and handle the load. Rule #1- You don't share your frustrations regarding customers, with other customers. Rule #2- You don't make customers feel like it's a "chore" to help them. Without customers, you don't get a paycheck. Rule #3-
