“ They have everything you could want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-type options (I don't know how late they serve). Excellent food and service. I would like more small two-top, four-top tables in the area so they could serve more people and have them available to pull together for larger groups. I do miss The Pink Pig Diner. ”
“ It's a bar. .but I loveeee the BBQ chicken pizza. Pineapples on the side. It reheats well, great after taste and fills my up w/ some leftovers. ”
“ So happy we decided to eat at this establishment. Tuesday night was 2 tenderloin sliders. 2.50 capt n coke. Anyother cocktail was on pull tabs. I got lucky my first round 1.00 drink. Fun atmosphere. Husband ordered the sausage something or other sandwich w Broccoli. He absolutely loved it. ”
“ Very interesting atmosphere in this downtown Ottumwa bar. Tom Tom is referencing its native theme, with replica artifacts on display. There is a large glowing art piece that has historical significance as a centerpiece. Ask the bartender for details. A fun place to have a drink! ”
“ Really great and fun atmosphere. A nice place to relax. First time in the area and hotel guest; I came here for a drink after a long drive. Shelby behind the bar was very welcoming, professional, prompt, and friendly. She made me feel like I was at home. She gave me several locations of interest to see while I was in town and went above and beyond. The drinks are great! I recommend the Maker's Whisky Sour and the Bloody Mary. They have a wide selection on their menu. I had what I would call a roast beef Manhattan and it was very good although it's called something else on their menu. Really good beer selection as well. Also, every booth had USB charging stations and also all around the bar. First time I've seen this, but it's brilliant! ”

“ Almost each time getting something from Tom Tom Tap has been delivery but they always excel. Being a late night worker most choices are usually closed but Tom Tom Tap has quickly become my favorite place to order from while dealing with work. My favorites being the tenderloin sandwiches. ”
