This restaurant was the bomb.com. ^_~ wink! It was my first time eating here and I don't regret it. It's gonna be my new favorite spot to come get fish, and grits. The eggs were done beautifully. The fish was fried to perfection juicy, and the batter was seasoned nicely with flavor, and was not too salty. The pancakes were good, but I think I like the seafood, and the breakfast items better. I'll definitely be back to eat here again. :D

Been eating thumbs up for 20 years but I Alwanys dine in. The DoorDash was decent and I'd do it again. I didn't like how they threw the guac and pico on top corner of the burrito. Those should be in containers on the side so your food doesn't get soggy. Other than that everything was good. Mixed Fruit was mediocre as it has no mango - it was basic blueberries strawberries and a partially ripe banana. The fruit was not sweet at all. Portion size and flavor for the Southwestern Eggs was perfect.

Fried Fish & Grits with tomatoes instead of toast. Every bite was delicious. From the fresh tomatoes to the perfectly seasoned grits! Most definitely will be ordering again and next time get my fish fried hard!

I’ve ordered from Thumbs Up Diner before, which is exactly why this order was so disappointing. The portions were nowhere close to what I’ve received in the past. There was barely any scrambled egg, one small chicken strip and another piece that was basically nugget-sized, hardly any gravy, and a noticeably small portion of grits.
The food itself wasn’t the issue. The portioning was. This order felt careless and extremely inconsistent with what this restaurant has served before. Customers shouldn’t have to wonder whether they’re going to get a full meal or a half-sized version of it depending on the day.
