Tom and Joes Restaurant - An Altoona Diner InstitutionTom & Joe's has been serving Altoona, Pennsylvania for over 70 years and has become a local institution providing a fun and energetic diner atmosphere. Founded by Tom Batrus, above, and brother Joe in December 1933. Joe sold out in the late 1940s and Tom continued to run the business under the name Tom & Joes.

In 2002, the upper section was remodeled by updating the seating, counter, and flooring. Some of the original decor was still maintained throughout the remodel including the knotty pine walls, counter tops, and table tops.

Tom and Joes is now in its third generation with Tom's grandson George Jr. Tom's son George Sr sold the business to George Jr. in 2008. George Sr passed away May 29th, 2008, but his memory lives on strong with the many pictures that highlight his service to the restaurant hanging up throughout the restaurant. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

A special thanks goes out to Matt Batrus, the 4th generation of the Batrus family to work at the diner. Matt lives in Colorado and helps out during his summer break. Thanks for all the great help Matt...who knows maybe we'll branch out to a Colorado location. Good luck in school in the upcoming year and we look forward to having you back next summer.
