A few things have changed, including the name.  Tommie’s Castaic Cafe has been a Castaic staple since 1982.  Then, it was owned and operated by the McGonigal family, and it quickly became a place customers could rely on for good home cooking at a reasonable price. 

As you can see in the diagram, which is based on an online survey from restaurateurs, the most important factor is the quality of the food.
Right after that comes cleanliness.
