It's just the best diner experience ever. I've only had breakfast there but who can resist four kinds of butter with those amazing waffles, pancakes and French toast? The line is crazy sometimes but they give you free coffee, juice, tea, toast, fries you name it. Great friendly staff. Never ever had a bad or so so experience here. You definitely won't regret it. Maybe one day I'll sceifice a breakfast option and venture out into the lunch menu lol.

Granted I've only eaten breakfast there it's just the best breakfast I've ever had. French toast and pancakes come with 4 kinds of butter. Cinnamon, strawberry, lemon and regular. Now don't be put off by the line outside. They serve you free coffee, cinnamon butter toast aaand fruit while you wait. Amazing place and the service is impeccable. The decor is actually authentic, definitely old school. I don't think much of it has changed since it opened in 1936. Check it out if your in the area.

This was by far the best diner ever. I was in Brooklyn last summer and my roommate suggested this place after a late night. We all looked like hell, but upon arriving there was no judgment. Everyone at Tom's were inviting and warm. While you're waiting the waiters bring out rounds of free coffee, orange slices, and cookies. The sausage and the crab cakes are to die for :) Only bit of advice, bring cash! No cards accepted. I'm going back this summer and Tom's will be my first stop!

Get the always on special huevos rancheros.

I have been going to Tom's since birth. Nothing can beat its ham and cheese omelet, home fries, rye toast and the must try cherry lime ricky. The tacky, classic diner decorations only add to the experience with the round the year dancing santa to the rainbow lollipop at the end. As a kid the former owner, used to give me 50 cent pieces, a great place with great staff and assured great memories.

Ever since I moved to the neighborhood 4 years ago, I've been a big fan of Tom's. It's a heart-warming, down-to-earth restaurant that still carries the 'back-in-the-day' look and feel. Waiting time could be long if you get there after 11, but waiting is part of the fun going to Tom's! Getting cookies, coffee, juice etc... you just have to experience it. I love their pancakes (pumpkin is my fav) and waffles. My husband loves their crab cake. Service is quick and nice. (FYI Since I live nearby I usually go around 9 on weekends, and you usually get seated right away)

Great food but more importnatly the atmosphere is the best. You're part of the family. Worth the wait. I recommend the harvest pancakes with a side of pork sausage.
