Reviews for Tom’s Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY
Good value and well-separated, covered outdoor seating available. Be prepared to wait ~10 minutes on arrival to get a table.... Very crowded indoors The spinach omelete & cinammon pancakes were great. Fish & chips was also good and made without beer inthe batter. It came with chipotle sauce and sour cream. Read more
Tom?s Restaurant is a traditional corner deli in Crown Heights. The main dining room is filled with little pieces of different... decor, but the art noveau murals stand out. We sat on the external area, which is not as interesting, but still has a wallfilled with different certifications and decorations. The food is tasty, but Tom?s Famous Cherry Lime Rickey was the bestthing. It?s cherry soda with a lime slice, and the natural lime flavor with the syrupy artificial soda packs a punch, especiallyduring summer. The lemon ricotta pancakes were plenty and well made, with the sides also very good. A nice experience, overall. Read more
Tom?s is a very cute, classic old diner complete with the requisite checkered floor, counter seating, cushy booths, and greasy... menus. I came here on a weekend for lunch and had no problem getting a table immediately. There?s the main room with booths andcounters, a side room with tables (this second room feels less like a diner and loses some of the vibe of the main space), and alarge outdoor seating area. Prices were all very reasonable. Though it?s listed as a breakfast and lunch spot, the menu isexclusively breakfast items. I didn?t think the food was that great (even by diner standards). The hash browns were basicallybaked potatoes and the omelet was pretty flavorless. But all in all, it was fine for a casual, cheap, quick spot. Read more
Stopped in near close, the staff was super grateful and accommodating and reassured us to please sit and enjoy even though they... were closing up. Made us feel right at home. Never felt like a burden. Food was awesome. Decor and atmosphere was great. A trueBrooklyn classic. Really made us feel like part of the neighborhood crowd on our visit to NYC. Will return! Read more
The coffee is great. Strong and bold. Really enjoyed the portions of food. The potatoes did seem under cooked for my taste, but... my Mexican Omlet was delicious. The flavors of butter choices for the silver dollar pancakes I had to try at home; I was toofull. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the butter and pancakes also. The atmosphere, customers, and services is a win win. Verywelcoming; and to be in business as long as you have means you must be doing the right thing. Looking forward to visiting againsoon. ????

Solid diner food and for the price, this is the best bang for the buck in the area. The star was the pack cakes which were... phenomenal - they have so many flavors as well. The service is quick, the food is tasty, and everything is inexpensive. Youcan?t really ask for more. Looking forward to trying out more options. Read more
I?ve been here a couple of times. Great little diner, super vintage looking, great speedy service and the food is great diner... food. We got lucky since we came in at 11 and there was no line. Usually there is one winding down the street. Note that thisplace is cash only and takes no reservations. We came in and we were seated in 10 mins as soon as our whole party showedup. The restaurant is cute, has an old school diner vibe and I love the non matching plates and mugs we are given - feels likea home or a bnb. Some cool decor as well and they have a little covered outside space as well as the restaurant itself. Thefood was good- very Midwestern feeling diner food. I loved the strudel pancake and the sweet potato waffle They have lots oftables and seat you pretty quickly. Mostly the tables seat about 6 - slightly a tight squeeze I?ve tried the pancakes here andrecommend the blueberry ricotta. I also liked how they do the pastrami and the crab cakes. I love how they do three littlebutters - strawberry, pumpkin and cinnamon. The wait staff comes to you quickly and brings the food out Quickly as well. Theydid recommend to us that we were ordering too much food (and we were) so we appreciated that. Read more
It takes a lot for me to give a restaurant 4+ stars. But this place did it, the food was great (we had breakfast) they gave... these little 3 spreads that makes you feel great inside and just want to know their recipe for it. The pancakes and waffles wereextremely soft and fluffy, they had these unique taste that makes you feel the restaurant added a secret ingredient. The onlynegative I can say about the food is they use deli yellow cheese for the eggs. The omelet was average nothing out of theordinary. Other than that they give you a nice sized cup of coffee and orange juice, a big healthy portion of food with anamazing price. Definitely would like to come back and try their other items. Read more
