Special 2 by 2 by 2 Combo
Duane C.

Came here with the family on a summer Saturday afternoon and sat in the covered patio extension. It had an old school, old eclectic diner feel, with Christmas decorations still up where we sat. That gave us pause, but we were sat right away in the middle of lunchtime in a full house, so we felt fortunate - and we were famished! Service was quick, efficient and polite! We ordered the BLT, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and 2 and 2 egg, sausage and pancakes combo. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. My son didn't put syrup on his cinnamon roll pancakes, which is almost unheard of but always a good sign. The BLT was loaded with bacon, and the sausage was thick and flavorful. Would definitely recommend and will be back. It cost about $20 per person just FYI and is CASH ONLY.

Danish Pancakes - ricotta, parmesan, lemon zest and blueberries. Fluffy and delicious. Served with specialty whipped butters.
Mary Jane R.

Charming old fashioned diner with delicious food, fast service, and decent prices for 2026! My husband had a cheeseburger which was delicious and quite large. I had the Dutch Pancakes that were served with whipped strawberry, pumpkin, and cinnamon butter. The pancakes were ultra fluffy. The menu says they are "famous" pancakes and I would not doubt it! We went after a visit to the Brooklyn Museum. A 7 minute walk. Highly recommend!

A true community staple and the recipe is simple: at home like service, amazing food, large portion sizes and FAST!! That's what Tom's is. No gimmicks, no influencers. Straight to the point FOOD. Cash only but there's an atm on site. I loved the cherry mix. I got the chocolate cake French toast yummy. Home fries, omelet, bacon. Classic mixed with razzle dazzle. Waiters work together as a true team. There was no line when we went mid morning on a Wednesday. Great for families, singles, EVERYONE

Silver Dollar Pancake
Varsha T.

this was my first time trying tom's diner. i arrived on a weekend around 3 pm and ordered the eggs florentine. the food was honestly incredible. i also sampled pancakes and a sandwich. everything felt very hearty, homemade and was perfect for a weekend brunch. the interior of the restaurant has a very close-knit, warm and welcoming appearance. i really enjoyed my lunch/brunch here. of note, i didn't have to wait for a party of four. the place is cash only so just plan beforehand. i would hundred percent come back & i strongly recommend trying the pancakes.

Jasmine S.

Cash only. Quick service. Friendly staff. Delish food. I had to make this review quick and simple because that's what you'll experience at this restaurant. The menu is simple with a lot of typical breakfast food options. The food comes out soo quick and fresh. There's an atm at the restaurant also.

Silver Dollar Pancake with a side of Bacon
Alana C.

Tom's for breakfast with my family will always be part of my heart. It will always be my first choice. The Service is always warm, Food is always amazing, Coffee is good. I basically always order the same thing lol I'll come here and bring my family forever k3

Mushroom Omelette and side turkey sausage split down
Angela C.

This review is for take-out. I ordered a mushroom and cheese omelette with home fries and turkey sausage on the side. They gave only one sausage split down the middle and for 8$... I can walk to the grocery store and get a whole pack of sausages for that price. Everything was severely under-seasoned and dry. And the home fries had a strange chemical aftertaste. I'm pretty saddened by my delivery experience since I've gone in person and had their sweet potato pancakes and was blown away by how moist and fluffy they were. Maybe their sweet breakfast items are better than their savory dishes.

Cinnamon Pancake Pork Sausage 2 Eggs Special 2 by 2 by 2 Combo
Gabriella D.

Great food and service! The waiter was super nice and the ambience was cozy. We found parking easily. Would definitely go again!

Andrew C.

A solid diner with very generous portions in Brooklyn. We made the mistake of both ordering an eggs dish + french toast/pancakes, and were stunned to see so much food come out and weren't getting close to finish. Food was decent; the scrambled eggs came out more like a omelet (??) and fries tasted frozen but the pork sausage was pretty good. French toast I felt wasn't particularly special and even if I wasn't already so full likely wouldn't get it again. Great value for the meal, but compared to other diners I've been around the city not my personal favorite - still a super vibey place and will likely come back. BTW - cash only

BBQ Burger
Courtney C.

In NY visiting my favorite person and she suggested this place for breakfast. This is the definition of a mom and pop spot. Very small inside but the food slapping. They have a bit of outdoor space as well but it was a soggy Saturday so we opted for inside. It was packed, I would say no more than 25ppl capacity, but surprisingly we waited less than 15mins for seating for 3. At noon on a Saturday you can't ask for more than that. We had: My friend - streusel pancakes - 10/10 the minute I bit into this pancake I realized I made the wrong choice. The pancake was light and sweet even without syrup. Me - BBQ blue burger - 7/10 - it was juicy and the size was worth the price for sure. I give it a 7/10 because it wasn't a meal and the burger could've been seasoned better. You only get the burger but can add lettuce, tomato and fries for an additional $6. We both had some lemonade mix, I wish I could but they were both good, not overly sweet but refreshing. I'd def come back and try their lemon pancakes, the description for these sounded divine.

Huevos Rancheros, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, Bacon
Jonathan M.

Place is very old school, cash only and unassuming. The menu is pretty big with lots of options for breakfast or lunch. I was a bit hungover and was feeling ravenous, thus I ordered two dishes. I've had better huevos rancheros honestly, and should've opted for one of their omelette as instead. The pancakes and bacon were excellent and hit the spot. Service was chill and polite. Will definitely come back and try some of their lunch items next time.

Koriey H.

Just your neighborhood restaurant with some down home cooking. I wanted to come on here and shoutout the exceptional customer service. Although the food was good, the cherry on top was the host and server.

Matthew S.

I had always wanted to try Tom's. Not the one in Coney Island, but this one, here in Prospect Heights! The vibe is very old school, 1960's greasy spoon, with letterboard signs and a long breakfast bar countertop. There are tables for sitting at as well, in case you plan on having a group of people dining in. The food has an old school taste to it as well. Humongous pancakes that are fluffy and full of that flavor that only a greasy spoon can create. Two is the perfect amount. Three might work, but after that you are asking to be put in a food coma. The bacon (I got turkey) is thick and juicy and plentiful. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The eggs are a bit runny but taste good as well. Pretty hard to screw up eggs, but I have been to restaurants where they have, so never say never. The rest of the menu items look completely satiable. Pricey, but I could eat the whole menu if not for the fact I am not made of money and am mortal, just like the rest of you (sorry if I offended the robots). Now if only they took credit cards, I would be here almost every weekend (disregarding it takes two trains for me to get here). Tables also go fast, and they close early, so come early or during an off time. Your stomach will be thankful.

Do they have real maple syrup?

Are the bananas cooked into the pancakes?

Yes, Tom's cooks the fruit (apples, blueberries, bananas) into their pancakes

Do you have gluten free food?

Of course, since gluten is only in wheat. Eat meat, fruit, veggies and you won't get any gluten

How's the parking around there, for say 5:30pm weekday. is there a parking lot nearby?

Alan, only street parking nearby. Residential neighborhood. Depends on when you go but we went during weekend. It's going to take you some time or some walking. Meters on the main streets.

Do they serve breakfast all day?

yep, same menu all day

The servers come directly to your table and they write down the menu for the day. The menu generally run American classics, but a bit more "chefy" than a run of the mill diner. Unfortunately, I think I came on an off day, as there were some miscues. The clam dish had a ton of potential, but was noticeably overseasoned, and I'm a self-proclaimed salt lover. It was mentioned that the pork chop was going to be medium to medium-rare, but what we received was in the edge of well done (and even burned on some ends). The burger and fries, though, were fantastic. A bit hit or miss, but I do want to come back as the menu is creative and I'm sure it would have been great on a better day.

The pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. So fluffy and light soaked in the sweet butter syrup. To die for.

Evidently they are famed far and wide for their pancakes, which are quite delicious. I actually prefer more texture in mine, with a bit of crisp from the butter/griddle, but you will not be sad about eating these. That said, I truly enjoyed almost everything else more. This is not a knock on them in any way, but a compliment to their kitchen that all their food is interesting and delicious. To wit: The Thai Cobb salad has the base of a classic, but with the heat and the acid of a proper som tum. The KFC wings are everything I wanted them to be. I ate way too many. The Mushroom Reuben Quesadilla (pastrami-spiced portobello!) actually evokes the flavors of a reuben, and may just have been my favorite bite of the evening. I rolled with a katsu club sandwich for my main, and it was outstanding, although I may even have liked the tuna melt more. I was too full for dessert, but I think everyone around the table enjoyed theirs. The staff is uniformly friendly, welcoming, on top of their shit, and honestly, just so cool. They made us feel at home, and got us everything we needed and more. This is a gem. Maybe I won't wait seven years to try the next trendy spot.

Tiny little place, lightly decorated with Mexican themes. Came here based on Yelp's high ratings…read moreand it certainly lived up to praise. If you're looking for fanfare, this ain't the place. But if you're looking for some excellent, straight forward, wonderfully crafted simplicity, this is in your wheelhouse. A quesadilla is a quesadilla, a hamburger a hamburger. Sounds boring? Not when your hamburger and quesadilla are amongst the best you've ever had at any diner, anywhere. Our waitress was very nice and allowed us to dine, unbothered. We ordered a fresh fruit platter for dessert. It included watermelon, mango, grapes, apples, strawberries, etc. very nice, well presented. The dining area certainly belies what happens in that kitchen behind the door. I'll be back to try some more simple, but excellent food.

We were staying in the neighborhood and trying to find a spot within walking distance for dinner…read more After wandering around for awhile, we landed on Jey Diner after walking past. This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.

Once we got seated, we got to see the very old-school, fun atmosphere inside, and were seated at a very comfortable booth, which is great for a group! We got the baby back ribs, eggplant parm, Caesar salad, vinegar chicken, and brownie sundae. The Caesar salad was all right, nothing amazing, but still done well! Just didn't blow me away. The vinegar chicken was awesome! The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and it was packed with flavor. The sauce was to die for. The eggplant Parmesan was also great! It was executed perfectly. The sauce had great flavor, and the eggplant was tender, yet crispy on the outside. The ribs were also great. They had a nice tangy barbecue sauce and were cooked very well. The brownie sundae looked awesome. However, it didn't blow me away. I felt like the mint ice cream was good, but I wish there were more brownie pieces in there.

The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

It took a longer than I expected to be offered a drink or to ask what I want. But after I ordered, the food, came out extremely fast.

It was blueberry lemon, I didn't think I could eat three pancakes for the order so I decided to go with that and it was just the right size. Crisp, sweet, tart, crunchy, it was a perfect little treat for myself. Most definitely would order again. The BEC pierogies were tasty, but I felt like I should've at least gotten seven or eight for $16. That's 2.50 a dumpling for 6. I wish I had more for the price point or at least that they were more filled with stuffing, like it's eggs. I'm not disappointed just I was still slightly hungry when I left, which is not what I wanna feel after paying $38 for breakfast with tip. Not unreasonably priced just you don't feel like you're getting a good bargain is all. They are handmade. I'll give them that. The service was lovely. I may be back to try some other things, I would love to try the latkes. It was a cute environment for sure, Ukrainian diner vibes.
