Not to be confused with Tom's Restaurant on the Upper West Side, the one that gave Seinfeld a facade and singer Suzanne Vega a muse, this diner has been an important staple of the Brooklyn breakfast scene for decades. There is nothing fancy at this charming and tchotchke-filled old-style luncheonette that's just a few blocks from Prospect Park -- except for the free orange slices and cookies that owner Gus, and his father Tom before him, have been handing out since its inception in the 1930s. The burgers, vanilla floats, fruit-filled pancakes and cherry-lime rickeys have long been a favorite of Prospect Heights and Park Slope regulars. Ever since word got out years ago about Tom's top marks, the hype has exploded exponentially -- weekend lines are long, Manhattanites are foregoing Pastis, and even Jersey kids are snapping up Tom's logo t-shirts. Even Seinfeld would have to wait in line.

Love the atmosphere
Shurlab - 05/30/2008The food is excellent and the portions are huge. My only wish is that they would open on Sunday.
Add CommentGus and Noni, we love your restaurant
Nunu1630 - 05/24/2008Great everything. Happy atmosphere and employees, my Saturdays just wouldn't be right without breakfast at Tom's!
Gus, I love you.
PierceSoyer - 05/20/2008The owner is the best host anywhere. The rest of the staff are also wonderful. The decore is kitsch with soul, art, and grace. The pancakes are wonderful...proof that great breakfasts needn't be covered with whipped cream and gooey sugary fruit to make one feel sinfully well-fed.

Home Away from Home
jonathanpaladini - 02/20/2007I'm not the type of person that usually writes reviews but Tom's Restaurant is The Place to be on any given day (except Sundays, they are closed... hey if God got a day off then Gus and his staff deserve one as well).
Not only do you get that Home away from Home vibe but you leave there hoping that they adopt you, the staff is just that sweet.
