First time in NYC and had to head to Tom's as a die-hard Seinfeld fan. Got the photo from outside but decided to eat brunch in there as well. Good menu and good sized breakfast. The coffee was as good as the Starbucks I had early in the day. The food was pretty good taste wise. The staff must get... more

I was unaware this was the “Seinfeld” restaurant before going in. For those that are looking for poor food, dirty staff and rude NYC experience this is the place to go. Seriously when you go in, look at the staff. Dirty and F-in weird, like the adams family. Imagine what the look like in the kitchen. Take a pic from... more

Ate here as a pilgrimage to Seinfeld. Tuesday morning - place was pretty quiet. Good thing too...it's awfully small, and I can imagine it getting uncomfortably crowded. They serve typical coffee shop fare that's not too special, but it's very reasonable and the portions are good. more

On my one and only visit to NYC in January of 2008 one of my best friends gave me the greatest gift ever, he showed me Tom's Restaurant. Being an avid fan, he showed me this place on my first night in the Big Apple. I was home. For those that don't know, this diner was used as the outdoor... more

This smaller place, with its connections to tv-series Seinfeld makes your New York-heart start pumping. Simple menues with the full supply. I would recommend the flatjacks with maple syrup. The whole place is packed with Seinfeld-memorabilia, very nice! more

Yes its the Seinfeld diner so great for photo ops. The service was very friendly. It was full of tourists inside but what do you expect? They make amazing milkshakes and the food is standard diner fare. Recommended. more

Good place with generous portions and a good atmosphere. We ordered refillable drinks but they were never refilled, and while waiting to be offered a refill we were asked to leave because it was getting busy and we were no longer eating anything. So... mixed feelings. more

Ok, I have to admit, I only ate here cuz it's the Seinfeld diner. ;) The service was very friendly, but the food was just ok. The interior looks nothing like the Seinfeld diner, so just take a pic of the outside and eat elsewhere. more

Over rated. It's a nice place, but does not stand out. Way too many tourists for the obvious reasons. more
