Tom's is a friendly fast service diner.
The staff were wonderful and attentive, and the food was delicious!
The burgers are excellent as are the salads

A great diner for quick bites and your classic breakfast menu items. The service is fast and kind and the decor has some fun throwbacks to Seinfeld. Otherwise, the food quality is as you would expect and nothing wow-worthy.

I hate to do this. I really do. I'm a fan of the Tom's diner song so I stopped by here during my visit in New York. The service was fast but no nonsense which is fine but the food is what was the most disappointing. I had an omelet that I didn't even bother to take a photo of because it was so dry and depressing like they used powdered eggs. Just kind of a bummer!

Food 5/10
Finally came to Tom's after already being at Columbia for four years and now it's already senior spring. The food was fine. Normal diner food. Very average breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese. Very big though. Greasy. Just what you expect.
Atmosphere 8/10
Vibes are fun. Good company too.
Service 5/10
The waiter was super sweet and lovely, really liked everyone except at the end some new waiter went up to our table and said we had to pay now even though we didn't even stay for an hour yet. Rip.

I specified the need to have a seat w a back, they had plenty of tables inside. They refused. Probably a violation of code.

Hesitant to order delivery from diners and have never been to this iconic Tom's Restaurant before, but I live within its range so decided to go for it.
Ordered a Roasted Turkey with Cranberry Sauce entree with a salad and soup. It also came with vegetables and potatoes. (I specified mashed with gravy.) The soup du jour was Chicken and Rice with Vegetables, clearly homemade.
Service was quick and the food was super fresh! Everything was excellent!
Would order from there again, and recommend others try out the same platter!

I'm an avid Seinfeld fan/ with that being said, I've had Tom's Restaurant aka Monks bookmarked for years. Since my grandmother lived not too far away, I always figured I would drop by after visiting her, which is exactly what happened today.
I've read the reviews that basically it's a tourist trap and wasn't the greatest. Well, that's exactly my experience. Upon entering, the lady behind the cash counter would tell me where to sit, but she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We took a seat and the server came over shortly thereafter with water. While the service wasn't bad, it wasn't exactly the best, either.
My daughter went with a cheeseburger and I went with eggs and home fries with a side of mozzarella sticks. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The same can be said for the service. The ambiance isn't very great---it's just very bleak but we eat, and I was happy to get to experience the Seinfeld Diner. After thinking it over and over come to the decision after some Yada... yada... yada...I won't be back.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 3 - 606731778Oct 15, 2023
Decent really hot food if you are hungry!
Crispy fries!
$8 house wine ok.
Great service!
Soup with meal kind of sad late at night. Stale crackers.
