What People Are Saying About Tom's Restaurant

The Scene – Columbia academics, local hospital workers and tourists who snap pictures by the famous neon sign outside flock here daily. The clean, sunny interior looks nothing like Jerry and the gang's dingy haunt, but it showcases fun ephemera like "Seinfeld" cast autographs and press clips on how the diner inspired the musical ode by Suzanne Vega. – – The Food – Expect standard burgers, gyros, triple-decker clubs and comforting open-faced sandwiches dripping with gravy or oozing with cheese--reliable food that's for eating quickly before running back to class or…

Customer service is more of the "soup" episode on seinfeld than anything!

by eeyore1965

Visiting and of course had to go to Toms restaurant! There were 4 of us, it was around 3 pm, so lunch was over, not ready for dinner. We ordered 1 ice tea, 2 diet cokes and 1 shake with a piece of pie. Bill was about $20. On the menu it says free refills, when one of the diet cokes was asked to be refilled, the extremely rude old waitress picked up the bill and added $2.50 on it! We asked about the free refills and in her broken accent she said. You no eat, no refill for you! Explained that we did have a piece of pie (which was horrible) She said again, no eat no refill! Needless to say she had us out the door in minutes. Now its just a story about how rude they are!

  • Pros: Its Toms, you have to see it, just be careful if you go in
  • Cons: Rude

Tourist attraction

by pcooper9

Tom's is a mediocre diner at best and certainly not the top choice for those who live in the neighborhood. There's just nothing special about it other than everyone in the world saw it Seinfeld for 8 or 9 years. In fact if you want some great coffee and unbelievable french toast go half a block up to Deluxe.

Fun Diner

by Brasco1

In addition to friendly tolerant staff the food is what you expect from a diner, plus the delight of having Seinfeld paraphernalia around you makes for good conversation.
