What People Are Saying About Tom's Restaurant
The Editor

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…

Fun diner, great food!
by Karen Jayne at Citysearch
We went to Tom's for breakfast on my boyfriend's birthday, as he is a big Seinfeld fan! I went because I know he wanted to but it was great! The outside only is the Seinfeld bit, they didn't film inside. It was a traditional, comfortable diner. The waitresses looked miserable but they were helpful & polite. The menu was huge - I had corned beef hash, potatoes & eggs easy-over plus coffee with a free re-fill. There seemed to be students & locals of all ages eating & those that didn't finish were taking their doggy bags with them! All in all, we had fun & a tasty breakfast. I would recommend :)
- Pros: Massive menu, good prices
- Cons: A liitle trek to get to

Customer service is more of the "soup" episode on seinfeld than anything!
by eeyore1965 at Citysearch
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

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.
