About this business
This popular tourist attraction is a bit more famous than your standard diner. The coffee is hot and the food is better-than-average, but that's to be expected in NYC. What sets Tom's Restaurant apart is its pop culture history. This diner, in business since the 1940s, served as the model for the diner on Seinfeld, where the gang spent every day discussing shrinkage, puffy shirts and, you know, "yada yada yada."

Fun diner, great food! – 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 takin... read more
Tom's Restaurant is famous because of Seinfeld. If you're a seinfeld enthusiast and love milk shakes! Tom's is a must! The service is terrible and they barely passed their food inspection, so just keep that in mind.
Customer service is more of the "soup" episode on seinfeld than anything! – 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 ... read more
Tourist attraction – 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.
Broadway shake! This is the place for a) Seinfeld addicts and b) drunk or studied-out students to find great cheese fries and wonderful shakes (the Broadway isn't on the menu, but just ask for it).
Fun Diner – 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.
Great Diner, Love the Seinfeld Gear! – Ok, this Diner is awesome. Not only is the food very tasty and the service is great, they also have a bunch of Seinfeld gear! Totally cool. Check out Tom's!
I love diners and this is a good one. – This is the Seinfeld diner, it is fun and quirky. It's moderately priced and the waitresses are nice... for NYC.
delicious food, good prices, SEINFELD – I went to this famous restaurant with a buddy for fun more than anything else, and it turned out to be reasonably priced, with great service and delicious breakfast food! Not sure about other meals though. Plus Seinfeld memorabilia!
