Tom's

I love that this place exists because it's a historical landmark. Having a physical space for Seinfeld fans to visit is lovely. The memorabilia was great. Just wish the food was better. Had eggs Benny, wish they asked what I wanted for a side. I don't like hash browns. I would have preferred a salad or fruit. There is room to improve, but I'll say it again, I'm so happy this restaurant exists.

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.

Seinfeld diner, had to take my sister who is a fanatic. Interior and atmosphere is nice and lively, bustling with lots of students. The waitress did irk me a bit as I was looking through the menu. We said we needed a few more minutes and she came back every 15 seconds to ask if we were ready, but she was lovely. At the end I just chose anything I saw because I felt immensely pressured and so did my sister. My boyfriend got a corner beef Reuben which he says was fine, I got a corned beef sandwich which was terribly dry, and my sister got standard eggs and turkey bacon platter. Don’t get the corned beef sandwich, I felt like throwing water on it so it could at least not feel like I’m eating beef jerky.

A fantastic and unique New Yorkian breakfast experience. The food was reasonably priced and very tasty. The only problem I had was, as a British person, I didn't vibe with their potatoes. But the service was delightful, the atmosphere was buzzing, and as a Seinfeld fan it was fantastic.

Really happy to have crossed this of my bucket list. Tom's Restaurant has a historical significance for me as a Seinfeld fan. Besides that, the food was delicious - try "Jerry's Salad", and the hospitality of the staff exceeded my expectations.
