Lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and spend almost every weekend at this joint. Love the old school, love the menu, love the milk shakes, and loved the staff. 10 out of 10!!!!!

This review is for take-out. I ordered a mushroom and cheese omelette with home fries and turkey sausage on the side. They gave only one sausage split down the middle and for 8$... I can walk to the grocery store and get a whole pack of sausages for that price.Everything was severely under-seasoned and dry. And the home fries had a strange chemical aftertaste.I'm pretty saddened by my delivery experience since I've gone in person and had their sweet potato pancakes and was blown away by how moist and fluffy they were. Maybe their sweet breakfast items are better than their savory dishes.

We love diners! I found this one in a search and we walked almost 2 miles to get here and it was worth it! The greeter was super nice, we were able to seat ourselves in a booth in the back and the decor is what you'd expect in a diner that's been been around since 1939 -- funky and interesting.Nice size menu but not overwhelming. I had two eggs over easy, sausage and an English muffin... My husband had the pancake and scrambled eggs and sausage aka "the 2 x 2 x 2. "My coffee was perfect! And you can get it with cream or milk. They also brought us a plate of lightly spread peanut butter and honey toast to gnosh on while we waited for our meal. Inexpensive and delightful! Highly recommend

In NY visiting my favorite person and she suggested this place for breakfast. This is the definition of a mom and pop spot. Very small inside but the food slapping. They have a bit of outdoor space as well but it was a soggy Saturday so we opted for inside. It was packed, I would say no more than 25ppl capacity, but surprisingly we waited less than 15mins for seating for 3. At noon on a Saturday you can't ask for more than that. We had:My friend - streusel pancakes - 10/10 the minute I bit into this pancake I realized I made the wrong choice. The pancake was light and sweet even without syrup. Me - BBQ blue burger - 7/10 - it was juicy and the size was worth the price for sure. I give it a 7/10 because it wasn't a meal and the burger could've been seasoned better. You only get the burger but can add lettuce, tomato and fries for an additional $6. We both had some lemonade mix, I wish I could but they were both good, not overly sweet but refreshing. I'd def come back and try their lemon pancakes, the description for these sounded divine.

Place is very old school, cash only and unassuming. The menu is pretty big with lots of options for breakfast or lunch. I was a bit hungover and was feeling ravenous, thus I ordered two dishes. I've had better huevos rancheros honestly, and should've opted for one of their omelette as instead. The pancakes and bacon were excellent and hit the spot. Service was chill and polite. Will definitely come back and try some of their lunch items next time.

I had no idea I was walking into a legend of a diner. This place is absolutely top notch and has quickly risen to my favorite diner I've been to.A few things to keep in mind, it's a walk in type place and you might have to wait upwards of 30 min. It's also cash only but they have an ATM inside. That being said, this old school joint is absolutely a bucket list worthy place.I was feeling adventurous and went with the cinnamon roll pancakes, an iced coffee and home fries. Wowie-wow-wow. Those pancakes are dreamy, decadent and worth blowing away my calorie goals for the week. The attention to detail of adding the swirl on the actual pancakes while keeping their fluffy but rich texture is just amazing. They also offer multiple types of butter to pair with your sweet dishes. Just amazing.I also really enjoyed my home fries as they were well seasoned and it was nice to break up some sweetness with a bit of savory.The service was amazing and so friendly. You feel part of the family when you walk in. It's very old school and homey.I will be bringing any friends and visiting family here from now on. 5/5

The place was packed as it always is; a line to get in and seated so they must be doing something right. My pancakes were delicious and fluffy so go for the pancakes if nothing else. My friend's crab cake Benedict...well, you can see the picture, it was fried to all hell and I don't even know what that was supposed to be on top...cheese? Sauce? Cheese sauce? No clue and I didn't even want to taste it. Our server was polite and kept the coffee coming. It's cash only and the ATM was broken so that was a huge pain in the ass, but it was nice to say I visited the Toms Diner from the Suzanne Vega song and they have the lyrics and other cool stuff on the walls. I won't go back though.

I've been coming here since 1981. Returning, at times, over multiple years abroad and it NEVER disappoints when you want a hardy breakfast with a #trulyBrooklyn vibe. The Piano Man is playing in the background and the Diner is humming with conversation. The food is great, the service is spectacular, honestly, high end for a little Mom-n-Pop Shop!Not snobby high end though..... just amazing!Highly recommended!

Just your neighborhood restaurant with some down home cooking. I wanted to come on here and shoutout the exceptional customer service. Although the food was good, the cherry on top was the host and server.

The truth is that this spot is definitely a memory for the locals as opposed to a meal to enjoy for those who want a real breakfast. The charming atmosphere doesn't match the lack of flavor present (or absent for that matter) in the food. The lack of flavor could be forgivable if the texture wasn't also really bad. The service was fine and the waiters were generally hospitable. I cannot say that this is the worst restaurant I've been to, but it's certainly one of the most disappointing diners I've been to. With most of these issues, I have no reason to leave a review, but what made this place review worthy, was the fact that is cash only. For the owners, I hope that whatever legacy you previously had, do not lose it by letting the quality of your food go to waste.
