In Short
This old-fashioned luncheonette, festooned with artificial flowers and signs touting the cherry lime rickeys, egg creams and banana-walnut pancakes, is favorite pitstop for folks visiting the Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Gardens. Everyone's friendly, especially the genial owner, Gus Vlahadas, who's responsible for the thick milkshakes and juicy burgers.

If you drink even half as much as I do you need a proper breakfast on a saturday morning am I right? Pancakes with fresh Strawberries & a side of bacon will do you right every time and the line outside goes fast while you're drinking your complimentary coffee!!!!! You haven't lived if you haven't had breakfast at Tom's!!!

Tom's is the best brunch in Prospect Heights, hands down. It's a contender for the title in all of Brooklyn as well. Lines out the door are an annoyance but the woman handing out coffee, orange slices and cookies makes it worthwhile. Their selection of pancakes (mango walnut, pumpkin, blueberry, everything) is amazing, their huge bagels and muffins are a meal in themselves and the huevos rancheros is also really good. The owner treats everyone like family and you're always taken care of. The egg creams are a must-have for anyone bringing their out of town friends.

by far anyone who comes to this restaurant leaves with a smile and promising to come back. Its just an all around great place to eat the owner comes around and shakes your hand and brings you newapaper and they serve you cookies and oranges as you are waiting on line and sitting. Please just check it out for your self and I know that you will feel the same.
