They never filmed Seinfeld here, just the exterior. Jerry Seinfeld & Jason Alexander did film an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee as their famous characters in season 3 "The Over-Cheer" ☺
Get the Ruben sandwich for $10. Comes with fries and he sandwich is massive. Easily feeds two people. Also get the chocolate milkshake
2 👍👍 up! I went strictly because of the obvious, Seinfeld. And I ended up loving it! The server was great, was great. Oreo shake is awesome. Chocolate pancakes too! Outside seating available.
Fun place for every Seinfeld fan . Wide variety, good food, reasonable prices. Takes CASH only and only 1 refill on beverages so be aware. Small but they move people thru quickly.
First off its very old school in here the register is even analog,second its cash only (ATM inside) so know this before eating. I had the turkey club and a milk shake both were very good.
This is the only diner I'll go to outside of Jersey. Don't be a tourist and just get a picture outside - head inside for some food! Pastrami and eggs are fabulous. Staff is SO friendly .
Make sure you wipe utensils and order and extra drink with meal or you'll get a baby drink.Despite being sent to back of restaurant to dirty table by lady at the front, the food and server were great
Ingrid is hands down the best server. Everything is made with love that's why everything tastes so good...
Fish and Chips . Great value , not to slow, very clean . Great place to have a conversation or date.
I took a friend from New Mexico to Tom's Restaurant and she was super-excited, being a Seinfield fan and all!!! We took a pic here at 3:00am!!! I love having breakfast at Tom's!!!
Though the facade is only featured on Seinfeld, I felt like I walked right onto set; waitress spent the entire hour+ eating(complete with ice cream @8 AM?) and picking pimples off her face. WWGD?
Seinfeld hype aside, this is an excellent local diner . Great place to sit at the bar with a cup of coffee and the newspaper
It may only have used its exterior in Seinfeld, but it's still iconic for anyone who loves the show.
Milkshakes and malted milk both are SO good, consistently. My favorite non-spiked milkshake in the neighborhood .
Monk's Café in Seinfeld ... Broiled Salmon is my favorite here. Otw Deluxe burger or hot pastrami sandwich r a good choice for quick meal between classes .
Seinfeld was NOT filmed inside here: only the outside was used on the show. There is a signed poster inside. Like most diners, cash only , but handy in that they actually have an ATM .
When you ask for a double burger , it is not 2 patties as you'd suspect, it's actually 2 glorious whole burgers . So good and worth it.
I strictly went here for "Seinfeld". The service is incredibly fast and I ordered Tom's "famous" shishkabob which was sub par. Cool diner-like atmosphere but I would say just get your pic and leave.
What can you say? Is the seinfeld restaurant and the food is actually good. Its a big menu.
My go-to restaurant for drunk food. Amazing milkshakes and breakfast food . Don't get seafood though, that's not their specialty.
Seinfeld diner ! *ahem* Now that I have that out of the way...I recommend the cheesecake with strawberry topping if you feel like indulging in desert .
If you must sing the refrain from the Suzanne Vega song, try keeping it to yourself and not upsetting the locals.
Great late night study spot in the summer when Butler Library isn't open 24/7. Free WiFi from campus and bottomless coffee .
Extremely friendly personnel , very affordable prices and they got some of the best french fries around :)
The food is really good and the service is always friendly .
Had the soup , chicken fingers , and turkey triple decker . Good food!
Pastrami was very good, burger was very good, fries were very, very good AND the shake was the VERY BEST!
Ingrid the server was probably the sweetest and nicest server i ever met. As long as you do it with love
This place is a well-oiled machine! The portions are huge and meant for hangovers or comfort. I love it to bits.
Classic spot, home of Seinfeld. Service was great until we had to pay at the register and the owner was grumpy
The service here is good. It's a great place to have breakfast , lunch and dinner .
I love this place but be ready to eat and run, not much of a leisurely hang around vibe.
Most people come here to visit the shrine to Seinfeld, but they stay because of the milkshakes and the good diner food
A must for Seinfeld fans . Diner food . Decent prices.
A diner mostly famous for its appearances in Seinfeld; good for a quick fix in its own right.
Bread and scrambled eggs . Bathroom is pretty full of drawings, though :)
This place is famous for the sitcom "Seindfield". The staff is friendly . Pumkin soup is awesome!
Don't you just take a picture outside :) Try breakfast and pancakes . Friendly staff ...
On "Seinfeld's" restaurant you can get the most fantastic milkshakes !
George Constanza brought me here!
Fish and Chips , service is quick, but not fast food quick. Great conversational environment.
Inspiration for Seinfeld and that annoying Suzanne Vega song that was played constantly in it's heyday. Don't come here for personality or service and you won't be letdown. Basic diner plates, crowded
Seinfeld-diner, of course! Nice breakfast with good atmosphere.
Great vanilla malt milkshake , however staff were a bit pushy to move us on.
Love the pistachio milk shake ! Decent prices for upper west side/Columbia university .
Cheap food and quick-witted servers. Poke fun back at them and you'll leave with a hug, free coffee , and a sincere "See ya later!"
Dear god best milkshake I have ever had. And wow have I had a lot of milkshakes .
Decent diner food . Gaymazing breakfast specials before 11am. Crating here makes u feel like u are in a Seinfeld episode. Werk it out tranny!
One of the best diners in NY plus the tv show Seinfeld was filmed here
Tasty food. Great atmosphere. Cash only so come prepared.
Great place to escape from the noise of the city. Huge area to explore with plenty of lakes and quiet spots to enjoy a picnic. - Carl Griffin
Gets very crowded on weekends, but definitely always a fun place to visit with kids! - Paige C
Always my favourite place to be when I am in NY. Love the dynamic. - Atika Al-Bimani
