I always have the best time at Tom's Restaurant. My only "complaint" is that I wish Tom's were open more hours of the day! But overall Toms is a delight- I highly recommended frequenting here as often as you can and ordering a shake no matter the time or day 💕 Some notes: -Tom's is cash only but they do have an ATM if you forgot your cash - there is usually a line to eat but it generally moves fast. Sometimes I'm lucky and don't have to wait at all other times I'll wait 10-20 mins - love their waffles, french toast, bacon 🙏

Weird the line is not as long as it used to be. It was about Saturday around 11am and the wait is 20 minutes for a table of four. Food is delicious as usual. I had the Mexican omelette and definitely get the fries. They have the best fries in America to be honest. We got pancake, egg Benedict and something else. Coffee is like a good old diner coffee in the familiar cup. Service can’t be better. The waiter is full of energy and love the smile. We got our order fast and correct. He gave us extra sauce and refill on coffee. It’s very tight spot and I would just have one person wait inside until the table is ready.

Tom’s Restaurant was EXACTLY what I was hoping it would be! A cozy old diner from 1936 still serving classic diner food that’s both delicious and totally reasonably priced. The burger and fries were absolutely classic and the fries held up over a long lunch without getting soggy

Wow. Just wow. No other words can describe the experience I just had at Tom’s. Like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to 1942. The pancakes are fluffed and my stomach is stuffed. What great food and atmosphere. Our gracious host even brought us a cream soda on the house! Will definitely be going back soon.

Best pancakes I’ve ever had, gone two days in a row as I only spent a few in NY and had to go again after the first brunch. Coffee and oj very good too.

I popped in for a quick bite. I was craving cooked sushi. The vibes here was friendly and serene. I got the black dragon roll. The woman who took my order was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and kind. The shrimp tempura was crispier than normal, the avocado was fresh and the eel sauce was sweet. I received a generous amount of refreshing pieces of ginger too. The roll was super delightful. I'll be coming here again for that roll specifically.

The food looked good but the taste didn't match. I usually like this type of shrimp but i was not feeling it at all on top of that the sauce that was given didnt taste good with it. The soup was the worse i tasted it and left it alone. The only decent thing was the bubble tea. However the server was nice and I like how the food was served on a small skillet pan

Took a lunch special "to go" from there once. The environment is good. They have a spacious waiting room. Staff is extremely friendly. The food is good. They have bubble tea (which is hard to find in that area).

This place is focused on take out orders. No table service. We didn’t even get water so that was a turn off. But my friend and I got sushi and we enjoyed it.

My boyfriend and I were looking for some local eats after taking photos in the botanical gardens. Luckily we stumbled upon this spot, it was very cute and cozy. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and jerk chicken bowl, it was tasty and filling. I would definitely recommend Cheryls if you are looking for a quick bite to eat while also supporting local small business.

The staff there are friendly and efficient. I've only been here during breakfast/brunch. Be sure to fill out the paper menu to order. If you like spicy ginger flavor, then I recommend their housemade gingerade. Food is hearty and tasty 😋

My wife and I have been meaning to check out Cheryl’s for quite some time now, and finally had our opportunity to dine for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was not too busy, it was a lovely day , and they have outdoor seating. As much as we wanted to love the place, we were disappointed. Waited more than 30 minutes for our chicken sandwich and grilled chicken bowl. I overheard another table complain that their burger was rare or almost raw, and sent back to the kitchen. The table next to us complained to the waiter that the chicken in their bowl was overcooked. And the table behind us had been waiting to pay for almost 20 minutes. The waiters were kind and friendly, but the service was slow and the kitchen was disappointing. Lastly, my wife’s chicken bowl was just lacking in flavor. This is SOUL food, and it lacked any flavoring or soul. We won’t be coming back.

Hidden Gem forshore!!! Beautiful atmospehere. Cozy . Dim. Great place to catch a bite. Food was amazing and cooked fresh to order. Jerk chicken bowl a must try! Staff even down to owner provided amazing customer service. To top it off they make their own hot sauce from scratch with scotch bonnet !!! Yes worth buying a bottle and taking it home. If you are ever in this area definitely stop by!

Honestly had a terrible time here but the food was good. I went solo and got my food first but not my house chai. Everyone else seemed to get their beverages before me. Hopefully they get a bigger place because the food is worth it. Still would recommend to eat but just not dining in

Nice atmosphere, quick service. Ordered an oat cappuccino and found that it was mostly smooth. Appreciated the perfectly frothed milk (and the latte art). Came here because it was walking distance to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (where, you cannot bring visible outside food or drink -- just a heads up).

How is this place not more popular?? Perhaps the best kept secret in Prospect Heights. Already ate about half of the salad before snapping this photo (I ordered mine without croutons) so portions clearly sizable. Delivery always super fast and service dining in is just the same. A favorite.
Jamie Lynn Meister - 3 months ago

My husband and I have come here a few times for lunch after visiting the BK Botanical Gardens and sat outside to eat. We’ve ordered the burger, veggie sandwich, lentil soup and kale salad with chicken. Everything we’ve ordered here has been fresh and tasty, which keeps us coming back. The fries are especially good! Great go-to place for lunch if you’re in the area.

Came in this morning with my partner to grab some coffee. I come to this cafe for coffee all the time on my way to work & tell people frequently that they have the best latte in the neighborhood. My partner thought he ordered a latte, but must’ve accidentally said coffee. When I see him go up to politely say something to the guy at the register to switch it out, he rudely remarks how he ordered coffee (looking at my partner like he is stupid for being confused) & didn’t offer to instead get him what he intended to order. Even if it meant charging us the difference. There’s a way to go about honest miscommunications & that’s not it. Both of us are in the service industry & it is so utterly disappointing to see employees interact with guests like that, let alone be on the receiving end of it. What’s the price difference between a drip coffee & a latte? A couple of dollars? We would’ve gladly paid the price adjustment to have what we wanted. Working with guests to give them a happy experience can sometimes be a matter of having a sliver of empathy. Had to give two stars because not even the best latte can save underwhelming customer service. Now both of us are hesitant about coming back and definitely regret leaving the 22% gratuity.

This was some of the best friend chicken I’ve had in a restaurant in a while! It taste just someone’s grandmother was back in that kitchen . The waffle was perfection! Very light and buttery you can truly just have this. Great customer service. I didn’t have a reservation but the wait was not long. Very intimate inside but you still had space to enjoy your meal. Can’t wait to come back again.

Your full party needs to be present before you can be seated but the wait was much shorter than expected. Enjoyed the food variety and beverages (get the Sorrell Mimosa). Friendly staff, the tip is included. Enjoy.

I place put together some awesome pictures for you all. This was my first time here I went craving a southern comfort meal it was amazing I recommend the cheddar cheese grits shrimp and catfish with the cinnamon waffles it was absolutely amazing. Although I am sleepy now it is very filling. The music was diverse. However everyone was extremely kind and accommodating. Thank you. There's indoor and sometimes outside seating depends on what days you arrive. The food from my point of view is very expensive I took a leap of faith I'm satisfied. It's small yet cozy. There are waits for your food, getting seated at times too. Don't just take my word try it for yourself.
Amanda Simmonds - 9 months ago

Wow! Just wow, the food was delicious. We tried the fried tilapia & grits, loaded home fries, Mac & cheese & salmon burger. I could not get enough of the loaded home fries and fish and grits! Mac & cheese was very tasty. The salmon burger & fries was our least favorite but still tasty! Only con is that we were told the bottomless mimosas had a bottom after 5 glasses lol but we will still be back!

I got a grilled pork banh mi, and to be very fair, the pork tasted really good. But I have to gift it 3 stars because it was kinda sad to see how little filling they put in the sandwich, I wish they had filled it up some more. Again, the taste is great, no complaints there. I probably would not come back to this place for banh mi again.
Joanna Hu - in the last week

Wait was pretty long, but the sandwich was solid. Medium spicy grilled pork. Would come back again if there wasn't a 30-minute wait. Thanks for the food!
Wesley Garland - a month ago

I have eaten here twice and honestly the food is just OK. The pho had no flavor. The broth tasted of water. The green Papaya salad was all carrots. The banh mi was skimpy on the meat. Overall disappointing. This is a hole in the wall restaurant. The dining area is tiny and uncomfortable. The bubble tea was fine but all ice if you ask me.

Mediocre food. Certainly not bad but the shredded chicken itself is pretty bland. I don’t think it was marinated. Pretty heavy on the mayo. 3.5 stars for food Knocked down a half star because of the pricing. Post tax and pre tip, a banh mi cost $10.50 (the menu used to list $7.50 and now lists $8.50, so there’s some mystery massive surcharge being added in addition to the tax - and credit card processing is not that expensive).

Banh Mi Place is a quick walk from The Brooklyn Museum. It has a reasonably priced menu of a variety of Banh Mi's. The restaurant is very small. There are 3 stools to sit on if you decide to dine in. I had the shredded chicken Banh Mi; I got it to go. The ingredients were fresh with the vegetables having a bit of a bite to it. It was delicious. Would visit again if I was in the area.

You get what you pay for. The food is very cheap compared to other places, but the quality is very poor. Everything just tasted old. The salsa and guac were watery. I ordered a chips and guac and they gave me 4 pieces of chips, which was pretty funny. Anyways, maybe go somewhere else if youre craving Mexican food lol
Justine Nava - 8 months ago

A Mexican place run entirely by Asians. Welcome to New York. I had the chorizo burrito. The food inside was ok, the chorizo perhaps a little dry and the tomatoes were watery and flavorless. What pissed me off was the lack of knowledge of how to wrap a burrito (see picture). I would love to watch a Millennial blogger from the Huffington Post lecture these people on cultural appropriation. I paid $8.50 for the burrito and a 20oz coke. A decent price point for this area of BK given the proximity to the park, BK Museum, and income level of the local residents. CASH ONLY - ATM Fee = $1.79

Good food, quick service. Always recommend the chicken nachos. Everything is always made fresh. Bot is left over.

They serve all vegan food with healthy smoothies. We walked up from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, had lunch, and then headed to the Brooklyn Museum. The black bean burger and side of lasagna were tasty but salty. The dining room was spotless, as was the outside seating in the back.

Blown away by this God sent place 🙏 well worth the stop. I am so appreciative of your brand and the beautiful souls that represent it ❤️ ✨️ I took my sister for a healthy snack she smiled the whole time in satisfaction ❤️ we will definitely be back. Thank you. I will highly recommend them to all who pass by.
Amanda Simmonds - 2 months ago

Walked over after the Brooklyn Museum and it was so delicious. We had two vegan meals (citrus ribs and the stew chicken), a seamoss drink, wheatgrass shot, and patties to go. The patties were so flavorful and flaky. Didn’t get a chance to try the juices or smoothies but that will be next time! Seating available inside and cute backyard space.
Brooke F - a week ago

Though not specifically listed on the menu everything is vegan. Had the "fish" pattie it was amazing. Also ordered the BBQ jerk "chicken" panini which was really good. Only complaint I was charged 3.50 for like 4 small potato wedges fries and the service is a little slow. Also did order a peanut butter smoothie that was good. They have an indoor and outside seating area which was very nice and clean.

Some of the best vegan dishes I've ever had. The flavors, the AROMA. SMACKING. The freshness!!!! I'm in love. As soon as I opened my entree/Ital Stew+Chicken Curry (also gluten free) with side veggies, it looked and smelled amazing. I dont think my picture does it justice but the dish smelled so good I had to eat immediately. Each side dish was fresh and flavorful, and balanced out so well! The vegan chicken is juicy and so well seasoned. Looking forward to dining in next time. They have a beautiful patio in the back with alot of open sky. I got the large platter it was indeed LARGE. I'd say as a vegan, my belly and soul are both finally fed right. I wish this business so much success!

Came to Eve’s for date night and we were not disappointed! The vibe was premium, the service was stellar and the food hit the spot in the best way!!! We happened to be here when they were doing some smooth karaoke and I’m not a singer but the songs definitely had me singing along! A great experience! We are also a hookah living pair and let me tell you - try the Yummy because it was YUMMY! Don’t hesitate to favorite this spot.

My wife and I stumbled upon Eve's Lounge by chance. We were heading to another restaurant which didn't have seating; however, Eve's Lounge was recommended and only a few minutes away. We gave the restaurant a try and it didn't disappoint. We ordered fish and waffles, wings, and a side of mac and cheese. My wife had a mimosa and I had an Adam's Rum Punch. The atmosphere was comfortable and the wait staff was very accomidating. We would definitely visit again.
Kassim Mincy - 2 months ago

Honestly they have something really special going on here! From the food, drinks, to the hookah everything is 5 star! If you’re looking for a place to go after First Saturdays at the BK Museum or just want the full Brunch experience…this is place! Don’t miss out. Did I mention they were Black Owned?…yea.
kemdi opara - in the last week

Good food and even better people. Super friendly service and the place was so clean and spacious which is a rare find in New York. My bartender was Prince and he was real attentive and made a great mimosa. Eve’s Lounge is like an upscale establishment with affordable prices. I only spent $20 on food and $10 for a drink.

Absolutely delicious new Chinese restaurant near Eastern Pkwy - Brooklyn Museum stop. A few of the best dishes to highlight: Szechuan Roast Pork Stir Fry -Sweet & smokey roast pork with a five spice and brown sugar blend is perfect for any meat lovers. Plus, the charred red peppers, onions and jalapeños are yummy! House Special Peking Noodle -Sweet dark soy sauce base with salted pork and ginger to be mixed with noodles. The balance of sweet and salty is perfect and the soy sauce egg was surprisingly delicious too. Salmon Tuna Poke Bowl -Big portion of fresh fish with mild Sriracha and kewpie mayonnaise. The kids really liked this one and finished the whole thing. House Special Fried Rice -Highly underrated! The roast pork again is amazing here, and the shrimp and fried eggs really support the fried rice. The service here was quick and friendly. The ambiance is quiet and good for families and kids. They mostly do take-out and delivery and have some tables inside.
Daniel Alvarez - 2 months ago

This was the best! It's a small, family owned restaurant with super tasty food that's served fresh, hot, and delicious. Also, the portions are really generous, especially given the low prices! I'd come back again for the lunch special in a heartbeat.

Great chinese food. Peking noodles are great. Beef short rib is great. General Tso’s is perfectly crispy — not too hard or soft. Even the brown sugar boba was really good.

This place is across the street from my apartment. Its so good! Generous portions, fresh ingredients, the BBQ spare ribs are excellent and this is coming from someone who doesn't like them normally! It has a very quiet chill atmosphere we enjoyed eating our lunch in the restaurant!
