Old school diner with great selection of pancakes, 11 different ones, and sandwiches. Great service in a no frills place is always a treat. Bring cash or hit the ATM inside as no credit cards, which good for them, keep the money in the restaurant!!

My second time in, after a disappointing first time I figured I'd give it another try. No wait this time, despite the holiday. Like last time, the staff were very friendly and the vibe was old school. Unfortunately, like last time, the food was inconsistent, with an eggs Benedict that somehow managed the double whammy of being both cold and overcooked solid. The cheesy grits were just bog standard grits with two slices of American cheese slapped on top. On the plus side, the coffee was decent and filled again one during the meal, the bacon was crisp and plentiful, and the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Stumped for the cinnamon roll on the recommendation of a friend, and it came with a couple of different compound butter which were good too.

First time visiting here. I'm from the bronx but came to Brooklyn to see family. So I stopped in here with my aunt for some breakfast. The service was good and we were greeted by everyone in the restaurant. The food came out pretty quick. The pancakes were the best I've had at an establishment in a very long time, they were soft and very flavorful. I ordered. Pancakes, eggs, bacon and Grits. When I got my grits as they came out last they had hair in it. That kind of messed up the whole meal. They took it off the bill but you have to pay attention when you are cooking and presenting food in a restaurant.

What a fantastic experience! Breakfast at Tom's was so amazing that we couldn't resist going back the next morning. It's a classic diner, straight out of an '80s TV show. Walking in feels like a time warp. The food perfectly complements that retro vibe – simple yet top-notch. You'll feel like you're indulging in the same pancakes and eggs as those iconic actors did decades ago. It's a joy-filled meal that sets the tone for a happy day ahead. A true gem in Manhattan!

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.

Great brunch. Delicious choice on brunch menu. Good service as well! Loved the Salmon Hash and poached eggs!

Ordered food from here a few times. Most recently there was a menu mix up and the staff was super friendly and quick with fixing the mistake and refunding me. Food has always been yummy! No complains and might even start dining in since it has a pretty cozy atmosphere (at least I can speak for week day time). French toast and bacon was probably my favorite!

This a fantastic establishment! I came with brunch/lunch with my mom. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and overall went above and beyond in their service. I had the pancakes with sausages and they were both sensational. My mother, who is pescatarian, had the portobello burger with fries and she enjoy every bite. I absolutely will be coming back in the future!

Great place to eat. If you are considering it go. Plenty of vegetarian options that are even better than other only vegetarian places. Mac and cheese and vegetarian chilli were incredible. Jerk wings were really really good a unique flavor with a touch of sweetness and tender.

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 😋

The Lincoln Station is a wonderful neighborhood cafe located in Brooklyn, New York and one that has been open and proudly serving customers for over a decade. It offers guests a wide selection of freshly made cookies, cakes, delicious salads and sandwiches and beverages ranging from beer, coffee, soda, and wine. In February of 2019, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at the Lincoln Station and we loved our dining experience!!! We were warmly welcomed and treated very well by the restaurant’s staff and we enjoyed our meals. Both my wife and I found our sandwich meals to be well cooked, seasoned and delightfully delicious!!! What guests will also love about the Lincoln Station is its location. The cafe is very close to many of Brooklyn’s prominent attractions, ranging from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. When visiting Brooklyn, my wife and I highly recommend that you visit and dine at the Lincoln Station!!! You’ll very much enjoy their service and menu options!!!

This review is about sustainability only! 😌 I really love this coffee shop, as it is a warm and welcoming environment. But I was disheartened to see how much single use plastic was being used by patrons who were enjoying their meal at the shop, for here. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastics are made from fossil fuels, and leach chemicals into humans, wildlife, and our ecosystems alike. Each one and the same. Brooklyn is a waterfront city, and it is a shame that so many local establishments contribute to its local plastic pollution crisis, not to mention the global crisis at large. I think it is wonderful that you indeed have real mugs that you offer, signage by the bins, and even compostable cutlery. But it seems like over half of your patrons, have no idea that they can order their meal to stay. And of course, just because utensils are compostable doesn’t mean they get composted, especially when there is no actual Compost receptacle. Off to the landfill! Perhaps your barista’s could ask more explicitly, if customers will be enjoying their meal to stay. They could even say, would you like your coffee and a reusable mug to stay. You could even feature customers on social media who are enjoying their meal more sustainably.. Unfortunately, we are not going to see much on the policy front regarding the mitigation of plastic use and consumption. So it is up to our local vendors to help patrons do better by this planet. Thank you for your consideration to put up more signage or ask your customers more explicitly what they want.

I have gotten 4 sandwiches here: (1) Egg Sandwich - one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the neighborhood *when it is cooked as advertised (menu says sunny side up, but I find more often that the eggs are cooked hard and I am disappointed everytime); (2) Meatball - no notes, delicious as hell and bought this every week for a few months; (3) Rotisserie Chicken - nothing notable for me, kinda dry; (4) Avocado Egg Sandwich - nothing notable, I’d prefer different bread. Do NOT get the Chai Latte. Coffee is okay of what I remember, I prefer Most High on Washington though. Nice space to work though it gets fairly busy. I appreciate that they turn off the WiFi during lunch hours (12-2p).

Not to sound dramatic or anything but I think I had a spiritual experience with the broccoli ricotta ciabatta sandwich. Unreal. Changed my perspective about sandwiches. Whoever was cheffin it up this Saturday: congrats for being awesome! Good vibes in there too. Plus oodles of outdoor seating.

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).

A major shout out to whoever’s funk/disco mix that was. Grilled shrimp and grits were a 3/5: rubbery and overcooked shrimp, but decent buttery grits. I did request a side of seasoning, but that’s really more a reflection of how much i love old bay than the dish itself if we’re really getting down to it Cinnamon donut waffle was a 5/5: super sweet and exactly what it sounds like

Visited Shane's on son's suggestion on Monday 12/30. The hostess was fantastic and staff pleasant. However, $69 (with 15% tip) for breakfast is expensive. I ordered the big breakfast and coffee (with cheddar added to the eggs, which was almost undetectable in sight or taste. Food was served lukewarm and the waffle barely that. Not only that the waffle wasn't soft. I did not eat it. My biggest issue was the price vs portion size. I must note that the FANTASTIC hostess satisfactorily explained the selection and lack of a full sized waffle. She also offered to remake the 1/2 waffle, but I declined. Other items being served looked good, specifically the fried fish and grit options, which looked plentiful and are less expensive (circa $17). I do plan to give the place another chance as the staff was very nice. But I am wiser to the big breakfast choice.
Jeffrey Coaxum - 4 months ago

We had the Fried Whiting and Grits. Very tasty. The Fried Chicken and Cinnamon Donut Waffles were really tasty. Probably don't need syrup unless you have a real sweet tooth. The chicken was overcooked, but we'll charge it to the game this time. Probably just a bad batch. It happens, I get it. Hopefully it's not a pattern.
James Ravenell - 2 months ago

Amazing pancakes, I love this place for a nice hearty breakfast! I ordered the deluxe breakfast that comes with your choice of meat, pancakes waffles or French toast, grits, and eggs. Delicious!!! The grits weren’t my favorite so next time I’ll probably swap those for fruit or something.

It's unfortunate that I've rated this Black Owned Brunch establishment this low, especially since we hadn't patronized this restaurant prior. The food was great. I'm sooooo disappointed with the service we received. Instead of bashing, I hope this reaches those it should and that it would be received as constructive criticism. We were warmly greeted when we entered. It wasn't crowded. The atmosphere felt nostalgic, clean, and compartmentalized (the entryway, hostess area, the bar, the 1st dining section, down a small staircase, and then another dining area, which had 2 sides. We were ushered to the very rear. Nearly 10 mins before the waiter greeted our table. Her 1st visit, we weren't ready to order beyond beverages, water came to the table thereafter. About the 20 min mark, another staff (unsure if it was a waitress) who came to check on us citing our server was busy. It was busy, and we witnessed the surrounding tables seated and some that had even finished dining while we waited. Our orders went in on her 2nd visit, then our drinks came but they weren't ours actually. My son sipped his apple juice so they let him keep it. We waited some more. An hour; that's the total wait time before our food reached us! All of the surrounding tables were served before ours. Two specifically just about walked in and was tended to within 15 mins, and their meals received 10-15 mins after that. Unacceptable. We checked in at the ½ hour mark and was told our orders got mixed up, and by then we received the correct drinks. How?? Mixed up with whom?? And for how long?? Had the right mind to get up and leave but gave them a chance. Wasn't rude or anything, just highly disappointed trying to make sense of the dilemma. As a courtesy, they offered 15% off the bill, then turned around and added 15% later down the bill. I questioned it. They reduced it again, slightly. Please see the difference pictured. Left her nearly 15% tip anyhow and politely gave a heads up about my pending review that I was asked to reconsider. No, thank you, though I'll give them another chance at a later date.

Went here on a rainy day with a hangover looking for a good soup. I had the pork pho bo which was amazing. Also had the shrimp rolls. Overall excelent experience. Good food served by good people. I will surely come back here again👍

What a meal! After a bowl of my grilled pork pho, I was ready to go to bed! So filling and flavorful! The young lady that took my order was such a sweetheart! She was very attentive and welcoming. She really added to the restaurant's experience! My only con is a place like this deserves a bigger space, it's a small spot. Definitely will be back!

Delicious banh mi at a great price. I had the classic sandwich, and it was packed and tasty. I will say that the medium spice level was mild, so when they ask what spice level you want, I'd go a level up. Also had a tasty hot Vietnamese coffee - solid, but not mind-blowing. Three small tables and three stools with counter service make it toght in there. There is brisk pick-up and delivery business. It felt like there was a mini-army behind the counter, cranking out the sandwiches and drinks, but each and every person was nice and friendly!
Lisa Williams - a month ago

I had the tofu pho and vegetarian fish and let me tell you, it was delicious! You can taste all the flavors, the broth is delicious. The vegetarian fish flavor and texture is something else. Shoutout to the lemonade with lime! Really good! I’ll be back for sure! Vegan options! Edit: went back for the banh mi and the sandwiches were extremely disappointing.

One of my favorite places for comfort food. Mexican restaurants run by Chinese people are somewhat of a NY staple for an affordable, tasty take on Mexican cuisine. I gave it 3 stars for atmosphere which is how you know it’s authentic lol
Thierry Casias - 2 weeks ago

This may be the restaurant I frequent the most. Their food is nothing fancy but wholesome and tasty. It can get a little too hot in the summer to eat in (or cold if particularly nasty out). The people are kind and caring, if I'm having a rough day and just hold up a couple of fingers they know my order and it's ready super fast. I'm often there twice a week.

Much better than the reviews say. Tasty fresh homemade tortillas, fast, friendly service, great price.

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

Love this place! Amazing food, patties and juice. Everything is homemade and seasoned to perfection. Prices are reasonable and the back patio is nice for a sunny day. Loved the jerk chick’n with Mac and cheese bowl, as well as the flaky and juicy patties 🧡 will be back for sure

Great food and great service! As a vegetarian, it’s not often you find Caribbean food options. The portions are big, too.

Ordered food to go and I received it in no time. The patties are the greatest thing to hit this part of Brooklyn😂😋. I ordered about 5 of them. Jonathan Archie Realtor

It's great to have a Jamaican vegetarian restaurant in the neighborhood. Good portions and the food is well seasoned! They also sell desserts (which are also vegetarian). It's perfect for someone like myself who often craves something sweet after a meal, lol. Please try their smoothie & juice options. You won't be disappointed 💛

My partner and I had a wonderful experience. The juice was potent, and the service was delightful. The vibes and the atmosphere are good. They have outdoor seating. You can tell the people that make the food have high vibrations.

I visited on a a Friday evening after work. Big up to our server Samantha. Your service was impeccable. The drinks were strong and worth the cost. The food was tasty and well seasoned. We were not disappointed.

Today was my first time at Eve’s. I stopped here on a whim, just enjoying a beautiful Friday evening. My waitress Samantha was very warm and welcoming, very friendly. My boyfriend and I had some wine and the spring rolls, which were good. The restaurant is on an avenue that is homey, but energetic. Eclectic vibes. We sat outside and had a great time. I’m definitely returning during the summer.

Lovely People, Food is Amazing! Very Flavorful! We were supposed to go to another spot but the wait time was too long. We ended up here by chance and we do not regret it at all. Highly recommend.

I stumbled upon this spot after visiting the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens during a family day with my cousin. I ordered the fish and waffles, something I'd never tried before, and it was absolutely extraordinary. Highly recommend - good people, good service, and good food. Sitting outside on a beautiful spring day made the experience even better. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Amon Focus - 2 weeks ago

Great vibe. The music was bumping, and the food was solid. The server Samantha was very attentive and sweet. I had a great time. I would recommend it for brunch and taking Mom out for Mother's Day.

Food truck in front of Brooklyn museum was a miss. Sadly I wanted to love it since it's vegan, but we paid $35 for one really small sandwich and 1 fruity drink. Time wait was over 15min wait for one sandwich at a food truck is not convenient neither a good deal. Wishing the team luck and improvements in their practices.

The Red Lobster roll, Volcano roll and Dancing Eel sushi rolls were great! Especially on a hot summer day the sushi was refreshing to have to cool off. Fish and sushi rice was fresh. Location was great , restaurant near Brooklyn art museum and Brooklyn Botanical garden. I am becoming a regular here.

Called in to order some delivery and food came hot in 25 minutes! Had the orange chicken, lo mein, and pork buns! (I have also tried sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, soup dumplings, and scallion pancakes in the past!). The food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious!! Each order also comes with a free soda and a fortune cookie :) Classic Chinese takeout prices but with higher quality ingredients! It is definitely our new go to Chinese delivery!
Anna Hart - a month ago

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.

I did a carry out order and was pleasantly surprised. This place is newer so I thought I would give them a try. Im happy to say they had some of the better Chinese American takeout in this area of crown heights/prospect heights which tend to be subpar. If you want actually decent Chinese American this place hits the spot. Haven’t tried their other Asian dishes like sushi or poke yet but if it’s as decent as their Chinese food it must be worth it to try. Prices are a little higher than other comparable restaurants but the quality/flavor seems better and portions are reasonable in my opinion. This review is totally based on the food. Did not experience the full service or atmosphere of the restaurant.

EDIT: Came back here today and was severely disappointed. Seems the recipes have changed since they opened. The mapo tofu I ordered was NOT the one I was so excited about when I first came here. It was incredibly bland and had zero meat. Worst mapo I have ever eaten bar none. 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.
