Tom's

I've been going to this place since they opened (my son actually said his first word here). They recently started breakfast again and this sweet potato waffle was so good, I had to clap.
Service was impeccable as well. Go for breakfast ASAP!

Tom’s Coney Island has a lot of potential, but our recent visit left us with mixed feelings. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we waited around 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Unfortunately, it seemed the waitresses were more engaged in a personal conversation with a friend than attending to customers, which was disappointing and definitely impacted our overall experience.
Once we finally got our order in, the food was decent but not amazing. We tried the sweet potatoes — the cheese on top added a nice touch, but the dish overall could use some fine-tuning in flavor and presentation. The real letdown was the piña colada, which was underwhelming and definitely in need of serious improvement; it lacked the balance and creaminess you’d expect from such a classic drink.
On the bright side, the atmosphere was one of the highlights. The location offers a pleasant view, which made the experience a bit more enjoyable despite the service hiccups. It’s a relaxing spot that could be great with more attentive staff and quicker service.
As for the pricing, it wasn’t too bad — fair for the type of place it is. You're not breaking the bank here, but you’re also not getting top-tier quality or service.
In summary, Tom’s Coney Island scores a 3.5 out of 5 for us. The food gets a 3, the service also a 3, and the atmosphere a stronger 4 thanks to the scenic view. With some improvements in customer service and a few tweaks to the menu, this place could become a solid local favorite.

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only.

By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. So as a waterfront business, I wonder how you could help customers create less trash when coming in for a beer or a bite.

Clearly, based on the dish bins you have out, and the real reusable dishes within them, you have some sort of dish dishwashing infrastructure available in the house.

For this, I wonder if you could transition beers into real reusable cups, as you do soda and water (the sturdy blue Pepsi cups). It feels a shame to pour a delicious beer into a trashy flimsy plastic cup that will go to the landfill, incinerator, or ocean.

Thank you for considering how to help your customers better respect the ocean on which this business sits.

We want options to do better by this planet, and we can’t afford to wait longer to solve the plastic pollution crisis that our world faces.

Nicely situated, very slow and inefficient service. Prices are ok for average food.

4 stars for the view, ambiance and reasonable prices. Food is 3 stars max with a menu which is basically A-Z in fried stuff with not a vegetable in sight. The burger is actually great if only they would include a tomato slice and raw onion. Buffalo chick quesadilla again would be decent if it had guac or some red peppers in it. Mozza sticks could not be helped, honestly, so avoid those.
