Tom's

"The original Tom’s is an old-school diner in Prospect Heights, and it’s mostly known for its brunch. But at the Coney Island location, you can drink a frozen margarita on a second-story rooftop overlooking the boardwalk. There’s also a big dining room where you can get many different varieties of pancakes or a burger for lunch. The food isn’t anything fancy, but this is a nice place to sit for a few minutes while you eat something with a side of fries, and there’s a small patio out front where you can sit and look out at the beach." - neha talreja, bryan kim, matt tervooren, kenny yang

"Last month it was reported that Coney Island’s boardwalk would be getting a makeover, for the first time in nearly a century. Now, the City reports that restaurants such as Paul’s Daughter, Tom’s Coney Island, and Ruby’s Bar & Grill will likely see rent reductions." - Emma Orlow

"Tom’s Coney Island, located at 1229 Boardwalk, offers a delightful breakfast experience with dishes like Danish or sweet potato pancakes with flavored butters, all enjoyed from their stunning rooftop overlooking the ocean." - Travel + Leisure Editors
