"Tom's remains a community restaurant at heart, sustaining multiple generations of families on mammoth platters of fluffy lemon-ricotta pancakes rife with citrus tang and served with a trio of flavored butters."

Lisa Selin Davis

"Try the harvest pancakes with corn and cranberries."

AnneLise Sorensen

"You can’t go wrong with any of the pancakes."

John Del Signore

"Done right, lemon ricotta pancakes unfold in your mouth like cherub's wings dipped in tart ambrosia."

Carey Jones

"Lemon-ricotta pancakes have been the best of Tom's pancake list, in our experience (then again, we love lemon-ricotta pancakes). They're soft and creamy inside but don't seem undercooked, with golden-brown exteriors and a great lemon hit."

Patty Lee

"Not much changes at the perfect pre–Brooklyn Museum eatery, Tom’s: The lemon-ricotta pancakes slathered in a medley of butters are still heavenly."

Dan Gentile

"Silver dollars, mango walnut, and sweet potato round out a surprisingly elaborate pancake menu that is perhaps the best you could spend before noon."

Gena Wolfson

"Their out of control Ricotta-Lemon Pancakes are a must order."

Lambeth Hochwald

"Helping give Brooklyn the title of best pancakes in New York City, Tom’s is a popular joint with many locals claiming the pancakes are not only the best in the city, but also the best on the planet."

Kiley Edgley

"After several visits, the pancakes have proven to be the most spectacular item. Each of the 10+ flavors is indeed fluffy and absurdly delicious."
