Tom's Tavern (Forest Hills)

First time at Tom’s Tavern…Marci working the bar & tables was amazing! So personal and friendly. Chef Chris made the food and it was fresh and hot! It was so nice to relax, enjoy the atmosphere the music, the entertainment. Seems like everybody in the bar, kind of know each other and they were all hanging out. It was really nice to see that. I will definitely be back.!

So…. I say a hidden treasure! In great location, hidden and lots of parking! Inside is huge like have bday parties, meet-ups, birthdays etc. This place is clean and of course I did the bathroom check, spotless!!!!! The food was great much better than 90 percent of bars! It’s was fresh and he made my tenders from scratch! Big John you did killed it!!! Has a passion for satisfying people and their taste pallets. I was hesitant and he came by talk to me about what I wanted , have craving for, and gave great suggestions. Yes food was 100%. My bestie absolutely says the wings was to die for! Marci the bartender was by far definition of a bartender. Drinks were perfectly portioned. I can’t stand when I ask for my Tito’s with slash of cranberry and lime, then other places brings me a red drink. Smh!!! Loved that she brought my drinks in clean glass. Today too many sports bars and places are serving in plastic cups which are exposed to air chemicals and bacteria, which can be seen. It makes me wonder how long they were in back storage and if storage pets or critters got to it. The people here adults 30 and up and friendly. It is family place just clean, not ghetto, and safe place! Of course two pool tables not scratches!!! Over all yes I plan on returning and recommending! Especially a place where me and my friends can have fun and feel safe!!! Thank you so much! Til next time!!!!

The food was decent for what you would expect. Overall it was a bit too pricey In my opinion. I got mango habanero wings 🥭🌶️ And they were a little too sweet. I also tried the loaded Cajun fries and they were all right for the first couple bites and then kind of got sick of it. I will say the service was phenomenal. She was on top of refilling my water and the atmosphere was nice. And the whole place is pretty clean.

Just down the street from me, I had to try it out early on Sunday. I get the feeling this place can get pretty loud late at night on the weekend. I felt welcome with the little ones (there is even a kid's menu section) in this traditional tavern-esque style establishment. Pretty dark, lots of wood, pool tables, plenty of tvs. Staff was friendly and stopped by frequently to check on us. The wings and fries were certainly good, but the blackened chicken sandwich was top notch. I would come back just for that. Things got a little loud for the kids once the football games started at 1PM, but the crowd was not huge, and I bet it would be a good place to sit back and watch the game with a beer. They have plenty of other sandwiches to choose from (I heard the burgers were excellent), so I will be back.

Just to warn everyone that goes here.Watch your tab after you start drinking. I was there on halloween night and the bartender (Holly) overcharged me ten dollars on both of my bills. I guess she was thinking I was too drunk too realize it. WATCH HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE YOU!! And if you're a pretty female, just don't go in there, the bartender also treated me like crap because of that. Smh

Still on the fence.. I miss Uncle Fatz. Tom's tavern is similar but the taste is different. I feel like I'm not the only one because the place was empty tonight and only one waitress. She's a great waitress but still stretched thin. Buffalo chicken tenders were great, they charge $2 extra on your wings if you order all flaps or all legs, but srill for two people, two dinners, 2 beers and a rum runner, around 50$, which is not bad. I hope they continue to improve. Even the Bleu cheese tastes more like Fatz had, not what to s started with which was more like the normal Ken's flavor.

I was so ready to give this restuarant a 4 star review, until I got my bill. One of my personal pet peeves is being charged for condiments. Want to dip your food in ranch? It's almost $1 extra and you won't be told that. Petty in my opinion. Other than that we had a great experience! The food was very good and the service was very professional. The menu tells you food is made fresh to order so we expected the longer wait times and were ok with that. Lots of TVs to watch and the restaurant was very clean.

Came here on a whim for a Saturday lunch and DAMN were we happy! Excellent wings!!! Good apps and I’d imagine the night life, which we will come back for, is fun too.
