Our waitress Jasmine was friendly, always kept a smile, and checked on us the right amount of times. Came here a year ago and the food, atmosphere, and customer service has not changed.
5 Stars
They do list a 4% Service Fee, which is fine? It doesn’t go to the servers and isn’t a “tip”. I didn’t even elect my tip as my bill was closed by an unknown and the bartender was upset about it.
It was $18 for 6 “jumbo” wings, your milage may vary.
The TVs are plentiful, and big. But they are fading and can be misallianed.
Overall, 1 dude getting wings and beer … See the pic for the price. (It’s over $50) For me, across the street to any of their competitors is the better move.
Before the game, a friend and I grabbed a table, which meant we were assigned a server. The place was packed, and service was understandably slow. Our server seemed to be covering nearly the entire floor—including both bar sides and the back—which made it feel like the staff wasn’t prepared for the crowd that comes with a big game.
When another friend joined us for a quick drink, we suggested he order directly from the bar. However, bar staff refused, saying they couldn’t take payment since we were seated in a server’s section. Even when we asked to close out and move to the bar, we were told we still had to wait for the server. We ended up ordering just one round and then closing out. I understand the intention of not cutting into server tips, but when service is that slow, it becomes a frustrating experience.
After the game, we returned to let the stadium crowd thin out. This time, service was a bit more attentive—the server checked in more frequently during our shorter visit, which was appreciated.
One thing that stood out on both visits was how hot it felt inside. Before the game, the doors were closed and the space felt stuffy. After the game, the garage-style doors were open, but instead of providing relief, they let in more warm air, making the space uncomfortable either way.
Overall, Tom’s has a fun, energetic vibe and is clearly a popular game-day spot. Just know going in that service may be slow when it’s busy, and the indoor temperature can be less than ideal.
And then there were the drinks… absolutely next level. The lemon drop lavender martini was pure perfection—beautifully crafted with just the right amount of strength and an incredible depth of flavor. Every sip was smooth, refreshing, and expertly balanced, proving that Tom’s takes their cocktail game just as seriously as their food.
What truly impressed me was how seamlessly Tom’s combines high-quality food and elevated cocktails with the fun, energetic vibe of a sports bar. It’s rare to find a place that nails all of it, but Tom’s does—effortlessly. Jake the manager for this shift was beyond attentive! This place didn’t just meet my expectations, it shattered them.
I’ll be back for every football game I possibly can, because Tom’s Bar has officially become my go-to spot for great food, amazing drinks, and an unbeatable game-day atmosphere.
