Tom's Oyster Bar Royal Oak

Great chef! Super customer oriented. This review is for him!

Tom's is a great neighborhood stop for a good meal and drinks. Highly recommend the oysters, trout rillette or salmon pate!!

NEw years eve dinner

Waited over 20 minutes for our reservation.

Excellent food! We reserved a table for New Years and we’re glad to see they actually reserved a table. No wait to be seated. Our waitress was quick and friendly, however she chose not to write our order down and forget a lot of it as a result. We asked twice for water, our soup was served after our entree, and my entree was messed up or mixed up with someone else’s order. If you choose to not write down customers orders, you should be damn sure you’re gonna remember. Overall it was a great dinner and we will certainly be back.

Always great service and food ! Will be back!

The seafood tower was amazing! So fresh and large portion compared to other places. Recommend making reservations because the venue is small and fills up fast. Plus there is a rewards program but it’s not highly publicized so ask your server.

Very good food with great service as usual

I was craving oysters and decided to give Tom’s a go. Being that we are a long way from an ocean I had low expectations but the food was excellent! Loved everything we tried.

Good food and good deal

Food was a bit salty. Salmon was a bit dry. Drink service was very slow

Ryan was our server, and helped make it a very special ladies night out! He recommended specific oysters to try, and let us each sample one. He personally made Spanish Coffee with just a tiny bit of whip for the lactose intolerant diner. Each course was more and more delightful! They were out of asparagus, so they offered my guest Brussels sprouts or broccollini and the sprouts in balsamic were amazing! The lobster bisque had plenty of chunks of lobster, and the lobster roll was delicious!

I always enjoy my visits to Tom's. It's such a comfortable and pleasant place to visit. Our waiter, Brian, was top-notch and the value of the Tuesday surf and turf deal can't be beat!

This was the first time we had been there on a Tuesday and everything was great. I already recommended to a couple of friends. The service, the food, and the specials were exceptional.

Quote expensive for average food

Food was very nice. Regarding the mussels appetizer we ordered, I prefer it to be warm than cold. The mussel shells were kind of cold at most a bit cold than room temperature.

Good overall. A bit crowded

Always a amazing experience . Never disappointed by the food or service

The service was great most of our food was good the only disappointment was the paella there is no flavor to the rice in this dish or seasoning . I would not recommend eating this dish. The appetizers were my highlight.

Dahlia was a phenomenal server happy, attentive, knowledgeable, and patient. Oysters where fresh and delicious. Great evening out.

I like Tom's Oyster bar and have been coming here for decades. I like the energy even though it can get a bit loud. I tried the shrimp scampi and it was just ok. Seemed to have a little bit too much of something and not quite enough of something else. I also had the oyster rockefeller and they are always outstanding. Best in town!

Was just an average experience

Tom’s provides a great experience with simple food prepared well and is accompanied by a great beer list and adequate wines. I am particularly fond of the crab cakes but the food is generally very good. Also, the long term wait staff are outstanding. Tom’s is definitely a go to staple for RO dining. Can’t go wrong here

Food was good, service was fantastic, but we sat at a small table next to a big party and was literally in all their conversations. Loud talkers, baby crying cmon people have some courtesy. Other than that i love this place,

Loving the new Surf & Turf Tuesday’s!!! The Lobster Bisque is also always fantastic as well. The staff rocks.

The food was great like usual but the service was a little bit slow. You are really crammed in sometimes, which makes it a little uncomfortable.

Nice small pub atmosphere with good food

Fresh Seafood

Everything was great. Food, service, price was top notch. We went during Restaurant Week and worked out well. Made reservations with Open Table and our table was ready when we walked in the door. We had over an hour drive and it was worth the trip. We highly recommend.

Incredible food, drinks, and service!!! Our waitress, Kim, was absolutely!!!!! I can’t say enough about her!!!! Will definitely return!!

Me and my husband had a great time at toms oysters the service was great and food definitely will go again we went on sweetest day busy but always had someone checking on us

Loved It! Awesome Dining Experience 😁

Always great service n tasty food!

Tom's is always a great place for seafood. Love the oysters. We stopped after returning from Boston and compared the "Same as Boston" Lobster Rolls. Have to say they are right on par! Get the 2 roll version! Yum

I went for dinner with my wife on a Sunday for our anniversary and they had read the notes I had added to the reservation about being close to the front window and the hostess and manager said congratulations to us when we got there, such a nice touch! We had the cold array of appetizers, like we always do, and it was amazing! We split Prosecco and a bottle of Chardonnay and my wife had the lobster roll and I had the lobster tails. Everything was timely, delicious, and perfect. The ambiance was comfortable and quiet but not too quiet as the windows were open and we were near the street traffic. The bar is close by too but not too loud. Thank you for a great dinner and anniversary and hope to come back here soon!

Awesome food and service. The Sur and Turf was amazing.

Service was slow. ordered a glass of wine and beer took over 15 min to get it. Food wasn’t up to par. Wouldn’t recommend going.

Everything was absolutely perfect...except the seats. They were so uncomfortable!! It won’t stop me from going, but I won’t sit in those short wooden chairs the next time.

Food wasn’t seasoned & over priced .!

Everything was fresh, waitress was very pleasant. Excellent experience
