Tom's Steak House

"First time here will probably go back but for the price some changes should be made. Very dated atmosphere, bread basket was horrible like i was a cheap family restaurant, the salad was just a bowl of lettuce no other vegetables unless you want to pay extra, dressing was ok but your stuck with the 3 they give you. Ordered the prime rib it tasted good but way too much fat to meat ratio there was barely any meat to eat and i wasn't in the mood to send it back.Our server was nice and the staff seemed attentive. Vegetables don't cost much to add to Salad or even be part of your meal on the side for what you pay for."

"Had reservations for a Saturday night, the place was PACKED. The Server said they weren't expecting the volume they had and were short staffed. She made up for it. Hustled, the entire staff was hustling. The food was excellent, steak was perfection. All phases of the meal were on point. Give this vintage restaurant a try. There's a reason it's still there after all these years."

"Tom's Steak House, located in Chicago's West Suburban city, Melrose Park, has been in the neighborhood since 1952. They're known for the steaks and seafood. Although it's in Melrose Park, it has the classic Chicago steak house vibe. Today was my first time visiting amongst friends. The entry and dining space is very welcoming. By the way, if you are looking to plan a private event, there is a really large event space at the main entry. We started the gathering with drinks, Saganaki that's lighted table-side, and the most amazing soup of the day which was Chicken and Rice. I could have dined on both of those all day! From my understanding, all the meats and seafood are charbroiled. As I had a lot of red meat and seafood earlier in the week, I decided to taste the bbq ribs. Anywhere I go, I do my best to get the ribs without the sauce, so that I can taste the flavor behind it. These were baby back and it seemed like there was a lot of black pepper, salt and garlic powder - nothing additional like brown sugar, cajun seasoning, or chili powder. In this case the bbq sauce was definitely helpful. It was very tangy and delicious. Now that I've tried it, the next time I visit and get the ribs again, I'll taste it while the sauce is baked on. A few of my friends dined on Tom's Steak House burger and prime rib. They all had good things to say. No complaints. I was too full to eat dessert at the restaurant, but I brought home a slice of the carrot cake. Wow, that was super amazing. It was a very decent portion, but I could have easily and greedily eaten two slices! I would give Tom's Steak House 4 out of 5 stars. I would like to see a few more cuts of beef and seafood in the entree selection. Tom's has ample parking and accepts online reservations."

"Have passed this restaurant for years while working in Melrose Park. Always wondering about the food and service. My daughters treated me to dinner celebrating my 70th birthday. What a coincidence, as they were celebrating their 70th anniversary. The food was superb as well as the service. They handled a party of twelve with ease. Best birthday ever."
