   My family ate here last night. The food was outstanding all around, the service was great. The atmosphere was awesome. This is our favorite place to eat, or just have drinks.

   Good. Asked for medium well done and steak was rather rare. Sent it back and still came out way too rare. Otherwise good

   First off, the staff is very nice and engaged. What we thought was crazy was that we had a 630pm reservation, yes, on a Saturday night, so we knew to get there a few minutes early as we might have to wait a little. A little turned into about 35 minutes of waiting. We saw customers leaving several times but nope those tables were not for us, there was no one else waiting. Mind you, I booked on OT a standard table, not a high top. Finally, after 35 minutes of waiting we were seated, again the hostess was so nice and apologetic, and we were given a high top table, not wanting to wait any longer, we took the table. We just didn’t understand why this was the only two-top table when other customers were leaving the restaurant. I could see if it was later and servers start to get cut but this was early in the evening. Onto the food. The appetizers were very good - we had the sticky ribs and the coconut shrimp, so tasty. Next for our entree, my husband had the ribeye, which he said was salty but he said he loved it. I ordered the steak tips. Four huge steak tips were served but I kept looking for that char, the flavor, the seasoning, it was barely there. You know when beef starts to turn grey, that’s what I felt I was given but not to even have salt and pepper on the tips, and maybe there was but it was just very blah. I ate two tips and brought the other two home to doctor up. We did not get dessert because we just didn’t want to have something sweet at that point in the evening, had we been sat at our original reservation time we might of ordered dessert. Will we be back, yes. There are other items on the menu I’d like to try. My husband was happy so that made me happy because he is a little fussy when it comes to food. Thank you to the nice hostesses and the service was great!

   Hello We'd like to apologize for your wait last Saturday. We were trying our best to get you a low table but it proved to be difficult on such a busy night. We only have 14 tables, approximately half lower tables, half high tops. Most of the lower tables can accommodate larger parties and we have to plan our seating arrangements around that during peak times. We do hope you try us again. We find that it is easier to honor seating requests earlier (5pm) or later (8pm) in the evening. Always feel free to jot down a request while making the reservation, standard seating defaults to first available. Thank you!

   Expected better, food was ok. When they first opened the food was outstanding, now not so outstanding.

   Hi Karen, We are sorry that you were disappointed. If we had known you were unhappy with your food or service during your visit we would have done our best to fix it. We still use the same recipes for our Egg Rolls and Steak Tips as we did when we first opened. Apologies, Joanne

   We had a reservation, we were promptly seated. Our server, Laura, introduced herself and took my drink order. My Husband loves differnt beers. She was sure to make sugestions and even offered him a sample. When it came to ordering dinner she was very patient with us letting us take our time enjoying our drinks and our appetizer. The jalopeno poppers are soooo good. I wanted to order the Sea Food Casserole, which was a special for the night. Unfortunely, it had been sold out. Laura helped both me and my husband pick out our meals. Sorry no pictures. Both were delious. Thier steaks are all amazing !

   We waited for over and hour for burgers. They were just ok. Not worth it. We just wanted to try. Not again. I think they need more staff on a Friday.

   Hi Bryan, We are sorry that your meals (2 burgers, 1 medium, 1 well done) took so long however, as your server explained last night, it was human error. Unfortunately mistakes do happen and Renee simply neglected to send the order to the kitchen. As soon as she realized, she let management know and the kitchen prioritized the order. Renee maintained communication with you throughout the evening, taking full blame. We understand that your visit was not ideal but you did seem very understanding and forgiving last night so we did not expect this review. We wish you expressed your frustration during you visit. Please accept out apologies. Thank you.

   Our first time there…. Food was excellent, service was superb. Ashley was our waitress and she made our dinner experience even better than expected. Tavern style restaurant. Very casual atmosphere. We enjoyed our evening and will be going back very soon !!!

    I would highly recommend going to the Tomahawk Tavern for great food and excellent service Ashley was my server she had my drinks at my table promptly she went over the dinner specials with me and gave me plenty of time to decide on what I wanted I got the teriyaki steak tips and they were delicious! Ashley kept checking with me to see if everything was good and if I needed anything else she has an awesome personality and made my dining experience very enjoyable she is my favorite server at the Tomahawk Tavern
