Came here on Valentine's Day and had a nice time! Despite the snow, parking was still a breeze and the restaurant was hopping! Loved my drink, saganaki, and Queen-cut filet! Highly recommend this restaurant--it has a charming nostalgic feel to it.

Classic Chicago steakhouse that's been doing it for over 70 years. Maybe not as flashy as some others but has its own unique ambiance and decor. A little dated?? Perhaps but when something isn't broke why fix it personally I'm a fan of time capsules. Good strong drinks and a great staff. Food is always cooked to our liking and delicious. Try them out they won't disappoint

Best tenderloin I have ever had in my 65 years. You could almost cut it with a fork. The Whiskey Old Fashion was superb. What a wonderful place. I'll be back.

Ambiance- Great old school vibe. 50's-60's time capsule. Cool bar. Service was solid. Server was attentive Food- was solid. Comes out on carts and served from there. Good value with salad and potato with the steaks. Drinks were made well. Steak- was ok. Great char and served with au jus. Definitely a tougher steak quality. I would prefer to pay a few bucks more to get a higher grade of meat or lower the current price on what it is now. My NY Strip, while tasty.. had a lot of chew to it.

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.
