Tom's Oyster - Saint Clair Shores

Tom's Oyster bar has been on my to-try list for years, and I finally made it there yesterday! We had a reservation at 6:30 (we made the reservation a few hours beforehand) and we were able to be seated right away. We ate on the patio, which is a small area between the sidewalk and the street, which is a bit loud, but great for people watching and enjoying the weather. The menu is only front and back, but they have a lot packed on there! We asked our waitress for some recommendations, and everything she mentioned sounded amazing. For my meal, I ended up starting with oysters. I chose the blue point, chesapeake, and the malpeque--all were very good! And for my main, I had the lobster roll which was fresh and flavorful. I had a great time here! Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable, the food was tasty, the prices were fair, and the atmosphere was nice and welcoming. With such an expansive menu, we'll definitely have to come back to try something new!

We've been to this place several times so this review encompass our many visits. The ambiance is loud. This isn't some place I would take a date or for a romantic dinner. We've sat at pretty much every table and it isn't any quieter anywhere. Now you could sit in the front window which is somewhat better. That way you won't have drunk patrons at the bar bumping you in the back of your head with their butts. The food is pretty good. Oysters and lobster corn dogs and lobster bisque are a must. They had really good chicken piccata. I didn't see it on the menu this last time though. Their Power grain salad I enjoyed as well. This last time, I had the crab cakes with mashed potatoes, sweet corn relish and a side of balsamic Brussel sprouts. All was very good. The only issue I had, is the crab cakes were over cooked and had a slight burnt taste to them. Our server, Kim was a delight and made some great suggestions and was always attentive, even with the chaos of the numerous people who were there that evening. I would say this is a better place for a lunch date rather than for dinner. Plus, it's much less expensive at lunch as well.

Food and service always amazing and delicious. Oysters always fresh and great quality. Service is always friendly and welcoming. It's like you've known everyone for years. Always clean even the kitchen. We never pay much attention to pricing, everything ordered is always good so prices really don't matter.

We arrived there being the first ones in there so we were able to sit down immediately. We'd ordered a couple of drinks and some appetizers which was the lobster egg rolls and oyster Rockefeller. Didn't take long at all! Everything tasted fresh. It restaurant was very clean. Our waiter was very polite thanks Danielle . One of my favorite seafood places. Highly recommend

After hearing mixed reviews on this restaurant I decided to give it a try myself. The restaurant is small on the inside with some outdoor seating. Once seated our very kind waitress Kim quickly took down our drink orders and food. The drinks were not very good and tasted watered down. I tried the clam chowder and it was very good lots of flavor. Then came my lobster roll. It was not good at all. It tasted like imitation lobster with mayo. No flavor at all! Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing because my friends enjoyed their food. I will come back because I do want to try other things on the menu.
