Tom's Oyster Bar

This is my number 1 place for oysters and their beer battered fish and chips. Their shoestring fries are so good with the fish! They are both must haves with a bloody mary to drink. The outdoor seating in the Summer months is always great for people watching while eating your dinner.

Fat people seating friendly:Yes, though try to avoid being seated at the high tops in the back of the bar area if you won't want to lose circulation in your feet.

We love Tom's.  Food is dependable, beer selection solid, service is better than most and they have a frequent patron program that rewards us.  All good.

I've visited Michigan a few times now, and every time I come to the Royal Oak area I pass by Tom's. The strategic placement of people on the patio and the wafting aroma of delicious fried seafood always made me wish I were a patron. This past weekend, that wish was fulfilled. We sat on the inside and people-watched. There are many beautiful people roaming the streets, and we shall stalk and creep accordingly.

Our waiter was very friendly, flirtatious even. I like ciders over beers, and he recommended a pear cider that was much better than the Woodchuck I usually get (it tasted more like juice. What can I say? I'm a girl and I like girl drinks.) He also recommended the fish tacos, which did not disappoint. They were breaded and fried, and drizzled with tartar sauce, with a side of buttered summer squash. My friend and I got the smaller portion, and each taco was still large enough to be a filling meal.

Good meal and a good view :) I'll be backkkkkk.
