Tom's Watch Bar — Restaurant in Houston

Anya was the best on a game day! Tom’s Watch Bar is the best!

Edit 3/21: I never really post review, especially not bad ones as I believe people can have off-days and stuff happens so why would I try to damage their business for one bad night. However, I need to talk about my experience at Tom’s Watch Bar. My boyfriend and I have been to Tom’s more than a handful of times to grab drinks, watch sports, or just enjoy the fun atmosphere. It’s always been reasonably priced and good drinks/food, so it was our go-to place to watch a game. This will be long and I have never written a review like this but PLEASE READ THIS.

We went to Toms to watch the Texans play on a Saturday with my boyfriend’s coworkers. We got there around 2/3pm and stayed until around 7/8 pm. We also got drinks as well as dinner while we were there. As we were leaving, we checked out and I (stupidly) did not get a receipt. While we were drinking, I am usually pretty aware of our spending and would have noticed if I signed a receipt of over $250. BUT the next day my boyfriend looked at his bank account and noticed a $450 CHARGE from Toms. We thought maybe his friend’s food/drink was put on our ticket, but after asking we realized that this was our total for THE TWO OF US. Again, we did not have a receipt so we couldn’t prove whether we did or didn’t have that much to drink/eat but it seemed pretty absurd. We let it go though.

Fast forward to a few weekends ago, my parents came to visit and we went to Toms to watch college basketball on St Patrick’s Day weekend. We were there for a few hours, got some appetizers and a few drinks each. As we were checking out, I specifically asked the waiter to show me the charges on our ticket so I could make sure they were correct, and they were. Our total for the FOUR OF US was around $250 and I left a 20% tip (my dad charged his card). I specifically remember it being this amount because we all joked that me and my boyfriend had apparently previously spent twice that amount during a weekend during football season. Fast forward to today and my dad calls me to tell me that he had a total charge from Toms Watch Bar of $431. This was NOT the amount of our original ticket. We luckily saved this receipt and he is in the process of finding it so he can dispute this charge to his bank.

BUT I want everyone to please be aware of how much you are being charged and MAKE SURE you check your bank account to ensure it matches your receipt. The first time was one thing but twice is crazy. Something weird is going on and I will not be back. Tom’s lost some loyal...

Restaurant Review: Tom's Watch Bar

From the moment we stepped into Toms Watch Bar, I knew I was in for something special. Nestled on a quiet street corner of DT Houston the ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and refined — natural lighting, industrial feel and soft pop/popular playlist music that never overpowers conversation. Love the Inside-Outside layout of the place. So nice.

The service was impeccable. Our server Ari was attentive without being intrusive, offering excellent recommendations and sharing just the right amount of detail about the menu. Sam makes you feel just apart of the Tom's family.

Now, the food: absolutely phenomenal. Main course, All American Burger with fresh trimings, which was cooked to a tender medium-well, Birria Tacos with cheese and chips on the side so flavorful! I chose the house-made Prime Rib Dip — a melt-in-your-mouth experience that left us both speechless.

Drinks were an added treat the lavender lemon drop was delish. The subtle hibiscus floral note & Watermelon Redbull elevated a classic Tom's Rita into something truly memorable.

Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared, and nothing was rushed. It's clear the chef here cooks with both skill and heart. Tom's isn't just a restaurant — it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating or just craving a perfect meal, this place delivers. Did I mention it's a SPORTS FAN HEAVEN?!? Ever DT Houston check them out.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tom’s Watch Bar, and the experience was truly elevated by our exceptional waiter, Raylon. From the moment we were seated, Raylon provided attentive, friendly, and service that made our evening truly memorable. Raylon was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The recommendations they provided were spot on, helping us choose dishes that perfectly suited our tastes. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they took the time to explain each dish in detail, which added to our anticipation and enjoyment. What truly stood out, however, was [Waiter's Name]'s warm and welcoming demeanor. They made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant, taking a genuine interest in our evening and ensuring that everything was to our liking. Their professionalism and courtesy were evident in every interaction, and they handled even the smallest requests with a smile. Overall, Raylon was a credit to Tom’s. His dedication to providing exceptional service is evident in every aspect of his work, and he truly made our dining experience unforgettable.
