Have been going to this place for quite a while now, and last time we went, the prices have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, the portions of food have also decreased. I would not be surprised to see a price increase as most places have had to increase the prices due to food costs increasing, but also reducing the portion size is a bit much. Luckily, the quality is still very good.
Love this place, it's cozy atmosphere, great service, and very good food. I have enjoyed the meals, steak is grilled perfect, Cesare salad has a nice lemon zip to it and is fresh, the burger is delicious. Since I found this place I have been back about 5 times now and look forward to my next visit!
Loved the ambiance , the ability to talk with friends ,the cozy fire place ,prompt service, friendly staff & no rush, the washrooms,are accessible with grab bars & clean! but need a ramp for walkers &:wheelchairs if truly accessible inside. Overall a great place
I'm staying at the hotel for a few days and love that when I'm back to the hotel I can slip down for a drink and a bite to eat. Tom's Place offers great pub food and the staff are true gems. They remember faces and stories. They made me feel so welcome and at home. Thank you Jeff and Danielle for making my meals so enjoyable.
Dined in with friend's and had the large English battered Fish and Chips. Portion of fries was small and the fish looked and tasted like fish sticks. The tartar sauce was watery and price of the meal was a bit high. Service was good as was the ambience. Seemed like a nice place for a drink but not dinner.
I love this place. The atmosphere is amazing. With the fireplace. Great food and service. My husband and I went there tonight to re-create our first date. Happily married for 18 years. On the way out we were happy to talk to Fred. He was at the Hotel reception counter. Fred was awesome as well. This place rocks I recommended to anyone. PS I loved the Riesling Mary and Wayne
What a unique location in Kingston, a wood lodge theme restaurant in the hotel. Had Rubens smoke meat sandwiche. With a chicken noodle soup, it was so tasty and delicious. And my girlfriend had a 2 piece Fish and Chips. Everything was well cooked and hot when served. All in all a great night. Thank you Hunter for the great service!!!
Four of us met for dinner and drinks on the patio and we had a great time. Our server was very friendly , helpful and a great person to deal with. The food was great and a fair price.
So cute, good food, had many amazing chats with the staff. Overall just nice people and a nice atmosphere with yummy pub food
Awesome place good food, super comfortable seating. Friendly accommodating staff.... You should go
Very good service and food. Cozy atmosphere with reasonable prices. Definitely will be back!
Place is amazing!!!service is awesome!!The food is delicious!! Try the prime rib sandwich!! My God!!!
The ambiance of the restaurant exudes a serene charm, creating a delightful atmosphere that invites you to relax and indulge. The culinary offerings are nothing short of extraordinary, tantalizing your taste buds with a symphony of flavors that promise to leave a lasting impression.
Food, well, standard. Nice service and nice atmosphere
Simply one of the best spots in Kingston to unwind and have a nice steak. The rib eye doesnt come cheap, nor should it. Consistently grilled to perfection, very flavourful. Special shout out to Michelle who delivers genuine and attentive service - thank you.
Food and service was excellent! Highly recommend!
Food, service and atmosphere are great but prices are out of control. Lunch items (sandwiches, burgers etc.. are 20% to 30% higher than comparable restaurants in Kingston.
My wife and I happened upon Toms Place while looking for a nice lunch spot to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We saw they served escargot and bruscchetta and we were not disappointed, and they had a good selection of wine and beer, though the beer taps were not functioning at that time. We loved the decor, seating arrangements and overall atmosphere. We will certainly look this place up again the next time we come to town. And thanks to Kate for such wonderful service, she was a princess.
Excellent place!
Our absolute fav place to eat, drink and relax after a long work day. Amazing atmosphere, cozy and romantic.
We have been going to Toms place for a few years now and found the nachos to be our favorite snack. This past Monday, we went there again for my wifes birthday to enjoy our nachos. Big surprise! First, it went up from $23.95 to $33.95 and the included guacamole wasnt included anymore, it was $4.95 extra now. To top this up, the cheese on the nachos was less than one quarter of what it used to be. It was the worst nachos that we have ever had. Awful nachos and awful prices. Never going back.
The food is good and the service excellent. The place is a bit dark specially during the day but that is what they are going for with the Canadiana decoration.
Good service. Helpful waitress. Food was so so. Every table space was too small.
Loved the Burger and especially the Caesars Salad, probably one of the best Ive had so far. Service was excellent.
What a corky place super fun
Food can be better. Overall service was decent nothing special.
Sorry needs a refresh
Parking: Shared lot with the Best Western Hotel Food
Waitress where experienced
We celebrated our Mom s birthday at Tom s Place last night. We had top notch service. Joanne never missed a beat! Food was excellent! Drinks were flowing! Candles on the birthday cake, fabulous birthday song! Great ambiance, lovely fireplace! Great patrons! We had the pleasure of meeting Dave & Janet! They made our birthday party one that we will never forget. Mind blowing! Forever grateful! Paying it forward! Staff are always smiling! Family stayed at the Best Western. They loved their room, especially the fireplace there too! Lots of parking for everyone. No wonder it is our Mom s favourite spot! Thank you!
Love this hideaway for drinks appetizers and great atmosphere
Rainy day gals date. KATE made our lunch date superb. Fire was warm and ambiance was awesome. Food, and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend going to see Kate at Tom s Place. You will not be disappointed (fire is a real wood fire) not electric or propane. Soooo nice on a damp cool Winter day
Magnificent restaurant, very well decorated with a good atmosphere. The servers are friendly, smiling and very welcoming. A wide choice of starters, dishes and desserts on the menu and the portions are huge
Great place to go for a bite. Great atmosphere. Nice and cozy
A favourite go to place for quiet conversations, or small group gatherings over many years. Great service snd food!
So cozy, great friendly staff and delicious food and drinks. Great creme Brule too.
We had a wonderful dinner at Toms Place (while staying at the Best Western Fireside Inn in Kingston). We had a cozy table by the fire - the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. My friend said the wings were awesome and the fries were delicious. My fish was great as was the accompanying Caesar salad. All in all, a fantastic, casual dining experience! Would definitely come again...
Great food, great staff, awesome environment. The real wood fire, taxidermy, and decor make this place feel like the most relaxing cottage getaway.
Good food
This is a lovely cozy spot especially during winter with the fireplace crackling. Its like being at a lodge with its unique decor. Food was great and service was good, despite a small mix-up with the bill, which was quickly resolved by our attentive server.
Fantastic food and great service
Food was amazing.made me feel at home definitely going back.
My husband and I had dinner there and it was amazing! We had a wonderful server which made the experience even better!!!
I love it
Our first visit to Toms Place. What a fantastic experience from the comfy arm chairs, the wood fire, great cocktails and perfect service. We had the French Onion soup and shared the personal sized nachos. Sooooo much food but so good! Sydney, our server was excellent. Knowledgeable about the menu, professional in giving suggestions and recommendations, and friendly. Even though we could see that she had a few other tables we never felt neglected. Well definitely be back to try out those fireside couches.
Delicious Swiss cheese fondue and Homemade liver with onion rings. Warm fireplace gives a cozy home feel, the staffs are friendly.
Great little spot! Staff was great, stellar food!
Our waitress was amazing and the food was too
Our favourite local date night spot!
My dad and I go here for lunch and it s always great. The food is always so delicious and the staff are so nice and friendly
It wasnt bad for the place. The waitress very nice. The food is not top notch but it was acceptable.
We absolutely loved the cabin feel, great food too
great place to grab a drink and munchies and relax with friends
This is a nice and comfortable spot to socialize with a group, or have a quieter evening out. The decor is Canadiana, some animal hides, and taxadermy busts of deer, badgers, etc. so it may not appeal to everyone, but I think it is neat for people who havent seen those animals up close. There are comfortable lounge armchairs at some of the tables. My only negative was that the portion sizes of desserts were a bit slim for their pricing (in comparison to other similar local venues). The service from the employees is attentive and very pleasant, I am a repeat customer! Parking: This is located in a hotel, so parking may not always be easily accessible depending on events/ guests, but they have parking on both sides of the restaurant, and quite a bit of it.
Great prime rib.
The food is great, the staff are friendly and helpful, and I love the fireplaces on a cold day!
Who doesnt love a bufflo head on the wall.
Never had any food but service was great .Atmosphere perfect.
Food came to our table quick and hot! The taste and presentation was excellent...
Everything was well paced and the food was delicious!
Its okay. The service is excellent. Extremely friendly and warm.
Food as ordered, service was good, sat and had long visit with family and felt that attention was well timed by waitress. Love the atmosphere here, so cozy.
Genuine restaurant with old-fashioned food and atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Excellent experience, wonderful decor, and delicious food. Our server was knowledgeable and very kind. I highly recommend Toms place.
My wife and I have been regulars here for a few years. We always receive great food & service (Hunter, Diane, and Matt are wonderful). Tonight we were served by a new staff member, Ashley, and were completely wowed by her gentle but engaging personality. She followed all the steps of service to a T, was genuinely interested in learning about us & our guests, and even spoke French to my mother in law (whose first language is French). Totally impressed! Of course we will be back.
A decor, a cuisine, an atmosphere, a service...an experience to live and relive! Thanks to Danièle and Ashley for their kindness and Pinacolada
Great foods great service. Fish and chips highly recommended. Food
Excellent food and atmosphere.
This place takes you back in time. Great atmosphere, always busy, the staff has great attitude.
Ive eaten here twice in the past few months, and Im telling you the food is great the service is great and the atmosphere is great so as for complaints
Im going back! Service was fantastic and the prime rib was pure perfection! Food
Dropped in for lunch with family. Attentive wait staff, excellent food. Popular place - almost full by noon. Really enjoyed it.
Great waitress and service. Will try to accommodate gluten free. Quiet relaxed atmosphere where you can have a conversation. Have eaten here a few times. Recommend.
I m a regular here. Great food Killer nachos. Great fries Food : 5/5
Interesting atmosphere but very relaxing. Kate, Joanne and the rest of the staff are pleasant and very well experienced to deliver a very positive and pleasant dining experience. Food quality and portions are great value.
Amazing service, food and drinks! We cant wait to return for more. Thank u everyone for a fun and welcoming night. See you soon. Xo
My family visited Tom s Place on February 8th around 1pm for lunch. It was our first meal out as a family since the beginning of the pandemic and we had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to our server Diane. She was very accommodating and patient with my parents who like to joke around with servers haha! Thank you Diane for making our experience wonderful with your lovey disposition! We will definitely be back and hope you will be our server again.
Absolutely amazing place to dine in. Marvelous staff. Great food. The decoration is mind blowing.
Fantastic chowder.
Great atmosphere, great food and friendly staff.
Awesome service, Nachos were perfect.
It is a delightful spot to have a meal, the menu is not huge but the food is very good. I will be back to enjoy to enjoy fondue and drinks.
Must eat here, great friendly service. Food was really good and we were spoiled we got the fire place spot thanks Pierre. A must try
Excellent menu, we had the bacon wrapped scallops, so good!
Wonderful setting for a meeting
Magnificent place, the armchairs are very comfortable, the atmosphere is cozy. The dishes are delicious and the service is perfect. Thank you for this shared moment
Great restaurant. Took out large group with 15 min warning. Food was delicious and servers were great
Its a higher price Restaurant.
Great attractive service.
Cool vibe and atmosphere. Food was good not fantastic. Would eat there again though.
Great food and service
Love this place! This restaurant may get over looked by visitors to the city because its not downtown but it is definitely worth paying a visit to. They have great food, a cozy atmosphere and the BEST nachos!
Very unique restaurant with friendly staff. Quick stop on our travels but was great!
Great service. Tasty food.
What a cozy, cute, warm place to have a few drinks! Absolutely loved our experience here at Tom s Place, even super busy Bruce kept a smile on his face the whole time and provided excellent customer service. Bruce, you made our trip so much better here in Kingston, thank you!
Great drinks, food, and atmosphere!
Comfortable seats.Delicious food. Great waitress
Unique atmosphere.
Unexpected cozy unique place. Food is simple but very good
Nice restaurant with great atmosphere!
Friendly service great atmosphere and good food.
Love their nachos platter. Drinks are expensive.
We had a group visit for lunch and the service was quick for all of us and overall food was good!
Quiet and Great food
Expensive, but very good. Cozy.
Good food
Great food & drinks and also wonderful staff.
We had a wonderful meal on the Garden Patio tonight (Sunday July 4th) highlighted by outstanding service. Thank you, Hunter, for the genuine hospitality. We will be back!
Great place, Joanne was very nice and friendly. Very accommodating to our party. Sadly no handicap washroom. I had to leave my mobility aid outside the rather small broom closet that was a washroom to be able to use it. Very sad on that part.

This is a nice relaxing place to chill. Food is great, the decor is wonderful. Wish there was a place like this back home.
Good food. Good service. Reasonable prices.
Great food. And service
the full.menu is not available but what they do they do well. particularly prime rib, bacon wrapped scallops
Drinks were very expensive. Both my wife and Is meals were very mediocre.
The place is definitely not what you d expect. A little run down but homey. However the food was a pleasant surprise. It was one of the best plates of liver with onions and bacon that I ve ever eaten and the dessert was to die for. Service excellent. What can I say other than ..thank you for such a good dinner.
Hidden gem! Great food, great service! Thanks Diane!!
Great service and food
Great place for a quiet drink and dinner .
Nice hunting cabin ambience. You should not go if offended by taxidermed wild animals. Liver & onions, Montreal smoked meat sandwich, hamburger quickly disappeared. Friendly, efficient staff. Hit the spot on a dull, rainy night. Why drive?
Super cozy place!
Their steak is the die for
Amazing food (gotta have the chicken fingers), great drinks, cozy atmosphere (especially around the holidays), they got trivial pursuit cards at the tables, Ive never had a bad experience here.
Excellent food, great service. Had the liver and onions (which I dont always find these days). It was cooked perfectly.
Very nice coming back after around 4 years and see it doesnt change much, still having a great atmosphere. Very good food with attentive waitresses.
Service friendly good basic menue and tasty food
I would happily eat here again the fondue and the escargot was quite good. Its the best restaurant that I have eaten at in Kingston.
Always a good time! Excellent food, decent prices. Also a pretty good selection of drinks.
Again, very rare i give 5 stars but Toms place deserves it. Hard to describe this place but its very cozy unlike any place you will have been in. All arm chairs, booths with a roaring fire place, friendly and helpful staff, reasonable prices and good food. If i might recommend a good red wine, its this one attached JP Chenet. I had a glass. Its smooth as butter. Ask staff for it as I dont think its on the menu yet but the waitress we had recommended it and said it was new. Its exceptional.
Ordered an appetizer (bruschetta), and for the main I had the fish & chips. Both were incredible! I would absolutely return. I should have ordered the two piece fish because I was left wanting more! Service was good too. The atmosphere is cozy and feels nostalgic. Not many places left that look and feel this way, and it was very refreshing.
The best place for a quiet meal or drink in Kingston. Love the atmosphere!
Great service and meals!
Good food Excellent service and a nice atmosphere
Great Service!
Nice pub to have drinks at.
Love this place. Food was good. My wife and I had a great meal. The room was a bit hot for me cause of the fireplace but she found it very cozy. Love the seats. Really nice place to eat. Really great decor very very rustic. More urbanized types may not like the stuffed heads but I think this type of atmosphere still appeals.
Great service!! Food was meh....
A little pricey, but good food and great service.
Pricey. Not my favorite menu. Quesadilla was good.
This is a gem. On my trip from Toronto to Montreal, we decided to have a dinner stop at Kingston. This place deserves the high rating. Its a chalet style bar, very comfy and unique ambience. I was there with my wife and 2 kids. At first, I was worried that it wouldnt be kids friendly. Then the kids menu appears :) my older son, 8 year old keeps telling me to go back. The good was great, the portion was too big, but I cant lower the stars for that. The stop is also very close to highway, making it a perfect stop on our long trip.
Great food and the server was awesome. Loved the atmosphere!!
Very busy but the Atmosphere was great. Food ok.
Its a 5 star, food is great and atmosphere stylish now with its Do-over.
Love this spot, my husband and I go here often...so cozy!! The menu is great, drinks delicious and the service is fantastic. The only CON about Toms place is that the restrooms for the ladies(not sure about the gents) is in behind the bar..not the most convenient, especially when you have a stroller..and there is no baby change pad in the ladies room either. Overall- we give this restaurant a 4star.
Very comfortable and relaxing
Good place to have a drink, great staff!
Had a great beef dip. Left very happy.
Not easy to find, tucked in behind the bistro. Intimate dining, food was terrific. Service was second to none, very pleasant. Absolutely great place for a quiet lunch and conversation.
Great food, Great staff, Great place
Great food and good pricing.
Fantastic as always
Great place. If you want a nice atmosphere, you cant beat it. Food is great, beers cold.
Timeless
Wonderful place to relax and have conversation with a libation! Fantastic staff!
Visited this restaurant twice. It has a very homey atmosphere with antiques, stuffed birds and animals on the log-walls. It has plenty of parking either on site or at a nearby shopping area. The washrooms are clean. Service was great and attentive. We had several dishes, fish and chips, half dip, chicken vegetable wrap, smoked meat. In all cases the food suffered from lack of heat. The meals come from somewhere unseen and it might be too far to assure its hot. The food is reasonably priced, but I found the coleslaw seemed off and their fish sauce lacked zip. The cheese cake was small for the price. In all, a great place to go for a meal, especially for the atmosphere which includes real fireplaces.
Fantastic food! Really. Very friendly staff. Decor a taxidermists dream. Not sure how I felt about dining with stuffed critters but quickly forgot about it once the meal arrived.
It was really relaxing and friendly. The staff were excellent!
Nice cozy, quiet and comfortable place. Your typical bar food and drinks with very good service.
Everything Ive had there in in the past week has been great. I had dessert as well this evening and that was a delight. Pleasent service. Crayons and coloring/activity paper for kids as well.
Great service, some of the friendliest staff around town! Food this trip was ok. Fries are addictive but my main course (rib eye sandwich with au jus) was just ok. I will definitely be going back
Good quality, choices and service
Come here very often with my fiancee and often our friends too. Love the atmosphere and the drinks. Very friendly staff.
Service was quick and good food
The restaurant is inside of the Best Western hotel, across from another restaurant which is a more fine-dining establishment. Walking in, youll see that the restaurant is like one big cozy living room! There arent any traditional chairs to sit on, but rather comfy sofas, and even a fireplace at the back!
Great spot for a nice dinner
Great food, friendly service, cozy and super comfortable surroundings!
My friend and I share a mutual love of cheese fondue so we were super excited to find out that there was a place in Kingston to have fondue! The restaurant is inside of the Best Western hotel, across from another restaurant which is a more fine-dining establishment. Walking in, youll see that the restaurant is like one big cozy living room! There arent any traditional chairs to sit on, but rather comfy sofas, and even a fireplace at the back!
Last 2 times not really a good experience. I ordered a burger and fries, the fries were cold and the waitress never showed up again on the other side of the restaurant to tell her. 2 days ago I was in, ordered just a burger, no sides cause I wasnt hungry and they still charged 16+ tax. I thought that was kinda a rip off. Cause other restaurants charge almost half the price if you dont get everything in your plate. And I think almost 20 bucks for a plain Jane burger is too much. Wont be going there again probably.
Cool atmosphere, good service
Awesome and delicious like always. Great food and really cozy atmosphere. I love it!!!
