Wonderful food, service and presentation! 5 Stars applied. We've made Tom Browns our special event reservations!

THE EGGROLLS! The Eggrolls were my absolute favorite part of the meal. They have pork and greens in them, and are topped with a white bbq sauce. They are just perfect. The restaurant was clean. The decor was really swanky. Bright colored resin are on the walls and in the bathrooms. Traditionally glam dining chairs and each table had a mini terrarium on it. Very cute. Lots of chandeliers everywhere. I love that part. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. The staff was so kind and so knowledgeable. Our dinner was even served to us by Tom Brown, himself. That made the experience special. I ordered the pork chop with a side of Brussels sprouts. My food was delicious. The pork chop was tender, juicy, and seasoned very well. The Brussels were cooked perfectly with a good amount of pork/bacon in them. My date ordered the Hawaiian Wahoo with a side of seasonal veggies. He wanted to try one of the fresh fish recommendations, as they explained to us that the fish is flown in. He seemed to enjoy it. It was his first time tasting the fish. The pricing is moderate for the appetizers and drinks, but the entrees are a bit more on the expensive side. You do, get plenty of food for your money. Including complimentary bread for the table. We spent about $150 for an appetizer, 3 drinks, and two entrees. I'd definitely be going back, even for the Eggrolls alone and would recommend everyone to try this place out. read more

Tom Brown's Restaurant - Lemon drop - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Madison, Alabama

I must say, with all honesty, this is the best resturant within Madison and Huntsville. The atmosphere, decor and staff, the menu selection, cocktails, and the food, where all awesome! I usually will travel to Atlanta or Nashville to get this level of dining. It may look small from outside, but it's much bigger and the atmosphere and decor are very nice and trendy. If you know and enjoy dining out and sick of the local blah-style restaurants; you will love Tom Brown's restaurant. Thanks Tom for finally bringing fun dining to the area! read more

Tom Brown's Restaurant - Very nice place. Great atmosphere and decor. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Madison, Alabama

I am quite impressed by growth Madison has experienced in the last few years. I was quite exited to see what appeared to be a "high end" steak house among the new additions since I last lived here. As soon as we had a chance, we came and gave it a try. Fortunately, we left full after experiencing fast service from a very energetic staff. Unfortunately, it left my wallet quite empty and the quality was quite less than what I'd expect given the price - even for this area. I've traveled all over the country and have been blessed to savor all sorts of foods. When it comes to steak, the best one you can't get in a restaurant comes from my friend's ranch in Kansas. After that, I'm a big fan of a place in Annapolis, MD called Lewness's. In my last trip to Lewness's, my wife and I both had steaks. Their menu is a la cart so we ordered Theo sides to split and each got a salad. The steaks were perfectly prepared and the temperature was so exact you could use it to calibrate a thermometer. They were so tender they could be cut with a spoon. I'm not kidding. I asked for a spoon just so I could see if it would. It did. Except the Strip I got once. I had to use my fork. Anyway, before drinks, desert, and tip, that meal was about $120. Our experience at TB was very different. TB is new and has a fun atmosphere. I'm a big fan of crushed velvet (wife said "no" to decorating the house in it but I'm still trying!). I'm also a fan of Guns n Roses so hearing and seeing all that made me optimistic. The quick service was also quite refreshing. Sadly, it stops here. The rolls were unremarkable. Just yeast rolls, sort of tough, with a honey butter. Tasted ok but...we already saw the prices but I refused to let disappointment set in early. Our meals came out quickly! However, our steaks were poorly prepared. Very, very salty. I'd hoped for something like Jeff Ruby's (Cincinnati steakhouse) or at least like Conner's down the road but tue seasoning was about like Outback. The temp of my steak was a medium well and my wife's was medium rare. I asked for medium rare and she asked for medium. Her tips were smothered in a salty sauce of some sort but that actually seemed to hide that this was probably an amazing cut. I can't really tell though because of the sauce. The loaded potatoes were hard. Like they were "almost" done but not exactly. The Brussels sprouts were ok. Oily and salty but not the charred sprouts that seem to be everywhere these days. I keep hitting on the oily and salty part of the meal. It's Alabama. I get it. But that's no reason to coat everything in fats and salts. After all that, the bill came out. $105 before my $15 glass of wine (also "meh" but I picked it so...). So, biggest reason for two stars...price. I paid $15 less for this meal than I would have for an excellent meal of similar variety in a major metropolitan area. There's work to do before I go back to this place. read more

Great place, only thing is the parking is limited near the restaurant and cheap dirty paper menu. I had to focused on listening to the waitress explaining a long special menu items, desserts etc., it was too long. I am not there to learn about the menu. Interior is not as elegant as it first appears, but you can tell they are trying hard to look the part of the menu prices. The food is actually really good however, so I can't complain too much about the restaurant. but your wallet will pay for it. I liked the 80s music they played over the bar. That was nice. It was pretty packed and reservations only it seems with few tables that are open. It's tad on the expensive side. read more

This is a favorite of me and the wife. We love the atmosphere, food and service. Reservations can be a must as they get quite busy. My wife doesn't like overly fancy (aka pretentious) food and this place hits the mark. The recipes are unique enough to explore but the foods are familiar and comfortable so a couple of yokels like us can enjoy it. I'm a big seafood person and TB's has, in my opinion, the freshest in town. Mr Brown will come out with the food at times and is one of the nicest person you'll meet. Be sure to see Nathaniel at the bar for a good chat and great cocktails. read more

Food was amazing! Our waiter was fantastic! Literally, the best filet mignon I have ever had!!!! The rolls weren't good at all, but everything else was very good. The spicy balls and shrimp chowder were fantastic! Highly recommend a reservation. read more

This is officially one of the best restaurants in the area! We had the rib-eye and the Mahi both were cooked perfectly. The staff was amazing, our waitress was Brooklyn and she was super helpful with helping us decide. Now the dessert, it was so perfect I actually shed two tears. We had the Toms Chessaberry cake, and y'all, it was the best dessert I've ever had. If you like fruit give the dessert a try but you probably couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

We stumbled upon here looking for a nice restaurant that offered good vibes, cocktails, and oysters! We found two out of the three here! The waitress was attentive and super friendly! Our food was delicious and service was not too long! The best part is the decor...edgy and classy all at the same time. read more

OMG!!! So incredibly happy we finally got to try this place. Walked in and loved what we saw, the decor is absolutely beautiful, not your typical Alabama steak house. The staff greeted us with a warm welcome and lots of information. We had every intention of having dinner, but the appetizers sounded so amazing, we ended up having 4 different starters and a couple of cocktails. Demetrius and Theo were outstanding servers and Gavine, one of the managers made sure everything was perfect for us. We also enjoyed talking with the owner Tom and let him know how pleased we were and that we were beyond thrilled they opened here in Huntsville. We can hardly wait to come back and enjoy trying an actual entree. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Great appetizers, meals and drinks! Try the shrimp n grits or the steak. Would definitely go here again.

This is such a great restaurant - if you are looking for a fine dining experience you should definitely check this place out! I made reservations through open table. There are plenty of spaces to park next to the restaurant. We ordered the bison wrapped in bacon and the elk with mushroom glaze - honestly it's difficult to saw which dish I liked more as both were incredible. Our waitress was really sweet and took good care of us. read more

It was decent. This is my second time dining here. I'm allergic to shellfish so I just go for the appetizers green tomatoes and mean green egg rolls. Can't miss unless they fry them too hard. It's a decent dining experience read more

Excellent service and good. The restaurant Ambiance is outstanding and beautifully decorated. This is very relaxing place to dine with delicious food. read more

This is the second year we have celebrated our anniversary at Tom Browns & this year was just as exceptional. Our server Liz went above and beyond to make our meal extra special; she explained the new specials, we were never even close to being out of beverages, she was quick and efficient while also being genuine and warm. Our steaks were cooked perfectly; correct temperature, seasoned well with a great sear/char & that BUTTER is incredible! Our wonderful meal was concluded with a complementary dessert celebrating our special day; we have never received anything like that at any other restaurant. Tom Brown's just specializes in exceptional food & customer service read more

I guess the ole saying is true, don't go to a place known for their steak, and order fish. In this case Red Snapper. My table Ordered two servings of the snapper (blackened & grilled), and it was evident both fillets had issues. I personally think the fillets were NOT snappers. Secondly, I never had a fillet I could NOT cut with a fork, let alone a knife. Mine was so tough it was either frozen for a long period of time or serverly aged...either /or I found myself self ill later. I will not describe their "blackened ", it was laughable, to say the least It wasn't like this was a time to impress, this was the first time I had an opportunity to take my "soon to be daughter in law" to dinner. Tom Browns should have been a "home run". However, my soon to be daughter in law said her meal was fantastic.... That was all that mattered. The server was incredible, one that every business would want representing them. The orzo and sweet potatoes were very good, but that mystery fish (2 servings) you could not get past. I am torn whether I would ever go back or recommend. The fillets were that bad. With their price point and this being one of their chef specials, I won't get that time / experience back with me soon to be daughter in law. This lack of quality caught me off guard...this should have been a no brainer. If I do return, it would be how professional and gracious the server was. In closing, I found it odd that when two of a like- menu items are returned from the same check, this did not catch the attention of the manager / chef...Crickets. read more

The staff was wonderful and the establishment was very nicely decorated but the food was all around sub-par. This was very disappointing considering how expensive it is. The complimentary roll with honey butter was delicious but, sadly, that was the tastiest thing we had. Our crab claw appetizer was overcooked and didn't taste fresh. The fish and the brussel sprouts were both under seasoned and bland. I felt that they cut corners and therefore sacrificed the quality of the food. For example, they used the pre-minced jarred garlic for the lemon garlic butter that came with the fish. Anyone who cooks knows how different that tastes from fresh garlic. I sincerely hope they up their game and introduce some fresher, better seasoned and more original dishes. read more

What couldn't gone better ? Well if the fish was fresh that definitely would've been better, if the restaurant employees actually take responsibility for their mistakes that could've been better, or how about if the owner wasn't such an obnoxious stuck up butthole .... That definitely would've made this final experience better. read more

Horrible food extremely pricey,and not considered customer service they are extremely horrible.

Headline: Prices are in the stratosphere. The food is out of this world. I went to dinner at Tom Brown's restaurant last night. I had lobster bisque, the ribeye steak with seasonal vegetables, and a $13 glass of wine; no dessert. With tip, that cost me nearly $100. The ribeye was extraordinarily delicious, so were the vegetables, and that was the best lobster bisque I've had since I dined at L'Aiglon restaurant in New York City in the 1970s. It was easily the best tasting meal I've had in recent memory. The biggest negative was that the place was too noisy, with music, audio from the giant TVs on the wall, and crowd noise all combined. The waiter was pointedly friendly, if a bit overbearing, and arrived at the table more than once when we were eating, conversing, and didn't need him, asking "how is everything" or suggesting something else we could order, like a commercial that interrupts a movie every few minutes. Bottom line: If I had a good-paying job instead of being essentially retired and living on Social Security, I'd dine there often. It's the best (and also the most expensive) Huntsville/Madison restaurant I've been to, and that includes my other favorite steak house, Connors. read more

While visiting Madison, Alabama during the December holidays, my daughter, Kim, and her husband, Christopher, treated us to dinner at this unassuming little gem. Ambiance is simple and lovely. Chairs are noticeably more comfortable than most in a restaurant. Service commenced almost before we were seated. Drinks arrived promptly, the food was terrific and the staff very accommodating. The meal was so good that I mentioned returning the next time we visit the area in February. It is important to note that the servers asked and made note of allergies; all of the food was fresh and not processed and the meal so good we had no room for dessert. We look forward to visiting again!!! Superb job, Tom Brown's!!!!! read more

Never disappoints! We came for Valentines, reservations allowed us to be seated immediately. We started with a bottle of Pinot Nior and crabcakes so fresh and filled with crabmeat.

First time here, and my wife and I were impressed. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was nice, and the wife loved the chandeliers. Our server Robert was beyond great! The food was stellar. Appetizer was the firecracker shrimp, fantastic flavor with a bit of heat, 2 perfectly cooked and tender ribeyes with baked potatoes, and a bourbon pecan pie that was absolutely delicious. This was the first of many trips here. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Tom Brown's! The food was good (although a little overpriced) and the drinks were awesome! The restaurant is nicely decorated with a chill atmosphere.

A delicious meal and overall pleasant experience. The Ribeye was huge, cooked at a perfect medium and packed with flavor.

Tom Brown's Restaurant - Outside seating - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Impeccable food, fun atmosphere and decor, great staff. Can get loud, but otherwise enjoyable.

I was in town for a week and I had several people recommend this steak house. I went with a group of 10. My experience was not the best. Our waitress struggled with all of our orders and at the end of the meal she told her manager that the reason everything was messed up was because we had someone show up late and it threw all the orders out of wack. We all got a steak and everyone one us said that it lacked any flavor and most of them were not cooked as ordered. I had a wedge salad that was tasty and the bread that they'd served was also a good addition. However at the end of the day I was really wanting a well prepared steak and they fell to deliver. The manager tried to make it right by deducting the price of the steaks from a few of the tickets and he also gave us some gift cards. I'm not if this was just a bad night or the norm. I might give another try the next time I'm in town if I do I will be sure to leave another review not matter if it is good or bad. read more

Excellent service, wonderful ambiance, and amazing food. Our dinner was cooked perfectly and the drinks were amazing. This is a great place for a date night or special occasion. Is can be expensive, but there's a cost for a well organized and prepared night out for dinner. read more

Tom Brown's restaurant, Madison, AL, on their WEB Page, it states MADISON's BEST STEAK & SEAFOOD RESTAURANT. Today was my first and most recent dining experience with them this EASTER Sunday, 2021 and I would have to DISAGREE. The atmosphere is terrific and it is a very nice and upscale establishment. Wait staff is, of course, very young and unseasoned, but all-in-all, a nice restaurant. I will begin with a snapshot of the bill. Green to me were exceptional, fuchsia = not so much, and red = I lost my appetite. When a patron reads the description of the sea bass and it is described to you by the waiter/waitress, it sounds heavenly... soft buttery texture with wonderful seasoning, etc., melt in you mouth, but in my case it was all perfect until I came to picking BONES from my mouth, tactfully. Folks, that is what did it for me! Expectations when dining in such a fine establishment are high and when I am nearly complete with enjoying a wonderful meal and taking the last few bites, I would never have the impression/expectation that I'd need to be watching out for fear of being impaled, internally, by eating fish bones in a Chilean Sea Bass filet! What is most disappointing for me is when I brought this up to the wait staff, I was presented with two responses: 1. Yes sir, we have that listed in our disclaimer and 2. Yes, we have had that problem with bones in our Sea Bass filet. Wow, so it is a known issue! I believe the listing on the menu should read: NOT A FILET; BONE IN, then. Also if you pay $58.00 for the meal, prepare yourself for a surprise! In closing, I'd like to say, I know where I'd like to spend my money and get what I pay for. In this situation, this Easter Sunday, I definitely was not expecting such a surprise and I will be wiser for it in the future. Thank you TB for a truly unforgettable dining experience. read more

Definitely a cool vibe. We had a large table, so this may be an unfair assessment, but unfortunately, a lot of our food did not come out hot it's not a cheap date, so when you're paying 40-50 bucks for a plate, you do expect it to come out hot. It also took over an hour to get our food after we ordered . The server was young and all though sweet.. probably needed a little bit more experience, serving this type of food. read more

If you're looking for a sign to go, this is it. Go! Make a reservation and bring your wallet. You're going to want to try everything! I highly recommend the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer. The shrimp are so fresh! And that sauce. That sauce is perfection. Honestly I would love to put that shrimp on a roll and make it a fancy po'boy! My husband got the lamb with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Those Brussel sprouts are worth the up charge. Trust me. The lamb was good and very tender. But if you ask me the star is the steaks. My Ribeye was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I wanted to licked the plate afterwards, it was that good. The entree comes with a loaded potato and I started sour cream they use French dip. At first I was hesitant but it's actually quite tasty! And if you're worried about proportions - stop. You get exact what you pay for. It's plenty of food so good luck saving room for dessert! All in all I would recommend this restaurant. The food is upscale but the environment is relaxed. You won't feel out of place and I think that's why I love it. read more
