Tomahawk Steakhouse in Newcastle upon Tyne

Went for Sunday lunch. Service was very good, and there was a good atmosphere. I ordered roast chicken which was very good. However, my wife ordered roast beef which was anything but! My wife ended up only managing to eat about one third of her beef. Some of it she couldn't even cut and she had to spit loads out because it was too chewy to swallow. Not a good look in a restaurant and very embarrassing. We told the server and he said he would pass on our comments to the chef. Also the service charge had already been added to the bill when it was brought to us. I feel the server should ask if we are happy to pay a service charge BEFORE the bill is brought. As it happened, we asked for the service charge to be deducted due to the poor quality of the beef. Twenty pounds is not particularly cheap for a Sunday lunch, and for that price, the beef should be so tender that it almost melts in the mouth. Especially in a specialist steak restaurant! Almost 4 pounds for a bottle of still water is also pretty extortionate. It's a shame really that my wife's food spoiled our experience because the staff and the atmosphere were both very good.

My self and my husband had visited for lunch today and we've had a great experience, steak was amazing , staff very helpful and polite We recommend the place

Really nice place, the prices was very good aswell

Waited 30 minutes for a table that was already set up and empty

Gorgeously lovely steak a must and no blood loving it

Just had a fantastic working lunch and can’t recommend this place enough. Excellent food and the service was perfect !!

Excellent meal, a good experience for steak and burger. Drinks decent However do recommend to redecorate your toilets, a fancy restaurant but unwanted graffiti within toilets? Apart from that Excellent service from staff and management.

Great staff very helpful even a cheeky little sharing desert when the found out it was our wedding anniversary

We did the bottomless brunch. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and good banter. Cocktails were lush and the steak was amazing. 100% recommend.

It was actually the Rio Brazillian Steakhouse upstairs that we went to. The food was very good and the service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. There are several cuts of beef served to you, as well as lamb, gammon, chicken and sausages, all cooked to a good standard. In addition to the cooked meats there is a self service salad / charcuterie bar, where you have a choice of numerous items to accompany your meats, including some fish options, rices and cheeses. This is what I would call an experience restaurant, and somewhere you can visit fom time to time but not every week. We were greeted on arrival and shown to our table, which looked out onto the fantastic river Tyne over to the Glasshouse Music venue, the Millenium Bridge and the Baltic Centre for the Arts. There is a good selection of ales and wines on offer and we were then given instructions by our greeting staff member on how it all works. Basically you have what in essence looks like a beer mat on your table, with one side green and the other side coloured red. As long as you leave the mat green side up they will keep bringing food to you. Turn it over to red side up and the service stops. Turn it back to green after a rest and the service starts again. All in all it was a very worthwhile experience and one that I would look forward to doing again, once I have managed to digest the meat feast I thoroughly enjoyed.

Tomahawk used to be our go-to with amazing food and good service but it’s just not what it used to be. Went for lunch for a special occasion recently and experience was ok. We had nachos to start followed by the sharing board (our usual) as it normally has a nice variety with the different cuts. Asked for steak medium and it came out somewhere between rare and medium rare. There was a small mistake and one of our sides came out late, no biggie, it happens. If I’m really honest the steak wasn’t very flavourful. On previous visits we’ve eaten every last bite, this visit we left nearly half. The beef dripping chips were delicious as always, but for a £60+ per head meal (without alcohol) you want to rave about something more than potatoes. Service was ok, they showed us to the table and took our order. Nothing that would make you call the service good though (no warm greeting, didn’t ask if it was our first visit, didn’t point out basics like toilets, didn’t talk about the menu at all—no specials/recommendations, didn’t ask if we were there for a special occasion, didn’t ask about our day and didn’t say thank you or even acknowledge us leaving) yet added a service charge to the bill. I’m always happy to pay a tip when the service is good but common sense should prevail and if there’s been a mistake with the order or service has been lacking, present the bill without the automatically added tip. Place was clean and location is nice, overall it’s an ok place just keep your expectations in check.

Had a really nice lunch, service was excellent. The girl with the nice dress was really great (can’t remember name). We had an issue with our starter (garlic bread) but she was prompt to offer us something else straight away and our main meals were delicious.

Absolutely perfect night for my partners birthday went as I planned which I had discussed with the staff at tomahawk. Food was amazing and more than what we expected. Staff was brilliant but !!!EXTRA SHOUT OUT!!! To Philip who served us all night and was amazing, polite and humble, he went above and beyond to make our night amazing and he did, very lucky if you get Philip to serve your night. Thankyou again tomahawk you have WOWED us tonight!

Wow! All I can say is wow! The food was fantastic, the drinks were amazing and the service was top notch! It was my partners birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a very memorable evening.

Enjoyed a great meal here, everything as expected! Steak was cooked perfectly and sides were great! All the staff were lovely and friendly.

Only gave 3 for atmosphere as it was a Monday night. Place and experience was top draw

Great food and service. Highly recommended 👌

Came to this restaurant in Newcastle Quayside for a nice meal out after driving 6 hours for the weekend with family and my boyfriend. The service at the restaurant was great, however, the food, not so much. I ordered a medium-rare fillet steak, broccoli and creamed mash. I ended up with such bad sickness and diarrhea for 7 hours straight that I ended up having to speak to 111. A clinician also spoke to me who said this is a case of food poisoning (which I had already suspected) after going through multiple questions with me. Let me make it clear that I hadn’t eaten anything else apart from this meal. All dignity completely went out of the window after having to drive back with my boyfriend on an almost 6 hour drive in this absolute state which I’m sure most can understand when you’re in a bad way like this, is stressful and potentially embarrassing! I never expected to get food poisoning from an establishment that appears to be popular, but unless you want to chance being in the same condition as I, then I suggest avoiding at all costs!! It has now been approximately 38 hours since the food here was consumed, and I have had to miss work, still feel completely weak and exhausted from the utter stress and dehydration this has put my body through, and have still been unable to eat anything else properly without feeling completely sick to my stomach. Tomahawk Steakhouse, thank you so much for the diarrhea and projectile vomiting, this is something I’m sure everyone wishes to experience when planning a nice meal out with loved ones (clearly not) and I will gladly never be stepping foot in your establishment ever again.

Friendly staff but food terrible, went for the restaurant week to give it a try but was highly disappointed in the food. Asked for steak to be medium rare and not cooked properly, sent back and replaced and exactly the same. Very disappointed and spoilt our night

Went for date night as we’ve got no children tonight and it’s not very often we get time to ourselves but what a disappointment. Twice we ordered steak medium rare and this is what they served. After being a chef for best part of 20 years I’m so disappointed at the results. The management were great but the chef is pure pony and trap. Don’t go please it’s a waste of money and time your best of going to miller and carter. Ps the gravy is pure bisto as well. Should be ashamed of themselves. Ah bisto

Very busy. Great food and atmosphere.

Molly & Ron were really great and made us feel very welcomed. Delicious food and nice music. We had the 3 course with starter, main and dessert.

I had extremely high hopes for the Porterhouse having been told that I'd have the best steak of my life here. Sadly, it wasn't the case. Not even close. I asked for medium-rare (which it was, albeit a little close to blue in parts), but there was a distinct lack of seasoning as well as what can only be described as a gentle searing. It was disappointing considering the price and the hype. However, the sides were delicious and the service was very friendly and attentive. For a Saturday night, the atmosphere was also spot on. Regardless of the disappointing steak, it was a lovely evening and I'd have no hesitation in coming back to try again, but maybe state more specifically how I'd like my steak.

The big steak sharer is as good as it gets. Top shelf 😈 better than ryther arms 💯

This is a great spot on the quayside , large and spacious , great atmosphere, better staff , amazing food Last time we were there we had a couple of small issues ( nothing serious or newsworthy) but just wanted to add that we spoke to a lovely guy called Liam , he was so magnanimous when we spoke , asked us to e nail next time we were in and he would see us there , he did not disappoint , we were treat exactly the same as before , but he sorted out our issues with great customer service , style and fun , he was true to His word , what a lovely man Give him a raise I just wanted to highlight that , as most places just shrug you off with a Sorry, and goodbye , he was polite , gracious and a great host Well done tomahawk All the staff were friendly , I wish I could remember their names , if your on the toon Please go and visit Hull branch take notice

Lovely but the starter we all wanted was out of stock. The server Phil was lovely and friendly. Really helpful throughout the whole meal. We got a great deal through restaurant week

Lucy was amazing, kept checking our drinks for bottomless brunch and the service was great. Very tasty drinks too, food was fast and delicious.

As we went for a restaurant week menu of 3 courses at £20 I wasn't expecting too much, I was pleasantly surprised that the steak included was still a decent size, very tender and tasty, the starter and the dessert were delicious too, service and waiting time very good. I will be keeping my eye out for the next restaurant week!

Excellent service, pleasant environment, warm welcome, delicious food. Everything was just wonderful, thank you.

Incredible, yummy, fantastic. Lovely place, lovely food!

The steak was very tasty but could have been warmer. Staff were brilliant though.

Lovely little place, and food priced very reasonably however we asked for our steak to be cooked medium and it was most definitely medium rare, im not one for complaining so tried to eat it but just couldn't mange it. We had the land and sea plater and the prawns and lobster tail was absolutely divine and the batter on the squid was delicious. We didnt know how big the sharing plater was so opted to go without a starter and while the plater is enough for two we should have definitely ordered more sides as they were only enough for one. Service was excellent and the waitress was wonderful. There was a 10 per cent service charge but the waitress explained this and gave us the option to remove if we wanted to.

Fantastic,but remember most of the meat is medium rare ,if you like meat well-done it might not be the place for you. But we really enjoyed ourselves

Fantastic meal overall and customer service was excellent. Highly recommend and will return 👌

Food was great the lamb we had was the best I've ever tasted

The food we ordered was really really nice, my wife and I tucked into the shared meat and fish dish, which was ample. Bit pricey but cooked and presented really nicely. Staff were attentive without being overbearing. Your 'tip' is now in the bill so you can't leave what you feel, as its calculated for you. I can see both sides of the argument here but I feel I still would like the option. 4 people dining without starters or dessert and one round of drinks is about £212. So not a cheap night out to be sure. At this price and given how good the food is I was a little surprised that not more of an effort was put into creating a dining 'experience'. Cheaper steak venues do go a little further and create something more memorable than just the quality of the food. But in fairness it was a Monday night so perhaps things were toned down?? Overall highly recommended for the food.

We called in for a drink after a meal elsewhere. One of our friends felt poorly and needed a taxi - Alex, one of the Team called for one for us and was extremely helpful. We will be back for food - it looked delicious

Incredible food , and outstanding service . Jasmine our waitress was , polite , cheerful and made our evening that little bit extra special xx

Brilliant service especially from Beth and Molly! Food was outstanding and drinks were really nice! Would definitely recommend!

Of all the bottomless brunches I've done to date, this was hands down the best. The service was great from the second we walked in, the staff were friendly and polite and took good care of us. There was no hanging around for our cocktails...

Food was beautiful, staff were lovely, nice place to go for something to eat

First time here for my son’s birthday. 2 opted for steaks, 1 Thai curry and 1 chicks board (similar to chicken wraps). Steaks were cooked well. Unfortunately the Thai prawn curry , although tasty, arrived with all the shells on, so she had to dig...

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially Connor who found us a table even though it was very busy and we hadn't booked and an even bigger thank you to Jasmine for looking after us so well. We were especially impressed by being asked if we had any allergies, not many places do that. The food was absolutely amazing, we can't recommend the restaurant highly enough and we will definitely be back.

Went for restaurant week did 3 courses for £20 thoroughly enjoyed. Portions weren't huge but were filling. Sister tried the long Island iced tea and thoroughly enjoyed. Service was fantastic and food arrived promptly.

We came for a birthday meal. Absolutely beautiful food. Bethany our waitress was very attentive, professional, friendly and helpful. Would definitely return. Thank you!

Beth was fantastic. Excellent, friendly service. Lovely food. We had the tomahawk sharer for two. Celebrating our engagement

Always great food and brilliant service. Ideal for couples, mates, and families.

Great service from Beth and her colleagues Birthday lunch and we really enjoyed it food and drinks were excellent 😃

Amazing food and amazing service

Starters... 2x meatballs, parmo nuggets, salmon crostini Mains... 3x steaks and 1 chicken burger with sides to suit. Sweets....3xtoffee fudge and 1 cheesecake.. Best steaks for a very long time. Well worth it. Food excellent, service excellent , staff are very helpful and friendly Sorry...

Gutted never seen Tommy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐕♥️👍

This was my first visit with three friends and I wasnt disappointed. We were given a warm welcome and shown to our table.We chose from the Resturant week menu that was excellent value for money being 3 courses for £20. My choice for starter was smoked salmon crostini, followed by buttermilk chicken burger then vanilla cheesecake which was the most delicious cheesecake I have ever tasted, I would highly recommend all three dishes.The staff were all lovely, friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our visit very much and I will be visiting again hopefully in the near future.

Great food, friendly service. Prices are reasonable. We were in for lunch, mid week and it was very quiet.

Super value for money! Try the sharer platters.

Asked for medium rare fillet and my steak came completely rare and cold in the middle. My partner got the same steak and his was cooked fine. Very disappointing for the price (£144 for a shared starter two meals and two drinks each plus a...

It was nice but be careful they add a tip 10% to your bill regardless if your happy with the service or not

Dined at this restaurant last week, Alice's performance as our waitress at Tomahawk Steak House surpassed our expectations. From the moment we were seated, she exuded a genuine enthusiasm for ensuring our dining experience was unparalleled. Not only did she navigate the menu with finesse, offering insightful recommendations, but her attention to the smallest details, such as refilling our water promptly and ensuring our preferences were met, truly stood out. Throughout the meal, Alice demonstrated a perfect balance between professionalism and approachability. Her warm demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel valued as patrons. It was evident that she took pride in her work, and her passion for delivering exceptional service shone through in every interaction. Alice's ability to anticipate our needs and provide seamless service was commendable. She managed the pacing of the courses flawlessly, allowing us to savor each dish without feeling rushed. Her knowledge of the ingredients and preparation methods showcased her dedication to her role. In summary, Alice significantly contributed to our positive experience at Tomahawk Steak House. Her outstanding service, combined with a genuine passion for hospitality, made our visit truly memorable. We look forward to returning and, hopefully, being served by Alice once again.

Was treated to a bottomless brunch for my 50th birthday. Having not experienced a bottomless brunch before I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The afternoon entailed a 90 minute sitting where you could choose a meal from a set menu along with unlimited drinks,...

Fantastic meal and service was amazing by Ryan ,made the night for us on my wifes birthday. Steak was cooked to perfection by the chef 👨‍🍳 👍

Came here as two couples, table wasn't ready so we were seated on couches and immediately offered cocktails. Arrived at table and ordered quickly, I had the flat iron, my partner had the steak fajitas and the other couple had the sharing board. The food...

Bad service ignorant staff! And most importantly cold food !!! Started with cold mushrooms then BBQ sauce steak was lukewarm chips were the same. More grizzle than steak . And then the hot chocolate fudge was colder than the ice cream!!! To top it off...

Been coming for around 6 years for my birthday, Chateaubriand has never failed to please me. Only minor this year - for some reason there's paper on the board that it comes out on, when you have your steak rare it soaks up all the juices I want to dip my food in, then once soggy starts falling to bits, get rid of the paper please, belongs more on fast food anyway.

Best steak we ever had in the UK.

It was the best steak ever we had.my husband was very happy and satisfied with the service from Ryan.He explained about the best match dishes for the steak.Really calm and peaceful inside the restaurant.

Food . Service . And atmosphere class . Would definitely recommend 👌

Grabbed a bite to eat last minute on our way to a concert. It was a quick and convenient booking made on line and we were sitted by the window overlooking the quayside which could only have been improved by the windows having been cleaned...

Deliciously cooked steak! Chips were delicious, desserts were great although I was soo full I could have burst!! Staff were most pleasant and friendly. It’s definitely overpriced but it’s ok for a little treat!

Nice place. Over priced for the amount you get mind. As regular steak eaters, it was about a 7/10, we tried 5 different types of steak, 3 cooked perfect one over and one under. I'd definitely go back but choose something different.

Great food, gorgeous place and a lovely view from our table. I definitely recommend this place!

Not as good as it was a few years back. Drinks (spirits are like water) I think my days are over with Tomahawk, for £145 spent it really wasn’t worth it…you can see the quality has massively dropped compared to a few years ago. Won’t be going back.

Bottomless brunch was absolutely outstanding, definitely recommend. Steak was so tasty and cooked to perfection!

We had a booking for 11 of us to celebrate my nieces 21st Birthday. I was so excited for us all, as I and others in my family have visited before and had beautiful meals, and experiences in the past. I had literally ‘raved’ about...

Great location and the service by Lucy brilliant ! Food fantastic, the staff all friendly and happy to help!

We had the basic Sunday roast. It wasn't huge and not a great deal of meat. Pricey but great location with Sunday market nearby.

Company Xmas meal for 22, great food, friendly staff, recommended.

we arrived at your restaurant at 6:20pm We ordered our food along with the drinks We waited until 7:07 for our food and with no table check to see if we were ok or to explain the wait When the food arrived the steak was...

I have always wanted to try a steak at tomahawk. My god! It was one of the best steaks I've ever had! Cooked to perfection! One minor complaint would be the buttery garlic sauce I had for the steak was nice, but bland, could do with some salt added, but rest of the meal was fantastic! Staff was great and attentive and it was my birthday and they made my pudding real special! 😊

Went for bottomless brunch for my 40th birthday with my husband and we had an absolutely lovely time. The food was amazing and the drinks were so delicious. We were served my Beth and Lucy and they were an absolute pleasure, working in hospitality at...

Overall the food was really nice, but not for the price. Just disappointed in the steak as it didn't meet my expectations. It didn't really taste like a wagyu steak, just seemed like a normal steak. I have just came back from Japan and the wagyu steak, it was completely different. I didn't realise the wagyu steak it is 50/50 at the tomahawk.

Brilliant service fantastic food great atmosphere, this is one of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting. The manager was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, the staff knew what their food was about and recommended me a fantastic starter. The cost...

First time at this place .not the cheapest but the food and service is first rate highly recommend this to anyone looking for a venue to eat.

We opted for the festive menu, which was decent value. Really great selection and was all excellent. The only wee thing was lookout for the optional service charge already added. We were leaving a nice tip anyway, but nearly missed what was already added!

It was ok but a bit pricey for Sunday dinner

Food here was great! Strongly recommend the Flat Iron steak with the Tomahawk Signature Rub! Sides were delicious too. Service however, was poor and could be improved drastically. Took over 5 minutes for me to pay. The waitress/waitresses were not very attentive and kept talking among themselves. The nerves to request for service charge when the service is poor was appalling!

Food was good, service was very slow and the music was to loud to have a conversation over the table.

Really enjoyed this experience, from start to finish. The food was lovely and tasted exceptional. Staff were excellent, well manored. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Food was really average. The flat iron steak had some good flavour but the recommended cooking of this is medium rare on the menu, this means that it is slightly tough and not enjoyable. The sides were extremely average. The Mac and cheese was bland and needed a lot of salt, the pasta was way over cooked. The creamy garlic Mushrooms had some good flavour initially but again weren’t anything special. 2 stars for the food, probably 1 if I wasn’t so hungry and at nearly £40 I definitely expected more. Service was prompt Atmosphere is hard to judge as it was a Monday evening.

Great location and venue. Customer service was outstanding, thanks to Molly who looked after us. Definitely be coming back again

Dined here tonight MOLLY was outstanding!! Lovely girl helped anywhere she could! We got the shared bored that had multiple cuts on it, food was average could have got a better steak elsewhere. Would go back to get the kindness and efficiency, other staff seems...

Alice was loverly and charming Lucy was great always smiling Food was amazing and was much better than the other venues other than yarm

We had the early bird menu and for that price you get great standard of food. Service was excellent and so were the drinks, special mention to Lucy M and Alice who served us they were lovely and kind. Will defo been returning!!

Was greeted by a miserable blonde girl. However it did not put me off my experience. The food was delicious and the waiters were warm and friendly towards me.

Big thanks to seb who helped me today with a gift voucher as an older person needed help he was really helpful and cheerful thanks x

Molly rocks! Best waitress in Newcastle. Unfortunately the wagyu burger was dry the rest of the food was good and service was excellent.

a fantastic meal for my girlfriends birthday we tried the wagyu steak it was the best either of us has ever had brilliant food and brilliant staff we cant wait for our next visit thank you

There were maybe two other tables occupied when we were in, but the staff, instead of giving us cracking service, decided to loiter at the bar and chat or check their phone.... I've never known service take so long! The food was alright.

Great service and food, nothing fancy, but that steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great 👌

Had a surf and turf platter plus an individual steak between us, food was amazing and the staff were friendly and efficient. Great experience all round.

The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. When we arrived, we were asked to wait at the bar area, which is small, and we had to keep moving out of the way of the staff and other patrons. When we were seated, the service was slow, and some of the limited vegetarian options were not available by 8 pm. on a Saturday night. After a lengthy wait for our starters, we eventually got our main courses at 920pm. By which time I have to say I wasn't overly hungry. The food was OK. Those who had steaks said they were very nice but not overly warm and were cold by the time they were halfway through. It was a very expensive and disappointing meal.

Unreal steak, absolutely unreal!!!
