Tomahawk Steakhouse in Stockton-on-Tees

We visited as a party of five at 4 PM when the restaurant was not busy. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. One of our meals—a parmo—had to be sent back because it was pink. There was no apology, goodwill gesture, or even a simple acknowledgement of the issue. The replacement dish only arrived after the rest of us had already finished eating. Service throughout was poor; we were never asked if we needed more drinks or any extras. To then be automatically charged a service fee on top of an already expensive £200 bill was unacceptable—no one on the team earned that charge. The food itself was average at best and overpriced for what we received. Overall, it was a very poor experience, and we won’t be returning.

We were recommended to try Sunday lunch. We usually go to Muse which we can’t fault. Beef was great, pork was ok(some pieces were dry and no crackling). Veggies were poor. Roast potatoes and parsnips were just cooked and not crispy at all. Poor included sides choice. I don’t like swede but love red cabbage. However their red cabbage was so sweet it was inedible. The cauliflower cheese which we paid extra for was great as was the yorkie and gravy. It would be better to let people choose their sides which helps reduce food waste. The atmosphere was poor with a large table of loud individuals. Not Tomahawks’s fault but did affect our overall enjoyment. Overall score of 3 ( I give Muse 5 - similar beef quality, better veggies and atmosphere)

Sunday dinner was great. Staff were very attentive.

Rump steak was ok which our son ate, but should be for the price (£27). Two of us had parmos which were OK while eating them but both of us suffered during the night and next day with upset stomach. Maybe coincidence but maybe the chicken. Staff were friendly and service was good.

Visited on sun 9th Feb 2025, was staying in Yarm celebrating a birthday. The day we were leaving we had a table booked.

This is a great steakhouse with a great selection of dishes. The menu is fairly simple and focuses mainly on steaks with a couple of chicken dishes and other alternates. As with any steakhouse there isn't a huge number of options if you're not a meat eater but you will find something. I had the crispy squid which is really tasty crispy batter on some squid pieces and is a good size for a starter. For main I had the steak parmo. The steak was cooked to order and correctly done. The parmo was really creamy and fresh. The place in general was kept jcirly clean and staff were as helpful as you'd want. I've been twice now and both times were good from that point of view too.

I really enjoyed their breakfast, and would certainly go again.

Very professional and high quality service. The food was to a brilliant standard and service from Cole, Seb, Radka and sienna. Made to feel very welcomed and supported whilst i was in.

Was Very professional by all staff , great food enjoyed the hospitality. Radka Cole Seb sienna All very good at there jobs

The workers Cole , sienna , radka and seb were brilliant, food came quick and was very nice . They were all very professional and kind.

Excellent atmosphere- Excellent Service - Excellent Food- Well done all the staff especially Sienna 👍

Great Atmosphere- excellent service from all the staff especially Sienna- Food was great definitely recommend a visit.

Absolutely delicious steak. The steak fillet mmm recommended 100% The macaroni cheese was unreal as well

Cole and Alice were very polite and professional It was busy but still received excellent food and service

Brilliant and fast service by Isabel and Alice, drinks and food were delicious absolutely no complaints. Will definitely come again.

It was not my choice to visit but I went along anyway. Average food for top price. Bland, grainy sauce with the crab cakes and a below average parmo with a very small portion of chips. It's not worth the money.

My expectations were very high , but was so disappointed, I had salmon ( which had 4 bones in it) the portion was poor for £28...broccoli rock hard, struggled to cut it with a steak knife, a couple of potatoes and a bit of white sauce with a few prawns in it...( made a sandwich when I got home)...my son and husband had steak which was very chewy...considering it's a steak restaurant very disappointed...the young staff are lovely can't do enough, would never return that's for sure

Just Awful. After eating here last Monday, we were all poorly during the night, yet the four of us came from different areas. I asked about the fly issues and really that should have been red flags from the start. Not a patch on the tomahawk at Potto. Absolutely SHOCKING please DO NOT USE. Spoke to the manager the next day and she was ABSOLUTELY USLESS.

Amazing Sunday roast sharing platter. Has a dedicated gluten free menu and can accommodate gluten free Sunday roast with gf Yorkshire pudding. Great service, we booked online and would recommend booking as it was busy.

I got the smallest cooked breakfast (small full English). I don’t like mushrooms nor black pudding and was not offered any replacement. I left hungry and unimpressed. The bacon was overcooked and toast was hard. It was £15 for this and a small coffee.

Absolutely lovely meal and well looked after!! Can't express enough how good it was to have the meal this evening after a long day at work!!

Fab food, didn’t realise they had a set menu on so that was lovely. We had lovely service from Lucy, Niamh and Cole. Couldn’t do enough! Thanks again,

Kaitlyn and Anais were amazing, wonderful service as always, they are always so attentive, and the food and drinks were lovely! I can’t wait to go again, the service is always wonderful!

Kaitlyn and Anais were outstanding, the food was impeccable would defo recommend upgrading to the wagu. I can’t wait to go back again couldn’t fault a thing. Service was fantastic

An amazing food experience the sharing platter is superb the staff are lovely the venue is very relaxed but well set out Great restaurant

Had a fantastic time yesterday celebrating our friends 60th birthday! Food absolutely delicious! Staff fantastic! Never had an empty glass!

Again, a wonderful meal for my partners Birthday. Food was just lovely, & the service as always....polite and professional. Thank you

Excellent food before comedy at Ripping Yarms

Went mid afternoon and were pretty much the only people there. Will go again one evening.

A solid night out. Steaks excellent as always. Service solid from beginning to end.

Very Average. We had been looking forward to going for a while. Downstairs is quite lively & loud, upstairs is more relaxed and pleasant. We had the mixed starter which was nice. The steak however was very average for a Steak restaurant. I went for the garlic sauce. This tastes like garlic butter melted with the same consistency. Very greasy. And expensive for what it is. Should at least be included. All in all, it was ok, but not value for money and not somewhere I would rush back to. On the plus side, service was good, all staff friendly and pleasant. Get there early if you are driving though, limited parking as it’s a busy vibrant high street.

Excellent food as always, service was a little slow for me but only because I was in a rush, I'm sure under other circumstances I'd have been fine with it.

Went during “restaurant week “ for 3 course option Good range of starters .aim course rump steak cooked perfect Overall great meal . Only minor nitpicking sauces cost a lot and the raspberry pavlova had no chantilly cream in it

Went to the vets with my daughter and then onto Blackberries with excellent choice of patisserie good selection of cheesecake, tarts etc.. Worth a visit.

Great relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and good food

Good food, great service from Niamh and Cole.

My partner & I went to Tomahawk on a Sunday evening for my birthday dinner. We booked in the morning and were welcomed to a lovely central table. Service from Lucy Murph was absolutely impeccable, we could not fault her. The food and drinks were delicious and I was made to feel very special on a quieter Sunday service. Would go back any time. Worth every penny!

Absolutely fabulous service and atmosphere. Our time was made perfect by our lovely waitress Fran, flawless friendly service. Based on her alone we would be back. The bottomless brunch is a fantastic offer, and even a couple of cocktails and the meal is more than worth it, having ate here outside of the offer. I can confirm the service was just as good, I had the chicken burgers my friend had the steak, both thoroughly enjoyed and the French martini and the espresso martini are amazing. Thank you Fran and Lucy Man for a wonderful time

What a fabulous experience Fran was fantastic Lucy Man was also really lovely Massive asset and we would come back just because of her! (Fran) Bottomless brunch was outstanding Lovely food Real cocktails Can’t wait to bring the girls back

Eddie was quality… keep up the good work drinks and food was unreal… Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a 10/10 meal and perfectly made cocktails…

Went to Tomahawk Yarm excellent service excellent food served by Libby anas & chore can’t recommend enough made our 35 year wedding anniversary, something special

Only complaint was portions were too big but that's just me others would cope!! Service was very good and friendly staff 👍

Took my dad here for a birthday lunch, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was cooked beautifully

Both had sirloin steaks both cooked to our liking staff very very attentive and chatty loved it

Best Team in Tomahawk Yarm, Cole, Sam, Libby and Sadie. Excellent staff very efficient polite and excellent customer service. The food was very delicious. I would recommend it everyone.

Been here 3 times, 2 times they have totally forgotten about our starters and 1 other time about our drinks. Good food though

Lovely food & great service by Niamh

Food was very average but the service was as expected. I wouldn't rush to go back again

First visit to a Tomahawk steakhouse.Had a chicken shawarma dish which was lovely and a Bailey's creme brulee. Pity the steaks are so expensive for what they are and the drinks are a bit pricey too.

I had a Porterhouse steak which was cooked to perfection with excellent service and a great atmosphere. The only unusual thing is they add a 10% service charge to your bill, then ask you if you want to remove it.

We were the only lunchtime customers! Staff polite and helpful.

Thanks to Cole for wonderful service for my friends 23rd birthday!! We had the best time!!! He made sure everything was perfect with our meal and ensured we always had drinks on our bottomless supper club

Really good food and absolutely fantastic service. Sadie and Lucy really looked after us. Won’t hesitate to return due to the great service received.

Great bar / steakhouse. Fabulous food and a great atmosphere!

Fantastic food,great service, and a lovely atmosphere.Well recommended if you are in Yarm.

We don’t meet up often but this made a great few days wonderful. The food was excellent and Amelia was such a lovely waitress. Great gluten free options. Thank you

The food was excellent. Very well presented and very tasty. Wagyo fillet was unreal. One to note - try the cookie dough desert!!!! Great service from Amelia

Was given 45 min to eat Sunday dinner then Bill was thrust on table ! Service in your face all the time rushing you to leave your table.been in far better restaurants for Sunday lunch Try elsewhere . Food was ok tho ! Just not a nice resturant .won't be returning here .there are far better restaurants in the area .

Been wanting to try this place for so long and it didn't disappoint,gorgeous food,great staff just wish we could of had room for dessert 😭🤣 would deffo recommend ☺️👍

Great Sunday dinner as always. Served by ruby she was attentive and helpful. Great food and overall experience. Ruby was a great staff member

Had a great experience at Tomahawk yesterday afternoon, out on business in the area & was recommended by many! The staff were welcoming & friendly, making sure you had everything you needed. Food was amazing, and will definitely return when we’re back in the area.

Great food and great service. Eddie B gave us a great service while Jake S supplied great drinks to the table. Best food in the high street.

Mint food and constant service from the staff. Best part was the cocktails… unreal need to come for often Jake and Eddie are outstanding staff.

Brilliant service by anais and kaitlyn and food was gorgeous. Wine was amazing,would recommend. We will back for lunch.

We had breakfast here today and what a wonderful dining experience. Our server Anais was attentive and friendly. And the food was delicious. We ordered the smaller full English's and Anais recommended we add the stuffed hash brown as an addition. We are glad we listened because it was unreal. Thank you Anais! We will be back!

Great atmosphere for a catch up with a mate. Service was absolutely spot on, drinks arrived promptly and really impressed with the speed of food coming out, we had our starters followed by our mains within 30 minutes of arriving. Credit to the staff who were all lovely, especially Anais who looked after us. She was very friendly and you could tell she genuinely cared about our experience as well as the other guests in the restaurant!

Great service served by Eddie and seb great all night I can’t even put it into 100 words how great it was will definitely come again

Lovely drinks and fast service from Eddie and Seb. Always offered another drink once ours were empty! Made the night very enjoyable.

Fast friendly service from Amelia. As soon as we sat down she made us feel welcome and was very quick and efficient with service. 10/10

Great host, great food. Will come again. King prawn fajitas were spot on. Happy Easter, praise the lord Jesus Christ xxx

Came for birthday celebrations, service was good considering how busy it was. Got a birthday board which was lovely. Enjoyed our time. Thanks to Eddie and Seb.

Fantastic service from Cole Eddie Seb and Kaitlyn! A friend and I visited to try their bottomless supper! Fantastic service from start to finish kept us topped up the whole time! Shout out to the kitchen team for superb food during what seemed to be a busy period! Will be back!

Amelia Sam, Cole and fran did a great job serving us and were pleasant people. Great job overall and each of them deserve praise.

Great service from Sadie, Izzy and Sam! Perfect food and great chat! Lovely steaks and great cocktails! Had to take some food in a doggy bag because portion sizes are so great value for money

Went during the day, so it was very quiet. Only my son and I in. Staff attentive. Had steak, chips, and onion rings. My son took me as a Mother's Day treat. Lovely steak but was extremely expensive.

Great steaks, lovely cookie dough dessert! Really enjoyed the meal and the cocktails were great too, especially English Garden and Zombie!

Lucy, Niamh and Sam are superb staff and a credit to Tomahawk Yarm. 👍🏻 me and a friend both had a fillet a piece and it was lovely.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Food was delicious and plentiful, great atmosphere. Our server Anais was extremely friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

good food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, plenty drinks to choose from and the food service was fast. will come again

Excellent service from Eddie and Kaitlyn gorgeous food as always . Ver good atmosphere and the three course lunch special is a very good offer

Yarm is a lovely town, easyish parking after 6pm, and free. We were greeted and escorted to our table. Inside Tomahawks was a little noisy, but 6.00 that’s expected. My personal preference is music in the background, it was a little too loud for me. Again, just my personal opinion. The drinks turned up and we ordered the food. There’s a fair selection, but you wouldn’t expect many vegetarian dishes at a place like this. The Wagyu burger was spot on. Ordered with chunky chips, brisket and bacon topping. What a mess, in a good way. My Mrs shared a sharing steak platter with my son. It looked great, but for nearly £70, it should be. We only had a main meal and 1 drink each. The portion sizes are a little small for the prices, maybe 20% off. Given a service charge of 10% is automatically added to your bill. This is optional, but personally it should be capped at £10. We paid £17 service charge. Maybe I’m just tight . All in all, a great evening. Good food, great family meal to celebrate my sons 19th.

I came to tomahawk yarm for a quick dinner treat. Upon arrival I was informed it was restaurant week. My waiter Eddie kindly let me order all my 3 courses at once which was fantastic I was over my dinner hour. Great food and even...

We chose Tomahawk, Yarm on recommendation to celebrate our son’s 18th birthday. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Izzy! Delicious food with excellent service - we will be returning soon.

Booked in for the Restaurant week menu, 3 courses for £20. Absolute bargain. Food was absolutely delicious. And the service was fantastic. Izzy was really friendly and helpful, I am not able to eat full meals so when I told her that I would be...

Food was cooked perfectly, staff were friendly, will definitely be back again

We enjoyed our evening served by cole, he was lovely throughout the drinks and evening. He was a great addition to our night

Cole was amazing he got everything spot on couldn’t recommend anywhere more ! The best service and lovely food. Will definitely be back x

Went to tomahawk yarm for Mother’s Day. Sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious. Lovely pork with crispy crackling, plus roasties, Yorkshire’s and lots of lovely fresh vegetables. . Good service and lovely friendly staff. Have been before and will definitely be going again.

Parmo and fillet were brilliant, as was the servive and drinks, I gave the atmosphere 5 as we were the only 2 in and were are great company.

The food was great, and so was the service, but the atmosphere was a bit loud. We really enjoyed the food, it was well cooked and tasty

Loved our meal here and cannot wait to return easy 5 stars and one of the staff was really nice with our granddaughter worth leaving the tip on the bill for this alone.

The steaks are generally good but the menu is not especially great value, though the hash brown brisket side dish is really nice. I'd recommend the breakfast over the lunch or dinner. We ordered the seafood platter and were disappointed to find out they'd left off the oysters. They told us after the fact that oysters weren't available, which is something we'd rather know when ordering.

Went with my mum for her birthday dinner. Lovely food, nice atmosphere, decent service. My fillet was cooked to perfection and a beautiful cut, was like butter to eat 🥰

Great food, service and ambience

Had the ribeye steak rare, it was very very tasty. Have to say they did the steaks a couple of degrees colder than ordered. So a medium was more like a medium rare and a medium rare was more like a rare. For me that's just great, but it's just a heads up. I'll definitely visit here again if I'm close to Yarm.

Took my son for a nice steak, service was top quality, the food was amazing and the dessert managed to find some room in there somewhere. Absolutely would go again!

Very nice place, a bit pricey. Service is superb. The food is good but not superb.

I tried their January special which is 3 courses for £20. Steak dish just included fries, but I upgraded to chunky chips and extra sides were chargeable. Must say, the rump steak was perfect medium rare and the most tenderist rump steak I've ever eaten in a restaurant, amazing 👍

I have very rapidly become a regular here and I would go do far as to say, I've eaten here more than most! Yet again tonight, amazing food, great prices and the staff are fantastic, so friendly, accommodating and polite. Tonight, served by the lovely Sadie who, like them all to be honest, is non stop! They all seem to really enjoy their work and have a passion for it which I think says a lot for management! Honestly, I struggle to recommend any particular meal on the menu and I've made it through most of them! The Dim sum, in my photos, are delicious. Parmo croquettes are amazing wagyu meatballs are delicious! The mains, my favourite has got to be the beef Thai curry! Honestly, I don't think you get better in a genuine Thai place but I can guarantee that the sliced steak is far better! If you like your steaks, I would highly recommend the Chateaubriand is amazing and with the 4 sides, easily enough for two big eaters! Let's not forget, the night life! Best place in yarm, open until 2am!!

It's ok. Seems like it's not as good as it used to be, before the lockdowns. Service is functional but not especially friendly. I think they forgot to put our main meal order through, so we waited a long time (though we did get a free round of drinks as a result). They always add a service charge to the bill and tell you that you can have it taken off if you don't want to pay it; not a fan of doing it this way, seems as though it's designed to send you on a guilt trip. Food is average but the cocktails are lovely. I don't think we will back in a hurry, at least not to the Yarm restaurant.
