The food is absolutely amazing! I have the nine iron with mushrooms perfectly cooked definitely recommend the sandwich. My friend ordered the pearl burger and she said it was absolutely amazing. We split a side of brussels sprouts definitely a must. The service was amazing, attentive recommended different foods and different drinks. A must visit if you’re anywhere near Cookesville

Wow, we loved it!! The atmosphere was great with wooden booths offset with colorful paintings and a great collection of wine corks. I had a great cheeseburger that was very flavorful with fresh toppings. The shoestring fries were even better with crunch and no grease. Laurie had a grilled cheese, which she loved and those great fries!

The restaurant was packed but yet the hostess found a chair for my 91 y/o mother, how astute and kind!! Thank you!! My mom asked if they had fresh brewed coffee and the waitress said it’ll take a minute but I’ll brew some for you! Mom ordered something, don’t remember exactly and the waitress recommended something else that was softer recognizing that my mom had dentures. And the food was great!! What amazing staff you have!! Great experience thank you!

Busy place too busy for me! Great bartender but we waited 20 minutes on an order. Then 20 more to order food. My.friend had a Reuben on pretzel bread very good. My highly recommended fish and chips were rubbery and inedible. The duck fat tater tots mediocre at best. Maybe we went on an off day

If you like salty food this is a place for you. Side of sautéed mushrooms tasted like cook opened salt shaker and poured it on. Bro in law and wife had roasted Brussel sprouts and full of salt. Mentioned it to our not so attentive waitress and she said "we like salt here". Highly disappointing.

TERRIBLE customer service. We visited for my mom birthday in March, got bad service then, didn’t listen to our order and it came out wrong. We decided to give them another try last night, same thing different night, except tonight they the same waitress handed our table off to the guy with a beard, looking at our table and giggling with other servers, other servers giving us looks when they walked by, to the point we felt so out of place that we got up and left, worried they would do something to our food. This is NOT how you treat customers!! Will NEVER go back and will make sure we will tell everyone we know as well.

I had seen really good reviews on Father Tom's Pub and thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the Reuban Sandwich and Sweet Potato Fries. I waited for longer than I thought I should have for my food as there was hardly anyone in the Pub. My sandwich was cold; the meat was so tough I had to cut it up with my knife; and it tasted like bologna. The fries were ok, but tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. My waitress never came back to check on me. I thought I might go back just to give them another try; but after reading several of the same experiences I've decided not to.

We went to Father Tom's based off of the consistently positive reviews. I, unfortunately, did not share the same experience as other reviewers. My wife's burger was ordered medium well but was burnt and charred to the point it was difficult to be eaten (she could only eat around the edges). My burger was ordered medium but actually served well done but not burnt. My "crispy" Brussel sprouts were charred to the point that they literally crumbled to dust if you picked them up. The server was friendly and asked if everything was okay as soon as the plates were presented to us and didn't return for an extended period of time or ask how the food was once we had a chance to try it until after we paid the check. My Old Fashioned was flawless and was the only thing that kept from completely ruining the experience.

We ate lunch outside on the "dogs welcome" patio, an oasis of plants and artwork. If I had to rank it, I'd say their basil syrup bourbon cocktail is top three among cocktails I've tasted! Food combinations were outside the norm of pub food, and clearly the work of an inspired chef. That taste matched the creativity. Server was kind and attentive, even though we were outside in the heat.

We were in town for one night and decided on Fr. Tom's for an early dinner. I ordered The Strange Brew (cheese soup) and daily beef special with mashed potatoes and crispy Brussel sprouts - delicious. Husband loved his pork, whatever it was. Someone is really throwing down in the kitchen here. The pretty bar looked like a fun place to be, but we chose outdoor seating and had a very nice evening. Ambiance here is nice, and was unexpected.

I would say I had a mixed experience. The food was pretty good, though the menu was a little more limited than I expected. I had the Ollie, and it was quite good, especially the pretzel bun. Fries were delicious. I did request bacon added, but it was left off which was a little disappointing. I would have said something about it, but, the main reason for the mixed review was the huge wait time (over an hour I would estimate). We did arrive right before lunchtime and did not have to wait for a table. However, it took a while to place our drink order then an even longer time for our food to arrive. The waitress was very kind and apologetic, but it still hampered our experience. Our food arrived at different times, which I personally never like since it's awkward to start eating before everyone else but also awkward to stare at your food while waiting for everyone else's to arrive. I'm sure there was a reason for the long wait, and I'd definitely be willing to give the place another try, maybe we just caught them at an off time.

By reading the reviews we decided to try Father Tom's. Unfortunately it did not meet our expectations based from the good reviews. My husband ordered the fish and chips. The portions were adequate unless you were hungry. The fish looked overcooked , my husband tried it and it was burnt. We asked the waitress what she thought, and she replied that that it looks burnt. (We are wondering why she even served it at that point ) She did offer to bring out a new batch of fish. When the new batch came out, it was still frozen inside and hard to chew. She never did followup to see if it was better or how everything was. I had the Nueban. It was ok, not great. I had the broccoli slaw which had absolutely no flavor at all. Was basically chopped up broccoli, no sauce, onions, etc. When we asked about different sauces i.e cocktail sauce, 1000 dressing or the equivalent, she said that they didn't have any. I would suggest that maybe offer up what types of sauces you do have. The waitress didn't seem to care to be there or whether we were happy or not. The atmosphere of the pub was fun and very nice but the food and service came out short. I don't like to write bad reviews but feel like we made an effort to remedy the situation, but the waitress was uninvolved. We do not plan on coming back.

We waited for 40 minutes for the waitress to tell us they were out of the chicken salad sandwich we ordered. An hour and half later the replacement chicken gyro we ordered came out with no chicken in it. The food was cold and the service was horrible.

We sat outside in the patio area because we had our dog with us. It was a heck of a hot day and as soon as we were seated, the server brought over ice cold water for us and a dog bowl. The area has grassy spots so it was nice on this hot day for our dog to be able to lay comfortably. We order two of the house salads and two appetizers. The server actually questioned our choices because she said the salads were pretty big. We went ahead with the order figuring we could take home the apps - which we did! The salads were fantastic. Crisp and cool. The appetizers we ate later (quesadilla and sliders) were really good as well. Overall very happy with our meal, the service and the spot. Thank you! Keep it up.

Really great spot to grab a beer and burger. Great selection of bourbon and whiskeys as well. They have a good-sized menu but not overwhelming. Great service and we felt well taken care of. Nice atmosphere with exposed brick and wood framing. There is an outdoor patio but we opted to dine indoors due to heat!
