We went yesterday for my dad’s birthday and the food � was amazing, it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it. I have to say the best seafood restaurant I been so far. The service was great and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommended this place. My family and relatives really enjoy it, it’s was a bit far but the experience is worth it.
Great night, good atmosphere, delicious food - seafood platter tasted so fresh. Great work Tommy and staff!!!
Wait staff were great. Highly recommend.
Amazing food. I love the taste the freshness. Def go back a million times. The crab hotpot was amazing. We went to the one in Mordialloc. Staff was bubbly and helpful. Nice decor too.
4.5/5
Super fresh and tasty! Calamari was really soft and well cooked, garlic prawns delicious! Grilled fish was fresh but not as tasty as the other 2. Well worth a visit, really good menu, has hunky dory covered I think.

I’m slowly working my way around the Tommy Ruff menu and after five visits, there’s nothing I don’t enjoy here. Some highlights of my meal:
- I almost never order drinks for weekday dinners, but the pear cider at Tommy Ruff is an exception. Refreshing and perfect for the summer
- Onion rings are awesome if you prefer the type with thinner batter. I would have preferred onion rings with a more crumbed exterior but my partner enjoyed this version which looked like potato crisps.
- Appreciate the thematic and distinct decor at Tommy Ruff. They use fish jugs and even their washrooms are decorated with seashells. Brownie points for creativity right there
- They don’t just get their ambience right as their food is equally top notch. I’ve always gone for the tackle box for 2 - comes with a good array of seafood and fries that one will struggle to finish. The fish itself is fresh and the batter is just nice. Calamari rings and fried prawns are also really good - the crunchy exterior is not too oily and very enjoyable with tartare sauce.
- At the end of the meal, wet tissues are provided (yay!)
They also sell healthier seafood meals such as seafood chowder and grilled fish with salad. If you come as a group, you should order the chef’s platter. Dinner for 3 would set you back $20-30pp. I would definitely be back - perhaps to try their healthier options. Thanks for the wonderful meal!!

Comfortable spot for some delicious fish and a variety of sides, from tasty salads to super crunchy sweet potato chips. The atmosphere and decor, complimented by the wonderful staff rounds out a great spot for a casual meal.
Service and food are both good. The waiters and waitress are patient and nice.
I'm not usually a big fan of fish and chips but this place does it very well! Great fish and chips, not all greasy, very fresh and very tasty! Friendly service, great menu, plenty to choose from. Southern fried fish tacos were awesome! MEOW!

A seafood lovers dream! Tommy Ruff has been on my radar for a long while, and so when presented with the opportunity to go with two friends, it was a no brainer. From the outset of entry, staff are quick to greet and ensure you are well informed of the menus choices. We already knew what we were after today, which was the Chef's Platter- a very popular dish on social media which is how we found out about Tommy Ruff!
The platter had it all. Scallops, prawns, oysters, fish, salmon, fish tacos, fish burgers, chips and dips... All to which were fantastic. We loved the myriad of varying flavours across each fish- pan fried, cooked, fried, etc, made the meal seem so fresh after every bite. The flavours here are a big win, with the quantity perfect for three people despite being named a platter for two. You can tell the seafood is fresh here, and the ingredients used are carefully selected- as each bite left an abundance of flavours for you to enjoy.
Great assortment of seafoods, and perfect if you are after a seafood banquet. Great flavours, service, and an experience overall- highly recommend!

Quality seafood
Everything I ate was fresh and cooked to perfection
Atmosphere was fantastic place was buzzing
Seafood platter for two was generous, was unable to finish
The southern fried chicken was exactly what I felt like, fatning, but still seafood!
Service was prompt
Will be back

I was super impressed with the vegan options at Tommy Ruff!
We tried the TOFU CURRY, which was my favourite. So flavoursome, with generous amounts of veg and tofu inside. The POKE BOWL was also great!! With a rainbow of veg, guac, seaweed and tofu. The FRIES were cooked to perfection hehe. Would definitely go back and eat all of these dishes again!
The décor and vibe at the Windsor location is really cool too. Would be great to bring a friend or a date ;)
Tommy Ruff is a lively place with excellent food. They have lots of seafood options and some specials as well. My dinner companion had fish cooked in Thai style (with satay). It looked great
My pictures attached are of my calamari with salad and chips. I would definitely visit again for the excellent food and the welcoming and friendly staff members. They have a few dining areas : outdoors, indoors and out at the back (for those of us who prefer to be in a COVID-safer ambiance). The toilet was reasonably clean.
I was here on a week-night and the place was busy, but with no waiting time.
Amazing food and customer service is out of this world. Special thanks to Riley for the great hospitality, kindness and his knowledge with the menu. Keep up the great work guys. New regular.
We were excited to try the Windsor store after visiting Mordialloc last year. The standard was maintained and we enjoyed the Chef's Platter ($100) between 4-5 of us. It included lots of items including crumbed fish, grilled fish, calamari rings, salt and pepper calamari, mussels, and grilled prawn skewers to name a few. The seafood chowder and fish tacos were also great.
We walked in and got a window seat on the inside. The passion fruit cider was so good I had to get a few bottles to take home. Note takeaways are the same price as off the menu.
We had oysters to start and shared the chowder and southern fried fish. Everything was really tasty.
Service was friendly even though there seemed to be less staff. A good night out
First time attending Tommy Ruff and the whole experience was great! Was welcomed by a friendly face. Staff was amazing and friendly. Kindly offered recommendations to a first timer. Ordered Chef's Platter for 2 and the food was amazing! Quality is great and tastes amazing! Would highly recommend!
THE best seafood in the area. I usually order via Uber eats on lazy days - I’m 1.6kms away but the order always arrives fresh, hot and delicious. My go to is the Aussie angler, as the pic shows is a generous portion with the Greek salad which is ultra fresh and sometimes 2 for the price if 1…massive bonus!!
Lovely seafood restaurant and friendly for doggy. Thumbs up👍. Worthy of five stars. Service is great.
