Super fun vibe on the outside patio sitting by the fire. Taco Tuesday didn't disappoint. Loved the ground beef tacos and my friend loved the calamari tacos. Can't wait to try other items next time.

Great restaurant! But they need more staff. A bartender should be behind the bar at all times.

We brought the family to celebrate my grandma’s 75th birthday, and everything was perfect! Mike and our other server (I wish I got her name) were so kind and attentive — they truly made my grandma feel special. Great food, great energy, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Thank you! 😊

I absolutely LOVE Old City Hall Restaurant!! They consistently serve up great tasting food, and the staff members are always friendly and amazing. I’m intrigued with the building and nostalgic vibe.

They have a large menu offering starters, salads, house soups, beef, pork, chicken, Old City Hall Specials, seafood, pasta, sandwiches and burgers, wraps, kids meals, and tasty desserts!

Old City Hall has a full bar with dining, patio seating, and an upstairs area equipped to host the ultimate party.

I encourage you to give them a try!

I’m sure it was particularly slow due to Tamale Festival & Car show but the place was dead when we got there. One other set of customers, which was as a couple (who ALREADY had their food when we got there) and then myself, husband, and 2 year old son entered and sat down. Our orders were taken and then the owner comes to our table and asks if we’re parked out back. Seemed like he was on a mission to make sure only paying customers were using their parking.. Weird, but OK.. The waiter was nice and tentative, but the food took FOREVER to get to our table, at least 20-30 mins (again, no other people in the restaurant at this point) He brought my son’s food first because you know, impatient 2 year olds and we are giving him snacks from home at this point trying to keep him happy. I thought that was nice of him, as we try hard to keep him entertained rather than giving him a screen. Upon setting down his plate of food, the waiter says “I’m gonna give you guys a 25% discount because that took way too long and you have a VERY patient and behaved little guy.” Okay sweet, thanks! THEN, I start cutting into my son’s pancake and it is completely RAW inside, I mean, still cold pancake batter. I was irritated at this point. A waitress came and asked how things were and I sent the whole plate back. They bring his eggs and sausage back, and she starts commenting how hungry he is (he’s ravenously eating his eggs at this point) I said “YEAH, we’ve been waiting a long time.” Finally they bring my husbands food, and then mine. Husband says his was OK but he’s not one to complain. I ordered MEDIUM steak and eggs, and when I tell you this steak was nearly a piece of jerky, I’m not kidding. They ended up also bringing my son a bowl of fruit (which they didn’t charge us for) and then a new (cooked) pancake. Overall service was OK, but the food and wait time was absolutely ridiculous. Atmosphere was also outdated, musty upon entrance, and lacked luster for such an important building of the city. Will NOT be going back.

We went here for dinner. I had Shrimp Scampi and my husband had Calamari Steak. I'm used to Scampi having a prominent white wine and garlic flavor. This version was bland. The sauce was mostly butter with a hint of wine. I wouldn't order it again. My husband loved his Calamari Steak, which did have a lot of garlic.
