About Old Town Kitchen & Bar

Old Town Kitchen & Bar offers delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Standout dishes include the pastrami cheeseburger, Mac and cheese with shrimp and crispy jalapeños, and garlic fries. The restaurant has a rustic look and a cozy, homey feel, with a small space that feels intimate. The service is friendly, polite, and professional, and food is served quickly. Background music adds to the relaxing vibe. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service.

Recent visitors praised the apple cider and poblano ranch dressings, calling them delicious. The steak bites were well seasoned and juicy, and the fries, though slightly salty for some, were well cooked enough to enjoy without extra salt. Burgers and pasta, like chicken marsala, were described as filling and tasty. The roasted chicken and steak also received positive comments. Several guests enjoyed the turkey BLTA and tri tip sandwich, though some wished the bread had been toasted. The tri-tip Burger, served with sweet barbecue sauce, was noted to be good, but the sauce was seen as detracting from the flavor by one reviewer. The cheesecake was described as well balanced. One customer shared that their salmon with creamy mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and gravy was one of the best meals they had in a long time, and their grandson enjoyed the chicken paccata, which they plan to try themselves next time.

Reservations are accepted and should clearly state the purpose, especially for group dinners like baby showers. The restaurant is accommodating but has had some misunderstandings when reservations were made for non-dining meetings or gatherings. Once the staff understood the dinner plans, their attitude improved, and they were more accommodating. Guests can enjoy their meals in a cozy corner, with low noise levels for celebrations or meetings. However, it’s recommended to be clear about plans to ensure proper service.
