The food was good but not phenomenal. A little too pricey for lunch sandwiches. I got the falafel sandwich and fries and it was good. The falafel was cooked really well, which is sometimes difficult for restaurants to do.

Everything was delicious and the waitress was very polite and attentive.

Quaint, as a tourist, I loved that it felt like a neighborhood hangout. My husband and I split the gyro meal. Served on the best naan, it was fresh and flavorful. And then, there was the "seasoned rice"... cool, gummy and crunchy. I ate the 3-4 spoonfuls that I took from my husband's plate. After picking out several hard pieces of rice, my husband said he couldn't it anymore. Yes, we should have sent it back or, at least, informed the restaurant...but we are not those kind of patrons. Writing this review is even really hard for me but.... Three hours later my husband was extremely sick, two hours later I joined him. We spent the last night and all of the following morning of our vacation in the bathroom emptying the contents of our stomach!!! I think my Fitbit tracked 10,000 steps that night alone. Afraid to continue this experience on our impending flight home, we downed OTC medicine to halt the "explosions" A day later, when I could finally stay out of the bathroom for more than 15 minutes, I slept for 12 hours. I lost 2 pounds in three days! If I could give a ZERO rating, I would!!!

We split Stephens Greek special platter along with a cocktail each. Simply, it was excellent. Service was very good, but perfunctory. The server did their job well, but there was little human touch. Nonetheless, a five.

Marvelous cuisine and friendly staff. My gyro was perfection, so that's my recommendation.

Joey Espinosa

Delicious (but pricey for lunch). The Greek salad had way more gyro meat than I expected.

Best Greek food in this hemisphere. Lots of seafood options as well. Greek chicken & potatoes never gets old for me all soups are the best ever.

If i could rate this place 0 stars, i would. A complete disappointment. Tried to have a nice lunch on Second Sunday which quickly turned into the worst restaurant experience in my life. After sitting for 30 minutes, we finally received our drinks. After sitting for one hour and fifteen minutes, three of the people we were sitting with received their food. Ten minutes later two more people received food at our table( the wrong food) After five minutes, and a very angry customer, i finally received my food, cold. I immediately asked to speak to the manager because i was extremely disappointed. He proceeded to tell me he would talk to me at my table, he didn't come. I then went back to ask for him... after he finally came out. He told me to "calm down" and talked over me as i was discussing my complaints. He comped two of the meals because they were wrong. Our food was cold. Athen, the manager, was terrible. I hope they have a change in management. Our sweet waitress deserved a better manager. She tried her hardest to help us out. Would not suggest eating here.

Old town grill&sea food is a Greek restaurant! Good portion size and u get a good value. Average price, food is tasty, beef I liked the most. U can order the platter with beef, lamb, chicken and pork plus fries only $30 good for 2 hungry person. Staff is nice and friendly! Service very fast, high speed WiFi!

Looking for a place to eat downtown while visiting from Jacksonville there was a lot of traffic, both walking and driving and some really high priced pretentious places to eat. We ventured on until we came to a less traveled relaxed area and saw Old Towne. We were not disappointed. The lemon chicken soup was amazing with Nicely done calamari and the best Greek potatoes! The server was on top of things and the price was right! Great job Old Towne!

Horrible service. $29 Lamb kebab was so tough that I suspicion it was not lamb. I eat a lot of lamb and trust me I’ve never had lamb that was this tough. Our other entrée was definitely not worth the money we paid. Would not recommend

Ordered the bacon wrapped crab stuffed jumbo shrimp and it was not edible. The bacon had a strange wang to it that made me wonder if it was bad. When I took the bacon off, I discovered a tiny shrimp and breading. Very disappointing. They need to up their game to stay open on King Street.

I can't speak highly enough!! As a child my family had a weekly ritual of dinner there on Friday nights(1979-1984) back when the Steve platters were actually a gigantic platter that GENOROUSLY fed a family of 4. Life changed a lot and it eventually stopped being our go to. Probably bc my brother and I aged into weekend social lives. Anyway.... Eventually they added a location in West Ashley (where Kicken Chicken is now) and it was a no brainer to have my wedding rehearsal dinner there. They bent over backwards to make the special night magical. Years after that my then husband and I lived in N Charleston. Again, we used the banquet room for his parents 70th joint birthday party. We already made it our go to for smaller gatherings of friends. No matter us the group was 10 or 30, the management made it an effortless event. Sadly over time both WA and NC closed. But even after a horrible fire downtown stuck it out through thick and thin. 25 years later as my 50th birthday approached I knew immediately where I wanted to have celebration. Old Towne! Yet again not only met but exceeded every expectation, allowed tremendous freedom, and accommodated any request I had. I met with mngr Mike Rutledge nearly a month out to look at space and decide what would go where and when, decorations, the way I wanted seating... Everything was followed to a T. We had a private bar and dedicated bartender who was funny as she was swift! The cocktail hour hors dourves were presented beautifully! We were having so much fun we decided to delay dinner buffet by a full hr... Again, response was "Not a problem, whatever we can do for you". Every question asked while planning, every change along the way, same response. Mike himself brought me my bday cake while guests sang so no guest would have to miss it. That's way over and above! My guests loved the space and being in the heart of downtown (lots of people from out of town) and those from here lived the trip down memory lane. The flavors of everything were just as we remembered from being kids! I can't begin to reccomended enough for your next event, bug or small, and certainly advise anyone reading this to check them out for a great family dinner or casual date. Loved everything, made a dreaded birthday the best night in years! Bravo to everyone who played a part!
