    If you sit away from the bar, it's chill and the food is good. However, I took a star away because the place smelled like plug-in vanilla scented air fresheners, which is both totally gross to smell while you're eating in addition to being migraine-inducing. Be careful if you're sensitive to fragrance.

    We went out for dinner to celebrate my husband‘s birthday, as well as go to a show at the grand, shortly after we sat we were asked if we were ready to order which of course we weren’t. We had two minutes to look at the menu our waitress, kinda huffed at us left and then came back in like five minutes, and we still weren’t ready, and she huffed again. She was very impatient, and it felt like she was rushing us to eat and get out of the door, even though it wasn’t very busy in there. The ribs came out cold, and the hamburger was a premade patty which we expected it to be a hand patties burger. The french fry portion was kid size. The only good thing that we enjoyed was the drinks at the bar when we had a different person serving us.

    Everything we had was just fine. Seem to be good quality and prepared well. We just all were very disappointed as we enjoyed the old townies menu and their choices more than the new menu. Bring back the avocado salad. And jerk chickenn

    It was our first time. There was a nice variety of selections. Our food was good and we're looking forward to a return visit to try something else. All the staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful.

    Had a great table outdoors so we could listen to our favorite band at the 400 Block. Waitress whose name I do not know and did not wear a name tag was wonderful. She was pleasant, patient and attentive. Food was ok, Chicken sandwich and Pasta with shrimp. The drinks were great and making a reservation via Open Table was a breeze.

    Food was great just wish our outdoor table wasn’t so slanted on the curb. It was a little uncomfortable to sit like that.
