Staff was very professional. I just wanted a quiet table for 1. No questions asked they showed me to a lovely out of the way table. Knew just when to check on me and when to leave me alone. Packaged leftovers beautifully.

AMAZING food. I only wish I had room for dessert. Next time for sure. We got the corn bread and biscuits to start, Fried chicken and waffle to share, as well as a salad and Mac & Cheese. Everything was outstanding.

I enjoy this restaurant a lot, the building and inside space are very attractive. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I do find it extermely noisy; simple table-talk is difficult with the ambient noise of other people simply talking to each other at their tables. Noise abatement on the walls or ceilings would help this significantly. The food is very good, but $21 for a moderately size bowl of farrow with no meats is exorbitant, considering the restaurnt does not provide anythin like bread, breadsticks, etc. to nosh while waiting for your order. Our order consisted of two items, farrow and gumbo (mixed - all proteins), and the cost was $61.76 (!!!) with a 20% tip, becasue the staff is not responsible for the costs, noise, or offerings (or lack thereof). The food can take a while to be served; we ordered prior to noon and waite almost 20 minutes for our two orders farrow and the gumbo.

Enjoyed another fantastic business lunch at Town Hall today, having the Fried Chicken Sandwich, and also the Burger. Both were very well-prepared and delicious, as always! Looking forward to a return visit soon, maybe try some other dishes along the way.

The Sunday "meat and 3 sides" is a fantastic bargain. We had attended a jazz concert and arrived early as the restaurant was opening. The hostess and servers were very accommodating as they prepared for the evening. As we were the only customers for about 30 minutes, the atmosphere was quiet. The food was well prepared and overly generous. The butter lettuce salad was one of the best I've ever tasted. Our dessert was packaged for us to take home because we were unable to eat any more. Try this offering when you have the chance!

Been here 4 or 5 times, every time the food and staff have been great. This last time the staff were so friendly they outshone the food. Which is saying something. Go! you will not be disappointed.

Service and food were good. Venue is very noisy. It’s probably the building structure or wall material. It makes having a conversation difficult.
