"The Olde Town Hall Restaurant Pub tries to do too much. They have a rather extensive menu that runs from Chicken wings to Shrimp Grits; from a BLT to stuffed Meatloaf. Picky eaters have plenty of choices. We had Fried Green Tomatoes and Mozzarella sticks to start. Mozzarella sticks were good and exactly what you expect. The Fried Green Tomatoes were very good, they are served over grits and with some brown gravy. It is a different take than most Lowcountry versions. It will not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it. I also think that as the base for the Shrimp Grits, that will make for a nice dish to try. For Entrees the Cranberry Fields salad was a nice choice with fresh greens and dried cranberries. The fish and chips says cod on the menu. However, the fish served was not cod. Further it was corn breaded and fried like catfish. If you want a traditional fish and chips, this is not your choice. I will say that the flavor was good, but it would not have been my choice if I had realized it was to be a cornbread breading. Next was the BLT. This was a shambolic imitation of this classic sandwich. The bacon was under-cooked and tough. The wait staff did not understand why we wanted cripsy bacon, even though the menu clearly says Crispy Hickory smoked, thick sliced bacon... They offered to bring some crispy bacon to the table, but made it seem like it was a big imposition. By the time they offered their fix , the kids were too tired. Nothing further from the staff other than here is your check. Should have offered to fix a new fresh sandwich to match the menu and make it to go, or take it off the bill. Both were refused. I gave the service because the hostess was helping with drinks and the kitchen had a staff member running plated. So there was a nice bit of teamwork there. My overall impression is that there is a lot of potential in the Olde Town Hall, but someone else will need to find it."
