Reviews Summary
Old Town Kitchen & Bar offers a welcoming atmosphere with generally delicious food, particularly noted for its Mac 'n Cheese and steak dishes.

"We easily found parking in their lot. We walked in and were seated immediately. My wife ordered the Mac and Cheese and I ordered basically a cheese steak without the roll and a salad on the side. She really enjoyed the Mac and Cheese and I loved the Cheese Steak filling which they house smoked the meat. It was delicious with the grilled onions and peppers. The salad was nice and I really liked the dressing too. I will definitely return when I’m in the area. Our server was excellent and accommodating. My only suggestion is that they offer sun dried tomatoes as a topping for the Mac and cheese."

"There were 6 of us, we had a little confusion amongst our family with what time to be there, despite it being empty, the server would not let my son sit at the table & wait. That’s fine, in my experience that’s a great opportunity to add on sales for the business when guests order appetizers, drinks etc while they wait for their family/friends to join.
But obviously this business is not there to excel, just to get by. Food was not very fresh, I had the Mac & cheese with tri tip, the tri tip was good. The pasta was too soft like it was in the water too long. Service was not the best. A lot of waiting. She was very nice although.
I do realize that in this small town a lot of these local restaurants, there is not much pride in guest service.
Won’t go back. Would rather go to Santa Barbara chicken ranch or shaws"

"Ordered the steak bites with salad and chose the apple cider dressing as well as the mushroom burger with well-done fries and a side of poblano ranch... Can't say enough about the apple cider and poblano ranch dressings. They were delicious. Steak bites were well seasoned and juicy. Fries were a bit salty for my taste but were so well cooked I could eat them with no salt and the dressings mentioned above. Will stop by this place any chance I get"
