The Old Jailhouse was highly recommended by a co-worker and the experience lived up to the recommendation. Very helpful and attentive staff, great service and food. Drinks were outstanding! Our group of friends were getting together for the first time in a couple of years and the staff was very accommodating, allowing us to stay long after we would have worn out our welcome in a less friendly and enjoyable establishment.

The server we had was overwhelmed. She forgot to check if our apps were delivered and then only brought one and not the other. We had to ask for everything a couple times.
