   Food was great and as expected. Standouts for appetizers were the pork belly and pretzels. The steak Mac had so many layers of flavor and was unctuous. The pork tenderloin was a bit too overcooked but still a great bite. Polenta cake that accompanied the poke was crispy on outside and creamy within. Lovely dinner.

   Varied menu and great tasting food. Drinks were good. Appetizers and entrees were presented well with little wait. Service was outstanding.

   We were a party of 7, the service was incredibly slow. The appetizers we ordered were good but the meals were just average. Nice atmosphere

   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.

   It was a lovely time out at the old jailhouse, food was perfect, staff was kind and helpful. we had the chicken gnocchi for our main and it was big enough to share between two people! The creme brûlée was perfect way to finish the meal. We will definitely come back when we’re in the area again!

   We had the shrimp skewers with mashed potatoes, a steak sandwich which was so big, he had leftovers, chicken, and gnocchi. Food was good. Server was not very attentive, so we had to flag her down several times. The building is really an old jail with the bars and cells still there. It wasn’t very crowded, so noise level was very low.

   Always my go to for dinner when hanging in Sanford. We all enjoyed our meals and the delicious apple pie dessert. Service was perfect. It's not easy dealing with a large group but we had no issues. I had the steak which is always good. Never disappoints.
