Delicious American food with influence from southern states . Tuna tartare and the bbq shrimp are very good. For the main, just have the trout - the best fish dish I ever had. Tasty, light and special!

AFAR Media

The food is always good and the staff always friendly . The menu has a Southern influence so you can expect to see barbecue shrimp , gumbo , hush puppies , and of course fried chicken . Read more

Fried green tomatoes are trending this week and there is no better place in the city to get them than Town Hall. Don't forget to order some delicious fried chicken with your tomatoes .

SFGate

Get the tuna tartare with fried green tomatoes and a Tabasco green onion vinaigrette , and Cajun seafood pot pie with both Dungeness crab and crawfish . Read more

PureWow

The butterscotch and chocolate pot de creme is butterscotch pudding layered over rich dark chocolate pudding , with shards of butter-crunch toffee on top. Need we say more? Read more

21 Oz Salmon for 2 feeds 4. Comes with 3 sides: spigarello, jambalaya and shishito peppers for $85. Jalapeño cornbread and beet salad appetizers .

Doug Washington and the Rosenthal Brothers have gone on to open Salt House and Anchor & Hope since Town Hall, but the original is still the crown jewel in their SoMa mini-empire. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Cute spot to grab a drink and some bites with friends. Spotty service, but delicious food. Beautiful space and great for groups early in the evening.

Mary S

Great cocktails . But quite expensive . Southern foods listed--didn't try the food but it sounded good. Come here for a special occasion

SFGate

Get the warm ham and cheese toast ; roasted veal meatballs ; buttermilk fried chicken ; barbecued shrimp ; butterscotch and chocolate pot de creme . Read more

Karsten

Great fried chicken ! Amazing ham and cheese toast ! The pot de creme is good, if you have a major sweet tooth!

Megan Allison

Pimiento cheese : so weird, yet so classic. Pair with a dirty martini , sit at the bar and get in & out fast.

Jacob Rosenberg

Outstanding cocktails and great food. Biscuits and fried chicken an especial favorite.

Douglas Gray

Their bowl of butterscotch and chocolate creme dessert is deep enough to drown the sorrows of Oedipus.

Jeb

Burger with avocado is great. Pickled okra and jalapeño cornbread are my fave appetizers .

Benjy Weinberger

Play Jenga with the ribs .

Jon Laws

They have recipe cards for some of their dishes up front. Be sure to grab the recipe for their BBQ shrimp !

Renée Vargas

Their old fashions are infused with bacon and aren't very good. Lots of other good cocktails to choose from.

Reserve

House-smoked St. Louis ribs come with Texas Jack BBQ sauce , corn muffin and coleslaw in one epic entrée that seems to have it all. Read more

Epicurious

Meet-n-greet your neighbors, Southern-style, at a communal table in this trendy BBQ restaurant . Dishes like warm Bakewell cream biscuits with Smithfield ham and pepper jam are true comfort classics.

Shannon Coulson

Do yourself a favor and get the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich - it's amazing.

Gary

The wine list is excellent and the food is outstanding! Sumptuous and enjoyable comfort food .

Maher Jabr

Flew in from the east coast and went straight here. 3 apps at the bar with tasty cocktails . Great time. Very friendly service . Definitely going back when I'm in town again.

herm pugay

It's good for small groups and Bday parties. I had a spicy seafood dish

R Williams

Very good southern food with friendly service in a trendy setting.

Reserve

Served with Worcestershire sauce and garlic herb toast , the BBQ shrimp dish makes a bold starter. Read more

Farhan Memon

If you don't eat pork this place is not for you. Almost every main course had an element of pork (bacon , ribs , chorizo etc)

Shina

Great spot for lunch or a after-work drink. Lovely staff !

Justin Sullivan

I had the sausage kebab pita . Delicious but I think I could have chosen better.

Heather Foeh

Make a reservation ! This place is popular and you're not going to get a seat without one.

Cat Reynolds

The Quail with Morels = delicious plus leave room for dessert . Ricotta Panacotta was one of the best desserts I've had in months.

Alex Silarajs

Buttermilk biscuits , prosciutto de parma, red pepper jelly ...sounds strange but it's one of my favorites.

SFGate

New American dishes with a large dose of the South and New Orleans. Check out their Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/townhallBBQ) for info on the seasonal lunchtime BBQ . Read more

Michelle McCabe

Faith's warm ham and cheese toast , poached egg and jalapeno cream is incredible comfort food at it's best!!!

catherine

Smoke'n Barrel happy hour from 4-6. $5 wine , $5 pulled pork/cornmeal fried oysters/chicken wings/sausage jambalaya and large plates

C S

Ribs , butter cookies with ham tasting platter

Kimberly Miyamoto

Pappardelle and the holiday bread pudding .

Chad Cooper

The etouffee is decent, but a little too runny, needs salt, and the shrimp in it have the heads still on them which is weird in an etouffee . I enjoyed the dinner though.

Rob J

Classy joint , homey . Pliny by the bottle and some delish Vino .

Tim Haines

Bbq shrimp was totally unexpected and delicious.

Turbo Tats

The oysters are perfect, do yourself a favor and order a dozen. They may be expensive , but you won't regret it.

Tina T

Do not fill up on bread if you get the BBQ shrimp appetizer . You will need it to mop the plate. Its killer. Not a spec of sauce to be found on the plate.

Lisa S.

Just do happy hour to avoid unsavory service by hostess and manager. Manager may bust you for ordering a drink at the bar for happy hour if you're eating in main dining area.

Megan Delaney

Hope to see you all at Town Hall's Annual Mardi Gras Extravaganza!! All you can eat and all you can drink only $70 at the door!! Plus, a LIVE band and dancing ! Let the good times roll!!!

Matteo Fabiano

Always solid. Never disappointing. An institution.

Amy B

Happy Hour food & drink specials . Excellent food all around.

Zach Knox

Great drinks. Sometimes slow service, but it's always friendly .

Mark Jansa

Amazing cocktails served by Kevin. Go off menu ...

Great bartenders, great drinks, and super fun vibe! Can get a little crowded so get there early if you can!! It''s pricey, $30 for a shot of scotch - 18 year I think, but otherwise good ambiance. - Jenn
