What a great mid-week dinner we had here. Cool interior with a lot more seating than there first seems to be. I would say the restaurant was about 75% full when we went. Our waitress Jade was very helpful and made sure we had an excellent meal, which we did. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty and well executed. Will highly recommend the Jailhouse to anyone. Can’t wait to come back.
Amazing dinner: The shrimp skewers were outrageous! The salmon was out of this world! We started with a plate of french fries as an appetizer. Yes, it's not listed as an appetizer, but they accommodated! Staff were extremely friendly and again the food was just amazing! Oh! And Gluten Free Options! Ambience within the restaurant is great. Seeing the old brick and old paraphernalia really made it a nice experience. It is not old and dirty, it is old and classy. Yes, for an old jail it is classy. Really loved everything! And it was great to hear some history from our server.
This place is hands down my favorite in Downtown Sanford for a great dinner, and we come here regularly. The Jailhouse hits all the right marks with its dynamic menu that shifts with the seasons. The food is consistently fresh, top-notch in quality, and bursting with deliciousness. I can't say enough about the consistently friendly and spot-on service we've always received.
I usually go for the NY Strip, which is always cooked to perfection with great flavor. They offer some unique drink options that also change from time to time. My personal favorite is the Brake Fluid, and they had a seasonal one called the Witch’s Trial – which should stay on the menu, in my opinion!
We've tried several other items from the menu, and you can't really go wrong here
The overall atmosphere of the place is really unique. I loved all the exposed brick and original structure. The restaurant looks small but goes pretty far back and has outside seating as well.
We stopped in for lunch and got some food off their lunch specials menu. It was pretty pricey. I got the chicken sandwich with fries, which while it was very tasty, was not fitting to the price. They were 2 small sliders with small pieces of chicken.
The beer selection was really nice and they had a decent cocktail menu.
I’d recommend going for dinner, as they have a lot more options.
The Old Jail House is a has great food and great armosphere in downtown Sanford. The menu is small, but the flavor and execution of the dishes is on point. Also, had a old fashioned cocktail that exceeded my expectations. The way the incorporate tge jail theme throught the restaurants is brilliant. Reserve a table days in advance on the weekends or you may not be able to visit this gem.
Another favorite for Downtown Sanford: The Old Jailhouse. Our dinner was excellent and the service was top notch. Our waitress recommended dishes and they did not disappoint. Mark, GM, came to our table to greet himself and made us feel at home. Had the pork belly, croquettes, Black N Blue, and the Citrus Grilled Shrimp Skewers. Finish with the Espresso Crème Brûlée
Attended a baby shower at The Jailhouse for my daughter. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful. The atmosphere of the room was wonderful and everyone had a great time! I would recommend using The Jailhouse for your next private event.
