Old Town Dispensary

Decor is lovely, however the high narrow benches and tables make it hard to dine with children.  We ordered the truffle fries which were outstanding, the juicy Lucy burger which was great and the special falafel which I sent back because it was not cooked through (just raw slop on the pita).  I did not get anything to replace the special because it would have taken too long.  Other than the falafel drama the food was wonderful - just going to stick to burgers and fries from now on though!

I wanted to love this place because The Sage Room is my favorite restaurant and the chef has ties here.  The music and atmosphere were great.  There is no drink menu, so unless you know exactly what you want, the waitress isn't much help "we don't have any frozen drinks" ... The burger, with blue cheese, caramelized onions, and bacon sounded great.  Too bad my order of medium rare came out well done.  The side of onion rings were nothing special.  All the outdoor wrought iron tables and chairs were taken, and the planks serving as tables and benches were uncomfortable.  Overall, I can see why locals love it - you need to be known here.  Glad I tried it but won't be back.

This place is an amazing hole in the wall. Located in historic downtown bluffton, this Is a great local stop that has the best burger hands down In the area. Although once the bar lost Mel ( the English guy )I think this place lost its genuine local swagger and some of its qualities that made it such a great hang out spot. Since Mel has left I have been several times and the bar is just very commercial and the new bartenders are you're typical food and bev industry pricks that are 35 and still hitting on 20 year olds. Bring back Mel
