Great question, but I think that if there is a McDonald's or similar fast food restaurant, it is not a small town. Small towns might have a diner or two, maybe a local pizza joint, an ice cream shop, and a convenience store. Might even have a Subway, but that would be the only chain restaurant.

A great example of a small town in Ohio would be Smithville.
 
I think Burrow gets the moniker of small town guy/Athens as a small town because in comparison to college “towns” and NFL cities, it is a small town. It’s a relative thing.
 
I’m not sure there’s a specific population limit. I think it’s largely more of a feel and you can tell whether it’s a small town or not when you’re there.

My mom grew up Shreve. Cousins went to Smithville. So yes to both.
 
I think geography also counts. A city of 5000-6000 people that is a suburb might not be a small town but a city of 8000 people that is no where near a bigger city is.

what is you have 7 bars in the town?
 
Apparently to ABC news....a "small town' in texas...population 45,000, is expecting additional 100k visitors for the Eclipse
 
During my teen years I lived in a small town (Population 2600) in Indiana. We once counted 12 bars and 12 churches. It seemed like a fitting balance.
