The Mill

Under new ownership, this restaurant offers a nice meal with AMAZING staff. The past three times we’ve gone to The Mill, we’ve had a great meal (Ranch Fries are bomb and I love the Salmon dinner) and the service has been top notch (as a former server/bartender I don’t give high praise often!). We’ll most definitely be back and we urge others to try as well!

They don't miss a beat the steak is amazing service is top notch.

It was my first time in Old Forge (I was here for a half-marathon), and this restaurant came highly recommended. They sat us quickly, and we all loved our food.

Went on a Saturday night around 7. Place wasn't real busy. Waited a long time to be even greeted. Asked at the bar and was told "she's over there, I doubt she hasn't seen you"????? Like we were lying....another guy ahead of us had been waiting even longer. Got to the table, service was slow as hell and the waitress did the bare minimum and seemed bothered when asked for additional items. Food took a long time to come. Steak was ordered medium rare. When it came, the center was raw and cold. Overall not impressed. Not at all like it used to be. Has gone downhill quite a bit. There are other places in Old Forge to get a better meal. I'd skip this place.

In Response: We were there the weekend of May 8th 2021. There were no male hostesses. A woman came up to the guy in front of us who told her he had been standing there for 20 minutes waiting to be acknowledged. She said she had a table and took him to it. Then came back and got us like 10 minutes later. She seated others too while we were there.

As for a review with a similar name, I haven't been to the Mill since the middle 90's, so this is my first review of your establishment. Not sure what you are referring to with the reviews.

Great Cajun fish fry. Actually I got mine broiled. Very good coleslaw. Choice of mash, fries or baked potato. Dining in the bar area by the fireplace or at the wooden bar or in the dining room or especially on the deck you will have a nice atmosphere to enjoy your meal. Sunset is a particularly perfect time to have drinks on the deck and watch the sky change colors over the Moose River in two directions, north and west. Despite being so short staffed that they had to do takeout only, they served us our drinks and our takeout meal so we could eat it on the deck. Other than the container as opposed to a plate, what's the difference? None.

Clean atmosphere. Service on par. But food over powered with salt.

Read the reviews prior to my visit. Should have paid closer attention. Yes the atmosphere was cozy, our waiter was excellent but the food not so much. Pricey but that's not the half of it. I ordered a Chicken Parm dinner the sauce was red grease and did not stick to the pasta and the chicken was grainy, the breading was mushy and the dish had a foul smell. After a few bites I realized I could not eat it and couldn't wait for the waiter to take it away. When asked how was it and me letting him know the simple reply was sorry you didn't like it! That was an understatement, I hated it!

The menu was very limited and the food was just okay. We called and asked if they had seating for the amount of people in our party, told them okay we will be there in 5 minutes. They then gave our table away.

Rude employees, food is awful. Cold pre cooked chicken from weeks ago put on certain items. Don’t attempt to ask for a refund on something that you have to spit out in a napkin; they won’t do anything about. Bad management/owner.

My husband and I along with two of our friends went to The Mill after our railbikes ride after we went to one restaurant and was sat to wait for 45 minutes and still no service. We got up and left and went to The Mill. We had a 15 minute wait so we had a drink at the bar then we were sat. Our server was Teddy he was amazing, we told him what happened at the other restaurant and he did everything in his power to make sure we had a great experience. The Delmonico steak was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend everyone go there when they're in Thendara. Thank You Teddy for making our experience at your restaurant much better than the other.
