Amis Mill Eatery is the cutest restaurant! It's a bit off the beaten path which just adds to the charm. We walked in and were immediately greeted enthusiastically by the staff. Our server made wonderful recommendations from their extensive menu. Everything looked so good, we had to try it all! We got 3 appetizers: fried pickles, fried mozzarella and the queso and chips. The queso was by far my favorite. And the homemade chips were thinly sliced and amazingly seasoned potatoes. I ordered the salmon and it had a delicious sauce on it, with the queso Mac for my side. Again, yum! Don't sleep on the queso! My son got ribs and they were legit fall off the bone. I mean the bones looked as if they'd been licked clean just by using a fork to pull the meat off. He said they were the best ribs he's ever had. My husband got a HUGE steak and he loved it. My daughter got a kid's chicken strip meal, and got 2 meals out of it (she's 5). We finished off our experience with a slice of peanut butter pie, and there were all but fights to get to the last bites! Our service was excellent throughout our meal, and the price was reasonable, and by reasonable I mean they should charge more! We will for sure be back! When I find a meal I like, I tend to order it every time I eat at that restaurant. I don't intend to do that at Amis Mill because there are so many delicious sounding items on the menu. Now that I know the quality of the food, I can't wait to try them all! read more

Setting is beautiful too bad the food is just OK. Steaks a little over cooked definitely not med rare. Chicken was over cooked marsala sauce might have been good but was mostly missing read more

Had the fried green tomatoes and the club sandwich. The tomatoes were ok, but the club was not good. The ambiance is spectacular, and the server could not have been nicer. But in terms of food the local Sonic has much better food and prices. Great location, come on a beautiful day as most seating is outside. Just don't come hungry. Order a bite and enjoy the view. read more

We were here for a family dinner, with relatives from multiple locations. We called ahead and they got us right in on a Friday night. The server was so sweet--even took our picture for us. The food was very good. No complaints from any of us. As usual, the scenery was lovely, and the parking was easy. read more

I'm baffled that this place doesn't have a real (ie, not filtered) review yet on Yelp. We've found the more rural areas of east Tennessee to be somewhat of a dining desert, so we were thrilled to have found a place somewhat close to our homestead that has excellent, local food, an interesting atmosphere, and friendly, quick service. We ate here on Friday, April 20, 2012 right around noon. I had a cup of the jambalaya and a simple side salad with the apple balsamic vinaigrette - I'm new to southern food and no expert, but the jambalaya was flavorful and quite delicious, although I didn't get the cornbread that was supposed to accompany it according to the menu (and didn't notice until after the fact). The salad ingredients were fresh, and the vinaigrette was excellent - almost an applesauce-like consistency, which was different but welcomed. Hubs had the BBQ pork ribs with hush puppies and creole gumbo. The hush puppies were a bit heavier than we're used to, but the soup was as good as my jambalaya (I'm a soup snob). I'm not a huge fan of ribs in general, so keep that in mind, but I sampled one from the hub's plate, and even without that incredible bbq sauce they serve with it, it was the best I've ever tasted. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Our food came out within a matter of minutes after ordering, although I think we beat the lunch rush. The view from the covered patio is lovely, and the owners were in the process of adding another level to it to expand the seating. It was fun to watch their dog (Tess, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, I think) run around fetching a tennis ball thrown by the owners while they worked on the deck while we ate. With tax, our bill was less than $35, not including gratuity. Second only to the River Place on the Clinch, which is our favorite restaurant close to our rural homestead, Amis Mill Eatery is definitely on our go-to list of places for a meal out. read more

The salmon there tastes awesome like awesome awesome along with the fries and it was amazing to experience a country style restaurant. The outside has awesome scenery along with the Amis Mill Dam from the late 18th century. It is amazing when you go to an eatery named after a famous Tennessean. read more

Great food. Nice staff. Very cool atmosphere. Definitely want to go again and again. Can't think of what else to write just yet, so I'm just going to keep writing words, big ones and small, until I've accumulated tbe appropriate proportion of words to be an acceptable sized review. Hopefully that is enough words for me too be able to successfully post this review. Wish me luck. read more

A very secluded restaurant. What a beautiful setting with a river, waterfall and old mill ruins. The restaurant is rustic and nicely decorated. It is wheelchair accessible. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. A lot of history on the walls. We walked the property after eating. It was a beautiful day and we are so glad to have visited. Highly recommended. read more

PLEASE BEWARE!!!!! As of May 2020, restaurant is under new management. We have always LOVED Amis Mill. The food and service have always been exceptional until today, May 23rd, 2020. We were told when we arrived it would be 20 minute wait....no problem, we enjoyed the mill site and scenery. An hour later, we are still waiting....we reminded them we were still there several times. We were finally seated and ordered our food (I ordered chicken pasta parmesan with broccoli as a side), we waited for almost 40 minutes for the food; well most of us, I never received my food after waiting over an hour and 30 minutes at the table. Everyone else had eaten (slowly) trying to wait until my plate came but it never did. My husband finally had enough and went to address the issue with the owner. She was rude, acted offended that he would say anything, never apologized and then she said, "I knew this would happen since you had to wait!" What!?! She also claimed that the food took so long because she had to make it fresh....well, first of all, I hope they make it fresh for all your customers and I'm wondering how pasta and grilled chicken take over an hour and a half to be prepared??? The food quality was another issue. It wasn't the standard Amis Mill eats. It was packaged fries and boxed Mac & cheese, no more hand cut fries....we weren't impressed at all even before the plate never came. It's really sad that an East Tennessee staple is at risk. I went back to Facebook and realized that the pictures they advertise are not from the mill....they are just stock photos. I'm really disappointed. This was a great place but not anymore. We saw the old owner on the property when we first got there and he said that they have grandchildren now and decided to lease the restaurant out so they still own it, just not running the restaurant anymore. read more

What took us so long!!! The wife and I have lived here in East Tennessee our whole life and never been here before. So glade we picked Amis Mills Eatery. Food was amazing and the views were beautiful read more

Atmosphere and staff were super nice. The food was blah. Not much flavor or options on the menu.

HIGHLY overrated!! Been once and that's one too many times. Just a ma and pop place with big city prices. Never again for me thanks. . read more

We were immediately greeted with a smile! We decided to eat outside so we could enjoy the dam and waterfall. The scenery is so beautiful and calming, that's almost all you need! But the food was delicious! My fried shrimp was the best I've had in a long time! Others in my group got shrimp and grits, catfish sub, and chicken cordon bleau sandwich. All were delicious!! We were very pleased with the restaurant as well as the beautiful scenery!! read more

Very nice employee's The view from wherever you are sitting at is always a great view The price is fair The hours are sometimes confusing so it might be best to call ahead read more

I love finding good food in the boonies. Put it in a quaint cabin in a beautiful stream-side setting where the only roads in are pure heaven for a convertible, and you're setup for a great review. Top it off with reasonable prices... That close. The food actually exceeded my expectations. We started with lightly breaded fried green tomatoes, each topped with a small dollop of a creamy Cajun sauce. Crispy, not greasy, piping hot. Loved 'em. On the fried front, we had okra with dinner, and it was fried just as crisply. Our waitress informed us the tomatoes and okra both came from the garden outside. Main dishes were quite good as well. My wife got the Cajun buttered sirloin--which came out perfectly medium--topped with onions and peppers. I got the Cajun sampler: a cup each of jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice, plus a side-sized serving of fried crawfish tails. The flavors were all true to Cajun/Creole we've had in New Orleans and around the Mississippi Delta. No heat, but the dishes weren't harmed by the addition of Louisiana hot sauce. So if the food was so good, why the 3 stars? Service. Our waitress was friendly, but very slow--it was not particularly busy--and didn't get our order right. My wife ordered a sweet potato...got a regular baked potato. She ordered fried okra as an additional side. We had to ask three more times to actually get it. Tip to waitstaff: I've been where you are. Write it down and repeat it for confirmation. It impresses no one to use your memory and get it wrong. Our drinks went empty, and stayed that way for long stretches. The bill came then everyone disappeared for ten minutes or so, so I couldn't pay it. Service was friendly, but bad. read more

We enjoyed lunch in this little rustic country restaurant out in the booneys but worth the drive. Next time We want to eat out on the patio facing the creek but today the weather was cold so no tour of the land today. We will be back for the tour and food. read more

Really great food in a really beautiful setting! This is one of our favorites on the weekend when we just wanna go for a ride through the country with the kids. I've been hung up on the Cajun sampler with an extra side of crawfish tails for a long time now. The jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans with rice are to die for. And there is always more than we can eat. We take the extra home and it is just as good later when nuked in the microwave. The surroundings outside are awesome. You are overlooking the remnants of an old grist mill site with a nicely wooded area with a creek flowing over a very old dam. Great historic place to bring the whole family. read more

This past Saturday we joined our Tennessee family for dinner at Amis Mill. We drove 6 miles down curvy country road with beautiful scenery. As we approached the sun was setting and the entire property was just glowing in warm sunlight. There were 9 in our party and we made a reservation a few days before. Upon entering a male manager or owner greeted us with a warm welcome. He then sized up our group and said, "this is going to work out really well" and we were shown to our table. Our table for 9 was actually 2 separate tables!! WTF. He said, "The 3 young people can sit here, and the 6 adults can sit over here." REALLY?!?! We spoke amongst ourselves and the kids ended up liking the idea of their own table but I would have preferred us to all eat and sit together, hence the reservation. I would normally have been pissed off and my meal ruined but our waitress was sweet as pie and the food was pretty good. The view from the covered porch was lovely. We shared: fried green tomatoes and alligator bites. Not my pick but I was starving and they both tasted fine. I had the flat iron steak with a baked potato. Others had smoked ribeyes, oysters!! In the mountains of Tennessee?!?!? and other various meals I now cannot remember. They had limited alcohol. I had a Fat Tire beer for $4. Total for 9 was about $150. which I though was very fair. I would return. read more

We arrived early since we had heard that place often had long waits on the weekend and we were a party of six. The atmosphere is just what is advertised it is finished as an early American house/inn. The views from the outdoor deck overlooking the old mill dam and creekway are outstanding. We were seated quickly upon our arrival. The waitress came by to introduce herself and took our drink orders to give us time to review the menu and make our selections. While waiting we noticed another table being seated that brought their own bottle of wine to have with dinner. Since the restaurant is located in a dry county no alcohol is served there, but they seem to have decided to allow patrons to bring their own. I am not sure if there is a corking fee if you were to do this. We ordered some crawfish tails to start with, they were served with a house horseradish dip. They had good flavor, but as with calamari if they are over cooked they can start to become somewhat chewy. These were on the other side of being done, but not entirely to the stage of being chewy yet. The waitress also brought bread with olive oil over herbs, mainly basil and rosemary., the flavor combination was quite nice. I ordered the pulled pork plate with a side of cinnamon apples. The kitchen and waitress were working well together since the food arrive shortly after finishing the appetizer.. The pork was barely warm and very dry. The sweet BBQ sauce was the only one provided, it was just a bit hotter than I normally enjoy. but not so spicy that I wouldn't eat it. The cinnamon apples came out in a large dish that we ended up eating as a dessert since one member of the party just wanted a few of their french fries and I ate those. The fries were served hot and crisp on the outside while still tender on the inside. The cinnamon apples were sweet and also had a hint of vanilla flavor. The vanilla flavor mixed with the apples actually made me want to have them with vanilla ice cream as a complete dessert rather than as a side item with the meal. The apples were thoroughly cook, but not mushy. I gave Amis Mill only three stars because of the disappointment with the pork left me with a feeling of it was just OK. Most of the other members of the party felt the same about their meals that they were OK, but had not been converted to fans. If yelp had a rating system for service that would have been a 5 star experience based on the expectations I have for this type of restaurant in the area. I will have to try them again when traveling up in this area to visit family to see if at a different time they can change my view from just OK to at least a 4th star of being a fan. read more

If you are looking for a laid back atmosphere with a rustic charm not to mention a beautiful view of a river/waterfall and a roaring fireplace this is the place. Food is good but the atmosphere makes the trip worthwhile. There's not many places like this left. read more

The only thing good about this restaurant is the view. The food use to be great and now the quality and portions have gone way down while the prices go up. Most of the staff is rude especially "Teresa/Mamaw" and that nasty Tiffany. Can't stand the owner either, Jake is very superficial and thinks way to highly of the less than mediocre food that they serve. If you're thinking about making reservations for mother's day, forget it. Even with reservations we waited an hour only to have them run out of food, that's right you read that right, they ran out of food. Never again! read more

We went back in a Friday night. The place was packed. Everyone was friendly. The food so good. We ordered steaks, hamburger & one order of jambalaya. The order of jambalaya could use more rice but my daughter said it was very good. The steaks were tender and tasty. My Amis burger was unusual but great tasting! In short we loved the place. read more

We are so glad my son treated us to our 54th Anniversary dinner here at wonderful place. We drove from Dandridge and ate on the covered porch to watch the waterfalls. The owner and the waitstaff could not been more gracious. The story of the estate and eatery are enchanting. And as we left the owner asked our names. My husband's is Bill and mine is Gem-May. He then told us to visit the family cemetery there was another Gemay buried there. And since my name is so unusual (with a long story of how I got it) we just had to look. There she, a little different spelling, but the closest I've ever seen to my name. So thanks for the wonderful evening. It was well worth the drive and hope to visit again for the tour! read more

Amis Mill Eatery was one of the best place we had in our family vacation on 8/21. A nice lady name Linda from Longstreet Headquarters museum told us about this place, so we gave it a try. The drive from Morristown to Rogersville was phenomenal and fantastic. When we got to the restaurant which is inside the mountains our server Rechelle helped us from beginning to end. She had very good manners, great service and most of all very attentive. The food was fantastic my husband was very pleased and the BEST OF ALL was the dessert of the day was blueberry cobbler delicious. We were here for our family vacation and we loved the place, ambiance, and the small trails inside the property. read more

Amis Mill Eatery - This was our view from our seating area it was relaxing and gorgeous! - Southern Near Me - Rogersville, Tennessee

Great setting, the drive getting there is also part of the ambience. Go for lunch as seats outside are coveted. Great for group/family experiences and photo ops. Location alone gives this place 1.5 stars. The menu is nice and varied, a lot of fried options which besides the, Appetizer sampler, were good. Bread and our waitress came late, biscuits were better than the cornbread. The Cajun options were well liked: sampler, red beans and rice, and shrimp po-boy were tops. Greeter is friendly, but staff on the floor looked lost and angry especially the expediter. You can watch the kitchen work from a couple of tables inside and they were on-point knocking out what looked to be killer steaks. Will definitely try one next time! read more

Had our anniversary/Valentine's Day dinner at this great restaurant. It seems the owner and staff went to great lengths to be open on Valentine's Day. The menu was well planned and the chateaubriand (one of the specials) was excellent and perfectly cooked. Our server was a sweetheart (apropos for the day). We had a wonderful time. Thom and Sue Forbis PS: Don't wait for a special occasion...the food is always good and the surroundings in the spring, summer and fall are quite spectacular. read more

I've been here multiple times and I can tell you the pull pork sandwich and hush puppies are delicious. But let's get this straight we're here for Mostly the scenery the scenery is so beautiful the drive is a little crazy but once you see the waterfall and get to eat a decent meal it's worth everything!!! I will say it's a little expensive for the hush puppies. because you only get maybe four or three hush puppies for $3 that's a little much for only three or four but I'm not complaining much it's still really good at the end. Make sure you get some dessert from here there homemade desserts are wonderful!!!! read more

Fantastic views, food and service! Stopped here for lunch and so glad I did. The rib eye was amazing, I tried their squash bread and oMG! I don't even like squash typically but wow! Overlooking the waterfalls is a sight in it itself. Courtney was a great server! Very attentive. read more

A nice find- thanks, Yelpers, for the tip! My boyfriend and I had a casual "Christmas Eve Eve" dinner on the enclosed porch during a trip to Rogersville; I will have to come back during the daylight hours, because the view seemed to be pretty. I got the tilapia and bf got the barbecue; everything was very nicely cooked and seasoned. I wish we had room for dessert. Service was quick and friendly. read more

I have a mixed review. Hence, the 3. First time back since the reopening. My husband and I came for our usual orders. None of which were still on the new menu. No jambalaya, no Anne's Apple salad and no baked sweet potatoes. Also, our server did not tell us about any daily specials. We found out there were several when we heard another server telling the tables on either side of us. We had already ordered. Also, she brought our check without asking us if we wanted dessert. They used to have a couple of homemade offerings. Not sure if they did or not. She didn't ask us or tell us. Again, until the other server came to one of the tables next to us and told them about the homemade cobbler, etc. Sweet young blonde girl. Just shy and inefficient. ON A GOOD NOTE, what I ordered was very good. The crawfish tails appetizer and crab cakes were both excellent. I order crab cakes a lot and these were really good. My husband tried the gumbo. He said the flavor was good. It just needed some chicken and crawfish. It was all sausage. We will still be back. We love the atmosphere and view. The waterfall was full and rushing today due to the rain last night!! Very pretty. read more

Chicken and dumplings are canned, BBQ platter I had Saturday, the brisket was rancid and the pulled pork and ribs had an odd flavor. The fried green tomatoes are frozen. In our party of six, most of the plates were full of food, but the wait staff didn't ask if anything was wrong with the food. She asked about the tomatoes, we said they were not good....in fact, we didn't eat but two of the "slices".....of course. They charged us for them anyway. Finally, the flies were terrible and landing all over our food. We had to ask them to turn the ceiling fans on to try and help create wind to keep them away. This place won't last long. Save yourself a stomach ache and time and eat at home. read more

My steak was over done a bit it was still tasty. The staff was nice and the views were great. Just wish the sweat tea didn't have an odd taste. read more

The most beautiful place to have a meal. Good food especially the Friday night smoked prime rib. Very pricey tho!

Worth the trip. Plug into your google maps and go! Food was fresh and amazing. Tried two of their special sides as well as dessert to go with our meals. Wonderful. Take time to walk down to the waterfall and eat outside if you can. read more

Fantastic place to enjoy eating outside. The food we had was great. Service was also good. We bring people visiting from out of town!

My wife and I was in the area so we thought we would stop in and try this place out. I had the New York strip and my wife had the chicken Alfredo. The food was okay. The steak was cooked more well done that medium and on the dry side. The chicken Alfredo was okay according to my wife. The appetizer platter was decent. The jalapeño poppers were on the cold side. We sat outside on the deck. It was a quite country setting with what I would call a large creek with a waterfall across the road. I would probably eat there again but would not make a special 1 hour drive for the quality of the food. read more
