Quaint and unassuming exterior by the lake. Inside, spacious and super clean. Very friendly staff. My partner is GF and they took time to make sure the food was proper. Gf options are scarce at the Millstone, but it is what it is. I got potato skins for an appetizer. They were good. Plenty of potato left inside, and not fried into oblivion. Partner ordered hamburger with no bun and a sweet potato. Burger looked and tasted like a burger. Sweet potato was good. Butter wasn't available. An oil based spread was offered instead. I had sweet potato fries- very good. My catfish was cornmeal and floured and then fried. The season on the fish was super good. The cat was watery and kind mush with little flavor. Portions were plentiful. Overall it was a decent place. Food is fine, location, interior and staff were terrific. Taste is subjective. You may find it delicious. I hope you do. These are decent folk doing a good job. Go try it out! read more

Exceptional service with the friendliest smile! I'm a bit of pain always asking for no bun, this that and the other thing. They not only accommodated my requests they went above and beyond!

We stopped here for lunch while passing. The service was amazing, super friendly and refills without asking. The restaurant was quaint but current and clean. Prices were not bad. Two of us had sandwiches which we thought were 5 star worthy. The other two had ribs with mac and were very disappointed, 3 stars. Ribs were very very dry and had a bitter smoke. Would highly recommend a burger or the grilled cheese w/pork. We would go back if in the area but avoid the ribs. read more

Ordered 36 hot buffalo wings, 24 hot honey, and 24 plain with sides. All were very tasty and our group had no complaints.

I like the people down home vibes they laugh and play with you the Alex sandwich is good. It's a BLT with fried green tomato. I normally eat hamburgers really good. The barbecue ribs are really really good. Pretty much everything. read more

Recommend this for a good meal! Food was delicious, they catered to my wife's strange request. Cute little place! Very friendly wait staff. Will return again if in this area! read more

It is usually a 5 star but....We are at Millstone at least once a week. The food is great and the staff are exemplary We went to eat and listen to Mr Martin perform, he is amazing. Everything was perfect except the heat in the dining area. It was close to unbearable. The more people who came, the hotter it got. Hope it gets fixed this year. I can't imagine working a shift in that heat. read more

A great find on the way home from I-40. This place is near a boat dock. Our waiter is Robert and he provided a great service. The food was great and tasted great! The atmosphere is good. We would definitely stop by again on our next travels read more

Great comfort food.$$ Excellent wings...just wish they had better Bleu Cheese dressing. Cool waitstaff.

Thank you! Yes Yelpers, I am thanking you. What a truly delightful family run place. The restaurant we had planned on was closed today so we turned to our trusty Yelp! and discovered a new place. Millstone Restaurant. We both had the smoked brisket served with BBQ sauce or horseradish and two sides. We opted for both sauces on the side and it was a good thing too. We couldn't decide how we preferred it. Plain, BBQ or horseradish. The brisket was so full of flavor we couldn't get over it. Super delicious. We tried the okra and baked beans too. The okra was great and the baked beans rivaled Bush's. Not too sweet but the perfect amount of flavor to kick plain ol' beans up a notch. However they are known for their 12 hour smoked ribs which we will surely try next time - oh! And they have a Fire Breather Burger that looked equally as appealing - so many good, down home choices. They have Karaoke on Fridays and other entertainment from time to time, so check their website and there is outdoor seating available in good weather. Come one, come all and enjoy! Can't wait to get back to try the next dish. :D read more

This is a typical southern restaurant with very large portions. You won't walk away, hungry! However, other than the fried catfish, the rest of the food was mediocre. The desert wasn't worth the calories but if you're looking for a true southern experience may be worth a try. read more

Outstanding every time. We've been eating there for years. Great staff. Wait and kitchen friendly and reasonable prices. read more

Excellent food and service! Very cute place. A hidden gem. Had "the Alex" and it was fantastic.

Everything we ordered was just what we expected. The burger and fries & Philly Steak cooked just right. Homemade Ranch dressing with hand breaded fried pickles and okra were also fried to perfection . Staff nice and attentive. Will definitely be back read more

The food is great, and you get a large portion, so the pricing is right on. I would love to give it a five star, but the amount of time that you have to wait and the time it takes to bring the food out is the only downside. read more

Just a little road tired, and stopped here for a quick bite to eat. The place is clean, and the staff attentive. Classic burgers for all, and we are gone. A solid 4. read more

On a long road-trip on which we took the effort and time to try a couple of independent restaurants for lunch, Millstone provided a nice change of scenery (from interstate-exit chain fare) but not especially exciting food. If you're headed west on I-40 like we were, to get to the restaurant you have to cross Douglas Lake, take the exit as soon as you reach the lake's west side, and then double back across the lake on U.S. 70. Millstone sits on a ridge on the highway just a few hundred yards beyond the lake's eastern shore, above a marina and campground. It's a tidy-looking and charming white roadhouse with a cool old "Yahoo! Mountain Dew!" sign by the front door. The interior is more spacious than you'd think it'd be from the outside; it was clean as a whistle and very brightly lit. There was a patty-melt special, but it wasn't very "special." The burger was overcooked, served on plain wheat bread (not rye) that was not itself griddled but barely toasted. Millstone, that's not a "patty melt," but cheeseburger on toast. A side of stewed red potatoes looked tasty but didn't have much flavor. In fairness, the wife said her hot dog was very good (although the fries that came with it were of the apparently-frozen crinkle-cut variety and pretty greasy). Our server was pleasant enough, but she never circled back around to offer iced-tea refills. Prices were quite reasonable. read more

I was really looking forward to the "country store" part of the experience, but sadly it is no longer there. A fire destroyed it and in the rebuild, the store was not included. I'll echo another yelper's post: it was a nice change from commercial roadside eateries while on a road trip. I'll always prefer a mom and pop shop! Service was super attentive, but there were only two other tables while we were there. I have to say the French onion soup was pretty tasty, even without the crouton and cheese (I can't have either). The bisque was probably Sysco, as I heard the microwave before it came to the table. We ordered the BBQ to share a snack between two people. It was not entirely fall off the bone, which was surprising for all the "famous bbq" marketing. :) Nothing particularly special, the service made it better & I probably would have left another star if the store was there. read more

It's a cute place, and I'm sure if they had more help it would have been ok. We waited an hour to get our food. But there were literally only three people working the entire place. The food was just ok, but it was fresh. The menu had 8 options, plus sides for Sunday. Portion size was average. read more
