Had the creamy chicken over puff pastry. It was boring and had very little taste. The service was decent. The decor is horrid and looks old and dirty. They offer a complementary brownie, which was basic and too sweet. I had heard their desserts were great and was disappointed. Don't believe the hype. I think they're niche market is the elderly population, with diminishing sense of taste. Bland meals with overly sweet sweets. I do not intend to come back. Meh overall. read more

If there's a restaurant in the country that has an older clientele than this one does I would be completely shocked..If your under 50 in here they bring you a High Chair and a Sippy Cup..under 60 they bring you The Kids Menu...this place skews to the 70+ crowd for sure...when I am here and I am looking around I often think to myself, I hope I still am eating solid food when I'm these people's age...Sugar Mill is mainly a Bakery where they serve up brownies..cakes..pies..etc,but they have a 3 hour window in the afternoon where they serve lunches...their lunch offerings are all over the map..soups..salads..sandwiches..quiches..enchiladas..Puff Pastry over Chicken Pot Pie Mixture(House Specialty) and they often have daily specials like Chicken Divan..Baked Spaghetti..Pot Roast..and Meat Loaf...the only way I could really describe it is Southern Comfort Food...place is always packed for lunch with long time regulars(emphasis on long time), but the food always comes out quick because all the waitresses have been here forever and do their job well....food is consistently good and satisfying, but that is just the prelim to why everyone comes here:the dessert...Sugar Mill definitely has Fort Walton Beaches best Brownies..Cakes..and Pies...The German Chocolate and Carrot Cake are particular standouts...often time the madness in the front of the bakery/ restaurant is people getting bakery items to go and not people waiting to eat, so don't let the mob of people make you turn around and leave...Sugar Mill is hard to find(kind of hidden in a Strip Center), but is worth the effort..probably more of a 4.5 Star Place, but Yelp does not allow that so I will give it 4 Stars..and remember when you are there..Age is just a Number read more

See all

The lunch specials are fabulous, the desserts even better! I am absolutely crazy about their coconut custard pie!

Excellent Hometown food and service!!! Make sure you ry the desserts!

Nice, clean place with decent food. I had the taco pie and it was good. Seemed to be maybe made early in the day or day prior but good regardless. Right sized portions not greasy or spicy, reminds me of church pot luck fare. Definitely caters to the senior crowd but it's comfortable. read more

This was a great find. The food and the definite locals Resturant was wonderful. I had the quiche and salad DELICIOUS, then the Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate cake which was outstanding. I highly recommend this hidden gem!!! dj, Little Rock, AR read more

Great lunches. My son is a fan of their pot pie puff. I like everything I have tried. Best cakes and desserts around

Awesome place! Very nice staff and great food. Only thing I can think negative about this place is the table cloths. They were clean but worn out. read more

The best cheesecake also love the meat lasagna and baked spaghetti

Found this place on google and decided to give it a try when my friend came for a visit. We got quite a few dessert items and all of them were great. The items we got included a slice of key lime pie, cheese cake, and pina colada. Although all of them were on the sweet side but with a cup of coffee, they were all pretty good desserts. Since I haven't found a good bakery in the FWB area, this is probably one of the places I would recommend to someone with a sweet tooth. read more

A simply amazing little gem! The place was packed but we were able to find a table to accommodate our group. Our waitress Shirley was on the ball with the drinks, our orders, and our checks. I'm sure our group was slightly chaotic but she handled everything in stride. Everyone in our group rave about their lunches. I had the chicken and spinach lasagna, so delicious! It was also extremely rich and I could only eat half of it. This place is the definition of comfort food. Everyone's food looked hearty and delicious but we all managed to saved room for dessert. I couldn't decide between the hummingbird cake and the Italian cream cake so I ordered both. We all had fun sampling each others desserts and passing them around...but the clear winner was the hummingbird cake. It was so good that a member of our group ordered a whole one to go. Our apologies to anyone else who wanted hummingbird cake that day! I'm already planning what I'm going to get on my next trip :-) read more

Yall...THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!! The service was phenomenal and the food is amazing! Our waitress Summer was the BEST! Everyone is so friendly and I can't even choose a favorite dessert bc they are all good. Love it! Stop by if you are in the area. read more

Sugar Mill is one of our favorites for lunch. The desserts of course are divine - we always order several to try. Tthe main dishes are also great. Our go-to orders are the spinach enchiladas, chicken salad, and quiche. All delicious! The staff is always so kind and helpful, with fast service. And it's great to talk to the chef who made all the desserts when trying to pick out only a few from the great display case! read more

Arrived ten minutes to noon on a Friday-- good thing too because the retired crowd started streaming in around noon. Decor is is pleasant, casual, with two long sets of 4-seat tables going to the back of the narrow room, with the dessert case on the left side next to the cashier. Our server was prompt, courteous and accommodating. I asked how sweet was the sweet tea-- she said southern sweet. I asked for I in sweet, but she said she could do half and half-- perfect! Just what I wanted. I ordered the Chicken Divan based on Ashley B's review and a salad with their homemade vinaigrette. While the divan wasn't divine (I didn't have the religious experience Ashley B had because I prefer a little white wine in my sauce!), I did enjoy it. Now the kicker-- free dessert for first time visitors! What? Sweet baby Jesus! I had the Mississippi mud pie brownie and it was fabulous. This is a great spot for southern style lunch dishes such as quiche, soups, salads, sandwiches and their specialties. read more
