    French Dip
    Mel H.

    This place was so good!! Everything we had ordered came out quick and hot. The roast beef was so tender and juicy. French onion soup was perfect that nothing was needed ie salt or pepper. It was 8pm so there wasn't many people there. We were seated quickly and the history of the place is kinda cool. It's in an old library

    King prime rib...delicious
    Matt F.

    I used to frequent Beefeaters quite often years back, and loved it. It went downhill and I stopped going. I've heard rumors that it was getting better. My family and I decided to try it on Black Friday. I must say it didn't disappoint. I had kind king prime rib, it was delicious and prepared perfectly. The sides were very flavorful, German potato salad, and a side salad...(salad was a bit small, but good). My dad had beef in weck, which he said was good. My mom had chicken parm, it looked delicious! We will be back. Hopefully they keep it up!!

    Lovely Fire

    This restaurant has plenty of historic charm. The building is beautiful. Food is always top notch with great service too. Loved the fire burning this evening too!

    Absolutely delightful restaurant in downtown Bradford Pennsylvania. The building itself is magnificent, a historical library, with doors and woodwork reminiscent of years gone by. The food is excellent, as is the service. The menu was a bit limited, but more than adequate. Cloth napkins and light but adequate silverware surround specialty tableware suited to unique dishes. The roast beef dinner is served on a rectangular platter, their better than average onion soup is served in a heavy crock overflowing with Gruyere cheese, The stuffed mushrooms have their own special dish, etc. Make sure you try their celery seed dressing. It is quite special.

    Roast on toast and newspaper clippings from the past.

    Historical setting with great comfort food and people. I tried the roast on toast and it was more than I could eat. The service was timely and hometown friendly

    Roast beef sandwich with gravy fries
    Jenee S.

    With mixed reviews I guess we ordered the wrong things. I thought it would be safe to try the roast beef sandwich and gravy fries. I was wrong. The bread used was your typical generic white loaf from a bag. The gravy had an odd texture and weird taste. The meat was cold in spots and too salty. I do like the kind of fries they had but were obviously frozen and didn't make up for the rest of the meal. My husband got a bacon burger and said it wasn't great either. The inside was neat but the dance/club music didn't go with the type of crowd or decor

    Mmm

    I'm right on the fringe of 3 and 4 here, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for…read morenow and go 4 for the time being. I went here today with my kids and some friends and their kids (ages 6 to 8 months). It being a Sunday at 1ish, we figured we'd miss the lunch rush and be able to cruise in and out. Somewhat surprisingly, it was pretty much full (which isn't a bad thing), but we got lucky and were able to sit within about 10 minutes. The place is quite fun with walled-off bar and table areas that adjoin at the front with an open space and the small music stage. The decor was cool with rough cut wood everywhere and TVs playing the Olympics (go US curling team!). And even though it was really busy, it wasn't all that loud given the number of people. Once we got seated though is where things started going off the rails a bit. It took a little bit for our server to come see us and then even more time to take our orders. The whole time she seemed either disinterested or distracted and certainly in a rush. I also got that same kind of vibe from the other servers I saw bouncing around too. In any event, we got our orders in and then it took them quite a while to come out as well even though we didn't get anything really special - pot roast poutine and side salad for me, cheeseburger and fries for my son, pizza with black olives for my daughter, and then our friends got chicken fingers and fries and I think maybe another cheeseburger or something. All in all, I think we ended up being there around an hour and a half through no fault of our own. For a beverage, I ordered myself an espresso martini. Now, mind you when I asked for a cocktail menu, they had none. They also "only" had 3 or 4 kinds of gin, to which our server told us that's not actually what it's called the "Gin" Mill for (not sure if that was sarcasm or serious). Either way, not really what I was expecting but oh well. It is a pub after all. On the flip side of that, I saw what looked like some really excellent looking cocktails being served up at the bar. Seems like a missed opportunity to me. On the food side, my side salad was pretty basic - lettuce, green pepper, tomato, and onion. I asked for balsamic and ended up getting two ranch. Oh well, I still like ranch. The pot roast poutine was absolutely epic though. Is it trying to actively kill me? Of course it is with all that fatty meat, greasy fries, and gravy. Aren't I allowed to splurge for the sake of you readers out there though? The roast was melt in your mouth tender and some big chunks of it to boot. I brought about 3/4 home and it made excellent leftovers for dinner too! The pizza was solid with a good cheese to sauce ratio, a nice, fluffy crust, and good overall taste and texture. I got a bite of my son's (plain) cheeseburger and it was also quite good with quality-looking bun and some really nice sear marks on the burger. The fries weren't my favorite with the sort of weird crunchy texture-style that like a Burger King has, but that's really just my personal preference. At around 230 is when the band started playing, which was an older couple playing some country tunes. My kids decided to go out and dance for a couple minutes, which the musicians seemed to get a kick out of. It was tough to make out the words she was singing, but it was a fun vibe regardless and it wasn't obnoxiously loud either. All in all (and cheating looking at some of the other reviews), it seems like this place has some front-of-house issues that need addressing but their food and drink are pretty solid. Since there's not a ton of food choices in town, I'd consider going again, but with EBC and others in walking distance, I guess there's not really any compelling reason that I should when I only make it down this way a couple times a year.

    The food was excellent, but unfortunately the service really took away from the experience…read more We walked in around 9:00 p.m. and later realized the restaurant closed at 10:00, so we'll take responsibility for coming in late. However, from the moment we sat down, it felt like our presence was an inconvenience. We waited about 15 minutes before placing our order, and when we did, our waitress rolled her eyes and made us feel uncomfortable for ordering. We ordered Cajun wings and were never told there would be an additional $6 charge for the seasoning. Then, at 9:48 p.m., she came to our table and simply said, "My shift is ending, so I'm closing you out," without asking if we needed anything else or even offering a polite goodbye. Throughout our visit, we also noticed her spending time sitting with and hugging a man instead of checking on her tables. The food itself was fantastic, and we still left a $25 tip on a $74 bill because we believe in tipping for the kitchen staff and the service industry. That said, the service was disappointing and came across as very unprofessional. We understand arriving close to closing isn't ideal, but customers should still be treated with courtesy.
