Waited 10 minutes to be seated and was never sat with 75% of tables open. Even with minimal waiters or employees we should have been sat even if the wait to order or the time the food would arrived would have been longer. Just utterly pathetic. read more

We love The Mill! Family friendly restaurant with a great atmosphere and personable staff. Menu offers many selections for your picky eaters. We especially think the appetizers are tasty. We love to sit at the bar and socialize with friendly bartender Amber and the other patrons. It's always a good time! read more

A classic Adirondack restaurant that has changed their menu in recent years. I went here for the first time over 10 years ago and enjoyed it and we enjoyed it this time too. We were a party of 11 and they happily put 3 tables together for us. Our waiter was very friendly, accommodating and professional. There was something for everyone on our party. I had the prime rib on a wick roll. The meat was a little well done for my taste but otherwise good. It came with homemade chips and of course aus jus. I tried a bite of the pork Schnitzel sandwich it was served with pepper Jack cheese and onion, bacon jam, very savory. My niece had an ahi tuna and seaweed plate and my cousin had the flat iron steak. It was cooked to his liking. The fries were homemade and crispy. This is solid American food that we all enjoyed at a decent price for a "nicer" restaurant in the area. They aren't reinventing the wheel but it's a pleasant setting with good staff and decent food. read more

Fabulous!! We are from FL - but lived in central NY most of our lives- my advice - food is great - enjoy the view and the company . Be patient . These people work their tales off to give you a good meal - this is not a big city - so lose your city attitude .... Relax - have a drink and be patient . read more

The location has lovely views, especially if you're dining outside. The food was ok; a bit pricey though. Our server had an attitude from the get go and was downright rude upon checkout. He was a large man and I felt very intimidated as he rudely asked what my problem was as we had to hunt him down for our check. Probably won't return for this reason. Very disappointed read more

I had a yummy Fig and Feta Burger. The staff were friendly and the environment was fun and cozy. The family and friends were all also satisfied with their meals. They also serve specialty cocktails that were very good (we tired blackberry mule) read more

I was super happy about our decision to go here for dinner!!! Soooo good! I had chick parm wings, my dad had the shrimp sambuca which I tried and it was sooooooooo gooooooood! He ate the whole thing! My friend had the chicken Caesar and he loved it as well. Our server was Josh and he was great! Not sure why anyone would complain about this place I thought it was fantastic! Yeah it took a min to get our food but they were slammed which is to be expected during high season. I also really loved the ambiance! Nice and cozy. Loooooved and will come back here for sure :) read more

Food was absolutely delicious. Fried pickles were some of the best I've had. The homemade butter is delicious. And the Nashville chicken was fantastic. Will def be back. read more

I returned to this restaurant and ordered the ahi tuna again- this time it was very over-cooked. Also the onion strings on my boyfriend's (over-cooked) steak were very stale. The soft pretzel was great.. maybe we just came on an off-night. Although we really enjoyed our dinner, the food just did not live up to the outstanding meal we got last time we ate here read more

The Mill - Soft pretzel with queso dip - American Near Me - Old Forge, New York

Great meal, we shared the wings and both had the steak. We had wonderful service from Josh!

Arrived Sunday with 3adults, 3 children. Dining room closed so bar and porch area open. Sat immediately. Took twenty minute for a server(not servers fault only two servers to wait tables, bus, and bar). Due to pos problem orders not into kitchen. 7 tables whom arrived well after us all served and departed. Took 1 hour and 45 minute from order to food. Pretty sad no leadership on site or offer to discount the tab just a we're sorry we had problems. Food was amazing but keeping three young kids occupied was difficult. read more

Would very much recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal and a good time. Wonderful view of the Moose River from the patio with a beautiful sunset! Tim the bartender serves up a perfectly balanced Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita and the Downeast Blackberry Cider hit the spot on a warm day. We will definitely return for the welcoming atmosphere and welcoming conversation from the entire staff. The salmon meal and the schnitzel sandwich were also cooked well and quite good. Overall a gem in the heart of paradise! read more

Used to love going to the old mill as a kid with the big pot of soup and salad, but this has sadly changed. It has been years since I've visited, so I'm not sure when the changes occurred. We went to the hostess station to wait, and noticed a party ahead of us, no big deal. But the waiting area is small, so we tried to move out of the way. The hostess was nowhere to be found for at least 5 minutes. While we waited, another group came in behind us. When the hostess finally came back to her station, she took down the other party's info before ours. Okay, we won't fuss. We decided to go out to the bar area to get a drink and wait for our table. We looked over the menu. The bartender was very nice and accommodating. When our table was finally ready, it was pretty clear they were short staffed. The porch dining was quite full, but the dining room inside wasn't anywhere near capacity. However, it seemed there were only 2 servers on. We sat for quite awhile before our server came over. We even overheard the hostess asking if he had forgotten about us. He had. Once he came over, the meal was quite pleasant. We started with the deep fried deviled eggs, which were good. The prime rib was very good. Our kid's pot roast was very good. Husband said his prime rib sandwich was less than exciting and thought the fries were better. It was just a piece of meat between 2 slices of decent bread. Thought it was weird there was nothing else on it. Prices were a bit high for what it was. All in all, the food was pretty good and service wasn't bad once we got some. I do miss the old mill, but this one might not be bad after working out the kinks. read more

Ok, so I have gone to this restaurant since I was a child with my parents every year almost. It is now the mill not the old mill. They don't do the all you can eat soup and salad anymore BUT the food is THE BEST I have had in town ALLLLLL week. COVID has really hit here hard for restaurants and this place has fought it off well! We had chicken parm and the steak. comes with hot bread and like a cinnamon butter. All was beautifully done. GO HERE!! read more

Twice we tried to support this restaurant and twice the owner was a rude, unprofessional and just unresponsive. We stood at the door while she walked past us count times without even an acknowledgment. First time this happened maybe a fluke but second time not so much. If you want a pleasant experience don't go here. read more

Tried a reopened restaurant that I used to go to before it closed several years ago. Had the 1/2 rack rib special, the frys were amazing hand cut so thin. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, unfortunately they were extremely spicy. They burned my mouth so bad I had to have a 2nd vodka collins. Well I was able to eat three and I brought the other 4 home to try to scrape off the spicy rub and add some sweet baby ray. I would not normally do this but those ribs were so tender. read more

Now under new management (as of fall 2019) with a new name (The Mill). This is definitely an improvement on what the previous owners offered, as they were not so much interested in being restauranteurs as they were snapping up any available property in Thendara. I had never been to The Old Mill when it used to be the "fancy" restaurant in town, so I can't compare my experience to that, but it has certainly improved since last year. ANYWAY. Service was excellent. Our party of seven, five adults and two children, were seated in the bar area immediately. The ambiance is very comfortable and cozy. TVs over the bar, but not noisy or distracting. The fireplace was cranking (be careful if you have little ones running around) and the space was warm and inviting. Our server took drink orders right away and came back promptly to get dinner orders started. Our group got the prime rib special and black and blue salads, as well as lobster bisque to start. The soup was the only low light of the experience. Of course a bisque is going to be creamy, but this honestly felt like I was drinking straight up heavy cream from a bowl. There were very generous and fresh tasting lobster chunks in it, though. The prime rib was HUGE and juicy. Steak in the salad was lightly seasoned and complimented the veggies well. All in all, a good experience. read more

Haven't been here since new owner ship. Service was good. Pretzel was delicious. I ordered the mill on wick and the meat was good but the lower bun was so soaked when it got to my table It was like mush. Didn't really care for the homemade fries too much. Lacked flavor and were over cooked. Fiancé got the western burger with Jalapeño and he said it wasn't spicy like he was hoping. read more

FANTASTIC! We visited during a very busy peak summer evening, and our service, meal & experience was top notch. Started out at the bar where the bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and provided great service. She offered tips on which meals to get and which ones she likes. The bar area is bright and open and very Adirondack-esque. We were seated indoors but when we asked the host if we could switch to an outdoor table, he hustled to prepare one for us & happily re-seated us. We really appreciated that!! Food was excellent. We had several apps & entrees- loved the chicken francaise. Brussels sprouts were so good. Steak was prepared perfectly. Waitress was awesome- she was very busy but it never affected her service to us. We had a really great experience from start to finish- can't wait to come back! read more

The food and service were great! we were a group of 8 and they split us up to two tables of four, which was fine. they did an amazing job complying with social distancing and masks. we asked at the bar if we could get drinks while waiting to be seated. the bartender was super friendly but said he couldn't serve us any until we had food. which while may seem like an inconvenience, made us feel very safe. our table was freshly cleaned when we sat down. a couple times people tried to come in without masks on and they promptly took care of the situation subtly and calmly. Our waitress did forget one of our drinks, but upon a reminder the drink was immediately brought. The food was amazing, they had a lobster mac and cheese special that is delicious. they have homemade potato chips too which was a nice surprise. We weren't sure what to expect as we knew the old mill under different management, but we were pleasantly surprised. while a few changes have been made, the soul and homey feel of the restaurant can not be altered! All around the service and food were great! the atmosphere was so peaceful and calm and we had an amazing experience. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant we tried while visiting Old Forge. It was nice weather out so we sat outside on the front patio. You get a decent view of Moose River from the patio. A little noisy from the cars driving by but we didn't mind. We had the fried deviled eggs and stuffed portobello as an appetizer. The eggs were good to share and very flavorful. For entrees our table got the roasted duck special that was AMAZING. It was cooked perfectly and the skin nice and crispy. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was large and had a nice spicy kick to it. The chicken wings were crispy and the sauces we tried had a good flavor. They have a kids menu too, so the kids were able to pick their meals too. Every employee we interacted with was super nice and we really enjoyed our time there. I would recommend The Mill to anyone looking for a good meal and great service In Old Forge. read more

The Old Mill is back! Had a fantastic meal with my parents and friends Saint Patrick's Day weekend. My dad had the corned beef and cabbage which was tender and juicy. I had the stuffed chicken with orzo which was delicious. Our friends had the shepherd's pie, and my mom had the beet salad with endives. Service was also fantastic. We sat in the bar area which is newly renovated. Snowmobile friendly. Highly recommend next time you're in Old Forge. read more

This place was outstanding. I only ate and drank there one night and that is a personal failure during this set of travels. The lady next to me had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - it was giant. I had a pork schnitzel sandwich that was outstanding. The wife had the lobster tacos which were tasty but within the realm of seafood/fish tacos. The local pumpkin ale was delicious and a sneaker upper. read more

This place is my new favorite restaurant in the ADK. We went there with a large group (about 18-22 adults). The bartender and part owner Adam was super friendly and more than accommodating. The atmosphere is incredible from the live edge wood tables to all the ADK decor on the walls and massive fire place. The drinks were well made and Delicious!! The food came reasonably quick and accurate (impressive for that large of a group). Everyone raved about their food especially the burgers. I myself ordered a southwest jalapeno burger and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I don't usually bother to leave yelp reviews, but I had to leave this one before even leaving the restaurant. We got the bacon ranch fried, fried deviled eggs, and lobster linguine. There's not a single thing that wasn't beyond good. Also, the service was so quick! Adorable little place and immaculate food. read more

This was a definite find. We were on a casual drive through the Adirondacks when we were surprised to see deer grazing on the grass in the middle of town. We decided that we were hungry too and drove through the town to see what our options were. We chose The Old Mill Restaurant since it looked like it had a lot of character. It is very rustic inside and outside. Soup and salad are served family style and while there were only two of us there was enough for four. Be sure to try the French Onion soup. The bread was fresh and delicious too. Entree portions were large enough to send us home with a second serving for the next day. Entrees were also very flavorful and beef was cooked exactly to the degree requested. This is a very family friendly restaurant so expect to hear some happy kids nearby. If you want to be sure of a more quiet dining experience, you might want to ask about dining in the lounge/bar area. Service was friendly and efficient. We'll definitely want to dine here again if we're driving through town. read more

The moment we stepped into doorway, we should have turned back around and left. Hostess said there would be approximately a 15 minute wait which turned into an hour. We watched people leave but there was no one seated for about 30 minutes. Finally get a seat and menus; hostess sat 3 others groups after us. We watched the wait staff go to each of the other tables even though we were the 1st to be seated. Finally the staff asks for drink orders and we had plenty of time to decide from the menu, only to be told 3 items had already been sold out. The food was fine, I've had better, but the kicker was when paying the bill, they charged our charge card for our meals and the table next to us on one charge card. The bill was delivered back to us without the return of the card. When we caught their error, it was fixed but by that point, my mind was made up. I won't return. Good luck if you give them a try. read more

Was not overly impressed. Waitress didn't know what drinks they served when asked if they had pepsi or coke. Didn't know what the special s were and gave wrong information. We ordered potatoes skins. Very greasy and potatoes not cook throughly. information. Husband ordered pot roast. Was very fatty and bland. I ordered special but sent it back when it wasn't as described. Ordered salmon. Salmon was good Tried giving the waitress the benefit as she mentioned this was her first day back after 2 yrs. not worth $$. Would not go back. read more

Been to old forge many times but this was our first time eating at The Mill. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious and couldn't have asked for better service.

The restaurant has reopened and is pretty great. Delish chicken fingers and really great corn chowder. Friends of ours had chicken sambuca and said it was killer as well. Only open a few weeks but they are headed in the right direction. Been coming to Old Forge for years, never stopped her but will be adding it to my rotation. read more

Looking for a restaurant on a Sunday night we came across the Old Mill. Situated on the Moose River, it provided a wonderful dinner for five and a gorgeous sunset. By looking at the other reviews on Yelp it seems that after the remake of the restaurant and re-opening they have stepped it up a notch. We couldn't agree more. A wonderful stuffed pork chop, pot roast platter and three burgers later we were stuffed to the gills. The service was great. We sat out on the porch and got to see the sunset over the river. If you gave this place a try in previous season and thought, "Ehhhh", try it again. The new owners have done a great job. read more
