Amazing food and fantastic service! We were looking for a dinner spot not too far from our hotel, and this place was the perfect fit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server and immediately impressed by the beautiful decor. There's also a bar area off to the right if you're looking to enjoy a drink. After being seated, we had time to look over the menu and decided on the fish and chips and the Northwest Burger. The burger name alone caught our attention, and we had to try it! The food was delicious and freshly made. Both dishes were full of flavor, and the quality really stood out. Combined with the fantastic service and inviting atmosphere, it made for a great dining experience. A bonus for pet owners the restaurant is dog-friendly if you're bringing your furry friend along. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again! read more

Nice spot in Port Townsend! My cousin and I stopped in for a drink, but decided to grab some lunch as well. We shared a french dip sandwich and a chicken caesar salad. Since we were splitting, they were happy to serve half to each of us, and were also able to accommodate my cousin and his food allergies. They had a great selection of whiskey an's all that helped us were knowledgeable and friendly. The space was a good size and they had some tables on the back that looked out over the water. Was a nice place to take a break and grab some sustenance. read more

The Old Whiskey Mill was a fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding. I started with the steak skewers appetizer, which were perfectly cooked and full of Latin flavor. For my main dish, I had the Bistecca French Dip sandwich, and the flavor combination was excellent, especially paired with the rich au jus sauce and crispy Cajun fries. I also enjoyed a local Rayonier beer, which was a great complement to the meal. The restaurant itself was very clean, with cloth napkins and a great drink selection, giving it a nice upscale yet relaxed Puget Sound atmosphere. The overall experience was excellent and definitely worth coming back for. I'm not a local as I am from beautiful Jacksonville Beach, Florida but this spot made a great impression. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant is spacious and surprisingly quiet. The service was a bit slow, but not horribly. We ordered fried oysters 5/5, turkey club 4/5, and short rib Rueben 4/5. Nice, but not extensive draft beer selection. read more

So. I liked the service. I liked the cheeseburger. I liked that I could bring my dog on their patio. I was here on September 20th during the film festival and everyone in house was great. I ordered pie to go. Imagine my surprise when I found an earwig IMBEDDED in my pie. I'm not talking on top- I'm saying baked in and he was literally in a bite of filling. Accidents happen but- this I'll never forget. read more

We had lunch at the new Old Whiskey Mill location, and it was such a lovely experience. The setting was beautiful, the weather was gorgeous, and our server Arnold was an absolute delight. Friendly, funny, and really attentive. We were sitting outside when our friend arrived and she has trouble walking, and Arnold was so kind about helping her. It really stood out. The food was delicious, and his recommendations were spot on. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and we can't wait to come back. read more

Stopped by this spot for a quick breakfast and left wondering if I should write it into my will. First off--the interior? A+ for fun vibes. It's like someone said, "Let's make a place where you can eat fried chicken and feel like a cool person while doing it," and they nailed it. We kicked things off with a bacon Bloody Mary (because breakfast should come with meat and a buzz) and a Southern Spritz that made me want to say "y'all" for no good reason. Both drinks were dangerously good--like, "I could forget I came here for food" good. But thankfully, the food demanded attention. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and--listen--the peach jam and melted brie combo? That sandwich didn't just slap, it wrote a love letter to my tastebuds and mailed it express. Meanwhile, my partner dove into the eggs over pulled pork and reported back with a mouthful of happiness. The side of pico? A spicy little bonus surprise, like the edible version of finding a $20 in your jacket pocket. Special shoutout to their housemade "Tabasco"--which I'm pretty sure is bottled ambition and wizardry. It brought the perfect level of heat without making me cry in public. Bottom line: next time we're in town, we're coming back. This place is now part of our travel itinerary--right between "check into hotel" and "question life choices if we don't eat here again." read more

Said they wouldn't set us outside because we had 6 people, although 2 were kids and one could sit on a lap. Brought out kids food way earlier than adult food. Food was flavorless -- no check in for extra water, we cleaned our own mess and they charged us a 20% tip because our party was too big. They rushed the renovation of the building the wood ish floor is bubbling. Not impressed-- especially because there are so many great restaurants in PT read more

I ordered the French dip, and my husband ordered the short rib Reuben. Food was fantastic, service was great. The restaurant itself is a really nice place. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area. read more

We had a group of 11 and our waitress handled it as though we were a small group. She served us promptly, collecting drink orders and asking how we wanted to manage the bill proactively. The delicious food arrived in timely fashion as did our drinks read more

We started with the smoked onion spinach dip appetizer which was so yummy we tried to recreate it at home. The dip went well with my wife's glass of Chardonnay and my E.H. Taylor small batch bourbon. For entrees, we had the Mill House Steak Salad and the Peppercorn Crusted New York Strip Steak. Both were well prepared, presented and tasty. For dessert, we shared a piece of cheesecake with apple pie topping. The service was excellent and timely. I'd describe the place as casual elegance. Quite an enjoyable meal. read more

Beautiful building and location. Friendly staff. Great location right on the water. However, the food was of a cheap quality, made with unripe produce, colorless yolk in the egg. Generally disappointing unappetizing. While the idea behind the 2 dishes ordered seemed good, both were poorly executed and the same was true for the drinks: house whiskey sour was over-shaken and diluted, yet somehow served with little to no froth that the white is purposed for. Try a dry shake! The Penicillin (my all time favorite drink) wasn't even a cocktail--just scotch dumped on a giant $20 ice cube--spit the one sip I had back into the glass. Great service. Friendly staff needs training. read more

I drove 65 miles from Everett WA to Port of Townsend to meet my friend that haven't seen for 30 years . We ordered a burger , salmon Caesar salad , Salmon entree and seafood pasta . All the food qualities were good and flavorable . The only thing I observed was that after the guests left , there was a server pour the left over iced tea into the water jar they served you on the table and then picked up all four dirty glasses by sticking her fingers into them . It's not just gross but also violated the health code . The restaurant is located in busy downtown Townsend, a very popular place for a meal . read more

Everyone else loved their dishes and drinks. I don't recommend the fettuccine. Server and bartender/host were awesome.

Five of us went to the newly moved/updated Old Whiskey Mill for a birthday last Friday night and had a great experience. The new space is beautiful and nicely decorated. I had the chicken fettuccine, which was amazing, and everyone else enjoyed their meals, too. Our server, whose name I forget (Second Shift S, per the receipt...), was great and very friendly, as were the rest of the crew working that night. I always enjoyed the Old Whiskey Mill at its former location, and I will miss the sidewalk seating once the weather starts improving, but the new OWM incarnation is fabulous and I can't wait to try the new deck out over the water. read more

We adore the Old Whiskey Mill. We usually come here after a day of hiking at the Fort Worden trails and along the shore at North Beach. It's always warm, cozy, and beautiful inside (or in their tents outside during COVID). Great whiskey selections of course and very good house wines. The bangers and mash, fish and chips, and poutines are my favorite. Also, the clams bianco, which are amazing. And the servers are always really friendly. This is a great place to stop when you are in Port Townsend. read more

Amazing food, but the Old Fashions were amazing. We had one that was Smokey Fig, I never would have asked for but will return just for that drink. Their French dip, seafood chowder and side salad were amazing. read more

Updated review; this is the very first time we've left a restaurant before eating there. We were very excited to go to their new location - it's beautifully done! However, they've changed the menu and are even less veggie-friendly (the Frenchman poutine was delicious - but gone now). In the past I've tried their sweet potato burger. It was mushy - burgers shouldn't ooze. Ever. They do now offer a veggie melt - with squash (really? More mushy food?) that just didn't sound appealing. Mini rant: I'd love to see a vegetarian/vegan dish, with any meat substitute, that has texture and flavor (Porta Bella mushrooms, tvp, soy curls, vital wheat gluten - there are too many not to have, at least, one decent option! Even tofu can be made into a sliced "deli meat" substitute that's fantastic in sandwiches!). Restaurants that only offer a weird, flavorless, mushy (to include black beans and lentils) veggie "burger," as their "veggie-friendly option," do little more than scream "I don't know how to cook anything else!" *steps off soapbox* Anyway, the greeter was perfect. Very friendly, polite, & very sweet. The server seemed "new" and wasn't familiar with the menu - but was nice. Still not enough to keep us there. I'm sad. read more

The Poutine is best eaten before you go home and nap cause thats what you're gonna want to do. All the burgers are delicious and savory. Yes, even the one with kimchi. Good moscow mules and every first Sunday they do breakfast that always changes. the fish and chips/ artichoke dip..... OMG amazing, their spicy vinegar goes great in the fries and it's a good hotspot for pokemon go. Additional: Caribbean Chicken sandwich, delightfully tasty. sweet, tangy and tasty; to start, the chutney is clearly made with attention to detail for taste/texture; mixed with the melted cheese curds makes a perfect in-between for anyone. Chicken is cooked and seasoned to perfection, fresh veggies add to the flavor. As always, a Moscow mule ties it all back together. Coffees good and they have new happy hour foods yearly update: the salmon was delicious and a BEAUTIFUL presentation. The Knish is soooo good with the cheese and caramelized onions it's a perfect appetizer for happy hour. read more

I really enjoy this place. The servers are always very friendly, very fast, and the food is good. I tried the new salmon sandwich last time and it was pretty good. I prefer a stronger sauce/flavor, but it wasn't bad! I LOVE the fried oysters and salmon bisque! Sooo yummy! My only complaint is happy hour is at a weird time (probably intentionally ) and they close so early. People from out of town (on business trips) have nowhere to go at 8pm! read more

We've received the best customer service in this place. All the staff smiles and very friendly. The burger is top notch cooked perfectly with that added backyard BBQ char flavor.

My wife and I dined there for lunch on December 17, 2025. That was our only meal of the day. That evening we both became ill with nasty stomach and intestinal issues. We reported our experience to the manager 2 days later. She apologized for what happened, declined to refund our money but offered to email us gift certificates. We agreed, however, the gift certificates never arrived, and she has not returned our call. read more

Service: great. Our waiter was very nice and willing to accommodate - we asked to substitute veggie patty for meat patty in one of the burgers, and add steak to the House Salad. He managed to accommodate both requests. Food was served after quite some wait but they were very busy at the time. Food: good. I really enjoyed the House Salad with steak. The salad was well seasoned and the steak was grilled deliciously. However, some of the other dishes didn't receive a positive review. read more

I had the artichoke halibut. Excellent. We enjoyed sitting outside. Make sure you are under an umbrella.

During our first visit to Port Townsend, the Old Whiskey Mill was recommended to us, twice, by two separate parties of locals, as a preferring dining spot in town. We didn't have the chance to check it out back then, as we'd already dined elsewhere beforehand. This last weekend, on our return trip, we vowed to find out if the recommendations held water. The weather was perfect that afternoon, and we had our puppers with us, so we requested a table outside, ordered a couple drinks, some bulgogi street tacos, the cubano, and enjoyed the sunshine and light breeze from the bay. Both of our entrées were fantastic, with the cubano being perfectly toasted, tangy and savory thanks to the combination of pickles, dijon and lean ham; not fatty or greasy in the slightest! Similarly, the bulgogi street tacos, when topped with pickled onions and kimchi, had a pleasant heat that complimented the zing of fermented veggies. The meat itself seemed more like seasoned carne asada instead of the usual shredded beef used in actual bulgogi, but the dish didn't suffer as a result of the textural difference: I'd have loved it either way! Our server was competent and friendly, although we didn't see much of her beyond ordering and delivering, but that's just fine with me - we're not very needy, and prefer to be left to our own devices most of the time. There were plenty of other options on the menu that I would have gladly ordered (the Guinness and steak pie would have won out on any other day, but didn't really seem like the right choice for an outdoor lunch on a hot summer day), so a repeat visit is likely in the cards during our inevitable return to Port Townsend in the future! read more

Friendly staff, outdoor eating (on the street) was a little noisy, but not their fault. My wife had the traditional burger; she said it was the best she has had. I've had slightly better bangers and mash . . . in Ireland! Wish we lived closer. read more

Having a dog we need to sit outside. Their outside was wonderful with ambience, good spot, and good seating. I don't know about you but sometimes outside seating looks like they threw out a few chairs and a table with no thought about the customer, like we are 2nd class citizens because we may be traveling and cannot leave our dog in the hot car for one. Anyway, off my soapbox yet again.. ha So aside from great outside seating, the menu was awesome. They have special cocktails so I had one of course, very refreshing with gin and cucumber soda etc. Next up, the menu has some imagination going for it. We ordered the cubano with sweet potato fries. We actually split it and I'm glad we did because the dish was huge.(SEE PIC) It was basically a panini just filled with different kinds of meats and cheese. We were happy and content. Really digging the hospitality here in Port Townsend. Lots of great eateries that love dogs, shopping, galleries, you name it. read more

Me and my friends decided to spend the day in port Townsend... BIG MISTAKE! We tried this restaurant for dinner, while the place was nice the food was decent at best. The issues started the next morning when my friend began violently puking in our cabin sink, a day later I woke up with the same sickness violently puking and shitting. This place is awful do not go here unless you enjoy THROWING UP! read more

We were a little skeptical going in because online reviews were pretty mixed. But we wanted to watch the Mainers playoff game with the sound on at place that allowed minors and this is where was recommended. We had a great meal! The bulgogi poutine was delicious and creative, we split an excellent burger and our cocktails were also unique and very good. Our service was top notch too. Loved the menu overall - lots of interesting flavor profiles and dishes you don't see everywhere. We will be back! read more

This is a cute destination port town, although I was passing through, I decided to stop and have a meal a lot of friendly locals added to the flavor of the hamlet, the food, I started with the Bulgogi tacos which were wonderful but I didn't get a whole bunch of Bulgogi flavors but still great starters. The steak was a much desired treat and I had fun tasting new and different wines that showed up well against the steak, especially the house red blend, a shocker of taste at $8 dollars highly recommended place that I'm sure you'll have a great experience and service is the cherry on top read more

Braved the freezing cold and came to Port Townsend. The food in this place warmed our souls. Delicious grub and the portions are a plenty. The service was excellent. Definitely a place to come back to. The burgers and Sandwiches were all juicy and delicious. The smoked chicken fettuccine had a lovely creamy sauce that was mouthwatering. The Guinness Brownie tasted good but it was dry and so there is that chalky after taste/feel that you get. read more

Had a delicious dinner here last night with friends we hadn't seen for over 5 years. It's a beautiful old building with seating both inside and out in front on the sidewalk. The place was packed! What truly made the reunion special was our waitress Arian. She was so patient with us and so attentive (without being intrusive). We sat and caught up with our friends for over a half hour.. every few minutes Arian came by and asked if we needed anything.. The food was perfect for the occasion. They had smoked chicken alfredo, and I asked if they could substitute smoked salmon for the chicken.. Arian went back to the kitchen and came back smiling saying they would do that! My wife had a beef shepherd pie that was delish! Our friends had fish 'n chips. Also very good. If you are ever in the area, you should give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Came here for lunch and so we could sit outside with the pooches. They could use a few more patio umbrellas as it was fairly sunny and warm. The fish and chips looked great, but were actually doughy in places. Tartar sauce not particularly flavorful. A lemon and malt vinegar would've been nice. The fried green tomato sandwich was bland. Fries were great. read more
