Great food and service! The restaurant serves scratch made southern food in a really unique historic building/mill. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a bit of everything. We started with gumbo and it was amazing! We got the bowl to share and it’s huge, but our waitress did warn us! For our meals we ordered the burnt ends over fries and the blacked eyes peas and collard greens with added chicken. After ordering, I noticed the mac and cheese awards on the wall so of course we had to add a side of that as well! It was good and it was especially good with the burnt ends. Everything we tried was good and a waitress was great – very friendly and attentive. Neat place with good southern style food. Glad we stopped in.

We were riding to see the Freedom Rock in town and we started talking to a local Veteran about it. My wife and I asked him where is a good place to eat and he highly recommend this place and we agree with him. Craft beer choice was pretty good and the brisket sandwich was very good. The atmosphere was relaxing. We told some of our friends about it and we are planning a group ride there.

What a neat place, the building and decor are incredible! We were there mid-day, and at first, we were the only customers in the room (I think), and our food was prompt and service amazing. Each one of us loved the food we ordered, and I would definitely visit again.

Where do I start? I heard about this place then found out a keyboard player for one of my favorite artists was playing that night (Bruce Katz of Allman Brothers, Delbert & others). The atmosphere is amazing, the sound is amazing, and the food was INCREDIBLE. I had the Combo Platter with Corn Maque Choux and Southern Greens. I was blown away with the Southern Greens. So rich, smoky, so different I can’t even describe it, simply out of this world. Now I have to try to duplicate that somehow! The barbecue was just as amazing, smoky and juicy, and the sauces were excellent. The show was up-close and personal. Service was great. We will be back to Bellevue for this experience again!

Wonderfully preserved building + superior cuisine + excellent entertainment = 5 stars in my book. I would suggest calling ahead for a table, unless you don’t mind waiting, and when the waitress says “thanks for your patience” you know the food took a while. Even so our meals were top notch for the price. Try the Chicken Tchoupitoulas for a change. Brisket was oh so good! The prime rib looked awesome too. Enjoy!

Excellent establishment. Cajun food ,amazing. Live blues band. Owner Mark took the time to have conversation with us and tell us the history off the building and share stories. When we came back that evening for dinner he remembered our names and treated us like old friends. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!

Driving the scenic Iowa route south from Dubuque heading back towards Chicago, this was a great stop. Historic Potter’s Mill and tucked away setting provide the atmosphere for a perfect stop. BBQ brisket was very good (the amount of meat provided in the sandwich could be a bit more generous to make it outstanding). Multiple bbq sauces. Seasoned fries were very tasty.
Several craft brews on tap. I enjoyed an interesting peanut butter stout.
The staff are very outgoing & friendly and the owner is very engaging.
If I lived closer, Flatted Fifth Blues + BBQ at Potter’s Mill would be a great place to hang out.

The restaurant is tucked up side of a huge Limestone Bluff and there’s a large Creek that runs by it. Just a very lovely off the beaten path place to go. It’s a bar restaurant on the bottom floor of the mill and the top half of the mill is actually a bed-and-breakfast type of an Inn.
The decor is very old time rustic. l
Lots of eclectic things from the mill that are used throughout the restaurant and bar area.
The night we attended they were having a blue grass/folk art duo performing on the small stage. Atmosphere and Aviance we’re very soothing, relaxing and Zen…. The wait staff was friendly, efficient, courteous. The food was top-notch and it’s geared towards southern-style style New Orleans dishes. You will not find a hamburger on the menu but you will find smoked french fries that were off the hook! The mac and cheese was a bechamel style Fontina cheese sauce. The Southern Fried Chicken was light crisp very flavorful. Definitely give this restaurant 5 + Stars very very good experience…

Best restaurant for dinner in Bellevue, no contest. The best food and ambiance! Cute old mill transformed into a great restaurant with made from scratch cooking. It has a lot of character and charm! Definitely don’t miss this one.
If you haven’t checked out Flatted Fifth Blues & BBQ for their All You Can Eat BBQ Brisket Spaghetti, you MUST (only on Thursdays)! You might have to ask for it, it’s not on the menu or always announced by the server.
I will admit, I had never thought of the combo of BBQ and spaghetti therefore I was skeptical but I figured why not give it a try. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. I was blown away. If you like their brown BBQ sauce, you will love it. It is a little spicy (not at all “hot” though), had a nice subtle vinegar flavor to the BBQ sauce and the brisket is melt in your mouth, like normal! The spaghetti noodles are perfectly Al-dente. The smaller portion is the “all you can eat” additional plate, should you order one. The meal includes a salad (I had the chipotle ranch dressing – amazing!) or you can get soup for a small upcharge. The salad is a spring mix which is always preferred vs iceberg, for me. It also comes with two garlic Parmesan breadsticks that are soft on the inside with a little outside crunch and perfect amount of flavor.
Otherwise my favorites are the combo platter with corn maque choux and smashed potatoes (weekends only) if not there on a weekend the baked beans, burnt ends, fried green tomatoes and the flourless chocolate cake! They also have a great rotation of local beers and the bartender can whip up an upscale cocktail as well!
