I have been going to the Old Mill for over 25 years and have never been disappointed. A dated experience is what you look for in a facility of this style – nostalgic facility, a great view of the river and a traditional menu.
We noticed the menu was recently updated. I enjoyed a new pork dish and found it fully satisfying. My son enjoyed a meatless grain dish and he enjoyed it thoroughly.
I drive 45 miles to get there and enjoy every bit of it.
A great value too. Three of us enjoyed a lovely meal for $100 plus tax and tip.

One of the best restaurants we’ve ever been too. The food was amazing, the staff was incredible and the view was astonishing. Everything is made from scratch which made it that much better. We’ll definitely be back in the future.

A group of seven from my family ate here Sunday. I do not live in the area but was here 10 years ago and never forgot it! We were greeted by the friendliest of people and seated at a table by the window so we could watch the creek just below. It is a beautiful view. Our server was Sarah, and she was chipper and eager to please. My husband tried to give her a hard time the best he could (jokingly) and she served with a smile and was quick witted. She made our time fun. But the service isn’t all that is good at the Old MIll! We were served cheese and crackers, warm rolls and a relish tray that is like a rotating salad bar being put in front of you! Check out their pictures and you will see what I mean. There was cottage cheese and better than usual mixed fruit, bean salads, delicious beets, potato salad, coleslaw and strawberry jelly for the cornbread or rolls they give you. A stuffed mushroom with seafood appetizer was ordered and well liked by those who eat seafood (not me). The Chicken and Biscuits, Chicken Old Mill, Broiled marinated Chicken, Strip Steaks and Braised Beef were Entrees thoroughly enjoyed by the family. But wait! They serve vegetarian meals as well! One of our Members had the Roasted Beet Salad which she liked very well and to tell you the truth, I’m going to try that next time I go! Check out their menu and you will see other items on the menu great for a vegetarian. All in all we had a great family meal just as we were all ready to go our separate ways. I think it would make a great place for a wedding, reunion anniversary party, whatever. Nope, I was not paid or asked to do this review. I just wanted to make sure anyone looking for a new place to dine, reads this! I wish we had more places like this in Watertown, NY where I live. I am always looking for a place that has character, good food and good prices.

Old Mill Restaurant delivers that classic, down-home comfort food vibe the right way. The place has that old-school charm — warm, cozy, and exactly what you expect when you walk into a place with “Old Mill” in the name.
The food is solid: hearty portions, fresh, and seasoned like someone in the kitchen actually cares. The biscuits, the entrées, the sides — everything comes out hot and tastes like real cooking, not reheated shortcuts.
Service is friendly and quick, and the whole atmosphere is relaxed. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit back, enjoy a good meal, and not feel rushed.
If you’re looking for comfort food done right with a laid-back feel, Old Mill Restaurant is worth the stop.

Old Mill… This one truly puzzles me. There are so many glowing reviews for Old Mill and our experience didn’t really match any of that.
Don’t get me wrong, this was in no way due to the wait staff! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. But pretty much everything else about this experience was par or below.
We arrived and entered into what initially looks like a small gift shop. This area is decorated with very out of date decor (and this will continue to be a pattern for the rest of the establishment) and I at first wondered if we were at the right place. We were greeted withing 60 seconds and we waited about 5 minutes to be shown our table, into a big dining room that was also filled with outdated decor, contributing to a very 50’s (and not in the charming way) atmosphere.
Now, I can get over the decor if the food is good. The menu consists of a bunch of different options ranging from steaks and roast beef, to chicken, a cheeseburger option and seafood, to appetizers of mushroom caps and escargot. For a fine dining establishment, the menu is somewhat all over the place. I ended up ordering the Chicken Old Mill, with the other members of my party ordering the ribeye and the Ratatouille.
Now, each of the entrees comes with a soup or salad, rolls, a starch (baked potato this visit), a vegetable (green beans this time), and a “relish tray”. The relish tray is honestly enough food for a party of four to have as THE meal. It is wildly unnecessary for that much to be on the tray for any less than 8 people and I can’t see it as anything less than a money pit by serving that much to smaller parties. To give credit where it’s due, the dinner rolls were very good, having both standard and a light cinnamon roll option in the basket, and the soup of the evening, Lentil, was tasty as well.
The entrees, sadly, were underwhelming across the board. The Ribeye was cooked perfectly, but lacked any type of seasoning. The ratatouille was par for the course and the chicken old mill had some flavor, but the presentation and the texture had me feeling like these dishes were reheated and not cooked fresh. The portion size of the chicken was also underwhelming, as I would have much rather had less of the relish tray and more of my main course.
Overall, I really would like to hope that our experience with the food wasn’t the norm. Old Mill has such high reviews that it seems odd for our experience to have been so different from others. However the one thing that is for sure is that they could really use a remodel. It’s a great space and some modernization would really do it well.

Old school cool!!! Excellent resturant, with great atmosphere and views of the river from the dining room. The food is awesome, service even better, wide variety of choices. The dessert list is worth a visit. Make the journey, you’ll be glad you did…..

My sister and brother-in-law were here from Texas. We wanted to take them somewhere special for my husband’s birthday and Father’s Day. The food was fabulous. Best turkey dinner I have ever had. The portions were perfect and the gravy was delicious. Mashed potatoes just right and the cheese and crackers, rolls and cornbread, relish tray and beverages were wonderful. We are making this a once a month dinner place. Thank you to all of the people who work there who made our experience delightful.

Went to the Old Mill to celebrate a friend’s 90th birthday. We were not disappointed. Very happy with our meal choices: salmon special was excellent, haddock was delicious as was the shrimp dish. The relish tray , bread and cheese and crackers were nice additions to our meal. Service was great. Danielle checked on us often and even surprised our guest with a birthday cupcake. We highly recommend the Old Mill restaurant for a special dining experience.
