Emily was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and incredibly timely with everything. Me and my boyfriend both ordered pancakes, and she made the whole experience even better. She was perfect setting up the griddle and making sure everything was just right for us. You could tell she really cared about the details and wanted us to have a great experience. Our food came out quickly, hot, and exactly how we wanted it. Emily truly went above and beyond, we’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again!

The atmosphere here is fun…if you don’t mind making your own pancakes it’s lots of fun, if you’d rather not cook your own food, you can choose from other breakfast options on the menu. You have a choice of three different batters; House specialty (today was gingersnaps), buttermilk and buckwheat optional bacon and sausage, blueberries, (mini) chocolate chips and other items. Gratuity’s are included…important to note…very reasonably priced.
Reservations are not available, however, there is a short riverboat cruise and if you book the cruise, they’ll hold your table while you’re on the cruise.

This place was so fun and I could not recommend it more for a wonderful experience! We tried the all you can eat pancakes, and I got the flavor of the month which was pumpkin spice. Our waitress was super kind and told us the history of the place, and she was always checking up on us. Cooking your own pancakes in front of you is a neat experience and I will definitely be back and bring more people along with me this time.

The Old Sugar Mill Pancake house is definitely a must visit when visiting the park! We came for breakfast – making your own eggs and pancakes is very unique and fun and we loved that.
Quite a basic breakfast menu – I wouldn’t say it blew me away but it was still nice and I would go again. I think $3 for chocolate chips and other toppings was a bit steep, these really could be included in the price of the pancakes. Could also offer different flavour maple syrups. It would have been nice to have been offered some sauces for our savory stuff – like hot sauce or ketchup etc.
We arrived early 8:45 on a Friday and walked right in – I’ve heard there can be up to a 2 hour wait on a weekend so just be mindful of that.

Cool concept, terrible execution.
You can cook your own pancakes and eggs on a griddle at the table. Kudos to them for the concept, but the restaurant has no A/C (yes, in Florida, in the summer), just a few struggling fans. It was boiling inside.
We were a group of six. Four meals came out first, the other two 20 minutes later. The waiter apologized and said those would be free, which we thought was quite nice of him. However, he ended up just giving us 10% off on the 2 plates without an explanation. The manager said “he shouldn’t have said that” and refused to help.
I ordered the Mill Breakfast with ham and wheat toast. Everything was okay; the only differential was the fact that I got to fry my own eggs and grill my already cooked ham. I guess they keep it simple to keep the prices low, which is understandable.
In sum, entrees are cheap (under $10), the concept is fun, but you’ll pay in sweat and frustration. Go early, sit near the door, and don’t even bother trying to make a reservation because the website doesn’t work.

It was a great experience for our family. Two adults with two teens. We walked trails waiting till our table was ready, we even saw manatees. It was a little pricey but we felt the time at the table with eachother was worth it. Food was really good and so was the waitress.

It was really fun. The restaurant was wonderful. Seeing the mill was interesting.
The interactive all you can eat Pancakes was an experience. The price was tourist price. Mostly likely the add on was the expensive side. The service was good.
The food was a simply delicious. Nothing out of ordinary. Just your the one cooking.
We have a dun visit. …

Always a fantastic experience! Expect a wait if you arrive after they open, but there are lots of things to keep you busy – boat rides, swimming, museum, gift shop, walking trail. The pancakes are fun to make and customize. Plus, they taste delicious!

1st TIMERS BE AWARE‼️ NO AC & VERY HOT IN SUMMER This is like camping out, You Cook your own pancakes & eggs (if you can stand the hot indoors & heat from hot griddle in the middle of table!). Our Reservation was “Cancelled” when you’re not on time & didn’t check in early. Had to wait an hour for the 2nd reservation that kept getting pushed back. (So family went swimming while waiting). If you don’t care about the heat and long wait, then This is the place for you! Otherwise, it’s TOO HOT & Everyone is miserable‼️ Deleon Springs is a State Park that you also have to pay $6 admission to get inside. It’s beautiful, but PACKED in summertime with busloads of summer camps. They do have “Old Sugar Mill Express” for ordering outside, bring your patience. Parking is far away, so be prepared for 10min brisk walk too (we brought a wagon for our tent, chairs, towels, etc). If you’re here for the day, then this is the only option to eat for those that didnt pack food. One & done for our family, it was not a pleasant experience‼️
