We were in the area and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. This was our first time here. This is an incredibly casual place . No booths and not much to look at on the inside. The chairs are wooden with vinyl on them.So their not cozy and comfortable. If you have an elderly person with you bring a cushion for them. I was hoping the atmosphere would have a cozy charming feeling with comfortable seating arrangements. Our greeter was kind and helpful. Our waitress was very nice and helped us with any questions we had . The menu had a nice variety however breakfast isn't served all day. If you want breakfast come early. We ordered a large pizza and a pasta dish and we also ordered the blue berry cheesecake. Everything was very delicious ! We will be back ! prices are a little high however the food made it worth it!

We have been coming here as a family for many years. Typically we order to go and eat at home but this time we decided to dine in. It was a Monday night and it was rather empty. We were sat right away as a family of 6 and our waitress came right over to greet us. We ordered the family meal (because it was family night) which consists of any salad and any choice of pizza along with 4 pieces of cheesey garlic bread. We always get the sun dried tomato ceaser salad, the dressing is unexplainable it's so good! We always order extra dressing to take home. Next we ordered the thai chicken pizza which comes with a peanut sauce. This is also one of our go-to pizzas but it's hard to choose as they are all good! The bar area opens up to big pizza ovens so you can watch your pizza being made and cooked fresh! Highly recommend this restaurant as they are always consistent with their food and service. Everything we have ever tried from here is delicious. They also have gluten-free options and other healthy options for those looking.

The food was very flavorful and soulful. Staff was amazing. The Thai pizza ingredients were fresh and the peanut sauce is to die for. The steak was tender and juicy. Made me full.

We went in for some bloody Mary’s! Yum! Better yet, sat at the bar and got to watch the chefs and staff working together! If I was the owner, I would be one proud person! Best staff…multiple check ins on us, watched the kitchen and waiters work well together as well as fresh food being prepared for the day! Great job The Mill! Kuddos to your staff that work well together! Very hard to find! Looking forward to having some meals with the family and a couple’s date at the bar with more blood Mary’s or mimosas! I’m absolutely mind blown that this place wasn’t packed for a weekend breakfast!

Awesome local place with great food and nice beer selection. Really good pizzas. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Apple Sausage sandwich and Thai pizza (and even the Thai salad) are outstanding. Nice people too!

The server exercised great discernment by waiting to ask for our order until we were ready—especially thoughtful, given there were only 4 or 5 other people in the restaurant and about 36 seats still open. I appreciated that they avoided unnecessary interruptions. My sandwich came out in under 5 minutes, which was impressive. The portion size was generous, and it was also a healthy option. Definitely recommend!

Enjoy the service and enjoy the variety of dishes. The service was very good and they got us drinks really quick because it was very hot outside. They also got our food to us pretty quick as well. Recommend this place just based on the variety of food and so many different options next time looking forward to trying the pizzas

Came to have a salad for dinner tonight. I think The Mill has some of the best salads in the area. Tonight, I ordered the Cobb without ham but asked for turkey, and it was DELICIOUS! They give you a pretty large portion, so I'm going to enjoy the rest of it for lunch today.
