The 1761 Old Mill Restaurant & Cracker Barrel Pub & Lounge

Thanksgiving Dinner here was a pleasure (be sure to make reservations! . Everything from the fritters and pecan rolls to the duck and turkey were fabulous! In a weird way, I love how the menu was presented. You had a choice of: Turkey (Mix of white and dark meat or only one of the two , steak, duck, salmon, or vegetarian chicken. Automatically included were: Cream of Broccoli Soup (Divine even my broccoli hating husband enjoyed it , garden salad with a choice of dressing, butternut squash and potatoes, as well as coffee/tea and dessert (choice of pie: Pumpkin, Apple a la mode, Pecan, or Apple Crisp or Vanilla ice cream . We had the turkey and duck, which also included cranberry sauce and stuffing. The duck was an entire half of a roast duck! Everything was perfect and service was well timed, apparently not their first rodeo. The abundance of leftovers were brought home to savor later. The dollar value was amazing; where I live, this meal would have been jacked to the moon. The ambience was absolutely charming. Loved the mini wood covered bridges over the water and the DUCKS! Really, do take the time to walk the grounds, you won't be sorry. A memorable day (especially due to the woman at the table over from us who showed up to her family meal completely pickled and ordered the steak hope anyone who was on the road with her made it home safe .

Beautiful restaurant and grounds... the lake has ducks and geese. The restaurant has bags of complimentary food for the ducks as you enter so that you can feed them. We were lucky to get a window seat with a view of a rushing stream. I read about their pecan rolls and corn fritters and it sounded so good that I had to get some. The pecan rolls were a disappointment. They had no flavor and were insipid. The corn fritters, on the other hand, were very good. They had a nice crunchy texture. For my entree, I had Atlantic scallops with potatoes. The scallops were good and the potatoes were okay. They seemed more like they were steamed then maybe broiled a little to get that slightly browned appearance. The food is solid diner food. Service was friendly and good.

The pecan rolls and corn fritters though! Finally had the chance to dine at the Old Mill. My bf and I were super excited because this place was recommended to us and it is a bit far but when the opportunity arose we jumped on it! First off, the outside is gorgeous! They literally have their own waterfall! It's so picturesque that you can literally spend all of your time outside. The restaurant is pretty huge with several rooms for dining. The menu offered a variety of yummy looking entrees such as salads, wraps, burgers, soups, sandwiches and a few steaks. My bf got the New York sirloin steak and I went with their famous teriyaki steak tips. Both entrees come with a side and salad. The very nice waitress brought us the delicious and warm pecan rolls and corn fritters basket to start. Both were so good! They tasted like they just came out of the oven! The salad came out next and we quickly devoured it! It tasted very fresh and was the right amount of salad. My medium rare teriyaki steak tips were super juicy and flavorful! And my baked potato was cooked perfectly. We were very satisfied by the end of the meal and only wished we tried some of their desserts but there's always next time!

New work locations bring new go to places. The Old Mill will be one of these go to places while I visit the area over the next year of two for work. The history, location, staff and food are a no question asked place to visit. As soon as you pull up the waterfall and ducks make one smile. The interior has multiple seating areas to fit your needs.

Restaurant in a rustic historic mill and beautiful surroundings. Food is in big portion. We liked the fritters.
