    Margarita Pizza.
    Shane G.

    Took my Son and Daughter her for a Sunday lunch, and it was great. The pizza is so airy and fluffy. Looking at it you would think it's thick and doughy, but it's not. I had $5 Bloody Mary and mimosa, which was good. I like how they put a large bottle of water your table, so you can fill impure waters up yourself. Good atmosphere, and service was good. My daughter's classic burger was excellent.

    Black and Bleu burger with regular fries was spectacular ($20 as of June 2025).  Special mention for the excellent horseradish aioli!

    This review is for lunch for one at the bar on a Friday in mid-June. service: Daytime bartender was awesome. Great recommendations and suggestions. Food runners and other waitstaff were all positive and professional. Seems like a great crew. bar: I drank a Discourse Goofing Around IPA (16 oz pour, $9 as of June 2025). This is a full service, serious bar, ready for your craft cocktail choices. food: Black and Bleu burger with regular fries was spectacular ($20). Special mention for the excellent horseradish aioli! The menu and other food coming out of the kitchen looks amazing. The Detroit style pizza is especially recommended. details: Bright industrial space with inviting vibe. Some surface parking in their lot on the side and rear.

    Incredible food! Holy smokes. I absolutely loved the pizza, and the cocktail was great too. Great service. Pretty chill at 7:45pm on a Sunday evening. If I'm in Lawrence, I'm coming back.

    Big Mill, what can't I say about you. Went after a KU victory. Food was bar none... certified deliciousness Wings and Za could not have been better Server was kind, place was clean and cool

    Buffalo wings

    Nothing but positive things to say about this place. Five of us went on a Tuesday night. They sat us outside, as requested. Turned on the heaters for us, as requested. The waiter came by frequently to check on us. He was patient, informed, helpful, friendly, polite, and professional. We ordered the chorizo nachos as an appetizer. Super yummy. Big enough for the 5 of us to share. I ordered the wings for r dinner as that was the special of the night and they were 1/2 of ($7). My brother and sister split the "Night Moves" pizza. My other sister got the kale and beets salad. My other sister got the fish and chips. I loved the wings. But I could only eat 4 after gorging myself on nachos. I took home the other 6 wings. My brother and sister had 2 slices of pizza leftover. My sister loved the salad and finished all of it. My other sister loved the fish and chips and we all tried them. The sauce is kind of sweet, but also has a lemony taste. She had leftovers and took it home. We really enjoyed ourselves. The heaters kept us very comfortable so we could all take off our coats outside after a while. The bill was very reasonable. I would definitely return.

    Honeymoon Pizza with Onion Rings and Mill Salad
    Ashton H.

    Pizza was different! But absolutely delicious no sauce but the way the honey with cheese hits was perfect. Onion rings thick but batter not too crunchy went perfectly with classic ketchup. Milo salad was a girls girls salad. Just the right of veggies and light dressing went smooth with the fresh brewed unsweetened tea.

    Perfect.

    Firstly, kudos to our nice waiter. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend the Mill Burger. This was really good and needed to additions. I suggest skipping fries and trying their Dill Slaw ----- omg. YUM. I could easily eat a bowl of this. My friend got the blackened chicken sandwich which she really enjoyed. She had an IPA that tasted like a summer Shandy which was lovely and I had the Black Widow cider. Hands down a really good meal. Now comes my disappointment and suggestions; so this note is for a manager or whoever does the menu. Your dessert menu is lack-luster. Like, really sad. For starters, the Pot de Creme was nice, love the orange zest on top. But $9 for the size you get, you have to be kidding me. At the very least, have it be the size of a coffee mug. Serving me a child size dollop of pudding that comes in a baby food jar isn't cool. We also tried the Ricotta Doughnuts... this is a hard pass. Yet again, $9 for something that isn't satisfying. You serve 6 balls with no powdered sugar and a 2 tablespoon size sauce that does nothing for this "dessert". My suggestion is ditch that old lady jam and add hot fudge instead. A side of vanilla ice cream would make it worth it. You can even remove 3 of the balls to make it decent. The doughnuts are dry, like zero moisture. It desperately needed some type of filling. So, after having an AMAZING meal, we ended the evening with these MEH desserts. Bummer. I give the place an overall 3.6 grading. Sadly, Yelp doesn't do half stars. It's not worthy of a 4 star rate but it is above the 3 mark. Would I return? Totally. But I'm skipping dessert.

    Excellent chicken sandwiches however, if you get Carrie out, make sure you have everything you need cause they're pretty stingy.

The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.

The vibe was fun and inviting, and it looks like they've carried over the magic from their super popular Christmas pop-up into a fresh, spring-inspired theme. It adds a really playful, seasonal touch without feeling overdone. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic--super friendly, attentive without hovering, and offered great suggestions that we actually ended up loving. Tip: Get a basket of French fries for the table! Overall, it's one of those spots that works for just about anything--family outings, catching a game, bigger group gatherings, or even a more low-key, intimate meal. Great atmosphere, great service, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

Some of my favorite food items include: the Bill Self Mac, ANY of the pizzas, Cobb Salad, Meatball Grinder, and Patty Melt.

My fiance and I went there for a family celebration after our engagement and they treated us with a delicious chocolate cake! This really sealed the deal on being one of my favorite places in Lawrence!
