One of my favorite bar/restaurants in the area. Classic; been here for years. Food is great always home-made with fresh ingredients. NEW to the menu (on occasion) is smoked bar-b-que. Really, really good! Yesterday I had smoked St. Louis ribs. So good, so juicy that you don't even need to use your hands to eat. The meat literally falls off the bone with just a fork. Getting hungry again just thinking about it. Homemade baked beans and French fries out of this world. Another nice touch, you can get a half size order. Try it sometime. Pretty sure you're gonna enjoy. Check ahead though to make sure bbq is on the menu for that day.

Came here after a day in Manchester geocaching & flying kites with the kids. We were famished and in search of pizza. When the place we tried to go to had a 30 minute wait, we ventured to restaurant.com and ended up here. From the outside appearance, I wasn't sure if this place would be appropriate for kids, and after 9pm it's probably not, but at 6pm it was fine and the inside was actually nicely appointed for a meal. We were sat, and immediately the host asked if we were using a restaurant.com certificate (they must get alot), i replied, "Yes", and we were handed "coupon menus". Coupon menus?? WTF. I asked my brother-in-law to reach behind him and get me a "regular" menu, as i suspected they were raising the prices or something. They weren't, phew! But they were restricting some of the higher priced dishes, like Filet Mignon. If one were to use a $25 GC from restaurant.com, and order the filet, and 2 beers, you could walk out w/ tax & tip for about $16 (that's a steal). So we settled on shared apps for the table. Buffalo wings, nachos & sausage grinder. Everything was pretty delicious. The wings were perfectly spicy and crispy, but still tender & juicy on the inside. The sausage grinder had great flavor, and the sauce was really good. The nachos were exactly how nachos should be, piled high, still crispy and not drowned in toppings, but not skimped either. Service wasn't exactly outgoing, but was prompt & courteous. $33 w/ tax & tip after our $25 GC, not a bad deal. If i'm in the area i would return.

Back in the day bar. Like going back in time. Definitely a locals bar. but they were very friendly to this non-local. I wasn't planning on eating and then I found Escargot on the menu. Snails are very difficult to find these days. They were baked in a ceramic dish with cheese, butter and tons of garlic. They were delicious and there had to be at least 10 pieces. It is also served with two pieces of sourdough like toast that is great for dipping in the sauce. They have a nice selection of craft drafts. The barkeep is super friendly and did the follow-up that is rare to find these days. Nice ambiance. Plenty of off street parking in the rear.

Good food, good beer, and good times. DEFINITELY get the nachos and try the lasagna special when its available (about a ten square inch slab of carby, fatty deliciousness). There is one bar tender during happy hour that makes drinks strong enough for a good night.

I had lunch here today with a few coworkers. It was my first time here. It's a very lovely facility…read moreinside and outside. I totally enjoyed the chicken cordon bleu. It was paired with perfectly cooked carrots, green beans, brussel sprouts and rice. While I was there I picked up $100 worth of gift cards and got a $25 card FREE! I can't wait to go back !

visited Mill on the River on Mother's Day and unfortunately the experience did not live up to the…read moreprice or expectations. From the moment we arrived, the front desk area felt disorganized and overcrowded. The young hostesses were not very welcoming and didn't greet guests with a smile or provide direction on where to stand or wait, which made the entrance experience awkward and chaotic. There is no bathroom downstairs so you would have to go upstairs for the restrooms The restaurant was offering a $70 prefix menu, which honestly did not feel worth the cost. For that price, you only received soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert. I really think an appetizer should have been included considering the price point, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. We were seated downstairs near the kitchen, and it was extremely warm and uncomfortable down there during the meal. On a positive note, the service itself was fairly quick, and our waiter was very attentive and friendly, which was appreciated. Overall though, the atmosphere, organization, and value for the money left us disappointed. This did not include drinks and automatic gratuity was included in the bill since we had a party of 6.
