We went to the Oktoberfest Oct.1, 2023 for the first time. Let me tell you this was AWESOME! The band was great the beer was fantastic and the food to die for. I mean the food was sooooooooo good!! We can't wait to go back next year and celebrate October again here. The weather was also spectacular which really helps on an outdoor/indoor event. I am also going to be booking a dinner here this Saturday for my birthday. A very nice restaurant, close to home, and worth every bite! Thank you for your service! Sharon D. from Mont Vernon :) read more

3 course meal with great quality. Menu changes with the season. They also provide a space for a beautiful wedding. Inside the building you'll find a fire in the fireplace with a rustic like atmosphere read more

Firstly, what a beautiful venue. Gardens, ponds all set in a tucked wooded setting. We were there for a wedding, and was so pleasantly surprised at how perfect of a setting it was. Sarah out does herself as the hostess. Her sincerity genuine, her smile welcoming, and her keen eye to details shows why the place has its reputation. The staff were all friendly, fun, engaging, that they felt like friends. Tasty hors d'oeuvres, nice buffet spread, and really delicious tri tips! If you are looking for a very special venue whether it be for a party or a wedding, look no further. Every one of your guests (including you) will have a long lasting memory of the Mile Away. read more

Schnitzel! Going to miss this place, best schnitzel in NH. Great waitstaff, the owner was nice enough to take our picture and tell a few stories about the place. Beautiful quaint farmhouse setting and a lot of great cuckoo clocks and blue willow plates. Great place read more

Don't waste your money. We arrived and stood at hostess desk for a good 10 mins waiting for someone to arrive- restaurant was not busy. Service SUCKED! Our waitress said she worked there for 5 years.. she was so timid, didn't know what a Kir was and was Sooo slow. Took do or ever to get served, made mistakes- ridiculous. Menu very confusing and upcharged everything for supposedly a 4 course meal. Iced tea- no free refills at $3 each??? I think not. We got charged for 5 when we had 2 small glasses filled with ice and two refills. I'll never eat here again. read more

Gorgeous converted Pre-Revolutionary War barn. Great food with Austrian - Swiss influence. Great service.

We love the mile away! We've been coming fairly regularly after things started getting back to normal post pandemic and have loved the patio area. The bartender Chelsea and waiter Bryce are awesome! Attentive, knowledgeable, and engaging. Makes every experience that much better. Recently went to Oktoberfest and had a blast! Things were a little hectic when they opened with long line for everything, but once the initial rush calmed down, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the great food beautiful gardens, music and beer. We recommend to everyone in the area. read more

I have come here for years--like when my mother was pregnant. My meal, as always was awesome. Not one complaint. I had the Swede balls, haddock, Swiss potatoes, et tu Brute' salad and lemon mascarpone cake. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Waitress Alex in training did an awesome job taking care of us. She was top notch. read more

The food was not that good. I got french onion soup. I could spoon the oil off the top. A tarragon chicken dish that had no taste of tarragon it was bland. My husband got the duck. He said it was just ok. Very overpriced for what I actually got and I felt like we were being rushed read more

Back again for a visit around Valentine's Day. Mile Away continues to shine and remains our place for a romantic dinner with great food. Grateful that you keep high standards that draw customers back. Thanks Mile Away team!! read more

This is the first Yelp review I have ever left, because our experience was so awful I felt obliged to. We were planning to have lunch outside on the patio at Mile Away on Sunday afternoon. We have have only been here one other time. We arrived and took seats at the bar. Immediately, both bartenders looked annoyed that we had arrived. The only other people sitting at the bar were clearly friends of theirs, and they could not be bothered to have to attend to anyone else. We have both worked in the service industry before so get it, but that being said we were genuinely made to feel uncomfortable and like we were interrupting them to ask for a drink or anything we needed. They continued to talk badly about the chef of the restaurant and when the chef stated that there was something on the menu that we wasn't on the menu, we said "you're right, it's not on here!" in support of them. They said "glad you were listening", implying that we were eavesdropping and then ignored us while they continued to talk loudly about it. Listen. I get it. It's been an awful 16 months for those who work in the service industry, and I would never, ever write a review like this if it wasn't completely warranted. That being said, I have never felt so uncomfortable and so disrespected when we are very low maintenance people who understand the service industry. Don't go here. read more

Discovered this restaurant a few months ago on date night and absolutely love it. Atmosphere is rustic with wide pine floors and wooden walls. The grounds of the restaurant itself are peaceful. I only wish there was currently outdoor seating. According to one employee, an outdoor bar is in the works. The menu is what I love most about this restaurant. There is a perfect amount of variety and you are left struggling to choose which of the many delicious sounding options to eat that day. Service is quick and friendly. I have yet to eat anything I didn't like. If you are looking for a new place to go for a quiet date night, this is definitely worth a try. read more

My nana has always hosted Thanksgiving, but now that she's in her 90s we thought we'd take her out for it instead! We had a great holiday dinner at Mile Away. Full cocktail menu including caramel apple vodka sangria, 4 course meal with great choices (I had the maple salmon for an entree) and we all especially loved our desserts. The atmosphere is quiet, cozy, and warm with the big fireplace up front, and all the staff were super friendly. Thanks for making our non-traditional Thanksgiving a great experience! read more

Mile Away Restaurant - Thanksgiving drinks - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Milford, New Hampshire

We've enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner here on a number of occasions. Today we tried The Patio to enjoy the sun and be outdoors. We were graciously greeted by the bartender who was also our waitperson. He was excellent and the patio setting was comfortable. . However, the food is way overpriced for what they serve. The potato salad appeared to have been made by leftover red potatoes that had been grilled when originally served. The Patio Cuba was $18 and arrived with 2 slices of bread doused in mustard with a slice of ham and a tiny bit of pulled pork with cheese melted into the bread. Frankly, it was awful. My dining partner was OK with his BLT and chips! So not a total loss. read more

Its been over 6 months since visiting the Mile Away, but while going through photos on my computer a particular picture brought back my memory of the place. The place in nestled on a country road in what appears to be an old farm house. The interior clean, simply decorated yet rustic. Whats great about this review is that although I forgot what I had for a main entree, there are some very memorable details that made this place stand out to me. All dinner include salad, your choice of appetizer, entree, vegetable and desert. We chose a wine "flight" which featured four small glasses of red wines. I've seen it done with beer, but never with wine. The appetizers selections were interesting and diverse. I chose the Swedish meatballs, then on to a lovely mixed green salad which did not appear to have been dumped from a premixed bag-o-greens. As I said before I forgot what my main entree was. My vegetable choice was glazed acorn squash with golden raisins yum! Dinner was enjoyable and filling. Although desert was included I could not eat another bite. The waitress packed up our desert choice (mine was apple strudel) which tasted homemade. Excellent value! read more

This is better than great. We recently went for a romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversity. I should start by saying I have been coming to The Mile Away since 1979 and it has never failed to satisfy and at times wow me. This was a WOW time. At our recent visit we discovered that The Mile Away had updated their menu but not their prices. Plus the best was yet to come. I have travelled a lot and have had Veal Marsala out at many restaurants. It is a dish I could use to judge a new place. A My wife ordered the Chicken Piccata and I Veal Marsala. BOTH dishes were out of this world and probably the best I have ever tasted. The veal was tender, the sauce perfect in its texture and taste. It did not overpower but accent the tender veal. My wife had the same experience. Now I do cook at home and have attempted this at home. There was something quite different and delicious about the sauce at the Mile Away, so I called and asked if it was X ingredient. They said yes. I made it that night and honestly will have to tweak the amounts I used but my Marsala is forever changed. Let me add the service was out of this world. The server suggested a little bread to soak up the delicious sauce in the Escargot. Great call. The atmosphere is wonderful and all in all an 11 star restaurant. BTW very reasonably priced too. read more

Whether you like this restaurant or not depends solely on your feelings toward your grandma's house, because that's exactly what it looks like on the inside (I swear their utensils came from my grandma's yard sale in '09). Moving on. I have a rule that I don't eat seafood unless I'm within 15 miles of the Atlantic, but our waitress' mean Boston accent made me trust this joint. My intuition was spot-on. My clams tasted like they were hand-picked from the ocean by a guy on a boat named something like "The Gloucestah Monstah". Solid stuff. Bravo, grandma. read more

Review #99 and photo #444! Sorry, just wanted to mention that to myself because it sounded cool and repetitive. Okay, now for the review... I came to The Mile Away in Mildford, NH for a nice outdoor wedding on a day that the weather people were forecasting rain showers at times. Instead, we were blessed with really blue skies and warm weather, and I feared for my fair skin because I didn't think to slather on any sunblock. The wedding coordinator lady at The Mile Away was pretty good at encouraging folks out to the back, for the wedding, and then later back in for the luncheon. The wedding set up out back was simple yet pretty, and they wisely had a path of stone paving the way so the ladies had some support for their heels as they made their way down to their seats. There's also a white tent back there, but we didn't use it - we were really glad the lunch was to be indoors where there was air conditioning and fewer bugs to contend with. After the wedding ceremony, we drifted off to an area of tables and chairs that was well covered by the shade of trees as we consumed passed appetizers as well as the healthier selections of fruit and veggies and ummm... cheese and crackers - less healthy, but still there nontheless. Soda and alcohol was available at the indoor bar, and ice water was set out for our convenience at a table close to the fruit table. I found all three passed apps tasty and not at all dry - a selection of mini quiches, chicken with a mango dipping sauce, two types of bruschetta. For our lunch, we took up eight tables of 8-10 people... unfortunately though, the layout of the room placed a staircase in the middle, so that those sitting in the back room could hear but not see the happenings on or by the dance floor. On the whole, the food was great. They started us off with a fruit plate with a scoop of raspberry (?) sorbet. Unfortunately the watermelon was a pale pink and not very sweet. The salad was a little overdressed, but I enjoyed the mixed greens, carrot, tomato and cucumber blend, croutons and all. The same selection of vegetables and oven roasted potatoes dressed each entree plate, but everyone was happy with their selection, whether it be beef tenderloin, chicken cordon bleu, or shrimp. I got the shrimp. It was four stuffed shrimp per plate - the stuffing a breadcrumb based sort (no seafood that I could see) that was not too dry but not particularly special, which it did its job of keeping the shrimp moist. The vegetables were prepped well; they lost none of their color nor natural flavors. The cake, now that stood out... we were surprised to find out that it was prepared inhouse. It was a tasty, moist, not too sweet rendition, with not too sweet a frosting. read more

Easter dinner with my wife was superb! Perfectly fired orders. Food that was equally above grade. This was a wonderful holiday dinner. Thank you Mile Away for helping us make a great memory. As I mentioned to our waitress, the Swedish Meatballs were like "a hug from your grandmother. So comforting." My wife had the lamb which was very, very good, I had the tenderloin of beef which was perfectly cooked and so tasty! read more

Another one of my favorite local spots. The Mile-Away in Milford (NH) may be a bit off the beaten path; but well worth finding. The place has a distinctly German flare, but the menu offers something for everyone. As for value, the Four Course Dinner Special can't be beat. The staff is always friendly and attentive. On a recent visit Alex was my server and she was outstanding, and I can always count on Janet for an outstanding Manhattan read more

This is a huge banquet style building with a giant moose over one of the fire places to set the scene. They have many traditional German and European dishes to enjoy including my favorite beef stroganoff. This is an older scene not great for romantic dates or for younger couples . Typically in the summer they will also have a wedding on site which usually fills up the marking lot. Where they do you wrong is a couple of ways, they have a chicken liver patte that they serve on cheap crackers instead of a toasted bread. There sides are something out of a dooms day bunker, pickled beefs, mixed veggies, carrots and peas all from cans are an obvious throw away and the only detail they lose points from me. read more

During the Covid pandemic, we decided to have our anniversary dinner at The Mile Away on Saturday. The atmosphere with the outdoor seating was very nice. All servers were wearing masks and also practiced physical distancing. It took a while to be waited on (we had to ask the host if he could send someone over to take our drink order) but were trying to be patient. All other servers were on their game but unfortunately, ours was a bit on the slow side overall. The food was spectacular as usual. My only complaint would be the Jager sauce for the Weinerschnitzel. For a $2 upcharge, I would've expected more quantity than approx. 3 tablespoons (approximate) of sauce. Other than that, a good experience! read more

We really enjoy Mile away! We'll definitely be back! The atmosphere is so comfy and cozy and the food is wonderful! read more

Went on a Saturday at 6:30... place was packed. Older clientele. Cleared out by 8. The service was attentive, and the food was overall very good. The sauce on the Jaegerschnitzel was bland, and the veal itself had no seasoning. Fruit cup was also very bland, I wouldn't have offered it in this season. But other than that, a solid choice. The prices were quite reasona read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at the Mile Away. The service, food, and ambiance were superb. The staff went over the top to follow the necessary protocols for safety of the diners. Thank you Mike Away! read more

Simply delicious meal with great prices. Exceeded expectations. I had the roast duck and the wife had the chicken cordon bleu. We enjoyed the fresh delectable salads and dessert. We chose the wrong champagne but that was our fault. The rest was great. read more

The 60s called and the want their restaurant back. Good food, good service, stuck in the past

About a week before we all became housebound, my wife and I were taking out two friends for a special thank you dinner. Our guests had never been there before (they lived on the seacoast until recently moving to Manchester). Everyone enjoyed their meal very much. None of us usually order desert. However the Mile Away offers you the option to turn your entree into a four course dinner for an additional $4 (worth it, worth it, worth it). The service was efficient and friendly and all courses were very enjoyable. When things get back to normal we will all look forward to a return trip, with a few more friends too. read more

Rolled up on a Friday evening around 8pm, we had made a reservation just in case since we had not been before. Their hours are strictly dining times, from 5pm - 9pm, Tuesday through Saturday. Parking was easy, they have a large lot. Upon crossing the threshold we both caught a certain "old home" scent, more on that later. We were promptly seated, probably did not need the reservation. The interior is a rustic German and Swiss lodge feel. There are a couple of different dining rooms. We were seated in a smaller room by a window overlooking there grounds. It was getting dark, but you could see that the grounds were kept nicely. The waitress was a woman in her 50s I would guess. She was friendly, prompt and professional. Seated in my chair, I took in the surroundings and glanced over the other patrons of the Mile Away, and I asked my wife "did we just crash the wrap party for 'Cocoon 3: Live Free or Die'?" Sliced bread was offered while she took our drink orders. I am a bit of a beer snob, so I was happy to see that they had much more than the standard Bud, Heineken, Amstel Light offerings. Local Milford brewery Pennichuck was on draft, props for supporting the hometown brewery. I ordered a Julius Echter Hefeweizen, it was served in the bottle with a proper Weizen glass adorned with a lemon. I tossed the lemon, as any quality hefeweizen should not need to be altered from what the brewer intended. But if you're drinking a Corona, by all means go ahead and throw a whole lime in there! The wine list was substantial but I did not spend much time looking at the individual bottles offered. The entrees are all served with an appetizer, salad, main course with sides, and dessert. Sometimes the quality of the food suffers when restaurant does it this way, but I'm glad to say it did not here. All the food served was tasty. I had Swedish Meatballs along with a tossed salad to start off with, my main course was a NY strip with Swedish potato (riced and fried with diced canadian bacon), braised cabbage and mixed vegetables. The portions were medium to large. I had the swedish meatballs, tossed salad, NY strip steak along with steamed veggies, Swedish potato (riced and fried w/ canadian bacon). My dinner came in at $24.95, which I thought was an excellent value for the amount and quality. I had a Grimburgen Dubbel with my dinner, and at $4.50 this is a super value for a solid Belgian beer at a restaurant. It wasn't served in proper glassware, a chalice in this case, but I can forgive that for the price. For dessert I had the chocolate raspberry cake with a cup of coffee, while my wife had the key lime cheesecake, both were good. As we left the restaurant through the front door, my wife and I came across that peculiar scent, it reminded us of "old homes". Not in a bad way really, you know maybe Aunt Ester's house or ol' Miss Jenkins' place. Overall the experience was very good, despite our olfactory curiosities. We will definitely go back and I would recommend The Mile Away to other folks in the surrounding areas. Dnner specials are updated on their website. read more

Man, I wish there were half-stars available on Yelp because so often I want to add a half! I want to give The Mile Away Restaurant 3.5 stars. Made a reservation here on a whim on a Friday night. I had seen the restaurant from afar a few times while out on a run around town, and always wanted to check it out. Pretty green farmland frames the picturesque farmhouse and when you reach the entrance you are greeted by two large rich looking wooden doors. As soon as I opened the door I felt like I had left Milford. This place really doesn't seem to feel like it belongs in this small NH town. The food here is a Swiss/German style and it is reflected in the decor. Cozy roaring fireplaces, dark wooden beams, and pictures of European countrysides, mixed with average looking tables and chairs, give the restaurant the feel of both a romantic Swiss Chalet, and your German grandmother's house. I know, it sounds contradictory but it somehow works. The price of your entree (prices range from $17.95-$26.95) includes an appetizer, salad and a desert. The appetizers include Vichyssoise, Soup Du Jour, Swedish Meatballs and Baked Stuffed Clams. There are also appetizers you can substitute for a small price, like Crab Cakes or Escargot. For your Salad course, you can choose between Caesar Salad or Mixed Greens and a choice of dressings for the mixed greens. The desert choices are selections from a pastry tray, sorbet and peach melba. The entrees consist of different types of Schnitzel, Marsala, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Rack of Lamb, and several Steak and Seafood dishes. For my appetizer, I chose the Baked Stuffed Clams. Two large clam shells arrived brimming with golden brown stuffing. One of them seemed to have absolutely no clam in it and the other was pretty generously stuffed with chopped pieces of clam. The stuffing was tasty but a little dry (the food was super hot when it arrived so it may have gotten dried out during it's time in the oven). Overall, I was a little disappointed by my appetizer but knowing there were several other items heading my way all for less than $30, I wasn't bothered by it. Probably wouldn't order that appetizer again though. John had the Swedish Meatballs and he loved them. The serving is 3 meatballs and he was trying to think of ways to get more of them! We both had the mixed green salad. Very fresh, mixed greens, and generous slices of tomatoes, and cucumbers. The dressings were very good also. For entrees, I had the Chicken Oscar and John had the Weinerschnitzel. The Chicken Oscar was sauteed Chicken medallions with asparagus, crabmeat and hollandaise sauce. The Chicken was cooked perfectly, the crabmeat was soft and moist, and the asparagus was crisp. The hollandaise sauce though? Not so good. Hollandaise sauce is not easy to get right but when it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad, it's just wrong. Luckily there wasn't so much hollandaise sauce on my meal that it ruined it, I pushed aside most of t and ate the rest. The rest of the dish was very good. John's Schnitzel was very good. It was pounded very thin and the breading was thin but had a nice crust to it. He ate every bite of the enormous piece of veal. We were ridiculously stuffed by desert, but it was included so what are you gonna do? I had the lemon sorbet and John had a piece of chocolate cake. Both were really good. The coffee was decent too. Overall, The Mile Away has a couple of things going for it. It's a great value, has an adorable and comfortable atmosphere, generous portions, attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, and quality homestyle food. What it lacks in Wow-factor, it makes up for in other ways. None of the food blew me away, but it was good, and tasted like Mom made it. I'll definitely be going back to try out a few other Entrees. I have hopes that items without hollandaise will be better! I will update this review when I do. One last tip-make sure you are REALLY hungry when you go. It's a lot of food! read more

We have loved Mile Away for years. Valentine dinner was very disappointing. When made reservations I was not told special menu for Valentines..the only thing I eat there is the steak..no steak on menu. Compromised and ordered cuts of tenderloin, it was chewy and tasteless. Food was cold. Service was rude and slow. Received bill it was $118 gave $150. waited for change..never came..in fact waitress said from the other side of room..in front of all patrons..after 10 or so minutes " Did you need something else" we were mortified and did not say anything..no way would I have given 29% tip for that meal and service read more

I booked this restaurant a month ago (party of 5) to celebrate a friends birthday & holiday brunch at 1pm (opening time) today. The restaurant has a quite cozy & quaint atmosphere in a old farmhouse style setting. The host hurried us to a cozy nook in the corner at 1:05 pm. The friendly waitress warmly welcomed us and immediately took our beverage order. At 1:20p the host approached our table and ask if we knew when the last guest will arrive, while I was giving my friend phone directions to the restaurants entrance. She then informed us that our table will be "flipped" right after we finished dining. We found it very rude since we just sat down. As we looked around the room, we noticed 9 empty tables in that particular room, two tables occupied with two patrons and another table occupied four. Throughout our meal my friends and I felt rushed and weren't able to fully enjoy each other's company since we supposedly had a time limit. We ordered the filet mignon and Salmon, both dishes equally delicious. The chocolate mouse cake & cheesecake was scrumptious. Overall, food was perfectly cooked and the prices were reasonable. read more

Excellent restaurant in Milford, NH. I went home for the holidays to see my folks in North Central Massachusetts. We anticipated that nobody would want to cook at the house the day after Christmas. As a result, mom made reservations at Mile Away in advanced. This is a recommended strategy, as the restaurant can get busy. What an excellent experience! The restaurant is housed in a barn built in 1812, which was part of a farm dating back to 1746. You really feel like you are in a barn once you enter the dining area, which boasts one of the largest and most authentic fireplaces I have ever seen. Service was very good, as our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. He even gave us a solid tip on a tea store down the street. The food was delicious and plentiful. I ordered a four-course dinner, which came with an appetizer, salad, entrée with a side, and dessert. The cost for the entire meal was $26, which I found to be extremely reasonable. Started off with the Swedish meatballs and they were tasteful. Caesar salad came next, and the lettuce was extremely fresh. My entrée was the duck du jour, which came in a blackberry sauce. This was outstanding, and I recommend getting the rice pilaf as a side. Finished the meal with a bang by devouring the chocolate layer cake. We left with full stomachs and fond memories. Thanks for the great meal! I highly recommend trying it. read more

We enjoyed a great dinner at the Mile a Way Restaurant this evening. It's all about the atmosphere here, cozy and welcoming, with NH hospitality at its best. The food is second to none, four courses for a reasonable price. Haddock with Newburgh sauce was perfection, as was the rack of lamb. Perfect portion size, too. Not many places offer a "soup to nuts" dinner anymore, and this place does it right. An enjoyable evening out at a beautiful restaurant! read more

My week in Nashua has basically been spent in the 3 mile span between the hotel and the office. I've had some great food, but most of it has been amongst the strip malls and chains. Last night we took the drive to Mile Away, and i finally feel like I got to see a little bit of New Hampshire.....this is what the postcards look like. Walking into the restaurant you feel like you've walked into someones house, the dining room is a beautiful two story open room with the biggest fireplace I've ever seen. And unlike another Nashua chain I've visited while here... the moose in Mile Away does not talk. At first, I was a little shocked at the menu prices, but then I was told the dinner price includes appetizer, salad/soup, entree, and dessert. I love that. The entire meal in one price. The food was amazing. I loved it. I had to Weinerstizel Parmigiana and it was incredible. So far, Mile Away has been my highlight of my trip to Nashua. If you're in the area I highly suggest you stop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

We left this place very full. Generally speaking this restaurant offers a four-course meal for just a few dollars more than the price of an entree. The prices of the entrees are reasonable in themselves, but unless you are arriving at the restaurant with a half full stomach, you get the full value if you go with the four course meal. The courses are an appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. All were amazing, though I will say that their flourless cake was served a little too chilled. Casual, rustic atmosphere, full bar. We'll be back. read more

This place is quaint and different. It has a bit of history and charm. Big wedding venue. I like it for pre-fixe idea. However, while the interesting menu items are there - the quality of the food is only fair. I'd say they buy from Sysco or the like and dress it up. I'd expect them to use more artisan cheeses and bread, for example. Farm to table idea would be more in keeping with the atmosphere and prices. The actual building is historic and pretty. You're paying a lot for atmosphere only. I like that it's not an Olive Garden type place - it's small family owned. But the food quality is no better. It's just dressed up in higher end offerings. read more
