Unique restaurant located at the gates of the Hocking Hills. The reclaimed materials - such as reclaimed bricks and hand hewn beams - create an interesting atmosphere. Staff at the front desk were friendly, but had a hard time pulling themselves from their phones to seat us. The waitress was pleasant and helpful. The mini cornbread muffins were delicious. The steak and ribs were cooked perfectly, although I would have liked a little more seasoning on the ribeye. The baked beans were on the sweet side, but overall a good flavor. Our baked potatoes weren't done. They brought a second potato and it was still undercooked. We didn't eat it. Overall, we left feeling satisfied and had more than enough to eat. Bring your appetite and lots of cash because they'll have you pay the card processing fee and an additional "supplemental fee" for added fun. I would have taken a picture of the food, but we were too hungry for a photoshoot. Overall we would recommend it, just don't get the baked potato. read more

We come down to the Hocking Hills area from Columbus once or twice a year, either to stay at a cabin, go hiking, or to go canoeing on the Hocking River. Whenever we're in the area, Millstone BBQ is our go-to dinner destination. The vibe fun & relaxing (especially during the summer when you can sit outside on their patio with live music). The food is great. And the price is quite reasonable. Only caveat is that they can be busy with a long wait to be seated if you come during the middle of the dinner rush. read more

Super friendly greeters and bar staff. No Yellow Jackets but they do have PBR in cans which is a plus. Hard to find a place that has regular beer for real people. Fantastic Southern cooking & BBQ! read more

As soon as we walked in, you could immediately smell the mustard inside the barbecue sauce. I knew I was in for a good meal. I ordered the KC full rack ribs and my wife got the pulled pork. We started the meal with the tater skins covered in bacon and pulled pork. Our mail was fantastic and the service was as well. We were a bit skeptical because of some of the brutal reviews we saw on Yelp. If you're visiting, this is definitely a spot to check out. Our server was Jin. read more

The brisket was dry and rubbery. It's not fresh and was dried out when reheated. The waitress was the only positive. She was polite and friendly. read more

Located right around Hocking Hills, my friend and I who did a little winter getaway to the area stopped here one night to grab some dinner. Hocking Hills is definitely more geared towards warmer weather times, as I feel like there's a lot less happening and probably opening in the winter months, but Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ was a perfect dinner spot for us on one of these cold nights! It was pretty full on a random weeknight, so I feel as though the locals come here for their dinners, which was a fun thing for us to experience. Highlight of the meal was definitely the complimentary mini cornbread muffins that they put on our table shortly after we sat down. My mind was absolutely BLOWN by this haha! I've never dined at any BBQ joint that has done this before and I'm a huge fan of cornbread! I can confidently say that these mini cornbread muffins really hit the spot - quality cornbread and just a complete bonus to the meal! Other than that, you'll find your traditional BBQ fare here. We split some crispy green beans, which actually is a more unique item and was breaded and tasted delicious! For my main, I got their open-faced dinner, which had brisket on top of a mound of mashed potatoes, all over some delicious texas toast just sopping in the gravy. It was hearty as hell and so delicious for a cold winter's night! I loved it all and finished every bite! Yum! Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ will be a great place to stop in the cold weather or even in warm weather when you have an ambitious day at Hocking Hills set up for before or afterwards! read more

We were in town for an event and happened to be staying at the hotel that this is in front of. We were quoted a 20 minute wait, but seated about 2 minutes later. My husband and I ordered the meat sampler to get a taste of everything. Don't sleep on the pulled chicken. What's usually a meh item was the best thing on the plate. The pulled pork was good as well. The turkey was interesting but not great. The brisket was really dry, but it was tender. My husband deemed the ribs inedible. I had high hopes for the Mac and cheese since they offer a dish based around it, but it was pretty bland. If you're from the south and excited about the little cornbreads, they're sweet. That's pretty par for the course around here though. It was a big place with indoor and outdoor seating and a cozy vibe. Overall, I would go back even if it was only for the chicken. read more

Service was okay but the food and ambiance of an old mine is what makes us want to come back here again. We suggest the three little pigs and their portobello mushroom dish. read more

While visiting Hocking Hills State Park, my wife and I had dinner here. Millstone is a very good BBQ restaurant! Let's start with the complimentary cornbread muffins. They were unexpected but delicious! Served with a whipped honey butter, they melt in your mouth. For dinner, my wife and I shared an order of smoked chicken wings, half a slab of ribs and some smoked turkey. The wings were excellent! The ribs were tender and very good. The smoked turkey was decent but not as good as the other food. I had a side of mac and cheese which was good; my wife had a salad that she said was delicious. Ambience is nice, service was good. read more

Staying in the area from out of town to visit Hocking Hills, and Millstone BBQ really hit the spot! Walked in on a Thurs evening and were seated right away - the restaurant is a good size with plenty of tables and a bar. We were surprised with complimentary mini corn bread muffins that came with a sweet whipped butter and loved these! Came out toasty warm and so yummy! Much better than a typical bread basket. I got the Millstone Combo which came with a choice of 2 meats and 2 sides. I got pulled pork, brisket, cole slaw, and mac & cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed this. The meat actually comes out dry (ie smoked/cooked with a rub/marinade/seasoning but is not "wet" BBQ). On the side, they had their Sweet & Tangy and Spicy Hot BBQs to add. I think the meats themselves would've been a little dry without the sauces, but this way people can add what they want and the amount they want. Between the two sauces, I slightly preferred the Sweet & Tangy, but they're good mixed together as well! We also got the Fried Green Beans with ranch and these were good as well! Came out piping hot, with the beans green and the perfect texture (not floppy nor too firm). These were breaded and deep fried. For the most part, mostly the fried breading and ranch flavors come through, but no complaints as those are tasty flavors! Front staff that seated us and our waitress were friendly and professional. Reasonable prices. Overall nice experience for dinner in Logan! read more

Wonderful food and service! Will be back if I'm ever in the area. Food is reasonably priced, came out quick, and was delicious. Impressed to say the least! Loves the general southern vibe too! read more

Loved the smoked turkey tonight, followed closely by the rather small piece of smoked sausage. The rest of our order was just not worth what we paid. It was like we were paying good money for table scraps or warming tray leftovers. I was ordered a meat sampler at a cost of $27. Ribs burned hard, no edible meat. Smoked chicken burned from cooking/smoking and dried out like it has been sitting in a warming tray uncovered for hours. Pulled pork had a couple of nice bites, the rest was fat, gristle, burned pieces or dried out meat chunks from sitting in a warming tray for hours. No brisket, no baked beans. Caesar salad made with old lettuce, iceberg and romaine mix that was turning brown. It appears take out orders don't have any quality control. Just slap some slop in a box or styrofoam container and throw it in a bag. Very disappointing food experience. Unfortunately it is becoming very common these days, over priced poorly prepared or old food being passed of as quality fresh food. read more

Our Airbnb recommended this place. What a disappointment. Our server was "thrilled" to be there. We were outside around 5pm and watched birds takeover three tables that had dirty dishes just sitting there. Another couple ended up cleaning those plates up while the server just kept doing her thing. Begrudgingly. The food was dryyyyy. We shared the BBQ sampler to get a taste of all their bbq offerings and not one was good. The fries were the only thing to mention. read more

The best think about this place was the young man who was our waiter. He was super good and did an excellent job. The restaurant inside is very nice too. The food came quickly. We had brisket and pulled pork, beans, and cafeteria mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was a scoop, and the cheese was not tasty at all. I was looking forward to a real cheesy mac, but it didn't make the cut. The meats were smoked but they lacked the flavor that you expect from the great process of smoking. And they were dry. I wanted to like this place and the food after a long day of hiking, but it was a little lack luster. read more

Brisket was extremely dry. Tasted like it was made a few days ago and it's been reheated a few times. Ultra small portion too for the price of the brisket. Would not call this place a true BBQ joint - more of a highway stop off if you need a quick bite - but nothing more. read more

We got carry out and had the smokehouse burger, the meat sampler and fried pickles. 10/10 so amazing especially after a long day of hiking

Ate here over the weekend and it was disappointing. Had the ribs and brisket. Brisket was dried out and tasted like rawhide. I had to use so much sauce on it or I wouldn't have been able to swallow it. The ribs had no flavor or taste really wondered if they were smoked. Don't think I will ever return here. This is not a good BBQ place. Good luck. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in for lunch on my birthday weekend. I love bbq and this restaurant didn't disappoint. I was expecting it to be more fast casual, but it was a sit down restaurant and our server David was amazing!! The cornbread was delicious, as well as all 3 meats we tried. My boyfriend had the Texas trio with brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken with fries. I had the Millstone combo with brisket and pulled pork with a salad (huge!) and pit beans. The beans were unexpectedly so good and the sauce from it was great with the meat! Will definitely be back on our next visit to Hocking Hills! read more

Well, I had high hopes. My brisket dinner consisted of 3 slices of the driest protien. It was nearly jerky. The sauces were very good, but even they weren't enough to revive the slices of dried out haunch. The french fries were excellent. I received, dimensionally, a quantity that would have struggled to fill an 8oz. cup. The beans were excellent, and had I received a spoon to scoop them out instead of my fork, they might have been legendary. Our server treated us as off-hand as possible. Once the food was on the table, no check in, no refills. I was there on a Tuesday afternoon, so it wasn't exactly busy... The toilet appeared to have been serviced recently and gives this place an additional star. So, there's definitely better BBQ out there. There's definitely places that will take good care of you too. This isn't one of them. One star for sauces and beans. One for the sparkly commode. Your mileage may vary. read more

We ate here twice. Couldn't beat the service, Gracie was our server both nights. Great cocktails. Gracie makes a mean X Dirty Martini. The Fried green beans are delicious. We love it here. read more

As a local we pop in here on occasion, what a fall from what it used to be. The bartender had the personality of a fencepost, the guy next to us was talking so loud through an earpiece into his phone that we moved to a table. We got our muffins which has the quality of a dense clearance muffin from Kroger, cold and would knock someone out if they got hit in the head with it. Was hoping the pulled pork sandwich would save the night, don't get me wrong the flavor of the pork was good but was barely above room temperature on a slow Friday night at prime time. (6-7pm). Key words "slow Friday night", overall the hot French fries and $1.50 Coors light pints give it a 2 star rating. Unfortunately all 4 of the restaurants in this street are not what they used to be or in Voltolinis case, never was. read more

Bar staff is friendly and attentive. Nice selection of beers, ciders and even a mead on draft. The cornbread is heavenly with a delectable crumb and light sweetness. I enjoyed the fried green beans and am so glad I ordered them. read more

Service was very good on top of everything. Burnt ends was not traditional burnt ends brisket wrapped with bacon not very tasty. Wings were Smokey and mango habereno sauce was sweet and spicy well rounded flavor load potato skins were good. read more

Almost passed this up bc the rating wasn't favorable but hubby wanted BBQ...Im so glad we stopped- The free cornbread muffin appetizer alone was worth it. I had the smoked pulled pork dinner with green beans and sweet potato fries. My hubby had the brisket, baked beans, and coleslaw. Needless to say, we cleaned our plates! Our server was also very friendly and attentive. We are hoping to stop back in for some blackberry cobbler before we head home. If you like BBQ, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food was pretty good, the service was lacking. We came on a not very busy Tuesday evening. It took 20 minutes to get a table, even though plenty seemed to be available. We ordered two meals, and it took almost 30 minutes to get our food. One meal was hot and fresh, but the other was barely warm. read more

We arrived at the tail end of the Friday night rush. We were seated reasonably quickly. The ribs, brisket, and pulled pork were all delicious. The selection of barbecue sauces was limited, though. Overall, this place is recommended. read more

Visited the area over the weekend. This place came recommended and we love BBQ. 1. Cool place, friendly bartender! 2. Great BBQ sauce 3. Generous meat portions for main course - overall decent for the price 4. Prices have gone up and if you're using a debit card expect to be charged for this as a service fee. It's happening all over but still not a good feel with already increased food prices. 5. Staff was HUSTLING! Kudos to them! We arrived at 4:30 thinking we might beat the rush - this was not the case and that's fine we don't mind a wait. 6. No clean utensils or plates for use with the mini corn breads or appetizers - they are busy so clearly behind on the back. Fingers were made before forks so we made due. Patience is needed for sure. Our only disappointment was the burnt ends (see photo, taken as they arrived). 4 pieces for fairly dry meat for $14.49 is STEEP. I'd rather be told they were sold out than to pay $3.60 a piece for a very small mediocre appetizer. Overall, okay. read more

My husband and I can here for lunch. Great atmosphere, nice outdoor patio. I had the smoked Turkey Sandwhich and it was amazing. My husband had thenBrisket sandwhich, it was decent, a little chewy but not an overly smokey flavor which is good. He said he'd get the turkey sandwhich instead if we come back. Cornbread bites were super yummy and he had sweet potato fries also good. I had a side salad instead of fries which was good. You could tell it was assembled freshly. Overall 4/5 stars just cause his brisket sandwhich was slightly disappointing read more

Probably the most dry meat with the strangest flavor I've ever had. I got the pulled pork and it was not good. My baked potato was dry. The Mac and cheese was dry. I feel like they let all the food sit in warming pans or something!? My friend got the bbq beef brisket which was also so dry. Our server was not around much so I can't even say the service was good. Very disappointing place to eat during a vacation to Hocking Hills. read more

The service was absolutely clueless must be her first ever job kinda felt bad. Took 15 minutes to get my beer then 5 minutes later for my wife's. Food came out steak so over cooked couldn't eat it. Ordered a platter with ribs and pulled chicken, ribs so thin you could see the bones. The pulled chicken was actually cold and dry possibly could have put sauce on it but didn't get any. Platter was supposed to come with sweet potato fries and came with a potato. Decided to not even bother trying scarf this down and refused the food. We paid for the two beers tipped the server for the effort and said it's time to go find food. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY read more

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed this place yet... When I lived in the area and visited Hocking Holls frequently, this place was a must. There's been a few times I had to skip because they couldn't give an estimated wait time, and there's a good reason for that. The food is outstanding. My go tos when stopping in were the Three Little Pigs, different smoked meat sandwiches (depending on my mood), or the delmonico steak (I think this is no longer on the menu). The food and service were always consistently good. Definitely a must visit if you're in the area. read more

This was my favorite restaurant in the Logan area, but things changed, now I hate the food (except for the muffins). It all started with the fries, why mess with what is working! Good service though! read more

The food at Millstone is amazing!!! Highly recommend the Carolina Pork Rolls!!! The mini cornbread muffins taste more like a dessert they are sooo good we always ask for an order of them and their butter to go! Service is wonderful! If you get there and there is a wait of 25-30 minutes DO NOT leave it is most definitely worth the wait! Plus they always get us in sooner! 5 review read more

Service is great. Atmosphere is cool. The meat was not up to par. Brisket was dry and not cooked well. The sides were good overall but nothing special. read more

I believe this is about the third time we've been to Millstone (not from the area), and there's definitely a reason we keep going back. Firstly, the mini muffins they give you before the main meal are absolutely delicious, and they give you more than you could ever eat! Then the menu has a lot of variety, and you can easily customize your sides. We had Brooke as our server, and she was phenomenal. We were kind of tucked in a back corner, but she never forgot about us. She kept us refilled on drinks and honestly answered any questions we had about the menu. She was able to provide great recommendations. The only reason for the four stars as opposed to five is the fact that one of our orders was incorrect. We chose not to send it back as the food took a bit to come out. Other than that, great experience! read more

Had a delicious dinner at Millstone. Wait was 30 mins(not bad for a Fri night). Could have been shorter if we'd been quicker to grab a bar seat. I had the Pulled Pork, my wife had the brisket sliders. And the cornbread muffins are to die for. Emma, our server was excellent, and the food came out quick. read more

Ordered pulled pork entree and was served cold, greasy meat with a golf ball size glob of fat. Worst barbecue experience ever.

I've been to Millstone several times but this was the first time I ordered a hamburger. It was perfectly cooked to order and very tasty. Not sure how many burgers they do in a bbq joint but it was delicious. Service was good as usual. read more
