We love Millstone. Staff is very friendly and attentive. We live in Dayton and while we would not drive 2 hours to eat here, it's definitely a must stop when we do visit the HH area. Smoked wings were the best I've ever had. And you will not leave hungry even with a lunch portion. One of a kind place with unique atmosphere, and without question the best place to eat when you are in Logan. You will not be disappointed! read more

Meh. Service and drinks were great as were the appetizers but $25 for a 10 ounce fat ridden ribeye....overpriced.

The service was great, and we didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes on a Friday night. The meat sampler was so smoky and tender. We got the Carolina rolls for an appetizer, which is like a pulled pork egg roll. Delicious all the way around. We will definitely come back. Everything was amazing, I don't know how other reviewers have bad experiences. Must eat here! read more

Drove 45 to eat here. Was put on wait list and told hour and a half wait. I got the message table was ready in 45 minutes so went to check in. Took me 15 min to get there and was told they told me they took me off the list and was told had to be put back on waiting list. Lady at counter was so rude. I will never go back! Thanks for making my birthday day special! read more

Meals begin with mini corn muffins. I ordered the smoked Turkey dinner with a baked potato and steamed broccoli and that was good. My husband got the pulled chicken alfredo and a side salad and his meal was delicious. The service was a bit slow but the food was worth going for. read more

I have stopped in here many times during my road trips to Columbus, Cincinnati and Athens and it is always a sure bet for good beer, good food and good service. I have ate many things here over the years before I was vegan and everything is good. I used to love to sit at the bar and eat apps, wings and drink beer and especially during college football season. If you're ever near Ohio University stop in and try this place. It will satisfy all of your hunger needs and quench your thirst. read more

I do NOT like panning restaurants. This is especially true when I like the way they conduct themselves and have a good track record as is the case with Millstone. Still, my wife and I stopped at Millstone today very hungry. What we were served bordered on inedible. And the negativity there doesn't have anything to do with the horrendous, indifferent, inadequate service. In both cases, food and service, this was the worst dining experience we have had in years. This establishment has fallen precipitously. So sad. read more

My wife and I stopped by during our stay here visiting the state park, about 4:30 on a Wednesday. After a day of hiking BBQ sounded good! The weather was a warm 73, sunny, quite a nice day to take advantage of the Millstone's ample outdoor seating. When the hostess heard our seating preference she whispered to another hostess then told us there would be a wait, then she amended that to "outdoors is closed off, you can only sit there if you have a dog". We left. Do these people not know there is a pandemic going on? Terrible! read more

Outstanding service from our waitress! We were in town visiting hocking hills and came here for dinner. The complimentary cornbread and honey butter were fantastic. We started off either the pork potato skins- the pork was extremely dry and they came with no sauce on them. I ordered the trio -2 mini brisket sandwiches and 1 mini pork sandwich. All the meat was dry. My husband had the ribs and pork platter and said the ribs were mediocre and also dry. The pit baked beans were really good. I feel as if a bbq place should have great meat. I'm unsure if we would return. read more

When our party arrived we had to wait a few minutes to be seated, which no big deal because it was a large party, but when we told the hostess how many she rolled her eyes at us like it was an inconvenience, even though they were quite dead in there. And then while waiting, the same hostess starts talking to one of her coworkers telling a story that we all could hear about how a man asked if they could have a small extra table added because they were all crowded at a small table and she proceeded to say "how many seats are at your table" which the man replied 7. And she said well there's 7 seats there's no reason for another table to be added. I find this pretty distasteful because not only was it NOT busy, he was a paying customer, and while the customer is not always right, I don't find the harm in giving the large party a little extra space. When our party was seated, everything went well with the service from there. My husband and I ordered steak, me a sirloin, him a ribeye. I asked for mine medium well, and it was barely medium rare. My husband's ribeye was the thickness of a dvd case, and that's being generous and had more fat than actual meat on it. Definitely not worth the $80 we spent to eat there. My family has been coming to hocking hills for years now, and they have always chosen to go here. I think I will be skipping out next time, however, because I have been continuously disappointed in this restaurant. read more

HUGE, clean interior, very nice staff! I had the brisket and pulled pork and I'd have to disagree with the reviewers that say the meat is dry and flavorless. Yes, the meats are not drenched in sauce, so they are not wet, but the meat was tender and flaked apart, but it certainly was not dry. Just a kiss of smoke, and certainly not bland. Yes, you do need to ask for sauce here, which is normal for EVERYWHERE right now, because during a public health crisis (and maybe even afterwards), we shouldn't be leaving germ laden bottes/shakers of anything on the table. Our server did try to wander away after dropping off our food though; we should have been offered sauce... just saying. Mac and Cheese and beans were certainly not from scratch, so big points off here. Especially the mac and cheese. That's like... a way for any BBQ place to make a name for themselves, but they basically used Stouffer's from frozen... which was disappointing. Considering there aren't a ton of options in the area, this is solid, but not a home run. read more

1st time there. I got fried pickles for an ap and the combo for lunch. Pulled pork and brisket. Mac n cheese for the side. My amazing wife got potato skins and the meatloaf. Mac n cheese. The pulled pork was old and nearly as dry as chalk. Horrible. The brisket was pot roast, but not bad with some sauce. Fried pickles and beans were ok. The mac n cheese was the star of my plate. My wife said the meatloaf was over sauced, so it was hard to taste the meat. She loved the potato skins and mashed potatoes. The cornbread muffins were wonderful!! The service was pretty good. I can't remember our server's name, but he is a big guy with a hat and slight beard. Friendly and prompt. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a place named Millstone BBQ. Those 2 things is what kept my review above a 1. It is supposed to be a bbq joint. The pulled pork was amazingly bad. If an oyster joint had oysters as bad, people would die. read more

BBQ was good - forgot to give us two sides for our carry out and gave us an additional wrong side that we didn't order.... Impressive considered we only ordered food for two people. Would probably explore other options in the area before coming back. read more

This place has went downhill so much it's sad. Everything tastes old and dry. We used to come all the time but had a bad experience a while back. We decided to come again tonight to give them another chance because everyone has an off day, but tonight's dinner confirmed it. Overpriced, dry, "old" reheated food. Also ordered the millstone BBQ combo and the meat portion sizes were laughable. My husbands steak was all fat, his potato was so old and overheated there was essentially no potato left inside. Such a disappointment and waste of money.....again. Our server however was great. read more

This place is adorable and the food is AMAZING! We couldn't decide what to eat so we ordered the meat sampler to share and it was all so delicious. It was enough food for two people and we couldn't even finish it all. We had absolutely fantastic service from Angela while we dined at the bar! I wish we had one of these closer to where we live since we tried this place while we were on a weekend getaway. But when we go back to visit Hocking Hills again, we will definitely be going back to this restaurant! read more

I was really happy with my lunch at Millstone. The BBQ was delicious and a plate of Brisket and Pork, plus Mac n Cheese and Beans was just the right amount of food for two. It was also nice to sit out on their patio in the back, especially during the rain! But, I wanted to go out of my way especially to write this review because not only was the service friendly, but also they have an allergy book which goes into detail about the potential ingredients that could be a problem in each dish. I rarely see this attention to detail, and as someone with a food allergy, this totally put me at ease. Thank you so much for being so careful, for those of us who have special dietary needs! read more

After a long day hiking at Hocking Hill we decided to end our first day of vacation having dinner at Millstone BBQ. I got the brisket and pulled pork, they both were nearly inedible. The pulled pork was just soaked in grease and the brisket was cut super thick and it was also very greasy. The mac & cheese was tasteless and the baked beans were very average. I would recommend the local McDonalds over Millstone, it's similar quality for cheaper. read more

Wouldn't even consider it a BBQ place. Always out of things and always served cold. Total waste of money and time.

I've been going to Millstone since they first opened but unfortunately tonight will be the last time I will be there unless they change their credit card policy. I will not patronize a business that passes along a cost of doing business blatantly to customers. Charging a surcharge to use a credit card is just bad business all around. I was there tonight and had no idea that there was going to be a surcharge -- nope not on the menu, not posted anywhere -- and had no cash with me so basically I was charged a fee to eat there. We found out when the server (who was wonderful) told us when she handed us the bill. Apparently it was just started recently. I am a business owner myself and would never charge my customers for a cost of doing business. Credit card fees have always been a cost of doing business. It's something we've absorbed and included in our pricing, like electricity, heat, bags, etc. Those costs are built into the item prices. All forms of payment have costs associated with them including cash -- balancing registers, making deposits, theft. You have to pay employees or take the time yourself to do these tasks...costs of doing business. What's next, a charge for to go boxes? With the way prices have gone up in the past few years, just raise your prices 3% and be done with it. That would mean the price of $20 meal would be $20.60. Hey, raise it a buck and no one would even notice. It would taken as inflation. A survey commissioned by American Express in 2021 showed 78% of consumers agree that a surcharge makes them feel like a business does not appreciate their purchase. A similarly strong majority (77%) agreed if they have the option, they'll take their business elsewhere rather than pay a surcharge. The surcharge just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. So, Millstone, until you change your policy we will not be eating there. I'm very sorry..... read more

I was staying at the Holiday Inn in the same parking area as Millstone BBQ, so it seemed an obvious place to go. When I got there, it was crazy busy, and I was told that it could be a 20 minute wait. Fortunately, it was only about 10 minutes. However, when I was to be seated, there was some confusion: the young man led me to one area but then asked me to wait, then led me to a different area; he explained that sometimes, people change tables without notifying anybody. Odd, but it was ok. I noticed that shortly after I was seated, there was no line at all; people must have come and gone quickly. My server came very quickly and was prompt with my iced tea. I was having trouble deciding what to order. I knew I wanted a salad, but I was toying with brisket or pulled pork or mac and cheese. I decided on the mac and cheese because it had the brisket in it and came with the salad, so it covered everything. The salad was quite generous and had a nice variety of ingredients. The mac and cheese was good, but not outstanding. I'd have probably liked it better if they'd prepared the brisket with sauce before adding it to the mac & cheese. The description says there's bacon in it, but if there is, it's not much. And there should be more brisket as well. Because I was staying at the hotel, they gave me a 10% discount. I also noticed that I didn't get the corn muffins, so I mentioned that to the server. She apologized and said she left them on the microwave. She put 6 in a box with a container of butter for me. AND, she asked if I'd like an iced to to go, which I thought was a nice touch. I wouldn't say this is the best barbecue I've ever had, but it's not the worst, either. It's certainly worth a try if you're in the area & in the mood for barbecue. And the staff is very nice. read more

Millstone's Combo Platter This was the worst bbq I've ever had in my life! The brisket was stiff as a pencil, the pulled pork smelled like a garbage disposal. If you're deciding between here (millstone) or Bob evans just go to the farm. You're welcome! TRUST ME! read more

We had a party if 9, and had to wait an hour for a table. Considering how busy this place gets, I thought that was pretty good! The service was impeccable - we were kept topped off with cornbread muffins and drinks. Everything was great. read more

We sat down at the bar about 5 mins before 6pm. We weren't acknowledged until 6:10, with 3-4 girls behind the bar. The overall attentiveness and attitudes of everyone behind the bar came off as, we were a bother. The food for the most part was just okay, I had the worst fries I have ever tasted and the corn muffins were beyond overcooked. After getting through 2 out of 3 of my sliders, one of the bartenders finally asks how the food is. Overall experience was beyond lacking, the attitudes of the staff and (again) mundane food, I will not be giving Millstone another chance. read more

Great barbecue, and one of the few BBQ places we've seen sell drinks as well. Love the little corn bread muffins they give you, and all of our food was perfect. read more

Hostess was not very friendly. Our waitress was wonderful. The place was very dirty (sat in a booth with food all over the booth, not cleaned). Food was mediocre, ok if in a pinch. Would not recommend or come back. read more

It was good BBQ! Wasn't the best brisket I've ever had but certainly wasn't the worst either. The corn muffins were delicious and the house salads are huge! You definitely get your money's worth. Their sweet tea is also 10/10. I wasn't super impressed with the main dish, the reasoning for my 4/5 rating. I would go back but definitely get a different main entree. read more

Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ - Brisket plate - Barbeque Near Me - Logan, Ohio

This is my second experience here! Got here around 5:30 pm and it was 7:44 pm when I finally get my receipt. Server was wonderful, food tasted amazing however my to go order took a really long time , as it became missing . Once I gave the server my payment, there was an issue with this as well. Living an hour away I was excited to bring home the 2lbs of Brisket that I paid for to my Husband- well as you can see in the photo it's not 2lbs --- not even close . What a disappointing experience. My advice- double check your order . If I lived closer I would have asked for this to be corrected. read more

Terrible service- bar server was too dumb to bring silverware even after asking twice. Had to wait way too long over 5 min . By the time plastic ware (?) came food was cold - sent it back. Server (with unappetizing nose ring that looked like snot) couldn't care less read more

There was only a short wait time....about 5 min. on a Sat. about 4pm. I Loved the egg roll appetizer ! Never got a refill on my drink....i didn't get a side of grilled onions I requested. No bbq sauce at table and none came out with food. Had to request bbq sauce after runner came out with food...when I saw waitress again. Beef brisket was good (I requested with fat). Sweet potato fries were over cooked. Waitress was friendly but not on top of things( refills and accurate order)..I would give it a second chance but would not a 3rd time if service is the same. read more

The staff were fine, we sat at the bar and our waitress was great. The layout is nice and acoustics were good, not really loud like some places can be. The prices are very reasonable. We had ribs, pulled pork an appetizer and got out for just over $40. The ribs and appetizer were both great but the pulled pork was sort of bland and flavorless. No matter the time of day, the place seems to be full so allow for a little bit of a wait. I would be willing to go back and give them another try in the future. read more

Have gone there twice. Both times I got the combo platter. Both times the meat had no flavor and the sides came out cold . They offered to reheat them but if I want food heated in a microwave I can do that at home. read more

I know that things are different now with covid but I would not recommend this place. We were very disappointed with our experience. They were on a half hour wait at 6pm on a Thursday night for a party of two and a baby. The bench out front while we were waiting had around 20 dead flies on the ledge behind it. It clearly wasn't and area that was ever cleaned. There were open tables the whole time we were waiting so I assume the waits were staffing issues. We noticed a lot of the staff we saw looked super young. Our server was nice enough but he had the acted like he was high. The moved pretty slowly and didn't seem like he had restaurant experience at all. He was hardly around our table, had to constantly find someone to ask for things. We had to ask for refills. I left with my son after while my husband waited forever to get the bill. The main disappointment was the food. My husband's brisket sandwich fell apart as soon as he touched it from the bun fall apart. It was clearly stale. Mine was as stale as well but not as bad for my bbq chicken melt that had no sauce you could taste and one piece of bacon the size of a quarter. My fries were fine but my husbands tasted like they had been sitting out for hours. They were gross. The kids Mac and cheese came in a little tea/coffee cup that my two year old couldn't eat out of with it falling over because they served it in a plastic basket. We love bbq places but the food we got had no smoke or bbq flavor, was bland and stale. I would not go back. read more

We arrived at the restaurant at 6:30pm, didn't get sat until 7:35pm. We put in an appetizer and drinks at that time, didn't receive our 5 fried pickle spears until 8:40 pm and then the waitress tells us she can just now put in our food order and that they don't have the steaks we ordered so we have to order a different steak. We did not get our entrees until 9:10PM, WE WERE THERE FOR 3 HOURS, that was insane. The food was okay, I asked for steak sauce to come out with the steak after waiting over 2 hours for food, the food comes out, no waitress in sight, waited another 10 mins for sauce. I will never be back. read more

This place is legit. So many options on the menu - drinks and food. But the thing that separates it from the other places around is that their service is incredible. Super attentive and willing to make minor substitutions without issue. Taylor the bartender is super AMAZING. She remembered the drink order of an older couple sitting next to us who haven't been back in 6 months. She was friendly with people from all walks of life. Girl needs a raise!!! Food was good. Could have been warmer. We got the meat sampler and some of the meat was a little dry but their BBQ sauce is incredible so it worked out. Flavor was on point. Better than any other option in the area. read more

Not so good. Service was fine but not exceptional. The food was not good. In my experience, BBQ restaurants take a "Everything is bigger in Texas" kind of starting point. Aside from the heaping complementary cornbread, this place did not see things that way. My brisket sandwich had three deli-sliced thin cuts of meat. I could see through them to the bun. Upon tasting them, I didn't need anymore. Dry, kinda hard and not much flavor. It seemed pretty apparent that it was cooked in an oven but certainly not smoked. The other three in our party left most of their meals on the plates as well. It was a bummer because we were celebrating a birthday and had high hopes. You win some, you lose some I guess. read more

We were shooting a styled shoot in Hocking and asked about a place to eat and were recommended this place. We love BBQ and couldn't say no. It's right off the highway and such a cool place! Felt very chill and even had a back patio with a stage. We opted for the patio because it was so nice outside. The back patio has it's own host so head on out. There were dogs galore and we were also a huge fan of that! Our server was super friendly and offered some great options. We decided on the Sampler so we could taste all the meats they had. There was chicken, pulled pork, ribs, brisket, turkey, and sausage. So many great choices! It comes with 2 sides but we opted to get 3. We also couldn't decide which ones we wanted. Mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, and mac. Before our food came everyone gets corn bread! Its made with pudding and was so tasty! I don't always like corn bread because of the texture but we loved it. The honey butter was also a great touch. Our meal arrived and our server said he really liked the turkey and brisket. My favorites were the ribs, turkey, and chicken (the spicy delicious rub was my fav and it was so juicy). Weirdly enough the sausage was really good too. I honestly wasn't a big fan of the pulled pork or brisket. A little too dry for my taste. Seemed odd as well because those are such big BBQ options. My husband loved the turkey! Big surprise for us. It was so tasty. I seriously wished it gotten more than 3 ribs. The BBQ sauce was so stinkin good and a little spicy which I really enjoyed. Okay, sides. I didn't try the mash but my husband ate it all. The sweet potato fries only came with brown sugar on the side, not the easiest to eat and they had the honey butter so I feel like it could have been served with something else. But they were good and crispy. I loved my Mac in a cup. It was so hot! I had to wait forever for it to cool down. All in all, great meal and now I know what I like. read more

A fun group of hostesses and waitresses sat us out on the patio. Our server was simple pleasant to be around and she acted like she liked working there. That probably influenced our attitude toward the food, which in retrospect, was about average. I'd be scared of Yelp if I was a BBQ joint. You go to a french restaurant that is subpar and most people find something they liked and say they "might go back," But as a BBQ joint, if you serve one bad chicken wing, or one piece of dry brisket the critics are more akin to a mob of locals standing outside with pitch forks and an noose. That being said: We were satisfied. Cold beer. we had some chicken drumsticks with a dry rub on them. After looking at the amount of dry rub, I wasn't sure they would be edible, however I couldn't stop eating them. I would go back for those. We had some pork egg rolls that surprised us a little too. Anything else wasn't worth mentioning, it's just average bbq. I did NOT like their sauces at all and can't believe they were as poor as they were. If I were millstone I would re-evaluate the sauces as they effect most of the menu. (Stamping my pitchfork a little). Redeeming feature: They have corn hole out back. Every bbq...no every restaurant including every restaurant in NY city that charges $200 a plate....should have corn hole. Update: 2019. They've gone downhill as the yelp reviews seem to indicate. The nachos are over $10 and there wasn't much to them. A bunch of chips left with nothing on them. Ribs were $17 for half rack and the flavor was good but you'll be chewing for while. I want to like them so bad. Maybe this has something to do with the owners opening a new restaurant next door. Stay away these days read more

Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Logan, Ohio

I feel like I am being generous with this review. I got the meet platter which was: quarter rack of ribs, brisket, sausage, turkey, chicken, and pulled pork. Only the ribs were hot, the rest was cold and not flavorful... which was very disappointing considering we waited almost an hour for our food to be served. read more

We went last night around 9:15. The bar which is IN the restaurant (on one side) was BLARING some grunge rock radio station... HIDEOUS, drum-driven "music" with full-throated, guttural screams (UGH!) I ordered a "brisket sandwich" on "Texas toast" with fries. First, it's an extra charge for Texas toast (60¢, no big deal) the "toast" (bread) consisted of 2 slices of buttered, white bread squares, roughly 3"x3".... the brisket was dry and flavorless, the only flavor being the sauce I put on myself. The amount of brisket on the "sandwich" was slightly more than a tablespoon full of meat! The fries were "edible." ALL THIS for $15?!?! I arrived home last night and spent most of the night and this morning dealing with stomach issues! I would suggest the folks at Millstone take a trip to City BBQ to find out, a)what brisket is SUPPOSED to taste like b) what amount of food a "serving" consists of! City isn't a "premier" BBQ restaurant, but for a chain they do a darned good job! Our server was friendly and gracious. During my next visits to the Hocking Hills area I believe I'll head to Arby's for a Market Fresh sandwich ($7) before going to Millstone. read more
