We had the pub pickles and Buffalo cheese curds for appetizers and they were good. I had the California club and it was really good. My son had the shrimp basket and it was good. The French fries were just ok. They were bland and didn't have any seasoning on them. Our server was good and very friendly. read more

Wonderful food at reasonable prices. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend the fried green beans as an appetizer and the steak chili was delicious. Great historical ambience! read more

I can't believe we have never been here before...absolutely great! The staff was amazing, so friendly...the bartender made a point to recommend a few popular brews and also let us know that they also offered a full bar and wines. I had the Crazy Beaver Creme Ale - so good!!! They have an area that you can wait in with your beverage other than the bar while your waiting for your table. Our server was a doll, she was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu, had tons of suggestions...the menu had so many great options it was hard to decide what to order. I ordered their special which was a grilled chicken and then beer battered fried sandwich so good! My husband had the fish and chips which I tasted and it tasted delicious! The owner came around to see if we enjoyed our meal...he was helping bus tables; that speaks volumes about a business owner, at least to me. He was very welcoming and thanked us for coming in! We will definitely be back! Now my Covid protocol part of my review...I loved that when we walked up they have a giant bottle of sanitizer with a sign that says "Please Sanitize"...Large sign on the door that says to please wear a mask. The only thing I was not sure of was whether or not they were seating at the distances recommended because it didn't look like tables were removed and there was no clear way of knowing whether they were seating at all the table as they didn't have them taped off...they had hostess seating. Our table was far enough away so I'm assuming they are doing a good! All the staff was wearing masks! The only 2 cautions for those who are very concerned and depending on your comfort level: They were not enforcing the few customers that came in without masks, our server has a tiny face and her mask kept sliding down...I felt bad for her...I wanted to ask for her email or phone number so I could send her the video I saw with the trick as to how make her mask fit she was a doll. read more

Comfortable and good food. A train went by while we were there and that was cool. I also attended a special event in their event space upstairs and that was awesome too. read more

We visit here once a month or so. Always good food and service. Today's waitress was Kati R. She is top shelf. She knows the menu and always helpful. She was really hustling today during he lunch time rush. Still our order was right and fast service. Refilled drinks before empty or asked for. She's always a solid waitress. If your hungery for good food, reasonably priced and great service make the stop. They craft their own beer and I hear it's good, I just don't drink beer. Thanks again Kati R for great service again today! read more

Best service and food in 25mi radius! Owner is always making rounds. Food is excellent and great price.

Time to see my mother now that we're back in the States and see how she's doing. We took her to the Old Mill because it was near her home and we were curious about the restaurant, having heard from others that, in addition to Four Roses, it was a highlight of the town. We were seated very quickly. At 5 pm on a Tuesday, the place was a third full. There were tables but no booths - as well as seats at the bar. Some TVs overhead were silently playing an exhibition baseball game with the Sox and Royals. The Sox were slaughtering the pitiful Royals. There was a lot of rough hewn wood. I had the Rueben, my girl a French Dip, and my mother a BLT. My mother also had a cup of today's soup, which was a Chicken Vegetable. Every sandwich came with fries. I had the Island City IPA. My Rueben was barely serviceable. A sandwich advertised as having thin sliced protein should not contain slices thick as car mats. I've had better. My girl did not finish her French Dip - the beef was that grayish brown color that yells "I'm well done" rather than rare and pink - and the au jus was brown and tasteless. (I couldn't even detect the taste of salt when I sipped the brown liquid.) My mother did not finish her BLT, and grumbled, "How can anyone screw up a BLT?" Whomever had applied the mayonnaise had done so with a trowel. But the three of us liked the fries. My mother thought the soup had a peculiar taste; I thought it tasted like a chicken vegetable soup. Very good service (Jenna), decent fries, decent beer. The collection of Pez dispensers in the hallway heading to the restrooms is amazing - though my dinner companions saw the display cases and shrugged, looking back at me as if to say "Is this a thing?" - I suppose you have to have eaten Pez as a kid to appreciate the wacky beauty of the dispensers. Lots of food was served, but the three sandwiches were below average. Overall, a disappointment. So this restaurant doesn't earn a place on the list of restaurants we plan to frequent regularly in the future. read more

Great food in a laid back environment. Service staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. I have been going here on and off for years. Seems like the menu and food quality have improved over the last 3 months. I would love to see the upstairs open up for events and have a catering menu! read more

The old building is gorgeous. The food is really bad! For goodness sake! I ordered a BLT. When it arrived, it appeared as two pieces of toast, one placed on top of the other. On closer examination, it did have a piece of lettuce, a sad, orange slice of tomato a bout a millimeter thick and a couple slices of under cooked bacon. Terrible. The cheese soup was so thick it would crack a tortilla chip. This is no so much a restaurant as a shop that warms up packaged foods! read more

Wonderful food wonderful service worth the trip service is very friendly they make sure everything taste good would highly recommend

It is what it is, a Mill, next to the train station. You will definitely enjoy visiting here. The food is excellent, be sure to try the sweet potatoes fries! Very nostalgic and fun read more

Love the food, love the ambiance, and we always try to sit at the bar. Dave the bartender gives great service, and is fun to talk to.

This is a great restaurant. The staff was friendly and the interior was very cozy. The ribs were falling off the bone good!

Beautiful building, great atmosphere! We decided to take the scenic route on our way home from Lake Michigan and decided to stop here for dinner and boy were we happy we did! We sat at the bar and met a two local couples and chatted while we ate. The beers were awesome! The tacos (today's special) and taco salad were both delicious! If you find yourself near Plainwell go check it out! read more

I've always had good experiences here. The staff is kind and speedy, the facility is gorgeous, and the food is wonderful. The last few times I've eaten here have been on the porch and it's lovely enjoying a quiet meal while people watching. read more

Both the Patty Melt with onion rings and the Mushroom Swiss with fries were delicious! Good food and service definitely a go to place if in Plainwell. read more

The food and beer are really good with reasonable prices. They seem to have a big turnover on servers though.

My husband and I have been here many times. It can be a bit of a wait sometimes, but it is worth it!

Wait too long. Food mediocre. Staff disinterested. Tried this establishment again. Silly us. Same poor greeting, same long wait and same mediocre offerings. We didn't stay past a beer. Our group was in agreement that this is a place to skip. read more

Old Mill is always a great place to stop in for dinner and a few beers. They have some very good pub style food and craft beers! Give them a try. read more

Had some really good to-go orders from here during the past two years. Also had a great late lunch while dining in today with my parents. Menu is smaller than what I remember (understandable) but now there are no Mexican style items. But the Buffalo chicken wrap was an excellent option. Our server was great even during the busy time. read more

Simple - good food, great service, super ambiance. Had the black jack beef sandwich and a crazy beaver cream ale - very enjoyable. Will definitely stop by again in the future. read more

First of owner was extremely nice and talkative and gave us a tour of the entire place. Very impressed with his friendly demeanor and attitude. Now to the food and service. Service was a 5 - Abby was friendly attentive fast and cute! Food was a 4.6 - Had the depot dip which was very good tender especially with the onions and mushrooms. Only thing held it back was the fries which were a bit overcooked for me. So overall? 4.8 but I rounded up to a 5 not down to a 4 for the stars. read more

I love how they have a huge parking lot. I really loved the look of the building. It is very nice in there. Waiting for a seat on the other hand was a bit of a pain. I wish they had the upstairs opened up for you to eat there as well, they would make more money. The food is not too bad. It was not nothing special, but it was good. The wait staff seemed real nice, pretty funny as well. I am normally not into drinking beer from places like this, as I am used to Budweiser or Miller, but I had a nice beer there that they brewed, I was quite impressed. The owner has quite a huge display of PEZ dispensers next to the bathrooms, quite impressive I must say. It was cool looking at them all after dinner. I really like how the place is decorated and look and feel of it. Next time I go, I will take pictures of the food so you can get a better look. Give them a try and see for yourself. read more

This is one of our favorite places. The food is always prepared just right and the owner and staff are friendly and professional. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This place was delicious! My husband has visited a few times before while traveling for work, but this was my first time trying it. Ample parking, clean, friendly staff. They had a really nice menu, plus specials. Lots of variety. Everything was reasonably priced as well. Our waitress was attentive and offered menu suggestions. We did have to wait a bit for a table, but we were able to grab drinks at the bar while we waited. I had Apple Bourbon Pork Chops with a baked potato and broccoli. The portion sizes were great. There were two decent sized boneless loin chops, a hearty helping of broccoli and a medium sized potato. Everything was cooked perfectly and presented nicely. My husband had a sandwich of some sort and house chips. I think our bill was less than $25 (before tip). I also loved the random Pez collection in the hallway by the bathroom. read more

I really enjoyed going to Old Mill. Check out the collection of Pez dispensers in the hallway by the bathroom. I got a salad with Michigan cherries, which was pretty tasty. I also ordered a flight of beer. It was five little tasters for $6. That is an absolute steal! The beer itself is pretty good. I liked the Nuddy Buddy PB Porter. The service was speedy, and the place was decently busy. read more

This is a former grain mill turned Brewpub. The interior and exterior are beautiful, and there's lots of parking. Once we got inside, we were greeted immediately, and we chose to sit at the bar. The bartender, David, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Finally, the food was delicious! I definitely recommend a visit! read more

When I go here I normally order the chicken strips nd fries, It's a basic meal and it's normally always good!!

So we're on vacation here from California and we have a ton of Brewpubs out their so it was awesome to know we had something like this near to where we were staying. I ordered The Feedbag burger and it was delicious! I also ordered two of the great beers they carried which were The Millie Vanillie and The Pumpkin Ale which were both delicious. Our waitress which I believe her name was Jenna made our visit here even more enjoyable!! We will definitely be coming back! PS loved the Pez dispensers! read more

This place is great. We came up, from Indiana for a weekend ski trip and found this gem. Food was really good. Amazing beers to choose from and the staff was super friendly. The awesome bartender even did the leaning salt shaker trick for my daughter. The Building is an amazing old mill and is really well built. They also have a crazy pez collection. A must see!!! We'll definitely be back. read more

Still understandable why the parking lot is crowded. Great wet burrito, very good (for inland) fried clam strips. Dynamite Sunshine Stout.

Best Cod my husband has ever eaten. Hot, crispy and flavorful. I loved the beef stroganoff special. Yum. Coleslaw was great too. Whole bill was $23. Way worth the 30 minute wait. Super efficient and nice wait staff. Will be coming back! read more

Old Mill Brewpub & Grill - Great food! - American Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

Pretty good joint. The beer is ok, nothing amazing but solid for a small town joint. The burgers and fries were pretty good, and we had really good service. Lots of TVs around the bar to watch sports. The building is awesome, very well done remodel of a historic building. read more

I just had the best meal and beer at this restaurant and pub! It was an amazing atmosphere (with a train going by right outside the window), with fantastic food and beer, and the service was perfect! However, try to make reservation because this place is popular!! Also, don't forget to check out the epic PEZ dispenser collection! read more

After several (more than 10) visits I've come to this conclusion: Venue is very nice. Service is good. The menu selection is not bad. However, the food taste is bland. Also, their tap selection for IPAs doesn't fit well with my taste. read more

Awesome place, great food and great service! The owner made a point to say hello. The food was delicious and the beer was smooth. Lots of parking and in a nice little town. Worth the trip! read more

Love EVERYTHING about the Old Mill Brewpub in Plainwell! From the drinks to the food, everything is excellent! The waitresses are so kind and quick, always coming back to ask if you need anything. The old mill brewpub has the best prime rib I've ever had! The owner is very personable and a genuine guy to talk to. Will always recommend this place to anyone! P.S. the ranch is TO DIE FOR read more

The owner is the most unprofessional, arrogant restaurant owner I have ever met. He greeted my husband and I after we had spent an hour waiting for a table in their dining room. When I asked why they don't serve in their "waiting room" a room with four tables and LOTS if seating, he became very defiant. He told us not to come to his restaurant in the evening if we didn't like the wait. I asked him to leave our table and he told us to LEAVE! Ha! We won't spend our money at a place where our thoughts and opinions are treated with such vile disregard. I'll be the first to crack a beer on the last day this place is in business! read more

Amazing food and service was great!! There was a little wait for the food but got done earlier than than the expected wait time. Would definitely recommend! read more
