The server was rude, when I was going to the restroom I overheard one server saying they could not stand waiting on tables with children. Overall all it was a poor dining experience. read more

One of the better restaurants in town, which doesn't normally mean much in this area, but Old Mill is worth checking out. I don't think I've ever had something I wouldn't finish from here and try something new everytime I go. read more

Wonderful brewpub that has a great patio to sit out with your dogs if you have them, the wait staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is very good here, however, the beers they make here are excellent! read more

Snag a chair on the patio and enjoy the lake life. The guys and gals here at Old Mill know their beers. Big bonus points for the wait staff of pretty ladies who can articulate the beer menu. Get here before 7 for a dollar off the reasonably priced pints (3.50 HH). During my recent visit, they were installing their brand new, shiny brewing equipment to start up their own brews. *Park in the front lot, the back is full with CrossFitters and other active folks read more

We had the best experience for the solar eclipse. Special beer and cool t-shirts. The staff was the best! Food and beer top notch! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this small town brewery. My hubby and I were on our way from Asheville to Myrtle Beach and stopped here so that I could feed my infant. The staff was incredibly friendly and the view from the outdoor patio was really beautiful next to a pond. The patio was pet friendly which was great because we had our pup. I'd highly recommend the coffee rubbed burger. I wouldn't have expected the food to be as tasty as it was but that burger really hit the spot and the beers we're a pleasant surprise as well! read more

Went August 2013 - Stopped here on a whim for lunch with the hubby. This restaurant is huge first off - very nicely decorated too. I can see having parties here because the dining areas are large and nice décor. They do have a brewery in the back - large vats were noted. I believe there was a bar. We both ordered the shrimp and grits and it came with a large salad. The salad was fresh and delicious. The meal was delicious and plentiful. They had a more reddish type sauce but it was really good and the grits tasted really authentic too. We really enjoyed it. My husband tried one the draft beers and he liked that too. Our waiter was awesome - he was really friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. read more

Took the whole family. The wide variety allows everyone to get what they like. Staff was extremely friendly.

We only sampled some beers and had a flight or two, but we were impressed. Their service and beer selection is great and I love that they offer flights. I'd like to see something a little bit different than the laminated paper they use for the flight beer placement. The writing comes off too easily from the glasses (glass condensation) being on there. We will be back to sample the food and of course drink more beer! read more

Old Mill Brewpub - Beer flight. Don't mind the half empty glasses, I couldn't wait... ;) - American Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

We love this place! Great atmosphere, awesome beer selection, but still very family friendly. The Poutin fries are to die for, but we like the gravy on the side for dipping. read more

We have stopped here every time we come up for soccer tournaments. The food was great the first time and today it was perfect. The bread on the old mill burger was delicious and the burgers were good and juicy. We're glad you have long hours on Sunday because we travel through often. read more

We tried eating at the Old Mill Brewpub the other night. The food was good, but the portions were on the smaller side. I had the lasagna and it didn't even come with some type of bread. It was good, but I left hungry. It also was fairly pricey for the amount you got. read more

Very large beer selection and good food. Exactly what you want from a brew pub. The side of Mac and cheese is just craft so I'd avoid that, but good sandwiches, and burgers to go with your beer make this a good one for the whole family. read more

Great Location, Having been moved recently from North. It's a very nice and unique experience for me and my husband. Love the place and felt nice talking to other people over there. Good found !!! read more

Food was amazing. Service was awesome. Atmosphere fun and the restaurant was clean. We will be back. Great time.

In town for son's soccer tournament and happened by and decided to stop for lunch. I am so glad we did. The place has a cool vibe being in an old mill. Tried the crab pretzel (yes, you read that right) and it was great. We then had the brewpub burger and brisket sandwich, of which both were excellent. They have a great beer selection on tap, and bottled. Will definitely be coming back whenever we are back in town. read more

The menu is more of a pub selection hence the name. The atmosphere is awesome and a great place to get a drink. Service was great and attentive (scott). It was a bit slow for a sat evening and the location is a bit hard to find. Good place though!!! read more

Old Mill Brewpub - American Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Mediocre food. Such a a shame. It's a really cool building with potential to be a great restaurant, but the food is a continual disappointment. Tastes like cheap bar food. If they ever get their act together in the kitchen they could become a real contender in the Lexington restaurant scene. read more

I went to this establishment last week to eat and while the staff was great, the food was lacking. I had the Nachos which were very stale and lacking any serious flavor. They have a good beer selection and that is about where the good ends. While dining at the bar I noticed several German Cockroaches walking up the wall near the old barrel by the bar entrance. I went to inspect further and I wish I had not. There was a lot of roaches and it really left a bad taste for this establishment. A roach infestation is a serious problem and should be addressed by the proprietor instead of management blaming it on the fact it's an old building. If you are going to drink only it may be okay. I would recommend you ask them for a freshly washed glass. The food is sub par and the presence on roaches makes eating here impossible read more

We've never been here before and decided to finally try it. Great food once they got our order correct. Service was very slow, had to wait for condiments, had to remind them we needed extra napkins and when we finally had our drinks refilled it was unsweet when we were drinking sweet tea. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all so not sure what the deal was. Unfortunate because I like the beer but not sure that can overcome the poor service. read more

Great family friendly atmosphere and great brews. Outside seating is a plus and the staff make every visit even more enjoyable.

I would have loved to try the food and beers, but had to leave after waiting 15 minutes for a server and after an additional ten minutes of waiting for a beer, that never arrived, I had enough. read more

This is such a cool location and I've only been here twice. Both times the food was good, but I feel the service could improve. The second time, our food was cold. read more

Best burgers and brews in Lexington! The service is always five stars and they've got some great house beers on tap. If you haven't been here yet you are missing out. Hella Gouda Burger is my favorite. read more

Finally got around to trying it. It was reasonably quiet, thank goodness, live music was in the other room. The Chicken Fingers were excellent, tender, well cooked, the fries were OK for 5 minutes, then got very soggy and "forgetable". The slaw as okay, but wouldn't go back for it, or order it again. Tea was good. Table service was very rushed, although wait staff did stop long enough to get what we needed. No longer. Wouldn't bring out of town guests here, it wouldn't impress people from larger cities, or, I don't think it would. Parking was adequate. the night we were there. read more

Love getting together with friends and family at Old Mill. Food is consistently good and there are always new specials. I have to admit...my favorites are still the poke bowl and the hamburgers. Good selection of beers and cocktails as well. Check it out ....I know you won't be disappointed read more

I ordered a beer flight (love when places offer those) - this place has some great darker beers, so if that's what you like I urge you to visit the Old Mill Brewpub. Their BLT with pimento cheese is TASTY. Their Mac and cheese is unremarkable. read more

Great food, great service! Shawna was an awesome server;super fast and efficient, live music was also a plus! Had the mac attack and she crab soup, would definitely recommend to anyone especially since I just moved to this side of town. Going to be a place I frequent! read more

Visited this place following a cold game. I asked our server Shawna what her favorite items were, and she gave us some recommendations. Her service was fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and prompt without making us feel rushed. I ordered one of her favorites, San Joaquin, a coffee-rubbed burger with caramelized onions and cheddar. My husband had a buffalo soldier chicken sandwich packing some heat. Both were great quality. Nice atmosphere with wood, copper piping on the ceiling, exposed brick,and windows to see the brew operation. People were coming in with growlers to be refilled, always a good sign. I went with the IPA, was really good. I will be back. read more

I went here for dinner the other night when I was in town. It was easy to find right on main st and had easy parking. I thought it was a pretty cool spot being in an old building and seemed to have plenty of seating and Had the history of the building on the back of the menu. The bar was located at the front entrance also looked to be a good size but we decided to sit in the restaurant area. Service was good and attentive. I had the Brimstone Burger that has Ghost Pepper Jack cheese, Jalapeno poppers and spicy Chipotle Mayo and I ordered it with sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked the way I ordered it and was spicy but not too spicy. I really liked the sweet potato fires. It was a good find and will go back when in the area. Oh and like most of my other reviews they had good craft beer too! Worth the stop just for the beer selection. read more

Food was not hot. Brisket rubbery. Shrimp and grits was a bowl of "soup". Horrible. Will not be back.

My wife and I went Saturday night to try this place out. We won't be returning. It was about 7:30 and the first thing that surprised me was how not busy the place was at the time. This is prime time for most restaurants. We were seated on the patio at a table less than two feet from the band, which soon began to set up by throwing things around in our proximity. We decided to seek another seat and waited patiently for a server or anyone to come to our table. After 7-8 minutes another couple came in and were seated at a table for two closer to the water that was empty when we came in. A waiter came by, served them drinks, took their order. Meanwhile, 15 minutes had passed and we were still waiting for our water and to place our order. No one but a surly musician banging equipment and saying nothing had come anywhere near our table. I asked my wife if she would like to try another nearby restaurant. Apparently, I had read our mind. With relief, we both got up and walked out. The hostess saw us go, but was completely indifferent, just as she was when she seated us. "Southern hospitality" is a phrase that clearly has no meaning here. They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. This was our first and last visit. Any place that can't get a server to your table in 15 minutes! What else are they not getting right? read more

Love the rustic building, setting , and the wide variety of food, especially for supper. Also has wide choice of craft beers.

I'm writing this review for one reason, I want the owners to read it and make some changes to their food/ingredients. Decor and ambiance is great, very nice patio area as well as a great bar. The beer selection is great as well. Food: no effort put in to it. I had the Cuban. It was on a hoagie roll and WASN'T pressed, therefore not really a Cuban. They also cut up pickle wedges instead of sliced pickles..no effort. Someone else ordered nachos, canned chili that wasn't strained was used in conjunction with cheese sauce from Sams. They were extremely soupy and generic tasting, no effort. The third ordered a steak sandwich, it was on the same hoagie roll as my Cuban and it was a straight forward sandwich. Overall, I'll go back for beer and a appetizer maybe. It's a cool looking place that'd be nice to drink at. They put little to no effort in to the food which is a shame because it's such a cool place. The food was glorified concession stand food made from the same ingredients... It took us an hour to get our food too, people that arrived after us got theirs before us. They clearly don't care about the food as much as they should.. read more

SERIOUS GERMAN ROACH PROBLEM.......IF YOU EAT HERE YOU MIGHT END UP WITH ANTENNAS OR)LEGS BETWEEN YOUR TEETH. I am seriously grossed out right now at the amount of German roaches I saw around the bar tonight. Absolutely unacceptable and the bartender claims its because it's an old building. I am sick to death at the roach infestation at This place. Ugh............. read more

Very disappointing dining experience. As usual the beer selection was great but the food was average AT BEST! My main reason for the one star is what I saw crawling by our table. 4 German roaches out and walking like they were being seated at our table, This is a serious problem and I cannot believe the health department lets them keep their Grade A rating. They have a serious roach problem and it needs to be addressed. read more

While the craft beer choices are excellent. Over the past few months we have repeatedly experienced the availability of the selections offered has dwindled. We had to go through five different choices with the waitress last night before we found one they actually had in stock. Also, the food has continued to diminish in quality as well. I don't usually complain, my food was not edible. My husband's basic hamburger was tasteless and over cooked. Another person at our table ordered the pork chop which was supposed to come out with rice and fried green tomatoes. She got a pork chop on a small plate that wasn't cooked through. The rice came out ten minutes later in a cup and the fried green tomatoes finally made it out cold. The coleslaw tasted like the cabbage had not been washed. The fries were barely warm and unseasoned and obviously frozen. Don't get the shrimp or fish. What is good is the beer when they actually have it and the buffalo chicken dip. Otherwise, don't waste your money. For the experience old mill used to give we have found Liberty Tap Room to be a far better experience. It's unfortunate because we love supporting local Lexington businesses. It's my hope that the management of Old Mill will step up thier game to what it was 2 yrs ago. We would love to come back. read more

OMG......I saw 5 roaches crawling around. So grossed out right now! Staff did not care when I pointed it out. Will not be coming back. Grossness#!!!!!! read more

We had heard only great reviews from friends about this place. We decided to try it on a Friday night, expecting it to be busy. However, the whole evening was terrible. The hostess was very friendly and told us when we arrived around 7:15 there would be a 30 minute wait, totally understandable for a Friday night. We grabbed some beers at the bar and waited...and waited...and waited. Upon a trip to the restroom I discovered that the restaurant was not even half full, and yet we were still waiting for 40 minutes. One of the people in our party of 4 works nights, and had to leave for work after dinner. Normally, this is not an issue when we go out because we leave early enough that dinner shouldn't take over 3 hours. We cut it really close to get him back in time after dinner it took so incredibly long. We sat on the porch, it was a really nice evening and we were looking forward to good food. Our waitress came and was overall really friendly. However, she needs some training if this place is going to want better reviews. We ordered appetizers and beers, one of which she didn't know and couldn't write down because we pronounced it correctly in German and not phonetically in English. Really if you're going to be a Brewpub your staff needs to be familiar with your beer selection. Appetizers were decent, we ordered the cheese fries and mussels. Then she came to take our order and stopped half way through because she realized our beers were waiting and left to get them and came back and sat them down to resume taking the order. It all seemed just frazzled and unorganized. She brought us the beer bottles, but we had to ask three times for glasses to pour the beers into. All the while it is almost 9:15 at night and we still don't have our meals. For a restaurant that isn't even half full, this is a little ridiculous. Our friends had gone the previous evening and received their food very quickly and raved about the quality. Finally around 9:30 the food arrives. She brought out 3 meals but not the fourth because it wasn't ready. The rest of us were not going to eat if someone else didn't have food so we all waited another 10 minutes for his food to arrive which by that time the rest of us had cold food. The She Crab Soup was really good. The Po Boy was sub par, and I had more fish cracklings then shrimp. The side of mac and cheese looks like it came out of a blue Kraft box. The fries are good, and our friends liked the spicy gumbo. None of it worth the price it costs. Overall, we were left with a really bad experience which is unfortunate because we were really rooting for this place. Lexington needs a place of this nature for sure. The Brewpub though definitely need to put some effort behind the food and train their staff better. Maybe the issue is management, we really weren't sure. We will maybe give this place one last shot once they get the brew side up and running, but until then I would rather drive into Columbia. read more

This was the third time I've eaten here since they opened. Nothing is good here. They can't even do nachos right. Don't bother.
