Good selection of appetizers, sandwiches, etc. She crab soup was very flavorful. Overall, food was good, not great. Good selection of craft beers (although only one of their own) and wines. Service was very good, friendly and informative. While there was nothing negative about our 4 person visit, there was nothing outstandingly great, either. We would go there again if someone invited us, but would probably not go of our own choice. read more

Good food, with a fairly expansive menu. Service is good, usually fairly quick with your order. The history of the Old Mill is quite interesting. Be sure to stroll throughout after you eat to take it all in. The view is improving daily, as the town is repairing the damage from the flood. read more

The Old Mill brew pub was one of the funnest and coolest of the places I have been to in a long time. It's located in an Old Grist Mill it has other shops in it as well. The bar area and seating area at the bar is very nice and quaint. Around the corner is the main dining area which has plenty of room but tables and booths. The beer menu is Awesome with a variety of draft beers and bottled beers. It does have a full bar for those of you who like other things other than beer. The food was delicious as well. I had she crab soup as an appetizer and it was out of this world. The owner, John Klinger, is my old buddy from Pennsylvania. I highly recommend to stop if you're out in the Lexington area of South Carolina read more

Food is always good!!! Service is always great! Great menu, lots of options!! Burgers, pepper jack mac, and salads are faves!!

Old Mill is my #1 place to eat in Lexington. I've eaten here several times since moving to Lexington and have had an overall positive experience every time I visit. If you want to great unique burger options, this is your place. If you want a plethora of beer options (especially local beers) this is your place. They have an awesome outdoor patio area where you can dine and I absolutely love that. Service has always been top notch. You pretty much get everything here, they even have a bar area with TV's that feels separate from the rest of the dining areas if that is your kind of scene. I only have a few complaints or suggestions rather (nothing that would take away a star) 1. Sometimes feels understaffed-but I rarely have had trouble being seated in a reasonable time. 2. Some menu items are definitely hit or miss. I've experimented with most and I would stick with the burgers as a go-to if you can't decide. ( I was really upset when they removed the Wa-keen burger, which was my favorite) 3. Wing sauce flavors seem to be inconsistent (Or at least the teriyaki which was my favorite until it changed) Other than that, Old Mill will always be my go to place to eat lunch or dinner in Lexington or maybe even the greater West Columbia area. read more

Review is about a month overdue lol. Dad and I stopped here for lunch after leaving the movies. I had read the menu online and the collard greens and bacon dip is what peaked my interest! Annnnnnd... it did not disappoint. It could've been mixed and blended a little better, but it was delicious. Service was great. Atmosphere is great. read more

This restaurant is hit or miss. We have eaten here 3/4X in last 6M. The first time the burgers were awesome. The last time, the food was alright but service was so SLOW. They posted a sign by the hostess stand that they they were understaffed. And it looked to be the case. The wait was horrendous and the restaurant looked 3/4 empty. On the other occasions the wait for a table and on food was usually long. Their specials menu is generally inventive, but I have been disappointed when I try a few of these. We keep coming back bc it's the nearest brewpub and they have a dining patio where our dog can be with us. read more

Great beer selection, but possibly the worst burger and onion rings I've ever had. Burger was burned on one side, rings were so greasy you could see through them, probably from frozen. read more

Great place to hangout and eat in downtown Lexington. I highly recommend. The owners are great people too.

Probably the best hamburger in the Lexington Columbia area. Side dishes are excellent also. Good beer selection. Love the tall burger with knife plating. Nice party and meeting room. Friendly staff. Parking area is at the very back of the old mill building so it may be hard to locate for newcomers. Very happy that they were open on Labor Day. read more

Old Mill Brewpub has a tranquil atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. We had a business meeting with a group of 6 people, and the service we received was outstanding! Family friendly, business meeting friendly, and they have a room for parties as well! Definitely recommend checking them out and giving them a try! Wonderful place! read more

So unexpectedly good! My bf got the fried shrimp and fish and it was great. The fries are delicious. I got the poke bowl, which I was nervous to order from a pub, but wow! Amazing! Asked for a side of ponzu and siracha aoli sauce for extra flavor. Definitely recommend. read more

Love the bartender and the appetizers! Joey keeps me visiting and enjoying it all. Cheers!

Food was terrible service was poor would not go again overpriced and very little food

Really nice patio and view. Great family place server was very friendly. Wife and I had burgers which were overcooked per what we ordered. The menu said they were supposed to be spicy but in reality they were not spicy at all. I asked if the jalapeños were fresh or picked and waiter said fresh, but they they were pickled. I would have given a little higher rating but the time to get and pay my check took longer than the whole time to get and eat our food. Might give it another try in the future hopefully it was just an off night. read more

The food is mostly bar food. There is an ample alcohol menu if you're interested. Some dishes lack flavor.

MUST GO if you are anywhere within driving range of Lexington, SC! Was recommend to us by a guy from the area as a good place to get a beer and have a bite to eat. Had a few local and beers after telling the bar tender (Doug) what what I was in the mood and her choose perfectly! Very wide selection of seasonal, local, and other microbrews on tap...and hopefully soon they will have their own (end of Dec I heard). TV's with different sports on around the bar area. UPDATE: Went in for a few beers and food on Halloween night and most employees got into the holiday. I ate the Old Mill Burger (8oz burger, Pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, applewood smoked bacon and pepper gravy) and noticed right away they aren't using regular salt on their fries but Kosher instead! My co-worker ended up with a "The Missle Crisis" (aka Cuban) and it looked and smelled so dang good I had stop eating fries, have another beer and snag one myself... Wish I lived here so I could enjoy this food every time I wanted it! All the employees we chatted with (some kitchen staff, Doug, and the bartender - Jamie (might be mis-spelling it) we really great and the locals made you feel at home. read more

I'd been wanting to come here and try it since hearing about if from a friend. My wife and I decided to try it last Saturday for lunch, arriving around 1:00PM . First, the atmosphere: The place wasn't crowded at all, so we apparently picked a good time to come. Weather was hot and we decided to sit out on the back deck. They also have a screened in porch with tables if you prefer not to eat out in the open. I'd heard that the restaurant is on a lake but I don't know if I would call it a lake. It looked more like a man made pond to me. There was sort of a musty smell that came off the water on Saturday. Not sure if that is normal or was due to the excessive heat of the day. The "lake" basically has dirt all around it and isn't very attractive, so the ambience isn't quite what I expected. I must say the inside of the restaurant is very nice. A nice bar and a lot of seating. We decided to just split the Elvis Presley sandwich. This was the Prime rib sandwich with horseradish sauce, blue cheese and sauteed carmelized onions. My wife and I both thought it was excellent. It came with friies and they also were very good. We also tried the "brewschetta". We make homemade classic bruschetta all the time in the traditional method so were sort of surprised when the "Brewschetta" was brought to the table. It diidn't look as appetizing as the normal Italian bruschetta. It was on toasted bread and had tomatoes, walnut pesto, and what looked like shredded mozzarella cheese melted on it. To our surprise it was very good, better than what we expected. We've decided to try making that the next time we do bruschetta. The menu was extensive and we would liked to have tried some of the other items. I will definitely go back. Not sure if I'll be going on a Friday night or so as I can see how this could be a popular place on weekend evenings. I would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the lake effect! Our waitress was very prompt and checked on us several times. I'm looking forward to trying the muffaletta sandwich next. read more

Read some earlier reviews that suggested service issues might be expected, but they appeared shortly after the place had just opened. We experienced no such issues on our recent visit. Service was fine on our visit, and our waiter seemed to know his craft beer (which my wife enjoys). She wanted to try a sampler which he patiently helped her make her selections. We decided to order the crab dip on soft baked pretzel appetizer. Either of these would have been good stand-alone, but they just didn't work together for us. Your mileage may vary. We did try a burger and fries. Excellent choice. The burger was cooked to order, good flavor with plenty of topping choices. Nice soft brioche bun. I hope the readers (and the owner) don't take this the wrong way, but the fries reminded me of, and were as good as, those at Five Guys. I mean that as a compliment. Five Guys makes damn good fries, and so does this place. Planning to return. Prime rib sandwich looked interesting and the waiter spoke highly of it. read more

Old Mill Brewpub - Excellent burger and fries. - American Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Good food and beer. Not always served hot, though. Like the atmosphere by the water and the vibe.

The food, flavor, atmosphere was very pleasing, much to be desired, presentation of the food was Excellent. A host of items on the menu, offering something for the whole family. My husband enjoyed the homemade beer choices. The shop was both clean and tidy, having plenty seating. The hostess/ waitress was attentive at all times. Staff members there greeted us in/ out when we left. The food was more than filling, loved all the dishes thus far. We will certainly be returning soon and would recommend this facility. My husband and I loved this place, also a plus was the live band! Now on the down side we had to wait to be seated, Service was slow- once we got seated we did see plenty seating available, now sure what the issue was. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for appetizer, received 6 of them for $6.99, just a little over priced for the quality and quantity. So I couldn't give the 5* rating due to these issues, it was in a Friday night. I feel I have been fair on this review. read more

Old Mill Brewpub was a nice experience. The old mill was a great setting. We sat on the deck in the back. Food: I had the Old Mill Burger (bacon, fried green tomatoes, and pepper gravy). Outstanding! Good fries as well. My wife had the grilled chicken panini. Also good. The sweet potato fries are coated in cinnamon and sugar. Wow! There's a kids meal, too. Beer: I had two flights ($8 for five 4oz glasses). Only one of the Old Mill brews was subpar. The others were solid beers. Service: I was in a party of eight (four adults, four kids 1-7 y/o). Amanda was our server. She helped us get highchairs. She was attentive. Food and drinks came quickly. I noticed all of the staff had the same demeanor. Note: A previous reviewer deducted stars because the lake was drained, hurting the ambiance. The review seems to suggest the lake was drained on purpose. Please know that the dam burst during the deadly and damaging flooding in SC during October 2015. This is noted in the menu. While the lake may be nice, I completely understand it not being there at present. read more

Finally got to try this place after going twice but they had a 45 minute wait. I had the prime rib sammich aka the Elvis Pressley. Added au jus to make it just right and dove in. The dessert menu was to die for. I wanted it allllllll. Settled on the blueberry tart which was perfect. I don't drink so have no comment about the brews, but I love that they have live music. There have been other restaurants in this location before but I think this will last--it's affordable, fun, and the waitstaff was amazing. My friend loves a burger and theirs was hand patted and huge. We really enjoyed our meal and plan to go back with a group and sit on the deck that looks out over the mill pond. It's a little dim inside but sit near the window to combat that. And if you're in a rush, sit at the bar or do like we did and go on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Love this place! We have been showing our house to sell and needed a restaurant where we could bring our dogs. They have outside seating (with fans.). They love dogs & bring water & treats whenever we arrive. On a Tuesday, I was looking forward to tacos & margarita & it's their Tuesday special. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Really good menu, great service and pricing. Excellent craft menu on tap! The burgers and fries are great too!

The service was awesome, but the product left much to be desired. My wife and I ordered a couple of draft beers that came out room temp. We were quickly offered cold bottles of beer as replacements. The special today was a pastrami and collard greens sandwich on sourdough. The center stems of the collard greens were not removed, they were under cooked, and the bread was rye. This seems like a great place that had a bad day. 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

Nice place to just sit and enjoy your friends/ loved ones. Food was good - not at all just your typical pub good - they make everything with their own flair. Beer was good. Service could be considered slow, but it's actually meant to be relaxing. If you're in s hurry, just say something and they'll get you in and out. Lake isn't there any more because of the dam, but it's still nice while they're waiting for the dam to be fixed. read more

Love the outdoor seating. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. There used to be a bigger lake, but this just as good. On a beautiful day this is a great place to sit outside and enjoy the Carolina Sunshine. The staff is very friendly and always looking to see if they can help. The Southern BLT is great and the Buffalo Soldier is very good and not spicy!! read more

Pretty good service, and great selection of beers. Appetizers are the best thing on the menu.

Was in the area and hungry when I saw the sign for this restaurant. We pulled in the parking lot but initially couldn't find the restaurant which is at the back of the lot. When you walk in you are surprised at how nice it is both inside and out on the deck which is where we decided to eat. We ordered southwest egg rolls and calamari as appetizers, and I got one of the house brewed beers. The beer was good, unfortunately the appetizers weren't so great. The egg rolls were ok but came with a funky tasting mustard sauce. The calamari came out with soggy breading. For the main course My wife and I ordered the Old Mill Burger which was really good. My daughter got fish and shrimp. She said she liked the shrimp but not the fish. Overall, the restaurant is really a nice place as far as layout and atmosphere. The food was hit and miss with some really good, some not that great. I would have given three stars but bumped them up a half star for making their own beer. 3 1/2 stars. read more

We took a chance and went back after a terrible experience. A friend was learning where I work and this was her choice. The beer selection was excellent (as it was before). I got something called "beer paddle" so I could try several different kinds of beer. Some I loved, two I did not but that's totally a personal taste. We all got burgers and they were done extremely well. In fact, I couldn't finish mine and had to take part of it home. Our service was okay. The restaurant was busy and she was stretched out so I understood that. If you have never been to the Old Mill, it's in an old cotton mill. Side note, I have worked in one in the upstate when I was in college. A shame that these old places are mostly gone now. I will say that this last eating experience redeemed them for me. Possibly they had a bad night the first time I was there. read more
