The servers seemed unprofessional and a bit scattered. The Ruben sandwich I ordered, was so dry I couldn't swallow it. The meat was stacked thick on it and I seriously couldn't get it down. Maybe they have better choices but the times I've eaten there, it hasn't been worth the $. read more

After seeing the other reviews on here I decided to try them. They are clean and as other reviews say they look rustic. The service was a little slow but for me that added to the family style atmosphere. The server was friendly and kept my glass full. Food came in a reasonable amount of time. I got a cup of chili with cheese on top which came with garlic bread. I failed to take a picture of this but it was delicious. The chili was mild ( could have been spicier) but very flavorful. The garlic bread was perfectly seasoned and buttered. Very fresh and crisp without being tough. For the main course I got the elk burger and fries. The burger was a little bland after the chili and garlic bread but I lov d the fries. I'm not usually a fan of seasoned fries but these were fantastic. As the garlic bread they were perfectly spiced and crispy. I would recommend this place for lunch to anyone. I will be back to try the dinner menu. read more

Love this place!! Delightful and friendly staff! Clean restaurant. We found every meal always delicious! Never disappointed! One of our favorite places to eat! read more

First time visit this morning! We were seated straight away & our server was there at our table. I had the Harvest Moon which consisted of many veggies over a bed of home cooked potatoes with melted cheese & a side of toast. Hubby had the crab & shrimp cake benedict. Both the dishes were excellent! Food came hot as did the coffee. Definitely worth another trip to Carlsborg to try lunch one day. Today we went for lunch. The staff & service was great! My sandwich came as I had ordered it. The restaurant is one of the gems of the Olympic Peninsula. read more

Overall customer service is good. The fish I had was old, as I'm sure is was not fresh, but frozen and can cause food borne illness if it's fishy or older. ice cream is not the best quality, Hagan daz is supposedly Gluten free and the better of them.Most restaurants are in it for the big buck and overall customer service is not as it was 8 to 10 years ago. The customer was always rite to some degree in 70s to 80s.Now it's fading too. They say they use Clark's beef and it does not have much flavor and taste like mutton. read more

Family and I visited this while on vacation. At first when you pull up to the location it's kind of like not your typical eatery place but when you walk in it is very cozy and warm. The staff was super friendly and the service was great. We had a few of their entrees and they were served hot and the taste was a bit more than ok but not like phenomenal. I gave this place a 5 star because it was clean and even though they were short handed the attitude and friendliness they demonstrated would definitely bring me back there the next time I visit this charming little town! read more

We have eaten here several times and usually enjoy ourselves my dish was the pancakes and eggs and they were fantastic but unfortunately my spouse had B&G combo and and the biscuits were so disappointing. I know we came in towards the end of breakfast right before lunch but that doesn't mean you should serve terrible biscuits. I feel that it is the server's responsibility that if they notice the main item on the dish not being eaten that there's a problem. They were very busy that day and understaff so I understand that part due to the pandemic and what we're all going through. It is how you take care of the customer you're the customer that can save you you and have them come back again. Asking us if there's anything else they could get for us I don't think was the way to handle that. I know nobody wants to give money off of something but also nobody wants to pay for a crappy biscuit. I felt like we were the ones that lost. read more

I really want to like this place. It's cute and cozy. The servers are nice but there doesn't seem to be a good flow. The food looks great. A for presentation but C+ for taste and consistency. Been there 3 times, had the same meal 3 times, it was different all 3 times. No no no... read more

Came for breakfast on our way out of town & very much enjoyed it. The service was excellent as our coffee & tea was brought promptly & was our orders taken. I ordered the crab omelette while my wife got the eggs benedict with crab. Both were excellent with the crab tasting very fresh. Only small downside was the potatoes were not quite cooked enough & my toast was a bit cool. Overall I'd definitely give this place a try. read more

Great little road side cafe. Food & service was fantastic. I had the French dip with cheese & fries. Would definitely come back again if traveling through the area. read more

As I've come here over the years it has progressively gotten worse . I'm sad to say they are completely lacking in waiters or waitresses who can TAKE an order accurately , and also keep my coffee cup filled . I am always friendly and pretty understanding if someone has a bad day. But I stopped eating here because my order turned to be wrong or undercooked (eggs) or over cooked ... I wish I could grade higher . It used to be amazing read more

We love Old Mill! Great place with seating inside and out. Always try out their weekly specials! We have people from 12 to 90+ in our house and we all love Old Mill Cafe. read more

First off, the place is adorable. Love the decor, the vibe, the tables made from doors, very cool looking place, inside and out. From there, that's about it. It took going through 3 different people to get a table, and none of them talked to each other. It was hard to watch. We were greeted by our wait person, who said she would get a table cleared for us and walked off. The poor hostess/buss girl who was running around never got told that were were waiting for a table to be cleared so she was off doing other things, she eventually asked if we'd been helped, and we said we had, then another wait person talked to us and chewed out the hostess girl for not clearing the table, that she was never told about by the first person. Wasn't her fault and she didn't deserve that. The food, it was tasty, I really enjoyed it. The whole family enjoyed it, even my kids. The service was beyond horrible. We had to keep asking for refills, and even when our wait person delivered them, not once did she ask if we needed anything, we were treated as if we were an inconvenience to her because she was busy. Sorry you're busy and have the chance to make some awesome tips and you're letting your stress levels pour onto us. We left after paying for our meal and tipped the hostess/buss girl directly and asked her to give a few bucks to the kitchen, but not our wait person. I will return and give them another chance, but with service like that, it doesn't matter how good your food is. read more

NOM NOM freakin' NOM. It says Carlsborg but I would still just call it Sequim, for those headed in from out of town. Just an FYI. It's over by the golf course. What can I say? We sat down and were told that they were running far behind because everybody came at once so getting food would take about 35-40 minutes. I was too hungover to protest so I just whispered 'water' and hoped for the best. 2 minutes later they brought by some fresh fruit for us to nibble on while we waited to order. On the house, in fact, which I found rather classy. And this was a vast bowl of fruit, mind you. We ordered after getting some recommendations (chicken fried chicken breakfast and the dungeness bene), and then they brought us a 'starter pancake' because they felt bad about the wait. I actually heard 'star pancake' and was sad when I realized that it wouldn't be star shaped. And then I was super happy because my server had figured out a way to beat the system. (yes, we tipped well for that little non-star nugget of happiness) Our actual food: the eggs were cooked PERFECTLY. Like, I don't even get it. They must use one of those cool egg poachers from the infomercials. The shape and the density...I haven't actually had a poached egg this perfect in my life. Also, the hollandaise was damn near perfect - nice and mild to not cover up the delicateness of the crab meat...of which, there was a generous amount. Potatoes were perfectly seasoned (although a smidge oily...but what did I care, I had a vat of rum to soak up from the night before). My husband had the chicken fried chicken (wouldn't that just be chicken? I feel like there should be a negative integer there somewhere) and said that it was the best breakfast he had had since we started dating. I would be offended but I have to agree. It was such a delight to stumble upon this place. Will always go back when we are in town. Oh and to the managers: please be open on Mondays...at least Mondays that are holidays. We came back to eat at your establishment the next day and almost cried when you were closed. We were forced to go to Oak Table...see my other review for that awesomeness. I blame YOU. ;) read more

Visited The Old Mill after a trip to Port Townsend and Sequim. Right off the bat found the service to be strange and the servers themselves to be less than courteous. My friend and I exchanged some glances over a rough greeting after asking to sit outside (the nerve of us stupid customers!), which our server seemed to notice and try to make up for... I guess that's better than being rude the whole meal. Restaurant was maybe half full on the Saturday evening that we visited. Definitely an older crowd, and lots of old timey decorations. Both of these seemed out of place with the young, inexperienced and not overly friendly staff. Then we got menus... prices were tourist prices, no doubt about it. Ranging from about $15-$30 per person for entrees, I felt neither the food nor the atmosphere warranted that much money. My friend ordered the crab cakes for $25 or so dollars, while I ordered a $20 or so salad. Yes... a salad that cost almost as much as crab cakes. I think it had some steak on it. It was a pretty good salad, but not one I would pay that much for again. Ultimately, I just felt that in a town that small, this food in this place should not be that price. Were the dishes to be $3-5 less each, I would probably overlook weird service and give 4 stars. Try this spot out if you like American food and are willing to deal with attitude while eating dressed up Shari's food. read more

After hearing from a friend that Old Mill Cafe had the "best biscuits and gravy on the Peninsula", we decided to give them a shot. We were heading to Silverdale late Sunday morning (I know - Sundays are the busiest mornings for restaurants) and stopped in for breakfast. We placed our order and we waited. And waited. And waited. After a half hour or so, the server told us there was a large group (15 top) before us and that the kitchen was trying to cook our order at the same time. 45 minutes after we ordered, we got our food. The food was cold. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good, and my husband seemed to enjoy the spinach scramble. We were hungry and probably would have eaten anything at by that point. The fact that we waited so long and received cold food was a major disappointment. read more

Old Mill Cafe - Entrance - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsborg, Washington

I wonder if the Old Mill Cafe would better serve as a museum rather then a restaurant, the amount of historic memorabilia rivals some of the best in the area.... oh well... But your probably wondering about the food right? Well I have good news, all my experience here ended very well. The menu includes all the usual suspects done right, along with some surprises to keep you coming back. Try it! read more

This place is great! I love the breakfast here. The portions are huge. I do not eat bacon that often, but the bacon here is outstanding. The atmosphere here is lovely. The waitress Anna was great. She got the order correct the first time. She also came around to check up on us numerous times. This place is a must to eat at in this area. read more

Old Mill Cafe - Check out the huge pancakes. I also asked for cinnamon apple toppings. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsborg, Washington

My wife and I walked through the door and immediately I was struck with the smell of sour clothes or an elderly person wearing an expired pair of depends. The decor was a tree huggers nightmare but a good glimpse of what life was like 100 years ago. The employees were nice but not very welcoming. We were asked for our order, given our coffee, and then given our bill. The food was average given the price. The worst was the men's room. The floor around the urinal was disgusting and looked as if it hadn't been touched in months. This probably added to the overall urine smell and the two air freshener next to the urinal. I don't think I'll be coming back....ever. read more

Food is terrific! I do have a few suggestions.... I would like to see the owners put up a divider between the bathroom doors and the dining area which are right next to each other - there is enough room and it would certainly make dining near them nit so icky. Also, the bathrooms should be gender neutral since they are single occupancy. read more

This place has the best burgers! 2 of us had the Wagyu burger, 1 had the special a Hawaiian burger...ham, pineapple & teriyaki sauce and 1 the classic burger. We tried fries and onion rings everything was hot fresh and delicious! Definitely will be back! read more

The food: pure quality. Really good stuff, worth traveling a ways for. The environment: funky, cool, interesting -- really I did not expect this place to be so cool based on my first impression from the outside. The staff: very friendly/helpful. Food is on the slow-side to come out and be served, but quality takes time and this stuff is well worth waiting for. read more

Thus is a must stop if you are in the area. Good solid food, breakfast is the best. The 2-2-2 has real pancakes! Waitstaff is friendly and knowledgable of the area. Larry is the owner and gives great oral history of the peninsula history read more

Yummy lunch at the Old Mill Cafe. Super wait staff and excellent crab and cheddar melt. Looking forward to going again!

Oh boy. The eggs were overdone for the benedict. The food was cold and gravy coagulated. It took a very long time to get our food and then our check (And she knew we were done because she gave us a "to go" box). Locals seemed to get served faster than us. Groups larger than us (4) too! We watched them arrive, eat and leave before us. I would not go back read more

Delicious! First time here... Stopped in for breakfast, and will definitely be going back. Loved the fried potatoes and the link sausages. Was not crazy about the flavor of the sausage gravy, but I think it was personal preference. The benedict I had was good. Loved the atmosphere of this place - felt cozy and waitresses were friendly. read more

This place is nothing short of magic. The owner Larry has a passion for this place and you can see it in the decor every time you look. His wife is an artist and has Stained glass pieces and other art in the restaurant as well. The food was great and I was taking pictures of the awesome decor when I saw a guy smiling at me and I told him you can tell I'm a tourist and he came over and it turns out it's Larry the owner. He told us all kinds of historical stories about the restaurant and where he got different things that were there. He also showed us a miniature of the town mill that his friend had created. As I was leaving and getting in my car he came and knocked on the window and gave me six Italian plums that I think were from a tree nearby. Best things ever! I was hoping I'd find some in a grocery store but no luck. Don't miss this place if you go through wonderful staff, great food and the decor is awesome. Make sure you ask for Larry because he's a pleasure to talk to. I hated leaving! I wanted to stay and hear more stories! read more

We are new to town and seriously have been here multiple times. The food is so good and the atmosphere is wonderful but the staff is what makes this place so wonderful. Jenna is one of the best and has remembered our names. We feel so at home here as everyone is just great. We highly recommend this little gem. Hubs has had the crab stuffed raviolis every time and again tonight. read more

Their kobe beef burger is delicious, but sometimes it's a bit too rich and you're full after about 2 bites. So a lot of the time, as an alternative, I'll get their pastrami sandwich. I don't typically even eat pastrami, but this sandwich is soooo good I can't resist. There is a diversity of things to choose from on the menu and the service is usually pretty good (I think there was one occassion where it was lacking because they were so busy, but it was forgivable). Lots of fun things to look at, too. One table had all sorts of old keys and matchbooks from restaurants in Sequim from yesteryear under the table glass. And of course there is lots of sawmill-related stuff to check out. Love the rustic atmosphere. We'll be back! read more

Fascinating look into Washington past. The owner is very engaging and explained all the amazing things displayed throughout the cafe. Highly recommend. Close to the Olympic Discovery Bike Trail read more

Great little place. I wish I liked in Sequim because I'd totally eat there every week and BS with the regulars. Love the personableness established. Here are the pluses: 1. Coffee--good 2. Server--super nice 3. Owner--nice, let us try his homemade caramel, gave us a history lesson via scale model 4. Food--good (except they had run out of a few things due to the busy weekend. I forgive them) 5. Atmosphere--good read more

I recently moved back into town from Seattle (and its amazing food) to be pleasantly surprised to find that Old Mill has that same level of foodie loving quality. No crappy dinner food here, it all tastes hand crafted with care. This and Oaktable are hands down the best places to eat in all of Sequim. read more

Love the fries! Good burger but smallish for price. They charges $1 for cheese, bacon etc. Beautiful Deco, very interesting stories on some pieces and the diorama in the table. If the owner is around, ask him about it! Friendly staff, I haven't had any issues in the several stops here. Early dinner burger special includes a beer, for a total of $15. (can't recall now if that included tip) This is the sort of place good to bring a date or your parents, either way it's not crazy expensive, yet still nice enough to not feel "commercialized" or grease pit. read more

I went in for breakfast, sat outside with a view of the pretty garden like area. Excellent food! Service was good and the place was pretty busy on a Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. you have to know it is there. It's off the beaten path. I found it through a google search. Highly recommend (for breakfast anyway). read more

Do not understand how this place has such good reviews. Ordered a mimosa and the French dip. Fries were good and so was the drink but everything else is stuff you'd see on Kitchen Nightmares. Dead flies on windowsill at our table. Not very clean water glasses. And then the sandwich... au jus was literally a cup of oil. "Meat piled high" not as described. One layer of meat, no onions, and meat was full of tough fat. Unavoidable to eat a bite without pulling something back out of my mouth. My friend dining with me said her food was alright but her veggie burger patty completely fell apart and was a mess to eat. She too was disturbed by the lack of cleanliness. Especially during COVID, this was a concern. Thankfully they had hand sanitizer at the front desk which we both used several times throughout the meal. read more

Food was good but the dungenous crab melt on English muffin was too small. My friend ordered the sandwich on sourdough and it was twice as big. Learning = order sourdoug sandwich with English muffins on the side. read more

Organic coffee some of the best ever! Homemade jam to die for. The gluten free bread was the best we've ever had at a breakfast restaurant. It didn't even taste gluten free. We arrived just after breakfast ended but the staff accommodated our whining. This was our only chance to dine and we thanked them for accommodating us. The smoked salmon benedict was delicious. The pancakes were picture perfect fluffy goodness and the teenagers gobbled them up. Something for everyone! Overall food very tasty, well thought out and ample portions for all. Thank you for offering quality food to weary travelers. Visited August 2015 read more

We found Old Mill Cafe on the Yelp and stop by to see how they are good. well, bullseye!! bally beef soup, pork rib lunch is the best!!! that I never had these good. so many local elder customers fillup the place by noon. if you are lucky, maybe find a table that even on Monday. I will be going there when I am passing by or stop by Sequim. they need another star!!! read more
