For a small town diner, this place is a pretty neat find. I initially discovered this place on yelp after looking for a cute diner on the way back from hurricane ridge. This place is located near the side of a small street and is pioneer themed. Upon first glance, I appreciated the aesthetics of the exterior and interior of the restaurant. While initially entering the restaurant, the service staff immediately greeted me and was incredibly kind. She seated us at the booth near the window. She started off by giving us our silverware, menus, and drinks. I decided to try their "most popular" reuben sandwich and my friend went with the bbq elk burger. Their customer service was great as the practice proper social distancing and wore masks. Reuben 7/10: The sandwich was pilled with sauerkraut and the meat was a too salty for me. BBQ Elk Burger 5/10: The portions were relatively sizeable but the meat was grossly overcooked. Would not recommend. Ultimately, this place is a cute and neat place to check out with awesome customer service, however, it is a little pricy for a small town diner and I would opt to try different menu items if returning. read more

Went just after the new owners took over for a late breakfast. May need a revisit. Service was quality. Not a fan of the pink gravy. My potatoes were like chopped up French fries. Lots of stuff around that needs a good cleaning read more

We just visited port Angeles and stopped in to Old Mill a few times! The owner Savanha served us and she was awesome and very quick! Even my picky son loved the food there! read more

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

A post-golf meal for us. everyone had something different in between the lunch and dinner hours. Our waitress was on point, meals came out all together, soda and water refills timely. A great place to fuel up after golf. We'll be back read more

Old mill cafe was built on the site of an old mill. They have the distinction of producing the very best onion rings I have ever had. The drinks are legit and the service has always (nearly always) been on point. You dine surrounded by relics of logging past. Nice old-school cafe whit ambience. read more

4 stars?!? This place is low key the best joint on the peninsula Or specifically in sequim. The food is so great . Every time we visit every thing we order 10/10! This evening the wife and I wanted to drop in after work for some dinner . Prime rib, clam chowder r, onion rings, and seafood pasta. Everyt one of these bad boys was so delicious The seafood linguines was robust! Tons of sea food clams, crab chunks, fish, schrimps. Everything cooked to tender perfection not one bite rubbery. Great sauce, great service great vibe. If your visiting and neglect to eat here you've missed out. It's the vibe. read more

Had a couple soup 'n hot sandwiches here. Good service. Both rhe Reubin and Cuban were top notch as well as the soup. Very good experience.

Went for lunch. Had their Rueben sandwich. It was listed as their specialty. It was just an average sandwich. Nothing noteworthy. The service was very slow and the server we had seemed like she was just going through the motions. Not a pleasant person at all. I was not at all impressed. read more

Great menu, excellent service, delicious food. This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. A gravel parking lot eases into an asphalt area inset with saw mill blades. But once you are inside, it's like a summer camp lodge. The menu has lots to choose from. My husband had the barbecued ribs. They were meaty and tender and a huge portion. He is planning to eat the leftovers for lunch. I had the sole special and it was perfection. The lemon sauce with capers went well with the couscous and the broccoli was al dente. The service was top notch. Our water glasses were refilled without having to ask and extra napkins were delivered for the barbecue sauce fingers. We felt attended to without being interrupted unnecessarily. And as if that wasn't enough, there is a PokeStop on the premises. read more

Bad, bad food. Old Mill Cafe used to be great. So sad it's gone so far downhill. Low quality old food served for expensive prices. I ordered a beef dip, roll was okay with some fatty tough meat, some kind of weird yellow cheese, and a bunch of slimy onions. Side salad was brown and smelled of bag lettuce. I told the waitress I couldn't eat it, she ignored my comment and walked away. read more

absolutely fantastic! the atmosphere was very clean and pleasing, employees were extremely nice and food was soo good! definitely trying again when im in the area! read more

nice place; not cheap. crab bennie was tasty, but smelled a little fishy for something as fresh as it was supposed to be. enjoyed the Lumberjack. nice place, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. read more

Lots has changed since I wrote my review in 2014 -- the food is still great and the logging motif is exactly the same, but the food might be even better than before. We've had great fish and chips (came back for the salmon & chips but were told it was too expensive to serve now.) The burgers are good with lots of fresh veggies. I'm told the chowder often arrives warm instead of hot. They could use some more servers, but the current ones are very friendly. read more

Cute place that we stumbled on. Food was pretty good. Had salmon burger and pulled pork sandwich. Service was not great. After getting our food didn't see waitress again until we asked for the check. read more

Service is good and friendly. Had breakfast here, was disappointing. My hasbrowns were chopped up French fries. Gravy was PINK? For the expense won't try it again. read more

Cute and rustic cafe. The food was delicious (loved the marionberry jam too) and the service was friendly and fast. Would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Oh my goodness, I really wasn't expecting to find this gem! Breakfast was great cheaper than I'd expect, the service was phenomenal- I actually met the owner! There's a lot to look at while you're there kind of a mini museum. I guess it Litteraly used to be a lumber mill so there's a bunch of antiques in here! I sat at the Key table if your curious I will come again! It's really great that a quick breakfast on the side of the highway was a good enough experience that I thought about it all day and had to write a review at 11 o'clock that night see you guys again soon! read more

My family absolutely loves this restaurant! The food is fabulous, very well plated and huge portions! The lobster benny, NUM!! Savanah, the new owner, was so kind and personable. The staff and chef seemed to be long-time employees, which is nice to see in this industry. We will definitely be returning! read more

One of my favorites Never disappointed with the excellent personal and friendly staff. Delicious food, attention to details on special orders. I always have felt The old Mill Cafe to be comfortable, clean and cozy. I enjoy bring visitors & friends here for a good meal. Savanna not only is an amazing hard working person with integrity, she also knows how to operate a successful and inviting restaurant! Well done! read more

Good, well prepared food but the price is comparable to high end city dining and this place is not very city-like by any means. Prices too high for local clientele. Gave it one more try but won't be coming back. Sorry Old Mill. read more

Excellent place. It's always packed. Good food and good atmosphere as well. I would recommend it...

Friendly family place to enjoy a meal with your honey or with your friends and family! I'm plantbased and able to find good plantbased meals here. Although choice is limited, they are good about customizing some meals they offer. read more

Now I fully understand that in this post Covid environment where hiring people is tough....so it hard to write a negative review. However, certain things need to be pointed out, so the next food explorers can make decisions based on what their experience might be. Lazy and uninterested staff. Multiple asks on the staples, salt/pepper, utensils/napkins. And the filth.... dirty chairs. Dirty tables. Filthy salt/pepper/tobacco bottles. Pictures included. If the obvious customer facing things like this are presented, what's the kitchen look like? Who knows? Do you really want to know? For the prices they expect you to pay, one would think a little more effort would go into it! Give this place a spin....don't take my word for it. But if you do...don't say you weren't warned. read more

Wonderful ambience , wait staff very attentive and a most delicious breakfast! Thoroughly enjoyed my French style omelet with shrimp and pancakes. So light & fluffy. Would definitely return anytime I am in Sequim. read more

A bit expensive but worth it. Good service, really good food. Fish 'n Chips are outstanding and I highly recommend the Gobbler turkey sandwich. Nice place and interesting decor. Eat here! read more

NEW OWNERSHIP. Not the same anymore. Food was marginal. Service was fair. They don't have a liquor license. Will possibly try again later on. read more

It's Thursday night and we ended up at the Old Mill Cafe which is slightly off the beaten path. Were we glad we drove the extra few miles because the place is very cute, Savanna provided outstanding service and our meals were outstanding. I think I can say with out fear of contradiction that the Fish and Chips presented the lightest breading over the flakyest cod. With really fresh homemade tarter sauce. My wife all most always orders the carb cakes and tonight she was all over the crab/scrimp cakes. There was three mostly carb and shrimp meat cakes with the minimum of breading with a side of wonderful dipping sauce Ops I nearly forgot she started with great French Onion soup and my fish and chips included a 1/2 head of cabbage coleslaw So don't be fooled by the rustic facade because the food is gourmet along with outstanding service making this a great evening out. Our only regret is Chicago is to fat away to make, The Old Mill Cafe A regular visit. read more

Overall (weighted*) Rating (4.25 Stars) Menu Variety: (4 Stars) Food Quality/Taste: (4 Stars) Presentation: (3 Stars) Service: (5 Stars) Ambience: (4 Stars) Prices: ($$$) Value: (4 Stars) -- Worth the Splurge ------ This eclectic, old-style dining house probably hasn't changed much in decades. Featuring prime rib on Fridays and Saturdays, three out of four of those in our party decided to "go for it," and the fourth opted for seafood linguini. Although the wine list and beer selection was adequate three of us ordered Lavender Lemon Drop Mojitos, a specially cocktail designed specifically for the Lavender Festival. Each entree was accompanied by chowder or a salad, a potato dish or rice pilaf and sauteed veggies. Our eight ounce prime rib dishes easily weighed in at 12 ounces and were served medium rare with au jus and horseradish sauce. I opted for fresh, finely ground horseradish which definitely had enough kick to satisfy my craving for the real stuff! The chowder was so-so and the sauteed veggies were just okay, but both entree selections were spectacular! Our loaded baked potatoes provided a perfect balance for each of the carnivore's palates. ------ *Weighted Overall Rating (35% Taste; 35% Service; 10% each for Menu Variety, Presentation and Ambience).

Hidden little gem- authentic small town restaurant. Food was good, atmosphere was quaint. No frills, very casual.

Popped in on a Friday night at 6:45 for dinner. All 5 of us were extremely pleased with our meals. I had the salmon and mashed potatoes, one of us had the Reuben sandwich, my daughter had the baked penne special, my husband had the Cobb salad and clam chowder, and finally another had fish n onion rings. All of us were thrilled with everything. Highly recommend. read more

Great service and had the best food ever! The ambiance was really nice and will go again

Stopped in late afternoon one day while taking a day trip. My wife found it on Yelp, and given the four star average decided to give it a try. I wasn't terribly impressed to be honest. I wavered between two and three stars. Service - Acceptable, but not as quick as one would expect given that there were only three occupied tables in the whole place, including ours. We were also fairly ignored after our food was brought. I ended up standing at the front counter for ten minutes before someone came to let me pay the check. Food - I really wish there were more options on the menu. I settled on the fish and chips and was pretty disappointed. The fish was a bit too moist and the batter just kinda fell off and the fish itself crumbled when I picked it up. It also wasn't really seasoned at all. Not much flavor to it. The fries weren't great. My wife had a french dip of some form that she said was unremarkable. read more

Good Ruben and fries but they had no Cuban sandwich supplies and had no cream cheese for the crab melt. We ended up getting a slice of pie to-go and it was $8+ there was no price shown on table sign (could've asked, but decided to get it anyways) it ended up being a crappy little plain cold piece of pie that I could've got at Safeway. Seems like a hit and miss kind of place. read more

We had a fabulous sandwich! The BLTCA with toasted rye was an absolute winner. Nice outdoor patio. They seem to be a bit understaffed mid-week, but it's a small price to pay. I'd recommend stopping here! read more

Food could have been better: "salads" looked like the prepackaged iceberg lettuce + carrot mix you find at the store, kids mac & cheese was the boxed mac & cheese from the store. My Cuban sandwich was good (ham + pulled pork on a toasted roll). Waffle fries were good. Just a bit expensive for the quality. read more

Went to breakfast with my parents here last Sunday. Super cute deco and building. I was so excited because on their breakfast menu, they have half order options. Love!!! I got the eggs Benedict with crab cakes and half order was just perfect! Great coffee too! read more

Service was a little slow, Due to what I believe is short staff. My wife and I went there together. It was very rustic and definitely had that old mill feel. I had the reuben sandwich which was excellent, and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. We finished the meal up with Marion berry pie, which was excellent. We will definitely be going back. read more

Prompt and friendly service and cute ambiance (save for a couple pesky flies both visits). I ordered a Kobe beef burger and fries. Burger was a bit overdone but otherwise tasty and onion rings were very good. My friend had the French Dip, which she really enjoyed. I had breakfast here recently as well - breakfast potatoes were clearly way over cooked (bring back the Potatoes O'Brien) but it was otherwise fine. I note that on Fridays I have enjoyed prime rib here - always been good. The prices have increased over the last few months and now a $1.50 charge for a to go container. I often don't eat everything and to pay for a to go container will cause me to rethink how often I visit. read more

One of my favourite places to eat in Sequim. (Actually, it's in Carlsborg, just outside of Sequim.) They do an excellent veggie burger here. It's Southwest-inspired with black beans and corn. You can make it vegan by asking for vegan cheese and mayo, which is delicious. It's a little on the spicy side, which I like. And you have your choice of sides (french fries, salad, soup) but honestly it's hard to go past the fries here. They do really good fries. Atmosphere-wise, this place is fun. It's sort of logging/lumberjack-themed, with giant round sawblades inlaid in the ground outside, chandeliers made out of logging saws, Tiffany lamps and wooden panels, and a really eclectic mix of random old-timey stuff hanging on the walls. It's definitely got the "rustic charm" thing going on here. Service has always been great here, very friendly. Prices are on the "not cheap" side but not too bad. Definitely worth a visit if you're heading to Sequim. I just wish they had a couple more vegan options. read more

Food was 3/10 breakfast was terrible, don't get anything with sausage in it. Biscuits and gravy were cold when it arrived and the biscuits were lukewarm. Potatoes were 8/10 though. Coffee tasted like it was all bottom barrel coffee. It was nasty and most of the food that arrived with my group was cold. It looks nice but tastes like crap. read more
