    Fried Cheese Sticks
    Dawson S.

    The food was excellent. Food was cooked as expected with the steak being perfectly cooked at a medium as I requested. Prices are reasonable for what you get at a more expensive restaurant. Service was quick and fast, waiters being very friendly and constantly coming back to check on us and get refills without question from us. The atmosphere was very calming and pleasant with a great country environment that will make anyone feel at home.

    This one is a tough review for me (I would give 2 1/2 stars). I love to find and support local businesses and really had high expectations for The Old Mill. It is a long standing staple in Dothan, Alabama. We were in town for Christmas and got here a day early so we wanted to have a nice meal. We got there at an average time for a Saturday night. We weren't really greeted but since there were only two of us we were sat immediately. There isn't any ambiance and not sure that anything has been updated since 1986. There is a full bar behind the hostess station where you can get drinks while you wait. Our server was the highlight of the evening as she was so pleasant and provided lots of "southern hospitality". She got our drinks quickly and we ordered the Cowboy Bites appetizer. It is a fried combination of sweet corn, jalapeño, cream cheese, and bacon. These were delicious! It had just the right amount of pepper flavor and I could clearly taste all four ingredients. They do ask if you would like some rolls which are homemade yeast rolls. These were ok. The tops were nice and soft but the bottoms were a bit overdone. For our entrees I ordered the 10oz ribeye and crab cake combo with a baked potato and steamed broccoli. My wife ordered the grilled chicken with the same sides. The chicken is topped with Swiss and sautéed mushrooms and onions. She opted for the onions only. Unfortunately, the entrees is where things went downhill. The chicken was not very well seasoned and although cooked well to maintain the moisture it just didn't have much flavor. The sautéed onions were mostly the skin of the onion so that was disappointing. Both of our steamed broccoli sides were steamed well but on the cooler side of lukewarm. My crab cake had some good flavor but the lemon butter sauce was much too salty which was surprising as that shouldn't be the case. My steak was also lukewarm at best although I will give credit that it was cooked a perfect medium and had nice flavor. Amazingly, the best parts of our meals were the cheapest parts which were the baked potatoes. Both were hot and fresh. Our food came out pretty quickly which made the lack of hot / fresh temp more disappointing. Our server did thank us for coming in, welcomed us back and wished us a Merry Christmas. In the end, the food quality definitely did not match the price.

    I was in town for a network meeting and wanted local fare and this Old Mill fit the bill for what i wanted. Amber was my server and she kept my water glass full. I ordered the 5oz cheeseburger and it was more than enough. The burger was juicy, the bun was toasted and a separate plate of toppings was provided so i could build my burger. I also had the bread pudding and it was very good. If I had one critique, it may be that the bread wasn't as soft as I like it, but the vanilla ice cream made up for it. If you want to support a local restaurant in Dothan, who makes great burgers, Old Mill is worthy of your money. One addition to this review, Amber brought me a to go water without me even asking and she used my first name when saying goodbye. This is a good, local, restaurant who knows how to treat a customer.

    Food was good. Service was okay, not as friendly or helpful as other places in Dothan. I would try it again.

    Good home cooked dinner. Side salad was a little small, dinner rolls were good, very hardy. Crab cakes were pretty good.

    This was just okay. I was optimistic by the appearance of the restaurant. The restaurant was newer,…read moreup to date, and clean. We were the only people in the restaurant at dinner time which was a little concerning. The fried green tomatoes were good with their house sauce. My shrimp and cheese grits were good, but just good. The house sauce was put in the bowl, but in my opinion it ruined the simple cheese grits and shrimp. Honestly, less is more. This bowl had a lot of the house dipping sauce, cheddar cheese and goat/feta like cheese, green onions, and bacon. The shrimp was good. I got the Petite bowl and it came with 5 shrimp and 4 hushpuppies. The hushpuppies were just okay. Not much flavor. Would have liked the dipping house sauce on the side of that rather than poured in my got bowl. My boyfriend got the tacos and they were huge! The tacos were pretty good! No complaints there. He got hushpuppies too and got a side of the house sauce. Overall, I think I'd rather try another local restaurant next time.

The guy at the register was friendly, answered all our questions with a smile and knew all the answers, like sauce info, portion sizes, etc. we ordered the Loaded Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer. I could have had these for my entree and be happy, they were so delicious! The perfect combination of tanginess from the tomatoes with the Wharf sauce, feta cheese, bacon, and chives. I was a little bummed that they did not have enough grits for a grits bowl, just enough for a couple of sides, so I changed my mind to the Honey Pecan Shrimp (fried) and I am glad I did. Spouse got the Wharf Shrimp (grilled). The shrimp and hush puppies were really great tasting! The grits were okay, but needed a little salt. The cashier at the register was also the person bussing tables, and he was serving food, and was the bartender as well. He was staying busy! The inside is decorated nicely and was clean.

    September 20, 2020…read more Never thought of traveling but my heart convinced me otherwise. Explored around Burlington coat factory to get some things. We got hungry and decided to go to the food court. Not much was open but I happened to noticed this little joint and thought "hey.. let's try this out!" They will say it's gonna take 15-20 minutes but let me assure you.. it will take at LEAST a good FULL HOUR before your order gets out. Do not believe them if they say it's gonna take 15 minutes unless you multiply it by four. So when you decide to come here. Make sure you have your time planned out! Here is what I recommend.. Do not come here hungry or you will be hANGRY! [Its okay to have a snack ready to much on.] 1. Take your order. 2. Then go have fun window shopping around the mall and set an alarm an hour from the time you have ordered. 3. Once your alarm has gone off or you have noticed that an hour has passed. Patiently walk your hungry self over to see if your order is ready. Ask them what is available because most of their dishes are not there anymore. It's a bit pricey because.. you know... it's seafood! The wait might just be worth it? Ehh.. yeah, just might be haha. We received the order about an hour and fifteen minutes after paying. There was so much food! We thought we wouldn't be able to finish it all but we killed it! They put the perfect amount of flavor into their dishes! I was amazing how good it was! No condiments necessary. Tastes better than most "fancy" restaurants I've gone to. This spot has given me a whole new standard of how seafood is suppose to taste like. Oh but make sure to bring your own wet naps because your hands just might get messy! Service! The workers are nice and it seems like they are all friends or family within but I just wish they didn't lie about how long it would take for the food to come out. Also make it clear when asked what they have. Make it simple and say YES or NO. Do not confuse me with explanations please! "Do you have tartar sauce?" "Yes or sorry we do not have tarter sauce." Do not say " Oh we have hot sauce and ketchup if you like and we will be making tartar sauce soon" The food is delicious! It amazed me! Just be honest about the time and what you actually have. Sorry for the rant but I have to make this clear so it does not happen to any of your other hungry customers. Looking forward to coming back here to enjoy the food next time I visit this lovely state!
