I wish i could leave zero stars. Obviously this place cares more about serving drinks than food. We arrived around 1:45 and couldn't find anyone to serve us in the dining area. The only person working was the bartender. After standing for 15 minutes and not being greeted we left. We'll never return. read more

Our new favorite spot!! Love the saloon atmosphere, the service is always spot on! Huge portions and a great price! Highly recommend giving this place a try!! read more

The food was very good. I think it was a great value. Service was very good. I think I mentioned the last time that they asked if we wanted everything at one time or to space things out...they did that again. A little thing but a lot of places don't give you a choice. Ambiance. It is a small town bar...lounge...restaurant. And a good one. Not too loud, but not quiet. Good food that seems like a good value to me and the staff really seem to care about the customers. The greater Portland area has an abundance of good to great places but this place is high on our list of places to keep in mind to stop in now and then...I actually think it is worth a detour to stop in! read more

We never got to the food. Two waitresses walked right by without even acknowledging us. We asked the third if we should seat ourselves and she said yes but it looks like there are no tables and she walked off. No "I'll be with you in a moment, or it'll be a 30 minute wait or try the tables on the other side of the restaurant (which were open) and I'll get someone to help you". We went to the other side and saw another waitress cleaning a table but she also ignored us so we left and went to the BBQ place. Never experienced anything quite like that where they clearly didn't care if we ate there or not! read more

The food was stone cold and the waitress completely ignored me when I tried to ask about it bring reheated

Love this place. Old Western saloon vibe. Thursday birria taco special was amazing. Don't tell anybody though because I want them all to myself. read more

This was our first time having dinner at Old Mill. We stopped in on a weekday when it was very quiet. There were only 3 other tables seated. Our server was friendly but didn't really seem to know much about the food being served. We asked a few questions about different items but didn't get much feedback. We went with an appetizer of bacon wrapped tots and dinners of a chicken fried steak and a BLT. The tots looked fried well but it was only on the surface. The bacon was raw in the middle and the tots were a little soggy. The chicken fried steak was ok. It wasn't fried long enough so the batter was undercooked. The fries and veggies were good. The BLT was good. Lots of bacon on it. The onion rings, again, weren't fried long enough so the batter was slightly raw on the inside. We left a lot of food on the plates because the raw batters, raw bacon and soggy tots just wasn't appetizing. Since it was just our first time having a full meal here we're not considering this spot a total dud. We'll likely be back to try some other options and I can update then. read more

We eat here all the time. The food is good and they have a little bit of everything. My husband's favorite place in town!

First, I have to say the service was excellent. Our waitress was great! I have to say that this used to be my favorite place in town for chicken strips. Last night we had dinner and my 4 piece chicken strips was terrible! I got eight small over cooked chicken nuggets instead of strips. They were more like chicken jerky than chicken strips more breading than chicken. They advertise hand dipped, but no way. My wife got the enchilada dinner which felt like a microwaved TV dinner. Very sad we won't be going back. I just don't know what's going on with this place. It used to be great. The last time we went, my wife's chicken strips were raw in the middle so it's been a long time and I guess it's not get any better. read more

Cute dinner with great staff. Delicious breakfast for a much needed early morning!!! Definitely will be back

One of our favorite places to eat. Always our food selection is very good. Service is great, servers always friendly and accommodating. The adult beverages are always good. Ambience is fun and happy. read more

it was an absolutely delicious meal, with amazing servers, and such a cool atmospher.

Went back and was pleasantly surprised. Food and service are back to what we had come to expect. Yay!!

Loved the food,staff and environment we ate in the bar. Traveling thru however we will be back when we can.

This is cool place for dine in with nice ambience. Tried their New York steak and it was cooked to perfection and Tortilla Soup is yummy. And my wife tried Bronco burger and felt the patty was little dry. Great service and approachable staff. Also a great place to hang out after a motorcycle ride read more

The food was very bland in general, chicken club sandwich said it would come on a hoagie but came on garlic bread. Chicken strips were not seasoned and neither were the fries! Service was very slow, seemed like the employees didn't care. The ambiance was miserable. read more

Old Mill Saloon - NOT a hoagie. Ew. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Estacada, Oregon

We have visited this place a handful of times on the weekend and have always enjoyed it! (The bar end, not the restaurant end) Friendly and attentive staff, seems to have a lot of regular customers who are kind, good food and good drinks! My boyfriend loves the burgers, they have great fries, good club sandwich. Karaoke on the weekends is a hoot! Good sound level so you can enjoy the singing but also carry a conversation. Love this place! read more

Good eats and good drinks we like to come here for breakfast and for dinners or just cocktail hour

25 minutes in an empty place... never even got seated. I couldn't even sit in the bar... Unfriendly, stuck up atmosphere. Clean restaurant but Mismatch vibes/style. Menu was RIDICULOUSLY priced. Can spend the same amount of money somewhere much nicer OR somewhere cheaper and get enough food! Ended up just leaving without ordering so I don't know how food is. (°°）(ノ益)ノ彡 read more

Old Mill Saloon - Dinning room - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Estacada, Oregon

Small place with friendly staff. Got a big ass burger that was pretty good and the onion rings the best I have had in quite a while. In the winter I imagine this is mostly a local joint but I felt very comfortable there. read more

Sat in the bar with my husband and parents for brunch. The place was pretty packed but the bartender had it under complete control. Food was good and we had a nice time. Food came out promptly and hot. We will be back. read more

Wow, what a cool find. We were driving in the area in off-season. Just wanted some food and had low expectations. This place had bullets for door handles! Food was typical bar fare, but really good! Recommend tots for sure. Nice beer selection. Recommend. read more

I've eaten here before. The service and food have been great. Today our waitress was almost shockingly rude at every encounter. She argued and was disrespectful. My friends and I left without ordering lunch. The Hitchin Post was glad to make up for it with excellent service. read more

This was our first time to the Old Mill Saloon and we were not disappointed. Oh my goodness. They have THE BEST onion rings I have ever had!! None of the lame frozen stuff you often get. They must be hand dipped in magical batter. Sooo, sooo, good. And they serve their salads in metal bowls! Genius!!! I loved having the extra room to actually mix it all up. Why haven't other establishments thought of this? Don't stop doing that. Maybe others will catch on. We also really liked the ambiance and how spacious it is, along with being able to bring my grandchildren if I want. It has plenty of room for families to enjoy a meal and also other adults to enjoy themselves without with the families . There is a definite separation of the two areas, which is fantastic. The service was spot on. Our waitress was very friendly and often checked in on us to make sure we didn't need anything. We kept her busy. :-) At any rate, we loved it and will definitely be back for more! read more

Seriously what a amazing change to this place! Staff is awesome and the food is great! Awesome fire pit outside to hang out! Definitely worth checking out! A+++ read more

It's a nice local place...they need to put the pool tables back I don't go to the bar any more or my friends read more

Update: This business has really bounced back from the food issue, quality and quantity. The service is amazing as always. The food menu has been updated and has some good selections. The atmosphere of the bar is nice as it has always been. The servers are amazing as always. The outdoor seating on the bar side is nice and I expect it to get lots of use this coming winter, nothing beats a nice warm fire when it's cold out. The bartenders and servers are on top of everything like there was no hiccup. Highly recommend coming back here for the food and the amazing drinks and the bartenders amazing personalities and humor. read more

I will start by saying...definitely recommend the prime rib dinner...read on for more... I viewed a couple of recent reviews and paused for a moment before saying "what the heck, let's give it a shot" and I am sure glad I did. Within the last year, we moved to Estacada from Madision WI, a nice larger city but with lots of simple food opportunities, especially Prime Rib on a Saturday night (never of Fridays...that is fish fry day). We have had prime rib at a local sports bar, at a mid level local chain and at high end places, so we have a pretty good idea what is good and what is not. The Old Mill Saloon is definitely GOOD!!! And busy... The cut of meat was great...12 oz (you can get 8 oz or 16 oz too) and maybe even a little more. The crust had a smoky, woodsie flavor, which is also found in the outer meat band. The cut was not too fatty, but enough fat to satisfy those who like that. You get a baked potato...and you can get it loaded for extra cost (sour cream, bacon bits, chives, etc). The meal comes with a soup or salad side...we got one clam chowder and one chicken tortilla soup and both were good. You also get a side of steam vegetables. We got all of this to go...everything was hot and fresh. I was told 20 minutes and it was ready when I arrived. The service was great. I was approached immediately upon entering the building and had my food within 3 minutes of coming in. The one downside was price; it's not the less expensive meal so be prepared for that. Maybe not a weekly visit for the Prime Rib, but definitely monthly! I say give it a try! read more

OMG!!! The birria tacos are the bomb!!!! I have never had those before and they are delicious!! The best tacos I've ever had and my husband said so too! Thank you chef Alfredo!! You are a great cook! We also go the spinach dip and Alfredo's guacamole to go so I will review those later. Stop by definitely to try these tacos! Only on thursdays starting at lunch time! read more

Got some take out chicken, fries, and veggies. Ordered there service was quick..food is wonderful. Will be my go to food place when I'm visiting my mom. Would highly recommend!! read more

We ate here this past Sunday and we used to enjoy eating here food was good service was good but not anymore! The fries tasted like they were cooked in old nasty grease, the fish was mostly breading and they were out of bread ( sourdough) The waitress acted as if we were lucky to have her even come to our table to take our order. She never came to see if everything was okay or ask if we wanted anything else or bring the bill. Awful customer service and the food quality has really gone down Definitely not worth the money or attitude of the staff read more

Food was good. I like the atmosphere. Service was amusing... I'll be back. Plenty of selection on the menu. Looking forward to tasting the mixologist skill. read more

Old Mill Saloon - The burrito. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Estacada, Oregon

What a pleasant surprise this was. Out on a motorcycle ride with some buddies and stumbled across this gem looking for brunch and a warm up. I think we may have been some of the first in but they were right on it. Service was 5-star and the food was completely unexpected. Any time we do these Moto rips out of town I always order the Chicken Fried Steak. Well, let me just say that we will be adding Estacada and especially The Old Mill Saloon to our riding plans from now on. Thanks! read more

Well, we requested a couple of steaks. I wanted a medium-rare steak, and it was overcooked. Then, when I did mention something about it, all I got was an apology. I didn't want a refund or anything like that, but I thought they would have been a little more attentive about it. read more

Have only been here twice but service was good and food was good. Nice menu selections.

Sara's the best! She's good at her job and pays attention to the guests, makes great conversation and always has a great attitude and delivers service with a smile! I highly recommend ***** read more

We stopped here for lunch today and really enjoyed our meals! We started with the colorful and flavorful chips and salsa, then did the club sandwich on sourdough, and a "mini chicken quesadilla" with salad. The quesadilla was fat with chicken and cheese, so good, definitely didn't seem mini! Everything was tasty, service was terrific! read more

Food was delicious, the restaurant was very clean and the service from Alissa and Steve was perfect.

Food was horrible, took 30 minutes, and when I sent it back and told the waitress it wasn't good she said " ya, I didn't think it would be".

Love the atmosphere here. Cozy and relaxed. Great food and yummy adult beverages! Beef Enchiladas and the club sandwich are my favorites!
