It's a decent sized shop where you can either be seated inside or outside if you're planning to dine in. The parking was decent. I got a frozen matcha tea with bubbles.

The bubbles reminded me of grass jelly you could get in your bubble tea order. Overall it was okay, but a ton of cream or thick milk was used so it was really frothy.

Some days it seems that the store is understaffed, and this area is neglected with no staff at all on those days. 3. Bad. Specials for the day are served in a area that seems to be hastily planned. Food is already prepared, and lord knows when it was completed, thus many times it is luke warm and not hot.

Do you ever have a food that you just crave? For me it's wings. I could probably eat wings everyday…read moreand never get sick of them. I like hot wings, bbq wings, and will try most any flavor. My absolute favorites though are the Plum Barbeque Wings at Green Mill. They are so delicious and always hit the spot. I always order them with a side of the sweet potato fries and honey mustard. Green Mill has a great menu with something for everyone. In fact, when we have family up here this is usually the spot we take them. There aren't any Green Mills in Florida so it's new for them. We always get the spinach and artichoke dip. It comes with bread, but they're really good about substituting gluten free items so I always get the corn chips. The cheese curds are also great. My friend loves their Langostino Lobster & Shrimp. I think he orders this every time we go. When my sister came up on her last visit she chose the Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese and raved about it. They also make a fantastic Strawberry Daquiri Of course there's a full drink menu with several other choices, but my sister and I prefer these. What's great about Green Mill is not only can everyone find something they like, it's also nice on the pocket book. Their prices are comparable with competitors like Applebee's and Chili's.

The exterior has that historic charm, and inside it's beautifully updated while still keeping the character of the building. We were seated in a semi-private room overlooking the dam, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The service was fantastic - attentive without being overbearing - and the food absolutely delivered. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, from the smash burger to salmon and rice, shrimp, steak, and even the French onion soup. Everything was spot on. And I have to mention the dirty martini with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives... incredible. Every single person in our group enjoyed their meal, the drinks, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend - this will definitely be our go-to spot the next time we're in town.

This one, which is listed under several monikers ("Seth's Down Under...", etc.) turned out to have excellent food. My husband and I both opted for burgers, for which there were numerous options, some quite unusual. I wasn't bold enough to order the Juicy Lucy with peanut butter, but I did get the one with an overeasy egg cooked into the upper half of the bun. The meat was very tasty and well-seasoned with what appeared to be steak seasoning--cracked black pepper, coriander, probably toasted garlic and onion powder. The burger came with a generous side--a full-sized basket of tater tots, nicely crispy on the outside and enough to share. Fortunately, Wednesdays are "burger nights," during which you can order a burger without a side for a discounted price ($12 rather than $15) and also get a discount on your second drink (not applicable, as I had a soda and my husband had just water). My husband had the Salty Dog burger (sour cream, provolone cheese, chopped green olives) sans side; he said it was good, but "a bit busy." Service was good--friendly, helpful, but attentiveness dwindled toward the end of our meal, resulting in drinks running dry. The ambiance is rather lacking--the floors are cement and the ceilings low, so it is LOUD when there are other people in the restaurant, but it the restaurant also makes no pretense of being anything other than a basement burger/beer joint.
