The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.

I've tried a few other cocktails, but I always come back to this one--it never disappoints. The staff is always so friendly and helpful--great service every visit. Yes, parking can be a little tight, but that's part of the charm and uniqueness of Big Mill and its history. We've had a couple of visits where the crust tasted slightly like old butter, but it's only happened a few times and definitely hasn't stopped us from going back. Great pizza, great burgers, strong drinks, and consistently friendly service--we'll keep coming back.

Meh. I've been here several times and have been under impressed each time. The seating in this…read moresmall restaurant is bench style which is not always comfortable for all. The food is good but it's not GREAT. I think the prices are a bit high for what you get. To me, this is a restaurant that is trying to be fancy but can't pull it off. Parking is a crap shoot, at best. The parking lot is super small. The restaurant is easy to access for those with mobility concerns. There will be those who disagree with me but there isn't anything outstanding about this establishment. Every time I have been here, the service has been lacking. Everyone is friendly enough but they have problems getting my take out orders correct. I usually get a burger to go. Oh, yeah... fries are extra. If I'm paying $14 for a cheeseburger, you would think fries would be included. Not here. Bottom line... it's not bad but there are other, better restaurants in town.

She earned an A+ and her tip reflected that. That said, my friend and I were both extremely upset about the lack of options for lunch. Everything on the menu was brunch and the options for that were not great. It took us quite a while to finally decide on what we would have. I had the quiche Lorraine with sweet potato fries and a salad. The sweet potato fries were OK, but the quiche was cold and I ended up eating less than half of my food. My friend ordered the blue crab benny which came with home fries. Her potatoes were cold and she also ate less than half her food because she said she didn't like it. I will accept blame for not realizing J Wilson doesn't serve lunch on weekends, but the quality of the food is on them. When I come to Lawrence, it's almost always on a Saturday, so I will not be having lunch at J Wilson's again.

It's always consistently solid and homey, the food and the ingredients are so fresh and you can really appreciate the local farm-to-table taste. Believe it or not my favorite thing here is just a slice of their in house sourdough made with their fresh strawberry jam AND whipped butter. This combination is so nostalgic and if you haven't tried a bite with all of these mixed together you are missing out. Their biscuits are not anything crazy, on the dryer crumbly side - but the gravy is sooooo savory and good it makes up for it. On the weekends they have a mushroom gravy and that's a lot lighter if you think the regular gravy is too rich! Free parking in the parking garage behind the restaurant!

I can only comment on food quality since I ordered this as delivery. I ordered two fish tacos and…read morewere amazed to find that the fish was chopped up into tiny pieces, not one whole piece of fillet like a usual taco... that was the first sign. But then I bit into it and it was oddly soggy, separating from the breading, and then I knew it - this place is chopping up fish sticks and serving them as fish tacos for $3.00+ apiece. I'm spoiled because I'm from Los Angeles, but come on! Literal fish sticks! I also ordered the chilaquiles and was surprised to find them in a plastic storage container that most establishments put soup in. Chilaquiles are normally crunchy, freshly fried and then tossed in salsa - the tortillas instead came absolutely drenched and soggy in a very salty consommé with the salsa on the side. I mean, this was delivery, so slightly soggy chilaquiles are to be expected, but I almost don't know if they accidentally gave me a tortilla soup instead of chilaquiles.

Reduced cream as the base, gruyere, mozzarella, crushed pistachios and some lemon zest and herb oil on top. Unique, light, and delicious.

It adds a really playful, seasonal touch without feeling overdone. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic--super friendly, attentive without hovering, and offered great suggestions that we actually ended up loving. Tip: Get a basket of French fries for the table! Overall, it's one of those spots that works for just about anything--family outings, catching a game, bigger group gatherings, or even a more low-key, intimate meal. Great atmosphere, great service, and a place we'll definitely be back to.
