    The Golden Mill is a fun place to spend an afternoon, especially if you're visiting Golden. The…read moreconcept is great--you get a card that's linked to your credit card, then you can order food and drinks from any of the vendors whenever you want without worrying about separate tabs. There's only about 4 options to choose from. It makes it easy for everyone in your group to get exactly what they want and just hang out. The best part is the location. The outdoor seating overlooks Clear Creek, so you can sit for hours watching people float down the river and enjoy the atmosphere. It's a great spot to relax with friends or family. The only downside is the food. We tried a few different things, and nothing really stood out. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't the reason I'd come back. Overall, I'd return for the atmosphere, drinks, and convenience of the food hall setup--not necessarily for the food itself.

    Golden Mill is unlike anything I've experienced before! The concept is really unique and made for a…read morefun visit. The downstairs outdoor patio is pet friendly, which was perfect for us and Luna. (The upstairs patio is not pet friendly because that's where the sushi bar is located.) The staff does a great job staying on top of clearing dishes and wiping down tables, so everything stayed clean despite how busy it was. When you arrive, they check your ID, stamp your hand to show you're 21+, and give you a card that's used throughout your visit. Every drink and food station scans your card, and drinks are charged by the ounce, so you can pour as little or as much as you'd like. They even have pre-salted glasses ready for margaritas! If you're unsure how the system works, staff members are nearby and happy to help. The food selection is impressive. There are several vendors offering everything from sushi and burgers to mac and cheese, Mexican food, ice cream, and more, so there's something for everyone. We ordered the loaded nachos, which came with chili, cheese, corn, and pico de gallo. They were really good, although I think they would have been even better with a side of guacamole and sour cream. The outdoor seating area has plenty of tables, lots of fans, and covered sections that provide welcome relief from the Colorado sun. The views are another highlight--you can overlook Clear Creek with the mountains in the background, and even see the Coors Brewery from the patio. Overall, it's a fun atmosphere, a very unique experience, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Golden.

There's an outdoor garden with plenty of shade. There's indoor sitting as well if you prefer. The service was excellent! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and let us sample a few beers before we made our selection. We were really in the groove. Enjoying our carefully selected beers, exhausted and hungry, we anxiously awaited our food selection. We decided that we would share a hand tossed, oven fried pizza, ( well that's the image we had in our imaginations). I was already planning on what to drink next, since my first yummy beer was crunching my thirst and hunger at the same time. And then it happened. Our pizza arrived. Right away we could tell it was a frozen pizza, but not the new fancy kinda frozen pizza, you know the ones that are, "not too bad for a frozen pizza", pizza. This was more like, I'm in middle school and, "this is all that's left in the fridge", kinda of frozen pizza. The pizza was so bad that we didn't finish it. The salt and bad sauce ruined the taste of the beers. And my anticipated second beer evaporated into a memory

We stopped in for happy hour, and I was especially excited to see a bourbon/whiskey happy hour option. Definitely a win in my book! We all ordered burgers or sandwiches, and everything was delicious. And if you're a bread pudding fan, the deep-fried bread pudding for dessert was the cherry on top of an already great experience! Great food, good drinks, friendly service, and a comfortable neighborhood-tavern feel. We'll definitely be back!

I said it was the best burger I ever ate. My husband, whose hobbies include crushing joy with logic, said, "No it wasn't. It was an ordinary burger. You only think it's amazing because you almost died." Had to settle that debate, so we tried it without the kill-me-hike warmup this time. Food I don't like my burgers swimming in their own juicy filth. And these burgers are dry, juicy, beefy, and didn't almost drown in their own fat. Even the bun (brioche, I think) stayed dry as summer heat. Plus, their fries are that kind that almost seem battered. Crisp on the outside, potato-y on the inside. We also tried the deviled eggs, which was a nice update to an old classic. Atmosphere This is perfectly casual with outdoor dining (great for dogs). Big umbrellas and coverage from the summer sun. I've never eaten inside because why. Service Perfectly competent. Nobody gave us a pony. Nobody accidentally set us on fire. The food arrived quickly, while the check took its own scenic route through the restaurant. Everyone was friendly. No complaints. Value Expensive burgers at $18-22 each. But I only have burgers a few times a year, so when I do, I'm going to demand one of these from now on.
