Nice small town place! Service could use some improvements on timing/follow through and information but the waitress was a nice person. Food was pretty good Jambalaya fettuccine (3/5) - chicken in it was delicious and they didn't skimp on the meat! Steak with alfredo sauce (3/5) heavy dish and unique but overall pretty good. read more

I went to The Old Mill Pub Restaurant tonight and the service and food was horrible. We were waiting for a friend to join us and waited over 18 minutes waitress never acknowledge are guest she had to go to the bar to get us all drinks cause waitress never came over. Ordered dinner which took forever food was allncold burgers were suppose to be well done came out rare. No ketchup was given to us. My husband ordered onion ring with meal french fries came out instead. Another waitress said she would grab onion rings brought after he was done with his meal. Waitress never checked on is for more drinks. Horrible service and all food served at our table was cold!!! read more

After having attended some events catered by The Mill. I gotta change the score. The items I have had at these functions have been fantastic. And the help that was serving them was very polite and cool. read more

the waitress was nice, the food was tasty, what's not to love? I don't have anything to say about the ambiance, because I was too busy scarfing down my food. read more

I started coming here about 7 years ago off of a friend's recommendation. This is my go-to restaurant in the area, and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. Everything I've ever ordered has been good. The kitchen is really good, and the staff are awesome. Never had a bad server either! I definitely recommend the pulled pork nachos, and I am partial to their chicken parm and burgers- but honestly, everything I've tried has been great. Took my family of 14 for Christmas 2022, and they set us up with a private room. Service was good- food was awesome. Everyone had a great time! Deck is nice in the summer- bar is nice any time! read more

I'm surprised to see The Mill has such a high rating as most people in the area that I know don't come here due to the fact the food sucks. Its a mixed crowd who likes to drink and play Keno for the most part. It's generally a busy place. I can see coming here for drinks, but not the food. Also, the atmosphere isn't that great. read more

Yuck so pretty location food was really poor Have tried many times and a great place for a drink outside on a nice day read more

Thanks to Jen and Yelp for organizing catering from The Mill Restaurant. We got to try some bbq chicken wings, deep fried mac and cheese bites, steak and cheese egg roll and bruschetta. Everything tasted delicious and portions were generous. read more

Food was great! The bread/ sweet rolls are always amazing. Great ambiance sitting outside with the water and the birds. I can't believe I don't go there more often read more

Just wow, no words but those for how awesome this spot is! My cousin and I came here for dinner on Saturday night and enjoyed not only the food, but the service and entertainment as well. They had a live band playing pop hits from the 70s until now. Both male and female singers were amazing--their voices were powerful and soothing. It complimented the entire environment and made it easy to just sit around, listen, and have a drink. And this is just what my cousin and I did. We ordered a sangria and a martini. My red sangria was amazing and it filled with chunks of fruit! The waitress also gave me a little extra. Speaking of our waitress, she was so friendly and was able to recommend several items on the menu. I ended up ordering the nachos to share with my cousin. The nachos were very large and covered with three types of sprinkled chesses, chunks of tomatoes, chili with beans, jalapenos, and sour cream on the side. I am so glad that my cousin and I split the nachos, there is no way that I could have finished it by myself! Overall the mill is a cool and laid back local spot. I definitely will be back as the atmospheric, food, and service were exceptional and it made me want to come back! read more

Excellent food in a friendly, relaxed setting. Toni worked with us to create a wonderful dinner for extended family! read more

Just a plain no frills place to catch a bite. Have had take out also and was what it said it was. Consistency is a plus.

We love the Penne Alla Vodka so much, that we bought two family style half pans just so we would have left overs for a couple days! We've been going here since they opened and we've know the owner since before he opened the restaurant. The Mill is just an excellent place to grab some bbq, pasta, or a burger and wings. All the food is good and we're glad to see they're staying busy. read more

I had a very yummy meal at the Mill for the first time this week. I had a pulled pork salad and it was amazing! It had a large menu that all looked delicious. It has a pub like comfort and we had a wonderful server too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back! read more

Kind of a dark and quiet little place. Seemed to be the place for a drink when you are hiding from someone and want to play Keno. I had a Superfood wrap which is really Jack Fruit and a side salad. Their blue cheese is house made and awesome. The sweet potato fries were also pretty good. The wrap was just ok. Friendly bartender who was very attentive. I'd recommend it more as a "it's easy" option. read more

I had never been to the restaurant before last night, so I took my wife (for her birthday) and 9 other family members ranging from 1 year to 77 years old. What a wonderful surprise we were in for. Easy access, easy parking, a very neat and clean facility. The welcoming staff were very welcoming and friendly, and our server - Erin - was simply out of this world. Friendly, huge smile, organized, and completely able to handle our motley crew. No person in our party was missed, no meal was incorrect, and if she had more coming out than she could carry she had other staff ready to go. Unlike most places, the food was fresh and very hot. She kept checking us all night long like we were the owners and has a great sense of humor. Erin and The Mill are both 5 star, and we will certainly be back many more times. Thank you so much. read more

Good for groups. Came for lunch on a weekday and The Mill was very accommodating with our big group. Their bread is **amazing**. I had to stop myself from eating all of it. Clam chowder was tasty. Shrimp scampi was pretty good. Sauce was creamy and shrimp was cooked perfectly. I had leftovers to take home. Friendly and attentive service! read more

The food was surprisingly good. Staff was great. Easy to get to. Interior was a little tired - spring broken in booth. Good value.

The service was terrible. Waitress was not attentive at all. I got the spaghetti and meatballs, the sauce was okay but the meatballs were hard. My boyfriend got a bacon cheese burger, they forgot the bacon and by the time the brought it out the burger was cold. i would not return read more

Only my second time here but the food so far is delicious. I've had a few of their salads which taste very fresh and their minestrone soup is excellent. I recommend trying the spinach dip that's my favorite starter! read more

Always loved The Mill 185. Never had a bad meal or bad service. This time was a bit different. My clam chowder arrived lukewarm. Even though I opted to eat it anyway, and finished half of it, the waitress took it back and brought me a new steaming cup, which was delicious. My salmon main dish arrived and the garlic mashed potatoes were stone cold. Seems as though anything cooked in bulk tonight had a problem staying hot. We tracked down staff who immediately brought me a large platter of mashed potatoes - enough to feed a family of four! We were also offered a free dessert which we chose the Creme Brûlée. I have had this here in the past and it was better than I had eaten elsewhere. This time it was extra firm and dry, not creamy like it should be. I showed Leeann, the waitress, who agreed it didn't look like what she had eaten here herself. She said she would share what I left in the dish with the chef. Even with the food issues, I am scoring this experience a 5. 50% of a meal is the service, and the service that we had tonight was probably in my top 2%. I will definitely be back again. And I hope Leeann is my server, as she was awesome! read more

Previously, the main reason The Mill didn't get 5 stars, was because it was in West Boylston, and well... West Boylston is not a standard bearer for good restaurants. Great school system. Top notch utility companies. Cuisine? enh... Well, I've been frequenting The Mill and am now confident that you could drop this restaurant anywhere, and it would be a hit. It has the main ingredients of any good restaurant nailed. Great, friendly, professional staff, and tasty, filling, food at a good value. The menu boasts, and -nails- Italian-American Comfort Food. I've sampled most of the menu at one time or another, and have yet to have a complaint. Pastas? Great. Salads? Huge, and also great. Comfort food? ala, meatloaf, shepard's pie, and the like... all great. I specialize in the burgers, and the wings, as I tend to go here during football or hockey games. The burger is big without being obscene. I would guess they use a mix of 93/7 and 85/15 ground beef, but that's just a guess. I'll ask and update next time. It's flavorful without being messy, well contained in the bun, and the various interpretations are all solid. I would say that the menu could use a chili burger, but here is the great thing about The Mill. If I asked for a chili burger, I would get a chili burger. The restaurant is run by actual humans! Like, ones that want you to be happy with what you eat. They listen, and if possible, accomodate your request. Novel concept these days at some places. EDIT: I actually did ask for a chili burger on a recent trip just to make sure I wasn't making stuff up and the response was, and I quote, "Absolutely! That sounds delicious! How do you want that cooked?" Boy do I like this place. On to useful information: 4p-6p bar menu. Yum. ATM in the back. Clean restrooms. 25 cent wings on Sun/Mon (I feel bad when I'm at the bar for almost 2 hours, ordered three times, and still have a tab under 20 bucks) Keno. Oh Keno. How I loathe you. I want my money back. Go, and sit around, near, or at the bar if you don't have kids. Wrangling the midgets is easier in one of the satellite rooms though. read more

My husband and I have been here twice. Smoked salmon caesar salad, cheeseburger/fries & the sunday special smoked turkey dinner were all pretty good. If you like salads, you will enjoy their selection. The turkey was simply awesome. We have been waiting for a long time for a local restaurant to serve good, quality food & it appears to be here. We hope that it will last. One note: there was a strong odor, almost like carpet cleaner, when we first visited Memorial day weekend but it wasn't there last night when we revisited. We'll be back for sure. Good luck! read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The ambiance the service food all of it was amazing!! 10 out of 10 will return

Sigh. Mediocre. Avoid. Details? Very well. Order included a boneless BBQ tenders, mushroom Swiss burger, a patty melt, and spaghetti and meatballs. The patties appeared to have been the pre formed variety as their taste was bland their shape perfect. They even signed up around their square edges like a mass produced patty does. The opportunity to add flavor with the toppings was a dream left sadly unrealized. The provided fries were lacking any GBD, being undercooked and completely devoid of an seasoning. Some how, the tenders escaped the aforementioned villainy but only to remain basic. No need to return. Particularly given the price tag. read more

Despite my "dating a boy in WeBo" and my having been here several times, I've never been here with said boy. Weird, but whatevs. Sandwiches are solid. Apps are solid. Fries are delicious. Service is always spot on. One time I was stuck on a special diet and they had no problem chopping up some tomatoes for me as, like, my meal, and charges me just a buck or two. Thank god that was just once though, because that meatloaf sandwich is something else. read more

The food here is great and the environment is very friendly, you can even play Keno here. The last time I went I had this excellent ravioli dish with chicken and for the kids spaghetti and meatballs. They took my coupon without a problem. The service was great. Nice menu variety and fast service read more

Dec 2011 After 6 months, I decide to give this restaurant a 2nd review. Indeed, like all restaurants, this place does have ups and downs. Some dishes may be better than others. But at least, most dishes are great. Furthermore, the service team definitely deserves 5 stars. And if you have the slightest unsatisfaction about anything, ask for the manager Tony. I GUARANTEE you that he'll help you out. The Mill CARES about customers. If you are skeptical in mind and want to know what's good to order before going, please read the following. I would like to first talk about the desserts, for they are truly incredible for their prices: (1)Creme Brulee - perhaps the CHEAPEST BUT MOST DELICIOUS Creme Brulee I've ever had. It's the ULTRA THIN CRISPY CARAMEL that counts (SEE UPLOADED PICTURE. I AM NOT LYING)!!! Inside is smooth, rich sweet cream with good egg flavors. (2)Chocolate Cake - this is for those who wants more chocolate than cake, especially RICH & THICK chocolate. Then you'll love this! (3)Cinnamon Apple Fried Dough with Ice-Cream - enough said. Currently, I would highly recommend the following entrees: (1) Lasagna - not your everyday lasagna - American BBQ infused Italian lasagna. My 1st impression was "BIG", 2nd impression "It smells like good BBQ", the taste is what a good American Lasagna should be - lightly burnt cheesy top with generous and creamy meaty layers between pasta - truly a delightful Americanized-Italian dish. (2) Porcini Mushrooms Ravioli - nice Al Dente!!! Every bite is chewy and flavorful, and wonderful mushroom cream aromas, (3) Apple Chutney Pork Chops - I was afraid it'd be tough and dry, but on the contrary, it was perfectly done - thoroughly cooked but still tender, the apple and cinnamon really gave it some good fruitiness and acidity, nice finishing touch. (4) Smoked Prime Rib - Sold out every Wed - get it if you have the chance - enough said. (5) All burgers are awesome - tender and juicy. These days, I still enjoy the Mussels in Bianco Sauce and Fried Mozzarella (tablets) a lot when I want a smaller bite than an entree. The Penne Vodka is also done RIGHT. I now rate The Mill for 5 stars NOT because every item on the menu is perfected (It still has much room for improvement). But because of the low price and quality food they provide in general, and because of the outstanding service. read more

4 solid stars for food and our waitress Sarah. There is absolutely ZERO ambiance in the dining area so if you're looking for that then go elsewhere. Its horrible actually. The food was good -not exceptional but very good and all in my party of 7 would go back. We would try the lounge next time as it seems a better feel. All of us had a different meal and they all were good. Jambalaya, Marsala, penne vodka, veggie burger, steak tip salad, patty melt, open faced meatloaf sandwich - all were really good solid options. read more

I wanted to like this restaurant especially with a menu that has a focus on comfort food. However the restaurant itself had very dim lighting, the food was mediocre and the drive into W. Boylston (although it's a short drive) just wasn't worth it for me to come back. -Mussels were nothing to rave about -Sweet potato fries were quite oily -Salmon was dry -Waitress was awesome! Probably the best experience was having such a pleasant waitress read more

Took the father-in-law here based on a co-workers recommendation. It was kids eat free night, and free food is always appealing... Walked in to the Howard Johnson-turned-restaurant (nice try, I see through it) & we were the only patrons. Granted it was early, about 5:15. Still made me nervous. Usually kids eat free night draws families such as ours (cheap ones). Nice menu, choices for all. Our food was pretty decent, no complaints. But during our time at The Mill, I just couldn't get past the swanky lounge feel. It didn't help that they were playing cheesy music from the 80's & 90's. "Some Like It Hot" by Robert Palmer & "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown may make some feel right at home at Howard John... Errr...The Mill, but not me. Oh, and this thrifty patron DID notice we were charged for the kids meal. Thanks for the prompt attention to correcting it. read more

Yuck. Only come here if you're 45+ and love shitty food. The only reason this place gets good reviews is because it's a boomer watering hole. The food was absolutely disgusting. Chicken piccata was super bland and really gross. Meatloaf sandwich was so much worse. Also smells horrible, like stale tobacco, lottery tickets, and broken dreams. I've come here twice and boy, did I wish I hadn't. They push the beers to cloud your palette and force the "drunchies" so that their slimy shit slides down your gullet. I have pretty low standards, but this place? Genuinely the worst restaurant I've been too. read more

Always very good!! Good food, nice seeing the ducks in the pond! Always a hit with kids!

This is a pub-like restaurant with an enormous menu. The staff is super friendly and the service is super fast. I ordered the clam chowder, pulled pork dinner and strawberry shortcake. The chowder was hot and thick and just a touch salty. The pulled pork was flavorful, but a little dry. The cole slaw was good but the beans lacked flavor. The strawberry shortcake was the star of this meal. It was a Large portion and both my date and I ate every bite. I also orders a white sangria and really enjoyed it. My date got the meatloaf, but unfortunately did not like it. I tried it and didn't enjoy it either. The flavor was unusual and had a strange consistency. The menu is large-- something for everyone-- the service is quick and friendly and the prices are really reasonable. We will try this place again in the hopes of having better luck. read more

This place is way beyond the typical areas Run-of-the-"MILL" Restaurant and would have garnered five stars but for the unclean table we sat at and the elevated noise level. To be fair, however, it was a large birthday party of Greek patrons that seemed to have taxed the system. Yet even through all that the staff graced the establishment with friendly great service and eats. Pauli, our server, was fast, friendly, and very efficient. Even the kitchen, quick with the meals, was beyond belief. Our meals were out within 10 minutes of the ordering and they were way out-of-this-world (meaning quality way beyond what you would expect in this greater Worcester area)! Smoked salmon with garlic-mashed potatoes and asparagus: YUM! And the steak tips melted in the mouth! WOW! And to add to the experience: the "rich and famous" have been known to stop in from time to time to dine and drink. We were graced with the presence of famous author Bezalel sitting right there dining along with the rest of us riff-raff. Double WOW! Definitely will stop at this Mill Restaurant again. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a nice night out on the patio at The Mill. It is the perfect place for outdoor dining in the summer - there aren't enough outdoor eating areas in this part of town! We enjoyed a drink or two and watched the sun go down. The patio is well-lit when it's dark, as well. We ordered the Smokehouse Lasagna at the recommendation of several other reviewers - it was absolutely heavenly. There is something very unique about the smoky flavor. It's not your typical Italian lasagna, but it doesn't actually taste like BBQ, either - it's the perfect combination. We also ordered the Bistecca Pasta with gorgonzola sauce, and it was wonderful as well. We finished our meal with the apple dough dessert. It was a bit rich after all of the pasta for dinner, but the flavorful apple topping and cinnamon balanced out the greasiness of the dough well. Definitely happy we made room for it. The service was very good as well - our waitress was attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

Haven't been here for years but figured we'd stop by for lunch while running errands with my wife. The food and service were great. The atmosphere was nice....soft lighting, plenty of TVS and not noisy. My only complaint was the strange odor that hit you in the face when you walked in. Not sure if it was dirty bathrooms or what, we couldn't place it. After a while though we seemed to notice less. We will try it again though because the food was that good. read more
