    Unassuming yet quite delightful is how I'd describe this place. The menu may not look overtly impressive, but the food was well cooked and most enjoyable. Within easy walking distance of the Iron Amethyst Inn, this was an ideal location to relax and eat well cooked fair that pleased the palette and soothed the soul. We were served on both nights by Aliyah who made us feel very welcome with her prompt service and happy demeanor. The prices felt reasonable and at no time did we feel anything except happy we'd picked the Inn to eat at. If you're in the area I feel you can't go far wrong eating here. And after you've eaten, the gift shop beckons!

    The food is pretty good it has some good flavors but the bread that they give you is really bland. The food portions are also pretty small. The service is ok. Some of the waiters seem like they hate their job. Some seem really joyful, but there's this one waiter who doesn't even know the menu, and she just didn't ask if I wanted a drink. She also forgot that my meal gets a salad. The atmosphere is very old fashion and has a pretty good vibe. The chicken was really dry and there was a giant hair in my pasta!!!

    I can't speak for the food because we stopped by for a drink on the way to dinner and the door was open not known that they don't open for an hour and a half. They were nice to let us come in and order drinks while they were closed. The place is an old mill with a history of a great steam train wreck in front of the place. The place is old and intact with the wood floors, ceilings and part of the pulley system in the roof. I don't know when it was converted to bar, restaurant and gift shop but it still has nice charm with all the antiques and props of an old mill. We had all old fashions which we all agreed were average but it was a nice atmosphere.

    This place is a gem, the building is full of history and feels cozy, the menu isn't extensive but it has enough so you're not snoozing at the APT, we shared an appetizer (pecan crusted Brie) and it was delicious and perfectly sized for 2 people, for the main course we got peppercorn sirloin steak for me and lemon caper chicken piccata for my date, both were cooked to perfection and were paired with a yummy corn & clam bisque, our server was nice but we felt like it was her first week there, I'd have given the place if they weren't out of every drink I asked for, all in all it's an amazing place.

    The banquet was amazing. The food was superb and the desserts was hands down the best. I really enjoyed the mushroom schnitzel and the bacon and sausage links. So yes the service was really nice and they love to be social and friendly. It's just an pleasant and calm atmosphere that I would recommend going to this if you're in the Madison Area. A must visit. Plus a cute store and amazing post cards too.

    Ham & Swiss with dijon sauce, side of the harvest salad

    Came here for lunch the Saturday before Easter. I'm not sure if it was the weather or the fact that people were saving their appetites for Easter, but there was only one other table in the entire restaurant at 12:30p. I expected a bit more decor in the dining portion of the restaurant - the walls were pretty much bare outside of a couple of quilts. All of the tables and chairs were antique and sort-of mismatched. The gift shop was really cute, as was the upstairs. They had it all set up for Easter brunch, over 500 people reserved is what our waitress told us, and it looked really nice. Our waitress was lovely; took the time to offer us some historical info about the building as well as a dinner menu. She was quick to get us drinks and take our orders. She checked in on us often as well. I had the special; ham and swiss with a dijon sauce on rye bread. I opted for the harvest salad as my side and was very happy I did. I'm not completely sure of what was in it but it was a perfect blend of ingredients, all tossed in balsamic vinaigrette. Very fresh. The rest of our party had clam chowder, the turkey and cranberry sandwich, and stuffed grilled cheese. There were no leftovers, everyone loved what they ordered. Both the ham and turkey sandwiches had a very generous portion of thinly sliced meat. I heard the fries were a little on the soggy side but that didn't stop them from eating them. The prices were very fair considering the portion size. I can't wait to come back for dinner sometime.

    The Mushroom Strudel might look like a mess, but it's on the top of my list of favorite dinners... yum!

    Even though The Old Feed Mill is 2 hours from my house, my wife and I always head to the restaurant when we're remotely close to Mazomanie. We go there specifically for one delicious dish: the mushroom strudel. YUM! Quite frankly, the mushroom strudel doesn't sound that good on paper and it doesn't actually look all that good, but it is heavenly. On our last visit, my wife dared to venture a bit on the menu and ordered the chicken pot pie (under the promise that I'd share my mushroom strudel with her.) The pot pie was also wonderful and arrived in a tasty bread bowl that was a treat in itself. I finished off dinner with a chocolate torte cake that arrived with ice cream and whip cream and was easily big enough for two. The old mill has wonderful ambiance because it's in an actual old mill (duh!) as opposed to a new building with old decorations. As a railroad fan, it doesn't hurt that the restaurant is right next to railroad tracks, but unfortunately the tracks aren't used much so I haven't seen a train while dining. As it was fall with our last visit, the restaurant was tastefully decorated with harvest decorations which is way better than all the gory, death-themed decorations that most restaurants decorate with near Halloween. Aside from the top-notch food and ambiance, the staff is always super friendly and we almost always end-up staying late just to talk to them. In a way, I'm glad The Old Feed Mill isn't closer to my home because I'd end-up eating there every week!

    Great food. Good portions.

    Pretentious, nasty old lady with condescending attitude. Have been there in a long time, overpriced and unimaginative.

    We continue to love this place for Friday fish fries. Four of us showed up at 5 pm. One ordered…read moredeep fried cod with baked potato and slaw. Two ordered perch which were cooked perfectly. Servings were very very generous. One person ordered blue gill and smiled the whole meal. Baked potatoes were pretty standard, but the cole slaw was excellent. Meals came with a roll and butter. As I've said before, this is the best fish fry in the region. Highly recommend without any reservations. Try it, but go early. Sometimes it's very busy.

    The food was really, REALLY good. I have to say that I was surprised. The french fries were the…read morebest I've had in a long time. My crispy chicken sandwich was perfectly cooked and was bursting with flavor. The bartender was really sweet, too. Even though the place was jammed, she was friendly and attentive. We sat outside, which has a beautiful view of the countryside, a lush rolling hill to the south. The ambiance outside was relaxing. Inside was another story, but that's because someone had organized a BINGO... Is it a game? A BINGO game? I'd definitely go back. (Quick note on the pandemic: Management doesn't require masks. I'm not entirely on board with that, but I noticed that was the norm in this part of Wisconsin. If you're like me and have already recovered from COVID, you're okay here; if you're worried about getting the disease or being a carrier, your best bet would be to avoid this place.)
