    Hello River Jack Tavern! We love this gem we love the atmosphere and the food is phenomenal! The owner slings drinks like a pro and kitchen staff are rocking it! I recommend the Buffalo dip and steak tips! Everything is homemade.. even the salad dressings. Just a great place to stop in and get happy. Can't wait to sit on the deck this summer!

    Terrific ambiance by the water and attentive service. Food was great too. The view of the river is why we came.

    Hidden pub in the hikers hostel is worth seeking out. Inside is a nice tiny bar but the waterfront…read moreback yard is where it's at! Fast friendly waitstaff. Ok draft beer selection. Canned music a bit mundane. Menu a bit better than the usual bar and nice $25 lobster roll with salad substitute for fries! Not much in Monson so glad it's here.

    I would love to give this place a 5 - really would. Lots of reasons for 5 stars, like the food,…read morefriendly waitstaff, camp like ambiance. The only thing holding me back is the crazy wait time on a not so busy Sunday, for the food to be served. Like over an hour wait time for a sandwich and fried fish special. But I digress...on to the good! The fried fish was outstanding! There was a very large amount of flaky fresh haddock that had the perfect coating and was not greasy at all. I would say - some of the best I've had! I opted for the side salad instead of the fries. I'll not make that mistake again. Don't get me wrong, the salad was fresh and very nice...but those fries that came with the Reuben were excellent! I'm not sure, maybe hand cut? They had a great seasoning on them and were so crispy with a soft center. If they are from frozen- I want the company name to figure out where to get some for myself! My husband enjoyed his Reuben as well. Oh, and bonus was that they had my favorite hard cider - freedom's edge, sweet mulled, as well WHICH they served in a chilled glass. Love it! We will definitely be back, but not when we're super hungry or in a hurry to get either upta camp or home. I get things run slower in that neck of the woods, but moving things along in the kitchen a little faster would do wonders for those passing through!

    Ambience: A neat place next to the damn and waterfalls, with an outside deck overlooking the…read moreriver. Inside is neat as well. Truly was an old mill at one time Service: Waitress was pleasant and quick with taking the order and getting our drinks. We were the only ones upstairs and only few folks at the bar below. Food took longer than expected to arrive but not terribly long. Food: I had the Rodeo Burger. Just a BBQ Bacon Burger wasn't bad, wasn't marvelous. My wife had the fish n chips and didn't like the breading, one daughter had the Fiesta Chicken which was amazing, the other had simple chicken fingers but it was a generous portion. Price: A little much but not horrible. However, what is well beyond ridiculous is the $4 cost for fountain soda. Unacceptable!!!

    It has been a couple of years since we came to Old Mill Pub, but a couple we were meeting for lunch…read morewanted to go there. This time we sat outside, which was great on this warm day. We were served by Kristin, who was friendly and efficient. We waited a few minutes to order drinks, but only a few. I went with a flight of four draft beers, and only really liked the Guinness, so I also ordered one of those. Last time there I had ordered a burger and fries, but it didn't dazzle, so this time I went with the Reuben sandwich and up-charged onion rings. it was tasty, no complaint here. Now, it was an expensive pub grub lunch: with a drink each it was $60 between us, but we knew that going in and the outdoor seating and good service helped us not regret the expense
