Our server was a very sweet lady! The food was average to us because everything seemed under seasoned. The onion rings we had seemed fried without any seasoning. My fiance had the seafood lovers platter. The flounder was pretty good, but there were only 4 shrimps & skittle sized scallops. He also said the shrimp and scallops were bland. The french fries were horrible and drenched in grease. I had the hamburger steak which was okay.

The Old Mill is a great restaurant to relax and have a great meal. They offer daily specials and early bird specials. The prices are fair for the quality of the food.

Everything was just OK. The French onion soup was a huge disappointment. My steak was perfect but the sides were mediocre at best. My husband's seafood platter smelled musky and was more breading than actual fish etc. The atmosphere was like a diner more or less. Our server didn't seem to care about our service. It was just disappointing after hearing all of the hype over the last few years from associates.

The 10 oz ribeye, broccoli and salad or delicious. Steak is very flavorful. Great selection of food as well. We were there on a Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty crowded but we still were able to get seated after about 20 minutes. Great service once seated as

Not so great. Been there three times and no consistency. Had an overpriced fillet that was cooked horribly. Went once before and the salmon was so overdone it was chewy. Service was good, seems clean. Unfortunately not worth the money.

Food was very good. We had chicken alfredo and the grouper po boy. The fries were also very good.
Everything was amazing except for one of the meals in my to go order being incorrect. Unfortunately, I did not fully check everything before leaving. Normally this doesn't happen, though. Excellent food, great atmosphere.

This one is a tough review for me (I would give 2 1/2 stars). I love to find and support local businesses and really had high expectations for The Old Mill. It is a long standing staple in Dothan, Alabama. We were in town for Christmas and got here a day early so we wanted to have a nice meal. We got there at an average time for a Saturday night. We weren't really greeted but since there were only two of us we were sat immediately. There isn't any ambiance and not sure that anything has been updated since 1986. There is a full bar behind the hostess station where you can get drinks while you wait. Our server was the highlight of the evening as she was so pleasant and provided lots of "southern hospitality". She got our drinks quickly and we ordered the Cowboy Bites appetizer. It is a fried combination of sweet corn, jalapeño, cream cheese, and bacon. These were delicious! It had just the right amount of pepper flavor and I could clearly taste all four ingredients. They do ask if you would like some rolls which are homemade yeast rolls. These were ok. The tops were nice and soft but the bottoms were a bit overdone. For our entrees I ordered the 10oz ribeye and crab cake combo with a baked potato and steamed broccoli. My wife ordered the grilled chicken with the same sides. The chicken is topped with Swiss and sautéed mushrooms and onions. She opted for the onions only. Unfortunately, the entrees is where things went downhill. The chicken was not very well seasoned and although cooked well to maintain the moisture it just didn't have much flavor. The sautéed onions were mostly the skin of the onion so that was disappointing. Both of our steamed broccoli sides were steamed well but on the cooler side of lukewarm. My crab cake had some good flavor but the lemon butter sauce was much too salty which was surprising as that shouldn't be the case. My steak was also lukewarm at best although I will give credit that it was cooked a perfect medium and had nice flavor. Amazingly, the best parts of our meals were the cheapest parts which were the baked potatoes. Both were hot and fresh. Our food came out pretty quickly which made the lack of hot / fresh temp more disappointing. Our server did thank us for coming in, welcomed us back and wished us a Merry Christmas. In the end, the food quality definitely did not match the price.

"The Old Mill" has, recently, changed/updated their menu, entirely! Honestly, haven't tried one thing I didn't absolutely Love ! Def, was the right call! Now, one of my favorite restaurants! Especially,love(Blackened/Spiced)Blue Crab Claws,so delicious!! Also, have to credit the staff, they are always so nice, helpful, & patience! In my opinion, has the best, if not one of the top, customer service restaurants' in our area! Not to mention, very quick inside wait service, as well as,to-go service!
