“We bought the RoadHouse Bowl and The Alfredo Pasta Bowl and it was honestly the best place I've been to in a long time. We came here by accident, this was a last minute choice and I am so glad our first one fell through. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and kind. It's been a long time since I've seen such GENUINE customer service. It's a fast food under rated atmosphere, with the food quality close to fine dining. The food came out in less than five minutes. We will definitely be coming back, even though we live forty miles away I will not hesitate to pass up a chance to come dine here again. Wow!“

We were seated promptly, had drinks served within minutes. Order placed and our server was FANTASTIC!! She said she’s worked there for 17 years, that speaks volumes about management. Our meals (spaghetti and all you can eat catfish) were delicious!“

“In a city not known for culinary excellence, the Gin Mill is the exception. Had a delightful pork chop dinner recently. The decor with its high ceilings and beautiful bar is way above average. Slight complaint was caesar salad dressing was rather excessive and mediocre. Service was attentive, perhaps a little too much so. Given the local alternatives, I would go back in a minute.“

“We took our daughter and grandson here a couple weeks ago for an early dinner and our server was amazing and very friendly. My daughter and I both had the taco salad that was on special and it was so big we could have shared one and still had left overs. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and white gravy. The tenderloin was as large as the plate. The gravy however was not a white gravy but instead sausage gravy. I’m not a chef but I do know the difference between white gravy and sausage gravy. Who wants sausage in their mashed potatoes that’s served with pork tenderloin? Lol.They have their regulars who sit either at the counter or share a large table and I’m sure talk for a hour or so daily, that tells me the rest of the food must be decent. I was not impressed with paying almost $60 for three adult meals and a child’s meal but nowadays it’s to be expected I guess.If you haven’t tried them I suggest you go and see what you think. Very clean tables and floors.Parking: Handicap parking available and plenty of other spotsKid-friendliness: Nice child menu selection, high chairs available if needed, lids for drinks when requested.“

The bartender was friendly, and she smiled a lot, and even though it was a busy Friday night, she did a great job of making us feel welcome! The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. It was a good vibe! I saw families enjoying dinner options, groups of people enjoying after work drinks, customers picking up take out orders. I highly recommend visiting .“

“If you like Fried Fish...I recommend the Fish Dinner (served on Fridays)...the fish, I believe is cod and very flaky...the Corn Meal crust is to 'die for'....because it is crunchy and flavorful. It is not soggy like some places I visit...and the recipe? a 75-year old (family secret) recipe.“

“Very welcoming atmosphere as soon as we walked in. Our sitting accommodations were met quickly. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks on the menu. Usually, water is the only beverage I prefer, but the Cherry lemonade is a hit! The meal in the picture is lightly seasoned broccli, baked sweet potato with a marshmallow on top, followed by a seasoned to perfection, fried chicken breast. The second meal was fried catfish, fresh green beans, and delicious potatoes! I had heard terrible things about this establishment and didn't experience any of the bad things I've heard. I will be back to try other dishes and recommend this establishment during lunchtime.“
