Nothing but positive things to say about this place.Five of us went on a Tuesday night. They sat us outside, as requested. Turned on the heaters for us, as requested. The waiter came by frequently to check on us. He was patient, informed, helpful, friendly, polite, and professional.We ordered the chorizo nachos as an appetizer. Super yummy. Big enough for the 5 of us to share.I ordered the wings for r dinner as that was the special of the night and they were 1/2 of ($7). My brother and sister split the “Night Moves” pizza. My other sister got the kale and beets salad. My other sister got the fish and chips.I loved the wings. But I could only eat 4 after gorging myself on nachos. I took home the other 6 wings.My brother and sister had 2 slices of pizza leftover.My sister loved the salad and finished all of it.My other sister loved the fish and chips and we all tried them. The sauce is kind of sweet, but also has a lemony taste. She had leftovers and took it home.We really enjoyed ourselves. The heaters kept us very comfortable so we could all take off our coats outside after a while.The bill was very reasonable. I would definitely return.

Firstly, kudos to our nice waiter. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend the Mill Burger. This was really good and needed to additions. I suggest skipping fries and trying their Dill Slaw ----- omg. YUM. I could easily eat a bowl of this. My friend got the blackened chicken sandwich which she really enjoyed. She had an IPA that tasted like a summer Shandy which was lovely and I had the Black Widow cider. Hands down a really good meal. Now comes my disappointment and suggestions; so this note is for a manager or whoever does the menu. Your dessert menu is lack-luster. Like, really sad. For starters, the Pot de Creme was nice, love the orange zest on top. But $9 for the size you get, you have to be kidding me. At the very least, have it be the size of a coffee mug. Serving me a child size dollop of pudding that comes in a baby food jar isn't cool. We also tried the Ricotta Doughnuts... this is a hard pass. Yet again, $9 for something that isn't satisfying. You serve 6 balls with no powdered sugar and a 2 tablespoon size sauce that does nothing for this "dessert". My suggestion is ditch that old lady jam and add hot fudge instead. A side of vanilla ice cream would make it worth it. You can even remove 3 of the balls to make it decent. The doughnuts are dry, like zero moisture. It desperately needed some type of filling. So, after having an AMAZING meal, we ended the evening with these MEH desserts. Bummer. I give the place an overall 3.6 grading. Sadly, Google doesn't do half stars. It's not worthy of a 4 star rate but it is above the 3 mark. Would I return? Totally. But I'm skipping dessert.
Great pizza, great service, great atmosphere! Definitely will return!

I have to give Big Mill 5 stars for their meatballs alone, they are fantastic! They are so good I returned several nights in a row just for them. The broccoli, on the other hand, misses the mark, and I recommend you skip the kale salad entirely. I'm sure I will return for more meatballs and to try other dishes.Service varied depending on who the waitress was and dining in versus take out.The restaurant has a bar area and a dining area and both are good depending on what mood you're in.

Wasn’t really impressed. I expected a larger selection of pizza and appetizers. A six slice pizza was 30 bucks and was lukewarm warm. Don’t feel we got our $$ worth ! We’re one and done.

I absolutely love this place. I drive to Lawrence from Overland Park to have lunch there with a college friend who lives in Topeka. I know there are other great restaurants in Lawrence, but the Big Mill's unique Detroit-style pizza is addictive. The owner shared that it takes a special oven to get the focaccia-style pizza to come out right. Hopefully, the owner will open a restaurant in Johnson County.Today we split a cheese steak sandwich and the Night Moves pizza. The red sauce on the pizza is tangy and bright. Service is always great and today was no exception. Satori did a great job while also sharing author recommendations.The cocktails were great. I had the classic Horsefeather (rye, ginger beer, lemon, bitters). They have a good selection of rye whiskeys. My college buddy had the Garden Face Plant, a smoky margarita (strawberry-infused tequila, basil, Serrano and lime).Dessert was the dark chocolate Pot de Créme with whipped cream and orange zest. It's a rare treat!We met the owner as we left. He was addressing some minor maintenance that I'm sure is a never-ending challenge of running a restaurant. He mentioned that he opened the restaurant (the building was a laundromat in a previous life), two weeks before COVID hit in 2020. Impressive feat to have weathered that and come out the other end with such a fine establishment.
