The Old Mill Restaurant - Lower Lake, California

First time here and this place is amazing. You almost pass it driving downtown through old Lower Lake. Outside looks remodeled and very nice, with great woodwork craftsmanship. Once inside, the place is on the small side but very welcoming, clean and perfectly spaced with lots of television and clear view of the outside through large windows. Not to mention the warm greeting we immediately received once we entered through the door. We came around the beginning of lunchtime so there was no crowd, but that quickly changed towards the end of our meal which tells me the place is pretty popular! We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and French dip sandwich from the lunch menu and they were absolutely delicious! I asked for medium rare on my burger and it was on point! We both agreed that fries were a hit… perfectly cooked, the right amount of seasoning and crispness/crunchiness!!! Definitely on our agenda to visit again and try their breakfast and dinner menu!

I was in the area and decided to stop. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. My husband got the 8oz ribeye steak, and I ordered the huevos rancheros. We also ordered a quesadilla, and it was good. The food was very delicious. However, their Orchata was watered down.

I was pretty disappointed by the French dip sandwich. The bread was old and the meat was pretty dry. My friend sandwich was also lackluster according to him. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. The price was reasonable.

Our first time coming here for dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Burrata for appetizer, Rack of Lamb and Pastor Pizza were all delicious! We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes next time!

Nice customer service, decent portions and good burgers, just don't order the dips, they are a congealed lump someone needs to teach them how to make "sauce" not just melted cheese. The chicken fried steak is not a beefsteak it's a very thin cutlet, more bread matter than meat .

Darn! I forgot her name 😔 but she offered the most Excellent service I’ve had in a good while. The Old Mill was one of those rare finds we occasionally came across at stops made randomly on our 17 day NW USA camping adventure. It’s actually located in the building that originally housed a town mill, updated and cute. The food? Muwaaaah (kisses fingertips)! The best breakfast cooked fast, served hot.

Went to the old mill restaurant in Lower Lake yesterday and had a bacon avocado Burger and fries.... Got to say the Burger was juicy cooked the way i like it. Plus I got complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip. I've been there before for breakfast and it was so so but I believe it was because they had first opened and working some kinks out , for 20 $ I was able to get a 1/2 pound cheeseburger with thick strips of bacon and a side of fries plus the chips and salsa. Definitely good bang for your buck. The customer service was good, and the food quality was good. Also I would say 4 out of 5 stars and I definitely recommend it.

I wish I could rate this place higher and would like to give them another try. Place seems wildly inconsistent. My Alfredo with prawns was bad. Like, really bad. Small portion Spaghetti noodles with butter and 7 small frozen shrimp are what I got. The bottom of the container (we got to go) had "Alfredo" water at the bottom of it. $22? Really? My wife's chicken teriyaki bowl was better priced and better quality food, but I mean not by much. Tiramisu was alright. Best thing? My daughters chicken quesadillas. Best quality out of what we got. Service was great and timely. The place looks like it's trying to be a little more upscale, but that can't just mean charging higher prices for mid quality food.
Will give another chance for sure, though.

Update: another experience that is wildly inconsistent. Got a French dip and honestly felt like I could have got the same quality at a gas station. I'm not trying to be so harsh to this place, but for what they are charging, I'm blown away. I feel this place has a ton of potential, but at this point in time, this place is mediocre at best.

Update: So i tried again....why? Idk. Tried something different this time. Maybe it'll be better....nope guess not. This looked when it came out, but i was nothing but disappointed again. Looks right, but like this place, it's very deceiving. It feels like AI made this. Never had a poke bowl like this, and not in a good way. The waitress pronouncing it poke (like poking) was pretty humorous. Still can't find myself giving them a 2star for some reason though.
