The Mill on Main

This is my go to restaurant when someone asks me where to go for dinner. Great food and good bar selection including local craft beers on tap. Not a huge menu but everything is great and they are consistent with their quality. Hey have a warm, inviting main room and a patio that overlooks the river and park in downtown Huntsville. Anyone from out of town that I take to the Mill is always happy with their meal and experience.

We just wanted a drink and some munchies, and we were very happy with this place.
First of all, the location is great, right in downtown Huntsville, so you can walk to and from anywhere in town. The décor is pretty standard pub look with plenty of TVs on the walls so you can follow the sport of your choice, and they do a good job of keeping everything clean, which is important.
The drink selection is pretty good, but the food is really good. They make most of their stuff from scratch so there can be quite a wait for the food, but it is worth it. We had the chicken wings and sweet potato fries and they were the best chicken wings I have had in a bar in years. The wings are made from fresh products, not some previously frozen stuff, so they can also customize the order a little bit. We had the Caribbean Jerk and the Classic BBQ flavours — both were great but my favourite was the BBQ.
The sweet potato fries were pretty good, and the sauteed vegetables make a really nice side you don’t see in most bars.
I will definitely be back!

Wait twenty minutes for a drink after sit down, and another one hour for the steak I ordered. Incredible.

Walking into the place, I thought the food would be standard bar food. There was no one inside the building, but once you get to the patio, you’ll get one of the best views of the lake! So that’s where the people are at! There’s a busy dock where you can watch boats drive by. Don’t walk by this place, try them as it’s a must while in Huntsville.
The Ceasar salad was great, in house dressing I believe. It was creamy and garlicky, with a lemon zest, better and distinct from Renee’s salad dressing, which some chain bar food places use.
The wings were perfect! They’re not your average steroid overly dusted bar food wings. The hot sauce wasn’t the typical franks red hot type of hot sauce. Again, I think the wings sauce was made in house, it was creamy. Tried the northern heat which was one level down from the hottest sauce. The wings had soft and tender meat and a bit crunchy skin. It was also a good size.
The halibut that my companion ordered was dry and he didn’t like it much, so that’s one star off. You gotta have consistent great food for a five star, although if it were not for the so-​so review of the halibut I’d have given this place a 100%. The wings weren’t served with carrots and celery, but instead was served with a tiny amount of spring salad with carrots, cucumber and grape tomatoes. The wings were served with a side sauce of Ceasar. The coleslaw that came with the fish and chips was so crisp and had an extra zing, maybe mustard seed, but the server said it was curry. It didn’t taste like curry though. The fries they served with the fish and chips were wedge fries.
This place uses herbs in their recipes, making them distinct from the usual bar food. I’m surprised that only one reviewer commented on this. It’s like dining in a you gotta eat here restaurant.
Servers were friendly, but not that knowledgeable with respect to food ingredients.

The food was ok. Portions were huge (we went for lunch). If you dont eat a lot consider sharing. The wait was around 20 minutes. Would not come back

Sehr leckeres Essen, die englisch Stile nachos sind super! Wir hatten noch Fish and Chips, auch sehr gut! Was drum herum noch gegessen wurde sah alles lecker aus.
Service war sehr gut und freundlich.
Wir haben auf der Terrasse gegessen– toller Blick zum See

I stopped in for lunch with colleagues today. I ordered the house-​made burger with a side of coleslaw and a side of baked beans. The burger was served on an exceptionally good potato scallion bun and was topped with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and a caper mayo.
This patty was seasoned with some kind of herb, but before you groan to yourself, «Ugh, not another meatloaf burger,» let me assure you that the addition of the herb did not overpower the excellent flavour of the beef and I didn’t detect the presence of any binders that you’d find in the usual type of meatloaf burger. The patty was juicy, flavourful, and beefy and just slightly herby. You can live with the slight herbaciousness and still really enjoy the crap out of this burger unless you’re an absolute burger purist.
The sides also seemed to be made in-​house. The coleslaw was flavourful and properly dressed. The beans were a bit on the runny side (perhaps they didn’t cook them down long enough to reduce the sauce), but they had a deep, slightly sweet taste which was pleasant.
I would definitely come back here for another burger. It was delicious and I absolutely loved the potato roll it came on. More places need to use potato rolls for their burgers.
