The Mill Kitchen and Bar

Amazing duck confit poutine. Best in the south. What an incredible bar with some of the best staff. Katie always provides the most exceptional service. Awesome outdoor patio with a picturesque fireplace. The menu is painstakingly crafted using fresh, local and organic ingredients that end up being art on a plate. Also, this place has style and class. It’s perfect for a date, drinks after the office, or a poutine crave. You can’t go wrong with this place

Average. I choose The Mill for our wedding shower luncheon because of the menu and atmosphere. Our party of 10 was seated at a long table in a loud room that made it impossible to have a conversation. We were only offered the brunch menu. The salads were unimpressive and bland, the chicken sandwich was dry and the appetizers were overpriced for the size. 4 deviled eggs and 4 pimento cheese fritters? I had higher expectations.

Ordered calamari. It was like fried chicken. All breading. The red peppers in the calamari were mushy. Great service. Nickie was great. Fairly decent beer list. Nice ambience. Sat on the patio and the radio music was very loud considering they had a band as well. Go figure.

A gorgeous place to have some delicious southern fare at reasonable prices.
We had lunch on a rather rainy dark afternoon weekday. Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely outstanding.

I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday brunch here recently. We arrived shortly before 10:30 and were very pleased we did not have to wait. We were initially a little concerned about our seating arrangements as it was a bit odd where we were placed, but we accepted it and tried not to let the misbehaved child near us ruin the experience.
We had the pleasure of being waited on by Nikki. She was very attentive and charming. My fiancé got the «Which Came First» biscuit and I tried a bite as well. It was a delicious take on a Chik-​Fil-​A style biscuit that is obviously elevated. The chicken was the highlight and I would recommend this to everyone. It comes with potato hash (basically hash browns) that were equally tasty. I landed on the Crab Cakes Benedict and I was very happy. Cooked to perfection and the combination of poached egg, crab cake, and biscuit with a hint of Old Bay seasoning was incredible. Very unique flavors and the portions were on point. We left feeling full, but not useless. We will be back for more and plan to come later for the bottomless mimosas for $ 12.
Great staff, great food, great ambiance. Go there now!

Earlier in the year we enjoyed the Sunday post-​church vibe and food of this place. Food and service were both well above average. You won’t be disappointed by this choice!

The waitstaff seems to all be the same folks and service is still outstanding but the chef and menu have changed at The Mill. There are some kinks in the food that need to be worked out.
Their signature fried chicken is still on the menu but they are serving a different recipe. The new one is no longer brined so the flavor is not as distinctive but it’s still good. The new recipe is less salty and less greasy. There is also the option to get the chicken grilled which is a nice addition. Biggest complaint about the menu– many items are overly spicy. Crab cake app and porkchop were both too spicy but most surprising is the seafood pappardelle. It was too spicy to eat more than a few bites. The lightness of the seafood was overpowered by the spice, making me wonder if this was to overcompensate for a lack of freshness. None of these items mention being spicy on the menu so I’m not sure if this was a mistake or if someone in the kitchen just has a palette more suited to eating fire than food. There is a vegetable plate on the menu now which I was really excited to try. It was bad. Really bad. I was served 3 different vegetables, all green vegetables and all prepared in exactly the same way, sautéed with salt and pepper. It was that much more disappointing because I could have gotten a less expensive and awesome vegetable plate with a side of biscuits just down the street at Greenwoods. This should not even be on the menu if it’s going to be done so poorly.
The best part about the new menu is the desserts. Previously dessert seemed to be something thrown together as an afterthought. The dessert menu now represents a diverse selection of thoughtful creations. The pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite by a landslide.

Great brunch spot! Definitely the type of place to bring out of town company for a fancy locally sourced breakfast where you can walk around the historic square and halls afterwards.
We got the deviled eggs, ‘which came first’ sandwich, and chicken and waffles. All plates were were delicious. They have great potatoes with green and red peppers, delicious.
And they put the merchant copy receipt on top ;)

Meh, good place with a lot of potential but lacking in attention to detail that will take a restaurant from good to great.
Food we good, presentation and service lacking a bit. Excellent ambiance, especially outside overlooking the park. A good manager could turn this place into a gold mine.

I dined here recently with my fiancée and another couple we are friends with for brunch. The Mill is further back from the hustle and bustle of Canton Street and offers ample parking. Since it was a nice cool day, we chose to eat outside on the patio.
Unlike many restaurant patios with wobbly chairs and rusted out table, the Mill’s patio is quite aesthetically pleasing, set back from the road with a rustic fireplace as a nice focal point. If you are going to have a patio, you might as well do it right, and the Mill does it right.
The menu provides a satisfying mix of brunch options catering to those wanting breakfast or lunch. My «Blue Plate» consisted of crisp home fries, slightly runny over medium eggs, and savory caramelized sausage. However, the biscuit accompanying my nicely portioned plate was over-​crumbly and dense. Even the lukewarm coffee I had didn’t help. While the rest of my meal was genuinely satisfying, I was surprised the biscuit was so dry and doughy tasting instead of golden and buttery.
My fiancée and her girlfriend enjoyed their crab benedicts, however weren’t overly impressed with the overly tart lemon flavor in the hollandaise sauce. It seemed to overwhelm the nice mound of crab in the dish. Despite it not being what they expected, they enjoyed it.
My buddy scarfed down his bourbon, which I guess it means he loved it. He really enjoyed the candied bacon that accompanied his dish. I think his biggest gripe was that you could drink before 12:30pm on Sunday, LOL!
Overall, a great brunch place I hope to check out again.

We dined here for lunch on Monday afternoon after discovering that many of the local restaurants were closed Mondays. My boyfriends Mom is the cutest and as soon as she thought he had his heart set on Fried Chicken she was set to find a Southern style eatery when most of his suggestions were closed.
I think we were all slightly on the fence and didn’t know exactly what to expect since it wasn’t our first choice and we are all new to the neighborhood, but things were really nice. We were greeted and shown to a table with a pretty busy dining room. Makes sense, since most other places nearby are closed.
My boyfriend had a Pimento cheese BLT, his Mom and I both had the Shrimp & Grits and his brother had the meatloaf. All of our entrees were tasty and filling.
Their sweet tea was good and service was friendly.
I’d definitely eat here again, just typing this review is making me want their Shrimp & Grits again! So good!

The Mill Kitchen and Bar is located on the Roswell Square and has one of the best patios in Roswell. We enjoyed our meal, but felt it was slightly more expensive than it was worth.
Atmosphere: It’s where southern meets modern in both the design of the restaurant and the food. The restaurant is nicely designed, comfortable, and seems to be a great place for groups. It was very quiet for brunch on the day we arrived. In fact, it was just us and one other table, but we were early.
Service: Our server was great, knowledgeable, and helped with suggestions.
Food: We had shrimp & grits, biscuits and gravy, and chicken & waffles. The shrimp & grits were fine but very soupy, the biscuits and gravy were better than most places, but the chicken & waffles were disappointing. The chicken was good but the waffle tasted like one of those waffles that you make yourself at a hotel that serves complimentary breakfast.
Price: I’ve had better brunches in the area for honestly half the price, but I get that it’s chef driven and they probably have higher operating costs than many places.
Overall: I would like to go back for dinner sometime to give it another try. The atmosphere, service, and menu options are good. The food just needs to be a little better for the price.

Great fun place mrs. Georgia pageant had a great time here! Staff was great and food was terrific. Lots of attractive people go here. Bravo

Just arriving in the A my fiancé cousin took us to this place The Mills that was recommended to her by her father. So we got there for lunch and it was the first meal of the day for me beside the fact I was on the plane for a few hours and my flight being delyaed. At this point my fiancé and I were starving and ready to eat.
When we get there the ambiance of the place was very modern and open. They have an outdoor seating area but it was too damn hot to sit out side. The lunch menu was short and simple not too many to choosein from but everything was a balance. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks.
Now time to the good part and the important part. The food the food was exceptionally delicious. I got the shrimp and grits which was very flavorful and we’ll balance. Two things though 1. It needed a kick like a little pepper in the sauce. 2. The drink was a little weak. My fiancé got the jalepeno burger and the lavender lemonade which was weak. It was pure lemonade barley any liquor. The jalepeno burger was cooked to her liking and she ate it all the dining room was quite and you know that’s good.
Overall I give them four stars but overall it was good.

I have to give the restaurant and food a single star. Their menu made everything sound delicious and even the pimiento cheese fritters that my wife and I got as an appetizer were quite tasty. However, the shrimp and grits were terrible; the «poached» eggs came out with solid yolks and tastes solely of vinegar while the shrimp were overcooked and lacked any seasoning at all. The French toast was merely ok – again lacking any real flavor.
The one bright spot was our server, Natalie. She was excellent at her job, checked on us frequently, and quickly got us a meal replacement when we told her out complaints about the shrimp and grits. If you do venture out to try this place, ask to sit with her.

Wifey and I went to the Mill Kitchen for our anniversary dinner. After searching on Unilocal,I picked this out as a place for us to try… and it was successful, for the most part!
We had reservations for 5:00, but arrived a bit early. They seated us and offered us their «light» menu until 5:00…we wanted to try the Deviled Eggs as our appetizer anyway… so that worked out great. The Deviled Eggs are some of our favorites in the Atlanta area! These came with small pieces of candied bacon and a chive stem… but…the winner was the Deviled Egg itself… it had a TON of «eggy» flavor… the bacon/​chive added a bit of sweet/tart…but…the egg was the winner!
We then shared a Watermelon/​Beet salad… another winner. This was an interesting combination and a «stretch» for wifey… she is not a big beet person… so…kudos to her for stretching! We really liked this salad… so…the total salad is watermelon, beets, goat cheese and arugula with a honey-​chive vinaigrette. In eating this salad, you taste the watermelon first… then the goat cheese, followed by the arugula. The beets do not come through too strong, but more as a background earthiness. And the vinaigrette? Well, to be honest, I had to look up what it was, as I not remember tasting it at all! But… that is ok… a very good salad!
For our entrée, we selected the Country Fried Steak. While this entrée was well cooked and tender, it lacked seasoning (thus the reason for 4 stars). Both wifey and I had to add a good bit of salt/​pepper to «up» the flavor profile. We also asked for more of the gravy on the side, as it was quite minimal on the plate. The accompanying potatoes were also a bit on the bland side… KITCHEN-​SALT AND PEPPER ARE OK TO USE! The accompanying green beans and arugula/​parmesan salad were both pretty good.
Service was outstanding… I know on other reviews it has been spotty… but…for us, it was quite good.
Bottom line… we will return… and will try a few other items on the menu
BTW…with this meal, it was also a quite affordable place… not cheap, but not outlandish either…

Great restaurant that I would absolutely recommend. Sunday brunch is awesome. Gouda grits are cheesy and yummy! They have daily specials too like french toasts that sound like dessert! Crisp bacon or big sausage to accompany your meal. Coffee is great.
They have indoor quaint log cabin with a hint of sophistication feel to it or outside patio seating with a gigantic fireplace.
Had an amazing bloody mary bar that I will have to try the next time as this was a work function.
Farm to table menu. Reasonable prices 10 $ to $ 14 for brunch items.

Ultimately, what brought me to Mill Kitchen and Bar was a blind pick, shot in the dark random selection. I’ve driven through this chunk of Roswell enough times to know that there was probably a fairly decent selection of places to look for brunch on a Sunday morning.
Picking Mill Kitchen and Bar turned out to be quite a doozy of a lucky guess.
I was coming from Marietta, so it’s a pretty easy drive down 120, and literally riding it until the point where it ends; almost. Because Mimosa Blvd. is pretty much the last street before 120 ends, and that’s where Mill Kitchen and Bar is located. The exterior is what people would probably fling the term «rustic» around, but I felt this excited anticipation when I saw it at the kind of place to expect.
Parking is free, and probably just enough of it in the attached parking lot for about as many heads as they could probably fit in the restaurant itself. There’s plenty of street parking off of Mimosa as an alternative, and I do not recall seeing any meters; but being a part of Fulton County, I wouldn’t put it past even downtown Roswell to have some ninja equivalents of Park Atlanta come and snipe parking tickets, so consider the street at your own risk, just in case there’s something I missed.
Just outside the front doors is a cozy looking patio, that if it weren’t like 40 °F and overcast when I came by, I’d like to sit out on. Regardless of the weather, there’s a fancy fireplace with benches in front of, that I’d love to sit in front of with a beverage in hand, and good company, but maybe in another visit.
Upon entering, I was asked if I had made a reservation, which I hadn’t, and for a moment, I panicked that my girlfriend and I suddenly wouldn’t be allowed to dine without one, but thankfully, they seated us immediately, probably on account of the fact that we had strategically aimed to get there during the likely hours in which people would be at church.
Service was fantastic. Our server was well-​spoken, explained specials, and gave us the establishment’s spiel about Mill utilizes local farms and small-​box partners to supply them. A special of the day was beignets, and because I’d never had beignets in my life, I jumped at the opportunity to partake in them.
As I said, I’d never had beignets in my life, so I have nothing to judge them again, whether or not they’re «authentic» or if they were good or if they were bad. All I know is that I enjoyed them greatly, as they were hot, flaky, and the homemade jam that they provided was just the perfect consistency without being over tart, and worked fantastically with the pastry and powdered sugar.
As for brunch, I ordered a blue plate. Which based on the general idea of blue plates, you kind of know what to expect, but my rationale was what better way to gauge their quality, than to get something that has a little bit of everything in it?
Mill Kitchen’s blue plate was probably the best quality blue plate that I’ve had in a very long time, and has probably ruined the height of the bar that future places’ blue plates will be measured up against for a while.
Seriously, over-​medium eggs were perfectly over-​medium. I was given three generously sized sausages, that were not overcooked into links of leather, and tasted great. The potato hash was literally perfectly cooked, where some chunks had a little crisp to them, while others were tender and almost like eating chunks of mashed potatoes; not to be dismissed were the grape tomatoes within the mix that were pretty much the tastiest tomatoes, like ever. And the buttermilk biscuit was pretty much perfect. Golden on the outside, and cloud fluffy on the inside, while going great with butter as well as the leftover jam from the beignets.
Bottom line is that the location is quaint and convenient, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. Additionally, my knee-​jerk reaction to receiving the check was erring on very satisfied. This is about an easy of a five-​star as I can give, and I kind of don’t want to play the guessing game the next time I’m pining for brunch and I’m up in that area, and just go back for what I know is good.

We had driven past Mill Kitchen and Bar many times always thinking it looked like our kind of restaurant. Finally, we remembered when we were making lunch plans, and decided to try it out.
The atmosphere did not disappoint. We would have sat outside by the fireplace had it not been so cold outside at the time. Inside, the space was filled with wood floors and décor, and the room we were sat in had three walls of huge windows. It was like you were in a large, special sun room.
We were sat immediately and greeted by our server. Bottomless mimosas for only $ 10.00?! YES PLEASE! And she let us get the champagne separate from the OJ so we could make our own mix… very little OJ… They also had a Bloody Mary Bar which looked amazing! They also brought you only vodka to the table so you could really make your Bloody exactly how you wanted it. (Some places bring the vodka and base mix together, which eliminates personalizing the Bloody.)
I ordered the chicken and waffles, he ordered the SOS, and we split the Gouda Grits. Those Gouda Grits were freaking delicious! Just the right consistency and flavor. We quite enjoyed them. My guy said he really liked the SOS as well. It had a lot to it, so he was quite stuffed by the end. I tasted this dish, and it was not my style… but to each their own!
The chicken and waffles were, eh, okay. The chicken breasts were the best part, and after adding some salt, I did enjoy them. I will say they were slightly over cooked, the second one I ate being a little tougher to cut and chew as it had a tendon or something running through it. The batter/​fried outside had a great texture to it, staying nice and crispy. It really did need more salt, though.
Now on to the waffles that came with the C&W: way, way too dense! It was like I was eating a very heavy, dense cake. It was actually hard to cut with a fork. I had to use my knife to make it more manageable. I don’t know about you, but I like light, fluffy waffles… The syrup that came with them was not my style. It was more like a molasses, and it was not advertised that way.
Outside of the food and overall décor, I love how they showcased all of their local partners around Georgia that they sourced their food and drinks from. I think it is great they are helping support other local businesses.
Definitely keep in mind if you are planning to go for lunch on Sunday, they will not have their lunch menu available until after 3:00pm. They only serve Brunch until this time, which means no sandwiches… and that’s why we originally went there was to get sandwiches off their lunch menu.
Overall the experience was fine. Outside of the décor, Gouda Grits and cheap mimosas, everything was just «OK.» Service was good, nothing spectacular, but we did not wait too long once our drinks were empty… but they did get empty before being refilled a few times.
I am sure we will try Mill Kitchen again, at least for drinks if not more. Their Eggs Benedict did look DELICIOUS! I may have to stop by just for that… ;)

We went waited over 20 minutes no drink no nothing at all and we left well that’s nice guys… Won’t be back.
Judging by the other reviews were are not alone in this and there seems to be huge service issues and servers who never show or flake out. Before we left, asked for the manager and just stated bluntly «We came to eat, not to waste the time and regret».
They then offered to take our order, stated-​honestly no, we are pissed off and would not want to eat here when there are a ton of other places nearby that won’t give you a bad atmosphere around a meal. Asked for the owner, told won’t be in for a week; but after seeing these reviews I am not surprised.
Congrats — you lost out on $ 85 plus a 25% tip and repeat business as well as this to match the other reviews. Now multiple that by others who had the same experience but didn’t go to Unilocal and you might not like the picture.
