Wow! Great Food! I had corn pudding, fritters,(both complimentary)then turkey and dressing and green beans. It was great ! The best food we ate all weekend in Gatlinburg area.
The Old Mill & Restaurant
The Old Mill Restaurant is a very nice place to eat. It is very relaxing and cozy. The food is very good and it offers a variety of foods to choose from. I love the corn fritters they bring before the mill and the corn chowder is very good. The staff are very friendly and very efficient.

Waterside dining set along an 1800’s grist mill makes the Old Mill Restaurant perfect for a romantic evening. Not to mention the mouth watering food and heavily made-on the property desserts.
For more than 170 years this picture perfect grist mill has served the owners and is still being used today. The mill itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The area of the mill is known as the Old Mill restaurant and shops. In addition to the incredible restaurant they have a creamery, bakery, pottery shop, candy shop, and pantry. The mill is still used to grind the corn which is used in their ingredients in the restaurant and shops. They also have an on-line shop in case you can’t get there in person or if you get home and declare…"oh if I only had some of their pie".
They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a child’s menu. On the menu you will find soups, salads, veggie plates, from the water, southern delights, and class comfort offerings which should cover anyone in your party. All full meals include a cup of their corn chowder (which will make your taste buds grateful), fritters, salad, mashed potatoes, green beans, and desserts. I went with the hearty pot pie. The dough from the pie is made from the ground flower the mill produces and is thick and flaky. Big chucks of chicken, carrots, celery, and peas served in their own containers, what a meal! John went with the chicken and dumplings. Again the dumplings are made from the flour produced on site. The portions are more than generous. For dessert John went with pecan pie while I stayed with chocolate cake. We needed a stretcher to roll us out when done. The food was just a party happening in your mouth... to borrow from Emeril Lagasee.
The food exceeded our expectations as well as the service. The old worn boards from an almost 2 centuries old building add to the ambiance making it a romantic spot while enjoying our honeymoon. With most meals under $15 including everything but your drink, the place is also very budget friendly. We did hit their shops before our meal and I brought home some of their great mixes to make my own magnificent meal at home. And we hit their bakery on the way out so we could stop on down the road for more pie and cake.
