I love the Old Feed Mill. We discovered it when we moved to the area and always like to go there for small celebrations. The food is always expertly prepared and the atmosphere is cozy in winter and breezy in the summer. The last time we went the service was a little lacking as far as refreshing water and bringing the bill but usually we cannot complain and will certainly visit this casual but delicious hidden gem again.
Always excellent! We love this place.
Service was great. Had the Easter brunch. Left a bit to be desired. The french toast was a bit hard. There wasnt anything that invoked a desire to go back for "seconds". The deserts and pastrys were scant. Had a hard time cutting a brownie. Needed a knife. For the price, we should have left feeling satisfied.
I went here for the first time after hearing good things about it. I made a special trip to mazomanie from east madison. I loved it! Our waitress was fantastic and super cool. The restaurant was super cute and antique like. Very unique designs in there it was like stepping back in time.
And the food was incredibly good. I'll have lots of leftovers. I loved everything about this place. I'll definitely be back. Really appreciate that they were so nice to me.
My wife and I have been going to the Old Feed Mill for 19 years. We actually had our wedding rehearsal dinner there. The food has been good for the most part. The cheese curds are really good 4.5 stars. The steaks are average 2.5 stars. The fish fry is good 3.5 stars. The wait staff is always super friendly and kind, and there is plenty of seating.
Their Sunday Brunch Buffet is really good 4.5 stars. Lots of food, including good desert. There are also gluten free options on the Brunch Buffet.
I would say this, that anything you get there that is fried is going to taste the same as anything else that is fried. I think the fry batter could use some improvement. You get tired of it after 2 or 3 times.
Simple menu, excellent food. Polite staff and pleasant surroundings . Much better than I expected .had pot roast and bread, no doubt it was all fresh and homemade with attention to quality . If I'm ever in the area again I'll come for sure.
Excellent food and friendly service! Came for dinner and had shrimp and the red snapper special with a local wine. All was very good. Cute, homey, vintage and clean.
Historic Wisconsin Gem! I absolutely mean it!
This was a stumbled upon place, as I was passing through on my way home from camping. It was 2pm on a Sunday, and most places to eat in the area closed at 2; Old Feed Mill had brunch until 2:30! I couldn't be more pleased with this stop! As I pulled into the parking lot, the visual appearance of a brick building and the nostalgia of a building with history were exciting. The railroad line close by and the growth of vegetation on the outside of the establishment gave charm and character to this restaurant; when we entered, I saw a nice bar area with an area to the right and left. I could also see a loft above, and old wood beams that let higher into the building. The sun came through the upper windows and really lit the upstairs. The whole inside of he business front was lined with beautiful flower bouquets. There was also a cute shop to the left down the hall. All of the cabinetry was wooden with hand shaped glass, and the hallway had information regarding the history of the building. There were also old machines on display. These type of items are certainly museum quality, with the display to accompany. There were also handcrafted quilts hung and draped around the inside furnishing, which accented the wooden beams and plaster of the beautiful interior. To the right was an entry into a room that opened up into a banquet area with very nice wooden tables. Everyone of the staff was very prompt and happy to be serving us. There was plenty of room to eat without being right next to anyone; and there was plenty of room to move around tables. The vaulted ceiling made for a private table conversation. There was also an old couple that are regulars who said they come a few times a week; I do not doubt that, since my experience was wonderful. Sunday's are brunch, which is an all you can eat style buffet! NOT LIKE A BUFFET HOUSE, NOT EVEN CLOSE to cramped, overpopulated or old food stigmas. They have regular dining hours, but do a special buffet for Sunday's; I can't attest to the regular menu style dining, but THE FOOD WAS ALL WONDERFUL!!!! The napkins were cloth and fit the theme, and the tables had nice silverware as well! I had no problem with the selection or service! My cup was always full, and there was a help yourself buffet with a few types of juice. I ate French toast, salad, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, breakfast potatoes, sliced deli style bread, eggs, and mixed steamed vegetables. Yes, I got my fill! Every bit of it was wonderful! I had nothing left, and there wasn't anything I tried that I set aside! I also had some pomegranate juice from a carafe, which was delicious as well! My girlfriend had chocolate milk, and a lot of the same food as me. She also had bacon, but also had the option of sausage, fish, chicken and some other meat mixed dishes in the area. Every plate looked fresh and was free of mess or dirty appearing dishes. No awkward looking foods or empty trays. As I was finishing my meal and exiting the building, one of the ladies spoke to me about the building history. She allowed me to check out the upstairs banquet hall, which was being prepared for an event the same evening. As I went up the stairs, I saw the craftsmanship of the building throughout the levels. The upper room was being set with table clothes and nice silverware! The upper level ceiling was also vaulted, and had a couple of ceiling fans with inconspicuous air vents designed into the theme of the building. I could see another room down the hall, lit up by the big windows, but I made my way back downstairs to head home. I didn't buy anything from the shop, but they are charming items such as crafty signs, quilts and candles. The restroom had No gross smells or messes laying around. I was pleased with all of that as well. I stepped out onto a covered deck, old style with wagon wheel decoration and the same charm as the rest of the building. I also saw a cool old car in the parking lot. I would HIGHLY recommend this place, even for the nostalgia alone! I already recommended it to my mother!
We were driving through and I found this place on my maps so we decided to stop. What a great decision!!!! Although it was Sunday which they have an all you can eat brunch it was the best brunch ever!!!!!!!! I'm so pleased with the food and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to others
Old fashion are wonderful. Bring an empty tummy plan on taking a box home food is to die for. The mac and cheese is three cheese awesome the pot roast is fork tender and the meat loaf made w pork sausage goes down smooth. Leave room for a grass hopper
Make memories take the adventure!!!
Good food, nice cozy old barn feel, but very nice and clean. Attended a wedding reception here. Great time
My husband and I booked the Old Feed Mill to host our reception after our wedding and it was absolutely incredible. The food was amazing and the space was beautiful. We received SO many compliments on both! Nancy worked so hard over the past 8+ months making sure everything was perfect for us. She was quick to respond and always helpful and kind. The staff was amazing as well, so attentive and thoughtful. Our guests were so amazed by the whole experience. Nancy made sure everything was ready for us and that we could set up early. During the reception everything flowed so smoothly and we are just so thankful we chose the Old Feed Mill. I would absolutely recommend everyone to go there, even if it is just for dinner. It is truly such a gem.
The food was great and the portions quite large. Staff were very polite and attentive. We would definitely recommend and visit again.
My family is about to have our 4th Thanksgiving Day Dinner at the Old Feed Mill. If you want an old fashioned Grandma good turkey dinner with all the trimmings this is the place. Wonderful food, fantastic service in a picture perfect setting AND reasonable prices!
While we can say the food was very good. The shrimp stuffed with crab was very nice, although it appeared the crab was lacking in the stuffing. The rice pilaf was excellent & the vegetables were cook appropriately. One of the dinners was happy his filet-mignon. The other two diners had mushroom pot pie from the lighter menus. It was an ample serving. The apple dumpling was excellent.
Having said all that, the service was very unacceptable. We waited 20 minutes before anyone approached our table and that was to tell us that there would be a delay because of some billing problem. We needed to stop other servers to ask for water and bread. After another 15 minutes our drink orders were taken. Then another 15 or so minutes finally our dinner orders were taken. It took another 20 minutes to get our food. What was rather upsetting was our waitperson (Lynn) never came to the table to see how we were doing. When the salads came the order was messed up and only one of us got the correct salad the first time. All the while we were eating, never did wth waitperson come to check how things were "tasting"
After the dinner, one of the diners asked for his steak & dessert to be boxed. When the check came he had to remind the waitperson for the boxes. She seemed to have forgotten.
We had been to a performance of The American Players Theatre ( APT) in Spring Green, WI. The Old Feed Mill Restaurant advertises an up to $3.25 discount per ticket presented after a play. We presented 2 ticket stubs for a $ 6.50 discount on our meals, but lo and behold we did not get the discount. Having been in the restaurant for 3 hours we just paid the bill.
By the way, the restaurant is VERY noisy. We had a hard time hearing fellow diners just across the table from us. We would classify this restaurant, because of the very noise level, as an eating restaurant rather than a dining restaurant.
Probably the worst service ever experienced in a restaurant!
Awesome meal. Great home cooking, lots of great meats and fish. Delicious appetizers and a decent beer selection for a restaurant this far out of town. Kind and attentive service and a comfortable homey atmosphere for eating.
This will be our last time we bother with this restaurant. While the food is good, but pricey, the service is terrible. We'd have been five times, this time we learned our lesson. The service will never improve. It is always slow. We almost left tonight while waiting. A family that was seated ahead of us still did not have food after we paid out. There always is an excuse for why the kitchen is behind. I'm not buying it anymore.
