Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration. But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

    Recently went to a Michelin star restaurant in Oakville, called Hexagon. We spent a fortune and came home disappointed 😔, having to eat another meal once we got home, due to the portion sizes. The Old Mill was the complete opposite experience. Fantastic in all ways!! Great food, great value, great service, and a winter wonderland atmosphere!! We spent a third of the money, and were SO MUCH happier.

    Everything was excellent! My party of 2 had a bar reservation for 845pm and we arrived a tad early but were graciously accommodated. The service at the bar was exceptional, our bartender took the time to learn what I liked to drink and recommended an awesome booze-forward Bev (Helter Skelter, loved it). She also took the time to make a thoughtful recommendation for our dinner— we ended up choosing a few salads (my chopped wedge was better than any wedge salad has a right to be) and the fries…my god, the fries. They are magic. Beyond that, the ambiance was perfect, playlist was the best, and the restaurant itself is just gorgeous (my dining partner and I were salivating over the gorgeous bar too — she says it’s onyx? I say a pretty marble? Whatever it was, whole vibe was perfect). Thanks for a great holiday meal experience!
