Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Sawmill Taphouse is a lively spot with a "great selection of beers" and standout dishes like the "best pulled pork" and crispy chicken. While service and noise levels can vary, the "friendly service" and creative menu options, such as wood-fired pizza, make it a worthwhile visit.

Fun Friday evening ambience. We had pizza which we usually have there. Today the dough was a tad undercooked but very delicious flavor. Quite loud which made conversation a little difficult! We will definitely again.. most likely for lunch or happy hour.

Always like going to the Sawmill but my last meal on my birthday was terrible. Had the beef cowboy burger and it was sooo hard and dry I couldn't eat it. Supposed to have blue cheese but barely tasted a trace. Very disappointed.

We both had two kinds of pizza with béchamel sauce and different toppings... (pear/pro) and "black & blue" and the crust in both was made to perfection. The toppings were just right and the smoked beef brisket on one was delicious. Very generous portions and despite it being very busy , the service was excellent.

The chairs are getting very worn out, they need to have the upholstery replaced, we received our meal and had to wait a minute or so for the cutlery. Overall not impressed. The server was quite attentive though.
