Mills River Restaurant

The food is great not to mention you have a wide variety of all kinds of different food,
Service was great not to mention the salad Bar.

We went to get a piece of the homemade poundcake. Because we heard the pound cake was delicious. And yes the cake is delicious 😀Next we going to set down and eat

The salad bar is the only reason I would go back. The spaghetti is way too sweet and not enough seasoning. The bread sticks are flavorless. Our server quietly steered us away from ordering several menu items that she claimed were horrible.

We heard about the Mills River Restaurant, 4467 Boylston Hwy, Mills River (Henderson County) from a friend and we finally gave it a try. Went there for lunch today.

The restaurant is quite large with plenty of easy parking. We told our waitress extraordinaire, Ashley that this was our first visit. Ashley offered a number of menu suggestions. She was very polite, super friendly and helpful. Ashley didn’t rush us, was very informative and attentive. When we were paying our bill, we praised Ashley to a man whom we believe was the owner or the manager.

Be prepared, Mils River Restaurant has a huge menu! With this being our first visit, we went with Ashley’s suggestion of the “All Time Favorites” that had a choice of the one trip to the salad bar, a side vegetable OR 3 dailyvegetables. The entrees came with warm, slices of fresh bread with plenty of butter or a margarine type spread.

The Salad Bar I forgot to take a picture of. A large variety of salad toppings such as pickled beets, 3-bean salad, cottage cheese, chick peas, shredded cheese, olives, eggs, chopped ham and other endless choices. Their Salad Bar was so excellent!

I had to try their fried chicken breast and my husband ordered their grilled marinated chicken breast. The fried chicken were TWO 7-oz chicken breasts, with a nice, super crunchy breading. Not overly breaded, it was just right. My husband ordered the TWO 7-oz marinated chicken breast was amazing…great marinade, juicy and grilled to perfection. Both plates were $16.99 each.

Another nice thing was none of the food items were overly salted nor overly seasoned, which was a huge plus. The fried okra was lightly battered and fried just right. I asked for butter with my mashed potatoes, no gravy for me….well, this time anyway. The mash were made from scratch and were so tasty. Both chicken entrees were very flavorful and delicious. The chicken breast portions were quite generous. Since we had the Salad Bar, we ended up bringing home most of our chicken plates, which will be another meal.

Fabulous food, reasonably priced, great service, nice spotless atmosphere… can’t get any better than that! Highly recommend Mills River Restaurant!

Open Tues- Sunday 7am-9pm. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! They also serve appetizers, steaks, chops, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, ribs, Italian and Greek dishes and so much more. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine, smoothly and perfect…they do it right. As I said, Holy Moly they have an extensive menu! Walked away extremely pleased with this restaurant. 😋

We will be back!

Great place to eat and have friends. Wait staff was interpersonal and attentive. I ate the shrimp stir fry with rice and it was plentiful and delicious. Only reason I rate the atmosphere at 4* was because there was no music or TV for background filler, but still great for interacting with others! Full send recommend!
