The Old Mill Pottery House Café

We stopped here for Brunch today, and we had a great experience. We started with the loaded potato chips which were crispy and tasty. The dipping sauces are plentiful and there was more than enough for both of us.

For the meal, I had shrimp and grits which were incredible. My girlfriend had the Pimento BLT with Jalapeño Corn pudding as her side. Both were super tasty. We also grabbed a slice of Peanut Butter Pie on our way out.

The service was amazing. Hakan never let our cups get empty, was kind, and managed all his patrons like a professional. Huge shout out to him.

My husband, some friends, and I came by tonight and had dinner for the first time! We live in Georgia so we are not local so we wanted to try something that was new and not a chain restaurant. We walked into the building and it was very nice, clean, the staff seemed very happy! I typically don’t leave reviews unless I absolutely LOVED my time. Anyway, we ended up sitting in one of the bubbles outside as we had 6 people and said we would like first available seating. After waiting only about 25-30 minutes we got sat! Our server ended up being Meg, who by the way is one of the coolest people ever and if we come back sometime soon I will definitely be coming back and asking for her! She was funny, entertaining, and was the perfect server for our group! We’re all a bunch of goobers! We told her we came to town for my birthday (it was November 29th and we came the 6th through the 9th), and we all told all kinds of party stories and she joined in. She was a part of the group for sure! She brought me ham for my birthday because I told her how much I loved ham and sung me happy birthday! I definitely recommend having Meg as your server! She’s hilarious!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this charming cafe!
Yes it’s a popular tourist spot but the food is LEGIT yall, I always love shrimp and grits and theirs is one of the best I’ve ever had. And the appetizer grits cake with pork belly is out of the world! Whoever came up with this ode should be rewarded of some sort!
We sat at the outdoor area, our server is an older lady and so charming and friendly, we love the entire dining experience there!

A friend of mine works here and said that the food was phenomenal so I went to check it out and she was absolutely correct. The chicken livers were amazing. Cooked to perfection. The cheesy grits amazing. Wait staff was very polite and very quick.

Salmon with fresh dill sauce was delicious. The kids meals had a choice of a big bowl of actual fresh fruit. The seasoned fries weren't so good. Thr cheesesteak & the fried green tomatoes weren't a hit though.
The fresh baked bread smell so good and is a good price!

Most of our group liked their food. The steak & cheese & the fried green tomatoes were not liked. The salmon with the fresh dill sauce was good.
The kids meals come with a choice of actual fresh fruit or fries both were delicious.
The smell of their freshly baked bread fills the restaurant & was so good and reasonably priced.

I was the last guest to be seated on Thanksgiving Day, which is extremely busy, so I was anxious about coming in so late but they made me feel comfortable and welcome. Katie was my server. She was quick, kind, and courteous. I had their Thanksgiving meal and had plenty left to go. Their pumpkin pie was delicious with a good cup of strong yet smooth coffee. I will be back.

Stopped in for dinner while visiting the area. I had the chicken salad that came with a wedge salad. Both were super good. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! I'm definitely coming back to try some of their other menu items!

Loved it all, except the strong garlic smell when you first walk in :(
Imma bit different evidently, but that is way too overwhelming to walk into :(
We sat outside just to get away from it
