Yesterday we went for lunch and I ordered a banh mi sandwich. It came with lots of sliced fresh vegetables but no cilantro nor pickled carrots or daikon. Please don’t call it a banh mi sandwich. Very disappointing.

I worked with Jeremy and team for a private event and cannot say enough good things. The work done in advance to ensure things ran smoothly was top notch. Our guests had a great time and it was the perfect venue for a Fall get together. If you want a place where you can relax, have space and time to connect, and work with kind people who want you to have the best experience, look no further. Highly recommend.

I wish I had waited to order until after I went to the bathroom, because I would have left right then. The bathroom needed some attention as far as cleanliness, and there was no toilet paper available in the stall. My husband had taken our family here as a surprise for me because they had so many gluten free options. He ordered for the family on their app, and ordered me a GF beer. A worker came over to tell him they apparently “just ran out”, so he picked a glass of pinot Grigio verbally with the worker. Once I came back from the bathroom the worker came back over to tell me they just ran out of that as well, apparently. Crazy how the “just” run out of so many on a non-busy Sunday evening. Our order was dropped off, in a very timely manner thankfully. The food though definitely was not all it was hyped up to be. We had carnitas tacos, cheeseburgers, and an order of fries. The kids like their burgers, thankfully. The tacos looked great, but the shells must have been old/stale because the edges were hard to the point where it hurt my teeth to break it down. The inside the of the taco was good, but the shell ruined it. The side order of fries was way way way over seasoned and a blast of salt to your tastebuds. The worker/server never came back over after telling us they were just out of the wine as well, otherwise I would have mentioned something to them. I was super excited once we got to the establishment and I saw all the GF options because that definitely a rarity, but we definitely will not be back. We will stick with the fabulous pizza just up the hill.
Food was great. We had the street corn, fried pickles, salad & grains bowl, and smoked bbq pork sandwich. Great vibes as well!

We should've just ordered delivery to the park across the street. It's just a gravel parking lot with two shacks where they told us to seat ourselves then scan the QR code to order and pay online then they'll deliver the overpriced items to your table and try to add an automatic 20%+ tip.
This is a cool spot if you want to hang outside I guess. The food was very mediocre, 70 dollars for 3 appetizers and one drink. The presentation of the food looks okay but the tacos were beyond messy and dry, the fried pickles and french fries tasted like food you would get from a gas station. The service was sub par. My friend also ordered some mozzarella sticks and they were empty, hardly any cheese!

We went after golfing at Lake Ridge with our two young kids (it served as the acclaimed “10th hole”). We were able to easily grab a table around 2pm. Service was quick and excellent. Food was good- we ordered fish tacos and wings. Blood orange cider was great- not too sweet. Casual atmosphere so kids could go play corn hole while we sat down and relaxed. 10/10 would definitely come again!

Mill St Draft Garden is a hidden gem! The food was fresh and flavorful—especially the blackened mahi fish tacos, which were our favorite. Service was quick and professional, and the vibe was spot on with live music and comfortable seating. Fun outdoor space with TV’s even playing sports for those not wanting to miss the game. The area itself is super picturesque, with a river nearby and a classic bridge crossing that makes the whole scene feel special. We even met the owner, Justus—great guy and the kind of family business owner you want to support. Whether you’re local or just passing through, this is a spot worth adding to your list!

Nice spot for a beer and grub, but expensive for what it is. $70+ for 3 beers an order of tacos and a pretzel. Beers were good. Food OK.

Cons: Prices are completely outrageous. $10 a beer? Unreal. They do not accept ApplePay.
Pros: Absolutely everything else!
There are no servers, only foodrunners. You order on your phone off a QR code and items arrive VERY promptly. (Introverts’ paradise!) Oddly, ApplePay is not an option, you must save your card info.
The venue is lovely, with various seating options: umbrellas picnic tables, picnic tables under pavilion, and adirondacks around firepit tables.
Super kid and dog-friendly.
Food is good and generously portioned, and there are TONS of gluten free options.
Beers were good, especially the blood orange cider and the salted mexican-style lager. Draft cocktails and wines available also.
We would come more often if only the prices were more reasonable!

Location is great! Outside seating, play area for kids. Food was horrible and service not attentive. If you are going to just drink draft outside, this place is great.

I had such a great experience at Mill St. Draft Garden!
The atmosphere is super cozy and relaxed — lots of outdoor space with greenery, shaded areas, fans, and comfortable seating. It’s the perfect spot on a warm day. The selection of craft beers and cocktails is excellent, and everything came out fast and fresh.
The staff was friendly and attentive, and I loved that the place is both kid- and dog-friendly. It’s a great spot to hang out with friends or just enjoy a laid-back evening.
Definitely planning to come back again soon!
