Mill River Brewing BBQ & Smokehouse

Food was absolutely amazing & large portions. Our waitress was also phenomenal, will be coming back for sure!

Coming from the south this may be a harsh ranking, but nothing from the food stood out except for the barbecue sauce which was terrific. Service was great for my takeout order and the inside while I didn’t spend much time looked like a great place to go and have a drink and eat

Food is alright, but definitely on the pricey side for what you get. Won't be coming back. Spent a couple hundred for a meal only to get kicked out by the servers because of a reservation arriving that they were making space for. I've never had that happen to me before. I go out to eat for 2 reasons: for great service, and great food. This restaurant failed at both.

Absolutely great service. And the food was amazing. I'm from NC. And picky about barbeque. This place blew my expectations out of the water

Went to have their country fried which was very oily this was their special also. Like it sat in the deep fryer too long and not even seasoned. Gravy was bland tasted like flour and a hint of pepper. Mash potatoes barely warm seasoned decently. Veggies over powered in garlic no other seasoning. When I told the waitress she said thank you for the feed back and tried something else. Which was good but here’s the bad. When I received the check the special was still on the bill. So I went in to talk to the waitress about it. She informed me that they didn’t charge me for. I said that was great in all but the price difference between both meals. A lot different and she also said that my meal was fine according to the owner. And it was all in preference I said okay that’s fine. I let the waitress known that this puts a different view on how they carry their business. I let the waitress also know that I appreciated her trying her best. In a tough situation and let her know that this doesn’t reflect on her it’s on the owner and how they prepare the food.

Went there about a month ago with my mother. Everything went fine. They set us outside. Little chilly ordered our food and when they brought my mother‘s green beans out, there was a piece of wire brush in there. What was really crazy they still expected us to pay for the full meal Even though we could’ve swallowed that metal. I would be very careful And probably pass on this place. It’s expensive in the barbecue really isn’t that great either. Anyway, just my experience.

Wow, just wow. The beer rivals our favorites in burlington area. And the BBQ - just awesome. We've lived across the country including Texas and Colorado with great bbq, but wow, this place. The brisket was to die for (get the marbled, it is melt in your mouth flavor) and the burnt ends were something special. Everything homemade - from the corn muffins to the sauces to the chili to the creamed corn which had onions, seasoning and peppers, just all unexpectedly delicious. And the owners are lovely. Worth the visit (and the leftovers 100%).

On Thursday, September 18th, 2024, my wife and I placed a to go order. When getting home ready to go and eat, I opened up the pulled chicken there wasn't any sauce on it and there wasn't any sauce containers placed on the side. It was inedible tasted like straw, and dry couldn't even describe it. We call the restaurant and let them know, but unfortunately we paid for the meal in cash, will not do that again. With speaking with the manager she was to call us back the next day as she was going to contact the owner. To date never have received a call. It is very upsetting and frustrating when you order a meal to go and you arrive at home to far to go back and really don't want to take the trip again, because your are home with your family on vacation. We return each year to st. Albans, and will never go there again and will never recommend this place. They do not make good on what they promise, it is really a shame. This day and age no one takes responsibility anymore. Update the owner called and made good on the meal which was a wonderful surprise and shows how she really cares. She was extremely nice and apologetic and we will be returning to the establishment. It was incredible to receive the call and thankful for it.

Great food and drinks. Staff is super nice and the service was quick even on a busy weekend night. Would love to come here again!
