Mill River Brewing BBQ & Smokehouse

Everything excellent food and really nice staff :)

Very pleasant place to visit. We went near closing, so some of the food was sold out, but the food was great. The staff was amazing with my son, they had a dance competition with him to make him feel welcomed. He has a lot of energy and they handled his energy with grace. Very pleased with every aspect of this establishment. Some times kids are energetic and I wish every place held a standard to understand that 👏

Mill River is great! Very good size menu with lots of options. I am not a beer drinker, but others have told me their brewed in house beers are some of the best around.

Food was absolutely wonderful. I got the brisket tacos and highly recommend them. My companion got the brisket plate and ate every last bite. The atmosphere is down to earth and so friendly. We were there for lunch and enjoyed the outdoor seating! The waitress was super sweet and attentive.
Go enjoy the food and atmosphere. Bring friends and have a great time out!

This place can sometimes get really busy so plan for a little wait at times. The food was absolutely fantastic and they accommodated my gluten free and dairy free needs. On the night we arrived there was a singer (the jukeboxjake) in the outdoor tent. We had a great time with friends at a great location.

Orderd, a smokehouse burger was really dry. Just a plain burger for $15 and the fries look like they were reheated. Not very happy with the purchase.

We stopped into Mill River Brewing after a hike and were treated to excellent food and even better service. I had a brisket sandwich and fries and they were just what this weary hiker needed to refuel. The staff was very attentive and took great care of us. I'll be back!

I was pleasantly surprised by the BBQ here! I'm no snob or leading authority on BBQ, but you never know what to expect when you're way up in Vermont.

I got the pulled pork platter with mac and cheese and a lite lunch beer. The pulled pork was juicy, fatty in the best way, and had plenty of bark to add flavor. The mac and cheese was exceptionally creamy and flavorful, and the lite lunch was a standard light beer but that's just what I was looking for. If I wasn't driving, I may have tried one of their more adventurous-sounding beers as well. The corn muffin the pork came with was ok, but I still appreciated them including it.

The nachos we got were not that exciting, but I'm not going to be mad at a BBQ place for not serving amazing nachos. I'd try another appetizer instead.

I'd definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again!

Great outdoor covered seating area, service was very good. Brisket and ribs were really good, sampler came with pulled chicken, not our fav. overall, we'd recommend and return when back in the area!

The food itself is not bad. However, it feels extremely misleading for a restaurant to brand itself as a smokehouse and then not actually serve smoked meats. The menu online doesn't reflect what’s actually served, and the food they did offer had nothing to do with BBQ. Wouldn’t have gone if I had known the truth. No chicken wings, brisket, ribs, so don't expect that.

This kind of advertising is really disappointing. If you’re looking for actual smoked BBQ, I suggest going somewhere else.

First the good. The two beers I tried were great. I had the light beer which was crisp and refreshing. I tried the sour and enjoyed it greatly. No the bad. I need to preference this with I was just in Florida and I had some of the best BBQ of my life there. I would be willing to bet this places stuff is amazing if it was fresh. I am pretty sure my burnt ends were cooked yesterday. Some of them were juicy but about a third were dried out like they had been sitting out or under a heat lamp for hours. I had to send the fries back because they had been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. The corn muffin tasted like it was baked yesterday and kept in the fridge overnight. It had that kind of dryness to it. Disappointed. Which is a shame because I liked the beer and would go back to try more, but the food is going to keep me away.
