The Feed Mill Café: Where the potatoes are golden and the views flow like the syrup (but better).
We stopped at The Feed Mill on a sunny day, drawn in by the promise of cozy diner vibes and the steady whisper of a nearby stream. My boyfriend, who’s actually been in a few real feed mills, took one look around and said, “This isn’t really giving ‘feed mill’ energy,” but that didn’t stop him from diving fork-first into a plate of corned beef hash.
Me? I was running on low appetite thanks to stress (a girl’s gotta conserve mana), so I kept it simple with a plate of hashbrowns. And let me tell you—those crispy, golden potato locks were spun by breakfast angels. Lightly crunchy edges, soft centers… it was a tater treasure pile. I had zero regrets.
I did try a bite of his corned beef hash—and quickly untried it in spirit. Not my jam. It tasted like it had brown sugar in it, which to me, is a flavor plot twist I do not support in corned beef. I want savory, briny, maybe peppery—not sweet ham cosplay. Also, it was shaved, not chunky, which made it feel more deli sandwich than slow-cooked masterpiece. Not bad, just… not my thing.
My boyfriend, ever the neutral food diplomat, shrugged and said, “It’s fine. It’s food.” He finished the whole thing with no complaints but didn’t swoon. His sunny-side-up eggs were the real MVP in his eyes.
The real magic? The view. We were seated right next to a large window looking out over a gently flowing stream. Birds flitted past, the water shimmered, and for a moment, the world was quiet and warm. After breakfast, we took a quick walk to the nearby waterfall—a sweet little cap to a wholesome morning.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and judging by the steady flow of customers, this place is a beloved local favorite.
Would I come back? Absolutely. The vibe is lovely, the hashbrowns are worth a detour, and who knows—maybe next time I’ll roll the breakfast dice again and find something that hits just...
Read moreI'll start off with my first impression (which was on a non-average day). I went here with my mom on mother's day. They were having a special breakfast buffet. My mom LOVES breakfast food, and so do I. This was perfect. They brought out big plates of eggs, meats (sausage, bacon, ham, kielbasa), potatoes (diced and hashbrowns), french toast sticks (SO GOOD), biscuits, and gravy boats. Once one plate was served up, they brought another. I just wish we couldve taken the leftovers home. I ate so much more than I should've that day. They started by serving a little bowl of fruit on our plate (maybe to later balance out all the greasy bacon and the gravy?) Their service was absolutely fantastic and the waitstaff were very funny. One last thing. The view from the windows in the back was gorgeous! The oy thing that couldve made that day better was if they had an outdoor patio overlooking the little river outside behind it. Keep in consideration I did not go on a normal day and I only tried their breakfast food. I have no idea if their whole menu is as good as what I had that day, nor do I know the quality and price range of their regular menu. I am absolutely willing to...
Read moreI always keep track of my expenses and use an app to do so. After balancing everything the amount I had put in the app for my bill and the amount I was charged on my credit card was not the same. I have had a different place change my tip amount years ago, so it's not entirely unheard of, but didn't want to jump to any conclusions.
I called and asked to see a copy of the reciept and acknowledged maybe it was an error on my side, but wanted to double check.
Manager said she would call me back later that day or the next with the reciept information, but never did. I don't think it is unreasonable to want to see a reciept, but since they did not provide one and without knowing which side made the mistake I can't recommend this...
