Olde Mill Restaurant — Restaurant in Leacock Township

Service: Horrendous. Like, really horrendous. Food: okay Price: reasonable

I had high hopes that the food would make up for the service. Was it okay? Sure. Worth almost two hours of waiting? Nope.

It's Mother's Day. We expected a crowd at breakfast. From all indications, the restaurant had no idea that people go out for breakfast maybe ever, let alone Mother's Day.

After a very long wait, we realized that we'd been skipped. They'd crossed our name off the list without calling it. They apologized. The women seating us then became frantic. They went into a tizzy in front of us--about us being skipped, about the girl who screwed up, about where they'd seat the next people, etc.--unprofessional histrionics.

Once we ordered, the wait was................long. Like, LONG.

We ordered items that should have been super easy and fast: cream chipped beef, toast, homefries, pancakes, scrapple, and a sticky bun. This whole order should have been cooked within 10-20 minutes. Not an hour, guys. Not an HOUR!

Meanwhile, after maybe 40 minutes, the waitress reassured us that our food was coming soon. She added: "Other people are waiting, too."

Now, how is it going to make me feel better that everyone is receiving equally poor service? Is the restaurant operating under egalitarian principles? If so, is there a point at which they decide to apply GOOD service equally? One can only hope.

Then...they managed to screw up my husband's order, so he had to wait a few minutes longer. My daughter and I began eating, of course, lest we starve and die. I assure you, I did not want my final gasps of air to be wasted in this restaurant.

They also forgot my sticky bun entirely. When I asked the waitress to either bring it or remove it from the bill, she did both, and then discounted the bill 10%.

I took the bun to go.

As we were leaving, the hostess apologized for the wait. I mentioned the hour-long wait for food on top of it. She copped an attitude at that point, about how they were at double occupancy, etc. Okay...Poor planning on your part is not justification for a two-hour ordeal on my part.

BUT--the sticky bun with raisins was amazeballs. My recommendation: walk in, get a sticky bun, and...

If I could give zero, I would.

It was quite likely the worst meal we've ever had. We should have listened to the waitress when she informed us of their lack of a liquor license, followed by the encouragement to go somewhere else to eat. We were not deterred by lack of libations, as it was my spouse's 50th birthday dinner, and he's not much of a drinker. We order our appetizers and entrees. The bread and pickles arrived soon after with some herbed butter. We ordered butternut squash soup, which was tasty, but there was nothing special about it. The bacon-wrapped scallops were just that, not remarkable. The salad my mother-in-law ordered was wilted or had little character. The entrees, in order of appearance, and the beef tenderloin tips were less than tender, with much gristle, so I was terrified to continue and quietly spat it out to the side of my plate. I ordered a side of potatoes that showed up late to the party. Our birthday boy, the featured guest of the festivities was none too pleased with his steak, so he asked for butter to improve the flavor. He received a frozen hunk of herb butter, which was impossible to cut through with a knife. My mother-in-law politely informed us the next day that her stuffed shrimp were cold. She also asked for butter and received a few drops in a condiment cup. Overall, the most enjoyable component of this meal was the company of family and our uncanny ability to entertain ourselves by singing The Sound of Music, unexpectedly disturbing our neighbors. Now that we've recovered from the grief and posthumously agreed the meal deserved an epitaph, such a meal is appreciated by the company you kept, not the unremarkable food presented. The next day, it was agreed upon that it was the worst meal we'd ever had. Old Mill Inn at the Best Western in Intercourse, PA, thanks for the memories, we...

This restaurant is trying too hard. The liquor is handle by another party. Don't get the chicken meal cause it's an airline wing at and it's $28.00 with no food. (They will explain it to you it's an Airline wing at like it some kind of royal food) Lexis our server didn't tell us her name we didn't know her name till we got the bill she young but come on. (When got our food she no where to be found my husband had to get someone else and this other guy came over to explain the chicken who cares he doesn't want it make as royal as you want.) I will share a picture of the chicken meal so you will see not worth $28.00. My salad was ok too much dressing it was swimming. My mom got a salam sandwich she really liked it. She thinks the best sandwich there. Oh the paid the Amish to eat there. The Liquor is handled by wine company. My sangria was good but not much fruit in my mom got the wine flight and my husband got a whiskey sour I think. I wanted another drink I told are server I really didn't think she told the woman but then she finally came. My husband ordered a burger that was much better. Now breakfast you have go to this restaurant for the breakfast and I thought the other people were rude staying there no they were just fighting for the food. The local Amish eat there for free to give Amish atmosphere and it's insane and then breakfast is over get there on time cause the locals come and take everything that's left my husband asked one of the guys that worked and he yeah they allow that here I just work here.
