Millside Tavern — Restaurant in St. Michael

Nestled at one of the remote Saint Michael neighborhoods, Millside Tavern has captured our hearts and become a cherished destination for us. Its unique character shines through as the owners themselves seem to be the driving force behind this enchanting establishment. What sets Millside Tavern apart is the genuine touch brought about by the owners' direct involvement.

The Tavern serves as a hub for both locals and travelers from near and far, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. The unassuming interior, while not remarkable in itself, is a testament to the place's authentic charm. The mishmash of designs that has evolved over the years contributes to the establishment's distinct character.

One can always rely on the consistently delightful food offerings at Millside Tavern. The menu might be relatively small, but each dish is a delightful journey for the taste buds. Freshly prepared and bursting with flavors, the dishes cater to a variety of preferences. The drink selection is equally impressive, boasting a range of options including beer, wine, and a few choice Long Drinks.

For us, Fridays have become synonymous with Millside Tavern visits. The personal touch extended by the owners is truly remarkable. They not only recognize us but also anticipate our preferences, often preparing our drinks before we even ask. This level of familiarity creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere.

We sincerely hope that this hidden gem continues to thrive, resisting the allure of becoming just another link in a restaurant chain.

I stopped in recently and ordered a cheeseburger, and while I appreciate the friendly service and quick turnaround, I wanted to offer some constructive feedback about the burger itself.

The patty was noticeably overcooked and had a tough texture, which made it less enjoyable than expected. It also seemed like the burger may have been “domed” during cooking to melt the cheese, which tends to steam the meat rather than letting it retain its natural tenderness and sear. While I understand this is a common kitchen shortcut, it often results in a burger that’s overly hot, with cheese that’s melted but not integrated, and meat that lacks the ideal texture.

I’d love to come back and try again, especially if the burger could be cooked with a bit more care—allowing the cheese to melt naturally and preserving the juicy, tender quality that really sets a great burger apart.

Thank you for listening, and I hope this comes across in the helpful spirit...

I've been coming to the Millside Tavern off and on since the late 90's when I was in high school and not much has changed; the restaurant still retains it's small town charm and while the interior is rustic it's clean and well-maintained. Neither has the food changed it's still very reasonably priced and delicious and for the price there's so much of it!

I was here with a friend on 2/29/2020 and we both thought we might get their Wednesday basket deal, however; changed our minds because the French Fries are massive and hamburgers are big, juicy and delicious.

The staff is always friendly and the lady who served us checked in regularly throughout the meal to make sure everything was to our liking and went above and beyond considering we were sitting in the very back of the restaurant.

Thank you Millside Tavern! I'm definitely looking forward to coming...
