The Mill Bar and Grill

8/6/23
The service was outstanding, our waitress was amazing. Very cheerful and friendly. The establishment was very neat and clean. There is plenty of seating available.
The food was absolutely delicious, we decided on hamburgers. I had regular french fries and my husband chose the seasoned fries. The burgers are a ½ pound of deliciousness. The fries were perfectly cooked. This was the first place since moving to Southern IL that had Boudin Balls as an appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Tender on the inside with a light crispiness on the outside. Looking forward to having more of the Boudin Balls and trying other items on their menu. Noticed that they offer fresh pork rinds, we saw a couple plates go by, they looked absolutely amazing and the portions were large.
UPDATE: 8/31/23
Went on a Thursday to try their .55¢ wings, I had the Bourbon wings. Very nice sized wings. They have a nice selection of different flavors.

Cool atmosphere with old Mill signs and decor. Service was friendly and quick. Sunday chicken special was very good. A little saltier than what I prefer but still very good. Great prices for food. Fries are killer, cheese bites were amazing too!! Worth the drive for sure.

Excellent fresh Ceasar Salad with shrimp. Three of us ate for under $45. Definitely trying the fried fish next time. I saw it on another order and looked delicious. Servers were very pleasant and stopped by our table at least 2 times. Clean but home atmosphere. Bar was in the main room and blue collar workers were enjoying their lunches there. Separate slots room away from dining area. Highly recommend.

First time visit, certainly not the last. The sandwich and appetizer menu make choosing just one difficult. My friend ordered the green beans and I got the onion strings. I ordered the Cajun catfish sandwich without the bread. My friend had the fried cod.. the tarter sauce and coleslaw were excellent. I hear that fried chicken on Sundays is excellent 👌

This place has an amazing menu, great staff and a great atmosphere. Everytime we are in sesser we stop and love their onion strings, cheese balls, and chicken. They are also a great place to grab a drink if you are in the area and do themed nights and have live music! They also have a great outdoor area!

The food is always well seasoned and cooked. The drinks are refilled often and the service is friendly and helpful. Easy parking. We take our kids with us as well and they like the food! As with everywhere, be patient with the kitchen. They are blessed to be busy with customers! Food cooked well means they may have some prep time. If the wait seems too long, eat at home next time 😉

Honestly the best fried chicken , the best green beans and the best mashed potatoes with a “ magic” gravy and Our server was absolutely wonderful ! Well worth the trip!

Great place to eat and drink, service , food and atmosphere are top notch. We go a least once a week.

We were just passing through, staying in Whittington for the evening, and looked for a decent place to eat. Hands down, awesome. Food was good, drinks were great, and our service from Ashley at the bar, was top notch. The bar was filled with locals(except for us), which we love. Such a cute place!!! It’s a hidden gem for sure.

Had great food and service. Chicken dinner was excellent!

The girls were very busy with a full house of a car club. They were all accommodating and friendly. We sat outside the main restaurant in the beer garden. It was inside, nice breeze, beautiful sunset. The food is sandwiches, fries, a few salads, mostly fried foods. We all had something different from clams to chicken wings and it was all good. A unique and fun bar and grill.

Nothing fancy,just good food & good service

Good food and service great atmosphere. It was worth the drive.

The Mill has yet to disappoint us these past few months, where we dine with our friends weekly after playing pickleball. It has the best burgers, delicious wings and scrumptious fried chicken in Southern Illinois! The draft Guinness beer tops it off. Topnotch customer service by Ashley who is friendly and bubbly every time and makes us feel so welcome. When Ashley was assigned to another section, Ryleigh was equally friendly and made us feel just as welcome too. The bathrooms and facility are clean each time, and we enjoy the ambiance. Hands down, The Mill in Sesser is a gem in Southern Illinois!

Great catfish and boudin balls. Low key, friendly atmosphere.

Usually go for the Sunday fried chicken (which is awesome) but we decided to go on a Thursday evening and it was great! They had .69 wings and they were excellent meaty and saucy. My wife had the catfish dinner and she was very pleased. Our waitress went above and beyond to make our dining experience a pleasant one. I need to add that they have a great selection of appetizers/bar food. And so far they have all been delicious.

Fantastic spot! We found this place by accident and I am glad we did. Our server was really good. The food was delicious and my burger was tasty. The fried pickle appetizer was particularly yummy! We are not often down this way, but if we were, we would definitely return. The decor was really cool and there was ample parking. Nice open air seating available as well.

Shrimp deal was great. Waitress was pleasant. Nice evening. Booths need updating.

This place is awesome. Definitely will be coming back here. I had the mill burger. And fries. Inside is super clean and has a great atmosphere.

Very cool place with good food and hard working staff.
