“ DECADES of regular use favorites. FAMILY owned & operated. With very little price difference compared to fast food purchases allows for SUGAR MILL RESTAURANT to be a top go to place regardless of whom or what reason it's so OFTEN chosen. Sr meal (60+) provides a greater value that includes what ever you might drink. Soda in actual large cups, YOU'LL have another back up cup without asking, this place is on time in every business way. I recommend their club sandwich, 106 people seating capacity, mostly booths. Hot summer days & this place is massive cool too. Never hardly ever will you wait to be seated LIKE waiting at Spencer's restaurant always is! If I'm GOING to be in the "08Dale" area is SUGAR MILL for me especially when time management is important. ”
“ I had a wonderful time at sugar mill. The food was fantastic. As if tasting delicious wasn't enough the wait for the food after ordering was quite quick. The service in this restaurant is absolutely phenomenal my server was on top of anything and everything, and it seemed that every other person working there asked if we needed anything while passing by. I was very impressed with service the quality of the food and the atmosphere there next time I'm in that town I will be visiting there again. Thank you sugar mill for being so good at what you do. ”
“ Great eggs Benedict! Husband really liked his corned beef hash. Very clean and friendly staff. Just need patience as they are busy and the staff is hustling!! Highly recommend! ”
“ The Southwest skillet was so flavorful!! It was a hefty portion so I could only eat half of it. It came with a side of salsa and sour cream. I enjoyed every bite. My daughter had a veggie omelet with pancakes. She loved her omelet. The pancakes, not so much. They were just typical diner pancakes. Edible but nothing to brag about. Charles was our server. He excellent! He was so welcoming and made sure we had an enjoyable dining experience. ”
“ The place was a nice quiet place. Had never eaten here before. Everyone was very nice. Got seated right away. Waitresses were all very nice...very friendly. We got our menu...they had lots of yummy choices. I picked my favorite "Pork Chops" . Ordered our food and got it pretty quick. It all looked delicious and tasted so good. We beat the rush. There was a line to get in when we left. Thanks for a great breakfast. God Bless You All Will be back. ”
