The Pioneer Mill of Tiffin: Reviews & Ratings
The food is always delicious and cooked fresh whether you're dining in or taking out. My husband and I absolutely LOVED their thick mozzarella sticks and creamy/chunky spinach and artichoke dip. Service while dining in does take a little while. Servers are hard to get ahold of as well. The ambiance does give off more fancier than casual. The outside of the building is gorgeous. We had someone give us a tour of where the water wheel was and how things operated as far as the "Mill".
We were in Tiffin, Ohio checking out Heidelberg University for my son and looking for a steak place. It's an old mill turned into a restaurant with beautiful old charm. There are narrow stairs so be careful walking. I loved all the different rooms and the outside was very beautiful and picturesque. A beautiful place. The was a wait so definitely make reservations but we only waited about a half an hour which wasn't too bad. We got the crake cake appetizer. Light, flakey, full of crab and the remoulade was very tasty. We each ordered the prime rib but they have 2 different kinds so I ordered the angus prime rib and my husband got the fire roasted prime rib. Neither one did not disappoint, both had great flavor but my husband's was over the top good. Great seasoning and melt in your mouth out of this world good. I had a baked potato which was good but my husband had their twice baked potato and he could not get enough of it. So I would totally order that for next time. The meals also come with a vegetable garnish. They had the best prime rib I've ever had and will definitely be back for it again!!
Food was above average, but the service was impeccable from the lady that waited on us. It is a fun place to go.
Chef the day I was there did not get medium rare steaks right but they redid them ok. Nice hometown family place to eat. They were very busy with two graduations and prom guests and the front desk did a great job of calling back to confirm my reservations and we were seated on time. Worth giving them a second chance.
Good ambience.. the food is ok. Service great. Good location for dinner before the ritz.
