Review: Mill Street Grill in Stanton

Abi Brand, staff writer

Ribs, steak, and seafood, oh my! Mill Street Grill has all the great food needed to make your stomach happy. Located in downtown Staunton lies Mill Street Grill, a restaurant you will not regret going to, even if it is out of your area. Before you pass the entrance to the restaurant, a large billboard directs you to where to go. 

Mill Street is best known for their baby back ribs, glazed in the restaurant’s own barbeque sauce. I can attest to how good these ribs were, as I ordered them as my main dish. The ribs were tender, meaty, and fell right off the bone. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and nothing short of a perfect match to the delicious ribs. 

For those who enjoy even more meat, Mill Street has steaks that are cooked to order and cut in house. They even have a large seafood menu of fresh catches that come in daily, which they serve and cook in many different ways. 

Not a meat person? There is no need to worry. Mill Street accommodates everyone, even those vegetarian and vegan diets, and they even have a gluten-free menu. The Black Bean Burger is a hit among those with dietary restrictions. Pastas and salads accompany the vegetarian portion of the menu. 

Mill Street Grill was once a flour mill, but in 1992 it was remodeled into a restaurant. Mill Street’s food is moderately priced and food portions are very generous. The service was incredible and they were sure to accommodate all of my needs, including side substitutions, and my glass was never empty. 

To finish out your meal, you are served a small bowl of peppermint ice cream to cleanse your palate. 

Mill Street serves brunch every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open Monday through Thursday, 4-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 4-10:30 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
