The Northwest Voice

I visited McGee's Sugar Mill on Dec. 20 around 11:30 a.m.

          
When I first walked in this inviting country-style restaurant there was a just a sm all line with standing-room only. Even though I would have liked to have seen more seating room, we only waited for seven minutes. Considering the holiday hustle and bustle, that was very short.

 
The décor of Sugar Mill is in your traditional beiges, browns, pinks and blues with floral and wood-carved designs –– typical country decor. As I looked around, I saw plenty of festive decorations that got me into the Christmas spirit. Considering this is an older building, it was well-maintained and clean.

 
I received excellent service while dining at the Sugar Mill. Our server was very pleasant, clean-cut, and extremely attentive. He came and checked on us more than expected, especially considering the number of patrons. I was highly impressed with the service.

 
I decided on the classic club sandwich with turkey, bacon, tomato, mayo and lettuce on white bread, with a side of fries and a coke. There were hearty helpings, and considering I only paid $8.25, it was completely worth the price. My companion ordered breakfast, which is available all day. The ham and cheese omelet came with potatoes and a choice of bread or biscuit and gravy. His breakfast was priced at $8.75.  When he stated that he didn’t want the potatoes, my companion wasn’t offered a substitute. Since they were busy, he didn’t pursue it.

 
I have been to the Sugar Mill on several occasions and am familiar with the menu. There is a wide variety of choices, from grilled cheese to T-bone steak. All the prices are within moderate range, so if you don’t feel like spending a pretty penny yet still want a decent, well-cooked meal, I recommend the Sugar Mill.
