The Old Mill Restaurant Pigeon Forge's grist meal was built in 1830. For nearly 200 years, the mill has provided the people of Pigeon Forge with fresh flour and a place to meet for pleasant conversation (It even provided electricity in the 1930's). The Old Mill Restaurant Pigeon Forge still uses the flour from the mill, which produces an astonishing 6,000 pounds of product every 6 days when in operation. This fresh flour is used to batter the fine fried chicken and bake the delicious cakes and breads you'll taste at your table. With such a rich history and fresh flour made right on site, it's no wonder why The Old Mill remains one of everyone's favorite places to eat in Pigeon Forge year after year.
