Here's a variety of fun facts about The
Mill!
Fresh
Home Made Baked Goods Every Day!
Our
mouth-watering desserts are baked, from
scratch,
every day under the watchful eye of owner Shelly Petersilka.
The
banana creme pie and cherry cheese cake are simply to "die for." The
recipes are closely guarded family secrets, kept under lock and key at a
undisclosed location.

Our
secret weapons for unbelievably good chicken dinners!

Chicken
Dinners just like Mom used to make!
There's
nothing that comfort's like mom's food...
At
The Mill, we've been serving Mom's famous chicken, stuffing and gravy
for decades. It's the meal that made us famous!
Yes,
the recipe is kept with the other secrets of the Mill!

People always ask about the three hand-carved wooden ships behind our
bar.
For
years, Jim Cordier, displayed his wonderful hand carved schooners. We'd
occasionally sell one for him.
Jim's up in years now and no longer carving, so you can image how much
we treasure having these museum pieces adding so much to our bar's decor.

A GRUMPY CUSTOMER HISTORIC STORY
Here's
a famous legendary story from The Mill 50 years ago. There was a grumpy
customer who never tipped. He was unpleasant with everyone!
One day he complained that he had no spoon to stir his coffee. His
spunky waitress retorted he should "stir it with his thumb" until she
could get a spoon to him.
He was so startled, he left his first tip ever to that waitress. His
first tip at The Mill!

Nightly Denizens of the Wild at The Mill's
bar!

Carl,
the caribou, is the only caribou we believe currently residing in Door
County.
Carl
was brought to Door County by current owner Don Petersilka's dad, Don
senior.
Carl
liked it here so much... well... he simply lost his head and stayed!

Wally,
the walleye, was caught by Don's son, Don III at nine years of age.
Wally now resides above the center of the bar here, and we guarantee he
will not start singing when you walk by!

This beautiful 12-point Door County buck has been at The Mill since Milton
Petersilka, the frist Petersilka to own the restaurant.
He likes the place so much, he's been here for close to 50 years!
A true testament to the fine Door County artistry that preserved this
beautiful mount.
