Green Mill Restaurant

I give 3 stars only because the pizza/food is usually good. Service/wait makes me wonder why we return...

Every time I come here I find that its either good, or bad. But the drinks are always good. But I enjoy the service. Very friendly staff.

Came here for breakfast after my husband and I checked out of the Plaza Hotel. We probably would have gone to McDonald's instead (and I wish we had), but we tried Green Mill because the hotel gave us a two-dollar gift certificate that we thought made sense to use.

The first bad decision was choosing Green Mill for breakfast. The second bad decision was agreeing to the buffet. Waffles! French toast! Eggs! Sausage! Bacon! Cereal! Yogurt! Biscuits and gravy! Fresh fruit! Of course I wasn't going to pass up a 9.99 buffet with all of those options. What they didn't seem to understand is that quality is more important than quantity. 9.99 still isn't a good deal for a lot of food if all of the food tastes bad. The boxed cereal was okay; although, there was only one unlabeled pitcher of milk (with no top or lid) sitting next to the cereal. I figured by the taste of it that it was 2%, but I'm not sure. Then I couldn't find a spoon. So I had to ask the waitress for one. Seems like you should have spoons at the buffet counter if you're going to have cereal and yogurt...

Then I tried the sausage: luke-warm and rubbery. Then I tried the hashbrown: luke-warm and chewy. Then I tried the french toast and the waffle sticks; guess what? Luke warm and chewy. I don't think I had more than one bite of anything (other than the cereal).

The other funny bit was what my husband got when he ordered a glass of grapefruit juice. They brought out a glass of what looked like bubble-gum-pink lemonade. I'm sure it was some type of grapefruit "drink"; it just wasn't juice.

I guess that's it. The service was fine. The food: awful. But I can only speak for breakfast. I'd recommend saving your money, passing on the hotel discount, and hitting up McDonald's or a local bakery instead.
