The Story

Stepping through the door felt like a hug from a bygone era, with the clatter of happy folks and the sweet scent of a thousand yesterdays. The frosty glass of a hand-spun soda and the thick, stacked sandwich tasted of comfort, made with care just like they've always been. This charming old parlor, still a beacon on Douglas Avenue, wraps you in a warmth only true American hospitality and delicious treats can provide.

    Good place to have a quick lunch. We had the beef brisket sandwich and the chicken salad and bacon. The beef brisket was really nice but the chicken salad was okay it lacked the wauw factor as the beef brisket but either way it was good.

    The restaurant was clean and has a nice atmosphere. Service was friendly and quick. I was a little irritated that the sever immediately started pushing milk shakes. I understand that I had kids with me but I wanted them thinking about lunch before desserts. The Reuben was okay, the side of potato salad was pretty bland. My daughter had the chicken salad sandwich which was very good and the winning choice out of the group. The club sandwich and ham sandwiches were also described as okay. The price for four meals was acceptable. The 4 stars is for the chicken salad, it is worth a return visit. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from trying the Old Mill Tasty Shop but I wouldn’t say it is a must try either.

    Delightful downtown Wichita gem. Great food, cool building, and literally the friendliest waitress ever. A treat for your eyes and taste buds, the cherry vanilla coke starts you off right, and the menu is so tempting it's hard to choose. I had a cheese crisp, very nice, my sister has a tuna melt, she loved it, and neice had a pita stuffed with hummus, it looked wonderful and she liked it very much. I highly recommend!

    I was hoping the food would be good, but it was even better than I hoped it would be. I had the smothered burrito with green chil, and it was delicious, and the bites I had of my husband's chicken, potatoes and roll were just as good. I was a bit full by the time I ate my entree, but I had to try the apple bread pudding, and I'm so glad I did. It was so very good, perfectly moist and spiced and not too sweet, and I absolutely loved it. I'm impressed!
