Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration. But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

We truly enjoyed our whole experience at Ancaster Mill. I hadn't been there in many many years so wasn't sure what to expect. From arriving to leaving the staff were courteous, prompt, engaging, and the meal was fantastic. I had the Yellowfish Tuna which was prepared perfectly and my partner had surf and turf with mashed potatoes which was so yummy. To top it off we had Butternut Squash Cake which is twist on Carrot cake...LOVED IT. We are looking forward to going back in the new year for another date night.
