War Eagle Mill General Store Reviews

Very cool. They have refurbished an old water wheel mill and are using it as originally designed. Belts running equipment and everything. Worth a stop to grab some flour. Stay to watch it work.

This is a very old working grist mill and they make several things to sell. There is a gift shop on the second floor and a restaurant on the top floor which has a good breakfast. You may walk around over the old bridge as well as access War Eagle River and have a leisurely time. Suitable for all ages.

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in the NW Arkansas Area. Worth for the breakfast and lunch!

A nice stop to read the history of the mill. There is a gift shop and cafe too Bathrooms are a biffy but clean. The wooden bridge is fun to drive over and plenty of fishing spots too.

As a kid visited War Eagle before mill was rebuilt. Lots of camping me ories. And of course War Eagle Fair where I was an exhibitor. Mill is the frosting on the cake.

On the way there, we read that since the restaurant is on the 3rd floor, they could arrange a table on the ground floor. I called with only about 20 minutes before arrival and they accommodated our group of 5 on the ground floor. They made sure I knew that next time I needed to give them 2 hours notice. The beans and cornbread are the best thing on the menu. Lovely gift shop. Restrooms could surely be updated.

We had lunch here and enjoyed the scenery. It made for a lovely day. :) We had sandwiches for lunch. The reuben was good.

Nice place to visit and has lots of history associated with the mill. Didn’t eat here but did buy some of their milled flour.....Good Stuff.

Can not overstate how much fun this was. The restaurant on the third floor was amazing and the staff on the second floor could not have been nicer 10/10 will definitely be coming back

You can not come to the lake without stopping at the mill. The restaurant is fantastic and what a view of the river.
There are two floors of gift shop and very unusual item. They make all there own grain products including their fish coatings. They are delicious. They are an operating mill. The sound of the Hugh wheel turning in the water adds to the fantastic atmosphere. This place is a mental vacation.
Just walking around the area and the old bridge puts you at such a relaxed state of mind.
I would never miss this attraction when in the area. This is like no place else on the planet.

I've been coming to War Eagle Mill for the last 30 years and it seems that it never changes. I love the history of the place. The arts and crafts event is fun (but crowded). I guess my favorite time is when we stop in after viewing the changing leaves.

Our favorite getaway weekend is always perfect, even if the weather is still a little cool. COOL! That’s the best way to describe War Eagle. History, shopping, lunch ( breakfast on the weekend) - all rolled into one. It’s also on the way to Eureka Springs! If you haven’t been to War Eagle, you’re going to be wowed. It even has bike friendly parking if you’re lucky enough to be on your Harley.

If you have never been to War Eagle Mill, you MUST go. Great food. We love to go there for breakfast when guest come to visit. It is worth the trip.

We visited War Eagle Mill on the Tuesday before the Fall fair opened. The restaurant had a limited menu to its already small offerings, served in Styrofoam containers, due to preparing for the Fair. Don't get this...... guess they don't want to wash dishes. Pinto beans and ham with corn bread, ok, but not to return for.

Gift shop prices are high, to be expected at such a location. A few local artisans represented.

Scenic bridge, waterwheel, historic.

They need an elevator to 2nd and 3rd floors. Steps are steep. Restrooms, according to my husband, are essentially an outhouse. No indoor public restroom facilities.

We went to visit with our kids (12 yo and 3yo) they love the views and specially the food, all you can eat for breakfast, everything made from scratch!

The service personnel are ill equipped to get a order straight. Both my wife and I selections were totally wrong. Maybe a mixed up table? The time to explain and reorder really put a damper on us. However, the food in it's simplicity is fine. For us, the best part was the mill under the restaurant where they grind the real thing. Check out the pancakes mixes!

A working grist mill that is a delight to visit any time of the year. Located on beautiful War Eagle Creek, which powers the wheel that powers the grindstone. You can shop for ground grains & flour, biscuit mix, pancake mixes on the first floor. The second floor has cooking and kitchen items as well as Ozark mementos. And the third floor boasts the Bean Palace Restaurant, with the best beans & cornbread around. They have other menu options as well.

I love to go in every season but especially in fall and at Christmas. I can do most of my Christmas shopping with one stop!

War Eagle Craft Fair is held mid October every year. Plan to spend several days!

This is a great place to eat. It is not inexpensive but it is a lot of fun and the food is super. I can assure you this is a great place to take your spouse on a special occasion.

The area is beautiful. The building is so pretty and it has some of the pieces of a mill inside. The wooden bridge and the river headed to the scenery. But there really isn't anything to do there other than a little store.

We detoured 30 minutes to go see this place on the way home to Dallas. I wouldn’t suggest anyone else do that.

For starters, the mill was built in 1973, not something historic like we thought. And the best parts of the mill, the gears, etc., you can’t even see. Disappointing.

But the worst part, the only bathrooms are literally holes in the ground outside in glorified porta potty’s. Give me a break! Never again.

The building is so cute, the only problem is the restaurant is on the 3 floor and it is stairs all the way. The Reuben is fabulous. My husband loved the BLT. The chicken sald sandwich was good, the bread was different, it was cranberry and pecan. The Pecan and Blackberry Cobbler were very good.

War Eagle Mill is an interesting place to visit. It is a working mill that mills various grains. You can purchase many different items such as pancake and biscuit mixes as well as jellies and salsas. Make sure to visit the 3rd floor not only for the view of the river below but for lunch. The sandwiches are delicious and their specialty is beans and cornbread.

Working mill, great selection of flours and other products produced there. Cute café on the top floor. Well worth a little detour.

This mill is a picturesque site, and worth a short visit if you are traveling nearby however things may not be as you expect.

Can no longer see the works of the mill: I had visited several times growing up and was excited to take my boys to see the mill. Unfortunately you can no longer go downstairs to see the mechanism of the mill and the stones. That was a disappointment for me and made for a lackluster stop for my teens.

Don't trust the online menu: The menu they gave us at the restaurant only has 1/4 the items as the online one. I was depending on a hamburger for one boy (as listed on the menu) and a veggie burger for a friend we brought along. So lunch was entirely disappointing. The actual lunch choices were meatloaf sandwich, turkey and bacon, reuben sandwich, or beans and cornbread. That's the whole menu.

The scenic view is nice and the property well maintained. While it was interesting to "window shop," I would probably never make a purchase here - the prices are way too high. I hope the new owners from CT are able to figure this out so that the business continues.

Cool damp rainy day! Great day to search out one of our unique places for lunch in North West Arkansas. War Eagle Mill’s Bean Palace Restaurant was an easy winner. Brown beans with onion and jalapeños, cornbread slathered with butter! What’s not to like. Follow that up with pecan cobbler and a dip of vanilla ice cream. WOW! “Just do it!”

Our family enjoyed going to the mill. The building and grounds was decorated with autumn decor--bales of hay, pumpkins, corn stalks, fall leaves and flowers. Teens learned about how a water mill worked to grind corn and then they enjoyed eating fresh cornbread. Nice place to touch base with the past.

I am here in NWAR for a couple of weeks and just happen to be here during the craft show/fair at War Eagle. I've heard about it for years but 1st year attending. I had lunch at the Bean Palace and toured the Mill and the vendors. It was an excellent day, beautiful day. The restaurant was clean and waitstaff were pleasant and helpful. The craft fair was over the top, from the unique items, fine art to sand art for the kids. Would love to go back this weekend for breakfast at the Bean Palace. Lots of history and a one lane bridge.

I am a local and I love coming here. Stock up on your jams, jellies, salsa, oatmeal, flour, and more. Kids love to watch the mill in action, inside and outside. There are lots a neat souvenirs to buy on the second floor. On the third floor there is a restaurant, but I have never been to it. Word around town is that it is good not great. Just a few tables, nothing fancy.

What is the name of a mill, a creek, a bridge and a craft fair in northern Arkansas?

Answer: War Eagle.

Just 28 miles from Eureka Springs stands War Eagle Mill, the fourth built at the site on War Eagle Creek since 1832. The only days that they don’t grind grain is when the river is running too fast or Beaver Lake is above flood stage.

The building’s first floor features the mill’s axles and belts, as well as various flours and ground grains for sale. We picked up some yellow cornmeal and some buckwheat flour.

The second floor offers a number of handcrafted items, including jewelry, pottery and knives.

Finally, on the third floor is the Bean Palace Café. The mill has a long tradition of keeping a fresh pot of beans on the stove for visitors to enjoy. Of course, I was happy to oblige, ordering a cup of pinto beans and smoked ham hocks with a fresh piece of cornbread. Yummy!

Outside the mill is the War Eagle Bridge, a one-lane steel and wooden structure built in 1907 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. My wife and I walked across — traffic being pretty sparse just then — and checked out the grounds of the War Eagle Craft Fair.

Reportedly, the fair draws more the 125,000 visitors during the four-day event each October.

We stopped here in late October. Though the mill was recently rebuild the history was interesting and you can get flour ground there. The area is also scenic. The staff were wearing masks and customers were required to wear masks which we appreciated (I'm not sure if Arkansas's mask mandate is still in place). We got some tasty pickled items and bought their flour to try.

The mill is cool, has a great historical aspect. Scenery around is gorgeous, right on the creek. They have a lot of specialized products for purchase. Neat visit.

Took the family to the mill for late lunch. The beans and cornbread were hot & filling on a very cold day.
Loved looking at all the crafts on the 2nd floor & the mixes & jams on the 1st floor. The outdoor bathroom is a trip! Thankfully the cashier told us about the heated stall as it was frigid outside!
This is an Arkansas destination. Everyone has to go at least once. Good place to take out of town visitors.

This is a cool stop to make when in the area. The bridge which is 111 years old is nice. You can drive over it as it is still in use. One car at a time can go over. The old mill building has a gift shop and a restaurant as well.

I go to War Eagle at least once a month. I love their products, from cornmeal mixes, fish batters, jellies and more. They also have a great restaurant. This is a must. Go fishing, eat at the restaurant, take some fish breading home to fry up your fish.

This is a very neat place. It's pretty, relaxing, interesting, the food is good and the staff couldn't be better. You especially have to go upstairs and hear the storyteller Mika. It's obvious she knows the history of the mill, it's stories and she just enjoys talking to people. There is plenty of parking and always something to see.

It really is worth the trip.

War eagle is one of my favorite places in North West Arkansas to take friends and family. The history is amazing and if you are lucky Ms. Mika Dyer will be working upstairs in the gift shop where she will give you an amazing historical story telling about the beginning of the mill and the fire that once destroyed it. You can't leave without eating in the famous Bean Palace restaurant, delicious! The gift shop is an excellent place to purchase a variety of mixes milled right there and some of the best Apple jelly you will ever eat!the landscape with the creek running by it and the bridge is a great place to take pictures during any season. This is a perfect place to visit with a wonderful staff the great food and gorgeous location is a must for anyone that wants to see Arkansas at it's finest!

Very interesting! My curious kids loved it too. We went before going to the cavern and the two went well together for a nice day of activity, learning and natural beauty.

Great place to stop and see a working mill. Lots of history and old pictures. The pecan cobbler with ice cream is fantastic and not over priced.

Spent an enjoyable afternoon here with my family. It's nice to see people saving our history for future generations. They fire up the mill to show you how everything works and spent time explaining things to you.

Drove out to the mill and it was very interesting!! Seeing the mill working and some of the products produced in the mail was unique! Nice gift shop, many locally products and a small restaurant. If you enjoy history and local items this would be a good stop for you!!

If you want to know what that is you will have to visit. The War Eagle Mill is A great family day trip. The bridge next to it is beautiful and eat lunch at the Bean Palace restaurant. The mill is closed January and February. There are craft fairs twice a year but come in the spring or fall for the leaves. Combine with a trip to Hobbes park.

The food was good when it finally came out. I am sure this doesn't happen all the time but the ran out of corn bread when their staple meal is beans and cornbread. We had a large group so the brought out the beans when others ordered sandwiches so by the time the cornbread came out the beans were cold. I was not impressed when I finally got to eat. I would go back only if someone in my group wanted to.

Breathe in the history, the architecture, natural beauty, then go to the top floor and breathe in old fashioned beans and cornbread. Great place to relax. Looks great after flood damage bottom floor some time back.

Unfortunate that it gets flooded so regularly, but good that there's someone to keep cleaning it up. Love the working grist mill, and the surrounding area is gorgeous. Nice that the bridge got rebuilt, too. They did a great job on that. We go through here regularly instead of staying on the highway because the drive is so nice, even if it takes a few minutes longer. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place for day trip or drive. Very relaxing and real character. Bought some neat stuff. Good was yummy. Go check it out and take the kiddos.

This place is so picturesque! The surrounding area is gorgeous and makes for great photo opps. The mill itself has a store on the first floor with demonstrations on how the mill works. On the second floor is a Cafe with limited hours. You can also drive across the bridge but it is one way only so be careful. We loved our visit.... oh and it's absolutely free.

Definitely a place to stop and see. The Mill is pretty, sitting on the creekside. Take a picnic or stop at the Mill restaurant and get a meal. They have beans, and sandwiches. Very good.

I had been looking forward to visiting the mill in person for years. I’ve purchased quite a lot from the online store during the pandemic and was excited to finally visit. We drove to the mill for a late lunch and, although the website mentioned nothing about having to hike to the restaurant on the third floor, I set my jaw and climbed the stairs.

The menu posted online is not available; an overpriced, meager few choices are offered. Although it was just less than an hour until closing, most of the attention was concentrated on breaking down the steam table. Another couple arrived after our order was placed and, seeing the busy breakdown underway, offered to leave. The server said it was up to them, but assured them they were still serving, so they elected to stay.

When our food arrived, I was shocked. My veggie burger was so small, it was almost invisible under the huge leaf of romaine and the icky yellow cheese that had been recently freed from its cellophane wrapper. My enormous pile of greasy fried potatoes tasted like they had been on the steam table for several days. My husband had a club sandwich but I can tell you that I have never seen a club sandwich like that one. We had to ask for more water and were not offered dessert (we would have declined). And this appetizing experience set us back $30.

After hiking back downstairs, we asked where the restrooms were and were waved across the yard to two outside chemical toilet huts with additional steps to climb and a terrible odor.

Since this mill is quite a distance off of the main drag, one has to be going there to get there. You’d think they would be happy and welcoming when customers make the effort.

We visited the mill on a Sunday. It was fairly quiet and calm. The man in the gift shop was very interesting. He showed us the mill machinery and told us a lot of things about corn meal we did not know or had thought about. We loved the old building. We went upstairs just to look around. We did not eat or anything. We really enjoyed the marks on the wall of how high the water had rose in different years from flooding. The man and woman in the gift shop were so nice and friendly. They did have open pit outhouse toilets. They were clean. When I asked where the restrooms were, the nice woman told me about them. She said it is the same bathroom they use. The bridge is wonderful to watch. It is one lane. So the car on one side has to wait for the car on the other side to cross.

Stopped to see the mill and ended up eating there and sure was glad, it was really good "old home style" and delicious..

What a wonderful step back in time!! Beautiful surroundings, unique gifts, and a excellent restaurant!! Take a deep breath and relax and enjoy a afternoon here!! Go see Mika!! She is a excellent history story-teller and just a lot of fun!!

This a fun place to stop for an hour or so and check out the old mill. Watching the water wheel was fun, and I liked the old pictures of the mill's long history.

My wife and I dined at the Mill for lunch duirng the week. I would note that the history and atmosphere was perhaps better than the food. Although our sandwiches were good, the restaurant's menu did not match their web-site menu.

This is primarily a shop. We bought some jelly, hot sauce, popcorn, and a funnel cake maker. The clerk was terrific and friendly. Apparently there is a restaurant on the 3rd floor. We did not eat there. I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to visit...we were already in Rogers, so the short trip was fine.

Nice scenic views from the one lane wooden bridge over looking the river and the grist mill with the old working water wheel. Nice shop inside.

Loved it here! We would come back again the site is beautiful. The store has amazing jam! Prices are reasonable! Loved watching the mill work!!

A wonderful and historic place. Home of my mother in law. Many cool things to see, and a memorable experience for all.

I was lucky to visit during fall foliage season. The mill is beautiful so is the stream and old bridge. I had my pet so I did not get to go inside but it’s definitely a photo op place.

War Eagle Mill represents a celebration of wholesome values, community enrichment, incredibly hardworking people, incredible down home food, and tenacious survivorship, despite the obstacles experienced by this historic place.
Our local Optimal Nutrition business was honored to be part of the 2017 War Eagle Event Craft Weekend, where we prepared a variety of dishes using their outstanding Mill products. What a great tag team relationship this was! I can attest to the highest quality, wholesome products they produce!
During the event, we saw first-hand how Mill staff exemplified down-home generosity, kind hearted fellowship and team work.
I have to give Mika Dyer a shout-out. She went out of her way to make visitors feel like family, sharing the rich history of the Mill, and helping people feel welcome, laugh and enjoy themselves.
If you have not been to the Mill, this is a remarkably memorable place to visit—not just during the Craft weekend, but throughout the year. I can guarantee you will be filled with rich history, great food and local products, a family fun-filled atmosphere, and most importantly great memories!
5 *****stars!

Decided to stop here after visiting the War Eagle Caverns since its nearby. We were not disappointed. The mill has a gift shop, and then we ate at the restaurant on the 3rd floor. The beans and cornbread were DELICIOUS. The turkey/bacon sandwich was just as good with the balsamic onion marmalade. And lets not forget the petite jean ham sandwich with the pineapple cream cheese! Everything we tried was good!

Wonderful place to visit! Very Beautiful! Very nice gift shop on the first and second floors. The restaurant on the top floor is absolutely delicious! The best beans and cornbread around! And their cobblers are to die for!

This was a great place to spend a couple of hours. We took our boys ages 13 and 14 and they had a wonderful time too. The first floor was flooded and under construction the day we were there. The boys were pretty bummed out that they did not get to see the working part of the mill (the grown ups were too!). The scenery was great, the old wooden bridge is fun to drive over, and there are lots of historic information posted throughout the place. It's a very scenic place and a great place to snap photos.

The gift shop on the second floor was great too, you can find local arts and crafts, candles, knives, goodies from the mill, and even a doggie section! It was super fun to look at all of the bagged goodies from the mill like pancake mix, biscuit mix, oats, cornbread mix....

We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food was at The Bean Palace! This is the restaurant on the third floor of the mill. Best beans and cornbread EVER and the pecan cobbler was wonderful! Limited menu but all very delish.

We enjoyed learning about the mill and the area history. Check out the water wheel and all the belts and pulleys that take the power to the mill. Take a walk over the bridge, lots of activity below. Be careful if you go to the outhouse, its a real old fashioned experience.

We were advised to stop by here and check the place out. Beautiful scenery! It will be a must stop again next time we are down that way.

We come to the area several times a year to see are grandkids have went to caverns but not mill so glad we came down a day early I wanted to see the mill. Love looking around and going over bridge good history lesson to the kids. Can't wait to use my cornmeal wish you would have had sorgum

I have been visiting here since I was a kid, and now we're bringing MY kid... This place holds lots of fond memories for me!! To me, this place feels like coming home... The store is nicely kept, the restaurant is clean and friendly... I am sad however to see that the picnic area has been left to fall apart... There are no longer tables to sit at and this was quite disappointing.... I hope someone takes the time to repair/add new tables!!!

War Eagle Mill is appropriately called a mill, because they grind and sell the most wonderful flours. They have a water mill, a gift shop and a cafe upstairs (no elevator) to grab a drink or something to eat. This is the original location of the War a Eagle Craft fair that thousands of people every year come to buy home made arts & crafts from amazing artists. This weekend has expanded into surrounding cities. That's why I titled War Eagle Mill a destination.

Site has a well known arts and antiques festival twice a year, but it was not up to snuff this last time out. The vendors didn't have any quality goods, parking lot was a mud pit (but the local high school kids were troopers and raised good money helping here,) but most concerning was the lack of security. I had my credit card hacked here, and there was another attempt the day after the first attempt.

The vendors seemed to be just going thru the motions, and the mill was unfriendly and rude. I used to love this place for the festival, but never again. And the Mill cafe was closed.

A must stop if you are in the area. The Bean Palace is located upstairs and has a very limited menu but the food is good. Attended the Craft Fair which is massive. The Mill is open and has lots of gift shop items for purchase and a demonstration of the working mill. Interesting stop.

The mill itself is interesting, but what we experienced on the quiet, not busy day we visited in August was appalling. The restrooms are outside, and they were filthy. No soap, no paper towels, just some hand sanitizer sitting on a grimy sink. It looked like nobody tended the place. It gets worse... that's the restroom that the staff uses, too!! When the staff told us that, we decided that we would NOT eat there, although we had fully intended to do so, BEFORE we witnessed the lack of basic modern sanitation. I can't believe the Health Department has allowed this to go on.

Great place for all ages. I live close by to War Eagle and always come here to visit and enjoy the river and beautiful scenery.

This is a cute little place to stop and eat. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor of the mill. Stairs only. Good home cooking. Big on beans and cornbread. Friendly service. Has a working mill powered by the river.

A working mill with a cafe! We stopped here to see how the mill worked in a time before they were powered by electricity and was not disappointed with the demonstration. The pulled pork sandwich from their cafe was fantastic with bread so fresh and soft (made from grains done at the mill). My only disappointment was we did not realize our visit was also the weekend of their huge craft show so was challenging to get photos of the mill.

Great tourist spot to learn some history about the mill and the area. We enjoyed the little gift area and driving across the bridge. We didn't stay long since we came about 30 minutes before closing but looks like you can get in river below bridge. The person working the gift area was hilarious and friendly! We loved his humor! I recommend this place if you are looking for a unique Arkansas made gift for loved ones!

Not overly active in a sense, but if you let the ambience move you, it is very romantic. A bit of a drive for the offering, if there is no vendor selling activity on the grounds, but it is a photo op.

The mill is colorful, picturesque, and calls you to a bygone era. The river ambles by turning a water wheel that operates a grain grinder inside the trinket shop. A really neat bridge crosses the river and bids the guest to walk over it and peer into the current below.

The trinkets and memorabilia are nice with a few custom made local artisan knives, etc. in the offering. Unique houses around and about the mill, and the drive to and from is picturesque and interesting.

When in full swing, the acreage is filled with vendors and cars and it all becomes an anthill of bartering and browsing.

It is a memorable place.

I have fond memories of War Eagle Mill from childhood visits, but on the most recent trip I was disappointed. There was a flood recently, and the mill is under repair/renovation/construction. The porch was taped off, blocking the main entrance. We entered up a back staircase instead. The entire building smelled strongly of chemicals, perhaps varnish, which left me feeling dizzy with a headache. The water wheel outside was not turning, so no actual milling was happening. War Eagle Mill and the restaurant upstairs should be closed while all this construction happens.

Took my kids and grandchildren here to look around. Ended up having lunch. Had a great time. Food was great. I’d recommend the beans and cornbread.

We stopped here for lunch one day and thought the cafe was so cute! Unfortunately it was snowing, so we couldn't wander outside much. Was pretty underwhelmed by the gift shop - way too much "live laugh love" style stuff when we were hoping for War Eagle Mill personalized souveniers.

We had so much fun visiting this beautiful wood & grist mill. They were very sweet when they explained it to us and turned on the paddle wheel even though we missed the scheduled tour time. We also left with some yummy popcorn and fudge. Thank you!

We visited the War Eagle Mill on our way to a long weekend in Eureka Springs. It is a beautiful setting, especially in the fall. The working grist mill is powered by the War Eagle River, and the corn meal is bagged up right in the middle of a quaint gift shop. My wife did a lot of her Christmas shopping while we were there. There are a lot of natural packaged foods as well as unique crafts and clothing.

Nice little tour of the place and nice gift shop. Had food products that were actually ground there, too. Don't forget to visit the Bean Palace Cafe on the third floor.

The mill and the bridge in the middle of "no-where" make for a nice stop and pictures, even an afternoon picnic by the water, or some fishing. The mill is restored/re-build for the umptiest time - just 2016 after a recent flood. Now with a large gift store, mill-display and top floor restaurant. Unfortunately, the ice cream was melting and the pie was so-so.

Wonderful experiences at the Mill. Always fascinated with the working grist mill, and all of the organic flours. A lot of original pottery, baskets, and other crafts by local artisans.

I found this from TripAdvisor and wanted to go there. So I went there and same time they has craft festival. Has small restaurant on top floor. Food are good. There is old house across the river who owned this mill. Beautiful property.

Very cool place. Old single lane bridge takes you right into mill parking. Has been devastated in past by floods and even fire but has always bounced back. You can watch grains being ground and of course purchase some should you wish. Cafe on 3rd floor serves beans & cornbread, buckwheat pancakes, and the like. Should you ever be there in May or October, beware - they have craft shows then and the crowds number in the many thousands.

When I grew up & raising my son, this was just a neat place to visit! It is always a nice place to go the Third weekend in October for the Craft Fairs! Trees aren't usually turned at that time but still a good drive from Rogers!

The War Eagle Grist Mill offers you Organic Grains, Meals and Mixes to make soups, Bread, Hush Puppies, etc. The building itself is remarkable to see as the water wheel is the power source for the milling process. They can control the speed of the wheel using a gate valve. It is a very picturesque site. Sadly during our visit the bridge was closed limiting a greater photo op from across the River. There is a gift shop and The Bean Palace Cafe offering daily lunch specials and great Cobbler. The staff are very friendly, polite, helpful and informative. They can relate a lot about the Milling Process and the local History of the Mill. I highly recommend a visit if your travels bring you this way. I hope you find this review helpful in making your travel plans.

This was our second time to War Eagle Mill. We ate lunch here and once again enjoyed the food. This time around we had a dog with us and it was in the peak of the summer heat. Dogs cannot go inside the mill so we ate lunch outside. There aren't any picnic tables, but there are some rocks & ledges that can be sat on.

I wish we had brought water shoes to walk in the water, but made due with flip flops. The water is shallow and crystal clear water. Great place to take pictures.

The first two floors are variuos forms of tourist gifts, cook books and food. The restaurant is on the third floor. Limited but good menu. The sandwiches are excellent.

This was okay but nothing special. We didn't visit the restaurant but walked the bridge and visited the store - it was all okay. I wouldn't make a special trip here but if you are in the area, then worth checking out.

Had to replenish our jelly stock. Had a bite at the little restaurant. It’s beautiful out there. Will be back I’m sure.

This was my favorite place we visited on our trip to Arkansas. Such interesting history in this WORKING mill! Got to see the wheel that is turned by the water that supplies the power for the mill to grind flower, etc. They also sell their products! Was sad we did not have time to eat in their restaurant, but heard it is wonderful. WORTH THE TRIP!

This is a very nice spot to visit history and to see a real gristmill at work. There are many good places to photograph. A nearby bridge offers a good view of the working mill and as a spot to take photos. The water below the falls is not too deep and people were wading and enjoying some floats when I was there. Inside the mill is a small store where you can purchase flour, cornmeal, grits, oats, honey, jellies and many other items. It is a quaint place that does not require a lot of time.

This is an old historical mill that is currently a working mill and sells their products on site as well as having a gift shop and small cafe. The Fall Craft Fair will be October 13-16 this year. The War Eagle Creek runs through the mill and you can fish and swim. Nice family place to go.

The history, scenery and the fact that it was along the way made this place pretty neat! With COVID having everything shut down stuff is really hard to review and/or rate this place as the only floor we got to see inside the mill was the first floor which was the gift shop. I enjoyed the views and the scenery as this was truly a pretty place to see and literally get your feet wet!

The mill was beautiful and the people inside the mill were very helpful and informative. Secluded but well worth the trip in my opinion! We purchased hot roll mix and biscuit mix while we were there.

The fact that this is a one of a kind mill made it a must see... and the people who work there are so friendly it makes it even better.
Be sure to take the tour. It certainly adds to the experience.

Everyone should visit this old Mil. Great food and beautiful setting. Everyone should have to just see it!!

From the restaurant to the gift shop it can't get any cuter. A must see for sure!

Coming across the old bridge was very fun. Like bringing you back in time.

We have been here several times. They have a place to swim and fish on the river. You can also purchase flour, jams, salsa, candy, etc. They also have a simple breakfast buffet. Nothing fancy but good.

Great little store with lots of different things. Purchased a number of mixes that I can't wait to try. Also purchased some jams. People were so nice. amazing peach cobbler! Will come back for lunch!

I've been coming here since I was a young girl. I'm now bringing my kids to make memories. That old place amazes me...after all that it's been through...it's still going strong! Beans and cornbread...no lie...best I've ever had. We will drive 13+ hours to just eat the good stuff! 😉 Keep in mind...you can order all of their products online. They have gluten free too!!!

This mill is a wonderful place to visit if you are in northwest arkansas. Located on the war eagle River, the mill has survived many floods. Try the restaurant for corn bread and beans! And the milled grains are great and make wonderful gifts.

No restrooms available and the place has plenty available but would not allow their customers to use the restrooms during War Eagle fest. Won't spend my money there...I am a senior and have some disabilities, but staff was not willing to accommodate my needs...sent me to the outhouse across the road...

Visited the Mill while passing thru after a visit to Eureka Springs. It is a wonderful place to visit, and the local history is very interesting. My wife and I toured the Mill and the bridge, enjoyed the staff and had a very good lunch at the restaurant. The three levels of the Mill provide a great mix of things to do and see. One of the biggest joys of our visit was the Story Teller! She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and one could tell she really liked her work, meeting the public and telling the Mill’s Story. Upon the conclusion of our visit, we picked up on some great items in the gift shop and left having had a great experience at the Mill!

While the Mill was extremely cool, the food upstairs was the number 1 place to eat. I got the Not Your Mama's Grilled Cheese and Bean Soup. I could eat it everyday if I lived closer. I wish it was closer to Eureka and we would have ate there everyday.

Great place to visit, especially in the fall! Very peaceful! The mill is a great place to find some unique gifts.

I've attended this fall arts & crafts fair annually for as long as I can remember, most times by riding my motorcycle down and pulling along a small trailer to haul away any treasures I might buy while there. NOT THIS YEAR (2016). Upon arrive at the gate to the parking field, a young lady informs me that I will be required to pay for TWO parking spaces because "your motorcycle takes up two places with that trailer on the back." What the heck? Not only have I never been charged twice to park there, but my motorcycle/trailer combination fits within a single parking space with ease. I do it everywhere I go. It fits so easily, at times, I've had other motorcycles share the same space with me. When I tried to explain this to the young lady taking money at the gate, she became very rude and informed my that she hoped I'd turn around and leave. The nerve!

I'll be spending my arts & crafts money elsewhere from now on. There's too many other great places in the Ozarks to visit and spend money. Why waste it on a place who's staff is rude and obviously not very bright?

Stop by and watch the big wheel run and turn the machinery that does the grinding. Nice variety of ground products and other local and hand made products. If your hungry go up to the third floor for an ice meal.

Great place with lots of goodies for foodies. That would be me.
Beautiful place to visit and to get mill that is ground there. On a beautiful river with a working water wheel. Just a unique place where you can also sample goodies before you buy them. Great gifts

Each time we come visit I love it more and more. Great craft fair they have here and the food at the restaurant is to die for!! Brings back a lot of fond memories from when I was a kid as well!!

We were looking for something for about two hours and a meal and this was perfect. As a working mill you can get very close to the wheel and see the belts that have run this mill for 100 years. Two stories of gifts and products both made on site and around the ozarks. The third floor has a deli with great corn bread with corn meal milled on site. The grounds are great. ***NOTE the bridge over the river at the mill will be closed until the end of Sep 2017. Business 12 out of Rogers is a beautiful twisty road thru the woods. Check your route before heading out.

We ate in the restaurant on the third floor. The food was delicious and my husband said the corn bread was amazing. It doesn’t cost to go inside and is along a river with a cool one way bridge. They also have a large craft fair there once a year that we would like to come back and visit.

War Eagle mill is in a beautiful country setting however the wheel was not running when I was there. The lower floor of the mill had been flooded and the top floor was closed.

This is our third or forth trip and it never disappoints. If you like old fashion cornmeal from you won't find any better. Well worth the trip there and the climb up three steep flights of stairs for the cornbread and beans...Delish!!! While you're there, be sure to stop at the store on the first floor and buy a few bags of the cornmeal to take with you so can impress the folks back home with their easy to follow recipe.

We heard lots of good things about the mill. The history of the mill itself was very interesting. It was far out of our way without a lot of hoop la. It was nice to see and walk the bridge, the scenery was great. The coffee shop was clean and neat but the coffee was weak I could see the bottom of my cup. Yuck. Go see it if it's on the way to somewhere else.

If you are walking through Eureka Spring this place is worth visiting. We took good photos and we really enjoyed it. The store is open but the restaurant is currently closed.

Most of what you see is a shop with merchandise for tourists and a restaurant. Outside you can watch the water turning the wheel.
I would not go there if it meant a big detour.

Great place to say you have seen. not quite a big as I had imagined. employee that helped us on the main floor was so sweet but the girl on the 2nd was too busy with her phone to care. Still glad I got to see the place.

Gorgeous water and falls. There is a working mill and restaurant on the 2nd floor. Great food. Great people who work there. Lots of knowledge.

I gave this attraction 5 stars, because it is truly a piece of history. The mill is a functioning mill from the 1800s built by original settlers to the area. The workers love their jobs and offer a free tour with lots of wonderful info. On the third floor is a restaurant that has good food, great service, reasonable prices...and in many ways is like a step back in time. The bottom and 2nd floors have gifts as well as the functioning mill wheel on the 1st floor. The location is great for photos. For those on a tight budget, there is no pressure to purchase anything...you can just do a free tour and look around and take pictures!

War Eagle Mill is a quick interesting place to see a historical Mill still operating. This Mill has been flooded and rebuilt several times over the past 100 years. The most recent being in 2015. You can purchase all sorts of grains produced right there using the latest machines. It's all still belt driven from the wooden water wheel and through a series of gears and belts there's a noise that fills the 1st floor. More shopping on the 2nd floor. There's a amazing little family style restaurant on the 3rd floor. We tried the peach cobbler and found it quite tasty. It's basically a fun little place to spend a hour.

The working mill was very interesting but could see anyone to explain it. The shop has some nice items and the restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. The staff in the restaurant were particularly friendly. The whole site is very well maintained. The area is beautiful with some great photo opportunities. Worth a visit.

Stopped in to see the mill and have lunch. The beans and cornbread are second to none. Picked up some blue corn cornmeal ground on site.

It was interesting to go through the War Eagle Mill. It is more of a gift shop & restaurant. They do have some unique food items along with other things. I bought a fart whistle for my great nephew. LOL! There is a beautiful view of an old one lane bridge & it's surroundings.

We drive over War Eagle Bridge, ever time we head to Hobbs Nature Preserve to Mountain Bike and slowing to look over the bridge is gorgeous every time.

We have taken many friends to see the old Grist Mill and it’s history is amazing. It does flood often and they always restore. The gift shop has adorable items.

Have only eaten breakfast once and have not been back. Food just wasn’t good and limited menu for vegetarians.

A short drive from Rogers Arkansas. You will enjoy the drive all by itself with the scenery. War Eagle is like stepping back in time.

Excellent!! Great area to walk around and neat old machinery to watch and lots of jellies, salsas, flour, etc. I neat restaurant too! We didn't know about it but if we make it back we will plan on trying it too!

We enjoyed seeing the last working grist mill in Arkansas during the Thanksgiving holidays. There were some good old photos inside the store there that we enjoyed including ones showing how high the water rose at the mill during various floods. We bought some packaged goods that were made at the mill to make at home such as cornbread. Pretty drive near there too.

I had the chance to visit War Eagle Mill last year and wish I lived closer so I could go there on a regular basis (a Cali Girl here...)! I loved the history of the Mill, the huge variety of home crafted items available for purchase (especially the Seedless Blackberry Jam...out of this world) and struck up a friendship with the delightful cashier, Mika! It is SO WORTH checking out if you are in that area (lucky you)! I rate it a 10++!!!

I like visiting the mill because it carries so many local products. I love to give local gifts when I can. It's nice to know where your food is coming from

The War Eagle Bridge, a one lane steel bridge built in 1907, adjoins the War Eagle Mill, and carries County Route 98 over War Eagle Creek in Benton County, Arkansas.

My wife and I visited the mill on a very cold day in November. The setting on War Eagle Creek is quite ry peaceful. It is a working gristmill. It is unique as it is an undertow design, where the wheel is turned from water flowing under the wheel not over the top. On the day we visited, the water was too high and temperatures too cold for the mill to work. Note: The building does NOT have central heat or air conditioning, so the inside of the building was very cold due to the outside temperatures which were just at 30 degrees.

The mill gift shop is large with two floors. The third floor is a restaurant, but we didn't eat there. The gift store is extremely well stocked with many locally sourced products. The cashier told me the store is very selective and only sells item from vetted local producers. They sell many flours and baking items which are ground at the mill. We bought the blue corn meal which is not easy to find. On their website, they have lots of recipes using their mill products. There are also products that are not produced locally kitchen items and even collector knives

I liked riding over the wood bridge on my cycle. Scenery is nice. The mill has a working water wheel and garden area. I didn't stay long or go the cavern. It was just one of the stops on my motorcycle route, but next time I'll make a point of spending more time there.

Went here for breakfast. The pancakes were OK. The restaurant is on the this floor, so some climbing is necessary. The staff was barely acceptable.

We spent the morning walking around the store and grounds and walking a short trail at the nearby Hobbs State Park, before coming back to the mill for lunch at the Bean Palace on the third floor. The first two floors have a lot of cool merchandise, from local pottery and jewelry to cookbooks and candy. You can also get coffee roasted just across the bridge, and, as a hobby roaster, I can vouch for both its freshness and taste. Lunch was simple home fare, finished off with cobbler--good thing we had gotten in some exercise first! The view is one you just want to soak in, and I enjoyed visiting with the staff as well. Just a really cool, low-key place to visit!

After our enjoyable tour of the War Eagle Canyon, we made the short drive to visit this old Mill site. A beautiful location on the War Eagle River. We walked halfway over the historic one-lane bridge and spent a few minutes in the historic Mill building shop. The restaurant is currently closed (from March 2020 through the end of 2020) due to Coronavirus pandemic.

The Mill is worth visiting just to take photos of the creek and pasture in the Ozark hills. The restaurant not so much. We got there when they were transitioning from breakfast to lunch. We were only the 3rd table seated and while our server was prompt in taking our order, it took over 30 minutes for the food to come out. I ordered a BLT sandwich with a side of their “famous” beans and my wife had their grilled chicken salad. When I asked why our order was taking so long, I was told the toaster was heating up. The salad came with cold white chicken chunks, not grilled and the hard boiled egg was missing. The BLT was good, but skimpy on the tomatoes. The beans were tasty. The gift shop was okay and the mill machinery interesting but you will see more antiques and gift items at the Cracker Barrel on I-49.

The reason for the two rating is the restrooms; outdoor open pit outhouse toilets which stank very badly. I’m not sure how they pass health inspections without working flush toilets for their food handlers. If you have to “go”, stop first at the Hobbs State Park Visitor center and use their very clean and modern facilities.

Enjoyed out meal at the Mill and there are so many items in the shops to choose from. We bought lots of items to bring home and fix ourselves.

I went with little expectations. They have a great little shop with a lot of fun and unique gifts. The scenery outside was amazing and very relaxing.

Everything about this place is amazing! All staff are friendly and love telling you the history of the mill and surrounding grounds. They truly are a joy to talk to and it’s clear they love their jobs. Watching the mill working was incredible, still being powered by the river. Doesn’t really get another better than that, there’s something about the “good old days “. Loved all the things the general store offered and all the local artists sell unique items. There is a restaurant on 3rd level, heard the food is really good. This is a must see place, nestled in the woods.

Great amenities, amazing location and landscape to relax in. Amanda M, Mandy, and Ayanna provided fantastic service and advice for our trip.

The War Eagle Mill is a great local attraction and the river runs alongside. You can buy flour and many other baking products also kitchen accessories. They have a restaurant that serves delicious food. Well worth a visit.

Made a special trip to see the War Eagle Mill and wasn't disappointed. Friendly people, great food for lunch and an interesting spot with some history behind it.

Easy, pretty drive and just what we wanted to see. The craft festival that was also going on was a bonus.

Saw it and went inside. Interesting history, gift shop and great cornbread. Not too much to see. Just a side stop on the way to Bentonville.

We took a scenic drive from Eureka Springs to War Eagle and was impressed with the War Eagle Mill. Great variety of items, especially organic flours. Very helpful and courteous staff.

We went for the first time on a Sunday early afternoon for a Lasagna lunch special. It was quite good and the serving size generous. The only caution I would mention is that you have to go up three flights of stairs to access the restaurant, so if you're mobility impaired, this could present a problem (I didn't ask but didn't see an elevator). We had driven an hour to get there and met friends. After we we sat ourselves, we were asked if we had reservations. I had inquired about those through Facebook and was told they don't take reservations; apparently they do! Fortunately, they weren't overly busy and served us. Our server was pleasant and attentive. It was a lovely drive and idyllic setting, and I had fun browsing through their store after the meal. Would return!

The food was ok but nothing to rave about. The food was served in styrofoam containers and was average. The upstairs dining room was ok. Overall ok but surely not any Wows that would be a memorable experience.

Second visit this year, still amazing. The scenery around the Mill is fabulous both in the summer and the fall, although the tree colours are not so good this year. The bridge is just awesome and a stunning backdrop to the mill.

We arrived late afternoon and sampled the peach cobbler and the pecan cobbler with ice cream....scrumptious

The staff were very pleasant and happy to chat with us and the service was very quick. Very very reasonable prices too, so all good.

They have a wonderful array of flours and batter mixes, jams and chutneys and their gift shop has lots to suit all tastes.

Service dogs only allowed inside

Definitely worth a visit.

We went early (at 9:00 a.m.) and were the only visitors. Definitely worth a visit and walk across the bridge.

We enjoyed the ride out to this location - winding road - and also enjoyed the mill. The shop inside was very nice, having a variety of goods for sale. The bridge was great to walk over to the other side of the river for a great picture of the mill.

This was our second visit to the War Eagle Fair. There are always a couple hundred exhibitors. All of them were under tent cover. We mainly enjoy just looking and eating the food. Get there early to avoid the traffic, or else you could be in line for hours! We arrived at about 9 am on Friday, and there wasn't any traffic. We entered on the Sharp's Show side...It is a separate fair not associated with War Eagle. The mill is beautiful, and there were lots of chairs to sit on by the creek.

A busy place that is always humming with people. They have lots of goods to buy and is a neat little store to browse around in. The quality of the food items is top notch.

This is a really beautiful place. We looked inside the mill and it was working, grinding flour. Lovely gift shop, very friendly staff. Outdoor toilets, that was cute! We had our little dog with us and we able to walk him around outside so it is pretty friendly. Just not inside, which is totally understandable. I took many pictures outside and inside. Really enjoyed it.

The menu is a basic down home, country fare. The beans and cornbread are an excellent choice. The staff are always helpful in describing the choices on their menu, and in the gift shop, we have noticed the cordiality of the staff.

Historic War Eagle Mill is a must-see when visiting Rogers. There's no other place like it. The Bean Palace on the 3rd floor serves ham, beans and cornbread which is the favorite staple. The sandwiches are good and they make their own bread. The gift shop on the 2nd floor is fun. And the 1st floor with all the jams, jellies, syrups, flours, oats etc is great for gifts or personal, and watching the water wheel turn and crush the wheat to make the flour is fascinating.

Good place to visit to see a historic working grist mill. Also interesting to walk across the bridge and have a photo op of War Eagle Creek and the mill.

Came back for yet another visit. Found it to be under new management. After the heavy rains and flood the bottom floor had been renovated. It is really nice and still operating. It's still such a great visit with all the usual gifts and grains ready for purchase. 2nd floor seemed to tha same as always and then the restaurant on the 3rd floor. We were there between meals , so werent hungry.
The Mill is situated in a shaded area beside the river . In the midst of a beautiful valley. It's like stepping back in time. Wonderful Peaceful place to visit.

The wife and I went during War Eagle weekend. Although there were thousands of people there the staff had smiles and took the time to answer questions. The mill was working grinding corn. A very interesting place to visit.

We really liked seeing the working mill. The old bridge was interesting. The restaurant was great. Use restrooms first or last. They are basically a fancy outhouse by the parking lot. We didn't realize no indoor restrooms until we hiked up 3 floors to cafe. Lol.

We visited in the morning and took lovely low-light autumn photos before going in the mill. This is the 4th building for the mill, which was destroyed by fires and floods at different times. It has an undershot water wheel on the river that originally operated 2 turbines, but now the power goes from the wheel to the mill. The mill isn't original. It is now an old portable mill with vertical wheels in a box. They are grinding different kinds of corn. The miller was very knowledgeable and explained how this mill works while it was running.

Fun place to visit. The water wheel was running the day we went. Good photo place and place for gift shopping for pancake mix, jelly, etc

Great place to stretch those legs and learn some interesting historical facts also. Beautiful picture setting

We stopped here on our way up to Branson. We ate lunch upstairs in the cafe which was nothing spectacular but hit the spot. The jellies in the store were fabulous! I bought the plum jelly. I also got some pecan pralines that were delicious. We did the cave tour which was so cool and interesting. If you have any major back issues or mobility issues this may not be a good tour for you as you have to stoop kind of low in parts of the cave and the older folks struggled a bit. If you are tall you will have to duck quite a bit. The walk back up the hill was a bit intense but there were several stopping points with a bench. With that being said if you don’t mind a little workout and adventure you will love this.

I attended the War Eagle Craft Fair this year for the first time with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It was crazy! We sat in traffic for two hours - from 12:30-2:30, just to get to the parking lot. Lesson learned! There were many people there, many vendors, lots of good, etc. I do not recommend bringing children- the wait in the car is reason enough! The area is beautiful- that's a great reason to go in itself. I returned again on Sunday because I wasn't able to see everything on Saturday since it all closed down at 5:00. Sunday morning was MUCH better- I did not have to wait to park at all- and we didn't get there until 9:00am. I definitely recommend going in the morning for sure. I got many Christmas gifts, including a purse for me, and beard oil for my husband. The mill was gorgeous, note the photo. I would love to return when the craft fair is not going on so that I can visit the mill itself and enjoy the calm of the outdoors instead of the madness of the craft fair! I will be returning!

We really enjoyed the mill and dam. The store was very cute. We didn't purchase anything. However my sister bought blue berry pancake mix previously and loved it.

Visited here with our biking group. It looks like thay have a very nice lunch offering, our first stop after breakfast, not ready for lunch. A lot of history here at the mill. Enjoyed the hour we visited here.

A hidden gem to explore off the beaten path and set in the most beautiful 700 acres in the Ozarks. Build in 1832 and lovingly restored the earliest stone ground mill in the Ozarks is set in a bucolic green valley surrounded by the Ozark mountains and is just off the easy to drive, scenic highway. The War Eagle river runs through the property and was harnessed in the early 1800's to power a fascinating stone ground mill. The mill is in full operation and grinds organic Arkansas products which are for sale at very reasonable prices right at War Eagle. Watch the products being ground right in front of you on stone wheels and the original fully water powered pulley system. Browse the shop, watch the water wheel in action, tour the property on your own or even take a dip or go fishing in the river. It's all free and a fascinating stop for everyone. Be sure to pick up some yummy and healthy stone ground products while your there.

We have attended the War Eagle Fall Festival several times, along with other fall festivals in NW Arkansas during the same weekend. The War Eagle Festival is about 63 years old (I think) and a favorite.. The vendors bring their crafted items for sale. War Eagle is a beautiful setting, a true, working mill, along a clear, flowing river. The weather is balmy, leaves usually taking on fall colors, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though War Eagle is out in the country, Siri (my gps) found it without a problem.

The crafts are mostly original and attractive. The creative crafts are always eye-opening; makes you want to whip out your wallet and buy, buy and buy! In fact, this year we rented a car with a bigger trunk, in anticipation.

The actual mill, itself, sells ground grains and other cooking/food related items. The mill is open year around (I think) and would be interesting for children and adults alike. And sitting on the bank of the river, picnicking is always a pleasant way to spend idyllic time with family and friends..

Awesome stop on our trip. Great food and great atmosphere along the water. The waterfall and mill works was great.

Located somewhat south of Hwy. 12 between Hobbs State Park and Rogers, the War Eagle Mill is something unique for the entire family.

This old but renovated mill has a working waterwheel just outside the back of the building that dips down into a spring and ultimately provides the energy that makes it all function as it did in days past. On the first floor there are items for sale including jellies and jams and corn meal and items for the kitchen.

The second floor is an exhibit area while the third floor houses a small restaurant highlighting sandwiches and beans and cornbread.

Before you leave, be sure to take the kids out back and let them see the water wheel in action.

This was a neat stop for us, but more than the mill itself, or even the undershot water wheel, I was fascinated by the flood history of the building and how they've been able to recover so well. Being from Houston, I am familiar with flooding and how devastating it can be. Standing in that building, I wouldn't have guessed that it had been largely covered in water less than 2 years ago. Mika was great and full of information and even sent us down the road to Rogers State Park, which we absolutely loved. The only thing I wished was different would be that the mill was still actively grinding something - it was running, but had completed all of its grinding for the day when we were there, so it didn't hold as much interest for my kiddos. But overall a really neat historic place.

Our National Young Farmer and Agribusiness Association tour stopped by the Mill. What a beautiful surprise it was. The old mill and the store were very neat but the restaurant on the top floor was amazing. The pinto beans and blackberry cobbler were "smack your mama good". This was such a gem off the beating path.

We stopped at War Eagle Mill on a recent Sunday morning in June.

I bought some War Eagle Mill pancake mix, biscuit mix, elderberry jelly, and some locally made bar soap. The store inside the mill isn’t very big, but there is a good variety of unique, “old fashioned “ or locally made items.

I also walked out on the nearby bridge. The water below is really clear, and it’s possible to see fish and turtles swimming around. It’s strange to be on the wooden floored bridge when someone drives over it. Just stay way over to the side!

Step back in time to a picturesque setting with lots of hand-made crafts and old world charm. Photo-ops abound in this Arkansas landmark.

We drove from Eureka Springs and it took about 30-45 minutes to drive there. The store had a good selection of food products from grits to pickled brussel sprouts. I purchased some pumpkin butter and strawberry spread but have not tried it yet. They have dry soup mixes and stone ground meal. They have an old water wheel which is working and it interesting. There is a cafe upstairs but we did not eat there. Very low key but pleasant.

War Eagle Craft Fair is a long standing staple of the craft fair world. Such an amazing venue! Beautiful wooded area with an awesome bridge!

The food was good. Service was great. Place was clean and inside an interesting historical building. A little off a major highway but definitely worth the drive.

Can't say enough about this working mill.Everyone was polite and the restaurant was a pleasant surprise.

It was a beautiful drive out and it was worth it,but it was not as great as we had expected. THE restraint had only a breakfast buffet that was average at best and the sold us buffets but they were out of almost every thing . They did not want to refill some of the items because it was almost time to turn over to lunch beffet. The bathrooms there were very bad. This place was over sold in the travel book.

Had the breakfast buffet this morning. Website indicated free coffee, soda etc. with buffet. Got the bill where they charged for the drinks. Turned out to be double the cost!
They said sorry, website is wrong. No effort to honor the website and a too bad so sad attitude. Won't be going there again. Mill is nice and store is nice. Buffet was fair.

This was our first visit since the floods forced closing and renovation. This is a very nice restaurant. The food is good. Chef Dennis prepares a variety of dishes. I particularly like breakfast. Be aware if your having trouble climbing stairs you need to be aware the restaurant is on the top floor. I did not see an elevator. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are acceptably reasonable.

This old mill is really quaint, and with the river running right beside it and it's 100 year old bridge... it's a nice place to stop by. There is a gift shop that is nice and apparently a little restaurant upstairs, though we didn't go to it. Enjoyed it.

Gorgeous mill don’t forget to have lunch here they have amazing food too ❤️❤️ Great motorcycle ride here the roads are hard to beat in this area for riding.

Very relaxing environment. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Amazing to see the mill rebuilt through so many setbacks (fires and floods). The mill is still operational. Lots of yummy locally made jams and jellies.

We timed this lovely drive so that we could enjoy a meal and tour the mill and surrounds afterwards. We loved the top floor cafe and view of the mill stream and water wheel. We each chose different lunches. I opted for the famous beans and cornbread which was excellent! We walked through all the locally made art in the second floor and decided to make our selections on the first floor from the locally made food products. I chose packaged mixes containing ground flour from the mill and jams. We also walked across the mill steam bridge up the road to work off our lunches. One of my favorite stops!

The mill was smaller than I anticipated but interesting to read the history. The bridge is unique and fun to walk and drive over. Nice gift shop/top notch cafe. Drive on 12 to get there has beautiful vistas.

Restaurant closed (Covid), but the gift shop was as welcoming as ever. Beautiful fall day, great view of the mill and the river.

Charming mill in a beautiful area off the beaten path. Friendly staff and nice selection of local crafts, pottery, soap, etc.

Such a nostalgic place to visit and relax for a while. We loved the mill store and the great quality of things they have.
I wish they had more historical information about the soldiers that were there but we had a great time!

Great place to visit, this is a working mill, has a small café upstairs, watch flour and other mixes being ground on the stone grinding wheels, buy all kinds of flour, jams and jelly also cookware and some some local craft items, there are quiet times usually Mon-Fri and busy ones especially when the craft shows are on, maybe this also is a good time for all the family to go, lots of stalls, food etc. no rides. Check out the v old iron bridge too.
You may want to call ahead for hours of operation at 866-492-7324

My boyfriend insisted I give the War Eagle Mill 5 stars because they had free popcorn on the second floor. I almost kept it at 4 stars because there was no tour of the mill, but I understand the limits of a tourist season. Plenty of parking up front, definitely not wheelchair accessible inside at all.

I put this site high on our list because I'm a big home baker and I wanted to buy some fresh ground flour to take home. The benefits of driving opens up so much space for souvenirs!

The mill is three floors, the top is a restaurant. Outside is the still-working mill and the cutest one-way bridge--three guys were fishing off it just after the rain and cars slowly rumbled past.

There was no mask policy, but about half the patrons wore one inside. The restaurant was nearly full at lunch on Saturday, and we got a brief sample while looking at menus.

I bought my bag of flour, the t-shirt and popcorn salt for my mom. A great selection of home goods and Arkansas themed souvenirs.

Enjoyed the scenery and the operating mill itself. Anyone going just had to try the third floor restaurant and especially their signature pinto beans bowl (or cup). Great side trip out of Rogers, AR.

Nice views of the river, right outside the windows! The gift shop offers a wide variety and is a fun place to shop for unique items. Quaint restaurant upstairs. Beautiful drive to & from.

Good food , nice gifts , organic flour and other organic types of food like dips etc..
Twice a year they have a Craft Fair .

Anytime I'm in the area I visit the mill! Breathtaking scenery and friendly staff. You have to check this place out!

This isn't too far out of the way and a fun stop. The history of the mill is interesting and the area is beautiful. We missed the famous Fall Craft Fair by just a few days, unfortunately. The shop in the mill sells many different flours, mixes and grains, as well as other souvenir items. We got a delicious blackberry cobbler with ice cream to go from the restaurant on the third floor (The Bean Pot) and ate it down by the river. Make sure to walk across the bridge to see the historic houses, barns and the two alpacas in the back yard.

We enjoyed visiting the mill. Wish it had been operating, but it was being repaired. Loved the bridge.

I recently needed some items from the War Eagle Mill to finish vendor gift bags and drove all the way out there only to discover they were closed. I called the number on the door, and the precious lady offered to meet me at their warehouse with the items I needed and let me pay with a credit card. IMPECCABLE customer service!!

The mill is fun to see. There is a lot of history behind it. There is a creek the runs by it and a gorgeous field.

For many years I had heard from friends about how wonderful War Eagle Mill was. It must have gone downhill because we were sorely disappointed. The person in the store, while not outright rude, was not welcoming or friendly. The cafe was not open and it just seemed a bit run down. We did get a few pictures though.

Rainy day; river running high; spring green forest views. Perfect day to introduce Saint Louis visitors to this Arkansas experience. Delicious food that sticks to your ribs (and likely hips). Recommend the potato/bacon soup -- thick and filled with huge chunks of bacon. I planned to save room for dessert by forgoing the cornbread. But it looked too good -- one bite turned into several. Yummy. Of course, had to splurge on the blackberry cobbler. Never a disappointment. Tip: build in extra time to browse the gifts found on two floors of the mill (steps involved) and chat with friendly staff. Gifts to take home no matter where you are visiting from.

We loved seeing the old mill. The woman working gave us a personal tour as they aren’t doing full tours now due to covid. We learned a lot about the mill and purchased some jams (unsure on how good those are but they look amazing). Only 4 stars since there isn’t a ton to do around here.

We have gone to other mills before, so we had to check it out. 3 story building. Store on first 2 floors. Restaurant on the 3rd. Awesome bridge next to the mill.

We have been here a few times and really enjoyed it every time. Nice gift shop and restaurant in a great location. Check to see when they have their craft show, hundreds of great venders come to sell their country products

If you are in the area, I would definetely recommend visting here. You can take amazing photo's and they offer great food as well!

I have been here many times. The drive here is only about 20 minutes from Rogers but is a very pretty drive. This is something you just don't see that often anymore and is worth a visit. You can get a lot of really cool pics from the bridge, from the other side of the bridge and on up the hill when leaving the site. Most time you will find people fishing and swimming in the river. Inside you will find all kinds of souvenirs, food products and evena restaurant.

Food and other prices way inflated!!! $12 for a turkey leg. $10 for a corn dog. Mud everywhere! No wash stations at tiolets!

Beautiful working mill on a very scenic river. The giftshop is marvelous and extensive. The grounds are well kept and parking is ample. Must stop for photo enthusiast.

Nice visit on our way home. Had lunch. Enjoyed the mill, gift shop and scenery. The jelly is amazing. Had the taco salad on cornbread. Glad we stopped.

We went to War Eagle Mill for the first time in years and it was sad. The riverside setting is still beautiful. The outside of the building looks the same. But open the doors and the magic is gone. You can no longer follow the process from bagged grains down the shut to the massive water-driven grinding stones. A small enclosed (electric?) grinding machine is in one corner and the rest of the main-floor room is filled with shiny packaged products for sale, not an original cloth bag in sight The second floor is gifts and souvenirs; lovely but hardly unique. The restaurant is on the third floor, walk-up, and we found the food to be between mediocre and tasteless. (My "ciabatta" bun appeared to be a hamburger bun that had been grilled in a panini press.) It's a shame that the powers that be didn't see fit to build an annex for the sales/dining area and leave the mill intact. Gone is another piece of history. How sad. Oh and if it's an issue for you: the only restroom facilities are outhouses across the parking lot.

Stopped in to have breakfast and it was served buffet style. Some of the worst scrambled eggs we have ever had. The biscuits were hard and cold. We got there early thinking everything would be fresh. What a surprise!

We LOVE War Eagle Mill with it's history and beautiful scenery. Will definitely go again! Mika Dyer is the BEST story teller/historian to round out the visit!! Her knowledge is the BEST!! Thanks Mika!!

Such a nice place to visit. Peaceful wonderful scenery. Nice little restraunt and love the mill. And it's a favorite place in the fall for the fair

A group of us come to War Eagle yearly and always come away with amazing finds. Food, clothes, jewelry, signs, window frames, you name it, they have it. And our son is always excited with the food I bring home and looks forward to my yearly trip to War Eagle!

I unfortunately expected fresh bread and pastries. None available. It was picturesque but not worth the long drive to Rogers. It is worth it if it's a stop along the way but not worth going just for the Mill visit.

Woderful afternoon spent with friends at the craft fair.. Lots of great vendors. Goo time was had by all

Lived in Rogers 13 years, finally made it to the mill.
Outdoor restrooms make it an authentic experience!!

Mill inside split into 3 levels, the first 2 a store and museum.
The store sells several of their products. I had hoped to purchase some local stuff.... but got disappointed instead.

Pecan something syrup sounded like a fantastic addition to my coffee creamer! But then I read the ingredients... CORN SYRUP!
MADE FOR War Eagle Mill, not BY.
Noticed that on several items... NO THANK YOU!

Restaurant is cute, had good specials, and price is reasonable.
Choice of Slaw or Potato Salad. Since it was during the slow season, I asked which was made most recently and was told the slaw. Ordered it.... Since I used to make slaw for a restaurant I worked in, I could not believe this was 'made' on site. It was 'ok', but I expected better.

If you are in the area for whatever, and want a decent place to eat that is NOT 'fast food' or a chain, this should work for you.

I was impressed at how well the mill has been maintained and how all of the equipment works exactly like it should.
I was amazed to see the pictures of the floods and see the markings inside the building of how high the water has been over the history of the mill. Very interesting. The items that they produce just amaze me. If you go ,you must walk across the bridge and check out that creek. Beautiful view.

This is a unique place. Make the drive by following the signs - the GPS leads you a longer path... Upon getting there use the restrooms outside at the other side of the parking lot BEFORE going into the mill if you are having a meal. There are no rest rooms in the mill and after climbing the steps you will want to finish your meal up there. The food is good and the water flavored with lav plant is refreshing. the view from the window is good and if the one or two tables by it are available take them and enjoy for the meal. Afterwards take home some flour from the first floor. We had many baked items from the bags we bought and are planning to ordering on line since we like them. The view from the first floor window down on the mill wheel and slough is cool to put on your phone video. The views outside are neat as well with the bridge and mill. Take your swimming suit out or roll your pants up and take a dip under the bridge if you have time.

Disposable utensils, dishes and drinks. Only one menu with four choices. Manager very unsure of herself and apologetic of every thing. Slow food service with grumbling of how difficult it was to provide a scoop of ice cream. What's up? Same old decor and ham and beans with corn bread but just styrofoam plopped down on table with even the salt and pepper disposable is disappointing. Old dishes, honey bears, fresh pies, with tea pots, glass jugs of water, Flowers on each table with warmth and heartfelt smiles and wholesome service like it used to be would be wonderful and worth it especially for such a gorgeous landmark.

We visited the War Eagle Mill on a recent trip to the Northeast Arkansas area. Although it was cloudy and raining, the setting was very beautiful (the drive to the Mill is also enjoyable). The staff at the Mill gift shop was very helpful and friendly. The shop offers a varied selection of items made in the local area. Highly recommend!

As you park you see and hear the falls over the dam. When you walk over the Bridge watch the undershot mill wheel turning and the fish in War Eagle Creek. Then go inside for breakfast and shopping. as a break listen to the explanation of stone grinding while the grinder clicks away. Buy the stone ground corn and other meals including the marvelous Buckwheat (not wheat and Gluten free)! wade in the creek or picnic. Come to the War Eagle Fair in April or October for Juried (means good) crafts. Side trip to the War Eagle Cavern. A great day!

Corn Bread and Beans Vegetarian style available or with Ham. Delicious Delightful and A Must See. Historic place! Bring your family and friends!

My family and I drove out to the Mill from Rogers-proper one Saturday in October 2013. The drive itself was pleasant, especially since we were pretty unhurried and had the whole day to spend.

We spent an hour or so at the mill and exploring the grounds. It really felt like we stepped back in time.

There really wasn't much to this, but glad we checked it out. We did not eat at the restaurant so I cannot vouch for that. Not really a kid thing, but it's free and something to see.

My husband likes cornbread. I mean he really likes cornbread. I have spent a lot of time trying to duplicate what he says is his “Aunt Lena’s” cornbread. I have her hand-written recipe, but he said something just wasn’t right.

So, while touring around in north Arkansas, we came across War Eagle Mill. They happened to be running that day. The aroma of freshly made meal is just wonderful!

We were met by the storyteller. She led us on a tour of the entire place. We heard history, folklore, jokes, saw all the local crafts, and had some delicious samples. We made a friend, too.

My husband thinks this cornmeal is what he was looking for. I think Aunt Lena was holding back just a little!

We stopped around 8:30 a.m as they were opening. On the 1st floor P was bringing out the samples, then offered to let us watch him start the mill and the under shot water wheel. AMAZING.
He offered samples of freshly milled blue corn, which was oddly delicious.
Everyone else there was welcoming and hospitable, each welcoming us and on the second floor we were encouraged to use the antique register that was said to belong to the Wyatt Earp family.
The scenery and history of the mill is amazing.
We left with some groceries. You can’t pass up what is offered there.

We ate lunch on the top floor and I had the BLT. Its not hard to make but this was cold from the toast to the bacon and the Tomato was room temp. It was clear no took the time to even throw this thing in a microwave. It was disappointing to say the least. The other food was warm and good but the BLT had a long way to go to get to good. As for the mill, there was a guy at the front checking people out that were making purchases but no one around to talk about the mill, its history, its ownership, its legacy. You can find some of that along the walls above the stuff they sell there that has been ground but just expected more. Not something I recommend or would take my family again.

This is a reconstruction of a working mill. The mill which is interesting to watch is on the first floor, and a gift shop is on the second. The stairs to the third floor get one to the small but pleasant restaurant which features ham and beans (delicious!) and sandwiches. We enjoyed our lunch and the attentive service. Note that restrooms are not in the building but are adjacent.

This is just a place to go shopping. Not really sure why it is a place to see. The drive to the mill was lovely as is the river but would not recommend the place.

Off the beaten path, but easily reached and well worth the trip. The mill grinds all sorts of grains (wheat, corn, buckwheat, etc.) and all are available for sale. BUT, there's much more to see in the mill building--crafts, knives, knick-knacks, etc--all on the second floor, and a delightful little cafe on the 3rd floor. No elevator, so be prepared for the climb. Food was great and service wonderful. All in all a neat place to visit. And, as a plus, you can swim and wade in the War Eagle River--and fish if you have a license or are under 16 (I think).

things for everyone of all ages, my son and I had a great time. We went during War eagle craft fair. Lots of things to look at. Some a little pricey but it was a good time.

visited the mill, had beans and cornbread, which was awesome. Watched the mill process cornmeal and purchased a bag of Corn Grits. Nice facility.

We went to the War eagle Mill to eat at The Bean Palace Cafe and we didn't realize there was a working mill and store associated with it. We really enjoyed the pretty drive there and walking part way over the 100+ year old bridge- because there is no sidewalk and it's a one lane bridge.

When seen it on a special and we wanted to see it for our selves. It was very interesting and beautiful scenery. Loved the old bridge that is still in use. Well worth the trip if you like history we did not get to try the restaurant but it on the list for our next visit.

Really neat old working mill where they grind the flour they use and sell. Also a small restaurant on site.

My visit yesterday was so much fun; like traveling back in time. We ate beans and cornbread in the restaurant and the pinto beans were better than my mom's. (Please don't tell my Mom). The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful. My only negative was the outhouse restrooms. I went into the ladies thinking it would be okay, but the stalls were so dark, I couldn't see. Surely, the restaurant could also indoor restrooms for all the visitors.

It's just east of Rogers, just off Hwy 12. We were there for a big craft festival. For me the mill was much more interesting than the craft fair. The mill sells flour and other thing produced there, even packages them like the old days.

Once I spot the first leave fall from a tree in early fall I begin longing for the War Eagle Mill. The smell of apple cider, biscuits and gravy, festival foods, the changing of the trees, hundrends of hand made items for sell, the excitement of hundreds of people looking at all of the wonderful items for sell, and the crisp fall air. It's a wonderful experience that all should experience at least once.

A little bit out of the way but a historic still working grist mill next to a 100+ year old steel cantilever bridge over War Eagle creek. Nice restaurant on top flour and retail store on bottom two flours selling local products

The rebuilt mill is in an out-of-the-way spot along a country creek, and provides grain products milled on site using water power. There is a gift-shop with the usual country crafts, and the third floor is a small country café - which we did not try. But the best part is the mill building and the adjacent original bridge. Great for photos, or even a picnic under the trees.

Great to see grinding of corn. Very interesting. Loved seeing the business and buy products and eat upstairs in Bean Palace.

Restraunt up stairs is pretty need. Gift store has pretty good food. You can watch them stone ground the flour or corn meal they are working on that day. We bought Blue corn meal and it has made corn bread says fun and an i retesting home made corn dogs for 4th of July!

We stopped here because it sounded "fun". That it is! The river and landscape around is so pretty. This is a wonderful place for taking family or wedding photos, etc. The mill sells their flour products, have a fun mercantile, and even has a great third level restaurant. Fun for couples or families for sure.

Plans to bring the mill back to life have been delayed by extensive recent tornado damage to surrounding acreage. The mill building is quite attractive, however offerings inside are very limited, especially the restaurant. It is located on third floor making it difficult to reach for seniors. Overpriced, unappealing food options are served on paper plates. Outside, a small pen with a couple of animals that children may pet is the only real attraction. I wish the new owners future success with their desire to bring back a historic building. The opportunity is theirs!

After a good hike around Hobs state park, this is a good stop off for a drink or food. It is a working mill and the smell of freshly baked bread is wonderful. The mill is full of gifts and treats to buy and the cafe is on the third floor. The food there was all good and the service was excellent.

I had a friend visiting from out of town, looking for things to do so we did it. It is so picturesque. Really has a unique history and although you don't need a lot of time there, it is a fun place.

The ride to it is great with all the beautiful scenery. The bridge to it was nice and the mill is nice looking. The items inside was made locally but nothing out of the ordinary and a little bit expensive. Nice but pricey.

A quaint little place. Lunch was delicious. You can see some of the working parts of the mill. Loved the gift shop; you can buy a lot of products made by them. The creek was nice and cool.

This is a working mill. It's a great place to visit and buy some really good products. The location is a bit out of the way, but it certainly is a great stop in NWA.

This is a fantastic and historic stop to make. The drive getting there is beautiful. Make time to eat at the restaurant on the top floor. If it is summertime, plan to spend time wading in the cold waters and enjoy the sunshine!

This is a nice stop after we hiked at Hobbs Park. Beautiful building and grounds. Not really much for the kids to do, but it was a gorgeous day and fun to explain how flour used to be made as the mill is right there.

The river was flowing nicely and the scenery was beautiful. We had a simple yet filling breakfast with down to earth, friendly staff. The man working the mill spent a great deal of time answering our questions and sharing the history of the mill. He was quite knowledgable and has a passion for his work.

WE went there Veteren's Day. Lot's of people there and the old mill and water are always fun. My mom can't climb all the stairs to go to the second floor but, does enjoy just looking around the first floor. Have been here MANY TIMES. It is always a great place to just get out and look at the river and walk around.

We always try to stop when in the area. The products produced here are very good. Always love seeing a part of history still being used like it was in the past. Not many working Mills still around. Friendly staff always willing to answer any questions. Out of the normal traffic flow but worth a stop and the drive.

Really cool place to visit.The restrooms are like old timey outhouses and really neat and clean. The shop provides great grains and gifts.

We really enjoyed visiting the mill. When arriving there we happened to be there for the War Eagle Mill Fair.

The mill is an interesting visit. be careful of the bridge nearby which doesn't allow much extra room for cars to pass.

Mid October has two huge craft fairs at War Eagle. The lines of cars waiting to park were horrid (1.5 hrs) but the vendors were excellent. Try the strawberry crepes. They were delicious!

Love this place! Go to the restaurant for great bean soup and fresh cornbread. Fish in the creek. Lots of gifts for family and friends. History.

We purposely start out early to arrive a little before the opening. We crossed the recently repaired and rededicated bridge that spans the water. The three story mill so attractive nestled in an peaceful setting. The history of the mill over time has had many owners and it continues to grind grain to sell. Old grinding stones on display and the waterwheel still turns as they mill the grain. The best photos are across the bridge opposite the mill. You can include the spillway along with the mill itself. The first floor has the working mill, packaged grain, jellies and craft items. Second floor all crafts and restaurant on the third level. This historic treasure stands the test of time

Has a good breakfast and you can buy Muffin and Pancake mixes as well. Its a nice stop on a motorcycle ride for a break.

A chance to step back in history. It is a nice place to stop by for a visit. I didn't eat there but will plan to on our next trip.

Using the outhouse was a neat experience.

Went to War Eagle before the craft faid... had lunch at the bean palace.. great food... Attended the Craft Fair... its a must see..

This was a cool photo stop. Loved the one lane road & bridge too. Fun to explore the outside of the red building and see the working mill wheel and the bridge from underneath by the water.

Great crafts we did all, did some 2 times. Cracker Burrell good place to eat and Atlanta bread off of 85 was great

While on a motorcycle trip decided to visit this out of way spot. Great views on the way there and some other interesting places near by. Very interesting working mill with several things for purchase that they make. Nice gift shop and the food smelled delicious even though we didn't eat there.

The mill is very small but interesting. Nice location to walk around & take a break from your road trip. Staff was very friendly. Sandwiches & soup deli on 3rd floor, small but food was good. They were short handed the day we were there but we're very efficient.

I try to go to the mill area a couple times a year it is nice for picnic or eating in the mill dining area.

We were staying in Springdale and drove over just to check out the Mill and have a late lunch. It was well worth it, pinto beans with ham hocks and authentic cornbread. We are southerners and this is how it's done! Splurged with blackberry cobbler which was delicious. Brought home some yellow and blue cornmeal and real grits, can't wait to try them!

This was located quite a ways from the main highway you turn down to go towards the War Eagle Cavern. Then it is still a ways on from the cavern road turn going on down from there as well. There is nothing but residential homes and nature until you get into the sight. The Mill has been re-built more than once. The building is a replica of the original. It is new however. Inside there is a working grinder/mill with belt housing but otherwise you are inside a new clean, wooden building. There are flours ,grains, jams, ect you can purchase. There is no history lesson here. The second floor houses more knick knacks to purchase but nothing spectacular. Mostly retail type kitchen wares and a few kid's toys. I am glad I went but was disappointed there is nothing to do here. There is no big milling process going on and the items for sale besides the grains and jellies is about all anyone would want to check out. I didn't go up to the third floor restaurant. They do have real outhouses if you need to use the facilities. Looking down to the river was interesting. Overall if you're in the area you might go ahead and check it out. BUT if you aren't then it's not a you're missing out destination if you pass it by.

My boyfriend and I visited the mill and went hiking out at Hobbs State Park. The food was great. I grew up in Mississippi and the beans and cornbread reminded me of home.

Reeking of history and very interesting place to visit. One of the few Gris mills still in operation and many antiques to explore. Had a nice little store with products that were actually processed on site and sold in the store. The mill had a restaurant upstairs that offered home style cooking. Appeared to be good fishing as several people were fishing at the lake that ran behind the mill. Our group thought the one lane historic bridge was very interesting that crossed over the lake.

The mill is very interesting. The bridge and falls over the dam are very scenic. The food at the resturant on the 3rd floor of the mill is good. No complaints!

Enjoyed our ride through the hills to this quaint mill. Very picturesque setting near an old bridge and running brook. Lots of flour to choose from as well as jams & jellies etc. to take home

War Eagle Mill and the surroundings are beautiful. We walked across the bridge, and had lunch inside the Mill. Not a whole lot to do, but because of the beauty of the area, it was definitely worth going to see!

The store had some great stuff with good prices. It was very cool to see the grinding process from a water powered mill. Staff was friendly and helpful. Gift shop on the second floor was also worth the stop.

We have been to War Eagle Mill several times now and we always have a nice, relaxing time. The folks here are all very friendly and nice, always eager to talk with you and answer any questions about the mill and how it works. The restaurant on the 3rd floor is pretty good. The only food we can comment on is the beans & cornbread as that is the only thing we've ever ordered. We have a tendency when we find something we really like, we stick with it. After eating, we get a glass of tea to go and walk around outside, make our way down to the creek, or just sit under the shade trees and relax. This is a wonderful place to get away from it all and spend some down time.

We picked a rainy day to travel to the Mill and we were not disappointed. Very educational, nice drive and friendly staff. Had lunch upstairs. Very homemade and personalized. Would stop in again.

very interesting place, nice restaurant on the third floor, a bit of a climb to get there but well worth it . could feel the whole building shake when they engaged the grinding stone mechanism

Stopped here for a refreshment and rest on our bike ride. Beautiful scenery with a really neat history of the mill. Still functions as designed! Lots of jams and jellies to purchase and other goods. Bridges is really cool for photo opportunities. Friendly staff and a must see if you are nearby!

This is a neat little store that sells a variety of things, and small jars of jams, jellies, and ever pickles. It still has a working mill, which was pretty cool to see.

What used to be a quaint, authentically historic stop on our annual tour of the Ozarks has become a tourist trap, complete with laminate floors and plastic bags full of the products milled on-site. Gone are the creaky wood floors, 1800s cash wrap, display cases, and friendly staff who seemed more like hostesses. Now, when entering the building you open the door to a sterile tourist trap, complete with a clerk who doesn't move from his seat or look up from the computer. I have visited War Eagle Mill probably 6-7 times in the past 10-12 years and it's appeal has been steadily declining the past 3-4 years. I used to look forward to buying a unique kitchen gadget and admiring the artisans' wares on the second floor. This time, I was so disappointed with the "renovated" main floor and it's lack of historic character that I left within ten minutes. So sad to see such a historic building stripped of all of its charm and character during a renovation. And if you're wondering, they no longer sell nutmeg, or at least I don't think they do. When asked, the bored clerk responded to me with a "What the heck is nutmeg?" sort of look. Truly a disappointment. We won't be back.

It was interesting to see the history of the mill. The bridge was cool. The restaurant was the problem. We arrived at 9:45am for breakfast because of an old rack card from the place we were staying and they didn’t have breakfast on weekdays anymore. This was not their fault. We waited and looked around because lunch was scheduled to begin at 10:30. Here were the problems:
1. Waitress didn’t know the soup of the day when asked.
2. Once she asked she said it wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be for a while - so no soup for the soup and salad option.
2. No turkey for the turkey club.
3. The beans came to the table cold.
4. The background music was weird alternative dance music that didn’t fit the atmosphere.
5. The only bathrooms are outhouses.
6. NO ada access to anything other than the first floor and the cafe is on the 3rd floor with steep stairs.

The blt I ordered was tasty. My husband likes his beans (once warmed) and cornbread. The view of the waterfall and bridge was lovely and relaxing from our table.

So just have realistic expectations and enjoy!

When we pulled in we noticed the water wheel next to the building, but had no idea it was still a working mill grinding just about anything you could think of; very cool! There were plenty of taste test items: dips, jams, everything you could possible make from wheat and corn.
Oh yeah, there is a restaurant upstairs but we were not hungry at the time, but plenty of people were going up there to eat.
The one-lane wooden bridge and the adjoining creek were also nice attractions.

What a great working mill with tons of history. You can let the kids get in the water (its only up to their waist) or fish. There is a little cafe with items using the milled corn - the corn bread was delicious.

Don't need to stay long but even a quick visit is good. Our kids loved seeing how grain is made and see a water mill in action.

Experience the best of Arkansas!!!! Top notch experience all the way!!!! The history and attractions, gift shops, food, scenery is all so much fun. Staff is wonderful! Clean, comfortable and cozy!! Can’t wait to visit again! Truly enjoyed my time off and glad I picked the perfect place!!! Perfect getaway.

We have been to War Eagle mill several times. I enjoy seeing the working mill and the store. Great for pictures, a little hard to find but if you are already in the area it is a need place to see.

Not exactly what we expected to see. Yes it is a working mill but mostly a gift shop. We could not see the mill working although we could see the wheel turning in the river. They do sell some unusual items such as local grains. On the third floor is a small clean cafe serving breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Staff was friendly and helpful. Some nice views from upstairs windows. Stay away from the bathroom as it is just a dirty outhouse.

We spent the whole day with several thousand of our friends at the 2016 craft fair. Spacious grounds, plenty of food vendors, and hundreds of craft vendors. Picked up several special Christmas gifts then enjoyed an Indian taco and a foot-long hand-breaded corn dog. Views of the mill and stream were nice. Great people everywhere we went.

Crossing the bridge from one side to another of the grounds/craft fair is always interesting. Traffic is well controlled with a string of vehicles alternating with about a hundred people on foot. Fun!...really, it was!

One drawback is limited seating for respite for senior citizens. Also, because the vendors are in the woods on one side of the creek, it is not wheelchair accessible. So, be prepared to walk all day.

Had a great time, plenty to see, buy and eat at the fair. The mill is nice to see how it operates and chance to take home some great products. The cafe also has some great meals. Great cornbread and beans.

The mill is really interesting itself. The views are impressive. The gift shop was nice. We ate ham and beans and a piece of pie. It was delicious! Worth the drive!

Great for photos. There's a little creek with a small waterfall outside the mill. The preserves you can purchase to take home is great also and very affordable. I love visiting this place when I get the chance.

The restraunt offers homecooking. Pretty good especially the beans and cornbread. The general store is fun to walk around and shop for mixes and dips. Try to go when they are running the old mill. Really educational.
Btw, its a great ride up there on motorcycles too.

This was a nice place to see. Pretty setting with the mill, waterwheel off the water, and bridge. Walked around and watched a father and son fish. Shopped in the shop selling local products, and ate in the restaurant that overlooked the water. Food was ok for a sandwich shop. Pretty and rustic.

I took two outof town guests to the mill. We went to the top floor for lunch. It was horrible, disgusting. My friends are still talking about it months later. The mill, their products and the gift shop is nice, but don't eat the food!! The worst food iI have ever been served anywhere.
