  Food is always really good and the service is awesome. I always go in with two small children and everyone eating and serving is very nice and patient with them and me.

  Bad food, terrible customer service.. My wife and I had eaten breakfast a few times at The Windmill and it was usually good, so we figured we would give them a try for dinner. BIG MISTAKE.The waitress suggested prime rib, so my wife and I both ordered medium-rare prime rib. It came with a meatball minestrone soup, which was salty and contained no meatballs, but was still okay. Then the prime rib came out.My wife’s prime rib was grey and dry, definitely cooked well-done, almost past well-done. Mine was a bit better, but not by much. When the waitress came back over, we showed her the steaks and she agreed that they seemed to be overcooked. She took them back and offered to bring us cuts cooked more to the specifications we had ordered. When she took the steaks back I could hear the cook – I can only assume he was also the owner or manager since he wasn’t fired on the spot – yelling at the waitress that there was nothing wrong with the steaks. His voice was raised enough so that we could hear him out in the middle of the restaurant. He was shouting at the waitress, saying that we didn’t know what medium rare was, that he was running a business, and he wasn’t taking the steaks back. After about a half a minute of hearing him argue with the waitress, I went to the counter and offered to just pay for our drinks and soup and leave. Another cook came out and offered to get us prime rib that was actually medium-rare. He apologized for the other cook and said that he sometimes had trouble reading the tickets. I told him that I have eaten a lot of prime rib and the ones they sent out were definitely not medium-rare. He agreed and offered again to bring us out new steaks.When the new steaks came out, they were medium at best, but at least not grey and dry like the first two. If I owned a restaurant, I would have been embarrassed to serve them as a $17 cut of prime rib. I’ve probably had worse prime rib at a buffet or cafeteria, but Windmill’s prime rib was close to the worst I’ve ever had. At this point, my wife and I just wanted to get out of that restaurant as soon as possible. We could still hear the other cook/owner complaining as we ate. The other cook offered us dessert on the house, but we politely declined, paid, and left.In conclusion: bad food and terrible service (except our waitress, who was very nice). If you really need someplace to have breakfast, I’d try them if everywhere else was too busy, but definitely steer clear of The Windmill for dinner.

  Breakfast only. Best breakfast in town. Takes about 10 minutes for them to make it and serve it to you HOT. French toast and bacon for 4 to 5 bucks.The windmill refers to the Greek isles the owners come from. They’re delightful, as is all the staff. Also, this place seems to care about the community.

  The Windmill is a great family restaurant. The food is all reasonably priced. When you’re there, they treat you like family. The portions are very generous.

  Great breakfast spot. Hearty and homestyle both describe the Windmill. It’s always busy but the experienced staff knows there stuff. I love the melts.
