Gray's Mill Estate

Beautiful setting along the Fox River in Montgomery Illinois. Excellent service and food! Friendly wait staff. Excellent Beer list including some German favorites! And don't forget the Smokey Old Fashion! Best we've had, and we've tried a bunch! It's also a great place to host your wedding or retirement party.

Beautiful location, food was great. We had a wonderful server who was kind and helpful. Only given 2 stars because of the way I was treated by the bartender. My husband was waiting on his beer for over 15 minutes. I walked into the bar area just hoping to maybe help grab his beer that was waiting- instead was told "Sorry honey, I have a lot of tables-ya just have to wait" (not in a polite tone)-there were maybe 5 tables in the entire restaurant. I am very patient and would have understood if slammed but I was so turned off by his attitude. We will not return.

We sat outside along the river, enjoyed a good brew and lunched on the German Sausage Feast (2 of us shared as it was mid afternoon). Delicious. Outdoors was very relaxing, indoors seemed warm and cozy. Menu selections were mouth watering (I've already picked out what I'll have next time!) Friends have told me the meatloaf is fabulous. I'm leaning toward The Baum, depending on time of day I'm there.
