Wow best shakes ever. Gotta try to chicken fried steak. Hours are a little strange so call before you go but worth the trip everytime.

We ate at Sabors in Old Town and thought it was awful so we decided to go somewhere else for desert. Came to this place per our hotel staff suggestion and it was awesome. Love the old time soda bar. Very cute inside and friendly staff. Everything is homemade and well prepared. We wish we would have had dinner here... More

The atmosphere here is great! We went for lunch on a Saturday and were not disappointed. We loved the style and decor. The wait staff was great - funny and friendly. Everyone in our party ordered sandwiches and all were good. I has the muffeletta - excellent! Fountain sodas were really good, too. Definitely worth checking out.

Unchanged for years, the Old Mill Tasty Shop is like stepping into the past. On the edge of the trendy Old Town, the Old Mill still has the counter, the booths and the tables that provide the ambience for excellent food. Good esp. for lunch. Be prepared to wait for a table.

Although Old Mill only serves breakfast on Saturday mornings, it is a breakfast you should not miss. The wait staff has been there for eons, and is super friendly! Since breakfast is only once per week, they do get super busy so GO EARLY! After 10 a.m. you are probably out of luck, as there is not a lot of... More

A Wichita must visit; family owned carrying on a long tradition of excellence. Usually a busy, chattering place with quick turnaround and good service. The menu is adult and child friendly with daily specials. Soda fountain is really cool and fully functional, lots of homemade food and desserts.

We ate here with our two boys while visiting Wichita for a show. The whole block was made of attractive older brick buildings. Parking was easy just around the corner, and free. The menu is fairly simple, but the odds are they'll have. A soup or sandwich you like, not to mention a great selection of ice cream treats. Staff... More

A charming old-fashioned soda shop! Everything is good here -- you really can't go wrong. It is a pretty popular place -- you may have a bit of a wait for a table... But it's worth it!

It's like going back 60 years from the moment you reach for the door. Great atmosphere, perfect malt and wholesome food. I love the peanut butter and banana sandwich with a chocolate malt!

The chicken salad sandwich is a must-have at the Old Mill Tasty Shop, although they offer a nice variety of other types of food. Under the same ownership for oodles of years, you can expect to be served by some of the same employees year in and year out (don't be surprised if one of them calls you "hon"). :-)... More
