Beautiful place! Great place for unique local gifts. Enjoy the scenic drive and it has a great place to walk your furry friends also!
While traveling through the Ozarks in our RV, we stopped by War Eagle Mill to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste their wonderful food and treats. It exceeded our expectations! War Eagle Mill has a lovely, nostalgic atmosphere, enhanced by authentic Southern hospitality and comforting dishes that truly warm the heart. Our whole family cherished every moment of our visit and we've now become regulars! Thank you for providing such a fantastic venue for families to come together, unwind, and build lasting memories, all while enjoying your diverse menu.
What a lovely place! It’s a wonderfully maintained historic site, and they have a delightful gift shop featuring cornbread mixes and charming decorations.
The entrance is absolutely stunning, and the view of the bridge and river is genuinely breathtaking. The staff was friendly and professional. I could have easily spent another hour soaking in the atmosphere and exploring the area. It's a fantastic place!
While traveling to a boat trip on Beaver Lake, we stopped at War Eagle Mill after noticing the location. The mill, dam, and flowing water are some of the main attractions. There’s a mill on the other side of the building, and the water was quite shallow where we visited. Be cautious when walking in the water, as the rocks can be slippery. It’s also a great spot for fishing, even though we didn’t try it ourselves.

Unfortunately when we arrived the mill itself was closing so we didn't get much time to explore it. Though the one lane bridge is something to enjoy crossing, the waterfall created by the creek that drives the mill is very nice. Also the creek itself issomething to stop and explore. You can creek walk and enjoy the water and scenery. The mill is quite picturesque. Beautifularea. We are hoping to be able to spend more time in the mill itself seeing what it has to offer. It is totally worth checkingout the creek, the quiet, and the view of the mill with the bridge. If it's open go in and explore the mill.
We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon as an afterthought. What a cool place. I'm a history buff, so the place held my interest well. The store is cool; lots of neat things to see. The mill demonstrations are still going almost every day during the week,but not today. The Bean Palace on 3rd floor is no more. They offer a more limited, but still tasty, menu on the secondfloor. Mill wheel turning and the bridge is amazing. Appears to be more to see on the other side, but we decided to save itfor the next trip.
Quaint and fun- the mill wasn't working on our stop today but we enjoyed the views, people, shopping, and food. The cinnamon roll was as big as a 9 cake! They also had locally made soap, food goods, and gifts. Such a fun and historic stop! Beautifulfor family pictures as well.
It's very beautiful here and they take good care of the property. They advertise that it is a breakfast restaurant and we waited 40 minutes and 15 others as well and when we went in to eat it was not a restaurant. There is a stand on the secondfloor for snacks like cinnamonrolls and pop but that was all. Disappointing!
Nice to see what the mill looks like, unfortunately because of the low water level they could not run the mill. But he gave us the history of the mill which was interesting. We were there during their fall festival which had a bunch of vendors. The storehas a bunch of different baking goods you can buy.
