History

Established in 1989.

We offer great food at a great price. Our customers love our bone-​in 42oz. juicy Prime Rib and fall-​off-​the-​bone finger-​licking BBQ Ribs. Our soups are made-​from-​scratch and we’re known for our Classic ’89 Margarita and Infusion Bloody Mary.

Mill Creek Inn gets pretty busy on weekends so we added a cocktail lounge where our guests can enjoy a drink while they wait for a table. We also added a patio because when it’s summertime in Minnesota, you need to soak up the sun!

We’re located a stone’s throw from Buffalo Lake. Be sure to stop by Mill Creek Inn for our happy hour and lunch specials Monday through Friday and our dinner specials every night of the week.

Business Owner

As young couple with big dreams and down home roots, we settled in Buffalo Minnesota in 1989 to start a business and family. We discovered Mill Creek Inn was up for sale and we jumped at the chance to own this cozy bar and grill with a loyal local following. Our goal is to nurture this neighborhood staple and create a place where people feel comfortable and welcomed.

The food is always good here, with great specials on food and drinks many times throughout the week. Last time I was here, me and the person I was with walked away from the table to get pull tabs — within 30 seconds they had cleared our table of our partial beers and plates (understandable). The person cleaning the tables apologized and got us new beers for no charge. Very satisfied with the service!

Been here at least 2x a week for the last 10 years. You will not find a better wait staff anywhere. I don’t think I’ve ever run out of beverages or had to ask for another refill. Food is good too constantly getting better

This is our hometown place! We actually walk here when ever we can. We love the casual atmosphere, the very friendly and efficient servers, not to mention the really delicious food! We enjoy .75 tacos on Mondays, the clone burgers on Tuesdays, the French dip is also our favorite! In fact they even have good steak on Wednesday!

We have been to Mill Creek Inn several dozen times since moving into the area. They are a local bar/​grill that only locals know about since it is outside of Buffalo on the far side of Buffalo Lake. They have a fantastic BLT sandwich that is good for a Saturday afternoon lunch. Their prime rib special on Fridays and Saturdays are a little too big for us (or even to share) so we usually have their fish and chips or a juicy hamburger. They do have some great tasting burgers. I recommend eating at the Mill Creek Inn but keep in mind, that on Fridays and Saturdays evenings, you might have to wait up to an hour after 6 pm.

Went here a few days before Christmas, so they were busy, but we got seated right away which was nice. The food was above average, but nothing to write home about. Our server was friendly, however she brought my stepmom who ordered a Bloody Mary 2 of them. «Because it’s buy one get one free.» She didn’t inform us of that before hand however, and my stepmom was the only one at the table who drinks, and we were headed to church! So unfortunately that extra drink had to go to waste because she was unable to drink both of them. Just wish we had been asked about if we would like the extra drink or not, although it was nice it was free. I had the (chicken) taco salad, which was served in a glass bowl with tortilla chips all around the edge. Very good. Other members of my party had the juicy Lucy (she didn’t like it, but she does eat at the original 5 – 8 Club quite often), steak, soup, and kids’ macaroni and cheese. Food came out at a reasonable pace. However the atmosphere was not great for dining, definitely more of a bar than a restaurant even though they claim to be both. We were seated next to the bar (booth right behind it) and could barely hear each other talk over all the loudness of the bar. But it was a good meal, and not too terribly pricey. (Kids’ meals are $ 5, taco salad is $ 10, etc)

Bar is right. You don’t go here for the atmosphere. You go here for the AMAZING prime rib and Bloody Mary drinks! The food here is outstanding! This is a total fave of me and the hubby. The prime rib is beyond words and the prices are cheap considering the quality and quantity of the food you get! Also, some of the NICEST wait staff around. Thumbs up! I love this joint! :D

Mill creek inn is a great spot. Prime rib is great and ribs are ok. Overall, they need to add more seasoning to their dishes before cooking but good texture. The wings were good and price was right. Recommend the prime rib. Season your food more Mill Creek.

They have a Juicy Lucy that you don’t have to travel into the twin cities for. They have pull-​tabs you can watch 40-​somethings waste $ 100s at a time on, and they are relatively quick. It is very «roadhouse» in their appearance and they make no excuses for it so it remains quite likeable.

Omg! This place is a hidden gem! We came here for the bloody Mary’s on Sunday! What o got was actually 2 bloody Mary’s and a meal! My mom and I got the insane bloody and my dad got the yard line or something like that. Mine came with 2 pieces of bacon, 4 chicken wings, 3 onion rings, a beef stick, 2 shrimp, celery, a giant pickle, a pickled egg, cheese and pepperoni stick and a sidecar of beer that was actually a 22oz beer. The sideline my dad had was 2 beef sliders, a soft pretzel, a hot dog, 4 jalapeño poppers a stick of cheese curds and I think his might have had celery. My bf opted out of the bloodies and had a hamburger and pub chips off the lunch menus. This was amazing and well worth an hours drive for us! Awesome bloodies and a great patio’

Excellent walleye sandwich and great french fries. The prime rib looked quite good. They have a 22 oz Bloody Mary which is served with a 16 oz «beer chaser» that looks like a meal in itself that sells for $ 19.95. I want to go back to try to Bloody Mary!

Holy crap, I had the best bloody of MY LIFE at Mill Creek!!! The Insane Infusion bloody is 22 ounces of bloody, fixings galore and comes with a pint chaser. There’s a picture of it on the menu and when I saw it I got supper giddy! I pointed to it and said «I’ll have that».
I couldn’t wait for it to arrive. I was seriously beside myself. Other people in our party ordered food, but I was not paying attention to a thing. I was focused on being ready for my masterpiece to arrive. I sent a text to a follow bloody loving friend and we geeked out for a bit. Meanwhile, my pint chaser (summer shady — my pick) arrived and so did a PLATE. I about died. My drink needs it’s own plate!
And then. The heavens opened up and it arrived. Food for the table did too, but I only had eyes for my bloody. IT WAS EVERYTHING! I didn’t know where to start so I took about a thousand pictures, smiled and did other things you’d expect to see a five year old do on Christmas morning.
This it what was IN my bloody:
6 olives
4 chicken wings
3 onion rings
2 strips of bacon
2 shrimp
1 meat sick
1 giant whole pickle
1 pickled egg
Blocks of cheese and pepperoni
Stalk of celery
IT WAS SO GOOD! I think my guy liked his food too. It was a club sandwich. I didn’t see it though, I was busy with all my stuffs. The Insane Infusion bloody is $ 19.50 and, in my opinion, worth every cent.

Great burgers! Had the black and blue — yum! The atmosphere is definitely dive-​y, but who cares with burgers this good? The patio was pleasant on a sunny day in April.

Always had a great dinner here ! Prime rib is truly legendary. If your looking for a true hole in the wall this is it. A cup of soup as add on is 3.95 for a tiny cup.

We’ve come to Mill Creek a couple of times when visiting the folks from California. The Juicy Lucy is fabulous and the Turkey burger is excellent. Our server was Sarah… she was energetic and friendly. The only critiques were… the special order condiments came in to-​go plastic cups and the alcoholic drinks came in plastic cups instead of glass even though we ate inside. Had we been outside, both would be understandable. Again, Sarah was great.

I wanted to have my rehearsal dinner here and they said they won’t take reservations on Fridays and wouldn’t make an exception. They lost my business!

This place is amazing! Some friends of ours told us about it and we went on a Saturday evening for the prime rib special. The prime rib was only $ 24 and was 2 ½ to 3 pounds of meat. It was not only huge, It was fantastically delicious.
We have been back several times since and Monday nights are taco night ($ 1 tacos) so it is very busy but worth the wait. Sunday is also very crowded because it is one dollar hamburger night and they have drink specials. Again, worth the wait. The staff is always fantastic and very friendly. If I could go every day, I would.
