The Windmill has been around since I was a kid. Wonderful community restaurant and convenient to the Fairfield side of Lake Wateree. Great little salad bar with chicken salad and homemade soups. Classic seafood and burger baskets that are always good. The weekend offers breakfast and my personal favorite, the veggie omelet. Good, reliable and friendly!

This is your basic fish camp kinda place. The folks are friendly and the service good. The prices are reasonable and the portions are plenty. I love the soup and salad bar. Especially the catfish stew and the chicken salad. You can’t go wrong with that! I’ve had other offerings and have taken family and friends there and never heard a complaint. It can get busy and they can seem short staffed at times, but they run and do the best they can. I’ll go many more times I’m sure. Breakfast there is excellent as well!

This rural restaurant has it’s good points and bad, but I keep going back so the positives win. The staff are all as friendly as they can be. The restaurant could use some sprucing up, but it’s bright and clean. As for the food? The breakfast’s are great and the hamburgers are pretty good. They do make some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had and some of the worst fried shrimp(they’re frozen… what would you expect.). They have a small salad bar but it has almost everything I want in a salad anyway. The salad bar includes a soup… I always get the catfish stew, which isn’t the best but I still like it. The hamburger steak is good(and sizeable) but the fish is frozen… unless they have fresh catfish. What I really don’t like about the Windmill is they don’t have fried chicken?! In this particular restaurant this just isn’t right! If I could, I would give this place 3.5 stars… it’s not bad, just not a 4-starter.
