Consistently excellent, both food and service. I usually order the pallet, which consists of three smaller portions of fish, lamb chops, and filet. All three dressed differently and delicious.

Your tables are small and uncomfortable. Our party of 4 felt like there was no room for food or plates at the table. All food was set down at the end of the table, so the person sitting on the inside, had to keep asking for food because he couldn’t reach it. And the raw food was on such a long platter. You couldn’t set it between you again. The booth is too small and different serving platters needed.

About the restaurant

Window seating is first come, first serve depending on how early you make your reservation. Parties larger than 5 are unable to be seated next to the window. We do our best to accommodate all requests but aren't always able to seat everyone that requests a window seat by the window.

Mill Pond Steakhouse is the only up-scaled steakhouse in the midlands. We have a well developed staff that is committed to your dining needs. It starts from the time you pick up the phone to make a reservation to when you are welcomed at the front door and lasts forever. When you arrive to the Mill Pond Steakhouse in Boykin, SC you take a step back in time. Mill Pond Steakhouse offers rustic elegance with southern hospitality and a one of a kind dining experience.

Parties of 6 or more are required to call the restaurant at 803-425-8825 and ask to speak to management.

If you can't make your reservation on time, please call to let us know or else your table may be given to someone else. Thank you!

This was our first visit to 17 and it would have received 5 stars across the board, but we were a little disappointed with our entree. We had the steak and we liked the preparation, but the actual cut seemed tough and not in line with everything else we were served. We left wishing we had ordered something else. The service was top notch; friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is just what we want for a night out. We could hear each other without competing with other noises. Our appetizers were delicious, the custom drink I had (Carolina Green) was so good. We were staying at the hotel, so we also had breakfast the next morning which was definitely a 5 star breakfast. We tried to get the secret to the chef's potato hash. We will definitely come back in the future and just not order the steak.

When you make a reservation at establishment like this, you expect the food to be good. It was. It was excellent. Now here are the small things. The ambience is outstanding. The server was extremely knowledgeable. Everything that we had came together like a symphony. The manager came to the table and offered us a glass of cava for our anniversary The price point equates to the quality of the food. From The service to the ambience this restaurant gets it and as a former restaurant owner, I appreciate the fact that they not only put out great food. They paid attention to all of the small details.
