Sexton Mill
About This Spot
Walking into Sexton Mill feels like stepping into a warm embrace of community and comfort tucked away in the heart of Glen Rose. The pace here is easygoing, inviting you to settle in and savor the moment—whether you’re sliding onto a barstool or finding a seat near the windows that frame the gentle river breeze. This is a place where chatter hums softly under the steady clink of glasses and the quiet strum of live country and western tunes fills the air with an unhurried rhythm.
The atmosphere is genuine and welcoming, the kind of spot where familiar faces greet newcomers and the staff know your drink before you order it. There’s a friendly, neighborhood vibe that feels both relaxed and spirited, a community gathering place where stories are shared alongside hearty food and thoughtfully poured drinks.
On the table, the fare carries a straightforward, hearty character. It’s the kind of cooking that pairs effortlessly with a cold beer or a well-mixed Long Island Iced Tea, grounding lively conversations and moments of quiet alike. The barbecue, in particular, seems to anchor the menu—rich, smoky, and generous, serving as a delicious thread connecting guests through shared experience. Pizzas and loaded baked potatoes add a comforting layer of indulgence, each bite inviting you to linger.
Whether you’re coming in on a quiet afternoon or catching one of the live music nights, Sexton Mill offers more than just a meal—it’s a place to breathe, connect, and feel a bit more at home while discovering the warmth of Glen Rose hospitality.

OUTSTANDING barbecue bar! We started to kickoff our visit to Glen Rose at another restaurant but THEY WERE CLOSED without telling anyone online. Instead, we found our way to Sexton Mill. Everything here was so great that we'll never go back to that other place! Great beer, a fantastic Long Island Iced Tea, and Isaac made us feel right at home. If you are EVER in Glen Rose and you love barbecue, beer, and incredible loaded baked potatoes, you HAVE to try Sexton Mill!

Sat at the bar. Ryan took great care of us. Engaging conversation, beers were cold and never ran empty. Owners dropped by and thanked us for our business. Super cool place. Burger was good! Neat community focused atmosphere. They deserve your business!

The food and atmosphere are great! The wait staff and owners are very friendly. 2yr update: We returned today to Sexton Mill and as usual, everything was remarkable! The owner was sitting out front greeting folks as they arrived and she is so friendly. We love to stop by this place when traveling through Glen Rose, however, today we drove an hour and a half to Glen Rose solely to eat at Sexton Mill!

I went for a concert. The place is really cool... Right off the Paluxy River. Really nice breeze of the river. We really expected a better variety on the menu. Bbq needs potatoe salad!!! The place was really authentic. They made the old mills into gazebos.

Great food! Great service! The only down side is it’s not a “restaurant” in the traditional sense. It’s a bar with a food truck but they have waitresses for the tables on the bar side. The fried pickles are amazing! We also got the bbq brisket pizza, pepperoni pizza and the brisket sandwich. All delicious!
