What others have said...
about our
former location known as the
Mill Street Cafe of Lewisville:
Dallas Morning News
"On bustling Mill Street near
the historic downtown, the cafe
draws a mixed crowd; starch
shirted executives with cell
phones eating along side
baseball capped construction
workers. It's a real slice of
Lewisville life."
Lewisville News
"Mamma's home cooking is back
and here to stay"
Dallas Morning News
"Even in the midst of Denton
County's explosive residential
growth, the Mill St. Cafe serves
up great home cooked meals with
a home town feel"

History of the Building…
208 E. Main
St. was built as a home by
Dr. J.W. Kennedy in 1885.
| |
Legend has it, Dr. Kennedy would
periodically be blindfolded, kidnapped and
taken to the hideout of Bonnie and Clyde
(who used to camp out by what is now Lake
Lewisville) to provide them medical care.
The dining rooms located on both sides of
the entry and the Library Room are all part
of the original structure. The ceilings in
the East and West dining rooms are adorned
with the 120 year old cedar planks used in
the original construction of the home.
In more recent history, the early 1980’s is
when the building was last used as a
residence - by the Lauderdale family. Robert
and Alice Goetz took it over, added on, and
converted it to a restaurant - “Hearthstone
Manner”.
The building served as an antique mall in
the early 1990’s.
“Wishing Well Antiques” was named after the
old well that was located inside the
building at the time.
The Veranda operated as a restaurant from
1992 until 2007
when it was sold and completely remodeled
and opened as
Tierney’s Café and Tavern.
