Red Mill remains one of the most popular burger restaurants in Seattle, winning praise in the Seattle Weekly's Best of Seattle for ten years in a row.[2] Its burgers and onion rings were mentioned in GQ magazine,[3] as well as on The Oprah Winfrey Show.[4] The restaurant was spotlighted in a February 2009 episode of Man v. Food.[5]

In 2016, owner John Shepherd faced widespread criticism over allegedly sexist and transphobic Facebook posts. He stepped down from his position indefinitely.[6]
