This is an interesting antique mall. It carries all the things you would normally expect to find, but given that its built in an old mill, it has a charm that similar places dont. Worth a visit if youre in the area for sure.

I love this place. Its the 2nd time Ive been. Its so big and there is so much to look at. The lady who runs it is so sweet and helpful.

The people are really nice. I know place is 100 years old but it could use a good cleaning and organizing. Some booths had their items sitting randomly on the floor. Some prices were good, others not so much. Its still worth the trip

Lots of great shape antiques.

Love this place. Restaurant was amazing.

Great location with huge variety of antiques. They were renovating while we were there so there will soon be even more to shop!

I dont know what others see in this place. Beautiful old mill with bowed floors. Tiltng racks of thrift store finds..

This is a must see for antiques! The building alone has so much history and character!

Tons of stuff! And old, not somebodys 80s blue junk!! Dont forget to go upstairs too. Saw a restaurant attached that was closed, hoping to visit it too! Support local

Probably the best antique mall Ive ever been to couldnt possibly see everything in one visit, I definitely will go back.

Very neat place with lots of potential, upstairs needs lot of organization though.

Truly amazing building with lots of history and great finds. The original hardware, brick and stairs are to die for.

Loved this place very big lots of nice things great place to shop

Great variety and reasonable! Visit to check out the building

Great food and nice antique mall next door, had a great time shopping.

The atmosphere is great. 2 stories and alot of beautiful glass.

We didnt find a lot of good stuff there went to go to restaurant weighted a long time to get our food over expensive for what we got but it was good

Its a pretty nice antique mall inside of an old mill. Great vintage atmosphere and a good selection of antiques. I found a couple of things to purchase

The atmosphere,food,booths,all fantastic!

Great place to find old Antiques....

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. If youre looking to get away from the usual cafes you should try here. The food is wonderful.... check out the Cuban sandwich..... delicious.

They have expanded the seating in their restaurant. Gourmet sandwiches to die for.

Very interesting place. You can find about anything and everything thats antique here.

Love to visit, can find things every time I visit.

Pretty awesome and the staff are really helpful.

This mall is housed in an old sock factory. They still sell socks here. You will find all kinds of stuff. I once found a nice oil painting for a reasonable price. If you talk with the workers they can tell you a lot about the history of the sock factory as well as the area of Fort Payne which is one of the starting places for the Trail of Tears.

A little bit of everything and the food at Vintage 1889 is awesome.

It was great. The burgers were juicy perfect cooking, great service, FREE WIFI, enjoyable views, great decorations, nice people and, smooth classic rock. In my opinion I think it was much better than a 4.5 star rating it was honestly a 10 star I highly suggest this place for a non busy relaxing place to eat.

Love to stop in, to reminisce of the old days . In the sixties and seventies it was a thriving sock mill . Where the kids in the neighborhood would run back and forth, to play on the bridge from the mill to the road. And climb down into the ditch and walk under the road to the other side. And not get in trouble for crossing the street. There was a phone booth on the corner. It was a busy place, where the same people worked every day from 7 : 00 until 3 : 00 and a whistle would blow. Then 2nd shift would. Each day was a routine. And everyone new where you were all the time. And looked out for you. This was the good old days. Parents didnt worry about the children, because everyone new Who You were. And if you werent from there, we new that too. But now its a good place to get lunch and pick up something for a friend. Stop in you will find it has something for everyone.

In an absolutely beautiful building. Tons of things to look at.

Wife loves this place

One of the best antique malls Ive seen. Huge selection, lots of furniture and really great prices. People are so friendly. Also in the same building is an amazing deli, Vintage 1889. Its worth a trip just to eat there.

Great food,service and very good live music.

They have a good selection of antiques. Be sure to visit their cafe. My family enjoyed their food and I really liked my hamburger.

A lot of items but it was not worth the unfriendly staff. Im sure they get tired of endless crowds just looking but we tend to be able find something cool anywhere and did their as well but chose not to when counter help was unable to assist or smile

I could have stayed here so much longer.

Nice little restaurant located inside lots of history and culture all around a must on a bucket list.

Awesome place with a constantly updating inventory of cool items.

The Big Mill is the oldest & biggest building in Ft.Payne (built in 1889) and wonderful to just walk through and enjoy. The two stories of antiques and artisans make it truly a unique & fascinating journey back in time. Great deals too. Im a budget shopper when it comes to antiques and I ALWAYS find a great deal on something at Big Mill.

Lot over old things there was three more when we went in lol

This is my 2nd time shopping here. I could spend a fortune here if I had it. Its like stepping back into history. But you need to be prepared for the fact that this is an old building and when its hot outside, its hot inside. So take your hand fan or buy one there. I found a whole bunch of pretty ones just like we used to have in church. I highly recommend this shop. There are some very inexpensive things and some expensive ones too. Yo Ou,:LL definitely find some things you have to have!

Had so much fun walking through this place! They haves tons of antiques!!

A never ending joy.

💕

Love this place. Nice and big antique mall in a old mill building. We go ever time we are in Fort Payne.

Very impressive

The ambiance is antique with a HUGE variety of gorgeous and useful items that will bring a smile and memories!

Beautiful old building. Restaurant next door. Good prices.

Nothing like the pictures. Was a disappointment.

If youre not completely knowledgeable in antiques vs reproductions it would be good that you have a friend who is to go with you to this place and most any other like it.

My wife and I were surprised to find it, up on the N. end of town, across the tracks. But it looked interesting, and we stopped in. Spacious, rustic, historic. Friendly people. Great restaurant. A nice shopping experience.

Great old mill with some great finds. I have never left here empty handed.

Unique gift ideas with a cool restaurant attached

Great antique store in beautiful historic mill.

Very accommodating...my book group meets here sometimes. Lots of character, and good food.

Love it!!! So much to see. And the lady that works there is superb

Lots of cool antiques! Reasonably priced.

Always Something Interesting to See!

Neat stuff to look at but items are a little pricey but if you look around you can find some bargains.

Set in the old antique mill, this is one antique mall you need to visit! hundreds of true antiques and vintage collectibles, You will be amazed at the selection and they welcome people to come and browse...no pressure, pure pleasure!Highly Recommend!

Great place and good bargains, staff are vet nice, building is cool

The food was terrific and the antiques were really cool too.

Fun and Big. Strolled for quite awhile and purchased a couple of things.

Nice furniture

Cant go wrong here. Great fun.

Well me and my boyfriend love to go picking. We looked yesterday for Antique shops in Ft Payne and we were excited when we found this one opened on Sundays 1-4, well at least that is what the internet has listed. We drove all the way from Birmingham to check it out only to find that is was CLOSED!!!! We waited in the parking lot untiil 1:30, along with another couple from Georgia, only to realize it is not going to OPEN on Sunday. In cases like this I think the owner needs to reimburse for GAS and TIME WASTED!!!! Needless to say I am really frustrated and would NEVER make another trip to this place!!!! Just a few ideas, place a sign on the door, update the internet or just common courtesy show up to work if your are supposed to be open, change the recording on the answering machine stating days open and times.

Awesome store great setting. Grab lunch after you shop.

A nice place to throw a party

Huge place. Lots of great stuff.

Nice historical place & best antique place

Lots of antiques, good place to go.

Too much junk....old stuff just not enough actual antiques. Seems to be too worried about consigning space to anybody. Prices were high as well.

Great antiques

A lot of stuff big store

Love this place!

Friendly sales people. Clean store with a huge variety of items.

Fun place...!!

Nice little place

Grate

The place is incredible. Its like a museum almost but the displays are for sale. I could spend way more time then I should in there and spend way more money then I should. A very nice staff all in all just an amazing place

It is a dream but those of us who like antiques. Whenever I come to Strengthen Payne I visit them.
