★★★★★ 5.0 Judy Saint · Dec 2025

Pleasant patrons and staff, terrific smokey brisket, easy atmosphere with woodsy decor. Our group of 16 had our own small room. Worth the trip. I recommend the clam chowder and four bean salad.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Just One Opinion · Nov 2025

We decided to try the Old 5 Mile House again after two previous visits that, if I am being honest, were not too great. This trip, the food seems to have improved somewhat, but it needs improvement in other areas. My wife got a salad with grilled chicken that she said was just "OK." The salad wasn't presented as anything other than a run-of-the-mill salad; nothing special. My daughter ordered a pulled pork sandwich which she really enjoyed. I ordered the Coyboy Burger and thought it was very good. My grandbaby got chicken strips, which she also enjoyed. The fries were very good, and I got an additional side of baked beans that were very tasty but seemed old and a little dry. The waitress was not very attentive and seemed more interested in talking to guys at the bar than in checking

Honestly, today my wife and I had the opportunity to visit this place, and all I can say is that everything was simply wonderful. From the very start, you're greeted with a warm, family-like atmosphere. If you're unsure about which beer to choose, the bartender, Evan, is happy to offer a sample of any beer they have. Our order was taken very quickly and prepared just as fast. We were also pleased to see that everything was very clean—from the tableware to the restroom, it was clear that cleanliness is a priority here. There aren’t many places like this, and this is exactly the kind of spot you want to return to. Thank you so much for our enjoyable experience.
