4 /5 Steve Switz: 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 wasnt 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 how we were doing.
My main gripe is they charge a 3% credit card usage fee. If I had paid more attention to the bill, I would have subtracted the fee from the tip. My wife said it makes her not want to go back. We eat out often, and I cant think of another place around here that charges to use a credit card. Our bill was over $100, so this isnt pocket change you just have on hand.
The setting for this place is as good as it gets, especially in the summer or warm nights as you can sit outside in a park-like setting.
There are many, many good places to eat in the area and this place just hasnt hit the mark yet.
