Arrived Sept 13/25 around 6 pm. Busy but not full no line up. As we wait to be seated the hostess starts to serve a take out customer behind us and went to the kitchen 3 times for him not really acknowledging us. We were the only ones waiting a table. After about 5 minutes another server asks if we were served we say No and she seats us. Our server after several minutes comes and asks if we want to order. Not even slightly friendly. We order drinks and ask for Calamari she rudely and matter of fact says Popcorn shrimp. We say CALAMARI she rudely say SO popcorn shrimp.?? We look at each other and say We want calamari. She say we DONT have calamari. We say oh- sorry itâs on your on line menu thatâs kind of why we came.â Ya the on line menu needs updating.â
She says Spicy prawns ?? we say no spice she gives us a sighâŠwe say we will look at the menu. She brings our drinks 10 minutes later no water we order and she brings our food fast. Itâs 2pc fish and chips. The fries are excellent hot fresh. The coleslaw warm tartar sauce too the fish cold and not fresh out of the frier for how fast it came. She asked on our last bites taste ok?
No offer for more drinks. Our plates sat empty on the table for 10 minutes. We were done our drinks when the food arrived but we were not offered another.
We had to flag her down for our bill and I say may the have the bill? She says ANOTHER Tinnie? (ya 15 minutes ago!! ) Our bill please.
She says our bingo cards are so close we should stay. We are not remotely closeâŠShe doesnât ask if it on one just tosses it on the table walks away. She comes back with the machine and asks you local ?
My friend says yes, sheâs visiting Iâm paying and she doesnât even talk to me because I think she realized I am not local her service sucked and I was paying not the local. She tells my friend she had the manager remove the calamari off the on line menu. Thatâs good she says. That should have been done the same time it was taken off the menu?
I am a business person I am a big tipper for the right server. I believe in making a servers day with an excellent tip She got $5. I had been to 12 restaurants during my short stay and everywhere was stellar service incredibly great food and they all got 25-30% tip.
Going to try the others next time I visit.
We all have off days be professional and leave it at home.

A true hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and fantastic service that continued throughout the evening. The patio is an absolute dreamâit's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal on a beautiful day.
But the real star of the show is the food. The menu offers a great selection, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The flavors were incredible, and you could tell that each dish was made with care and high-quality ingredients.
I can't recommend this place enough. It's the perfect combination of a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and truly amazing food. We'll definitely be back soon!

We have been going to the 17 mile pub since 1979. Today was the first time that we were disappointed. We ordered French onion soup and onion rings.
The soup was barely warm, in a plain white bowl instead of a crockery one, that goes in the oven. Not a bit of cheese in the soup, and the onion rings were barely warm.
I donât think we will go back for awhile.

17 Mile is a pretty standard pub experience but in an old heritage building. I have never had to wait, the service is prompt, and the staff is always friendly. The food is decent but not adventurous, but that's OK. So much safer to get in and out from since the hwy upgrade.

Came in for a red curry chicken meal. Was quite hungry when we arrived and was excited this. We ended up asking how long it would be after waiting an hour and twenty minutes. The waitress said 10 more min and then 5 min later the bartender came and told us they didn't know. There was a party in there I get it, but 1.5hrs before we were told. Anyways, whichever...starving lol.
Food finally comes out and I can't wait to dive in but what is put I. Front of me is NOT a curry dish or at least definitely not red. It was a bland light grayish soupy gravy with burnt coconut rice and overcooked veggies. I had mentioned it was not red curry but a gravy and they assured me it was. I love my Indian food and I'm sorry but no red curry was served. At the end we were given the full bill... which is fine. But 1.5hr wait and terrible food should have had an adjustment given.
The waitress was very apologetic throughout and we appreciated that, but unfortunately I have to give a truthful review and I won't be returning. Sub par even for a bar and grill.

The chowder was so delicious in the bread bowl! Great vibes in the back area on a nice summer day.

Iâve been to the 17 Mile Pub twice now, and both times have been absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy and welcomingâperfect for a casual meal or a relaxed drink with friends.
Their seafood chowder is delicious. I also highly recommend the lavender lemonade.
What really stands out, though, is the service. Both times Iâve visited, the staff have been friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind.
Canât wait to go back!

Lovely spot by the road in an heritage building that looks like a tavern where adventurers start a quest. Great pub fare, great service, very hard to go wrong with this one.

Awesome spot to stop for dinner and a couple of Hoyne Pilsners after a great hike and swim at the Pot Holes! Sat out on the back deck, what a great atmosphere! Very chill like being in someone's backyard! Service and food were excellent! Thank you 17 Mile House
