Super cool outback experience with live music sometimes but hit and miss on the service. But if you get Lily taking care of you, you're at the right place. Bill's a pretty cool guy too, but I'm thinking it might be hard for him to get a good help. He's the owner I think...

Our new go to stop on the way to Tahoe. Everything was outstanding: food, atmosphere, staff. We had the chicken tenders, veggie burger with Cajun fries, and tri tip plate. Best chicken tenders I’ve ever had. Husband raved about the BBQ sauce.👌 Very dog and kid friendly outdoor space!

Everything that could be wrong was .
I'm a local and had high hopes coming here on a recommendation.
Most of the staff appears lost and/or loaded . Total lack of any training is evident. Waited forever for food and my wife was done with her dinner before my salad arrived . Two thin cucumber and radish slices and wilted lettuce . Every single food item was lukewarm or cool . $26 brisket plate had 1 slice of brisket that was 55% fat . I estimate about a 6 oz serving .

I can't say enough about how much we enjoy 5 Mile House. I have eaten there several times and love it. I wish more people knew about it; it's so unique. The meat which is smoked (they have a fantastic state-of-the-art smoker), is delicious from the brisket to their to-die-for burgers. The atmosphere is lovely and weekends have entertainment.

Friendly staff, live music, great atmosphere... The food is a strong 3.5.. some salt, flavor and trimming some of the fat off the BBQ would definitely bring it up to a 4.. We're definitely going to try it again. Worth trying!

Not many vegetarian options and not very many non-alcoholic options for the location. I would come again, but I'm not running
