I went here during the annual Harvest Festival, during a meat raffle, so it was pretty packed…read more Still being the pandemic though, we ate at a little picnic table out back, which was nice because then not only did we not have to get the delta variant, but we also set up and played the corn hole game (the next day was to be the corn hole tournament). We got burgers and sandwiches, and they were just fine. The fries good by 1985 standard, but like beer, in the last 2 decades there's been a revolution in fry quality nationwide, and I'm now spoiled by fantastic fries almost everywhere I eat. Afterward we went to the drag show out at the motel camp site by the airport.

One star is more than this experience deserved…read more This review is especially disappointing because we've been coming to Highway 5 for years. We have a cabin nearby, and stopping here has always been part of our summers. We wanted to keep coming back. Our group included six adults, two teenagers, my parents in their 70s, and close friends. We arrived around 7:10. Another table sat down shortly after us, ordered after us, received their food, finished eating, paid, and left while we were still waiting. Our friends, who ordered with us, received their meals about 30 minutes before we did. Their fries were nearly black, and when this was brought to the owner's attention, we were told, "It's because the grease is dirty." After waiting well over an hour, my husband asked why we still hadn't received our food. Instead of an apology, we were treated like we were the problem. When food finally came, mine wasn't what I had ordered. I pointed that out, and the waitress--who we later learned was the owner--told me to leave. There was no apology. She later dropped a discounted bill on the table with a dismissive "There," and walked away. Afterward, my husband tried to understand what had happened. He was told we had arrived after the kitchen had closed and that they had simply been too busy. Neither explanation matched what we experienced. We arrived around 7:10 (before the kitchen closed at 7:30), watched another table eat and leave before us, and the restaurant never had more than two tables eating. The conversation became even more disturbing when a man at the bar, who identified himself as a part-owner, told my husband, "We don't need your business," accused him of being rude, and the interaction escalated into what my husband perceived as a physical threat. My husband admits he was frustrated after waiting so long and after seeing me receive the wrong meal (and then I never got one at all). Anyone would have been. Frustration over poor service should never be met with blame or hostility. My husband and I have both worked in the service industry for years. We know mistakes happen. What matters is how they're handled. We expected an apology. Instead, we got excuses, blame, and hostility. After years of coming here, this experience ended our relationship with Highway 5. We won't be back.

Highway 5 is located right off the 5 on a dirt lot…read more There is plenty of parking in an unpaved lot. The building is like new and offers really fun decor. There is a small bar with about 8 stools and tall tables. There is a jukebox for playing music and a popcorn machine for all patrons. They have weekly specials so there isn't a full menu every day. We arrived on a Friday which was "Fish Fry Friday" and they were also serving either a cheeseburger or hamburger . They are a full bar and also offer draft beer. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries - it was delicious . My husband ordered the fish fry special (grouper with coleslaw and either a baked potato or fries). The grouper was lacking in salt and the tarter sauce runs on the sweeter side. We added a lot of salt and lemon juice. We both ordered a beer as well. This was a fun place to stop on the way to our cabin and we will definitely come again.

I visited BoomTown this evening for their Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Boom Boom Pulled Pork tacos…read more I have had these many time before, but tonight they were over the top spicy. I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.
