    Fast service, got right in a Friday with no reservation table for 2. The free liver pate and cheese spread was a highlight. New York Strip and the Walleye were stunning. I will be back!

    Being from western PA, we had never heard of a 'supper club' until a bartender in Galena told us about them. Accordingly, we looked some up online and decided to visit this one. And we're so glad we chose "3 Mile House!" First, the hospitality was great; starting with the owner greeting you and mingling with the patrons between 4-4:30 before dinner service starts at 4:30. We were seated shortly after 4:30, which the owner apologized for simply because he was enjoying a conversation with visitors from Alaska. How could you be upset with someone for being kind to other customers? Plus, the delay in seating wasn't much past 4:30. From there we were attended to by a wonderful young waitress who had a very friendly personality and a great work ethic. Her service was top-notch! Also, the owner was assisting all of the waitresses and checking-in on everyone's dining experience as they dined. That was an awesome touch in our opinion! Onto the reason for being there... The food (all pictured) was fresh and delicious! We both had steak dinners, which come with two sides (but they have a great selection of options, which is why we chose this particular supper club). We also had appetizers, which came in very generous portions sizes along with the relish tray that is provided upon being seated. The relish tray was nice (and apparently a traditional part of a supper club) but we were more excited to have our appetizers, and they did not disappoint! We also ultimately ordered dessert to-go, and after all that food plus two adult beverages, our bill was about $130. My wife and I have traveled over half of the US (big, medium, small cities & towns), and this place offered one of the best experiences we've ever had. Overall, this place offers a unique, quaint, very personable dining experience, with a somewhat kitschy ambiance, at a reasonable price when compared to other restaurants with comparable quality and service. (I know we've paid more for less of both elsewhere in the places we've traveled) Conclusion: If you're considering a 'supper club' then I'd definitely recommend this one!

    Can't miss it!

    If the fine folks at Yelp would allow me a 4.3 rating, it would be such; alas, they don't. Happened to be in the Galena area and wanted a supper club. Called Three Mile House and reserved a time for my partner and I. A packed parking lot gave me the immediate impression of the place being a good restaurant. My first impression was correct. The bar area was tight with people; with two bartenders working, I got my order in quickly. The old fashioneds we received were not lacking alcohol, just lacked flavor. While I was getting drinks, my partner talked to the host and we were actually seated a couple minutes ahead of our reservation. The dining room is pretty simple. Nothing to write home about, but functional for only having 20 tables. Immediately, I was struck by how well organized and efficient the staff was. From the waitresses to the bus boys (are you allowed to still call them that?), they didn't waste time in getting orders taken, food to the table and tables cleaned and reset for more patrons. The food was very good. The vegetable tray wasn't pretty but met its purpose. The side salad was simple but also checked the box. Our main meals, a ribeye (how I measure the worth of a restaurant) and grilled chicken, were nice-sized, flavorful and properly prepared. When we were leaving, the owner made it a point to thank us and shake my hand. A nice parting touch to a good experience. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood!

    Strong, large drinks (a little more expensive than other area supper clubs bc of this). Good relish tray, i like the addition of vegetables where some places only have the dips; meat dip and cheese dip are whipped which makes for an odd texture but did have good flavor. Ranch is excellent. I got the catfish sandwich with fries. Fries are excellent. Crispy and well seasoned. Catfish was fine, prefer a cornmeal breading for catfish, this was more like beer batter. Bun was sub par, too soft and absorbed the heat/steam from the fish and became mushy. Husband got the pesto pasta. Has artichoke hearts, spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Artichoke was mostly inedible leaves, not hearts. Would have been better with more spinach, actual hearts, and fewer sun dried tomatoes (which are naturally tart and leathery). Server was friendly and helpful. But service overall was rushed.

The spinach dip in the bread bowl with the tortilla chips was amazing. The entrées were delicious. Blue had a sampler of barbecue meat- so good, and I had the jambalaya - hot spicy and really tasty. We tried the chocolate chip bread pudding, which was tasty but very hot. We got it to go because we knew we couldn't eat the whole thing. Lovely place to have dinner on the river. the only downsides were the soups in that clam chowder was thin and had no potatoes. No clams was pretty much warm milk with celery and the beer cheese soup was too thick and a little too cloy, would've been good with the chips from the appetizer.

Ordered a lunch special, catfish & red beans & rice and husband ordered catfish & fries. Catfish was average and decent size piece with special. I had to send back the red beans. I think there were 5 beans and no rice and a lot of liquid. Had them substitute potato salad which was very average. Fries were so soggy we didn't eat them. Waitress offered to get us another order and request well done fries but we didn't want to wait. Well done? Shouldn't all fries have a crispness to them? The manager did take 10% off. Whooopeee! Very mediocre at best. We go to New Orleans a lot and red beans/rice are so very good when cooked correctly. They need to take it off the menu or send the chef for a cooking class on southern food.. imho

There is a ground level patio, but I did not see any service here so if you can't climb stairs, you probably aren't going to come here. I will say the cheese curds were tasty, but they were fried, so just know that. We all ended up ordering the shrimp skewers because we were leaning towards the healthier side and they were very tasty with all day seasoning and my husband had the Cajun. My biggest complaint is, I asked for a glass of water twice from one server, once from another and ended up, going to the bar to get it myself so super frustrated that that one simple request was not honored. Everything else was fine. It is pretty loud in here for conversation so if you're looking for something a little quieter, you may want to choose elsewhere Total bill was $99 for three orders of shrimp, skewers, cheese, curds, and we each had two drinks each

Everything was delicious...the steak bites were our favorite (well, until I tried the mini donuts for dessert ;)) and we would be happy to come back to try more of the menu. The ambiance was family friendly & chill. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous views that made us feel like we were on an island further south than we were!! Definitely worth a stop!

Husband had BBQ chicken with rice and steamed asparagus. Kids ate free because we were guests of the Holiday Inn, the hotel attached to River Rock Kitchen & Tap. The kids liked their mac and cheese and chicken fingers and fries. My 7 year old like the chicken fingers so much, he ordered a second round (which we paid for, this time). Our sweet waitress gave ice cream to the kids after dinner. That totally made their day! + Clean restaurant + There is a bar area with TVs for those business travelers. We observed a lot of business people at the bar area that day. + Limited outdoor seating available if you prefer + Affordable Highly recommended!

We were ignored, made to feel unwelcome, and treated in a manner that felt discriminatory. There is no excuse for treating paying customers this way. I contacted corporate and was told the manager would handle the situation. The manager said he would "look into it," but nothing happened. Instead of receiving a sincere apology or seeing any meaningful accountability, I was offered a gift card and told the employee would be "retrained and coached." A gift card does not make up for discriminatory treatment, and basic respect, acknowledgment, and professionalism should not require coaching. This clearly does not appear to be an isolated incident. Ralphie's review describes a very similar experience, suggesting a larger problem at this location. Corporate needs to conduct a serious investigation into both the staff's conduct and management's failure to address these complaints properly. I will also be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Do not waste your time or money here. Save yourself the frustration and support a local small business that will actually value and respect its customers.

That should tell you something about how good they are. Their service is outstanding. The food is great never had a bad meal. My wife has Alzheimer's and she always enjoys the ride up in the view overlooking the river. I had to ask for tables along the outside to get the best view of the river. It was suggested I might want to make a reservation to be sure I would get one if available. We've eaten various items all over the menu you can't go wrong with anything it's all great.

Service was particularly slow tonight, which I didn't understand since it wasn't busy. The onion loaf was slightly undercooked and VERY greasy this time. The server did keep up with drinks but we were on our second glasses of soda by the time food arrived. The baby back ribs were awesome, falling off the bone. The broccoli is always perfectly cooked, tender but still green. I love the loaded mashed potatoes. Others had the Caesar Salad, Chicken Alfredo and the Filet & Baby Back combos. Everyone was pleased. I understand the servers wanting a cash tip on a large bill but I found it slightly insulting to be asked for that, by the person receiving it, when presented with the bill. A sign when you enter would be better. We don't often carry cash so that didn't happen tonight.
