Update: After dining at this restaurant again with a group of several dozen folks—and the management and staff of 3 Mile House doing a truly exceptional job—and very importantly, the food being absolutely delicious, I’ve decided changing my rating from 3 to 5 stars would reflect a more fair and accurate rating. Any restaurant (except perhaps a Michelin starred one) can provide a not-so-perfect experience once in a great while. Bottom line is that aside from the one disappointing evening I posted about below, this restaurant has served my husband and I several wonderfully delicious meals, and the five stars are deserved.We have been to 3 Mile House numerous times and have never been disappointed… until last Thursday. We brought my sister and her friend with to celebrate my husband’s birthday after boasting about how delicious their food was. I ordered an 8 oz filet, my sister ordered the fried chicken, and my sister’s companion and my husband ordered the 20 oz porterhouse special. The chicken, while small, was enjoyed. My filet had a piece of gristle running through it that I had to maneuver around—not a deal breaker but not great. However, the 20 oz porterhouse steaks were truly a disappointment. Thin, unevenly cut, a bit fatty and tough, but worst of all, pretty much tasteless. Even the tenderloin portion, saved for last, was uncommonly tasteless. Then, having previously dined there on our anniversary, I knew they provided a delicious celebratory, complimentary dessert. I was waiting for that for my husband. Instead, when we said we were finished, we just got the check! Now granted, the restaurant isn’t under any obligation to provide complimentary food items, however, we went there with expectations of having a delicious dinner—and I had in the back of my mind, a celebratory dessert to top the night off. Neither happened, and I left there kicking myself that we insisted on choosing 3 Mile House to bring our guests to that evening. We will probably go there again—their food has always been outstanding—but in the back of my mind, I’ll know that I can’t count on having that experience consistently, so will think twice before considering it as a place to take family and friends when they’re visiting; and that is really the disappointment.

Date: 23 March 2024. Party of 10. Reservations were made. Service was very good. Food was delicious. The only downfall. They didn't have any pork chops. Not much to say except all food, service & atmosphere was Awesome.
We had a lovely dinner celebrating a big birthday for my mom. We had a party of 12 and were welcomed and taken care of as if we were family. The food was amazing and our server was wonderful. My husband said his prime rib was the best he's ever had. The owner stopped by to wish my mom a happy birthday. We brought the cake and they provided the ice cream. A great time was had by all. We will definitely be back next time we visit from Florida.

I had ordered the ribs and shrimp combo which was about $27, and unfortunately, the baked potato was the best part of the meal. The ribs were way overcooked and tougher than a shoe, both the ribs and the shrimp didn't have much flavor. The restaurant was also tight and overcrowded. The staff were very nice, which was the only reason I'm giving this two stars

Really delicious food in an old school supper club atmosphere. We traveled 1 hr 45 min to give this place a try and were not disappointed. French onion soup came out piping hot with a thyme-rich broth, lots of onion and well broiled cheese. The prime rib was tender and flavorful. Battered shrimp was lightly crispy and perfectly cooked. The shrimp may have stolen the show. Filet with blue cheese hit the spot. Our salads were simple, but did the job. We started with cheese curds and, to be honest, felt we have had better elsewhere. Overall we would very much recommend 3 Mile House. Just don't forget to make reservations!?

Very nice old school Supper Club located 10 minutes from Dubuque. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the owners who took the time to share the history of the Supper Club. We enjoyed a couple of cocktails at the bar before being seated for dinner. At the table was a nice relish tray as expected in a Supper Club. My wife had the shrimp and ribs plate and I had the ribeye steak. The food was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable. Our server was very engaging and friendly. We had a nice warm feeling eating the delicious food in this small town establishment. My wife has already put in a request to return for dinner here next time we are in town!

We came here on a Monday night, and the fact a supper club is open on a Monday is impressive in and of itself! Dawn was our waitress and she was great! The food was delicious. I ordered the French onion soup and hashbrowns with cheese and that was more than enough for a meal- with leftovers to bring home. (Next time I’ll come with a bigger appetite for scallops and steak). They have a “hidden” drink that should definitely be added to the menu- the threemiletini, invited by bartender Mark. It’s the perfect chocolate, creamy after dinner drink. All around an amazing experience!!
Great service with excellent food!
