Floral-adorned roadhouse brunch with genuine Gold Country character

Our Take
Old 5 Mile House has the floral details and patio lingering energy of a brunch spot that understands the assignment — unhurried mornings with food worth sitting still for. It's worth the trip if you're in the area and not in a rush, though the modest rating keeps it in the reliable-rather-than-remarkable category.
