We used 7 Miles Smokehouse to cater our wedding. Greg and his team were great to work with. Their food is amazing and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved it. We would definitely recommend 7Miles Smokehouse, whether you’re just looking for a new dinner spot or a caterer for an event.
I was in Chillicothe to go to a couple of stores. I wanted lunch but not fast food. I stopped in to eat here and wasnt disappointed!I had their pulled pork, fries, and cole slaw. It was served up fast, it was delicious, and the servers were friendly!
First experience and I ordered a takeout pulled pork sandwich and it was great. Moist and piled high and the sauce was delicious. I will be getting another asap.so gooooood.
Worst experience I’ve had in a long time, we waited to get a server for 15 mins. The busser had to get our drinks, which were flat and just syrup. Finally we go to order and they are out of pork and chicken. What do we order after that?? My wife and I just got up and left. Never again wouldn’t recommend.
So good! We got brisket and it was AMAZING! Very kind, helpful and accommodating staff. Way better than some other local BBQ restaurants. Very pleased with food and staff, we will definitely be back!
Wow, this place was great. The food was on point! Ribs fall apart delicious, pulled pork lean and moist. The sides were almost as good as the meat. Get the sweet potatoes if you want dessert😉. And fast. Everything to our table in record time. We will be back if we are in the area again. Sorry I didnt get pictures before we tore it up but you can tell from how cleaned up it is by the time I remembered that it was good. 😋
Brisket was delicious but the Mac & cheese was not hot. Service good until it got busy, then I was forgotten about. Next time I’ll do carry out.
The food was excellent, the waitresses friendly, and you definitely get what you pay for! Literally, Im waddling now! 😂 7 Mile Smokehouse was rather unassuming. Set in a remodeled 70s diner, its the type of place that you can see yourself eating at, with friends or the whole family. But dont let appearance fool you, the food was on par for any smokehouse Ive been to. Not a heavy, heady smoke, but flavorful and rich. And the portions were very generous! We drove 2.5 hours to try it out and decided that we will happily visit a few times a year.
The pulled pork and burnt ends were both amazing!
One of my new favorite spots in town!My waitress was awesome, and pretty funny too.Atmosphere is solid and Food is delicious. Definitely recommend their Mad dog sandwich.(couldnt help it looked so good)
Decided to check this place out. Ordered the Sampler. It has brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Chicken was super moist, typically dries out badly. The pulled pork was shredded and so moist you wouldnt believe it. Really mild smoke flavor to it. The brisket had a great bark with salt and pepper to it but was a little on the dry side. Mac n cheese was of the baked variety and had a ton of cheese with it. Delicious. Also had the corn and potato casserole. First time ever hearing of this dish. It had the corn and potato and a little cheese it. Quite tasty. The baked beans were made with a fair amount of brown sugar in them. They were quite hearty and were very filling. The waitresss were off the charts. There were 3 of them and each one checked on me numerous times. Super stuff. The place is in an old style diner that definitely gives you a small town vibe (original Frischs Diner). They have been there since 2012. I for sure will have to return.
Absolutely amazing place to eat great food and the best people I met the owner when they had a place in circleville Ohio and we went there every week
An out of the way amazing smokehouse menu! The wife and I over ordered because we couldnt make up our minds. I cant express enough how good everything was, a taste bud explosion. There was a couple items that Id never even thought of and exceeded my expectations! (Corn hashbrown casserole Im thinking was one) Price was fair. We will travel out of our way to repeat if in the area😁
This was a great place to drop in and try. If youre looking for something new, you will not be disappointed. Try the brisket! Ahhhhmazing!
Great food and service. We ordered the Destroyer and it was awesome! For about $9 (plus $1.99 for fries) we received a massive sandwich, which consists of a large amount of melt in your mouth brisket, cheese (pepper jack cheese is pictured), hand made onion rings, and jalipenios (we removed). This sandwich is a meal by itself! Our server, Nikki, was friendly and personable. She is a gem! Also, the sweet tea is truly sweet and no additional sweetener is needed. Im looking forward to returning here soon!
Food was great. I had the burnt tips and my colleague got the brisket. Tender and very tasty. BBQ sauce was very good. Definitely worth a stop.
First time eating here. This place is a gem. Seated fast, friendly service. Had pulled pork, friend had brisket and the other person had steak. All had baked potato and salad. All our food was excellent. Will definitely go back for more.
You can taste this pic by just looking at it!!!!! Totally recommend and will be going back! The service was great and food amazing.
Excellent service! I had The Burner and it was awesome. Meat was fresh and delicious!
Brisket was great and sweet potato casserole and green beans. The protein portion sizes were large enough to share, Id recommend the combo meal.
(July 9,2022) I went here with the expectation of having a great lunch from past visits. I was so disappointed with the meal that was brought out to us. I ordered the beef brisket platter with mac and cheese and onion rings as sides. I was brought a sandwich not the platter I actually ordered. The server stated it was cheaper. I wanted what I ordered not what the server thought she should bring to me. The brisket on the sandwich was nothing but fat and looked disgusting. The mac and cheese was cold. My family was with me and ordered loaded fries with chicken. It was awful, could not even be eaten. ( I went there for their burnt ends, but that is only served on Wednesdays now.) I would have been ashamed to serve the food we got. I asked to speak to the manager and was told he wasnt there. I asked can you please call him, and was told no. The older lady comes out with another sandwich that I never ordered in the first place saying how good it looked, yet it still looked nasty. I told her I didnt want it. She said I needed to pay my bill. I was being charged for food that I never received. I dont believe my family and I will be back. This place doesnt deserve any stars for the food we reviewed or the service as well. The floor was sticky and gross.. It was a horrible experience to say the least.
I am not a big bbq person but the reviews were good so I thought I would try it. They were not wrong!! Service and food were perfect. The waitress was great at checking on me without bugging me. The menu offers some great options that has me wanting to come back on the weekend for some prime rib. Thought of the picture after I dove into it.
Love the place great food decent prices friendly employees can order it to go walk in eat or order ahead for pick up i eat there at least 3 nights a week
The brisket was very tender. I really enjoyed the food, the server was very friendly. I would reccomend you check this local joint out.
Food was delicious!!!! Sweet potato casserole was AMAZING!!!! Fried pretzels were good too! Emma, the waitress was so polite and helpful for things to do in the area!
Amazing BBQ, server was great & friendly, it was our first time and we will be back!!
My husband and I agree, 7 mile smokehouse has the best steak around. The pricing is quite fair for the quality you get. Flavor was spot on!! Very family friendly atmosphere. Waitresses were great! We will definitely be returning, with the children next time.
We used 7miles as our wedding caterer and I have zero regrets. Greg was so flexible & responsive from the beginning, and he let us make the food what we wanted it to be. I kid you not- after tasting his food it was no question & for the 7 months after up to the wedding we ranged and raved about how amazing it was. Everyone had only amazing things to say about his professionalism, timeliness, friendliness, & cooking skills. We could not have had a better caterer for our day!!
I had the Mad Dog sandwich. I see all the reviews on here raving about this place and I try to rate places based on comparably priced and themed restaurants. That said, it was OK. The pulled pork tasted like pork, but it could have benefited from finer shredding to make it actually possible to eat it in the sandwich form. In fact, I cannot even consider it pulled pork as it was literally sliced smoked/roasted pork- I dont think it was slow simmered (there would have been a lot more flavor). Pulling the pork smaller would also give a chance to impart more flavor to the pork, which tasted decent, but again is nothing to rave about. The addition of simmering in their barbecue sauce (which was good) and some onions would improve the overall result substantially.The cole slaw didnt really have much of a flavor profile and was lost against the pulled pork and the added barbecue sauce. The only thing it added was a slight textural element but this was hard to detect against the massive slices of pork that also had the consequence of ripping the bread apart while trying to eat it like a burger/sandwich.The onion rings were decent and did not have any notable deficiencies from a technical standpoint.
7 Miles Smokehouse catered our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious. All of our guests raved about the food. Most even went back for seconds! Not only was the food amazing-Greg and his staff were wonderful to work with. They were professional and fun to work with. They were also one of the most cost effective catering options out there.
Did was decent but they were out of a lot of stock. They said they were out of Roubins (no, thats really how they spelled it).
We have eaten here many times and continue to come back because of the quality and great tasting food. The cherry bbq sauce on the smoked ribs is the perfect sweet/Smokey combo, and they have a spicier sauce for those who prefer that. We have ordered the Big South Sampler for carry out a few time and were very happy with the quantity of food for the value (about $25). The staff is very polite and happy to help make sure our orders are always what we want. In our household, we also have someone with a dairy intolerance, and it is easy to find items on the menu that don’t have cheese or milk (they may cook veggies with butter, for those with more serious intolerance). We consider this place a hometown stable when we don’t feel like cooking 😉
Always surprised at how good this place is. They run out of certain dishes. That should have clued me in. Lol
Really nice folks.really, really, really delicious steaks, caramelized beef tips & sandwiches
Very nice burgers and brisket, and pull pork. Too bad covid and supply chain issue cause them to not have ribs. I would have loved to have some ribs. Barbecue sauce was a little tangy, spicy and sweet. I like it. Very interesting flavor.
Incredible restaurant owned by an incredible person! 7 Miles Smokehouse catered our wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The food was scrumptious and Greg, the owner, was SO easy to work with. I 10/10 recommend this restaurant for all your catering needs. You will not regret it!
7 Miles has been a go-to of ours for years. Every time we eat here, the food is on-point and the service is outstanding. Even if you catch them sold out of a menu item, they still make you feel at home and you wont go away hungry.If youre on the fence, definitely check them out. The folks are down to earth and the foods delicious. Youll be glad you stopped by!
Was traveling through to visit a friend from out of state and we found this great place!Amazing service, REALLY amazing food and all around cute place!
Can you say amazing!!!!!!! Definitely going back to try their other 7 signature sandwiches. 1 down 7 to go lol... Going for the I 8 all 8!!!!! The staff is amazing as well.... Thank you to the 7 Mile Smokehouse!!!! We will most definitely be back!!!!
Excellent service and great BBQ. The chicken is amazing. Theyve got some great sandwiches-and a t-shirt you can earn by eating them!
The plus is the food wasnt bad and the bathrooms were cleaner than expected.The downside was dining room cleanliness and service. Everything in the dining area had a layer of grime on it. The server stayed hidden most of the time we were there, too the point of we wanted to get her attention we had to go looking for her.We were there for breakfast, I can only assume service is better during lunch and dinner. Looking at the grime on the windowsills and unused tables I doubt it.
Best kept secret in Chillicothe. Great food not over priced. Smoked meatloaf, brisket, chilli outstanding flavor. Service is spot on great.
Very smoky taste and great brisket I got one of the seven special sandwiches the mad dog if you eat all seven you get a shirt we did that a long time ago. Over all very great restaurant
As always the food is great and the service is just as good. They accidentally put the cherry sauce on my ribs even though I ask for sweet and tangy but I didnt complain because the cherry sauce is pretty good. Wife and kids love the ribeye steak and I enjoy the barbecue
Service was fast and friendly. Food was very good. Large portions of BBQ. Will go back again.
Keep the fire going. What we ordered was amazing! But due to the fire going out choices were very limited.
I love the big Mad Dog sandwich is unbelievable. Its shareable for 2 people or 1 hungry Payson but it taste so good the brisket is really amazing!! I recommend it. The Mad Dog only at this establishment.
Food was excellent (try the candied burnt ends if they are available) and the service was top notch, very friendly. Highly recommended!
Got the sampler platter, pork, brisket, chicken, pork was my favorite, good sauces and sides, quick, friendly service
Absolutely fantastic customer service and even better food. The candied pork is incredible. Strongly recommend.
The steaks were cooked just right for us. My husband wanted mashed & gravy but they dont have gravy. He needs it for dry mouth due to radition. He switched his sides, no problem. Sweet potato casserole was yummy.
Great people. Great food. The portions were huge!
Service slow. Fryer was not working, so no fries. Watch your bill for overcharging.
A family restaurant. Priced high for drinks and sandwiches. Brisket was greasy and very fatty. The bun it was served on was soaked with grease. Meat was not tossed/cooked with BBQ sauce, so the meat was not well blended with sauce.
Love it. The Ruben was awesome. Once I complete the challenge I will upgrade to five stars. I havent tried the BBQ pork yet so I cant in good conscience give it five stars, but honestly I dont think it will disappoint. Southern style. 10-15% more pricey than I would like but well worth it IMO.
As a person born in Texas, raised in Florida, and come to my own in Georgia, I fancy I know a thing or two about bbq. This place hands down is an absolutely satisfying and fulfilling experience. The food is prepared classically and the flavor and quality is just phenomenal.
Very good smokehouse. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend. Waitress did a great job. Service was very quick and efficient. Prices were comparable to other smokehouse weve been to. I ordered the brisket and my husband ordered the ribs. Both were very good. Their sides were the best weve ever had.
Tasty smoked meats & savory sides - A little pricey for the quantity recieved
The brisket was good! The mac & cheese and Cole slaw wasnt that great. Customer service was on point and location was easy walk for someone near the area.
Me and my husband are from southern VA, and this place reminded us of home! My husband loved the candied burnt ends and the sweet potato casserole. I had the pulled pork and it was delicious as well. Also, service was attentive and kind. Definitely a great place to try!
This family run restaurant as such accommodating and genuinely nice, friendly staff to back up the amazing quality of their barbecue meats. Like every other BBQ joint I have ever encountered, the sauces are nothing to write home about, but the wonderful meet doesnt really need it and their sauces are just fine oh, just not outstanding. The baby back ribs were the best I have ever had and that is my go-to when I do BBQ.
Server- Jared, fantastic service with all the helpful suggestions you could ask of him! Meals ordered- Big South, The Mad Dog. Both meals were large portions of the most incredibly delicious food! For the amount of food, the prices are very fair! Sweet tea was fresh and perfectly sweet. Location is clean and cozy. (Bathroom is COLD, likely due to its location in the building.) The only thing we were missing was wet wipes for the sticky fingers. Also, we were impressed with how quick the service is and the friendliness of the staff!! Unfortunately, there’s not a second location in southern Illinois for us to stop often!Parking lot was sufficient for us to pull in bobtail. Called ahead to ask about parking, but lack of information received led to dropping trailer before going.
Was pleasantly surprised at this quaint little smoke house. I had pork on the loaded nachos and will be getting the pork when I make it back. The brisket was cooked perfectly no huge sections of fat, it was very mild in flavor which I believe most people like. ( I prefer texas brisket with loads of beefy flavor and a little spice. Overall this place is a must try if in the area.
Tasty smoked beef brisket-truly delicious. The server was helpful and friendly. They have many other barbecue and smoked meats and chicken.
The fryer went out! Still good food!!! But Very expensive! $35.00for two people to eat basic sandwich!
After reading all of the great reviews, I couldnt wait to try 7 Miles Smokhouse. I ordered the brisket sandwich, and it was nearly all fat. Very little actual meat. The dog ended up getting most of it. I was so disappointed. Very nice staff though. Maybe it was just an off day for them.
I come here often. Food is great all around. Burnt ends, brisket and pulled pork are awesome. I highly recommend the steak. Best Ive had in town. Staff is extremely friendly and fun. If you have not been, put it on your list.
The five star rating is for the food and service. Barbecue ribs, pulled pork, and the burnt ends were great. Coleslaw I dont normally eat, but it was delicious. Onion rings were delicious. Building is older has set down dining. They are practicing social distancing, and mask, hand sanitizing, and so forth. Very pleasant experience would refer to anyone.
Food was delicious! You have to try the brisket. Very friendly and great staff!
I found this place after arriving in Chillicothe late this evening. I was tired, worn out, beaten down by a long day on the road. I checked in at my hotel, and went out for fuel and grub. Boy, am I glad I found 7 miles. I had a brisket platter, with baked beans and mac and cheese that make you lick a paper plate clean. The conversation I had while waiting for my food was great, the people were amazing, and the food was phenomenal. Id give them ten stars if I could...
This was our first time eating here and the food was really great. Our waitress was the best one we’ve had anywhere, very attentive and always refilling our drinks and getting whatever we needed. Highly recommend eating here!
Both had Brisket Sandwichs. Very good and tender. Also the Mac and Cheese was like homemade baked Mac and cheese.
Waitress was friendly & good service, great to hear country music while eating. I ordered the messy pig sandwich - it was good, my son had the sampler platter - it was much better. Unhappy to hear there were no burnt ends and it was only 11:47 am poor! I will not go out of my way to come, nor suggest it even if Im nearby. Overall I give it 2 stars.
I visited their location that was in Circleville a number of years ago, but had not been to the main restaurant before. The food was as good as I remembered. The staff was nice and service was quick. Restrooms were very clean. All and all, a perfect lunch. I would highly recommend any of their sandwiches, but their signature sandwich, the Mad Dog, is a perfect place to begin as it combines three of their smoked meats (pork, chicken, and beef brisket) in one meal. It is a sandwich best eaten with a fork it is so big!
The service is great but the food was disappointing. I got the mad dog sandwich, which was huge, but there was no coleslaw as advertised. The quesadilla was bland and underwhelming. Although the sour cream was good. The fries seemed very old and were not satisfying. Id go back for the Mac n cheese
The food was very enjoyable and they werent crowded, or at least when I was there. Service was friendly and fast, definitely will be going back.
This place came highly recommend to us.We live about 50 min away and decided to try it will traveling through. It was definitely worth it. We ordered the sampler platter, the Ruben sandwich, and one of the signiture sandwiches. The corn nugget appetizer and fried pretzels were great! Servers were friendly. Will definitely go back it’s worth the drive.
Delicious food! Clean restaurant! Great staff & owner! Great for families, date nights, breakfast, lunch, etc. The wait staff is friendly & attentive! Great experience all around every time! Try the burnt ends, ribs, chicken strips or steak on Fri/Sat. Youll be happy you did!
Always happy with the food we get here. I recommend the sampler, so you can try a bit of everything.
This little jewel come highly recommend and Im glad I went. A good BBQ is hard to come by. The staff was super friendly. The interior atmosphere took you back in time just a few years. A very clean 70s diner. Nothing fancy just very good food, clean atmosphere, fair prices and courteous service.
Drove down from Columbus to spend an afternoon in Chillicothe this week. Found 7 Miles on Google maps and really enjoyed the food. I had a huge quarter rack rib dinner with two sides for $10. Delicious and meaty!
Small Diner didnt wait that long for food even though they were packed after week was seated it was people standing and waiting first time there seem like a popular place in the staff was very welcoming
Pulled pork is awesome. The sauce I could drink like water. The service is always quick and friendly. You wont be disappointed spending money here.
No masks required, table separation was good. Recommend going early in the day since they had run out of ribs and another meat. Clean tables and sanitized.
Great service. “The Burner” was fantastic
3 stars isnt bad, but average. The brisket was AWESOME, but the beans and bacon were cold, and had no bacon. The onion rings were the regular frozen bulk restaurant kind (i expect the beans were from 5 gal cans) The waitresses were polite and attentive.
While driving down Bridge Street I was nearly hit by their company car due to them cutting me off in a rush to pull into the restaurant. Called in to speak with the owner, he said it was him and said he was driving recklessly because they “ran out of coleslaw”. I told him it was extremely dangerous and he said “well if that’s your prerogative then alright” and proceeded to hang up on me. Not someone I wish to support.
If youre in the area you should definitely give this place a try, especially if you love barbeque. I tried a lot of the different meats available and they were all very good, although the pulled chicken was my least favorite since it was a little dry. The atmosphere reminds me of your typical diner, nothing fancy and not a lot of seating.
It was pretty good. The molasses BBQ sauce was to sweet for my taste. The service was excellent.
Awesome food!
It is a very clean and maintained smoke house. The portions are of a good amount. You wont be hungry after you eat your meal. I have been there 3 times now and I have gotten the brisket each time. It is good brisket with the right amount of fat and meat. The sweet BBQ sauce is very good. They have a spicey sauce but I am not a fan of spicy so I couldnt tell you about it. I got the side salad which is a spring mix of good portion and ratio of different leafs and vegetables with a cheese mix on top. I was surprised by how good the salad was in a smokehouse. The sides which I got was the sweet potato casserole it is wonderful good mixture of pecan brown sugar and potato. The corn casserole was ok it was some what bland it wasnt horrible it just didnt really stand out. My wife got the same dinner with baked beans which my wife really loved, but the mac-n cheese was not good at all. The service has always been great it seems well staffed and the kitchen is pretty fast and can handle dinner rushes. Bottom line if youre in Chillicothe stop in and you wont be disappointed.
Came into 7 Miles Smokehouse this evening March 8, 2019 at about 17:00 (5:00pm). We were greeted as soon as we walked into the door. Our server Emma was amazing, such a sweetheart! She was quick, knows her job very well, and even catered to my son (way more than I wouldve). The food was spot on, hot and delicious, and the prices are more than fair. This was definitely one of my best sit-down experiences in the almost 3 years Ive lived here. Wish I wouldve tried this a couple years ago! I am quite the critic though and would like to see a bit more spacious booths. Overall, I highly recommend 7 Miles Smokehouse.
Our waitress Emma was delightful. Stacker bowls were so good with crispy cole slaw, sweet beans, juicy pork and cheesy Mac n cheese. Our fried pretzels were the perfect amount of crispy, fluffy, salty and sweet with BBQ and cheese. Sweet tea was so sweet which I loved! Mom loved The Mad Dog!
Unfortunately had a bad experience today. Usually the service and food are good. I ordered the thick burger (8oz) and was brought a thin burger (4oz). The reason being the waitress wrote my order down wrong. She did give me some macaroni on the house to try and make up for it. There were 3 people in my party. When the food was brought out I was missing my fries and 1 person didnt even get his food until 5 minutes later. Based on what Ive said they get 3 stars overall.
My family and I were just looking for a different place to eat in Chillicothe. Found this gem on Google and decided to give it a try. Found a new place to eat. Great food and great service. Everything came out in a timely manner and everything we tried was delicious!! Nikki was our server and did a great job answering all our questions. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and will be a new regular place for us to eat.
My husband and I visited for our first today,Ive wanting to try it for awhile its definitely worth the money you get huge portions you dont have to wait long on your order fast speedy service.We both would recommend it and will be back.
If you can catch the candied ends do yourself a favor and get them. There is a reason theyre sold out quickly. The appetizers can vary but the brisket fries are crazy good and can easily be a meal. Overall a quality local joint that is worth a visit.
This place used to be really good ,but its went down hill. Our loaded mashed potatoes were cold chees didnt even melt . Our chicken sandwich was nasty it was rubbery and didnt taste good . The service could have been a lot better also no refills till we were about to leave .
My first time visit..I was very pleased. A wonderful greating when I walked in the door . Gave me plenty of time to read all the menu. And my order was in a timely manner ,very hot and very good..my Philly was a melt in your mouth sandwich ...oh so very very good.Thank you. I will return . I had already advertised on Facebook to all my family and friends to try to visit here.Thank you so much.Lori
Server came as soon as we were seated, and the food (I had the triple threat - 👌) was delicious and served quickly. Our check was brought in a timely manner and everyone had a smile on their face. Atmosphere was really good, too; music playing, furniture worn but not dirty. Great little diner
Average at best. BBQ is cooked well but very little flavor. Onion rings soggy and mac & cheese needs a lot of salt and pepper. On a positive note, in house sauces are good and portion size on my platter was large. I’d probably pass on eating here again.
We didnt stay to eat. Not much offered on the menu, and they were out of ribs and Philly meat for their sandwiches. The waitress was kinda nice.
Amazing food and service. They treat guests like family. We are new to the area and this is our new regular spot. The smoked meats are sooo good and if you go on the weekends, the ribeye steak is so tender you barely have to chew it.
Loved it. Would of gotten a 5 star if the mac had more noodles.
Been there twice. EXCELLENT BOTH TIMES!! Peach cobbler for dessert was amazing, as were the entire meals. Friends loved it also
I ordered the Mad Dog with onion rings (instead of grilled onions) and my girlfriend got the Destroyer. We both loved our meals and the friendly service. We also had a great conversation with the owner afterwards. 10/10 would definitely recommend
We love this place! Great BBQ! The messy pig is awesome! This was our second trip to stop in and had them caterer our wedding last July! They wont disappoint!
We just had a terrific lunch. Our server Katrina was wonderful. The food couldnt have been better. A lot of food for the money. I highly recommend 7 Mile Smokehouse.
Food was outstanding! Highly recommend the homemade corn nuggets...these can be hit or miss depending on where you go, but I cant remember the last time I had any this delicious! Pulled pork melts in your mouth and the house barbecue sauce is to die for. The atmosphere is quaint, cozy and everyone is friendly. No frills here...they focus on deliving excellent food at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be stopping in every time I drive thru the area and telling all my friends and family the same.
Amazing food and service, do yourself a favor and this place.. and if you eat all 8 of their specialty sandwiches you get a shirt.. how cool!
My family and I love everything at 7 Miles Smokehouse! I dont think you could find a bad item on the menu. We love them so much we had them cater our wedding in April of this year. They did an amazing job, provided great service and everyone there loved the food!
Always good food and customer service
I was so disappointed after all the talk, but I will have to try it again to be sure. It doesnt even smell like a BBQ joint.To the owner. Pipe that smell inside, because you are supposed to feel like you are going to need a bypass just from the air and there is a weird kind of public restroom stink going on that doesnt help.
Love there pork sandwich, but I havent had more different items yet. But it is a nice, clean place to eat.
Amazing food. And at a great price. Go there about once every 2 weeks. Highly recommend it. They make any meat taste good.
Tried the Mad Dog today.... WOW! Definitely enough for two meals and so tasty. If you havent eaten there, you should! They are doing it right....
Excellent food. We had ribs and brisket and will definitely go back for more!
This throw-back to the time of drive-in diners sits on the out-skirts of the Chillicothe city limits and nearby Meade paper mill. The parking is ample and during a visit regularly patrolled by Chillicothe PD (most likely due to the wonky intersection next to the diner.) The diner has a simple design with a diner style bar and many many tables with some sitting four and some seating for two. The most remarkable aspect of the diner is the large glass windows that allows you to watch everything going on outside. The inside of the diner is clean if a bit aged. You will leave smelling like grease and onions but not as bad a if you were to eat at a White Castle.The service was excellent and our server seemed very attentive as he came back to our table no fewer than 7 times. At one point he even offered off-menu options for dressing for the fried corn nuggets. When ordering keep in mind that the portions are huge and even for a healthy eater you may be better served to order one entree and one appetizer to split between two people. Check out the pictures of the menu to see what your options are as there are several types of burgers, all that i have tried were excellent, and they most likely have what you are in the mood for that day.
Best brisket I have had in a long time. The baked Mac and cheese was like grandma made, loved it.
Limited menu but delicious food!
VERY GOOD, however BBQ quality seems to be somewhat dependent on who is there. Last time I was there, the food was very good, but not great, the time before that it was mindblowing, hands down the best brisket Ive ever had.Prices are also VERY good for the quality of the food, even on the down days.

Great locally owned and operated barbecue diner.Like any good bbq restaurant, they may run out of some menu items, so the earlier you go, the better your chances of having a bigger selection.
Absolutely amazing brisket and macheese! HUGE portions, fairly priced and great service. Cant wait to go back!
Excellent customer service and the food menu is perfect. You can’t go wrong with any of their signature sandwiches. Overall a very thoughtful menu, great food, and friendly servers.
Dag on good food right there!!
Awesome pulled pork sandwiches! Very accommodating staff. Decent prices. On site free parking. Family restaurant. Proper social distancing & masks.
Stopped at this little gem of a place on our way to Indiana. Family owned and wood and fire smoked meats (not gas)Kansas style. I had the pulled chicken with Mac and cheese and green beans and it was DELICIOUS!!! Carley was our sweet little server and was very helpful in explaining the menu and giving suggestions. If ever you are close to this little town Chillicothe, OH you must eat here. You will not be disappointed. Just a side note - read the menu...very interesting info.
I was traveling through town and was told by local that was the hot spot in in town for bbq.If this is the hot spot, then keep on trucking down the road.The pulled pork was mediocre and I certain the sauce comes out of plastic jug and fries were crinkle-cut frozen not fresh made.My co-worker ordered their grilled ham & cheese and he left half of it, said it was not worth taking home.I took half of my pulled pork sandwich for my neighbors dog.
The food isnt great. The mac and cheese is flavorless and the meat is dry, the corn nuggets taste like plastic. I went when they first opened years ago, wasnt impressed. Tried it again after seeing good reviews and it just wasnt good.
When we first walked in, the place has this old diner feel. The hostess was friendly and the wait staff was very attentive. The first thing that I noticed, is that there was no smell of smoke in the restaurant. You would have thought that the smell of smoke off the food would have added an aroma to the restaurant. Even with the barbecue pits out back you still would have thought the parking lot would have smelled like smoke, it did not.We opened with the fried pretzel bites with cheese. They were tasty but during the frying process the pretzel salt fell off. Were that salt there, it would have been really good. However, without it they were slightly bland.My wife and I both got the pork and brisket dinner. I got coleslaw and hash brown casserole, she got mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole. The brisket was very dry. The pork was very juicy almost a little greasy, but it had very good flavor. However, everything was devoid of smoke. If youre going to have Smoke House in your name the meat should have that sharp smell and taste of the wood over which that the meat was cooked.My hash brown casserole was a bit under done. The potatoes had some crunch to them. A bit of salt and cream would have made a world of difference. The coleslaw was really good. It was very thin shaven and had plenty of creaminess with a nice light sharp flavor. I tasted my wifes mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole and both were very good. My only complaint would be that the pasta was overcooked in the mac and cheese. You could have spread it on toast.Overall, I dont think I would go back to have dinner there. If I was going down to pick up some take out pork, I would make the trip.
Miss eating here worked in the area doing gas work 2 winters ago and dang near every day we ate there for lunch some of the best bbq around hands down!
Food was served hot it was tasty some food items were a little pricey but over all portions were big. The place looked clean it has counter seating plus tables and they have a cattering business and signature sandwiches 7 different ones i was pleased.
First time here and hopefully more visits in the future for when Im in the area, Emma was a good server! Thank you for recommending the sweet potato casserole! Deeeelicous! Sorry we took the last to servings well not really mmmmmm
Omgosh. The food is so delicious. And the staff very friendly. I highly recommend 7 Mile Smokehouse!
Good ribs, friendly service in a nice clean space right across from the paper mill. Brisket was also good. We will likely be back sample some more. Too bad Im not in town long enough to go the 8 for 8 sammich challenge...
Best restaurant anywhere, hands down!!
Food was amazing, drove and hr and 45 minutes to give it a try and was not disappointed
Awesome place to eat and very good pulled pork.. Get the family meals ...
I had the brisket with mac n cheese which was very tasty. Also friendly staff. Would definitely go back when I’m in town.
Dont like black pepper in every single thing. Let the guest put it on the food themselves.
Some of the best BBQ EVER!!!!! This place is amazing!!!! Have to try one of their signature sandwiches!! If you are passing through or in the area this is a must try. Trust me. Been here twice already and will continue to come back while Im here!!
Average food. Sweet potato casserole had way too much brown sugar. The pulled pork was pretty fatty. Husband said green beans were bland. Diner atmosphere.
It was my first experience here and I was very satisfied. The entire restaurant was extremely clean and the staff was very friendly. The food was pretty good. I plan on coming back
Working here from Indianapolis and decided to give it a go. Awesome food and awesome/friendly service. Got the brisket/chicken/pork combo with hashbrown casserole and mac. Will be back while im here to give the steak a try.
Worst meal Ive had in a long time! Cold food, mashed potatoes wouldnt even melt butter. All for $47. Never again!
The beef brisket is amazing!!!
The Mad Dog is the way to go if you are first starting out! It has pulled pork, chicken, and brisket all smoked with coleslaw on top. The BBQ sauce is a nice sweet cherry sauce. Different, but delicious!
The bbq sauce is really good. However you have to use a lot of it to cover your chicken ( the chicken does not have flavor on its own) and they charge you a lot just to get enough sauce. The fries are just Ore-Ida Fries that they heat (ive seen the bags laying around). We still eat it everyday at work though lol
Not the best BBQ Ive ever had, but its good. Good menu, decent atmosphere. Im closer to Rowdys and I believe it to be better food.
Great service, fresh tea, hot wings, large delicious bread sticks and cool fresh salad!
Best small town smoke joint ever. Prices are more than fair for what you get. Every sandwich is unique and I come here every time I go back home to see family. A must visit place.
Mad Dog burger was excellent. Best cole slaw ever.
Always so delicious and fresh 😋😋
Stopped by, by a serendipitous calling for food. We were more than pleasantly surprised at just how elated our taste buds were about to be. What a meal! Do yourself a favor and eat at this gem.
I stopped for a lunch break around 2pm. Oh my word, not only was the food amazing, Nikki was wonderful! I will definitely be back!! Try the sweet potato casserole!!
At noon, they were completely out of ribs. The food is pretty good overall, but some of the servers give terrible service. Hit or miss. They run out of food a lot and its not just on weekends or late in the day.
The food here is amazing as well as the prices!! Its amazing how this restaurant hasnt turned into a dominant chain. Ask about the Mad Dog. My favorite
Amazing food, prices, atmosphere, and service. My only complaint is that I am stuffed :) My family and I will definitely be back, Nikki is an awesome server thx again.
Awesome food and nice place, very friendly, fast found it by looking for * restuarant near me .* we are from out of town wanting something other than a chain restaurant
Very clean. Very friendly staff. And you get large portions, they dont skimp. Amazing menue choices. The food is terrific.
I didnt care too much for the pulled pork here, but everything else we tried was fantastic. Brisket, chicken strips, onion rings, baked beans, all very good
This place has superb customer service, great prices, and the best barbecue around. Every time I come to chillicothe I make sure to eat here and it is ALWAYS great!!!
First time to eat there. Being from out of town, saw it was rated 4 stars and decided to try it. The food and service were awesome. Going to recommend to family and friends.
Very good food, lots for the price. Friendly , courteous staff!
Great meat and sides. Very busy and service was a hair slow but I dont blame the waitress. 6 tables all sat at the same time.
We have visited several times. Food is decent, but not great. Options are limited in Chillicothe. Every time we visit the service is really poor (especially today). We left before getting our drinks due to being ignored for 20 minutes. Needless to say, we wont be back.
Surprised this place doesnt have a 5 star rating. Best food youll find anywhere in southern Ohio and the service is always good too. Try the mad dog.
First time eating at Seven Mile Smokehouse.I ate the prime rib sandwich🤩 it was good as hell cant wait to go back :-)
I ordered the barbecue-philly and it was absolutely amazing. Service was friendly and everything came out quick and hot. I will definitely be coming back soon.
Great food only been there once and cant believe i waited that long to go there thier is one of the best around chilly
Oh. My. Goodness. That was very tasty. Ribs, candied burnt ends, brisket, pulled pork. Lucky me, I have leftovers to enjoy it all again!
Food wasnt that good. Had Chicken Wings and Pin Feathers was still attached Mac & Cheese left alot to be desired
Amazing brisket and pulled pork. Great ribs. The sandwiches are HUGE and reasonably priced. The destroyer is my personal favorite.
Always excellent! Unreal food and value. Real barbecue.
The food is amazing. When they dont run out. Been there 3 times, 2 times they ran out of almost everthing. 1 time it was the best weve had in Chillicothe.
Went there today after a asking somebody wheres a good place to eat as we were visiting order 1/2 rack of ribs mac and cheese and mashed potatoes ribs dry not that great at all mashed potatoes cold like they were in the refrigerator before serving ate one bite and didnt not finish mac and cheese was good i kinda got a dirty vibe from the whole place didnt use the restroom but if you do you need to get the key from the counter like its some gas station or something over would not go back or recommend this place
It was really hot in the establishment. Our food was cold upon arrival. Waitresses were not very friendly at all. I wont eat here again.
This is an EPIC smokehouse. The food was delicious, service quick and cheerful and the prices were just right. Lastly, enough food to take it with us to enjoy again. We will plan to stop there again.
Best BBQ around. Smokey and nice flavors. Staff are pretty nice. The bathroom situation could be better. I think they are working on that now.
I had the smoke ribs they were awesome the Tea on the other hand was a little weak Other than that great service
The brisket is very good! Loved the beans and sweet potato casserole as well.
Ive been here multiple times and Ive never been disappointed. The food and prices are great. You get what you pay for.
This was our first time at this place and it rocked!!! Food and service was impeccable!!!! Only aggravation was those stupid little packets of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Inconvenient and difficult to open with arthritis.
If you like dry rub and bbq sauce its ok. But if they knew how to smoke they wouldnt need the Rubs and sauces. Sorry... not impressed at all..
Ribs where little dry but didnt care cause they where good and I make them that dry now and then. Portions was more than we expected. Very good
Wow! One of the best omelets Ive had. I wish I didnt have to start a diet tomorrow!
Great service! Never had any other BBQ in Chillicothe. Dont plan on trying the other BBQ places. This place is awesome
Found it by chance. Staff was great. Food fantastic. Had the brisket, onion rings & mac-n-cheese. Really good.
Ate here for the first time this evening, had the Triple Threat. Excellent food & service! Will be coming back!! 👍👍👍11-23-19

2022-01-23Service was awesome. Restaurant was very clean and the food was fantastic. My husband had the mad dog sandwich and it was huge. He said it was really good the meat was seasoned perfect and he said it was very tender. I had the big cheeseburger and added bacon and BBQ sauce. It was delicious. We shared onion rings and a hash brown corn casserole. It was out of this world!!

2021-08-25My only disappointment when leaving this fine dining establishment is that I was too full to enjoy eating any more of their fantastic food. DISCLAIMER ALERT: After eating here you will no longer be able to enjoy food from elsewhere. It will pale in comparison to the food served here. I thoroughly enjoyed the signature Mad Dog sandwich advertised on their sign, and recommend by the attendants/waitress. I followed it with some peach cobbler and ice cream. I left full, and completely satisfied. I did trim the fat off the brisket, because thats how I prefer it, and it came off very easily.

2021-10-22Definitely a local gem! We had passed it once before when we were in town and noticed it. So tonight when our reservation was lost elsewhere we decided to give it try and WOW! Jarrod was our server and even though it was closer to closing time he was friendly and knew the menu. Everything was great and highly recommended

2021-09-25We had an amazing dinner here. The fried pretzel bites were amazing, with plenty of cheese sauce. The brisket sandwich was cooked to perfection. The green beans had great flavor. The hash town corn casserole is to die for! The service was above and beyond!

2022-07-17First and like last visit. Stopped by in the early afternoon. After looking at the menu we both chose the pork only to find out they were already out. So my girlfriend chose the chicken and I chose the brisket along with the fried corn nugget appetizer. The appetizer was the best part of the meal. The chicken was tough almost to the point of not being edible. The brisket was quite good, moist and tender, it could have been trimmed a bit better. The sides were so so, baked beans were above average, the sweet potato casserole was good perhaps a bit too sweet, the green beans were well below average and the hash brown corn casserole was very disappointing. The staff was very friendly and the food did come quickly. All in all just nothing to make us come back..

2022-06-22Im updating my 5 star review to a 3. We were eating here quite frequently and our food was excellent. Last couple times the brisket has been full of fat. We paid $18 for a brisket platter and literally threw over half away. I understand times are hard and small businesses are cutting costs, but Id rather have less than sacrifice the quality.Fast and friendly service. The brisket is delicious.

2022-06-21The food was fantastic. Service was great as well. The mad dog sammich is a meal in alone.
