Went last week with friends, had been before had fabulous baked fish so I ordered it again. Came out hard and brown and rubbery, almost like shoe leather, my friends didn't look too bad but I was shocked that they would actually serve it, it was so bad.Asked for a differnt fish, came back 1 sm pc undercooked, not even warm. By then everyone else was done, I had ate my potato and slaw. So the waitress brings me out 1 deep fried pc and never charged me, but by than I was so disappointed in the whole meal. It will be a long time before I go back. Too bad because our other meal there before was great.

Our daughter said this place was pretty good under the previous ownership so we thought we'd give it a try. We weren't really hungry so just ordered burgers. They were just ok, fried rather than grilled. They didn't have much taste but were pretty big. The french fries were spiral cuts of potato, breaded and deep fried. They were interesting. Our waitress stopped and visited with a table (not her customers) for about 20 minutes while we waited for our bill. That was not impressive. We'll go back but next time will try dinner or pizza instead. Maybe they'll do a better job on that.HI,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's unfortunate that the service didn't meet your expectations however using this feedback myself and my team can try to improve. If possible could you give me the date and time you came to my restaurant? Personal email is [email protected], I'd like to hear any other suggestions or comments. Again thank you for the review and hope to see you again Chad

We visit Portage about once a month and our first stop is Big Dogs. They have the best burgers in town and then some. We enjoy the Saloon atmosphere and friendly folks here. Stay for a while or maybe a little longer, prices are reasonable and drinks are good. Highly recommend

Exactly what we were looking for, a bar and grill with a clean and open atmosphere that is not a chain. Decent craft beer list, great food, and there was even a vegetarian option (the pesto panini). Staff was friendly, great service. Glad we stumbled upon this place and we left very satisfied!

This place is wonderful. Donât let the outside fool you...the inside is a cozy northwoods restaurant. The bar area is huge...with excellent drinks reasonably priced and great service. The food is fantastic...we were there for Friday night fish fry. Staff is attentive and friendly...portions generous

Based on reviews, we decided to meet for lunch in Portage as a half way point between cities. We are so glad we did! Besides having seating at the bar, they have a room filled with comfortable furniture and large screen TVs that provide the perfect environment for conversation and for watching a Badgers basketball game. The food choices were far more than we imagined. I enjoyed a philly cheesesteak with a side of deep fried pickles. Order the deep fried pickles! They are planks, not slices, fried in a crisp, light, tasty batter and served with dipping sauce. My friend had the chicken ranch wrap with fries, which she loved. Also, kudos to the incredibly helpful and friendly waitress! Do not be deterred by the outside as a "hole in the wall" mentioned by one reviewer - step inside and give the place a try.

Suzy's opened recently. It was located at the Portage Country Club but an old restaurant opened up and they moved into it. The menu has changed for the better as well as the atmosphere

We dined here during our ski vacation to Cascade. The place is cute and clean. The service was very good. My husband's steak was good. I ordered the salmon. It really had too much bearnaise sauce on it, but it was cooked perfectly. I would ask for less sauce or on the side next time. If I was in the area again, I'd return. It's a nice family owned restaurant that has earned our support.

We met some friends here since it was a halfway point for all of us. Having never been here before, I wondered if it would be any good since the decor is a little outdated and it's kind of a dark bar. But as we got settled into a room near the back, we watched the place fill up with people, we knew the food had to be good. We were not disappointed. We had pizza and the guys had the special of the day - a steak sandwich, which they said was great. Would stop back here again.

We have found another favorite place for Friday night fish. We are 6 month seasonals at Lake Delton & always looking for a different Supper Club. We were pleasantly surprised. Very nice fresh salad bar. Only thing negative was that the Corn Fritters weren't very hot. Beer Battered Cod, Perch, Beer Battered Cod & Chicken & Baked Cod were our choices. For sides three had Hash Browns, one French Fries, & I had the Baby Reds which were cooked perfectly. Everyone was pleased with their entrees. First impression excellent with Brian the bartender who mixes a darn good cocktail & continued with efficient, friendly service from Lisa. A busy place is always a good sign. We had about one half hour wait is all. We will definately be back. It is well worth the drive away from the busyness Dells area.

The shrimp were smaller than expected for the price. The scampi were rubbery and overcooked . The deep fried were OK. Didn't care for the stuffed.The waitress was excellent. Our friends had the senior fish baked and the pieces are pretty small. The drinks (Old Fashions ) were very good and a good price. Would prefer to just go for drinks and an appetizer. Food quality hasn't been consistent . Bar staff is awesome but very crowded at times.
