Big Dog Saloon

So we are traveling for work and found a local place to eat and have a beer via google and it was great! From the moment we walked in everyone was friendly...our bartenders Betsy and Katrina were very sweet and gave great food recommendations. The food was awesome y'all!! The people were friendly, the environment was laid back and chill, exactly what we were looking for after a long day of travel and work. We met some cool people tonight...Brad, Dan, and Cal were cool guys to chat with. Overall everyone made our day and we appreciated the kindness! We would definately come back if we are ever in the area.

My husband and I were told this bar was a great place to have dinner and drinks. I will say we were not disappointed. Bar staff was very friendly, we never had to wait for a drink and the bar was well occupied. Food was good. I ordered a bacon blue cheese burger, yum! Bun was nice and soft but toasted on the inside. We ordered homemade potato chips one order spicy one one order parmesan. They were a little salty, between the two of them I preferred the Parmesan. Overall a great experience. Rip the bartenders well they are great!

Walked in and there was a friendly vibe and interesting games and decor. Had a bloody mary, one of the best I've had in years. We had blue bacon burger, chicagodog and fried portabella mushrooms. Super tasty and freshly made. The dog was super sized and the mushrooms were especially tasty. Will be happy to return.

Ordered a bacon burger and double order of brew fries. Everything you could want in a bar burger, and the garden fresh tomatoes and crisp cold onion. AMAZING!

Stopped in for a special for lunch. Great atmosphere and food. Fun place! Wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to keep moving.

Blood mary was homemade and really good! Friendly, fast bartender! Wish it was closer to home!

Very friendly local bar. No food and doesn’t allow dogs even though google says it does but the staff was very helpful finding a place for me and my dog.

Took my parents here on a recent visit to Portage after hearing about the delicious burgers. We all agreed that the burgers were amazing! Great quality and generous portions at very fair prices. Kat, our bartender, was super-nice and very adept at the grill! Highly recommend!

I love this place! The owner is super nice and tends to come out and mingle with patrons on a daily basis. The staff is on point as far as fast drinks, good service, and great attitude, and the atmosphere is always good. The patrons range of all ages and all seem to be in good spirits when there. They do have a pool table as well as some video games. The restrooms are clean. The prices on the drinks are good as well.

Holley was a great do-it-all bartender/server/cook with a pleasant attitude, will definitely be going back

We were traveling from the Fox Valley area to the Dells, and were in Portage when hunger struck. This "bar" was open on an late Wednesday morning and seemed to be one of few choices. What a great choice it was! The staff was friendly and accommodating, pushing some tables together so that my family could all sit together. The food came quickly, had great flavor and texture. The best part may have been the bill. We fed 2 adults and 3 teenagers for $35. We all agreed that it was so good that we stopped again on our way home. The staff remembered us, and delivered another great experience.

Friendly staff, fast service, and most importantly - great food! I really enjoyed my burger and the "Chippers" with salt and parmesan.

Everyone was super nice...even though I got my first drink for $0.50 and my second for half price 🙃😅🙂 Friends I met there might not have been so happy for me. The pulled pork sandwich was just what I needed for a quick snack as well. 😌

First time in Portage. Stopped on a whim looking for food. Friendly bartender that made good burgers and bought a new shirt too!! If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop again!

On our way to Sheboygan stopped for a bite. Great food, great bloody mary and great prices. Phyllis was a sweet heart.

The owner is an awesome guy and the service is amazing. Quiet little bar to just relax and have a good time. Love this bar!

Good atmosphere, better food, great bartenders, inexpensive drinks... you walk into a 7 and walk out planning to come back to a 10

Love it loads of fun.

Best patty melt in the world! Phyllis is a rock star. Love the Big Dog!
