“ Small-town bar with high-quality eats. I got the Reuben. The bread was crispy with just enough bounce inside. Big, ole chunks of meat greeted me as I opened up my order. It was juicy and well-seasoned. I'll definitely come back and get this again and again. Out of 10, the burger I tried, the mushroom truffle, was delicious. The buns are top-notch, and it's a big, beefy burger. For the price, yeah, I know what you're thinking: the prices seem a little high. I'm telling you, it's worth it. They have homemade ranch, potato chips with a house-made fresh onion dip, and a twice-baked potato salad. Everything was so good. I'll definitely be spending my money here a lot. The service was friendly, as always. It's Wisconsin hell, a local might just thank you for stopping in. Definitely give it a checkout. I love the food, and oh, they have daily soups that switch out. Their French onion is permanent, though, and is definitely the one to try if you love French onion. Come stop in for lunch or dinner. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch with a friend today. First time I've been in DH since the new owner arrived. Food is great. This is the lobster claw BLT @ 17 and a tequila/cranberry. Came with choice of house baked potato salad or home made ranch potato chips with house French onion dip. Both sides are amazing, definitely recommend giving the home chips a try. I really wanted to try the cocktail menu, but time would not allow. They have some really great looking ideas on the list, including a variety of flavors from "Dousman sizzler" (jack Daniel's, triple sec, sprite, etc) to a salted caramel espresso martini. Atmosphere was nice. Clean tables, open areas to sit. Bar area was watching rodeo and outdoors/hunting channels. Gave a slightly upscale country vibe while still feeling homey in our little village of blue collars. Much more calm, well lit, and overall inviting than it used to be. Heard from our bartender that they'll be starting a Saturday prime rib special this week. Will definitely be back in the near future to check that out. ”
“ I went there for the Thursday Night Rib Special and I wound say the best ribs I have had in years and served with great corn bread and a pineapple coleslaw. The only thing I am not fond of is the high tables and chairs. The front entrance would not be desired if you’re handicapped. ”
“ Definitely the BEST Reuben sandwich ever! Tender corned beef, gooey Swiss cheese, kraut, on great rye bread! Crispy homemade chips. Super fast, friendly, and efficient service. Daily specials. ”
“ Great food, wonderful staff and updated/remodeled! Bartenders are multitaskers and sometimes are also your waitresses which if you have patience, it will be no problem! ”
“ 2 for 1 Bloody Marys on Sundays!! Made by hand and if you like horseradish just asks! This spot is much larger than it looks and has outdoor seating in downtown Dousman. Friendly Bar! Thanks for your hospitality Mark! ”
“ Started with Tortilla & French onion soup, then Big Burritos. Soups were very good, full of flavor, & not salty. The French O is as good as it gets. Ground beef burrito is giant & I’m not disappointed we have leftovers. As you can see, l had a bit before remembering to take a photo. ”
“ A friend recommended this place and I am so happy she did. The soup both the French onion and beer cheese were excellent. The double burger was so delicious and insanely huge, tried two different pizzas and the crust was thin and crispy and plenty of toppings and of course the Reuben was as described the best around!! Our waitress/ bartender was an absolute gem attentive, knowledgeable playing great music. I will definitely be back, so nice to have a new restaurant to frequent and recommend. ”
