Food was great. The bartender kept us coming back due to his fun personality. We had been there many times until the owner put his hand down my wife's shirt. We haven't supported their business since. read more

The server was friendly. Nothing special. The salad bar was decent. I ordered the 6 oz sirloin and shrimp. The shrimp was really good. The sirloin wasn't cooked enough (I asked for medium well) and wasn't very warm. So a little disappointed. My boyfriend ordered the 16 oz prime rib. He said that was really good. Prices were reasonable. Glad we had a Bucky book coupon though. read more

Went for Friday night fish. Busy with fast table turn around. Choice of cod, bluegill or perch. The batter was light. Full salad and soup bar with delightful corn fritters. Just enough space- 45 wait for the table for 6. Able to get seats at bar after 20 min. Seafood chowder in salad bar was one of three soups, great crab flavor light potato. Fish is worth the drive. Casual supper club. read more

The food was delicious! They have a lot of options. The kid meals are priced well. The staff was so friendly! Great experience!

Always a fantastic meal with fantastic service. We have been there several times and no matter the amount of people there the food is always consistently excellent. Great breakfast, great steak, fantastic fish fry and amazing desserts. The soup and salad bar is soooo good with homemade soup daily. Just don't eat the tuna pasta salad, cause I don't want it to be to popular and then their won't be any when I go!!! It's delicious!!! This place is such a gem with friendly, funny waitresses who get the orders correct, are quick and helpful. It's one of our favs and we will continue to give them our business! read more

The food was excellent and our waitress, Lisa, was even better! We found this gem for the first time but will return on a regular basis!!!

Average at best ate there Friday night all items on salad bar that were suppose to be hot just barely warm food was just ok.

Riley's Bar & Grill (Bob & Lisa) is our normal stop but being very patriotic place they were packed for Memorial day party. We drove down the street to find B&B and what a score. The services was great to start with and the soup & salad bar was spot on with 3 homemade soups. I had the bacon wrapped pork loin and my daughter had the French dip that where both awesome. Wish we had room for the pie. read more

Excellent bloody Mary's! I highly recommend this place for lunch. The Ruben was amazing and they have a nice soup and salad bar.

Food was pretty good. My kids had pulled pork and a burger and my wife and I had fish. The hostess was very friendly and tended to us very quickly. This rating could have been a 4 star but this place was packed with people and only one mask could be found. NO social distancing was practiced. NONE of the staff were wearing masks! This is the height of the pandemic (so far) and our hospitals are full. I've been there twice in the past 2 months, both experiences were the same and both experiences left me feeling unsafe. I will not return. read more

This place is a small little area behind our house that we actually really enjoyed. We had the Soup and salad bar. We also had Hot chocolate. We also had the spinach dip and a Montecristo sandwich with sweet potato fries. To start off with the salad was a basic tossed iceberg lettuce combination that had carrots and an assortment of vegetables. I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce so the salad was not that enjoyable. They did have a good variety of toppings and one thing I really enjoyed there was there a tuna salad. It was homemade when I asked the waitress in tasted very very good. I would give the salad it a two out of five but their tuna salad a five out of five. Their soups were phenomenal. I do not know if they were homemade or not but they were very very good. My favorite of the Soups was the cream of broccoli followed by the ham and bean soup. I also tried the beef and barley which was pretty great but was forgettable compared to the other two soups. The ham and bean how to surprising lime kick to it. The hot chocolate was pretty decent but they did not have any marshmallows. I'm glad they used milk instead of just hot water like a lot of places do so that's a bonus. For an appetizer we ordered the spinach dip. The spinach dip was a huge portion and fantastic one of my favorite things from there. It came with butter toast and tortilla chips which both complemented the dip very well. My boyfriend had the Montecristo ham sandwich with a side of sweet potatoes and pickles. He said that it blended very well together and the food was a great experience and the sandwich had a great pop of flavor to it. I will definitely be coming here again and I recommend it for anyone else. If I would have to say anything I would say skip the basic salad and have the tuna salad and soup it is very very good. read more

This place is great if you just order the things they are good at (bar food and salad bar). I'd say 30% of their menu is quite good!

I made a more recent trip! Update time. Despite coming in shortly before close (which I hate doing, because...y'know, it's kinda a dick move), the server was super friendly and attentive. My friend and I both had a lasagna special. It was really saucy. I enjoyed it. The salad bar is pretty well stocked, even later in their dinner service. It seems like they're on the right track. +1 star. read more

Waitress was hurried and flippant. Received the wrong order, then the mashed potatoes were cold and had to be reheated. When told the prime rib was tough, she replied that "no one else had complained about it". A waste of time and money for us and will not recommend or return. read more

Wonderful service and extremely accommodating for our group of 11. Delicious food as well. Highly recommend!

This establishment is the worst I've ever been to. The waitress with the grey hair has been very disrespectful since I have walked in. From the loud and speedy voice to getting everyone's order wrong, she is the worst. This old lady should not be a waitress if she is going to be rude to her customers. read more

Wow! The menu was versatile and very tasty. Serving sizes were VERY generous. Service was prompt, courteous and professional. We tried the Octoberfest beer on tap. Light and refreshing. Prices were incredibly reasonable. Their beef barley soup was excellent, generous vegatables in soup and not salty. Burgers were 1/3 lb. or larger. Flavorful and served hot. Beef chimichanga was enourmous, which included rice, beans, and a lovely little lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese and olives at its base. Food was fresh and well prepared. The dessert case had homemade fruit pies, cheesecake and cake slices. Dutch Apple pie was made with organic apples. Yummy. This is a gem of a restaurant. They have a large screen TV around the bar. Recommended by locals. A MUST try for your entire family. read more

Mannnnnn.... the food here is delicious TRUST ME THE BEST IN PORTAGE, i stop here on my way back to Chicago & it was great the service is wonderful , small place for a small town but still don't pass this up you won't regret it . read more

GREAT breakfast place! Never empty coffee cups, and eggs just the way you like them. Lunch and dinner are fine, too, but it's not always easy to find a good early morning eatery. read more

This place is surprisingly good! I have known of B&B Hitching Post for some time now. I have family that lives in Portage and we would often forget about this being option when we wanted to dine out. We decided to try it one night during the week and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, quality of the service, and the cleanliness of the place. Everything was perfect. The soup and salad bar provided many options. The menu had tons of different choices. I had Cod which is available any night of the week, it was really good! Another family member also ordered Cod. The third person decided to try the chicken strips and he described them as home made and VERY good quality. The waitress was very personable and even had a southern twang to her accent! She was quick to provide the check when asked too. The only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars was the fact that we never received our appetizer, cheese curds. We asked for them and requested we get them first. We never did get them, when we received our food we decided to forget about it. They weren't on the check either so we didn't get charged. Generally I'd say something but we celebrating an occasion for a family member and I didn't want to sound like I was complaining. We will be back for sure! read more

Had the House special 1/3 rack with 2 piece chicken... been in portage for a week and this was the best meal yet. Fried chicken is a must, crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside... even the breast. 5 stars! read more

B&B Hitching Post - American Near Me - Portage, Wisconsin

Enjoyed the prime rib. The food was okay for the most part, since it can be considered as an Olive Garden with its unlimited soup and salad buffet style. The overall feel of a local diner or restaurant. In addition, there was a very eccentric waiter. Since this place is in the middle of nowhere, I would most likely come back if I am around the area. read more

Good food all around. The staffing was a bit short being it was the lunch hour rush. However you won't find much better in Portage.

Great place I found here in Portage WI.!!! Lovely servers and food is the best around here!!! Trust me I've tried alot and this meets my expectations!!! read more

1 1/2 hours to wait for seat when ur promised 45 minutes is unacceptable parts of several meals were cold salad bar the ran out of things very poor experience would not recommend there r a lot better places in the Portage area close to where we camp at Skyhigh!! read more

We recently moved to Portage, & have been trying local spots to dine. Short and sweet. We ordered from menu. They also offered buffet. ~ We were not told about buffet. My dining companion asked for American cheese over her hash browns. She got mozzarella/cheddar mix. My potatoes were old & had been reheated multiple times. They tasted of nothing but old oil. The texture was waxy and oily. & although they were hot when served, they went immediately cold. So, that's microwave reheating. The waitress cleared our plates. My potatoes were intact. Not a single question as to why my plate was half full. Not coming back ever. read more

The steak was a huge disappointment. Probably the worst steaks I've ever had. I got the 22oz ribeye and my husband got the porterhouse. Both were awful. It tasted like hamburger smells when it's been left in the fridge too long. Old meat. Both were extremely gristley as well. They were cooked correctly, beautiful grilling and perfect on the temps, but just bad meat. The salad bar was great, and good soup too. It's a shame they served us old meat though. ** I forgot to mention, the "au jus" they gave us, was not au jus but soy sauce. I wish they had told me it wasn't au jus, because I dipped a bite of meat in it and it was like taking a drink of kikomans soy sauce. Gross read more

Was traveling through Wisconsin for a weekend trip and stayed in Portage. After getting several recommendations from local residents, we had to try B&B Hitching Post. What a great find. Awesome service from Brian and Mike (one of the B's in B&B makes much of the food himself) along with the rest of the staff. We had the shrimp and prime rib, both were great! They make a nice drink and have a nice bottled beer selection. read more

The unassuming exterior and interior is more than made up for in quality service and food. Great casual environment for a good meal. Reasonable prices. We had the most helpful and friendly server who went out of her way, without being asked to find an iPhone charger so we could have directions back to Illinois. read more

This was the best surprise!! The food was fantastic!! I had the soup (Corn Chowder). All soups were homemade and delicious! Salad bar was very fresh. Not only was the BLT Chicken wrap beautifully crafted, the taste was incredible. The beer battered fried were hot & crispy and flavored perfectly. I couldn't resist the homemade Coconut Pie. All of the trips I make past this easy to find, Gem. I will stop many times to come. ps. Our server was prompt, professional and so friendly!! Highly recommend it!! read more

Try everything....it's all terrific. They have the best breakfast around! My favorite is the spinach and artichoke frittata and my husband always gets the country skillet. This is a top pick for office lunches, service is quick and the food is always as expected. Their fish fry is perfection! The steaks are always done as ordered. Their chicken strips and burgers are some of our kiddos favorites. The staff is well trained and super nice. We always recommend the Hitching Post! read more

My family and I had dinner here and it was the best food we've had in a long time! I had the ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection. I also highly recommend the beer battered fries and if you get ribs (also super fantastic) get the house BBQ. So delish!! It was all so filling yet we still made sure to save a little room for homemade pies. You can't go wrong here. Our server was also a sweetheart! Great service and great food!!!! Just make sure you don't pass it up!! read more

B&B Hitching Post - My super yummy ribeye!! - American Near Me - Portage, Wisconsin

Stayed in Portage for a 2-day hiking trip to Devil's Lake and found this place via Yelp. There was about a 30 minute wait to be seated, which wasn't surprising as it was a Friday during prime dinner hour. Sat at the bar and got a couple of amazing Old Fashionds from the attentive bartender. Once seated service and food were both great - we got the fish fry - I had the beer battered cod and my husband got broiled mahi mahi. Both were juicy and cooked perfectly. There was a great seafood chowder on the salad bar, and everything else on there looked fresh and appealing. The ambiance isn't anything special, but the food and service more than makes up for that. read more

The more they change the more they stay the same. Fish has changed. Not for the better. Kinda skimpy on the fries and the size of the patty in the patty melt. The decor is much improved. The best part of the meal? Seeing Jodi and Lisa. Probably the only reason we go in now. Especially with the way the hostess behaved, again. When we said 2 of our party of 6 was 2 minutes away she rolled her eyes and said we had to wait. But right after we sat down she put a party of 4 with only 2 people there at the table behind us. Think I'll be spending my Fridays somewhere else. Sad about that. read more

Drove past for years, remember as a kid when it was the Cloverleaf, I believe. Just another bar. Then someone said how good the food is. So, give it a try. Clean, attractive with the sweetest waitresses in town. Small and cozy. A menu of PAGES! If you can't find what you want here, go home and eat cereal!! And Mondays is senior day when everyone is welcome no matter the age. They offer a list of, hmm..ten items or more? Varies a bit week to week , but still drives one bats trying to pick. I want the meat loaf..no..broasted chicken, uh..ribs? Liver and onions..NOT! And you get enough, if you are a light eater, hello to go box. Monday even includes a little dessert! Of course there is always the large salad and soup bar that fills you up before the meal! Feel free to order off the menu. Each day has a theme special. From appetizers to seafood, prime and steaks..all at fair prices, done right and served with a smile. Need something changed, just ask. Happy to try. I am not in town often, but if Mondays it's a MUST stop. Warning, after 5 gets busy and you might have to wait for a table. read more

Good fish fry, both broiled and beer battered. Sweet potato fries -- yum. Finished with homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. Definitely worth the money. read more

I had breakfast at B&B. The service was terrific! The waiter was very friendly and didn't even get annoyed by all of my questions and alterations to what I was ordering. The Bloody Mary was fabulous one of the best I have ever had. Not too spicy but just enough to make it flavorful! I loved that they had quite a few selections for breakfast which in this area is uncommon. I went for an omelet with crab meat & asapargus and it was super yummy! I think this will be our new choice for ladies breakfast dates! read more

This place is perfect for a Sunday brunch. They have deep friend shrimp, salad bar, potatoes, broasted chicken, eggs, desserts all you can eat bacon...etc and much more. The skunk burger outs great too Small town oriented and definitely ask for Lisa to be your waitress. She's awesome! read more

Yum! Stopped here for lunch. Extensive menu!! Salad bar had many items to offer and three kinds of soup. Broasted chicken was crunchy and fresh. Service was great and the decor upgrade is very nice. Many fresh homemade pies to choose from and the strawberry pie won out. Super!!! We'll be back! read more

We had a very disappointing experience with the wait staff here. We arrived around 1pm and the waitress took our drink order. She came back a few minutes later and we began to order breakfast items and she informed us that they stopped serving breakfast at 1pm, just a few minutes prior. So we looked at the menu again. When she came back next we wanted to order the soup that was listed on the chalkboard out front but she informed us they didn't have soups on Sunday (except at the salad bar), the opener must have forgotten to erase it. When she came back again we asked for the soup WITH the salad bar and she said it had been cleaned up already and she seemed very annoyed with us. When the food we ordered came it was fine, not bad. Finally we had to get another waitress to find our waitress to get our check. The other waitress was very sweet but overall it was a frustrating experience. read more
