We recently moved to Mount Horeb, and after a long day of installing new tiles in our kitchen, we…read morewere craving some comfort food. We decided to try out The Dog House because it was nearby, and we were very pleasantly surprised! The Dog House has very nice outdoor seating in a deck/patio area. They have a good selection of beers, and the service was fast and friendly. But where they really shine is the food (which they prepare in a teeny, tiny little kitchen!). We had the Stuffed Super Tots, which are huge tater tots stuffed with cheese, bacon, and chives, and served with a creamy dipping sauce. They were very crispy and cheesy - will certainly have them again. We also shared a Monster Burger and a side of the Best Fries Ever. The fries were indeed excellent - fresh, hot, and crispy, everything you want in a French fry. The Monster Burger was huge (TWO half-pound patties, with cheese and bacon - plenty big enough for two people!), juicy and delicious. If you're craving comforting pub food in the Mount Horeb area, give The Dog House a try - it's a true hidden gem!

Time to update my review again -- and UPGRADE my review. I am consistently impressed by Viking Brew…read morePub. I love that it's a local joint, love that it has a legit Viking ship bar that blows smoke/steam, and love getting beer brewed on site. And a nice variety of beer at that. It had been awhile since I've been here, but it continues to be delicious. We came here for a Friday fish fry and while busy, the wait wasn't terrible at all. We went to the bar to grab a drink, and it seemed a bit wrong not to get a beer but it also seemed wrong not to get an Old Fashioned while waiting for a fish fry. So, Makers Old Fashioned Sour it was, and it was really good! I'd definitely order it again, and love that they didn't over-fill it with ice. It could sit for a bit and not get so terribly watered down. But OMG the fish fry! We try out a new fish fry spot every month, or at least most months, and I have to say this fish is probably my #1 that we've had. It was so delicious. The breading on the outside was light but crispy, and the inside was juicy and moist (sorry, it's really the best word to describe this!). I brought the third piece home (it took a lot of willpower not to eat it). I tear the breading off and give some of the fish as a topper for my pup's dinner. This fish and breading was seriously so good I'd eat the breading straight out of the refrigerator off the fish. The french fries were good, but had a few too many that were overly crunchy (reject fries, as I like to call them). Even so, still good and the fish still gets it 5 stars and the title of "Best." The roll that came with it was likewise delicious. Fun, local atmosphere and good food all around - the regular menu is great, the fish fry is great, the beer is great, and the drinks from the bartenders are great.

It was probably about 10:30am and we saw that they opened at 11:00am, so promptly at 11 we went over to the bar. I was very pleasantly surprised when we walked in - this place is huge! And the interior is very neatly decorated with a modern rustic kind of feel. The bar is large with plenty of seating, along with tons of other tables available near the bar or further away. We were a pretty sizeable group, about 15 or so strong, so I am sure our unannounced entrance was a bit overwhelming upon their immediate opening. Nevertheless, the bartender immediately asked the group "How many bloody mary's am I making?" Everyone was served along with the regular customers coming in for late breakfast/early lunch. I think there were only 2-3 staff members working and they handled it like champs. They were so nice and got everything out to the customers. I only had the opportunity to drink here, and while I was sad to see no dark beer options, a Summer Shandy is always a good failsafe. While it is not super close to home, I am definitely planning to make it out here again soon to actually enjoy the food as well. Definitely worth checking out if you're anywhere nearby!
