We went with the vegetarian pizza and it was impressive. Two of us could only eat about half of it due to the generous toppings. The other half has made some good snacks at home. Beer selection is pretty tame. Spotted Cow was the most adventurous thing they had on tap. We went with Fantasy Factory IPA in the bottle. Lively crowd of what appeared to be locals. They've got hooks on the ceiling to hang your snowmobile helmets! Note: Cash only. ATM available.

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!

He thought a half of a sandwich sounded good and the prices were very reasonable. He ordered a few different types of meat in his. The sandwiches are a good size and come with chips and a pickle. I love the vibe of the place. Original murals and bar. High ceilings. You can almost imagine yourself there 100 years earlier. They had a fun story about looking at the ceiling and the dollar bills up there. The waitresses were so kind and helped my son try to toss his dollar bill up there. He was easily entertained for about 15 minutes. I'd come back!

The steak was cooked perfectly as well and our server was knowledgeable and accommodating! The mushroom rice side was spectacular! My only concern was one guest at the bar was loud and using foul language. I was there with my mom and that did make the outing awkward. The bartender did his best to control and outburst and swear words as he was watching soccer but word of warning for those with younger guests.

The restaurant is fairly small, but cozy. The ambiance is very relaxed and social. It was a bit noisy but a good noisy, not obnoxious noisy; people having good conversations and lots of laughing. Our server greeted us in a timely manner and took our drink order. I ordered an old fashioned, my wife a Hugo spritz. Both were fantastic but just a heads up, the drinks were relatively strong. The menu is relatively small but still enough to choose from and not be disappointed. My wife and I both ordered the 5 oz filet with shrimp. We split a side of green beans. When our food reached our table, we thought that it might not be enough to fill us but we were more than full afterwards and agreed that anything bigger might be too much. The food was excellent, one of the better steaks I've had in a while. The service was good and our server, Sammy, did a real nice job of taking care of us without being overly intrusive. Prices were appropriate for the quality, maybe a little higher than you would expect but still worth it. If you're looking for a high quality, local small town steak experience that isn't a chain, I highly recommend Driftless Social.

This is a relatively new spot that I couldn't find on yelp so I'm adding them with this review and…read morepictures. This spot was formerly a lumber yard and now it's a very open public gathering spot with a bar, stage, bar games and plenty of seating. The place is huge with plenty of spaces for multiple, multiple groups to hang out. The inside is barn like with a high ceiling and cool exposed beams/wood work all over. The bar had a couple big screen TVs playing boxing and very out of place chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The sign says no public restrooms but the building next door has them and the winter time building because the great space has no heat. The bar has some taps with drink specials and most everyone was having domestic can beers for the most part. I had something my buddy ordered beer wise which I don't even know what it was but I liked it. I didn't see any food options and I thought at least get a pizza oven and serve pizzas to keep people from leaving and the $$ in the building.
