    I'm gonna need a bigger bowl! House salad with crispy chicken.
    Lxs S.

    Ope! A delicious Wisconsin delight. I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I was seated right away & received a refreshing glass of root beer within a couple minutes after I ordered. This spot definitely has a pub atmosphere. Big bar, good beer, plenty of liquor choices & tvs mounted for watching the game. I chose a house salad with crispy chicken & bacon. it was excellent! Crispy chicken means a breast coated with beer batter that was fried to crunchy, juicy perfection. Crisp bacon & lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese & homemade Ranch dressing made this a tasty meal. Every order I saw going to other tables looked good too. Prices are reasonable, bathrooms are clean & the staff are all friendly. Highly recommend.

    We were in the middle of nowhere, and saw a billboard for Ope Haus, stating that it was about 15 miles away. Looking at our GPS and then out the windows of my truck, 15 miles felt better than our options, and boy oh boy I'm glad we made the drive. The cheese curds alone were perfection, but it was my Mushroom Cakes, which were reminiscent of a crab cake but... I am assuming vegan? Not really sure what all was in them, but there is zero doubt if I lived within an hour of Ope Haus, I would order them *all the time* and bring every vegetarian I know along with me. Super super super good. Nothing about the atmosphere is particularly noteworthy, but it is worth noting that Ope Haus is in a town with VERY little else, so a little planning is required. Staff is very friendly, and even though it IS one of the only bars in town, you won't feel like you're crashing the party.

    Cliff's Notes: After we ate my husband said: why did you want to come here?? Typical pub, except the seating was not very comfortable. Our waitress was the best part about the place. The women's bathroom had a pool of some unknown liquid on the floor in the larger bathroom stall and I would hate to think of someone with a walker or wheelchair having to slosh through that. Ugh. As for the food, it was pretty bland. The cheese curds were either fried too long or the oil in the fryer was too hot, as a lot of them were hollow and didn't contain cheese. My mushroom scansin swiss burger was not cooked to medium as I requested (it was overcooked) and didn't have a grilled flavor. Hubby said his Nashville "hot" crispy chicken biscuit made him feel sorry for the people of Nashville if that's all the heat they could take. I paid extra for a brandy old fashioned with Korbel and seriously just tasted soda and simple syrup. This place was definitely not worth going out of the way for.

    This restaurant/pub is an excellent small town gem for Barneveld. We stopped on the way home for lunch on a Thursday. This place is huge! The bar itself is massive as well. The wait staff was quick and considerate. We started with sharing an order of fried cheese curds. They were excellent...lightly breaded and totally gooey. We found them a bit on the greasy side. Maybe the chef could gently drain them before plating? Our burgers and mushroom sandwich were all good values, as they included one side choice. The mushroom sandwich needed more seasoning or a special sauce, but it was cooked perfectly. The fries were awesome--crispy, hot, and not heavily salted. The burgers were nicely cooked but could have used more seasoning. The burger buns were especially fresh and soft. Nice place to stop by for lunch!

    Hubs and I stopped in for lunch during a fundraiser. Place was busy but the staff was attentive. Chicken tenders had an interesting batter on them-reminded me of sweet and sour chicken. Burger was flavorful. Cheese curds were the highlight!

    We had a great lunch with family on a Sunday afternoon. The menu has plenty of great options for everyone, and we all enjoyed our meals. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed. We sat on the patio which was pleasant. This was a great restaurant option near Governor Dodge State Park! We had the cheese curds, Hot Honey Fried Chicken sandwich, waffle & regular fries, and burgers. Everything was delicious!

    Such a perfect biking stop! Right off the Military Ridge Trail that runs from Madison to Dodgeville and past. After biking 32 miles from Madison to meet a friend from Dodgeville this hit just the spot. The ambiance is great and the food is even better!! I ordered the Ope burger and the waffle fries! Definitely adding this to my list!

    Drove 1.5 hours for lunch. I've followed this place on social media for quite sometime and just had to try it. Well worth it! Alex was a great bartender and was very welcoming. Clean place, nice decor and everyone was kind and smiling. Bloody. AWESOME! Food. DELISH! Such plentiful portions we both brought some "home for later". Their homemade ranch and French onion dip should both be in bottles to take home. So good! Perfect fries, my smash burger was great, the pub chips and French onion dip was just right. Husband loved his Horseshoe too! We will return! Wishing all the staff at Ope the best! Keep doing what you're doing.

    Great food and great atmosphere to enjoy the Badger game today. Waitress was friendly and checked in on us several times during our meal.

    This was a stop on our scour the rural Wisconsin land scape meandering to our dinner destination which was a cool way to do it and the same for our way home. This place is spacious and long with a long bar and hi tables along the window. Plenty of TVs makes it feel like a sports bar. The ceiling is a mix match doors for a cool look. Service was great with the friendly kid helping us. We didn't try any food and just a drink so I can't comment on the food. I tried my first white claw which was disappointing so I had the bartender throw a shot of raspberry vodka in it as a pick me up. Overall it was a nice place to have a drink.

    First time at this Barneveld spot and I thought it was great. Our server was excellent, providing recommendations, friendly and authentic. The food is heavy, cheesy, pub fare. So just know before you go that it won't be a healthy meal. The old fashions are good with all the options. The bacon bloody was tasty with house Bloody Mary mix. I had the hot honey chicken which was tasty, with sweet potato fries. We saw people getting prime rib, and the horseshoe which is chicken smothered with fries and cheese sauce.

    Gotta go there!
    Tom R.

    Omg, order the pulled pork Sammy. Wonderful pulled pork and BACON! Top it off with one of their in house mixed bloody Mary's. Ask for the spicy pickle vodka and or bacon smoked (!) vodka. It'll be your new favorite! Outstanding!!!

    Amazing food and friendly service. It's worth a drive here. Try a maple bourbon old fashioned!

    We have visited Ope a few times, both dine in and carry out. It's been great every time. Great Wisconsin Old Fashioneds as well.
