Stopped in for a couple of beers & early dinner. There is a big bar to sit at, which we like. Bartender was quick to take our drink order & give us menus. I had to ask for drink & food specials. She was not very forthcoming with what was included in happy hour. I ordered broasted chicken which was delicious & my hubby ordered an open faced hamburger that he also enjoyed. The place started to get busy in the dining area which is an extension of the bar area shortly after 5pm. This is a place you could bring your family. The menu has a variety of options. There is a large area outside and would be a great place to hang out when the weather improves. read more

Weather was beautiful, and we wanted to sit outside, so decided last minute on Papa Stache. Generally a solid choice. I had the Southern belle chicken sandwich which was delicious (with homemade chips). My friend had cheese curds (I'm not a fan, but she loved them) and bacon wrapped chicken bites. Outdoor area was busy and our waitress (Jodi) was hustling! They have a huge bar with slots, pull tabs, bar dice, pool. Clean, nice place with alot to choose from on the menu read more

Always wanted to stop here because it always looked like a cool place out in Big Bend. It was pretty busy in there. I guess the warm 80 degree day in October brought everybody out. They have a typical bar set up with plenty of gaming machines, pull tabs, pool table and darts. The menu was pretty big. Servers were nice bt they really looked short staffed. I settled on a BLT with Tots and my husband just got a cup of the Cheesy Jalapeno Soup. BLT was good, served on Texas Toast, Tots were ok, a little on the greasy side. Husband said the soup was good but nothing to write home about. While our meal was OK, there is just too many other places to try before we go back read more

Needed to celebrate and this place was on our way home. Never been before so we figured time to give it a try. The drinks were good. I had an old fashioned that was delicious and the price wasn't bad. We ate outside it was beautiful night with great ambiance. Kudos to the wait staff. Our waitress was very nice and very attentive. My husband had the wings. We have a high bar when it comes to wings. These were not the best we've had but my husband did say he would order them again so that says something. I had the Philly tots and was totally happy. Next time I'll try something else. We had a great celebration and will stop by again f we are in the area. read more

Service was a 0/10. Stood there for 10 minutes and every single waitress and bartender avoided us like the plague. We had no idea what to do and when we went to the bar they said "we can put you on a list", but then never explained how the list worked or how long it would take and then immediately proceeded to ignore us again. Didn't take our number or anything. Waste of time and they were incredibly rude so we left . I guess you have to be a local known resident to eat here. read more

Public service announcement: if you drink wine, forego ordering a glass and just order a bottle. You can take home what you don't drink. A group of us stopped by Papa Stache's last Saturday and I went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine and some other drinks (I left a greater than 30% tip). You can imagine how surprised I was when I got over to our table with my $14 glass of wine and realized it literally was around 2 ounces of wine. So I thought perhaps I had grabbed the glass of wine too soon and maybe she had emptied one bottle and needed to open another bottle to give me the usual 5 ounce (ish) pour. So, I returned to the bar and asked the bartender if this was a usual pour of a glass of wine to which she abruptly told me that this is the size of their pour and proceeded to walk away and slam things behind the bar. I'm over here flipping a coin still trying to decide which of the bartender's traits is my favorite... the bad attitude or the resting bitch face. It astounds me how someone who works in the service industry can possess zero customer service skills. Anyway, my zero star experience with the bartender and my $14 "glass" of wine averages out to an overall rating of three stars because our waitress was kind and our wings were good. read more

Papa Stache - $14 glass of wine before taking a sip out of it. - Pubs Near Me - Big Bend, Wisconsin

Great location. Great atmosphere and friendly people/staff. Food is always good. Fish fry Fridays are very popular here.

Ultimate tatter tots. That is what started out our menu options. I drive truck for a living. A number of truck drivers recommended this establishment. So my wife and I thought we would give it a try. Lindsey, our waitress this evening, Phenomenal! It's Wednesday wing night special. Wow! Got 4 six packs all boneless. Four different sauces. Bourbon, garlic parmesan, Big Sexy! Buffalo Big sexy sauce you could eat all day. Buffalo has a little bite to it like every buffalo sauce does it's good nothing special or different. Bourbon sauce initial taste was like Carmel Corn. Garlic Parmesan definitely a second favorite. Just make sure you have the right drink to wash it down with. All and all positive experience Bon appétit read more

The Fish Fry Fiasco and the Table Tango Oh, what a night at Papa Stache's! The fish fry was so fantastic, I almost forgot I was in a pub and not a five-star restaurant. The service was so satisfying, I half expected the staff to start serenading us. And the ambiance? Absolutely awesome! It felt like stepping into a cozy, rustic haven where everyone knows your name. Tip: Seating is first come, first serve, so apparently, you need to stand over a table like a hawk and pounce the moment someone leaves. We thought we were waiting for a table to be cleared, but we kept "losing" our table to more aggressive diners. Lesson learned: next time, we'll bring our own flag to plant! Despite the table tango, we ended up at the communal table. We were a party of five, seated with a party of three, but we quickly became one big, happy family. Who knew that losing a table could lead to making new friends? Cheers to unexpected camaraderie and delicious fish fry! Would definitely recommend, just bring your competitive spirit for the seating arrangements! read more

A great local bar restaurant filled with lots of craft beers and excellent cheese smothered pizza. I love the local atmosphere there you can pick up a conversation with anybody at the bar. read more

A nice stop for a beverage and a bite to eat. Service was very good considering it was crazy busy and looked to be short staffed. Burger was good and cooked perfectly. Sides were on point. Easy and quick. read more

First came here in ~2018 and loved it. Love the food and the atmosphere. Went again last week (we live in PA) and loved it even more. If you're looking for something with a local feel and great food. The Stache is your spot! read more

This place has been on my radar for years. I drive by it ever so often on my way to Waukesha. Tonight we stopped to see what they had to offer. We were not disappointed! It's not your average pub and grill. Drink specials every night, and in the summertime they have row boat rentals and horseshoe pits. Also they have outside dining. Tonight we enjoyed their smoked riblets, and one of their signature burgers. I had the "Let's Make Burgers Great Again." A 3rd pound beef patty, with Swiss cheese mushrooms and grilled onions. Fresh cut french fries on the side. Tammy had smoked riblets, with sweet potato fries and we both enjoyed a bloody Mary to wash it down. Excellent service, and reasonable prices. Definitely a return trip. read more

We inadvertently fell upon Papa Stasche years ago on our way to Lake Geneva and have been looking forward to returning. Today was that day!!!! Let me tell you it did not disappoint!! Our waitress Stephanie was fantastic and very attentive. Our food came out fast, hot, and fresh. Our orders were perfect. We got exactly what we asked for. Everything was delicious. I can't recommend making a pit stop at Papa Stasche!! It's so worth the trip. You won't be disappointed read more

I went here for a quick bite after going up to Wisconsin for a Jeep part. I enjoyed the atmosphere it's a small but quaint place. The server was nice and she knew the menu well. I would come back here for a Spotted cow and a burger sometime. read more

Papa Stache - Big Sexy Burger & Fries - Pubs Near Me - Big Bend, Wisconsin

Awesome food great service and great prices. I've never had anything I wouldn't order again.

It's a cute little place! It's pub food.. the burger and fries I got were yummy. They were freshly hot and the waiters were very nice! It's definitely a place that is hard to go to during peak hours due to not having a crazy amount of seating! Overall the food is yummy and the employees are nice read more

Bloody Mary on the menu: "secret blend, Wisconsin state fair winning recipe. Horseradish infused Tito's vodka with served with healthy sized shrimp and olive." Actually Bloody Mary I got: It was like someone squeezed the juice out of an actual tomato and then mixed this watery tomato juice with vodka. I received no ~healthy sized~ shrimp or olive If ur looking for a good bloody avoid papa stache at ALL COSTS read more

Almost scared to post this review that the secret might get out. Papa Stache is an awesome bar with great food. The people that are there are all super friendly as well. If you want to go out to a small local bar and have a great time then this is the place. Beers, Food, Awesome People = Stache read more

Friendly staff, great service and very good pub food. Hidden gem!

Extremely rude waitress. Would not return. We had an emergency and had to leave waitress snubbed us. Thank you! Won't be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a bland/disappointing burger. Ordered the burger with tots and it came with fries. The boneless wings were decent. My daughter had steak Alfredo and said it was decent as well. Overall, Should have went to McDonald's and spent far less for a better burger. read more

Every time I go to big bend I stop there to eat the place has good food people are really nice the staff is awesome you get your food right away they have great sea food b read more

Ok walk in and if you see an empty bar stool you better grab it. Busy busy place and there is a reason for it. This place is GREAT!!!!! Order what ever drink you want and a must have are there ultimate tator tots, they are a meal in themselves. Make sure you have someone to share them with otherwise you will be losing your belt buckle and you won't even be able to eat your main course. We would like to send a special shout out to the amazing bartender Hannah she made the evening a 5 star experience! Coleslaw good and creamy potato pancakes FROM scratch start to finish! You don't need the apple sauce enjoy them plain Jane and savory the flavor. You need to order them skip the French fry's for another day. Yes the fried cod is good lightly battered good portions of fish not a lot of batter. But if you REALLY want something OUT of This WORLD!!!!! You need to order the Baked cod! Served in a light tomato sauce with butter crusted perfection! OMG DELICIOUS!!!!! As soon as you put that first taste in your mouth your eyes will roll around like the cherries on a slot machine. Over the last 60 years I have been to a lot of Friday night fish fry's but I have to be totally honest with you. THIS HAS TO BE # ONE it definitely has been the best one in a lonnnnggg time!!! Even their tarter sauce has a little different twist to it. I would sware it has a very very light hit of horseradish in it which makes it amazingly delicious. So if you haven't figured it out by NOW this place is definitely worth stopping in and ordering something delicious from the menu. One little problem . They don't make ice cream drinks for des read more

Too much sliver skin on the fish for the fish fry - the food came out hot and the service was good but in WI on a Friday night you want a good fish fry. WIll have to give this one a pass... read more

I don't know what happened to this place honestly. We have gone here many times, but this last Friday Oct. 22nd will probably be our last. The baked fish was horrible and rubbery. The regular fish Fry was dry and also quite rubbery. Rye bread was dry. Tater tots and frys were cold. AND the chocolate eclairs for dessert were obviously frozen store bought. They usually have amazing cheese cake and so I thought these eclairs would be bomb. Yea, noooo. We were so so so disappointed. I don't know if they got a new cook. Or different supplier for food. But truthfully I would just close the kitchen down until they can get things back up and running decently again. We will not be back until something changes drastically. read more

I miss the old Mill Pond but am seriously impressed with what the new owners did to the joint. Love the outdoor seating and the food is Awesome! The pizza here appears to be hand made, loaded with plenty of toppings and baked to perfection. The crust is thin and crisp and will leave you full yet wanting more. They have a barbeque pork pizza that smelled Heavenly but I chose there version of Supreme. Toppings tasted fresh topped off with quality mozzarella cheese. Nice choice of tapped and bottled beers to choose from; they even have a bottled sangria. Great music with friendly staff. Great place after a day on the river, on the bike and even the tractor. Stop in and enjoy a game of pool and a good line up of adult beverages. read more

This was our second visit to Papa Stache. We started with the seasoned onion rings (straw size) with sweet buttermilk dipping sauce. They were delicious and enough for the 3 of us. Two of us had the breaded perch dinner and one had the battered cod. Both dinners were delicious and came, in pint size wire baskets, with a choice of sweet potato fries, seasoned potato chips (homemade) or tater tots. The side portions were big and fresh. We shared the sides which were very good. We arrived at 4:30 PM on a Friday. Service was initially slow until more servers arrived at 5:00 PM. Then service improved. There is indoor and outside seating, much more outside. read more

Food and drinks were great! Prices were very reasonable. Gluten free options that actually had great flavor. Will be back.

Great food - big sexy wings are awesome. Great service, our waitress kept our drinks full which was great! Only complaint is the parking lot - lots of pot holes, mud and mulch. I would go back though. read more

My review is based on a busy Saturday night with Brewers game on...experience may be better at slower times. VERY LOUD. Game watching patrons at the bar are noisy, Jukebox was blasting instead of game. SLOW/BAD SERVICE. Drink order taken immediately, but took awhile to get them. The worst was we had no silverware, and no one followed up after the food came to refill drinks or offer silverware. They were woefully understaffed for a Saturday. 2 bartenders, a waitress and a server. WTH? FOOD IS DECENT. Hearty portions of dressed up bar food. Had the chicken sandwich. 12" long enough to split. Sweet potato waffle fries were okay. read more

I was eager to try this establishment because their food specials look amazing and we drive by it all the time. The food was good but the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Patrons were very loud and rude. The f word was used at least 20 times during the hour I was there by very drunk patrons and nothing was said to them. It was also 5 o'clock on a Sunday and I had my 16 year old with me. It later turned even more vulgar talking about male and female parts. While the food was good I would not take children (to 21) to this establishment for any reason!! read more

I've been to this restaurant and bar twice and both times could not get any service for food nor did I see waiter or even have somebody offer me a drink. This location is either severely understaffed or their staff just doesn't care about the customers read more

Great Bloody Mary's. Great service. Great food. Friendly staff. Nice deck or you can take your drink down to the pond and do some fishing.

We went canoeing on Fox River. Drove by here. Stopped for lunch on way back. Wings- got big sexy- realky good we got philly steak sandwich- was huge- great. Hangover burger was awesome. Quesadillas also great. Prices were good too. Will return if in the area. Great place read more

We just tried Papa Stache for the first time tonight. We had the beer battered cod, a cheeseburger, and a pizza. It took 45 minutes to get our food. And when it came, the French fries were cold and the fish was burnt. Then, when we asked to see the manager, she said that's what the fish always looks like. We will not be returning. read more
