Back volleyball and boats docked on Lake Wisconsin
Donna G.

What a great find! If you're driving highway 90 between Madison, WI and Portage, this great lakeside restaurant/bar is a fun and delicious place to visit! We shared a fried bluegill with fries and a fried lake perch with sweet potato fries--both were fantastic! Sitting at a table on the lawn closer to the lake, under a cottonwood tree--a sunny and warm June 1 day--heavenly!

Disappointed and Disrespected -- Would Not Recommend We had planned to end our all-staff day on Lake Wisconsin with a visit to Remy's Thirsty Moose on Friday. However, from the water, the place looked closed and almost abandoned -- not exactly the welcoming spot we were expecting. Earlier in the day, one of my staff members had parked near the restaurant, off the road on the pavement by the house. When we returned from our boat outing, her car was gone. It had been towed -- by the owner of Remy's. We were told there was a sign posted, but upon investigation, we found it was nearly impossible to see due to overgrown brush. The parking lot was empty. The restaurant was empty. At no point was her car causing an inconvenience to anyone. It's disheartening to think that, rather than welcoming potential patrons, Remy's chose to tow a vehicle -- one that may have been associated with future business. This was the last thing my staff member needed. She was driving her daughter's car because her own vehicle had broken down the weekend before. She'd already spent $750 on repairs and now had to pay nearly $300 to retrieve the towed car -- a devastating and unnecessary expense. I've visited Remy's in the past and had heard about their struggles with staffing and slow business. After this experience, it's clear why. There's no compassion or consideration here -- just a quick trigger for towing, with zero effort to understand the situation. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend Remy's Thirsty Moose to anyone who values kindness, community, or decency. There are far better spots on the lake that won't leave you feeling taken advantage of.

A amazing place right on lake Wisconsin! Stopped in here after searching for the best food in the area. Apps were amazing and the staff were friendly.

My fiance Brian Lawler enjoy their fish fry.  #kymthompson #brianlawler #kymlawler #portagewisconsin

Excellent pecan-smoked pulled pork sandwich! The meat was so flavorful - literally melted in my mouth. Bbq sauce was perfect.

I enjoyed the brisket sandwich and fries! It was quick trip off the highway if you're traveling that way. Beautiful view of the lake!

When we were there others were having burgers, lasagna, pizza (thin crispy crust- in IL we call it crack crust) Cod sandwich, walleye bits, but the thing not to miss are the Cheese curds. These curds are a tempura batter- very lite and delicious! Not to be missed. We had cheese curds, walleye bites, and coleslaw. Then for the sports memorabilia , not to be missed, covers the walls, bar and the tables. They have 1 of 1 items that could keep you there for hours. We will be back, short drive from the Wisconsin Dells main strip. Worth the drive . Very nice people too!

I was a little shocked at the price of sixty dollars for 4 items, but was hoping the food was worth it. We did order it as a carryout.By the time we got back to eat it, the fries were old and cold.The cheese curds were soggy , the chicken tenders , my wife said , were the worst she's ever had. The chicken was tough.The breading was undescribable and it looked like they had fried it twice , they were so tough. She said she has had had better chicken tenders from rueben was good, but i've had better ones from arby's. Comparing the prices on the receipt and the prices on the carryout menu, which i got from the lady there, they also overcharged me for the Reuben, and the cheese curds by $3.00. All in all , we were very disappointed and we will not be going back. We would definitely not recommend them to anyone.

The reviews are accurate. Our first time started on a high…read morenote and went downhill from there. They kept forgetting to bring my drink after ordering and service took a long time overall. But The food was OK. The highlight of my meal were the chips. For beverages, there are no refills and the price for the iced tea was more expensive than the beer (they don't carry Summer Shandy BTW). Something we haven't really seen before. Even if it is advertised on the menu, they could mention it as a reminder when offering a second beverage . It was ultimately shocking that, ultimately, our server didn't really think of coming back with the change after paying with a bigger bill (and we still gave a good tip).

*EDIT: The owner reached out to me directly and said he reviewed the cameras. He said there was a…read moremix up of pull tabs with the bartenders and apologized for the confusion. I appreciate him making the situation right!!** My family has had a cabin on Lake WI for the last 23 years. We have been going to Lakeside since we have had our cabin. Lakeside has immensely gone downhill. DO NOT GAMBLE HERE!! Last night my sister pulled a $25 pull tab and they tried to say that it was already pulled for the day. How would a pull tab that she had just ripped open have already been pulled for the day???! I don't believe it for a second. I have pictures of my pull tab that was "signed" after the bartender had already taken it behind the bar. The bartender then refused to let me take a picture of their pull tab sheet because the handwriting on there sheet and the handwriting on the pull tab were the exact same handwriting and pen color... seems very fishy to me. The bartenders were being incredibly rude about the situation and playing a blame game on us over $25??!
