    This is one of the few nice bars in Portage for visitors staying at a hotel (walking distance) off the highway. They have a great outdoor covered bar which was fun during a thunderstorm. The bartender was great to chat with all night and had a lot of stories to tell. The food was just OK.

    Food was excellent. Waitress was new but did a good job. Still learning drinks etc. would dine here again.

    Bangers and Mash

    The most amazing Bangers and Mash I have ever had! We went around 2:30 in the afternoon so it is a slow time but was also staffed for a slow time. There was one cook and the waitress and a large party had came in prior to our arrival. The waitress was straight forward about the possible wait time for the dish but we opted to order anyway and get an appetizer. This dish is worth every minute of the wait! Absolutely phenomenal! The waitress was amazing as well. Can't wait to go back! It's going to be hard to order anything else after getting the B&M but there were some other options I had my eye on.

    Ordered a wet chicken burrito- got 2 beef tacos

    I came here as I was staying at a nearby hotel and didn't want to walk/drive far. Ive Been driving cross-country and wanted something close. We ordered TO-GO cuz we didnt want to wait and had dogs at our hotel. Here it goes: I go in and there are 2 others at the bar. Very slow day I guess. :/ Anyways, i wanted to order a bacon burger but they were out of bacon! who the h!!! runs out of bacon! I ended up ordering a "huge" wet chicken burrito.... The bartender said I wouldn't finish it... I got back to the hotel and they gave me 2 beef tacos... Was this a joke? See picture I ordered my wife a cheeseburger (clearly frozen patty, suppose to have swiss and american cheese, only kraft single) with fries (yes, the frozen crinkle cut ones) She also wanted a side salad with ranch... Got back to the hotel to discover their side salad consists of iceberg lettuce. No croutons or garnish as the menu stated. Nice bartender, said she was new. She should run away from this place. No wonder it was empty there. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

    I have had some pretty tasty lunches here. Cheap prices for the quality make this a "wiener!"

    I have only been once, ordered the bangers and mash. It was ok but not worth a second visit.

    This is esthetically attractive, but the food and service is horrible. Nasty attitude from ownership.

The first time a friend and I stopped in, the bartender blatantly overcharged is on everything and then refused to refund our debit card 6, rather refunding cash. There's nothing like trying to run fraud she's on new customers. Tonight, my son and I stopped in. There were only 3 customers at the bar when we sat down, but the bartender was far more interested in talking to 1 of them than addressing us. FYI, it was a less than professional conversation, leaning in much more intimately. When she was done with her chat, she proceeded to the kitchen to hang out for a couple minutes, only popping out to glare at us again while on the phone. Finally, after a couple more minutes with no sign of our bartender, we left. This place offers mediocre food (on a good day) and a pathetic beer selection. While I am all to happy to patronize a local establishment, even with subpar offerings, I'm not going to pay for such pathetic service. Take your money elsewhere. There are many far better establishments who value their customers, all within 5-10 minutes drive. Keep driving when you see the sign for The Sportsman.

I am not sure if it takes place here or the building right next-door, but they are part of the same venue. Maybe just sniffer names? But the venue is nice, it's dark, which I do like because when you're on stage, the audience isn't something that you can really see so it makes you feel a little more comfortable. The DJs are super nice and friendly and very supportive. There's great singers, mediocre singers, first timers that are really nervous and you can tell but everybody cheers them on! Karaoke is not about being the best singer in the house. No one's gonna get discovered by a record label here. We are all just here to have fun and sing songs we like. The bartender that usually works is super awesome and really nice. The drinks are really good and decently priced and they have a bunch of different snack foods that you can get. In the rockstar karaoke room you can always go next-door and order food and have it brought over . While the rockstar karaoke area just has appetizers. That's been my main experience. I haven't gone there on other nights, but they have a nice stage and sound system with cool lighting and bands. Come and play there. I haven't seen any bands there yet, but I'm definitely interested.

The place is connected to the bar next door so when the show is over you can move over there and keep the fun going. The drinks there are not real expensive. They have tables and booths. It is a cool place to go see the many different types of shows they have there.

    C'mon! Where else can you see live fish and shoot laser guns by day and nosh on wings and crab legs…read moreby night, all pretty much on the same property?! With Bass Pro Shops and Hooters it's a veritable one-two punch of family entertainment and refreshment! :-P It's been years since I'd been to a Hooters, so I wasn't expecting the "newer" style wings. I recall that in days of yore the wings came out with the drummies and flappers still attached to one another. Now, they're separated. This saddens me because that's what *all the other* wing joints do. Used to feel good that Hooters had this culinary way to separate itself. Alas, no longer. That said, I do like the light breading on the new wings. And they weren't overcooked to a leatheren crisp like the wings I've gotten lately from the place with the talking spokes-bison. I meant to eat ten and ate twenty! And the parm garlic and lemon pepper rubs are both winners. The crab legs didn't impress, though. The legs were tiny and the shell had no snap--more typical of the cheapo crab you get at AYCE buffets. (Here's another chance to stand out, Hooters!) Clam chowder is good and has a lemony tang.

    This place is similar like Schererville location terrible service and hooter girls seems ignorant…read moreand do not care about DoorDash or Uber Eats orders which it takes FOREVER to wait. They care more about tips from dine in customers. This is probably the only worst restaurant in Portage. I do agree with one of the customers say that this location is gone to shit.
