You won't run into Peter here, but you'll meet other delightful people -- locals and vacationers. Most of the time, it's closed, but on the rare occasion that you find this building open (usually a weekend evening during warmer weather), it's a bit of a delight. Owned and operated by the people who run Twin Shores next door, this little building has a tiny, crowded bar with one table, and several outdoor tables. The drinks here are the same as the drinks at Twin Shores. It's a perfect spot for an after dinner drink when you want to sit outside and breathe in the fresh lake air on a warm summer night.

I live in Madison and she lives in Green Bay so we like to meet some where in the middle and find neat museums or events to visit. Well Mom wanted to visit the Horicon Marsh "Explorium" which we did. I would recommend. After we were looking for someplace local for lunch and found this pub in the town of Horicon. I was a little disappointed that the menu wasn't more Irish for an "Irish" pub but it was a good selection of Wisconsin American pub food. Burgers, wraps, pizza, fried apps, etc. looked like a large selection of beers and White Claw type alcohol drinks but as we had long drives we did not partake. I had the cheese burger with tots to share and Mom had the black bean burger. We were happy to see a couple of vegetarian options on the menu as Mom sometimes struggles with this. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Mom didn't want to sit at the bar because she is short and all the stools were tall. We instead were recommended a table in a sort of half partitioned side room. The stools were still tall but they had foot rings so Moms feet didn't dangle. It was also quiet enough we could talk easily vs. the bar area. Food arrived promptly and was well prepared. My burger was cooked perfectly and Mom's bean burger was served with sautéed mushrooms on a toasted bun. Both special requests. My tots were a big hit with Mom and I for being super crunchy but not over cooked. Value, our entire meal with several soda refills was $21. I think that is extremely reasonable. Note if that staff ever read this. I always try to pay when out with my Mom (especially when celebrating her b-day). But she's a stubborn lady. I've been paying admissions and souvenirs the last few trips to museums which I did again at the Explorium. So Mom insisted. I hope she tipped you well! Only complaint please add one Irish dish. I'd recommend "shepherd's" pie (really farmer's pie as lamb availability/price might not work). And more potatoes!

My server/bartender was attentive and very welcoming. A solid selection of taps, cans/bottles and your standard offering of booze. They do have a menu of different old fashioneds for those inclined. Their menu is your standard pub options-appetizers, pizza, wings, burgers, sandwiches, and fish on Fridays. I opted for one of their daily specials-steak sandwich. I opted for the upgrade for the side of fries that came with and selected the pickle chips. I am glad I did as they are some of the best I have tasted in quite sometime. Thinly sliced, they were perfectly fried with a thin batter that didn't hide the flavor of the pickle. The sandwich also hit the mark-tender steak nestled between a ciabatta bun. It was great. Highly recommend checking out Sauer's-a solid pub with some great food.

My spouse ordered the grilled cheese, which said on the menu it came with a choice of two cheeses. When he said which two cheeses he wanted, the waitress said that would be an extra charge. When he pointed to the menu, she said "she'd have to check". She never came back to tell us if he got two cheeses or not. We weren't given any utensils, so I had to get up and get my own from the hostess station. My burger had a very strong taste of livestock and barnyard. I also ordered an ice water which was almost undrinkable. At least invest in a faucet filter, guys. The homemade chips with garlic cream cheese were very good, though. At the end of the meal, the waitress brought our check, but then came and took it away from us because she forgot to add the beer my spouse ordered because their water had such a bad taste. Since she had already dropped the ball so many times, this could have been an opportunity to extend a gesture of good will and give it to him on the house, but alas. In addition, they have kind of a snotty little sign in the entrance demanding you wipe your feet as if you're a child, and they proudly display that they do not offer any service for their ample patio seating. Just not a great experience.

I was able to get out of work early on a Friday and make my way up there to beat the dinner rush. In addition to the Fisherman's Platter, which I got with potato pancakes, I ordered cheese nuggets. The cheese nuggets were not what I was hoping for. I wanted a nice crunchy breading, but instead they had the cornmeal-like breading that I can't stand on cheese curds because it doesn't get crunchy and retains too much grease. I ate some because I didn't want to waste all the money I spent on them, but I didn't finish them. If you want a large fish fry for a reasonable price given the amount of food ($20.95 as of 2/24/2023), the Fisherman's Platter is no joke. The meal consisted of six shrimp, four pieces of cod, four pieces of bluegill, two pieces of "perch", and three potato pancakes when you choose that for your side. The potato pancakes were not homemade, but that's not necessarily a problem. I appreciated getting three of them while most places would probably only give you two. The shrimp was very lightly breaded, almost to the point of not being breaded at all. It was a good contrast to the breading on all of the other items if you don't want everything heavily deep fried. The four pieces of cod were small and were probably the equivalent of two regular size pieces at most other restaurants. The bluegill where the greasiest of all the items and had more of a farm-raised taste than a fresh-out-of-the-lake taste. I put perch in quotations above because I believe this was pike, not truly perch, based on the size, shape, and flavor of the two large pieces. Not bad, but not the quality of yellow perch and not surprising since pike doesn't cost nearly as much as yellow perch. I thought the cod was the best of all the seafood on the plate. I'm not going to go back just for that, but if I happen to ever be out that way again on a Friday, I'd stop for the cod with potato pancakes and maybe pair them with the shrimp to get the contrast in texture. As a note, The Marsh Inn is cash only. They have an ATM with a $2.75 surcharge (as of 2/24/2023) for withdrawing.

I plan on coming back and I would suggest you all go give it a try if you are in the Lake Mills area. It's not too far off the freeway and if you go early enough in the afternoon it shouldn't be too busy. You can also make a day of it and visit the other local shops in the area.
