Marcines is a small town dive bar with really good bar food. We had a burger and the meat pizza, yum on both counts! There were two waitstaff on a Sat morning for lunch and they were good on service. read more

New owners reopened last week with new name...Mount Vernon Tap! Much of the menu remains the same as when it was Marcine's. Friendly staff. We went with the vegetarian pizza and it was impressive. Two of us could only eat about half of it due to the generous toppings. The other half has made some good snacks at home. Beer selection is pretty tame. Spotted Cow was the most adventurous thing they had on tap. We went with Fantasy Factory IPA in the bottle. Lively crowd of what appeared to be locals. They've got hooks on the ceiling to hang your snowmobile helmets! Note: Cash only. ATM available. read more

Marcine's as usual was great!!! My Sister never had their pizza so, we decided to take her to Marcine's. The pizzas were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We ordered a Deluxe and a sausage with pepperoni. The bartender and server were great as always!!! read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, and it is a bit divey, but I just love this place. The bartenders are super fun and the food is FANTASTIC!!! Pizza is insane. Any time we have friends from out of town, we bring them here and no one has been disappointed. Burgers are delicious and fish fry is good too! Prices are very reasonable! Yes, cash only. ATM on site. read more

I came here with some friends last night. There were some hits and misses, but overall we had a decent experience. The place was hopping when we arrived (6:30 on a Saturday night). Despite this, we found a table right away and were greeted by a server right immediately to place our drink orders. She also let us know that if we wanted pizza, it would be an hour and a half wait. This was super disappointing (we came for pizza,) but I really appreciated her telling us right as we sat down, as we did not have that much time. The server was extremely fun and personable. One thing I didn't like was how loud the music was playing. We had to yell to hear each other, which is fine at a bar later at night, but it was clear that everyone there was eating dinner. Our drinks and food came out surprisingly fast! I wasn't expecting that based on the crowd size. I ordered chicken wings with hot wing sauce. My husband and a friend got a burger, and our other friend got a grilled cheese. I was a little disappointed when I saw the wings, as the were breaded and fried with the sauce on the side as opposed to being saucy, hot wings. Despite this, the wings tasted good, and hit the spot. Everyone else liked their food as well. We ordered mini tacos too and they were really good and a cool break from your typical bar apps. Once we finished our food we waited FOREVER to get the bill. My husband had to go up to the bar to get them to come over and when they finally did, they only had accounted for half of our items, so they had to go back and figure it out. I think we spent more time waiting for our bill than we did waiting for our food and eating! Marcine's is definitely a fun bar, and I imagine their pizza is good based on its popularity. I will likely come back, but not when it's so busy. read more

I have heard about the pizza night here for AGESS, because my husband always went with his teachers. Finally, we went as a date night! You do wait a WHILE. It is one of their busiest nights, so just come in patient. It will be WORTH the wait! We got two smaller pizzas, and it's some of the cheesiest pizza, SO GOOD. You also can't beat the price for the overload of cheese and toppings. A must visit, for sure! read more

The pizza at this place is extraordinary- giant thick slices piled with the highest quality ingredients. It's not a fancy place, but it's comfortable. Tonight's standout was the service. Two women in their 20's, possibly sisters, ran that bar like real bosses. Shining smiles, instant greeting and refills and genuine interest in the experience made a very good meal something memorable. Go to Marcine's. Order the pizza. Tell all your little friends. read more

Noisy, crowded, mostly locals, sometimes no seating, good food, affordable, cash only, "1 holer" ladies room, love it read more

Marcine’s - $5 a plate Breakfast Buffet - Pubs Near Me - Mount Horeb, Wisconsin

Marcine's is now called "Mount Vernon Tap" same quality food and a great atmosphere.

Stopped in over the weekend for a friend's birthday dinner. She had heard through the grapevine about the amazing pizza at Marcine's, and I have to admit that I was skeptical. It is a bar after all. I could not believe how incredible the pizza truly was! I ordered thin crust with pepperoni and black olives, and they don't skimp on the toppings or the cheese. The staff was incredibly friendly despite being very busy the whole night. I will definitely be back for the pizza and camaraderie! read more

This place has attitude, great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Great pizza but be willing to wait as this little engine that could pumps food and drinks out in high quantities. We had a great time eating, drinking and talking with everyone. Definitely will be back! -Cheers read more

Went here again on Saturday before our final bar stop. Lots of locals and some party going on so it was a little loud. Craft beer on tap and regular beer/mixed drinks. I don't imagine many yelpers in this area if you don't live around there but it's the only place in the area. Service was prompt and just a good area place. My friends like to stop here when leaving the Madison scene and settling down close to home to finish off the night. This is cash only people. read more

Marcine's is proof that appearances can be deceiving. While it looks like quite the dive from the outside, you walk into a big bright, colorful and inviting interior bar space brimming with patrons and festivity. And this was at 9AM on a Sunday morning. The other shocker was to see the bartenders lining up gigantic Bloody Marys at 9AM for people who actually ordered them. Bloody Marys with slim jims, olives, mushrooms and asparagus ($5.00). I personally have to wait for at least until after church time before I can start chugging Bloody Marys. While I've heard good things about the pizza, I came in for the weekend breakfast special. $5.00 for a plate from the buffet with cheesy hash browns, scrambled eggs, sausage, baked ham, and french toast. You can get quite a bit on a plate, especially if you're the teenager in front of me in line who stacked up about six slices of French toast, and leaned about ten sausages vertically against the stack! My not very teenage tummy still allowed me a good serving of this very good breakfast fare. The coffee is good and $1.50 gets you a large mug. Service here is very friendly, and in this little village, everyone seems to know everyone else. As other reviewers have pointed out, Marcine's is fun and a great value. I don't believe I've ever been to a $6.50 (+tip) breakfast buffet. You can't afford not to eat here. read more

Marcine's is absolutely refreshing from the usual chain bars/restaurants. One of my favorite spots in the area. Service has always been friendly. Lindsay is a hoot during Meat Raffles. Food prices are more than reasonable. With the pizzas (OMG the pizzas from Marcine's!!!) The pizza slices are layered with huge chunks of toppings. Not deep dish, not New York pizza, it's its own hybrid of some sort. I'd devour these everyday if I could. With the delicious pizzas, the $1 Monday Tacos, $0.25 Wednesday Wings, etc., how does this place make money?! I usually leave large tips because I'm stingy on spending money on alcohol. I assume that's where a majority of the profits are made. Even the old guys at the bar wonder and assume the same. If you're visiting the area, strolling through downtown Mount Horeb, hiking at Donald Park or just passing through, Marcine's is worth the visit. read more

An awesome Wisconsin bar! We usually stop here on our motorcycle cruises but this morning we stopped in for the $5 breakfast buffet! They charge per plate but it was delicious! Bloody's are strong and massive with great fixings! We love this place and will be back soon! read more

Marcine’s - $5 breakfast plate - Pubs Near Me - Mount Horeb, Wisconsin

Small local bar with great pizza. Beer menu is very limited and other food is ok but the unique pizza and atmosphere is worth the trip.

Went for brunch last Sunday, opted for the pizza instead. Large pies were loaded with toppings and cheese. Sauce is mild but tasty, crust held up to all the toppings too. Pizzas and drinks were reasonably priced. We also tried a few apps... fried pickles, onion rings and cheese curds. If you're up for a drive check this place out. It wasn't busy when we went but I have a feeling it can get busy during more peak meal/drinking times. read more

If you are a fan of good pizza or even mediocre pizza then don't go here for pizza. If you like cooked dough with 15 pounds of meat and cheese and sauce on top of it then this might be the place for you. But it ain't pizza. The atmosphere is very cool and we will definitely be back to try the burgers and the fish fry. Wait staff was really nice, too. The world needs more local dive places like this. We did not find anything about the pizza appetizing in the least bit. Zero stars for the pizza, five stars for everything else. read more

Small town crossroads bars can be a hit and miss proposition if you aren't a "local." Marcine's has been a hit ever since she took over the place several years ago. Unlike previous owners this one has built a business which is welcoming to the whole community and is pretty family friendly. The lunch specials and nightly food specials are worth planning your schedule around. The unique and limited Sunday brunch buffet is a great way to get fed fast and cheap when you're on the go. And the drink prices are excellent, especially when you compare them to what you'll pay in Madison. The printed menu is limited, but they do everything on it well and augment it nicely with the specials, including a Friday fish fry. My wife and I aren't "regulars" but we don't hesitate to hit Marcine's whenever we're in the mood to go out for a drink or grab a decent sandwich for dinner. The five star rating is not because there aren't shortcomings. The building is old and the bathrooms are tiny. So is the kitchen, which is probably why the menu is perhaps smaller than average. When they're busy, you'll wait a bit for your plate to emerge from the kitchen. They get my five stars because they make the most out of what they have to work with, and the regular bartenders are all very friendly and attentive. This positive review is partly because we love having a decent bar & grill literally within walking distance in a rather remote rural village. It is mostly because Marcine and her crew have succeeded in making us feel like friends every time we walk in the door. To us, it doesn't get a whole lot better than that! read more

If you order a pizza, expect to bring some home! Their pizzas are extremely tasty and extremely hearty. Their staff is the best in the area even when they are packed to to the walls. The best part about this bar is the unique crowd that they draw. People from all over stop in here to listen to live music and enjoy cheap buckets of beer. If you drive through Mount Vernon, make sure you stop! read more

Great food, they only take cash, beware if you play the gambling machines they dont pay out till the next day. They have a tiny sign hidden under crap on top of the machine. A fact they dont make you aware of till the next day no exceptions!!!!!!! Not the best option for a wayward traveler whom lives in Milwaukee. Also this place is full of flys read more

We went for wings about a year ago and they were great, make sure you order as much as you think you will eat the first time. They have a record of some 85+ wings being consumed by one person. We went again on Thursday for the pizza special. 12" pizza thick or think + 50 cent toppings. THIS PIZZA IS AWESOME! You will take some home unless you are a family of four. So glad to see this place being turned into a very busy business! read more

I haven't been able to figure out all the hub-bub about Marcine's. I have stopped there on my way through half-a-dozen times over the last couple of years and there is nothing special about the place. Sure, its got that dive bar vibe, just like 50 other bars in area. Service is always on the slow side and they always seem to be under staffed. Pizza is good, but the wait is always longer the 30 minutes to get it. Saturday the wait was an hour and a half when the place was only two-thirds full. I am thinking they only have the one pizza oven. Hope they save up enough for a second one soon. read more

A great country bar! Friendly service, good banter with the locals, and more importantly some of the best pizza I've had for the price. The sausage is amazing!!! We had the supreme...fresh toppings that are piled high on a thin crust. Definitely going back! read more

Darn good food darn cheap their lunch specials are a ridiculous value. Cash only they don't take plastic. But they do have an atm there read more

Stopped by on Labor Day for a Bloody Mary and some food. Felt like we at and drank all afternoon including the delicious pizza our bill was $36. Can't beat it. We will be back. Remember your cash though. No credit cards. read more

We have heard such great things but we have had terrible luck here. Last night was no different. Waited an hour (no exaggeration) for our 2 piece fried cod dinners. We had an obligation so I asked after 45 min how much longer and was told "this is normal, it's how long it's been taking tonight, 45-1 hr for fish"....if so, she should have told us when we ordered? Once we got the fish, it was over cooked and I could only get 1 piece down. Service was good otherwise (drinks kept being refilled). read more

Looks can be deceiving. It looks small but wait until you get inside, it's very spacious. Atmosphere is awesome!!! Staff was very pleasant. We had the meat pizza. WOW!!! So good!!! A ton of meat under a dome of cheese. read more

Pizza, Piiizzzzaaaaa!!! Nice beers, really good pizza, both thin & thick crusts. Very popular bar in Mount Vernon, not Mt Horeb. Sports on TVs, beer & really good pizza. Did I already say that?! read more

MENU SPECIALS BY DAY (I don't think anyone has published this in one place): Mon: Tacos Tues: Shrimp Wed: Wings Thurs: Pizza Fri: Fish Sat: None I know of Sun: Breakfast--all you can pile on one plate, one trip buffet. Pitcher of Bud Light currently is a deal at $5.00. Please post if I got anything wrong. We like everything except the shrimp--pretty salty. I suspect they just sprinkle seasoning salt on the shrimp to achieve the flavor you want. read more

Our favorite local spot for fantastic burgers and great service! Food is always fresh to order. Off the beaten path but would highly recommend if your swinging through Mount Vernon. read more

Great pizza! So loaded with cheese and sausage it's amazing. Typical Wisconsin dive bar. Always busy.

First time eating here and the "Deluxe" pizza we ordered was tasty but the outer portion of the pizza was much hotter then the middle of the pizza. read more

Good pizza but inside was overwhelmed by smoke and flies. Smoke was from pizza ovens and flies from propping back door by dumpster open to let out the smoke from the kitchen! read more

We have been to Marcine's twice now for pizza. It is very good, and unlike any place else!! Both times we stopped at random, and there were bands. Great food and entertainment too. What else could you ask for?? We will for sure go back! read more

Met at Marcine's for breakfast before a hike at the nearby Donald's Park. I couldn't find any information online about the breakfast, but I can tell you that for sure on Sunday's, they offer a $5 a plate buffet. For $5, you can fill your plastic plate once from the buffet of french toast, eggs, potatoes, and sorted breakfast meat. Easily the best cheesy/onion potatoes ever, but this is a bar, not a breakfast place. Cash only, but they have an ATM. read more

Went on a weeknight for pizza. Fantastic! Great country bar ambience and food. The already low prices were augmented by the fact they graciously accepted an expired coupon from one member of our party. I'll be back!! read more

Was recommended by someone at work. Drove out of my way to get the pizza. YES was worth it. CASH only.

Such a friendly place with really good food! I especially love their burgers and pizza.

The pizza is amazing!! Overflowing with topping and the amount of cheese is just the way it should be. Couldn't finish it all. The drinks are good too. The bartenders were very friendly. read more
