Big Dog has quickly grown to be my favorite bar in Portage. I've lived in Portage for 7 years and…read moreI started coming here a couple of years ago. It's a laid-back crowd who are likely a crowd of regulars so when you walk in you may get that "look" but you'll discover everyone is very friendly. The owners seem like wonderful people and make you feel welcome and at ease. Heather is a great bartender who remembers your drink even if it's been awhile and remembers bits and pieces about you as well. The ravioli bites are my favorite appetizer, but if you are looking for a meal, the Philly steak sandwich is very tasty but I am a huge fan of their burgers. Great portion and great taste for a good price - can't go wrong with that!

The dressing was tasty and the salt itself seemed fresh, it packed quite a crunch! I was pleasantly surprised. As far as the atmosphere -- it's super chill and it's a good place to hang out. You can play an hour of pool for only $5!

Chopped salad without the ham or bacon. It was good!

Upon crossing the sacred threshold of Tamarack Pizza, I did not merely order lunch -- I embarked on…read morea culinary pilgrimage. The Tamarack sandwich arrived like a hero returning from battle, radiant and unapologetically magnificent. The bread? A golden vessel of destiny. The fillings? A symphony of textures and flavors conducting themselves in flawless harmony. Each bite unfolded like a well-paced novel -- rising action, climax, and a triumphant finish. Time briefly lost meaning. Conversations hushed. Somewhere, an eagle may have soared. Was it "just a sandwich"? Technically. But also, perhaps, a reminder that greatness can exist between two slices of bread. Five stars. Would ascend again. Now the real review. Stopped into Tamarack Pizza in Portage and ordered The Tamarack sandwich. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to oversell itself -- it just delivers. The sandwich was solid across the board: well-balanced, fresh, and made the way you hope it will be when you order a house specialty. Good bread, generous filling, and everything worked together without being fussy. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy. No theatrics -- just good food done right. I will come back next time I'm in the area.

The great biscuits and gravy, thanks so much for the generous amount of gravy, probably more than any I have had before.

The hostess and server were very accommodating and friendly. My 7 year old granddaughter's caught the Alaskan Waffles. She ate 1/4 waffle and 3/4th of the strawberries, whip cream and scoop of vanilla ice cream. I had the chicken bowl and it was ok. Nothing special. I could taste the processed chicken so k ow it was t a u processed chicken breast sliced up. My husband said his biscuits and gravy were bland with little meat in it. To be fair, the menu says biscuits and gravy, not biscuits and sausage gravely so I think that makes a difference. I told him to just be sure when it just says gravy to ask if it has sausage in it. We had 6 others in our group who enjoyed their meals but also stated it was just ok.
