    We stayed at an Airbnb in town that included a breakfast at The Chatterbox. The Chatterbox's friendly owner made us feel like we were part of the town. Wonderful pastries and excellent coffee. Don't settle for industrial coffee in a paper cup when you can get the real stuff in ceramic and sit in a civilized cafe eating a fresh, homemade muffin.

    This place is a must if you're visiting the railroad history attractions in the area. Great coffee drinks, pastries, sandwiches, soups and the friendliest people.

    I moved away from portage over a decade ago and still think about the Chatterbox. Genuinely a one of a kind place with some amazing people

    Great coffee served by an extremely pleasant staff. I like the great collection of "Grandma's attic" stuff for sale at nice prices.

    I love this place! Great atmosphere and service with coffee and ice cream bar. Very light fare. I got the frozen mocha and it was amazing!

    The only negative review is so far off the mark for this place. We go very often and it never…read moredisappoints. If you got asked to leave, YOU were an issue plain and simple. Great ownership and staff. Stop in and see, they never disappoint!!!

    Smileys Bar!!!! Must Read!…read more Neither I or any member of my family will ever eat there again!!!! I come home from Baltimore once a month and my family and I always go to Smileys for wings. My check alone with tip every single time is about $100. Anyone that ever knew me or my family being we have all worked in restaurants and owned a restaurant we are always very polite and tip well. Tonight 4 of us went for wings and drinks. We ordered the Buffalo log appetizer which we have had before and it's always been good. Tonight they were so over cooked you couldn't eat them. The chicken inside was dry. No sauce. Not edible. The 4 of us each tried the same log and all agreed horrible. We left the other 4 logs on the plate. I told the waitress the issue and she said ok. At the end of the dinner we asked for our checks. When she brought mine it still had the logs on for $8. I asked her to please remove them from the check. The manager came out and asked what was wrong and we told her and she was being very nice. As she went to turn around the owner followed her out behind her and very loudly started yelling with are these the people that complain all the time and constantly have something wrong!?!? (To be clear for years we have never sent anything back here nor asked to have anything removed from a check). The manager was trying to tell him no, but he came around her and in the middle of the dining room started screaming and yelling at us telling us that we are a problem and there is always a problem with us. And he's telling us we need to find a new place to eat we are no longer welcome in his bar. So we began yelling back that that's fine don't worry we won't be back. And he kept yelling at us in the middle of the dining room yelling for us to keep it up cause he knows people and he will have us thrown out pointing at the table behind us. At this point I was irritated and firing back at him until he finally left. Then his son comes out and tells us the problem is we ordered the food and whether it's good or bad or we ate it or not we needed to pay for it. I said really that's some great customer service. He said it is that's why we are so busy and we don't need you here. So then I explained to him several times I've brought groups of my family here and we're always told we can't put tables together yet friends of his behind us have a table of 15 put together. And again the kid says yep that's the rules and those are friends of ours. We needed to pay the check and leave. So I can 100% say not one of us will ever buy another thing from that place and I will gladly tell anyone about this experience.
