Ope Haus Pub — Restaurant in Barneveld

Above and beyond! On top of the comfortable atmosphere and enticing daily specials, the real stars of Ope Haus are the employees! Tonight we dined at Ope, and I remembered to ask for the cheese on the side with the loaded fries appetizer, due to my breastfed daughters dairy allergy. The server, Malachi, took note and put the spicy sauce on the side as well, realizing it had ranch in it. When I ordered my burger he came back to ask if I wanted it without the cheese as well! Once the food came, I inquired if the sweet potatoes were cooked with butter or oil (answer: oil) and was about to dig in to the burger when another employee rushed over to tell me that the bun might have butter on it! She double checked and sure enough, it did. She told us to take the burger home (for my husband) and immediately put in a replacement order. Despite my protests, she also insisted that we not pay for the original burger! I was honestly just floored by the attention to such a small detail that these folks made, which could have really resulted in a rough time for my daughter if I had consumed the dairy. They went above and beyond to accommodate this dairy allergy, when truly the fault was mine for not thinking to ask about the bun. We made sure to tack the cost of the original burger onto the tip, because no small business should have to take the hit for something that wasn’t their fault. Thank you, Ope Haus, for your thoughtfulness, and as always, for the...

What an amazing "Diamond in the rough"! This has been on my list of places to visit since moving to Mount Horeb but hadn't made the drive until tonight... and Wow!

The cheese curds were amazing... the homemade batter was so light and fluffy... I could have eaten these alone all night long. They absolutely did not carry the usual heavy fried feeling a lot of area cheese curds do- it's Wisconsin, you've gotta try them!

This is not to mention the incredible and perfectly cooked burgers; how often when you tell a restaurant you want a medium burger does it not come out well done? This was not a problem at Ope Haus! Had 3 burgers between us, and every one of them was cooked spot on; I can't tell you the last time I've had that happen.

Everything was so perfect; the wait staff was friendly and inviting and offered great recommendations... the food was perfect... there was plenty of elbow room between tables and each other... and the atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for.

I had a Brandy Old Fashioned, the true Wisconsin way and followed it with their Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned and they were absolutely on point.

Didn't see the cornbread on the menu, but were able to add it to our meals since it comes with the salads... hard to find good cornbread up here, but Ope house really has it all.

I wish I could have eaten more... there are so many more things I want to try. We will be back. What are you...

We had high hopes for this place. It popped up in my news feed with 'best fish fry' something or other. For our first, and unfortunately likely our last, visit we stopped by for a late afternoon burger, just before the bar shift change. Our initial server was lovely -- pleasant, friendly, etc. She made a wonderful cocktail for me. We ordered our burgers and I settled up with our current server before she left and her replacement arrived.

When our ordered arrived, delivered by new to us server 'Brittany'. I asked for mustard, and we waited as she rustled around the bar preparing for her shift. (I like mustard on my burger, so I waited a bit to dive in). After waiting, I asked "could we get some mustard please?" The reply, yelled from behind the bar "I heard you. I'm all alone here". WOW --- we were both dumbfounded, in awe and speechless. The rude demeanor of this person was like I had never seen before in server. When Brittany arrived with the mustard (a couple squirts in a paper condiment cup) she threw it on the bar toward me. No, I am not exaggerating. Double WOW. What you have read is an honest, fair and actual account of our experience at Ope. As for the burger -- meh. Sad, as we were hoping to try...
