Dousman House — Restaurant in Dousman

Stopped in for lunch with a friend today. First time I've been in DH since the new owner arrived. Food is great. This is the lobster claw BLT @ $17 and a tequila/cranberry. Came with choice of house baked potato salad or home made ranch potato chips with house French onion dip. Both sides are amazing, definitely recommend giving the home chips a try. I really wanted to try the cocktail menu, but time would not allow. They have some really great looking ideas on the list, including a variety of flavors from "Dousman sizzler" (jack Daniel's, triple sec, sprite, etc) to a salted caramel espresso martini. Atmosphere was nice. Clean tables, open areas to sit. Bar area was watching rodeo and outdoors/hunting channels. Gave a slightly upscale country vibe while still feeling homey in our little village of blue collars. Much more calm, well lit, and overall inviting than it used to be.

Heard from our bartender that they'll be starting a Saturday prime rib special this week. Will definitely be back in the near future to...

Small-town bar with high-quality eats. I got the Reuben. The bread was crispy with just enough bounce inside. Big, ole chunks of meat greeted me as I opened up my order. It was juicy and well-seasoned. I'll definitely come back and get this again and again. Out of 10, the burger I tried, the mushroom truffle, was delicious. The buns are top-notch, and it's a big, beefy burger. For the price, yeah, I know what you're thinking: the prices seem a little high. I'm telling you, it's worth it. They have homemade ranch, potato chips with a house-made fresh onion dip, and a twice-baked potato salad. Everything was so good. I'll definitely be spending my money here a lot. The service was friendly, as always. It's Wisconsin hell, a local might just thank you for stopping in. Definitely give it a checkout. I love the food, and oh, they have daily soups that switch out. Their French onion is permanent, though, and is definitely the one to try if you love French onion. Come stop in for...

Horrible service, food was average. Our waitress was annoyed from the moment we walked in. Seemed like they only wanted to serve drinks at the bar for the locals. Narrow area by front door and people standing there wouldn't move, got the vibe that non locals weren't welcome. They didn't have ginger ale and served a drink with ginger beer. What bar doesn't have ginger ale? Food was average at best. Expected more since Bryant on the round is very good. When it came time to pay the check we asked to just run 2 cards for half the total and the waitress said she asked us if we wanted separate checks and we said no. First. She never asked and we weren't looking to have separate checks, we just want to run 2 cards for the bill and she said they couldn't do that. Definitely won't...
