Mark O's Bar & Grill Portage — Restaurant in Portage

VEGETARIANS: GET IN HERE! We read this spot had Impossible burgers bit felt incredulous. After a long time, we were really hungry and decided to take a chance. The wait staff was gracious even though we were coated in mud. They do have the Impossible, and it can be made into any of a number of tasty burgers for an extra charge. I had mine as a classic burger and my husband had jalapenos. With fries, salads, fried pickles, and drinks (large selection of craft brews), out bill was maybe $45.00. This is a pleasant surprise with veggie options and optional straws policy. I thought I had been transported to a fancy hipster scene! Quick update: don't go today. Without any signage, they are not serving food Easter. I am behind on my theology, but I guess food on Easter makes Baby Jesus cry (tell that to all the Christians trying to run us off the road on the way there!). We were hoping to get a repeat of our good experience but had to pay for drinks we would not have ordered had we known of the Easter food ban. Alas, we will give it one more...

Big fan.. always come here when im in town.. but for a certain bartender to ignore us long enough for me to hold up an empty bottle after 20 minutes.. then stop and tell me that if I keep doing that it will mean I won't get service til last.. even when she's busy talking to her friends.. thats poor attitude and service. She has always been a slow server, and always pondered to certain people rather than managing time around the entire bar. It also shows a whole lot that she would be trying to get ahead with things regarding closing time while also taking time out to talk to her friends, and leaving her co-worker to handle everything else.. I miss the old staff. All of them were friendly and took care of all the customers. None of them, all of whom I knew by name and they knew me, would ever have said anything like what this bartender said to me tonight. Ive always seen Mark O's as a better place with higher standards than that.

The waitresses/bartenders were good looking and friendly.... The food is a little pricey for what it is. Over hyped bar food. Paid ten bucks for a burger that was absolutely disgusting. Sounded good on the menu, but when it came it was literally floating in bbq sauce. I had to eat it with a fork because the bun was too wet from the sauce. Couldn't taste the bacon, cheese, or onion rings that came on it because of all the damn sauce. When I finally got to the burger it was dry and overcooked. My girl got the loaded fries and they must have used a microwave to melt the cheese because the whole basket of fries were welded together. Their credit card machine was down so I had to pay cash and it was difficult to keep track of how much I was spending because they wanted me to pay for my drinks and food every single time I wanted a beer. The only reason I believe they are still in business is because of the hotel next door. Will never go...
