The Green Owl

We have been coming here for 5 years in a row now. Always great food! The service can be iffy at times but great little spot.

After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures of the establishment online we thought we would give the Green Owl a try. First thing that confused me when I walked in was the interior, it didn't look like the photos online. After looking closer I realized that pictures that come up first on Google were from 2014. This bar has aged and could use a refresher, boxes are piled in the old waitress station, extension cords hang from the ceiling, the mirrors on the walls were filthy and the paint was just dirty.

That said, the gentleman who was working the bar and serving tables was excellent. I was impressed he handled multiple tables, was very friendly and still had time to manage the bar. This bandana wearing man was the high point of our visit.

As for the food, it was okay could have been better, the cheese curds were standard fair so when my dining partner said Culver's were better I couldn't disagree.

We also ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a pizza. When our food arrived we could tell what happen from our experience in the food service industry. Someone made the sandwich before the pizza was done and it sat. The bun was soaked through making it a mess, the pork and fries were lukewarm at best. If this same sandwich was served fresh and hot it's a 4 out of 5 stars, today it was a 3. Same goes for the fries when served just warm they were still good hot they would have been great.

On to the pizza, The good: the sausage was good, the crust was crispy through out and the sauce was excellent. The bad: the cheese was the only miss for me, it just seemed off, kind of tough and chewy but still acceptable for bar food.
I think the term lukewarm best describes our visit to the Green Owl.

Stopped in for a late dinner with the family. So glad other places were not serving anymore. The food was excellent, and so was the service. Amazing considering our waitress was also bar tending, and the cook for the evening, since the chef was out. Very impressive! Will definitely go again.

Food and beer is very reasonably priced, especially for the dells. The fries are made in house and my favorite. Think 5 guys fries...but better! Huge drink selection, quiet atmosphere. A great place to start your night, and finish it out.

Just off hwy 12, this little gem is easily accessible to anyone in the area, even those not familiar with the dells area. For those who don't want to venture out, they deliver also. The food was exceptionally good. Pizza was homemade and delicious, they have usual assortment of toppings. They also have sandwiches and appetizers, all of which were delicious. I'm not going to lie it's basically an overglorified bar, so they a pool table and darts boards. But there is a separate dining area if you don't want to sit at the . They have a large assortment of TVs for sports, and a nice bar with spotted cow on tap. Service was great, the place was clean. I would definitely recommend trying them out.
