Goose Blind Grill & Bar

We had a waiter that was very new to the scene. He didn’t ask how we would like our meats cooked and forgot to ask if we wanted dessert. However, he was very polite and he did definitely try hard to remember everything he’s supposed to do. He also was very attentive to our drinks and making sure everything was good at our table so I don’t fault him for the couple of things mentioned above. The food was very good. We even ordered their cheesecake of the day, which was extremely good. It is a do again place as the prices were reasonable and the food and service were good.

I was in Ripon WI and wanted wood fire pizza but the main pizza place in town was packed so I Unilocaled the towns nearby and found this place. Even as I pulled into the parking lot — by glancing at the windows you can tell it had a warm cozy glow inside. I got there about 8pm and the dining room had 4 tables of people all who seemed to be really enjoying family dinners. The connected bar area had what looked to be number of groups of regulars having fun. (The bar would have been a nice place to shoot pool or throw darts with friends — very intimate and friendly)
I was by myself so they seated me in a nice cozy booth in the corner. The wait staff were both young men, one from nearby Ripon College and they were very friendly and attentive. I ordered a 10″ Garbage (loaded) thin crust pizza which was delicious. I really liked the ambiance of this place — I took a couple pictures that I’ll post.
In summary — I plan to eat here again some day when I am in this part of Wisconsin.

Great place with great food. Can easily transition from a drink out with adults to dinner with the family. Will keep coming back.

We had a great time at the Goose Blind. Speedy and friendly service, yummy drinks and fun environment. We are definitely coming back for dinner. The first Friday of the month is the 501 party which means raffles and buy one get one free rail/​house wine/​beer drinks which made everything even better! If you are in the area you should stop here right now!

Great bar food and excellent service. I had a house-​made Bloody Mary with a Spotted Cow chaser and The Lodge burger. Everything was delicious and the food came out promptly. If you can, ask to be seated in Lisa’s section. She’s a hoot and makes sure your food is just how you like it. Plus she knows everything going around these parts if you are looking to explore after you eat.

Great service, cheerful waitress, pretty good pizza, excellent burgers, Mac n cheese was cheesy and awesome. Prices slightly on the high side, but par for bar food these days. $ 82 for 4 people with sodas and a few beers. Good craft beer selection, but would have liked to see more porters and stouts. Clean.

The service here was quick and friendly, the best we have had on our trip to Green Lake. Amber was awesome. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the New York strip was tender and juicy and the chef’s Mac and cheese was delicious. Prices were good for the quality as well. Highly recommend

Solid food, we have been there several times. Will recommend and certainly return.

Fast and courteous customer service. We do not drink but they have a good selection of brews (being pregnant, cannot exactly indulge lol). My husband had the jalapeño creamy cheese soup and it has a kick but was pretty good. He ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, a bit on the watery side, but still good. I ordered their macaroni and cheese with bacon, very good! Both dinners came with a fresh, warm bread stick. If I were to come back, I would love to watch a game and have a beer :).

We had a good experience. Everyone’s food was very good. Prime Rib sandwich, fish tacos and mac n cheese all very tasty and plenty of it. Good service experience also.

Excellent family restaurant. Clean, great service. Good food, I had the chicken chili soup and was very good. Taco salad was a hit. Turkey burger was tasty. Would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Visiting Green Lake and needed someplace for dinner. Read the reviews and picked this place. Wait staff very friendly and the pulled pork sandwich was very good. Would eat there again.

Not a bad place for drinking some burgers and a regular bar food. Don’t ever go for the fish fry though it’s not good

The GB is me and my gal pals go-​to bar in Green Lake. The bartenders are friendly, food is tasty and the ambience is casual and fun!
Whether you’re looking for a local spot to catch a game, grab some lunch or enjoy a night out with your pals, the Goose is the best spot in town.
Here’s why:
— Tomato basil soup with bacon and blue cheese
— Ski shots
— Local beer (Spotted Cow, what what!)
— i-​touch juke box
— The claw carnival game (full of creepy stuffed animals)
— Summer slammer cocktails
— Yummy flatbreads
— Upstairs dance floor
Obviously all the makings for a great time! Now add the lovely staff on top of that and you’ve got the making of your new «regular» GL spot!
Sadly I only frequent the area about 4 times a year, but if I was a Green Lake resident I’d surely be a regular at Goose Blind :)

Was looking for a local place that had great food and the Goose Blind did not blindside us. Had a nice lunch with solid service. Diverse menu, lots of choices. The Pizza was great. Will go back if I am ever back in-​town

Great food for a bar and decent drinks. However, one member of our party didn’t receive his meal– the kitchen just forgot to make it. The mojito was one of the worst I’ve ever had, yet their beer list was decent. Overall, it’s a cute little place and recommended for a quick, cheap, and good meal.

Decent beer menu that featured both national-​chain and Wisconsin micro-​brew options. Good burgers and prices. I liked that sweet potato fries were an upgrade option.
Décor/​ambiance could use a little work. So dark in there for dinner!

Entire party of 10 enjoyed their dinner including 4 kids! Lots of choices, casual atmosphere, and good food.

Four of us traveled to Green Lake, last weekend, for a nice weekend away. Unfortunately, most places failed us, either with poor service and/​or bad food. The Goose Blind, however, was a pleasant surprise. We stopped here 3 seperate times over the course of a weekend. The food is what you would expect — solid bar food. The service is super friendly, with the exception of one loud-​mouth server. Mitch, the bartender was great. We also had another great bartender on Saturday night that was awesome, as well.
We’ll definitely be stopping in, on our next trip.

Good bar! Nice party place! I give it 4 stars because of ambiance, space, booze quality, and cute bartenders.
We (including the previous Unilocaler) were in town for a good friends August wedding at the Heidel House. The night before the rehearsal dinner we headed out for the brides birthday celebration. We drank, ate popcorn, sat out in the back covered patio. The clientele that Thursday night was a rowdy bunch of golfers, ready to flirt and talk to the pretty youngens.
I had heard the Goose Blind was a great place for shots, and the reports were true! By the end of the long weekend, I had completed the shot card and got the XXL T-​shirt, I now often sleep in.
The food we ate, the next night, upstairs at the rehearsal dinner, was mediocre. Just pizza and salads. The beer was flowing and we had a private bar tender.
When we went downstairs to work on our shot cards, we waited like 20 minutes at the bar. It was hopping, but when I hold cash in my hands, in your face, and you work for a tip… you’d better serve me.
I stomped off like a spazz, skipping shots for like an hour… then I got over it and came back.
