T-Dub’s Public House

Ate here tonight for the first time. It had become my favorite restaurant in Waupaca. The salmon is excellent. My husband said the shrimp was the best he ever had. The garlic smashed potatoes are superb. Since it was my birthday dinner they provided complementary chocolate lava cake. Best chocolate cake I have ever had. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The owner came around twice to check in us. She was very friendly. Our waitress Hannah was excellent. The restaurant is small but the atmosphere is classy and the building has a lot of character. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu options.

Tried the pub again hoping for better food. Marginally better but the main issue was that we purchased a nice bottle of Stags Leap for our anniversary and the wine had turned. After politely suggesting to the waitress to test/​exchange the bar tender came up to the table and proceeded to educate us on wine. I personally know this vineyard and blend well. Wasn’t happy with the attitude. Needless to say we just left most of the wine and left. I would suggest if you want mediocre food and bad wine, go for it, otherwise spend your money elsewhere.

There really is no better Friday night fish fry anywhere. I mean anywhere. The Bass Ale Battered Haddock is easily the best fish I have ever eaten. The service is always excellent. I love the creative appetizers that are always different and delicious. Dessert is always amazing too. If you are anywhere near Waupaca this place is worth going out of your way for.

This place has an incredible selection of craft brews. Food is very good. Difficult to find lighter fare, besides salads. Reuben sandwich had more of a BBQ type sauce, was good

Good atmosphere– average food. The jambalaya was SO salty I couldn’t eat it. Chicken Vesuvio isn’t really chicken Vesuvio — which I was in the mood for. The Irish stew is good —
The wait staff is really nice and drinks are good..
I don’t see us going back since we’ve tried just about everything and it’s not a place a person longs to go for a great meal. Plus It would be nice if the menu changed now and again so we could try something new .
Sadly there isn’t much to choose from in Waupaca. I’m giving two stars only because the wait staff is so nice …

In Waupaca for business, and for four years never knew this gem existed! The owner is going from table to table making sure all is fine… and we just sat down! The place was packed on a rainy cold nite! The entrée was amazing, the atmosphere was happy with every age group. If you’re in town, this is a «must see».! My only regret was not being able to see the fall colors next to the river and park pavilion.

I come to Waupaca once a year, I had not found good food here since the Italian place closed. The experience here was great except for the large group of loud swearing drunks in the corner. Our waitress, Caitlynn, was amazing, and actually got them to quiet down a bit. We also got complimentary dessert because of them.
I read another review about the hamburger and he was right, it was quite the work of art. I love hamburgers that have that sirloin taste. My mother had the salmon, a genuine portion instead of the usual flat tiny piece you get elsewhere. Cooked perfectly.
My wife had the filet, very tender. The chef here may be too cautious about overcooking the steak, the medium request was medium rare, but she liked it anyway.
Delicious desserts, especially the cheesecakes.
Caitlynn knows all the beers and recommended a great one to go with the hamburger.
I’ll be back next August.

We love this restaurant. In fact, when it came time to planning our wedding, we asked them if they could do the food. Thankfully, they said yes. In short, I have never heard people rave about a wedding dinner so much. I am still getting compliments weeks after the wedding.
Ribs, pulled pork, citrus chicken… all done at a venue with no kitchen. It was an amazing meal. They went the extra mile for us and everyone loved it.
All the more reason to head on down for a good meal, with great beer, in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The people here are great. Special thanks to Caitlin and her team.
Thanks for everything. See you soon.

TDub’s Public House gets an excellent rating from us. Stopped here for dinner & food was really good. Didn’t get to try the microbrews as we were driving right after leaving there. A big plus was the outdoor patio — it’s situated at the rear of the building, right across from a park & river, so it’s quiet & peaceful, unlike many restaurant’s outdoor seating areas. Staff was friendly & prompt. Wonderful place — I look forward to going back!

If you want great drinks, excellent service, good food, amazing dessert in a unique and comfortable atmosphere tdubs is for you. My absolute favorite go to place.

In the area for the past 2 weeks. Found this place by accident. Great find. DW and I ate there a week ago. We had steaks, both done perfectly. Could have used a bit more seasoning (some garlic & pepper, pinch salt for our tastes, but that is very minor.). Salads are fresh and great. Sides are fantastic.
My son and his girl friend visited and I took them to T-​Dubs. Very friendly staff. Excellent drink menu. Had the fish fry which was outstanding. Awesome stuffed mushrooms and spinach dip appetizers.
If you are in the area this place is a must. It is a 3 hour drive each way for me, but I would consider it.
Dinner for 3 ~$ 30 per person.

I wrote a poor review of the place and now I see that the review has been removed. How does that happen? How reliable are the reviews? Does Unilocal get paid to remove the unfavorable reviews? Bad food. I have to give a star just for this to post. I really mean a no star.

We have eaten at TW’s a number of times and the food has been good. We had not been there for a number of months and decided to try again. I ordered the Irish Sauce Salmon, and it was incredibly salty. Almost in edible. And the potatoes were saturated in butter and salt, so much so that it was hard to tell that I was eating potatoes. My wife ordered a garden salad and the veggies were old and dried out, like having sat in an open bowl in the frig for a couple of days, not what one would expect for a $ 10 salad. $ 42 later, and while the wait staff was wonderful and the beer excellent, we were very disappointed and probably will not return. Too bad.

What a great find for dinner and drinks on the road up north. Great menu and beer selection, super friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Try the bourbon beer and the shepherds pie, you won’t be disappointed!

Had fish fry. Great food. Enjoyed a Red breast at the bar after. Think they may have the only bottle in all of waupaca county

For us this is a destination stop that is well worth the drive. Unique setting! Great food and spirits! Owners will come around and check in on you. Service is fast and friendly. We recently had the Fish Fry and a Half-​Rack of Ribs and they were delicious. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

One of the best pubs town offering an upscale menu with a good selection of beer. Décor is warm, inviting and making good use of the basement architecture. Too bad they aren’t open during lunch hours.

Amazing atmosphere and food. The Guinness beef stew was hearty and delicious… I think I could survive on that stew all winter. I just might have to move to Waupaca and make T.W. Martens my second home. The pub is cozy and welcoming in an upscale casual way and is full of friendly people (many who seem to be regulars). The menu has a good selection of food and beer… great for the lone traveler or a group of friends.

Fish and chips are more like fish disks with fries.
Their pints are more like schooners. When I asked for a full size pint, instead of this feminine sized schooner, I was told «Sorry dear, we only have one sized pint, and you’re looking at it.» But… it… is… not even a pint.
Service was ok.
I don’t know Locals rave about the place. I guess us out of towners have our bars set to a different level… pun intended.

The food is way better than anything you can expect to find in Waupaca.
They have a great selection of microbrews to boot.
Bartender James always ensures a great time!
