This is one of my favorite comfort food places when visiting Indiana. Â It isn't a place I would go if I wanted a fancy, romantic dinner. Â But it is great for a lazy Saturday or Sunday when you just want something that tastes good. Â I have had a few things here that I have liked. Â They have awesome fried mushrooms, which sounds crazy for me to say because I HATE mushrooms. Â If you give me anything with mushrooms on it, I am sending it right back where it came from. Â However, I was forced to try one of the fried mushrooms here by my boyfriend and I am so glad that I did. Â The breading on these suckers is so amazing that it doesn't even bother me that I am eating fungus. Â They also come with a pretty delicious dipping sauce. Â The pesto pizza is also a great option. Â It is a thin, flatbread style pizza that hits the spot. Â The last time I went I had a really good salad called the Sycamore Chop Salad. Â I am not a beer person, but this seems to be a great place to have a beer. Â Service has always been really good and it is a nice atmosphere.
Review Source:Lets start with the good: the beer selection! Â For Terre Haute you can't beat the selection of beer they have. I'd like to see more on tap, but that's just a personal preference.
The not so good: it does have an old mothball-like smell/feel to it. I get that it's old, but it could definitely use a major cleaning. Some attention to detail would go a long way.
The bad: Â the wait staff. Almost all of them have no social skills when it comes to dealing with customers. In all the years I've lived in Terre Haute and went there, only twice have I had a waiter that was awesome, and it was the same guy (I wish I could remember his name). Â It always seems like they're troubled to have to come wait on you. Â Fortunately the beer allows me to looks past this.
The food: Â It's just OK. Usually a little greasier than I prefer, but it's pub grub, so that's to be expected. My favorites are their wings and the veggie burger.
Food is very average. Â Their fried jalapenos were just a basket of store bought sliced pickled jalapenos deep fried. Â You can only eat a quarter of the basket or you'll feel the wrath. Â The only reason its getting 3 stars is because the beer selection is good and the building has a very old feeling with the exposed brick and wood. Â Also there really isn't anything else "unique" in Terre Haute.
Review Source:Great bar/pub food in an old rustic building atmosphere. The menu has good variety but I'd stick to burgers and sandwiches as this is Mogger's wheel house when it comes to food, as far as drinks go it's beer. The beer selection here is second to none. So if a good sandwich and cold beer is what you crave you can't go wrong here. Also when the weather is nice ask to sit out back in the patio area. Not many people tend to sit out there so you may end up getting a nice private dinning experience. I highly recommend the Italian beef, with a side of fried mushrooms washed down with a glass of Red Chimay.
Review Source:Three of us drove down for the weekend to visit a friend who just moved to Terre Haute to work at ISU. Starving upon arrival, our friend suggested that we all visit M Mogger's.
Between us, we ordered a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, a veggie burger and a veggie pizza, and also a mushroom soup. The food looked pretty appetizing, and we all felt the prices were a good value.
The burger was probably the best item -- pink and juicy, cooked to order and hand pressed. The chicken fingers were tasty but a bit dry. The veggie burger was OK, the pizza was sadly very, very soggy...and the veggies on it were clearly from a can. The cream of mushroom soup was bland, not creamy, and again...featured mushrooms from a can.
Some of the menus were dirty and the atmosphere was rustic.
I'd try other places before going back, but I wouldn't rule out a burger and beer here.
Dis-organized. Â
The food was delicious! Â Beer was good and cold.
The help is completely disorganized on an a Tuesday night. Â I blame this on mis-management, not the workers. Â I didn't see clear, defined roles. Â There appears to be enough people, but they disappear and if you're not 'their' table and you have an empty glass they walk right by, not making eye contact.... Â I'm not a restaurant owner, but I eat out +130 nights /year. They just don't follow the basics, like dipping the glass and the mixer in the ice bin to get ice.
Will I be back? Yes, it'll get a second and maybe 3rd shot..
My first experience at Mogger's was an unplesent one. The bar/restaruant reminded me of places that I have been in the south with its decor and wood features. The food was overdone and over priced. The waitress had to tell us about the half of dozzen items not available because the back of the house is poorly managed. My steak was ordered medium and came out well. I'm not sorry to say that I will not give them a second chance. The owners of the Stables restruant should be ashamed that they are part of such a down right discusting experience.
Review Source:The food here is good, but I don't recomment the bar. We went in for a nice evening out, free of kids for a few hours and thought this would be a good place. We have eaten there before and liked the food. Â The restaurant I recommend, the bar...not so much! We sat there and watched an old dried up lady with braids in her hair trying to mix drinks. She was reading the ingredients on the menu to try to figure out the drinks. I ordered a long island ice tea and it was AWFUL! To make it worse, she made a blended drink for someone at one of the tables and after filling the glass, there was a little left. So what does she do? She said "I'm not wasting this!" and she got a straw out and drank some of it. Then 2 other waitresses came over and took a couple and drinks. right in front of us! If that wasn't bad enough..when the waiter returned to get the drink to bring to his table, they put that on his tray to serve with the drink to the customer!!!! Oh my!! Needless to say, we left and won't EVER go back again!!!
Review Source:This place is a variable. It's a little overpriced for what you actually get. The beer selection is good. The ambience is very cool. It seems like the staff is a constant rotation of early twenties hippies which isn't always bad. I just don't know about this place though. I hate to give a less than favorable review for a place that isn't chain and has so much history, but i have to be true to my taste.
Review Source:This place has had its ups and downs. I believe it to be back on the up and up now as the last 3 times I have been there it has been a good experience.
Their beer selection is one of the best in Terre Haute. Their bottled selection is EXCELLENT. Their bartenders are pretty knowledgeable about their beers.
When I sat down at the table, I was waited on within 10 minutes. Not fast, but it gave me time to look over the menu, and by menu I mean beer menu!
My sevrer was a nice young girl who was not in the best of moods but tried to keep it upbeat. I gave her a good tip because I could tell one of her tables was giving her multiple issues. Drunk college kids can do that to you. She did her best and for that I applaud her.
Their Italian Beef and onion rings were AMAZING! Paired it with a nice craft beer (Three Floyds Gumballhead) and it hit the spot.
Their pizza is also VERY good and try their Bleemel Street Burger.
I have seen this place at its worst about 5 years ago, and it has improved vastly since then. Hopefully they continue to head in the right direction.
As far as getting a decent burger in TH, I would say this is top 3. Since moving here in April 2011 we have tried a ton of places and so far most have been a bust. M Moggers and 7th & Elm are top 3, and sadly Applebees makes it there as well.
That all said, Moggers is darn good. Big half-pound burgers, a zillion beer choices, and lots of other menu items (I'm told the beer battered fish is to die for).
My boyfriend and I had the same thing - the Pub Cheeseburger. Half-pound of fresh beef (I could only eat half) and fresh-cut fries that were super crisp and awesome. The place was quiet on a Sunday for lunch so service was great. A little on the high side cost-wise for TH, our bill was $24 for 2 people. But worth it in our pursuit of a great local burger!
Indiana still allows smoking throughout, so it was nice that there was a smoking and nonsmoking section. The server was friendly, though things took a bit longer than expected. The food was very good (burger, pizza, and loaded potato skins) and the beer selection is also great. It is a decent size place with a very bar-esque decor. But comfortable enough for a quick bite to eat.
Review Source:While I haven't had a chance to sample much Cincinnati cuisine since moving back, my wife and I did enjoy a couple of good meals while on the road between Denver and Cincy. Our last night of travel took us to Terre Haute, Indiana where we had bad luck at one restaurant choice and really good luck at another.
Our first choice for dinner was a place called Sonka Irish Pub after reading some reviews and seeing that it was regarded as having an excellent beer selection. Unfortunately the entire pub is a smoking establishment, which we quickly decided would not be appropriate for our three-month old.
We loaded back into the car and headed over to M. Moggers Restaurant and Pub. This should have been our first choice since it was much more restaurant like and didn't allow smoking throughout. Plus they too had a very good selection of beers. My wife had a sampler of five different beers while I opted to enjoy a Double Dragonfly from Upland Brewing followed up with a Two Hearted Ale from Bell's.
For dinner my wife ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries while I decided to go with the traditional supreme pizza with Authentic Italian spicy tomato sauce topped with pepperoni, sausage, onion, bell peppers, mushrooms and mozzarella. The pizza was very good though a bit on the small side though it was only $9. And the buffalo chicken tasty and definitely on the spicier side as far as the sauce goes. After just sampling a couple of items on their list I can see how this would be the #4 ranked restaurant in Terre Haute.
Very impressed. I had eaten here years ago, but didn't appreciate what a nice place this is. Decorated turn-of-the-century, Mogger's has amaxing wood floors. It is a beautiful place for a bar/grill. And despite how nice the space is, its the food that's the main attraction.
Started with the batter fried onion ring appetizer. Delectable (see photo). I don't like onion rings, I didn't order them, but I couldn't stop eating them. Server was quick with a sandwich recommendation. I had the Italian beef. It was simple, tangy, and not fatty and soppy. So many restaurants cheat by serving a slab of greasy fat and calling it a sandwich. That's not for me. I want an authentic, reasonably healthy sandwich. This was a great sandwich on a wonderful long roll. Also, you can get the satandard fries as a side, but Mogger's also serves soup, salad, and a variety of veggies as optional sides without an upcharge. Not many places will do that, and few that do serve a soup or veggies that you would want to eat. The cream and broccoli soup was outstanding. The broccoli was still fresh and crisp in the soup. (photo). Everything is homemade at Moggers, and it shows. They have an outstanding beer selection and some of the very best on draught. They were out of the 311, but it was New Year's, so to be expected.
Servers were excellent and the place is always clean. Prices are reasonable for quality stuff. Interesting and dependable menu. Can't say enough. It's worth the trip from the interstate to eat here. Bypass the chain cas dining joints crammed on 40 and give Moggers a shot. Really is a treasure in TH.
The pizza is divine. Okay, I know it's a brewery. I had a delightful brew from a bottle Dead guy Ale Santa's private reserve. Â The server was very keen on the drinkability of the beer. Which I adore, a bit of knowledgeability. Â
And, Back to the Pizza. Â It was small personal sized thin crust and greasy as hell! Â Spice- how nice. Â Quite possibly compared to my favorite place in Holland, MI Skylers Pub
BUT- I will say this M Mogger's is better.
Framboise ? Check .. Nice bartenders ? Check .. Free shot of the best tasting thing ever? Double check!!!! I met a mudslide and fell in love with it'd cousin an avalanche .. I can say that ok Indiana I have learned about an amazing drink that I never had before .. They have live music .. For free!! The venue is large enough that it could equipt a bunch of folks .. I am truly a fan ..
Review Source:We stopped by here for dinner. Was not crowded at all. We were seated immediately.
Wow, what a selection of beers. Our waiter was awesome. Name a beer you like and he could match it to something on the menu, plus give a little history on the beer. Guy knew his beer inside and out.
I had the Italian Beef Sandwich with Au jus and onion rings. It was delicious, especially the onion rings. I tore them up.
I would go here again.
Mogger's is a great place to eat. Â The food is GREAT, never been disappointed. Â The bread pudding is my favorite ever, granted I try not to order it too often. Â The only thing that Mogger's a lacking is great service to go with the food. Â Sometimes the service is downright awful, but only when I sit in the dining room. Â I've had better luck eating in the bar, which you can smoke in but it's well ventilated. Â Uriah, one of the bar tenders, is the best server in the building and I make sure that he waits on me if he's working.
The food makes up for what the restaurant lacks in service. Â The drink selection and the food and drink specials are amazing. Â Eat there often!
Ok so I was warned before hand that the service was AWFUL!
However we came on a Sunday night and were waited on hand and foot. The food came quickly, drinks were refilled before they were finished, it was great. The server was funny.
I had a beefy sandwich (sorry, I don't remember which one) and it was wonderful. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I LOVED the fries! Just the right kind of greasy.
I would definitely go back if it wasn't 1500 miles away
Moggers is a great restaurant and bar.  The ambiance is fantastic.  The building used to be part of  Terre Haute's once famous brewery district in the early 1900's. Â
As far as food I recommend the Water Street Melt. Â The burger is served on rye bread with sauteed onions, and their in house 1,000 island dressing. Â They will also prepare your burger anyway you desire. Â I ordered it medium rare and it was fantastic. Â
Another dish I order is the Moggers Salad. Â This salad has bacon, egg, blue cheese crumbles, homemade croutons and has a home made sweet and tangy dressing. Â I always add the blackened chicken to my order.
The bar has one of the best assortment of beers in Terre Haute. Â I recommend Gangster Pale Ale, Harvest Valley Wheat, Hazy Days Wheat Ale and the Limestone Lager. Â All of these beers are brewed right across the street in the Terre Haute Brewery. Â
My only complaint about Moggers is that I had my rehearsal dinner their and they served a fantastic fried chicken that was hand breaded and had wonderful flavor. Â The only problem is that this it is not on their regular menu and should definitely be included. Â .
Ate here for lunch one day with my brother on our way to Indy from Evansville. Â He use to bartend here back in college so my standards were set semi-high already. Â We are some potato skins & the friend jalapenos. Â The potato skins were decent, I mean, how can you screw up a potato skin? Â But the friend jalapenos were AWESOME! Â I live in SoCal and have never had them the way that Mogger's does it, but I LOVED them!
Review Source:Moggers is truly a landmark in Terre Haute. The fries are greasy, the burgers are delicious and the salads are yummy.
Generally speaking, though, Â every time I go to Moggers one person in the party ends up with major indigestion. It's good enough that that is normally good enough odds to go back, though!
I travel to Terre Haute every now and then for work, and every time I've gotta eat at Mogger's. Â Don't let them fool you with that Indiana Brewed beer...yuck. Â But just about everything I've tried on the menu has been top-notch quality bar food. Â They have this spicy sauce that comes with their fried jalapeno appetizer. Â I think I return mainly for this sauce. Â The burgers, sandwiches, and dinner specials I've tried are all good...especially when you have this spicy sauce to dip with (it goes with anything). Â
Did I mention the sauce that comes with the jalapenos is awesome? Â :)
Now go there and try the sauce!!
The best thing about Mogger's is its atmosphere. Â In a town full of chain restaurants, Mogger's is a true Terre Haute original dating back to the late 1800s when it was once a brewery and it maintains its historic connection by serving the Terre Haute original- Champagne Velvet beer. Â Because of its history, we would often bring family or friends here on their first visit to Terre Haute.
This is a great place to take a large group of people for an evening as there is plenty of space with various booths, tables, or even room at the bar. Â If you're in the mood for beer, there's quite a large bottled beer selection (125 beers from around the world). Â The local menu favorites are the Pork Tenderloin and Italian Beef sandwiches, and if you don't get there at the right time, they may actually be sold out of one or both of these items. Â The portions are on the larger side, so come hungry.
My main reason for giving it three stars is that the food is OK but not spectacularly seasoned or unique and the water definitely has a certain flavor to it. Â Almost every time I went to eat there, I was joined by a fly at my table. Â I don't know if its the same lonely fly coming to visit me each time, or if they have a problem with flies- but it definitely annoyed me during my meals and made me put off going there more frequently.
The beer selection was average. Â The white beer I had wasn't too bad. Â The catfish, on the other hand, was terrible. Â It was supposed to be blackened - it had a little paprika sprinkled on it. Â It was rare on the inside and mushy/overcooked on the outside. Â Prices were a little high for the area.
Review Source:This was one of our regular stops while living in Terre Haute for four years. Â The beer-battered cheesesticks are absolutely the best!!!! Â Also, their signature Mogger's salad is a must. Â Don't get the iced tea though--just a warning. Â They tend to have some issues with their water. Â For dessert, the cinnamon ice cream with apple crisp is to die for. Â We did notice that the prices have increased a bit the last time we went, but I think it's still worth a visit!
Review Source:The drink selection is great, no complaints there. Â The atmosphere is fun.
The food is awful. Â It's just ordinary bar food (aka fried frozen food). Â I don't think anything is "homemade" and there are no nice touches. Â The prices are rather high. Â College students like this place because it's better than cafeteria food, but not by much.
I was a year in Terre Haute before I tried Mogger's, and I definitely waited too long.
Located on the site of an old brewery, Mogger's is a quintessential pub. The atmosphere is dark and aged, with brick and rough wood as the primary theme of the space.
The service is friendly, responsive, and knowledgable, which is important, as one of the establishment's main attractions is their excellent selection of wine and beer.
The food is fairly traditional pub fare - burgers, fries, and steaks - but it's all extremely well done. The onion straws (like broken onion rings) are spectacular, and the burgers are thick and satisfying, cooked to specification.
Pricing is reasonable, about in the range of a sit-down chain restaurant. I usually end up paying around $20 for a meal there, but I tend to drink some of the more expensive beers, so a meal could be had for less.
