The Upper Deck Sports Bar & Grill

This is a great place, and a classic for the locals in Portage Lakes. My dad grew up mowing the lawn here, and on a recent trip to see family we gathered here for a quick lunch. The two best things about this place? The prices and the view! There is a huge patio for enjoying nice weather in the summer, and I didn't see a dish on the menu over $10.

My family got two different types of pizza, chili dogs, two types of salads, and fried banana peppers and jalapenos. The buffalo chicken salad I had was wonderful- the half portion was incredibly large and filling. The buffalo chicken was extra spicy, which pared well with the thick bleu cheese dressing on top. The friend banana peppers were great!

Stop by for a great view of the lake and some very cheap (yet tasty) eats.

Fantastic during the summer time as they have a HUGE patio overlooking the Portage Lakes. The Upper Deck may be the dirtiest bar on the lakes, but they have relatively cheap drinks, so it makes for a good ole' drunken redneck time yelling at the patrons over at Dietz's.

My favorite bartender is apparently gone.  At least Chaz still performs slave labor there, I think.

They got the short end of the stick when it comes to bartenders.  Only go during the summer, when going on the deck isn't painfully uncomfortable and a hazard to your health.
