Lodo Company

Nice place, nice ambiance. Great food and service. The wings were really good. My martini was really good but the one they served was not cold. I had to put it back into the shaker because it was at room temperature. Other than that it was great. The menu was not clean it had a crusty drop of food on it. (See picture) Gross.

I really enjoyed getting lunch here. The food as great and I enjoyed my drink. The fish and chips were really good and I loved the fact that the fries were cooked to perfection. I would definitely come again.

It had been over a year since my last stop at Lodo Company; usually getting an order to go. I was greeted at door for seating preference. I told him I wanted to get a food to go order, have a beverage while waiting. He directed me to the bar to place my order. I asked him if I could take my drink outside to the small patio area. (Nice sunny afternoon it was). After I placed my order and received my drink I asked the bartender Dion Fromman about a small card on the bar that referenced the Michigan COVID-19 Contact tracing. (I had down loaded the app to my phone months ago). Dion explained its purpose, and interjected most establishments have been participating with such communication; that being a choice for the customer. Its one of their ways in keeping community safe...if I did not see such posting in my next endeavor of "eating out", I should inquire. I sat on the patio briefly, and a young lady (Kristen Schoder) brought my order out. I asked her about the process of the barcode with link to Michigan Department of Health; she acknowledged she would walk me through it and we went back inside. Kristen held the small card at an angle so I could scan the bar code. I scanned the bar code, and entered some Information as my name and email address. Thank you Dion and Kristen for enlightening me in practices to maintain health safety in the community. Masks required to enter: employees wearing masks. Bar stools sat long the bar for social distancing. Tables for seating up to 4 individuals also spaced. Oh yes; my order of Beef Quesida was great! So great, I forgot to take pic of the order... Just as I remembered.

This was our first time in portage. We looked around for a dine in restaurants. Found this gem of a place. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was cozy. The service we received was exceptional. First time ever seeing bacon jam. We asked for a sample. They brought us out a sample and we loved the taste. So we ordered a burger with bacon jam. It was great. Upon paying. We asked if we could buy some to take home. Since we live more than an hour from portage. The server said yes. This place is definitely worth the drive.

It's my 21st birthday! And this place has some amazing drinks! They have this cider that is incredible called Zombie Killer. Have to try it. Their food is really good too. They have some unique items as well as some normal but amazing meals. Their wings are pretty good and they also have decent calamari! The atmosphere here is pretty decent as well. For being in a strip mall type location, it seems like it may not be a true brick and mortar bar, but the moment you walk in, that all changes. It's wonderful. Please come here and have a wonderful time!
