We had to have the bratwurst of course. wife had the traditional and I had the stuffed brat with onion rings. We ordered sodas which came right away. And the brats were fairly close behind. The onion rings are outstanding. They added $3.99 which I thought was fair. You got the onion flavor and a crunchy batter that wasn't too thick. The cheese in the brat was barely noticeable. I wouldn't order it again. Not worth the hype. It came overflowing with grated cheddar, I ordered raw onions which were extra. My wife's brat was decent but super mild with not a lot of flavor. I was glad to try this place. I'm sure it rocks at night especially if they have a band.

Know before you go…read more.. Let's just start by saying that I am a big fan of German food, and given that there just so few German restaurants around, when I find one I get excited to try it. Initially, I was hoping to dine here with my wife on a Monday evening, but the online hours said they were closed. So we drove downtown into the Dells to search out somewhere to eat. As we drove past Hofbrewzhaus, I saw that they were actually open, so we excitedly parked and walked over. The exterior is really nicely done, and it looks modern and up-to-date, as if someone was really excited about what they were doing. Having heard they had 30 or so German beers, I was excited to try something I don't often get. My first hint that something was odd was when we walked in the door, and the wall in front of us was done up with Colombian flags and other such South American decorations. I was confused, but we continued in to the bar area, where we met a friendly Colombian (?) woman wearing a t-shirt that said "Prost!" Businesses in the Dells are known for having a lot of foreign employees, so again, this didn't throw me off too much. She sat us at a table, and served us, and was very friendly and sweet the whole time. We tipped her well. When we opened our menus, however, I quickly noted that page 1 was German food (and it was a somewhat limited menu), and page 2 was Colombian food (and it was a jam-packed, extensive menu). I ordered beer, and it took about 5 tries to pick something they actually had! Somehow, I managed to pick--again and again--the beers they were out of. Bit of a bummer, but I suppose it happens. Still, it's never a good feeling when you can't trust the menu... Anyway, I got schnitzel and my wife got something Colombian. I had ordered the schnitzel sandwich (which was around $14) and was served the actual schnitzel entree (which was $22)...but oh well. Look, none of this is really a complaint...service was good, the food was ultimately fine. The beer (once I found one they had) was good. But it was nothing special. And if you're looking for an authentic German experience, this was about as authentically German as the kids running around Wizard Quest down the street are authentically wizards. About as authentically German as Mt. Olympus Waterpark is authentically ancient Greek. About as authentically German as Kalahari Resort is an authentically southern Africa safari experience. Which...I suppose...fits the Dells...

I read the reviews before coming here. My husband didn't. Hence this mess of a review…read more I don't enjoy giving one-Star reviews. You'll see I rarely give them. I was a business owner and I know that kind of thing can hurt. But there comes a time.... It would appear that this used to be a very good German restaurant. The building has exquisite bones, with German murals on the wall etc. there's an adorable outdoor area that looks like a German fest. Idk what exactly happened, but presumably it's what's happened to many German restaurants. They were started many years ago by immigrants and then eventually the line died out or lost interest. I'm assuming it was bought by a family from Colombia. Who for an unfathomable reason must have thought "we'll still keep the German restaurant but just add a Colombian menu too." Which really wouldn't stress me if they cooked both foods well. You do you. But when they cook German food so poorly as to make it inedible, then I get pissed off, because food is super expensive now and you've just made me waste $50 on horrible food. No! There was absolutely nothing on the menu for a vegetarian to eat besides an $18 salad or cheese curds. I went with them figuring I'd just eat later at home. Hubs ordered his favorite German meal, chicken with gravy and spaetzle. The gravy tastes like they opened a jar, the meat was anemic and he described it as floppy. Had barely any coating. And the spaetzle was inedible. It's his favorite thing. He always orders extra. The place was like a ghost town and now I know why. Believe it. Supposedly the Colombian food is better so just dump the German part and make it a Colombian restaurant if you enjoy that. If you like German food I wouldn't recommend eating here.

The good was fresh and wrapped in tin foil to keep it hot and fresh. The chicken is hand breaded and large portions. I was surprised to find pickles a relish on my sandwich, which I didn't entirely mind, but the relish was overloaded and took away from the rest of the flavor. We also ordered the churros with chocolate sauce and they were amazing, so amazing that we stopped back the next afternoon before heading home to grab another order and we ordered deep fried oreos as well, which were very good as well. this place is busy, so food does take a while to prepare but it's a great spot for a low key meal or treat. Next time we want to try the Dubai funnel cake; it looks amazing!

The sandwich was ok, the corned beef was tough and big pieces would pull out of the sandwich when I tried to take a bite.

Honestly, the best thing about this restaurant is the location--you can easily head downstairs and grab supper without having to leave the resort or get back in the car. The service was fine, our waiter was friendly. I did wish there was some windows, it was dark and closed in. The food was pretty average and what you'd expect from a typical bar and grill. Nothing particularly stood out as amazing or unique, but everything was good and hit the spot. If convenience is your priority, it's a solid option while staying at Kalahari!

We didn't get immediate seating, but for a Saturday at lunch time that makes sense. They did get us in about 25 minutes later which I didn't think was too crazy. In total we were there for 90 minutes. We were seated upstairs, so we all got to take the elevator up. That was fun. We were kind of seated in a corner booth behind a wall, so I feel like maybe we were forgotten about a little bit by our server. I also think he was the only one working upstairs, so he might have been a bit overwhelmed. But he was very nice and took care of all of our requests. All of our food was decently good. Three of us got the bbq bacon style burger, one got a salad, the kids got the Mac bites, and one of us got the brisket sandwich. I was happy to see that one of the side options was carrots and celery, and they were big pieces of veggies for the sides. Would I come back here again? It's certainly not out of the question. This is my first time visiting this area so I'm sure there are other places to try as well.
