    Biscuit & Gravy Skillet

    I had brunch here on a Saturday by myself. It was busy but not loud. All the staff was very kind and attentive. I got a lemonade flight and the biscuits and gravy skillet. Both were phenomenal and I'll definitely be back here regularly. There was a bit of a wait for a table, but my wait was shorter than they quoted and they'll text you so I didn't mind wandering around the shops near by to kill time.

    The food was so delicious! I had the Build Your OwnBiscuits & Gravy which is such a fantastic idea!! I added ham and all the veggies! I love Biscuits & Gravy but the addition of ham and veggies really topped it off! It's a large portion so make sure you're hungry! Also tried the yogurt bowl, simple and classic with fresh strawberries the granola is really nut heavy if you have any nut allergies I wouldn't try the granola. My boyfriend had the 2 egg breakfast that he scarfed down he was so hungry and it was so good! I tried the Vanilla Dirty Chai which really is just like a chai coffee. It was good but I think I'll stick with my classic chai! The restaurant itself is super cute! There was a long wait but it was Sunday morning. They have a large selection of coffees and pastries while you wait and will alert you on your cell phone once your table is ready.

    Signature breakfast bagel- with hash browns.

    Friendly service- really top notch. Clean, fresh- just a great little find for us. Breakfast and lunch. Specials and daily soups. Plenty of space- outside courtyard area if you want to go items...plenty of seating. Coffee is great. Cinnamon roll app- gooey, warm and lots of frosting. Loved our visit...

    Courtyard Bagel Sandwich

    Great service, comfy booths, and a nice variety of menu choices! The signature breakfast sandwich was great! The bagel was really soft, chewy, and fresh. Love that they have espresso drinks, and their coffee was good. The cinnamon roll was a nice treat.

    Retuned after almost a year and this restaurant is just as good! We had the same server too! Try this family owned restaurant out!

    California Chicken

    This was our first time trying this cafe. We arrived around 1 p.m. and were seated immediately. As the name suggests, the interior has a courtyard cafe vibe--cute, warm, and cozy, especially during the winter. Our server was welcoming and friendly and took our orders right away; however, they were not very visible throughout the rest of our visit. Despite this, the other staff members were kind and stepped in to accommodate us. We ordered the California Chicken (sandwich style) and the Meatlovers Skillet: The California Chicken sandwich came on hamburger buns, which I was not expecting. Unfortunately, the buns were soggy upon arrival and not the best texture. The chicken itself lacked flavor and was not very impressive. The sandwich came with a side, and I chose the Chicken Dumpling Soup, which was good and enjoyable. The Meatlovers Skillet was good--the sauce was tangy and added a nice kick to the dish, though it can feel heavy to start off the day. Overall, the cafe had a cozy atmosphere and friendly staffs, but the food was a hit or miss. We would consider returning to try other menu items.

    Pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast

    Food was amazing. There was a 25 min wait but it was worth it. Pineapple mimosa was good as well as the service. Highly recommend.

    We were traveling through town and I saw the great reviews on this place so we decided to stop in for lunch. We got there at 1:40pm and the sign on the door said they close at 2pm. We asked if it was ok if we came in and they said 'of course'. The staff there was FANTASTIC! They said they'd stay open as long as we needed. No hurry. Absolutely focused on customer service. They serve breakfast all day which is a huge plus for me so I decided I was in the mood for pancakes for lunch. Three huge fluffy buttermilk pancakes with plenty of butter and syrup were served. Husband had a traditional lunch of a club sandwich. All good. The restaurant has high ceilings and a big open room. Outside is an Oktoberfest vibe. There is a courtyard area in the back that looked nice. They were gearing up for the Wine Walk which I thought was cool that they were participants in the local activities. Great stop.

    California omelette

    This is the second time I've been at Courtyard Cafe - first time was for lunch and this time for breakfast. They have cute monthly coffee drink specials. Today I ordered their Easter Latte made with dark chocolate and marshmallow. It's a large cup and perfectly balanced. I ordered their California omelette subbing ham for the turkey. It comes with choice of toast and a small house salad (size of a small cup). The omelette was perfectly cooked and stuffed with the bacon and ham. The avocado was sliced on top. I didn't eat the salad but took it with me - just was too full. Service is good. Wasn't too busy mid morning - the last time I was here for lunch which was about an hour later the place was hopping. This is a nice addition to the upper dells.

    Came to the Dells to celebrate my daughter's birthday and was looking to find some food that was worth the money. Every single dish down to the side salad was perfect. I met the owner and she is a younger lady who clearly has a passion for food much like myself!. It was so refreshing to find this spot when all that seems to be around are food spots that overcharge and under deliver. The owner even went out of her way to make my daughter's birthday special. This place is a must for anyone who wants to have great breakfast or lunch that knows good quality food! As my son said 10 out of 10 would recommend and we will come again! -Chef Arthur

    Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and breakfast salad
    Max G.

    I strayed from my usual breakfast review routine here because I'm a firm believer that if the restaurant has something it treats as it's "thing" that's what you should try. Eggs Benedict is something I enjoy but am picky about, but it was pushed and I went for it. I just wasn't impressed with the whole picture, particularly the sauce. Nothing to write home about on hashbrowns. Maybe this is a regional tastes issue because breakfast salad was a novel experience (note: that was actually alright, and in company of something else I think the sweeter tang might've complimented nicely). Might give it another run next year.

    We loved this place! Most people seemed to be there with large parties, which work well here. They…read morehave so much seating- the place just seems to keep going and going. I went with just my two children (5 and 9). We had to wait in line to check in, but then we were seated right away. I noticed larger parties had to wait a little bit, but not long. When you check in with the hostess, they explain how everything works and what's included in your price. Then you can order additional drinks with the hostess. You pay right at the hostess stand before being seated which was kind of cool, so you don't have to worry about it later. You also have the option to tip before or after. Once you sit you are brought any included drinks (white milk, apple juice, orange juice, coffee), purchased drinks (chocolate milk, lattes, etc), and donuts. The donuts were fantastic. I asked for a decaf latte but they didn't have decaf. The latte was still good. They then bring out small plates of ham, sausage, eggs, biscuits with gravy, and pancakes. All of it was delicious. Your wait staff checks in with you consistently and asks if you want any refills on food. It's all you can eat! Of course on your way out you have to check out the fun gift shop!

    The food overall was good, and there were definitely some highlights, but there are a few things I…read morewould improve. The dining area felt quite crowded, which made it a little uncomfortable and harder to fully enjoy the experience. The donuts, while decent, were a bit too powdery for my taste and could have been better in texture and balance. That said, there were also some strong positives. The variety of different dishes was enjoyable, and many of them tasted really good. One standout was the potatoes--they were especially flavorful and well-prepared. On top of that, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of, which really added to the overall experience. In the end, while there are a few areas that could be improved, the combination of good food, great service, and standout items like the potatoes made it a solid dining experience.

We did not have the best experience with the service unfortunately. Our reservation table was not ready on arrival and nobody came up to our table to greet or take our drink order until around 20 minutes after we sat down. We also had requested to sit outside and they reported that they didn't have a table for this. I checked outside after and they had multiple tables outside open. I ordered the mushroom risotto and espresso martini. The espresso martini was amazing. Would definitely order again!

The host and the server asked us a couple of times if we were sure we wanted to sit outside since it was a bit chilly. But our minds were set and we were happy with our decision to sit outside; enjoying the fresh air and sunset views. And really it wasn't too bad at all with a light sweater on. The inside of the restaurant was rather warm which is perhaps why they thought it was so cold out on the back patio. Their cocktail list was classic and not overwhelming. I chose the Negroni. Dinner was the Mahi Po-Boy sandwich. Fish was cooked to perfection. Sandwich wasn't super fancy or overloaded with fillings. Just a light drizzle of cucumber aioli and a little coleslaw mixture. My only complaint is that the bread was a little too heavy or thick, it took away from the overall light flavor and texture of the fish. Perhaps something a little thinner would complement it more? Final thoughts: worth the view, relaxed environment, a step away from the busier main streets, feels more local and less touristy than the surrounding area.
