One star for creative effort. No stars for actual product. I ordered the distillery salad with pork on top. It wasn't even a full two cups of food. Salads should be three times the size of the one I got if they are going to charge $12!!! Holy cow was I disappointed. Three dollars for not even 1/4 cup of pulled pork? Not only was the food bad, but it took us almost a full hour to get our entrees, which I could make at home using one hand and still be done within 30 minutes. Our appetizer was boneless chunks of chicken that we dipped into sauces and that was the most impressive part of the whole experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone. They are basically just taking advantage of tourists and profiting from their high prices and pitifully small and unimpressive entrees. read more

Reading the menu outside I saw a whole section dedicated to tots & I was in! I ordered that Torta Tots with prime rib. The portion size was great & the topping were ok but the prime rib wasn't what I was expecting. The other person I was with for the pulled pork & the looked way better. read more

Only stopped by for a few drinks, but had a great experience. The bartender was super knowledgeable and let us try a few Tap Beers to see what we liked. They have some awesome homemade infused Liquors there, we tried the Berry Rum! Great stuff! Stop by for a Drink while you're in Downtown! read more

We came here for a quick drink and appetizers. Very disappointed all the onion rings were black they were so overdone. We asked for a new batch of onion rings, they came out the same... old grease. The rest of the food was bland but they do have all the tots!! read more

Ordered two burgers and cheese curds for take out. I ordered the Wisconsin burger without mushrooms but it came loaded with mushrooms. The distillery burgers sauce was not good at all and both burgers were extremely dry. The cheese curds were okay at best but definitely not worth $9 read more

Wife and I ate their yesterday she ordered the philly cheese steak sandwich and she loved it, I had a bite of hers and have to agree it was delish. I ordered the Buffalo chicken tator tots, the entree isn't exactly what I pictured from the description I read. It was basically a bed of undercooked tots with a small amount of chicken on top of it and covered with buffalo sauce. I attempted to get a fork full of both chicken and tots at the same time...it wasn't happening due to how mushy tots were. I ended up eating the chicken which was maybe 3 ounces at best and then tried of few of the tots...tator tots covered with buffalo sauce is gross. Our waitress asked how my meal was and I said "meh it was OK" she could tell by my tone it was bad. I got 10% off our bill. My recommendation would steer away from their weird Tator tot dishes and order a sandwich. read more

Cute place, nice ambience Food reasonably priced Flavorful food Pork and chicken were very nice read more

Our family only ended up eating here because the High Rock Cafe was too long a wait, but at the end of our vacation we asked for everyone's list of favorite restaurants and this topped several. Our 13-year-old had the Cajun Shrimp Tots and raved about it. The burgers and Whiskey Prime Rib were popular too. On the con side, the a la carte thing added up and one kid was really bummed there weren't fries. Service was a bit rough, but our server was new. We'd definitely go back. read more

This is the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. Me and my friends waited 1.5 hours for cold food. Every single item. Then the manager blamed it on a small grill and getting busy. But when we left, the place was pretty much dead. Felt bad for the server because it didn't seem like it was his fault. One star for him because he checked up on us multiple times to make sure we were set with drinks. But the food was unedible. read more

Convenient if you need a cheap dinner downtown, but nothing about it really stands out. Claims to be family friendly, but the kids menu only had 3 items. The service was ok if a little surly and the atmosphere seemed more than a little forced. Tiny outdoor balcony was inconvenient to get to and not well furnished. I'm not sure where the name of the establishment comes from, as they do not produce any of their own beer or spirits. read more

Overall if is a nice restaurant. It is clean and the atmosphere is comfortable. Good selection of drinks. We liked that the kitchen is open so you can see what the cook is doing with the food. My first drink was a Sprite and Absolut. Extremely weak and my husband's first drink was their house whiskey and Coke which was also weak. He ordered pints after which were quite good he said. I order straight shots of chilled Absolut. Also good. The food came out very quickly which was good. The cole slaw--YUM!! The tots are your typical fried tots but still good. The Cowboy Caviar was not good. Black beans, corn and tomatoes basically. Husband got the Meat Lovers Tots. Very good he said but could use a meat that isn't just pork on the tots. The waiter was a bit slow coming back to ask us if we needed anything and wasn't super personable but he got better as the evening went on. Maybe it was the drinks kicking in. Overall a nice place and we would return. read more

My family and I were excited, heading into our meal here today, because the outside looks great and there were signs promising a family-friendly environment...and then we were so disappointed! The place wasn't nearly as charming as the outside hinted at, and the kids' menu had just three choices on it. My husband and I ordered burgers and both came on an odd ciabatta roll that didn't match the sandwich. His was also topped with a gooey cheese sauce that wasn't mentioned in the description. The service wasn't good or bad, and the experience overall was underwhelming and seemed overpriced for what we got :( read more

We stopped in here for lunch while walking downtown and the food was outstanding. Tater tot heaven ;-). I had a great pulled chicken sandwich and my wife had amazing "tachos" and the kids loved their buffalo chicken tots. What was surprisingly amazing was the s'mores tots for dessert. Not sure if it was an option or not but a scoop of vanilla ice cream with it would have made it even better. Great service. Clean. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in this weekend while in town for a concert. I got the Wisconsin burger and he got he jalapeño burger, both were very good and cooked to our request. Burgers were great and not greasy, service was fast and friendly. read more

Went here for the Clemson and louisville game Saturday night with a group of friends who were largely minority and homosexual. I myself had the hamburger tots as the group tried other various items on the menu. The food was decent. I must say this is probably the worst I had ever felt dining at any restaurant ever with my friends. Our waiter looked so disgusted by us that i thought we smelt like shit. She were sarcastic and was rude for no reason. She even felt the need to show her disapproval of us by scolding at us from the bar. She even swapped tables mid order so she wouldn't deal with us, as if we were beneath her to serve. She wasn't even trying to hide it. The waitress was either a racist or a bigot. It was the manager who were the one that finished serving us. That was a horrible experience. We couldn't get away from the place fast enough. I didn't even finish the first quarter of the game. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone Tell them to keep their tots. read more

Great atmosphere Decent prices on drinks Their ginger infused brandy was delicious! My boyfriend like the vodka. Got a bit crowded and loud on a Saturday night but the staff was still very attentive to our needs. read more

I went here with my family while on a trip to the dells. While the service was good, I would recommend against going here for food. I ordered the distillery salad, thinking that because it was named after the restaurant, it should be good. I was extremely disappointed. It was a salad consisting only of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and guacamole. Yes, guacamole. My lettuce was not cut at all resulting in two large (and inedible) hunks on my plate. My mother ordered a burger, which she rated as a 3/5. The fried food is better, but their tater tots are not that good considering it is their signature dish. Only come here if you are planning on drinking and not eating. There are so many better options available. read more

Cheeseburger tots-good. Fried pickles-good. Nothing was bad but also nothing exceptional.

Amazing experience and amazing staff !! The tots are my favorite and we stop once a week just for a loaded philly tot

Fried Buffalo Shrimp is tasty, and they have great specials for drinks on Sundays (make sure you ask bc they don't really tell you when you first walk in). The signature drinks are good, but the atmosphere could use a little more "care" when it comes to preserving the place and what they actually want it to stand for. If you're going for a "distillery / eatery" then announce that and treat your guests as such while they are there. Right now it seems like your bartenders & hostesses are more willing to push a typical Miller Lite / our food is sub-par experience and don't really care about your food at all. We were here 3 different times on 3 different occasions.. so I'm pretty positive w shot the run of this spot. read more

Delicious food. Had cheese curds for the first time and putting them on a burger is just genius. The bartender was extremely attentive made excellent drinks and shots. read more

We had here during a work conference during the off-season. They had very good food, but the service could you some work. Tots!!!

Awful experience. Waited over an hour just to get cold food and my burger was extremely pink and undercooked. I believe if I ate it I'd have food poisoning for sure. We had to ask for chips as they didn't take the initiative to make up for the extremely long wait. The place wasn't even busy. Nobody at our table liked their food, it was clearly sitting out for awhile. I got a burger with a fried egg and cheese curds on it and both were really cold. The manager came out and while she attempted to be nice and apologize, she came across as agitated with our complaints and very unsincere and we basically had to beg for the meal to be comped as no one wanted to eat it. We didn't feel wanted there at all as tourists. Save your money and time and go to Culvers, or Taco Bell even for that matter, yikes! read more

Terrible service. Waited over 20 minutes to pay our bill, bartender was drunk at 4:30 in the afternoon and when we asked for change, he rang up our drinks twice! Kept pushing the shot special when we refused more than once. Will never go there again! read more

We stopped in for an early dinner and that was the worst decision of our trip! COMPLETELY over priced. I just paid 80 bucks for four people to eat poorly made burgers. To pour salt into the wound their overpriced burgers didn't even come with a side. I have never written a bad yelp review because I know consumers depend on these reviews. My advice? RUN! I am so pissed! Completely ruined our experience at the Dells! read more

excellent service and great food! I don't even like tator tots but the many different styles sounded wonderful and the torta tots ( tots topped with guacamole, cheese,sourcream, pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, and prime rib) were delicious. read more

The deputy was delicious but way over priced.. Food was terrible. I ordered a chicken salad, lettuce was brown almost no veggies. The chicken was dark meat shredded chicken with some strange spice. It was plopped on top and not drained so it was like salad soup. I couldn't eat more than one bite. Husband had Wisconsin burger it was okay typical frozen burger and honestly the quarter pounder at McDonalds is a better option. He had tater tots on the side, hard to mess these up, I ate the majority since the salad was inedible. Even those were not done fully. Very disappointed. Weiss to visit this space often when it was Monks... Bring back downtown Monks! read more

The liquor they make and sell is pricey, although it's decent, the prices are not. $40 for a bottle of 1 year whiskey, plus the cook or whoever you see when you first walk in is a big snob. He should be making customers feel welcome and not chiding them on their drink preferences if he wants them to buy something. Won't be buying anything from this place. read more

This was a great alternative to the too-crowded Monk's next door. The cheesy burger with curds was good but could have used a little something extra, maybe bacon or barbecue sauce. Overall decent place to grab lunch with friendly service and plenty of tables. read more

Decor's excellent, historic and well done! Our server was wonderful, truly but management needs to train servers to "smile, say idk and go grab another employee who can make recommendations" Food hot/fresh: burger, prime rib (sandwich) [a/k/a cheese steak], cheese curds & tots Drinks fabulous: Moscow mule, Mojito. read more

Worst food I have had in years. Although I am from Chicago and am privileged to have dined at fabulous restaurants all the time, I came in knowing this would be Dells bar food. I ordered the grilled entree salad trying to be healthy. When I got the salad it was a hunk of romaine lettuce cut in half & with brown wilted leaves. The "toppings" were onions and cut up tomato drizzled with some odd colored dressing. Trying not to be picky I bit into and had to immediately spit it out because it tasted like lettuce that had been left in the sun to rot. I called the manager over asking if I could switch my order, and he was very rude. He responded with "you realize it's a grilled salad don't you? Did you not read what you ordered?" Needless to say awful service and whomever created the idea of placing romaine lettuce on a grill did not think that idea through. read more

Walked in there and had to stare at the bartender to be told to seat ourselves. Sat down in the back (the only clean high top) and watched a waitress huff and puff towards customers for 15 minutes. No one helped us or said a word so we left. Byeee .....oh and then we were told thank you on our way out read more

Terrible experience. The waiter was extremely rude to us. He scoffed at our drink selections and even went so far as to belittle our designated driver for only drinking water. The bartender overrode our jukebox selections despite the fact that we payed for them, and only selected appropriate songs. The restrooms were gross and poorly maintained. Despite the name, this is not actually a distillery. One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar, avoid at all costs. read more

The Distillery has a nice curb appeal and the inside looks promising. The service was decent. The drinks were not what the menu envisioned. My GF ordered a signature drink and all we could taste was bitters. The nachos were two dimensional and needed more diversity. It was just chips, meat, a little cheese and a couple veggies. This place acted new so it may evolve into something better but; for now, there are better places. read more

it took them an hour and 15 minutes to get our food, on top of that nearly all of it came out cold. our waitress was not apologetic at all and the manager was a total jerk about it. he refused to remove the cold food items from our bill. I would recommend taking your money and precious time elsewhere. More annoying than their bad service, they kept serving this extremely loud drunk lady alcohol who repeatedly fell off her stool... read more

Went in and wanted to sit on the patio. They said sit wherever so we wanted to be outside. Went up to the patio and sat and waited 10 minutes. One of the people from our party went downstairs and found a server and she said she would be right up. We then waited another 10 mins. She came out and didn't even know what beers they had on tap. We started to order and we informed her we were there just for cocktails. Her response was "well it would just be easier if you went down and sat at the bar" what!?!? Omg never in my life have I had anyone treat a customer like that. We decided to leave. Main point, no customer service. read more

Let me start by saying that until our last trip to Dells Distillery, we LOVED the place. However, this was the first time we actually dined here. I had the Torta Tots, which lacked flavor, came with guacamole paste, pico, cheese sauce and their "famous" pulled pork which was dry and flavorless. My father had the buffalo chicken tots, which came with one chicken strip cut up into four pieces and smothered in sauce. None of the other dishes in our party were anything to brag about either. On top of the terrible food, their "dining" area is just steps from the bar. This would typically be fine, but there was a group of about 8 women stomping around "dancing," screaming the lyrics to horrible songs they were choosing on the juke box and stumbling over drunk. Did I mention it was only 6:00 p.m.? Our table actually had a conversation with the table next to us about why there is an entire upstairs dining area that they don't EVER open up, even when there is a rowdy crowd at the bar. To make a bad situation horrible, I ended up with horrible food poisoning just a few hours after we left. I love this bar for summer nightlife in the Dells, but I will NEVER EVER recommend it as an eatery to anyone I know. EVER. Just don't go! read more

You have to check this place out. Awesome food and drinks! Try the tots and home brewed whiskey!! This is a local gem.

2nd time coming here, once a year ago, nothing has changed. They have one beer worth drinking. The food is horrible. Pork torta was freezing, and the pork was gray. The bread, cold and right out of the bag - did nothing with it. What's with crappy Wisconsin food, all the beef and pork up here is grey. The food, tasteless, had to ask for bbq sauce to make it edible. The mac and cheese - kraft. Literally kraft mac and cheese. They may have added some cheap cheese sauce but we know what it is. Portions small. Known for their tatter tots, really? They're like all other frozen tots from anywhere else. Should have waited the 20 min for the table at Monks. The one beer was good, they sat us right away, actually we sat our selves but there was room and the waitress was nice. read more
