Tasting was done professionally and they were quite tasty. We bought a bottle to take home. Recommend this place.

Driftless Glen is a family favorite restaurant, bar, and distillery. We love the food and always safe room for dessert. The lemon drop martini is my favorite and I bought the drink kit to make them at home. Great atmosphere, fabulous dinner and dessert options, and dynamite drinks. read more

Went for lunch during the first week of July. Had been meaning to try this place since they opened. Glad we finally did! The Bourbon BBQ burger was the best burger I've had in who knows how long. And the side I chose to go with it was amazing as well (Cheesy Butternut Orzo). Endless drink options and all delicious. Also bought a cute and comfy sweatshirt. read more

One of our favorite places to visit when camping in Baraboo. The riverside seating is wonderful and the food has always been spectacular, however the drinks are very creative and very tasty. We've always experienced great service from the staff anytime we've visited. read more

I did a tour and had lunch after the tour. The tour was awesome and very informing on the process of how they made their spirits. The tour guide Benjamin was very friendly and very welcoming. During the tasting? I was happy I got to try their wide array of spirits. I purchased a bottle to take home with me. For lunch I order a Caesar Salad and the Vodka sauce and meatball pasta. It was worth the wait. I could it was made fresh, made to order, and made from scratch. It was the best Italian dish I've ever had. I will be back during my cross country travels! read more

Wow!! The drinks here are incredible. I am not much of a dark liquor person and stick to clear liquors, for reference. My absolute favorite was "Weekend Vibes" die to its beautifully fresh, effortless, summer taste. My friend was a bourbon drinker, not overly impressed, but we still both left with a bottle. THE FOOD IS NO JOKE. I had the BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Asian Coleslaw and was not disappointed. Perfection. I practically inhaled my food, I couldn't put my sandwich down. I live in Milwaukee, but you bet I'm dragging anyone I can out here to share the love. This place is worth it x10. Can't wait to drive out for another visit. read more

The drinks were exceptional. The food was just ok. My burger was charred on the outside, but raw in the middle. Desserts were very tasty. Service was good, but obviously over extended. I'd try it again hoping for a little more consistently. read more

Driftless Glen Distillery is everything I could ask for in a destination restaurant. Decor and atmosphere is on point. Service was quick and extremely friendly. Food quality and quantity was fantastic. There is a really good view of the water (big windows). They have a lot of balsamic and oil combos, make sure you try them! Flatbreads are good. Bloody Mary's are good. Italian Beef sandwich's are good. I can't think of anything I'd change. Unreal! read more

First time to Driftless Glen Distillery for dinner this evening and what a great experience. We made a reservation for 7, got seated on time with no wait. The hostess and server were attentive and gave my wife and I space as well. Kameron, our server, was pleasant, efficient, and helpful. I had the large filet, and my wife had the veggie pasta. Both were excellent. One surprise was the lobster bisque... more of a tomato base and had some heat. Delicious. With a piece of bourbon carmelized cheesecake to go we have one last piece of goodness! Recommended! read more

Sorry Cara for misnaming our waitress a few weeks ago. You were great then, and equally great today. We'll be back the next time we visit my old hometown. Love Driftless Glen, and especially their employees. read more

Disappointing. First, no wine available. The place is very noisy, like a cement, warehouse. The food was often unnecessarily, and bizarrely, seasoned. Oaked margaritas? Rolls with unidentified seasoning. Give me a break. Nice view on the river, though, if warm enough to eat outside. Won't return. read more

If you find yourself in Baraboo, this is a must stop!!! After hiking Devil's lake we were just planning a quick look...we ended up staying for a drink (delicious gin and tonic), a tour along with tasting at the end, and dinner! The customer service we experienced was stellar; we received a warm greeting upon entering, our tour guide was engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable, and our waitress was incredibly attentive. Will definitely be coming back and bringing along others! read more

The food is consistently good as are the drinks with good service. Absolutely worth the drive from Madison every time.

Great place for lunch on a warm day. Good food, nice service and comfortable scenic patio.

We came here on a Wednesday evening. We got a table right away. Staff was great. It was me, my husband, and our 9 year old daughter. I ordered the salmon dinner, my husband had a pasta meal, and our daughter got the cheeseburger kid's meal. I love that the kid's meal came with a fruit cup instead of french fries. I think they get their fruit fresh from the Farmer's Market, because it was amazing. So fresh! I ate the fruit my daughter didn't want, which was just the raspberries and blackberries. We sat in the back dining room that looked to be recently added on/remodeled. You could see the train cars from the circus. I grew up in Janesville and remember that train coming through many times. The bathrooms were clean and well lit. We bought a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of cranberry vodka. I cannot wait to come back here again. Hopefully it'll be a better day and we can sit out on the patio. It had been raining all day when we visited and sitting outdoors was not an option. read more

Sat outside. Great service, great cocktails and food. I asked to have an appetizer adapted to be low carb with extra meat and veggies. That didn't happen. Wasn't pleased with my meal. But my companion's meal seemed wonderful. Would have gotten 5 stars if the kitchen was a little more accommodating to custom orders for people with diet restrictions. read more

Our first time visiting. The ahi tuna pinta (pizza) was so delicious I'm going to go back just to have it again. The perfect combo of flavors and textures. After having it I don't think I'm ever going to try anything else here. The bread pudding looked delicious, but I was too full from the pizza. The location is great. Outside seating on the river was lovely. read more

If you're on the fence about checking this place out, please do it! I was extremely satisfied with my experience at Driftless Glenn. The wis-con-gin martini was probably the best martini that I've had in my life. For dinner I had the jambalaya which was really good and for dessert, I had the creme brûlée which I loved. The restaurant felt like a great place to spend a Saturday night out. The service was excellent, and the views of the river are stunning. After our meal, we visited the small gift shop they had in the restaurant and bought some cool gear that they were selling. The manager gave us two complimentary shot glasses and two vouchers for a free tour of the distillery. Whenever I visit a restaurant for the first time, I'm always skeptical but Driftless Glenn exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back again! read more

I came here for dinner during my bachelorette party and I cannot emphasize how amazing our experience here was. Not only was service, food and the atmosphere excellent the manager really went our to his way to make our it one of a kind. There was a large group of 9 of us. We made reservations earlier that day for a late dinner. They were more than accommodating with this. When we got there they could tell it was a special occasion and asked us what it was for. Once they found out the manager came out and greeted us as well as bringing some complimentary lemon drop shots...yummy! They make many liquors in house so there drinks are lovely and complex. The drink menu is quite expansive so there is something for everyone. The food menu was also very good with pasta, salads, burgers and flatbread. Everyone was very satisfied with there food. Many of the menu items incorporated there liquors into them. At the end of dinner they asked if we wanted to see the barrel room. This was a huge building with barrels of liquor as far as the eye could see. We were able to get some very cool group photos in here. Overall this was a very memorable experience. Next time I am in the area I will be back! read more

The bar tenders were very nice and the food was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this place

This place was a amazing! First visit was an impromptu birthday dinner in April. Sat at the bar and had an amazing meal and great conversation. Everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

They've been open for a month now. Beautiful spot on the Baraboo River. This will be nice spot in the summer to sit on their deck and grab a drink and some apps. We went for Mother's Day brunch. I like their brunch menu...reminds me of how the Ambassador Hotel in Milwaukee does brunch. Brunch is $20, small plates concept with a menu of several different breakfast items. You can choose one of everything if you want. I would recommend ordering 2 items at a time. I started with the bacon and asparagus Benedict and side of sliced beef (The beef was only for Mother's Day). The asparagus and poached egg were cooked perfectly, not overdone. They use neuske's bacon. The beef had great flavor. My 2nd round I tried the seafood frittata and the Wildberry crepe. Delicious! They have a great drink menu and this being brunch, I had to have a Bloody Mary. You can choose from their regular vodka, lemon or cucumber. Tried the cucumber vodka for my bloody and really hit the spot. Great and attentive service also. Nice to see a more upscale dining experience in Baraboo. read more

Highly recommend a trip to Driftless. Had the bourbon burger and it was a really great burger. Hubby had the lobster roll and he thought it was very good for not being on the east coast. The drinks were great and the service was also attentive and helpful. Lots of items to purchase in the gift area and taking a look at the barrel storage was pretty cool. We will be back! read more

The food was amazing! The chefs choice sirloin, garlic potatoes and broccolini was the best I've had in years. My husband and I split the Carmel cheesecake and it was lick the plate worthy. . We came for a tour and stayed for the food. So glad we did. Our server was a genuine sweetheart and the atmosphere was easy going. We will plan on coming back in the future. read more

Visiting from out of town and wanted to try something local and different, Driftless Glen was everything we were looking for. The food was on point and the drinks were perfect-o!!! Wish we had come earlier in the day to enjoy more of the view of the river. read more

Driftless Glen Restaurant - Walleye was great. Very flavorful. - New American Near Me - Baraboo, Wisconsin

Returned to try again - much better but they still appear to be understaffed, which seems common as we're coming out of the whole Covid mess. Craft cocktails were excellent, food very good. Odd rules about timing of specific meals and appetizers- server said they were limited due to kitchen size. This place is large - seems odd that they scrimped on kitchen size. Would and will return. read more

Sweet location. Beautiful facility. Attentive staff. Overpriced gift shop. Full menu but a bit on the pricey side for what you get. The salmon burger was yummy. The bbq bacon burger was a disappointment - although it did have a lot of good toppings. The side Asian slaw and pasta salad needed more flavor and the pickle spear had no taste at all. The cocktail menu (average price $9) was interesting. This would be a beautiful place for appetizers and a few drinks with friends. Not for a lunch or dinner as the portion sizes were quite small. read more

Scheduled a distillery tour on a Friday afternoon. For was very informative. Tasting afterwards was great. Got to try some bourbon and an amazing gin (with a bourbon twist). Stayed to have some drinks and appetizers. Was not disappointed one bit. Food was good; drinks were exceptional. The hidden gem is the flavors of balsamic vinegars they have. We had a great time. read more

Boston was a great bartender really knows his stuff. Old fashion made with Wisconsin rye whiskey??? Whaaaaattt? Appetizers are tasty and a good value. Very comfortable atmosphere. Cajun flatbread was excellent. We will be back often. read more

Perfect! Great location on the river, up scale, trendy, and open design. We had dinner on the terrace overlooking the Baraboo River. What's not to love? The drink menu was large and interesting, and the drink choices we made did not disappoint. The maple old fashioned with a slice of bacon in it - unusual and very good. The menu was large enough for variety, and honestly there was nothing on it that didn't look like it would be delicious. We had the quesadilla for the appetizer, and it was probably one of the larger appetizers that I've had in a restaurant. Then we also tried the jambalaya and the Thai pasta for our entrees. Absolutely delicious. We ran out of time and couldn't try the dessert menu, but we need to come back to try the bourbon bread pudding! This restaurant is a keeper! Worth the hour and a half drive from our home. read more

Went on a post Devils Lake hike. Service was great, drinks were great, food was great. Had a lobster roll and the cheesy orzo salad. Lobster roll was not mayo based but what appeared just to be butter poached lobster chunks... delish! Husband had a pot roast which he enjoyed. We also had maple bourbon old fashioned and some gin drink, both were boozy and tasted great. Only con is they stop serving lunch at 3 so had to hustle to get their after our hike. read more

We were excited to go back to the Distillery last week to enjoy the food, drinks and location. However, once we arrived we were VERY disappointed to see that there was not a single face mask in sight. Sadly we can't risk being infected and will therefore be postponing our next visit for some time. Other than the glaring lack of public health policy everything at the the distillery was terrific! If you are looking for an alternative, the Balanced Rock Winery staff wear masks. read more

We stopped by for a tour and dinner afterwards. Robert was great as our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a friendly guy. Dinner was great. I just had the soup of the day and a side salad, but it was delicious. The husband had the bourbon glazed pork chops and he really liked them. Dessert was their bourbon bread pudding and that was very good as well. Will definitely be back and have already recommended them to friends. read more

The bourbon bbq steak burger was delicious. Thick cut maple bacon was crispy. Accompanied with lobster bisque was perfect. Bloody Mary special at just $6 made with choice of vodka. Mine was cucumber. Great choice. Next up the tour! read more

What a wonderful surprise! Great service, with an nice balance of offerings on the menu. My wife and I are whiskey lovers so stopped in for a late lunch. We were given a table outside by the river. It was a very pleasant atmosphere. Our server was engaging, informative and professional. She put together a tasting of their whiskey which was not on their menu. She was very knowledgeable walking through the differences. The entrees were nicely presented, great balance of flavors. We were not expecting this level of service and food. It was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommend Their menu selection read more

Beautiful restaurant, great staff, drinks were all lovely. Servers were all so nice and helpful and made sure we were taken care of!!

There's not much I can say bad about this place. They get it. We've been there many times. They do great cocktails and great food. I've had many items from their menu and have yet to be disappointed. All of their flatbreads are delicious. The Cesar salad is nice, not a heavy dressing at all. Wonderful spirits, vodka is smooooth. Highly recommended. read more

We had dinner on Friday night. I had the roasted vegetables with pasta. It was overly peppery and had a funny aftertaste. Maybe too much lemon, although it did not list lemon or spicy in the description. The jambalaya was fine but not special. It was noisy and the fly problem almost drove us out before we could order. We were near a window which had dead flies on it. We were bombarded by at least 4 more flies while we ate. Kind of disgusting. I go out to a restaurant to eat food that is better than I can make at home. My cooking is better. It will be a long time before we go back. It is fine if you want to try lots of booze but don't go for the food. read more
