Echo prior reviews on location,views etc.Building itself is also very nice. Dells chic,shiny log cabin/knotty pine decor....Was there just before 3PM happy hour,and did not eat...Reviewed menu which was limited.It was bartenders first day...She was unfamiliar with happy hour drlnk specials,prices, and how to run the computer.Finally found out all beer taps were 50% off from 3-6...A GREAT deal!... Did encounter one of my pet peeves,that being computer would not allow her to ring happy hour beer price,or serve at happy hour price until 3:01!?..In spite of above, must give shout out to bartender [Jess], she was friendly and did her best in spite of inexperience, and curious lack of management on site... read more

Looks are very deceiving. Everything on the menu, including the nachos I ordered, is just crap from a box or a bag. The nachos were store bought nacho chips, with the liquid from a gas station nacho cheese. The salsa was not home made, but again crap from a jar. My wife ordered the fish fry, she was less disappointed than I was, but said it was only ok. read more

My wife and I came during the off season and sat in the outdoor patio area. With a view of the river and sunshine as well we were serviced by courteous and attentive staff. Meanwhile the food and libations were on par for a pub on this caliber read more

The only thing nice about our visit today was the bartender who huddled her tail off. WAY to little help. Salads were drowned in dressing. Burger mediocre at best. Pizza was probably the best thing at our table but the cost was CRAZY - $25 for a deluxe 12". I felt violated when I seen the bill. read more

The building and grounds are nice. If you want just to drink somewhere that looks nice, this is probably a good place. The food and service we received the other night, though, were terrible. The waiter forgot to put in one of our orders. The fries were cold. These oranges that came with the kids' meals were tasteless and slimy. My burger was just a meat patty and a bun. The food arrived well before the silverware and napkins. There are much better options around Wisconsin Dells for your money. read more

Terrible service. We waited 10 minutes at the front door waiting for a hostess to seat us, another 10 minutes waiting for waitress to take our order. After waiting 30+ minutes for our simple order of a hamburger and Cuban sandwich, we walked out. Don't waste your time here. read more

This place is fine! Chicken pesto sandwich was really good and staff was nice. No complaints on anything.

Went to the Wisconsin Dells this weekend with a large group and could not find a restaurant that we could all sit together until we got to the River Walk Pub. When you first walk in it looks like a nice bar but there are a lot of different levels inside and out for eating. They offered to seat our large group inside or out and since it was a nice day we wanted to sit outside. They sat all 12 of us outside by the river. Beautiful view and good food. The waitress did a great job considering there was so many of us. We ordered drinks and she brought them out right away and got them all right. Next came the appetizers which did not take very long and were very good. I had the fish sandwich with beer cheese soup and it looked and tasted good. We kept the waitress busy but she was always smiling and asking if we needed anything else. The entrees were all around $9 which was reasonable. This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend eating here when you visit the Wisconsin Dells. read more

Nice view. Had next to nothing on the menu. How about making a temporary menu if so many of your food and drink items are unavailable?

Stay for the view and the Spotted Cow brew...Waitress was friendly. Regular blah blah food.

I rate this bar bad due to the service. The food was excellent, but I couldn't even order a beer I liked because of the language barrier with our waitress. We had to tell the waitress we had not been waited on yet because we waited 15 minutes without even being greeted. read more

Amazing service!!!! Great staff great beer! I give two yelps up!!! Had an amazing waitress I recommend coming here and seeing the view!

The food was pretty good. Service was acceptable. My fiance, parents, and I ate in the basement--or what they called "lower level" dining. The steaks is a MUST! Steaks were done exactly how anyone would like. The mashed potatoes were good but the gravy was a bit salty. And the breadsticks were soft and warm. The salads were good but a bit bitter. The restaurant gives you a good selection of food but the website seemed to list more dishes that were not on the menu once dining in, which was weird. Over all, we'd probably be back. read more

We hosted a pre-wedding gathering at the River Walk Pub for our out of town guests, and were very pleased with the service and coordination. We rented out a private room, which was very affordable. The owners were extremely easy to work with, and our guests loved the atmosphere of the bar, with beautiful views to the river below. read more

Will not go here ever again! Service was slow and got our appetizers after we got our meals! Found two hairs in our food and they only discounted the appetizers! Do not recommend read more

Enjoyed dinner there tonight and sat outside in the porch overlooking the river. Our server was super friendly and the food was great. We ordered an enormous pretzel and cheese curds for apps. Both were delicious. read more

Amazing views, nice atmosphere but the service is very disappointing.

Only the best nachos and margaritas EVER! Seriously, that was my meal and that's all I needed.

Five starts for the view and outside seating. We all had a different salad and they were fine. I had the steak salad and it had some under-ripe avocado slices they should have left off, but there was loads of blue cheese which I love! There was a Long Island Ice Tea special for $3, and the Bloody Mary was just $5.50. Oh, tried our first cheese curds and they were good. A bit like mozzarella sticks. I'd give it more stars if we had tried anything more than salad. read more

Went to this place to celebrate sending me off to college & honestly it was a horrible experience. we will not be coming back. first of all, the waitress acted like we were an inconvenience to her or something. her name was melissa. i don't know if she was just tired or what but she was so rude to us. no expression on her face, did not politely answer questions we had about the menu since we had not been here before. horrible customer service. very disappointed. also ordered a giant pretzel & half of it was harder than a rock we hit it on the table and it cracked in half. do not go here. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Good food, but very few vegetarian options. One pizza came late but they gave us free fries to make up for it.

Great place to go for a drink and a patio view of the Wisconsin River. Food was O.K., but unexceptional but the River view is wonderful.

Horrible service, from the moment we entered the waitresses were rude. They forgot many things in our order, people didn't get food or drinks, and the manager did nothing to help take care of us read more

Stay away! 15 minute wait on first order of two beers... No A1 steak sauce left (ran out....?!), a party of 5 near us was also disappointed, as they were having steak as well. It's not a necessity but I don't have steak without A1. Then my food gets here, and I cut into my "medium" steak and it bleeds into my plate. I did the finger to thumb-pawn area test to see how bad it was, and my steak felt like a wet sponge. What was worse, is when I asked for whoever was in charge, they laughed when I pointed it out. I do NOT remember an experience as bad as this, ever! For 20 some bucks a steak, do yourself a favor and stay far away. Would rate zero if it was possible. read more

Stay away! Food is average, drinks are expensive, service horrible!!! They OVER-billed us. Two other couples noticed they were being overcharged as well. Bartender was indignant, but ran a new guest check. HOWEVER, they billed us TWICE - including the errant bill. Check your statements!!! read more

Ordered the steakhouse salad which said came with mixed greens. It arrived with iceburg lettuce. I asked server about it and checked with the kitchen. They said thats how its always served. For $16 I think not. Bait and switch. Fail! read more

Elk burgers are big! Breaded mushrooms and Caesar salad are good also. Wooded, homey, cabin-like feel. Outside seating on the deck with a view of the river. read more

I actually started a Yelp account just to review this restaurant. Please don't waste your time! There are so many wonderful places to go in the Dells and this certainly isn't one of them. Menu: EXTREMELY limited, we thought that perhaps the menu was so limited that the items that they do offer are just "that good" but we were sadly mistaken. I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was a mess and served on a bun that was so soggy that I think they may have dipped it in the river water that runs behind the place. Drinks: Decent if you don't mind waiting 15 minutes per drink but then again it is pretty difficult to screw up a malibu and pineapple. Staff: Our middle aged waitresss with the pony tail had to be one of the meanest people I have ever met and I've worked in bars and restraurants. Some of our favorite comments were: after seeing my husband's Chicago Bears shirt she said "Oh thank god, you're not from Wisconsin. These idiots don't know how to do anything around here". Then, our group had the audacity to split the check (really not THAT inconvienient with a POS system like they have) and she stood there and said "SERIOUSLY?? You're actually going to make me do that????". Awesome customer service. All in all, a real disappointment. read more

Came to watch the badger game and eat dinner. The bartender was horrible. She asked if e wanted cocktails. Two of us did and two didn't. The other two wanted did for the meal we would all eat at the bar to see the game. She got the drinks for the first two and ignored the other two! It took the supervisor coming over to get us served. Then we ordered the food. Not as advertised on the menu!! $15 for a couple slabs of meat on old bread with melted cheese and fries not cooked thru...definitely not corn bread with beef brisket, apparently they are confused. Wings...not bad. Italian beef sandwich...average. homemade potato chips...good. beautiful outside! Just don't really recommend eating. read more

We drove from Kansas for a short vacation, and decided to have a snack at the pub, bad idea. It was Saturday night and they were very short staffed. The girls (servers) were running around and the guys (servers) sauntered. I asked for boneless chicken wings, yes I said boneless chicken WINGS. I got chicken balls that were tough and room temperature...terrible! My husband had salad with chicken. Yes, he had 2 beers, but the food should have been appetizers NOT a main course. We left $50.00 less in his wallet, rip off!!!!!! The building was just beautiful, but we won't be back. We waited for 20-30 minutes for drinks, the same time for snacks. No stars for this restaurant. read more

Just finished our dinner at Riverwalk and it was perfect! We were worried after reading some other reviews but our food was delicious (burger, salad and fish nuggets), service was fast and friendly and the views were amazing. To top it all off even with our "splurge" of soda, 2 meals and an appetizer our bill was $28! Will definitely be back! read more

Came for lunch on 7/29/18 around 130pm and greeted by the hostess by being told they were not taking any more people and if and when they did it would be a 30 minute wait from when they took our order. The place was half empty. We sat at the bar and were informed that much of their staff called in or did not show that day. The bartenders and servers were very nice. One would think that the leadership/ownership team would implement a back up plan for in the middle of summer and your staff is short. The food took forever and it really took up more time than we wanted. Food was OK. Nothing great. I would not risk going her for more than a drink by the river in the future. read more

This was an absolute let down. I had seen very many good reviews and decided to try it out while on vacation. The food was pretty good, but customer service was terrible. Not only did we wait for over 40 minutes, but also we were conned into paying for side items we never ordered. When bringing it up the server said, "well you already paid for it so I just included it." We maybe saw the server every 30 minutes. If you enjoy the view I highly recommend, but as far as customer goes not too impressed. read more

Seated without menus...Waited 30 minutes for a server to even come to the table. Wrote down our own order. 40 minutes later. Still no food.

Food mediocre, views outside one of thw best in the Dells!! I recommended this place for thw views, not the food. Just basic bar food, but inexpensive so not so bad. read more

Awful customer service!!!! I order a sprite for my girlfriend. She brought us out me beer and a water right away. She started to drink the water thinking her soda was suppose to come but it never did. At the end when we were getting ready to go an later we had mentioned it to the server and she did nothing about it. She didn't offer to get us one and at the end she put it on my bill and told us we should have said something sooner then walked away. Very disappointed. Will not go back because of the awful service we experienced. read more

I am beyond shocked at such horrible ratings of The River Walk Pub!!! You couldn't find a better view with friendlier staff in all of the Dells. My husband and I had our wedding reception here in 2014 and couldn't have been happier. Staff was phenomenal, went above and beyond to accommodate us and were VERY AFFORDABLE! Great food, great location, great view!!! We stop by here every time we are in the Dells and you should too! read more

River Walk Pub - Pubs Near Me - Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

They have such a beautiful setting in the busy WI Dell's area unless you're on a boat. This is a family owned business not a chain or corporation I was told and it's amazing the way they take care in the food they prepare. It's not just frozen stuff out of a freezer. Pulled pork was excellent, handmade soup! It was a bit warm out but I had to try. They even made chili in to chili cheese fries for us. The menus online are not up to date and it seemed a bit overwhelmed with customers but everyone is sweet and gave us seating and drinks as soon as they had space. Wait time wasn't bad but if you work in restaurants it's understandable. No problem with enjoying the view and admiring the awesome building. So cool. We are going back next time we visit. It started to rain and our server ran out to move us inside. Hospitality is still alive and well in Wisconsin! read more

Do not bother with this place. We waited almost an hour for someone to take our order then one hour later we were still waiting for food. I can't rate the food because we never got it. read more

Don't Go Here. (Unless You Have To Use The Restroom) Not a friendly place to go. You are greeted at the door before you enter with, "Are you hear to use our restroom?" How rude, I don't feel you should have to disclose your restroom needs to gain entry. After making it past the restroom, we were able to make it to a table where we were ignored. It was 2:00 PM, the dining area and bar only had a few customers. Sorry I can't comment on food or drink, I left after 20 minutes of no service. The only service available seems to be their restroom. read more
