    a large group of people at a party
    Angela P.

    If you want a night out dancing and affordable drinks this is the place to go. So be careful Dells bars in general tend to over pour.... They don't have Bombay which was a negative personally. We had a great time here dancing and hanging out

    Great beers, good service, and good food. Prices were better than the mexican place next door. Dont get that dark beer, almost got sick. Stick to the Octoberfest.

    Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Band

    Finally made it to Steak Night (Wednesday) at the Showboat. I was a tad skeptical of ordering a steak here, I've only ever ordered wings, curds, pizza, etc., but I had heard so many friends tell me how good it is so I wanted to give it a try. They have a choice of sirloin or ribeye, I went with the ribeye done medium-rare. It came out perfectly. I am one of those people who has to interview the order taker to find out before ordering what med-rare means to the chef. Big enough potion to take almost half home. Also comes with choice of potato, broccolini, bun and butter. After the steak, we stayed for Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, an excellent bluegrass band - banjo, fiddle, standup fiddle, guitar. Definitely will be back for both the steak and the band!

    Pretzel bites

    The show boat salon was our stop on Saturday around lunch time. Great dive bar on the Wisconsin dells downtown. We all got drinks and were served in a timely fashion. We wanted just a little snack to hold us off for awhile, so we ordered a few apps. We ordered pretzel bits, spicy pickle fries, and spinach and artichoke dip. The cheese that came with the pretzels was the biggest hit! It tasted so good I could put it on almost anything. The pickles were my second favorite looking identical to regular fries, something I haven't seen before. I didn't try the spin dip but was assured by the others that it was a good choice as well!

    Mild Wings + Pizza
    K S.

    Their tap was AMAAZING. The perfect spot to munch and have a good beer. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. We tried their wings and pizza and both are very recommended. I'll be coming back.

    It was really cool. Cool stage and money on the pillars. The half priced drinks were a great deal this is what I would recommend.

    Are people under the age of 21 allowed all night?

    No, after ten, I think, under 21 is turned away.

    Best selection of craft beer by far of any bar in the Dells, and at insanely reasonable prices.

    Jimmy Johns is our family "safe place", we know everyone will eat it, it will be fine, quick,…read morewhatever. We stopped in on Labor Day weekend and they were busy but everything came out quickly and most importantly correct! Thanks JJ!

    This is for the Store location nearest Kalahari water park. This map indicates another location…read more I (first) wrote this the day of the visit, I think it actually was Labor Day weekend 2020 Moderators felt my overly detailed description was somehow inaccurate. Today I'm re writing this. I first wrote an overly detailed narrative. I deleted it because it was too inclusive, and still failed to express the reason I wrote a poor review about a sand which vendor I otherwise have stellar memories of more often than not. That particular day was terrible. I'll state simply that the three workers were not Jimmy John's quality personnel I'd hope to ever run across in the future. Having the baby carrier was sort of an issue. They are an irritating fact of life, so bringing the kid I imagine sometime just has to be done. But it appeared this kid was the offspring of two of these workers and their bickering was evident. Slow. I'll simply state that 6 sandwiches should take 10-15 minutes. Tops. My purchase was nothing special regarding extras or complications. Aside from NO CONDIMENTS were specifically noted, at time of ordering. Extra lettuce on mine. We ordered full meals for them all and the total came in excess of $60. Seems a bit steep when given thought. Seems certainly much steeper when i returned to Devils Lake, 20 minute drive back, to find that MY sandwich was w/o extra lettuce AND NO MAYO/Mustard, and the plain turkey and cheese which were explicitly stated to be DRY, only Turkey and provolone. Being guilted by the computer, when paying with card, to add a tip, this so totally pisses me off. In a restaurant, waiters etc work FOR tips, paid minimum wage. They deserve tips and I pay them rarely less than 20%, unless the server is rock bottom. Fast food pays vastly more, and don't deserve tips. Yet I tipped these worthless overpaid impolite and quite apparently incompetent workers to do a terrible job. And as I carried my stuff out, I wasn't even offered a suitable bag. I literally had to get a grocery bag from my car, and make extra trips to carry 6 large sodas out. No cup carriers. This is WHY this location is the bottom of the Jimmy John's Corporate toilet in my view. Zero stars isn't an option. I hope this doesn't get flagged as being inaccurate or whatever was the reason my first writing was recently brought to my attention when the moderators opted to tell me I couldn't have received the terrible service I originally described. This time I hit the more important details I'd neglected previously. I'm a Yelp elite. For going on five years. I wrote too much, certainly. But I don't waste or mumble my words.
