We came in relatively late on a Monday, as a party of 4. We were greeted and seated immediately-…read moreservice was very good & staff was bilingual, easily switching between English and Spanish. 2 specialty beers, a fountain drink, an order of pretzel braids, Gouda Burger, wrap with upgrade to tots came to about $80 after tip. Averaging $20pp with splitting meals and 3 drinks, 1 water. The rather standard pretzel came with 3 dips- the jalapeño cream cheese easily being the favorite, followed by mustard & no interest in the nachos cheese one from anyone. The burger (& wrap) came with battered fries that are quite tasty & were used to finish off the pretzels dips - my preference would be the fries over the tots (the wrap order upgraded to). Now, the star... the burger was thick and juicy with a bun that handled it well. Yoppings were fresh - we paid extra (not much) to get the works on the burger & asked for a side of mayo for the fries. This worked well for the 2 of us to split. The gal was thoughtful enough to bring extra plates & utensils for splitting. I would stop here again en route or if staying in the area. Yes, even if not drinking.

A Master Class in How to Lose Regular Customers…read more We've eaten here four times. Until now it was always fine -- not great, not terrible -- but usually saved by really good servers. This last visit? Not so much. Our server vanished almost immediately (except for one heroic soda refill). Meals were dropped by a runner and we were never checked on again -- despite the restaurant being nearly empty on a frigid Friday with more staff than customers, we still couldn't seem to get helped. I eventually had to go find the manager. In a place this slow, he could have easily gone table to table. He did not. My friend's chicken sandwich was inedible: gnarly, tendon-heavy, and made incorrectly after requesting almost everything removed (none of it was removed). My institutional burger and fries were a snore. They offered to remake my friend's meal to go. Out came... just a burger. No fries. No sides. Just vibes. Finding the manager on the way out and bringing up our issues: multiple disappearances, an attempted discount after she'd already paid cash, and finally a handful of dollar bills shoved into her hand with "I took care of it." He never really asked to resolve my complaints but at least I had something to eat. Final thoughts: * Food: increasingly mediocre * Service: vanished * Management: improvisational * Fries: missing in action The only reason we kept coming back was good servers. This time we had neither. We won't be returning.

The food was actually quite good. I have the chicken bacon wrap and family have the gyro which I…read morehighly recommend. The homemade chips were really good. Fries were cold and bland but I think if they would have been fresh they would have been better. Overall if you're in the area and looking for a quick meal off the main drag of the dells to get away from crowds it's a good choice. Drink prices are very reasonable as well.

We had some special appetizer - corn elote dip and chips. We weren't very impressed with that either. My boyfriend said it feels like something they just took out of the microwave and needs more flavor. They gave us paper/styrofoam plates. I guess I would have preferred plastic over that. The plates wanted to blow away every time the wind blew through. And it just felt cheap, and wasteful. It is a nice place to enjoy the view of people walking by and have a beer. But I was not impressed with the food.

I have been here at least 8 times with a super senior who uses a cane and has a hearing impairment and several other times with the super senior and other friends or relatives. We usually come on a weekday in the afternoon or early evening when it is not very busy. The staff have always been kind and patient with taking our order and regularly checking on us. I like that the booth area on the main level is uncluttered and does not require steps to access. This makes getting to the booth easier for those with any mobility challenges and it makes it a bit quieter and easier to hear for those with hearing challenges. They have a decent size menu plus great daily specials. When we bring friends or family who can help us eat an appetizer, we always order the cheese curds which taste fresh, hot and not oily. If we don't find a Daily Special that suits us, we usually go for their Fish and Chips, Friday Fish Fry, or Mushroom Burger. They have a wide variety of sides to choose from but our typical go-to sides are the Loaded Mashed Potatoes or Chef's Vegetables. We have enjoyed everything we ordered there.

A group of six of us walked in, sat ourself, and I asked a bartender if the kitchen was open. There were two guys behind the bar. They looked at each other and gave a nod. The younger guy said yes, but we are out of the fish fry. No problem for us. We were served by the younger guy and he was friendly, attentive, and didn't treat us as second class as most of our group took water while I had a couple beers. It was pretty quiet when we arrived. We tried a couple apps, and a few different burgers and fried shrimp. Having read about the steak burger, we had high expectations but it fell a bit flat. Others mentioned a sauce, but there wasn't any in ours. The burger with bacon and jalapeño was a banger though! Onion rings and fries were excellent. The curds were good, but I've had better. When it came time to close the check, our server met me as I jumped off my stool. I don't know his name, but gave him a 25% tip. Wish he worked at my place! For the Dells, the price is very reasonable in my opinion. As we were leaving things were lighting up, and getting loud. I got the impression the kitchen was closing even though they say they are open late as the older guy was grumbling about only having two people working. As an owner of a cocktail bar I get that things happen, but I don't like my employees getting upset about it. The younger guy kept his cool - even if he was hoping for more. I do plan to go back for another service and ask about the sauce on the steak burger. Felt weird to talk about it before getting it the way I assume they serve it. Our son is staying for grad school so we have an excuse to try again!

My best friend and I are up here for a spontaneous spring break trip. She's celliac, so it's important for us to find restaurants that take gluten allergies seriously and offer alternative options. Right off the bat when we asked about gluten buns, the staff were willing to ask questions about the proposed allergy and helped us find items on the menu to avoid cross contamination as much as possible. They even let my friend substitute the fries in the monkey fries for tater tots so that she could still enjoy the item. Our burgers were so juicy and great too.

There are two Famous Dave's in town and tis is not the one with a big parking lot. But we were still able to park nearby, and they had plenty of room inside the restaurant to accommodate our group of 14. Being a large group, we were surprised they were able to seat us right away. Downside: the spot they put us in was pretty tight, but once we were sitting the only reason that mattered was that the server couldn't reach half our table. There was a lot of passing drinks and dishes across the table to those on the end. We keep coming to Famous Dave's because the food is delicious. Lots of tasty barbecue to choose from, and we like the variety of table sauces. There are usually more sauces on the table than there were this time. Our end of the table only had two of the sauces (they'd pushed a few tables together for us), and the other end had three, so...more passing things down the table. But if we didn't already know to look for them, or if we'd been a smaller group at a two-sauce table, we would have missed out. Some of us ordered the All-American BBQ Feast. It had a good variety of meats, plus cornbread muffins and fries. So, so many fries. Like, way more fries than we needed. I would gladly have given up most of that pile of fries for one more slice of brisket (which was a little light). But still, that food is delicious, so I guess we've gotta keep coming. Some of the kids in our group ordered kids meals--no complaints about the chicken tenders. And the kids also get pig ear hats, with activities on the back, to keep them busy while waiting for food to arrive.

The pork is just ok. It also comes with garlic toast, corn bread, potatoes wedge, coleslaw, corn, and BBQ beans. Food is a lot but not as good as the one in Tennessee. Service is average. Seat is good. The decoration is more like the pit BBQ.
