Creme brulee
Sean W.

On our way to go camping, we found out that we were running early and decided to stop on and take the tour. Then lunch. Then dessert. The tour was fun, the drinks excellent, and the food was great! Each item, though rather different, was very good. My wife and I both love our noodles and jambalaya is just one of those dishes I can't stay away from. Ended up not needing dinner that night because we were so stuffed from lunch. We will be back.

This place was so fantastic, we went back twice during our 4 day stay in Wisconsin Dells! We sat out on the patio which was very pleasant. Shady, breezy and next to a little river. When we saw the cocktail menu we were so excited to try the Naughty Pickle Martini!! And it did not disappoint!!! It was delicious!! The addition of the balsamic and oil really livens up the flavor!! For food I had the Balsamic Grilled Portabella. It felt like I was eating a rare steak. It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked! The cauliflower mash it sat on top of was so creamy. My boyfriend had the Bourbon Ramen Bowl. He loved it!!! So much he ate it so quick! We also purchased on balsamic vinegar cherry infused and gin pickles to take home with us! Can't wait to visit again!

Bourbon glaze burger with cauliflower mash side

Stopped in for lunch, as the menu looked good. Nice clean, modern decor and friendly pleasant server. We were seated in the back dining area by the window with a great view of the river. My Manhattan cocktail was excellent, with cherry balsamic and bitters. My wife had the tuna salad which was outstanding . I had the bourbon burger, with a great sweet bourbon glaze and thick bacon; which was excellent. As was my cauliflower mash side. The coffee we followed up with was strong and smooth. Great lunch.

What a great experience at this local whiskey restaurant. Everything from the service to the food was fantastic. I highly recommend trying this place if you're anywhere in the Wisconsin dells or near about region. If you take the whiskey flight, upgrade to the better whiskeys. Definitely worth it. Don't skip the desert either!

'The Glennnn' is off to the right. You just can't see it. Lol.

Love going here. The people that work here do a great job taking care of you. The food is very good. Huge quantities. Good is always fresh and hot. The pizza is no doubt very good and if that's what you are looking for you found it. However, the real 'gems' in the menu are the sandwiches- meals and burgers. All very good. This place just is simply awesome. If you come to Baraboo to check out the circus or the circus museum, or you are staying at one of the many campgrounds or heading out to Devil's Lake--- make this part of your time and stop on in if you are feeling hungry. Like I said the whole staff here does a great job and they have a very good menu for food items.

Outside - cool area and small distillery
Kevin B.

I'm sure there are plenty who love this place and I wish it the best, but for the price point this meal, service and ambiance was lacking. Our reserved table (Anniversary) was next to the kitchen (help) door - the restaurant runs into the gift shop which runs into the hostess/distillery tour check-in which runs into the distillery tasting area. It's a lot - on this busy night probably too much.

If you like bourbon/ rye/ liquor/mixed drinks/ amazing food! This is your place. It's hard to know where to start. I love the food! The menu changes with the seasons !! So you might loose your favorite menu item from time to time. If you ever see the SHORT RIB with risotto. It's a Must try !! 10/10. I have had it over 5 times. It's a winter menu item. But I did see it on the summer menu in taco form for the summer. Bourbon ! I will keep it short because I could write a lot. Single barrel 96ish proof is there best. The higher proof is good. There finishes are a try but you either like them or nah. But they are creative and they when limited releases of age statement, whiskey all the time. I think what they're doing is pretty awesome while making good product. Try to sit outside. The river is amazing and it's a cool place to sit! I do think this is a great date night spot but also is a great place to bring kids, try the pizza. They're only knock is service is average, everyone is super nice but the details could be tuned up a little. Overall try to go. And grab a bottle on the way out. Tip.

mushroom flatbread

We enjoyed our visit to DGD. The space is wonderful, with nice table spacing. The food is artfully composed. We would return, hopefully for more spirits; especially if we were staying a little closer.

Smoked salmon dip
Nicolas P.

Love this place. Even if you don't like whiskey, you should still come for the restaurant alone! For drinks they have a lot of whiskey cocktails and a couple beers on tap. They also do flights of their whiskeys, only $15 for generous pours, and they're typically excellent. Everything we've gotten here has been delicious, especially the short rib, smoked salmon dip appetizer, and the bourbon bread pudding which is the best I've ever had. Everyone here is very friendly, the food is top notch, and they're putting out some excellent whiskeys (especially the ryes!). Definitely come here!

The restaurant had a nice patio with gorgeous views of the Baraboo River. The food was also good and the drinks were tasty. They specialize in bourbon, whiskey, gin and vodka. They take pride in using locally sourced ingredients which is pretty cool. They offer tours but we didn't partake today. We had the bourbon burger and chicken sandwich with smoked Gouda cheese. Both were great. It was a nice place to hang out for a few hours. The service was also very good. No complaints from me.

Pistachio brownie with ice cream
Carrie J.

Heading home in a food coma- and SO happy about it! This was one of the best meals I've had. My husband and I both had the walleye. Lightly pan fried with fresh dill cream sauce accompanied by new potatoes and asparagus- perfectly cooked. A light buttery touch hit just right in this trifecta. The fish portion was huge. So flaky- just melted into the fork. My brother ordered the heirloom tomato steak salad- he's ordered before and raved about this and said this time it was even better than he remembered. Huge fresh tomatoes and tender steak on a bed of fresh greens and balsamic glaze with blue cheese crumbles. My sister-in-law ordered the salmon- huge portion on a bed of jasmine rice with asparagus. Our pre/dinner drinks were regular and blackberry old fashioneds and an espresso martini. The orange flavor came through in the regular old fashioneds. The blackberry old fashioned was 'dangerously like kool aid." Something awesome about this place is they have free drink cards of the special drinks. I also appreciated that drinks could be modified upon request. We sure will try out the recipes. The espresso martini was a perfect blend of coffee and vodka with a hint of vanilla- no creaminess typical of many I've had. Just pure taste goodness. You wouldn't think we had room for dessert but there's just no passing on the incredible options. We shared vanilla bourbon and rye peanut butter ice cream, pineapple cheesecake, and pistachio brownie with ice cream. TO. DIE. FOR. The setting is beautiful right along the river so we settled into our food coma enjoying the peacefulness of the water and the outdoor early evening night. Our server Candace took great care of us which made this experience so satisfying. There is a nice gift shop with spirits and clothing. All staff were welcoming and friendly. This was a destination dinner for us but it is close to the Wisconsin Dells and definitely worth a stop! Check socials for release events- wish I lived closer to join in the fun but will look for Driftless Glen in my stores for sure.

Jalapeño chicken flatbread.  This was so tasty!

So disappointing that they have a huge outside patio area but don't allow dogs. Don't waste your time coming here.

The food was very good. The service was very good, but it's mighty expensive to have lunch there for a working person.

Do you accept dogs on the patio for lunch?

There's a sign by the door stating they only allow service animals in food service facilities.

Del Bar knocked it out of the park the other night for my niece's 40th birthday! This was probably…read moremy favorite meal during my entire trip to Wisconsin. I love a good supper club and the Del Bar is just such a place. Drinks made precisely and with passion, perfectly cooked food and outstanding service. We were a larger group so we had two servers taking care of us. We ordered a range of appetizers including some amazing fried cheese curds. I also had a wedge salad, a new york strip cooked perfectly and then for dessert they made me a root beer float. Was it on the menu? Nope. But they were kind enough to fulfill a craving I had been having all day! Del Bar is what I loved about living in Wisconsin. There are these local places that still care about the food and service they provide and people show up for it night after night! Thank you Del Bar!

Oh Del bar. How far you've fallen. We've been coming to Del bar multiple times a year since 2005…read more This was our place. Arrived for our reservation 10 minutes early to be seated 30 minutes late. It was insanely packed. They have expanded so much but can't seem to manage their reservations. Parties of the same size were seated before us even though they arrived after. What's missing they will never get back. The shits out of the horse and you can't put it back in, no matter how hard you try. The feeling of the original Del Bar is gone. Along with all of the familiar long time faces we've recognized. Especially the bartender we befriended who created the Del bars espresso martini as it is now. Congrats Del Bar. You're not special any longer. Just another Chicago steakhouse or another dells attraction. The charm is gone.
