    Closed front of building

    Place was closed. 7pm on a Wednesday evening. Their website and the recording when I called said that they were open. I paid for on street parking and then walked up and found they were locked up.

    Gilly Goat

    One of my favorite restaurants period. Every time I come here it's a special experience with unique flavors that pack a punch. Recently I had a cranberry ginger mule with lime which was the perfect balanced tart and refreshing compliment with our food. We started with the Gilly Goat - which is my absolute fav! I love the roasted garlic, goat cheese and special blend of peppers and olive tapenade served with baguette slices. Just heavenly. I had the ahi tuna tacos with garlic tater tots for my main. Both were amazing! The tacos had edamame and cucumber which provided complementary texture with the tuna. Our waitress recommended some hot sauce which sent it over the top delicious. The garlic tater tots were unexpectedly amazing with roasted garlic crumbles. Yum! I love their seasonal menus as well. They always have an amazing range of fresh and innovative options. The vibe can range from casual to fancy it's up to you. There can sometimes be a wait but the downstairs bar is usually open while you wait. Always excellent service and clean facilities. We love High Rocks!

    High Rock Café is located in the downtown area of Wisconsin Dells. We easily found street parking which was free in the winter, but I can imagine parking is trickier during the busy season. We went for lunch on a Saturday and were quickly seated upstairs. I felt like the place had a funky, yet intimate setting. From our window on the second floor, we had a great view of downtown. The menu had some interesting choices. I had a portobello sandwich, and my husband had a pasta dish. Based on the smells and appearance of other guests' dishes, I had high hopes. But ultimately, the food was lackluster. I really wanted it to be better than it was. Maybe it was just what we ordered? Based on the atmosphere, I would return. But the disappointing food may keep me away.

    This was a nice looking place on the inside. There was plenty of seating. Staff was okay although they could have been more attentive. I got the Soprano sandwich. I thought it was average. They gave me a lot of greens but not a lot of shrimp/bacon in the actual sandwich. This is probably a one and done for me next time I'm in the area. For $13 I would want more meat in my meal. Prices were okay. We're find parking nearby.

    COUNTRY BENEDICT WICKED TUNA TACOS All American KRAFT MACARONI & CHEESE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE

    Def the best meal of our three day trip. The tuna taco is so fresh and also good flavor. Biscuits is a great plus for the Benedict. And never tired of truffle and cheese, the combination just perfect! Go for it!

    Waldorf Salad
    Tanya K.

    I've been here a handful of time (including my bachelorette party) and I'm not sure I've ever left a Yelp review. My daughter and I were in the dells on a Thursday. At 6 pm we walked right in and had no problem getting a seat. The waiter (while lacking in personality) was prompt and efficient. We had a kids Mac n cheese (nothing fancy there) and the Waldorf salad. I don't normally order a salad for dinner but this one was huge! The chicken was cooked well and the salad had a lot of flavor. I was very pleasantly surprised!

    Fish tacos

    -The restaurant located the heart of downtown town which mean finding parking is a hassle -please make a reservation to avoid waiting -the best seat is the upper level of the restaurant by the window to have great view of the downtown -gilly goat is the must try the only dish I was satisfied -fish taco was ok the flavor was plain my garlic tater tots has better flavored -staffs are great and our server is attentive

    Before I came to Wisconsin Dells I googled where to go for a dinner. There were just a few places that were rated as a wanted. High rock cafe was one of them. We stopped by and decided to give them a try. We were sitted right away, without any waiting time. Everyone seems so kind. Our waitress looked a little bit lost, but doesn't matter. Ordered two virgin cocktails - humu humu nuku nuku apua that were delicious, and two beers. For appetizers we got gilly goat and fish tacos. Gilly goat was sooo good, but since i am not big fan of taco's, I didn't like them that much. I also ordered pan-asian pork chop and my partner took a bruschetta chicken. Both were so juicy and tasty! I can freely say - perfect! We were delighted! After all, we we're very satisfied that we choose this place! Ended up happy with full belly

    Alpine grilled cheese... amaaaazing fries!

    I came here for lunch with my mom today while we took a day trip to The Dells. We arrived at about 11:30, and the restaurant was pretty busy (but still immediate seating). We were seated upstairs which had a really nice view of the goings on if the street below. Our server came out right away, and was super friendly. We ordered drinks and our meal at that time. I don't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was a fruity, champagne cocktail and tasted really nice. I did find the cocktail menu to be a little bit pricey, but not overly so. I really appreciated the fact that they also offer an extensive "Mocktails" menu. My mom got an NA Watermelon margarita thing that she loved! Not many restaurants in Wisconsin consider the non-drinker like this, so props! Our food arrived SUPER quickly! My mom and I both ordered the Alpine Grilled cheese, which is a grilled cheese with goat cheese and fig jam (and maybe one other kind of cheese,) and fries. The sandwich was really good, a little messy with the jam, but definitely a must order if you like goat cheese. The fries were next level good!!! The were crispy outside and fluffy inside and you could really taste the sea salt and pepper! These are among the best fries I've ever eaten. Only criticisms are we found it to be quite cold at our seat (upstairs and by the window). I actually put my coat back on at one point. I also would have liked maybe one or two more vegetarian options. Otherwise... great little spot!

    Wallleye tacos
    Carol T.

    We sat outside here on a beautiful day. The waitress Heather was great! She was very friendly and attentive. I had the walleye tacos with fresh flour tortillas, pico and a creamy white sauce. They were delicious. They came with home made tortilla chips. The Philly cheesesteak wrap was flavorful. Lastly, the fredo pasta was good but more buttery than creamy.

    Really lackluster mimosa.

    We enjoyed the Caesar Salad and the delicious Snickers Cheesecake last Saturday afternoon. The free street parking was an added perk.

    The food was over cooked and flavorless. The website is incorrect and doesn't reflect the menu.

    When in Wisconsin eating cheese is a must!…read more This restaurant is order at the counter, take a number, the food will be delivered to you, but you'll bus the dishes yourself. The Mac and cheese comes in several sizes. This is the regular size. They also have a smaller size and a larger size. There was plenty of open seating. Each table had a caddy with condiments. The Mac and cheese is delicious! The bread is a little hard. But the flavors are great. Lots of toppings. It was well worth the price especially considering the area is known to be touristy.

I never thought I'd be raving about mac and cheese, but this was hands down the best I've ever had. We ordered the Jalapeño Mac, and the owner suggested adding the Chipotle Chicken. That recommendation absolutely made the dish! It had the perfect balance of creamy, cheesy, smoky, and spicy flavors. The cheese tasted incredibly fresh, and you can truly appreciate why Wisconsin is famous for its cheese. We also tried one of their melts, which was just as delicious--crispy, buttery, loaded with flavor, and packed with that same amazing fresh cheese. Everything was so good that we came back the very next day before leaving Wisconsin Dells because we couldn't stop thinking about it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and don't miss this place. Fantastic food, great recommendations, and an experience we'll definitely remember.
