Went to the Riverwalk Pub and we started our meal with their stuffed mushroom appetizer and I had the Mahi Mahi Sandwich with fries and a Maple Apple Old Fashion. Food was great and the fries were perfectly crispy. My husband had the Battered Cod and garlic mash potatoes and thought they were done perfectly. read more

Great service from Renee. Friendly place with great views and good food. Obviously we were visiting the dells when we popped in. I wish I could of lost the kids for a minute to hang out at the Bud bar which seemed super cute and cool. I had the fried chicken. Excellent. The lumberjack pretzel was great also. Good spot for the views and family. read more

Every time we come up to the Dells from the Chicago area, we have to stop at Riverwalk for a shaved prime rib sandwich! We really dislike their new 3.5% "service charge", to "alleviate the struggles of small businesses with fluctuating costs"! That is the cost of doing business. If you must, raise your prices a buck or two, don't nickel and dime your guests with Mickey Mouse add-on fees. read more

Good food. Could serve a big party of my sons baseball team without any reservation. Friendly service.

Lots off flys around our table. The food was not very good for price. Would not come back

This little pub is located on the Riverwalk. Nothing spectacular, full bar, with fish fries and other dinners available. We just happened to stop for a couple drinks so it wouldn't be fair to judge them on the food. Drinks are kind of over priced. read more

We had a rocky start getting served but the food was well worth the wait! the Mahi was excellent and the New York strip steak was perfect

Service is terrible, food is frozen, vegetables are still frozen inside! No flavor! Stay away. It is a shame beautiful place

We held our rehearsal dinner in their private room that let out to their lower patio and Riverwalk and it was perfect! The steaks were incredible as was the service!!! We had looked at many venues and the location and ambience (with plenty of parking) next to the entrance to the Riverwalk and value could not be beat! Quite the hidden gem!!! read more

Good food and drinks, stuffed mushrooms were great. Accidentally left my sandwich in the to go container on the table, came back about 20 minutes later and they were nice enough to make me a new sandwich to take home. Great customer service as it was my fault I'd left it. Thanks guys! read more

Amazing building. Great views of the riverwalk. The bar was fantastic! The food was OK. The server was very attentive, and the food was hot and quick. We were visiting post-Covid restrictions. It appeared as though they were trying to get back on their feet and into a seasonal groove. I will give it another try on our next visit. read more

Amazing food and a beautiful location. We had a group of 7 and was surprised how quickly they were able to seat us. Even if you have to wait the views around the river are amazing to just walk around and take it all in. If you can try to eat outside and enjoy. Even though our table didn't really have a view of the river it was still nice to be out there in such a relaxing environment that really enhanced the experience. Everything on the menu sounded amazing it was hard to choose but I loved my pesto shrimp grilled cheese that I finally decided on. Everyone else really enjoyed their meals as well. Even though we were all full we couldn't not get desert since everything sounded and looked so good, ended up order three of them to share for the table. Definitely recommend and worth coming back to next time we are visiting the Dells. read more

great food and service everything was on point. 5 's all around. very observant to refills removing our plates very professional staff.

Awesome location and building. Lots of bar space and they even have a separate building to help alleviate some of the crowd. Food is great and service has always been fine for me read more

They told us they had two tables but wouldn't be able to push them together and it would be about ten minutes before the big one was available. We waited for 30 full minutes (and no one came to even update us) despite there being very few other customers. with rude wait staff and never got seated. Horrible customer service. read more

The view is amazing, and there is a walk along the edge of the river bank. I agree that the food is not amazing, but if you just want some drinks, then this is a great spot to go to! You can sit outside in the sun, or there is also a shaded patio. They serve local elk burger, but make sure you ask for cheese or mayo with it, cause it is very dry otherwise. They also have a wide collection of local wisconsin beers. The service was a bit sketchy at first, but our waitress was very sweet. Be careful during summer weekends, as there seem to be lots of weddings there. read more

the food was amazing and the seafood was very fresh. servers were very friendly and kept up with tables, would for sure come back

Was greatly disappointed, ate there last night.... don't think they are following CDC guidelines.... where I live, you don't have shared condiments... they DO ....shared ketchup bottles... they DO!!! Lastly they say people right next to each other.... no 6 feet between tables, yes we sat outside, but didn't like people sitting right next to us! Food, had a shrimp grilled cheese sandwich... tails still on the shrimp... and cheese... didn't really see anything:(. Bill for two people who ate sandwiches and appetizer $49, crazy!! read more

Good service, great food (brat burger, Ruben, and cheese curds)! Everyone was very friendly, and the view while eating outside was great!!

The burger my son had was very good. The server appeared friendly. But we opted to take our order to go after realizing that NONE OF THEM WERE WEARING MASKS! It's as if they've all been under a rock, on the day the US had a record high 10K new cases. Unbelievable. Disappointing. And hella irresponsible. read more

This place is worth coming to! The food is great! The menu is tempting, friendly staff, beautiful river views! My new favorite place!

Chose this place for the ambience, found covered deck dining overlooking the river. Good selection of beers, but margarita was short on alcohol. Tuscany scampi salad & wood fired sausage & mushroom pizza was good, but not outstanding. But of the choices in this tourist town, this place was perfect for us 50 something kids who remember how to party. Service was sporty, inexperienced waitress, bartender who didn't know how to serve mixed drinks. Technology was blamed for a lost order, but waitress didn't follow up on why so slow. I would come back because the setting was great and hope just am off night. read more

I've always had a good time and great food at River walk. My wife enjoys it every time. Recently I've ate there with my dad, stepmom and their 11 year old kid. They were all blown away. My wife ordered the steak salad and she loved it, I had the shaved prime rib and couldn't have enjoyed it better and the rest of the crew was impressed. Great restaurant in Wisconsin Dells. I'll be back! read more

Such a nice place ruined by the worse service I can ever remember. Went to have a birthday lunch on the patio and couldn't get any service. I had to ask twice to get menus, we were ready to leave went we got someone to take our order. It wasn't that busy but when one couple came in 10 minutes after us and got service before us I knew this was not going to go well. Did get our waters, food came cold, might of been good if it was hot. Then I had to go in and get silverware and napkins, then when she took our glasses to refill them, she disappeared for 10 minutes, I had to remind her she took our glasses to get them back. Again such a pity to have such a nice place with a great view ruined by terrible service and fries and sandwiches they are suppose to be hot come cold. read more

I didn't think it could suck more, but the Riverwalk found a way to introduce a fresh hell upon us. Prepare for the laundry list of failure! Or skip to the bottom for the synopsis. Though the restaurant was barely half full, it took them an hour to make a salad. My aunt's nachos awkwardly came out 20 minutes before the rest of the food, they brought the wrong meals a couple times first before finding ours, and there was a great big stick of bread piled on top of a Celiac's salad despite requests of no gluten. I asked for no blue cheese, they gave me double blue cheese, the "mixed greens" were iceberg lettuce, meanwhile the avocado alternated between rotten and drastically unripe. The Steakhouse salad was billed as having a balsamic dressing and it sure did have it - drizzled on top of iceberg lettuce leaves that were already absolutely sopping wet with ranch for some reason?! The waitress tried to convince everyone not to order mashed potatoes because "the chefs did not want to make gravy." Then she changed her tune and cheerfully offered gravy to my father-in-law when he went for the (expensive) prime rib, so suddenly everyone wanted that mashed potatoes and gravy and she looked mad she could not deny us LOL. It took 20 minutes to get a glass of wine poured, and the menus stayed on the table for a full half an hour after ordering, and getting seated in the half-empty restaurant was an ordeal because they kept trying to seat a party of 7 at a dirty round four-top instead of the clean large 8-top next to it. This place is insane. The food is inedible and I've never EVER gotten a decent meal here. My family comes here once a year out of schadenfreude delight just to see what utter screwup happens to the food. Don't eat here unless you derive masochistic satisfaction from laughably bad food and service. read more

The ABSOLUTE worst service I have ever seen. We had a party of 9. After waiting 30 minutes for a table, they sat us at a table for 6. When we asked for a larger table, they said we would have to go back to the end of the waitlist. read more

Really disappointed in the food here. Everything was frozen then fried, nothing fresh. I ordered the real Wisconsin cheese curds, they were FROZEN. Pretty sure I get the same ones from sams club. The service wasn't great either, the only redeeming quality was the beautiful view. read more

It's fine. Very boring menu, nothing special. Service was fine, and a cold beer sitting on the patio I overlooking the river is a nice stop on a hot afternoon. Wings were actually good. Kids menu consists of a variety of frozen items. It's the Dells, we were passing through, and didn't expect anything great, and that's exactly what we got. read more

This will not exactly be short and sweet. Please bear with me. The best thing I saw about this place was the amazing historic timber work decor. The service was slow but at least it was average at best. Did I mention slow? OK, got that part covered. I had to flag down someone else's server to ask them to go find our server to refill my pepsi products. (They were still slow getting around to coming back to the table, too, btw, surprise surprise.) The cocktails were nothing spectacular, just average journeyman simple but at a price they seemed rather proud of. The wines were far more interesting, however. Go ahead. Try them. Interesting, right? It means what it means... that's gonna have to be up to you to figure out. Or try the pepsi products if you can get them refilled. Now, about the food? Let's nicely say their chowder was the most tasteless stuff I've eaten with a spoon in a very long time. Oh, and it can only be called chowder because if you could find a hint of a clam in it someplace, you're a better (luckier?) diner than I was. But at least the burger was as big as they said it would be. They must have forgotten to tell me that their custom is to serve the side of fries lukewarm. And don't forget to ask for the mayo with the fries when you order, otherwise, the server will be a tad delayed before getting it to you while your fries cool a bit more. But the woodwork will be a feast for your eyes while you ... "wait." I should have listened to my little bells when I saw the ratings other people gave this place. I should listen more often. But, at least the burger was the size they said it would be. read more

Was very disappointed with our time at the river walk pub....First off we were seated and waited 20 minutes for anyone to even come and take our drink order.. Second we only ordered appetizers and both the nachos and the big pretzel were cold and tasted as if they had been sitting for 15 minutes. We also had a few drinks that were supposed to be alcoholic but most definitely didn't have any alcohol in them tasted like watered down juice. Lastly our server did not return to our table once and we had to ask someone else if we could get our bill! Do not recommend this place. read more

Great pub food that's reasonably priced. Casual environment. Attentive friendly staff. Granted this is winter but still busy. Have enjoyed each experience I have had here(4th time in 2 yrs) read more

River Walk Pub - Nice TVs to be able to watch a game if you'd like... - Pubs Near Me - Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Went here over the summer and absolutely loved it! Beautiful place and view as well as great food.

Took the family here for Friday Night Fish Fry. Seven of us. Only my husband and I had the Fish fry. Others had salmon, shaved beef and broasted chicken. Everything was very good. Orders were delivered perfectly. Drinks were good. And our server Ferhat did and awesome job. Thank you!!!! read more

This review is for management. We had a new hire for our server she was on day two. We really had no issue with her she was just fine. When we got our food she asked how our food was, so we gave her feedback on the hot, spicy dressing on the Asian salad. She apologize profusely several times which was not her fault but we thought she might like to share feedback with managers. It was obvious she was very busy and overloaded with too many customers for being day two. No managers appeared to help her out until another worker or manager came over to say loudly to us please do not yell at your server. This made our experience very unpleasant. We never yelled at her other to give her feedback when asked and explained this to the person. Major improvements need to be made at this restaurant with both food and service, and assist your new hires so they're not overworked. read more

Gave it one only because I can't give it 0. Actually, the wait staff was great and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. Too bad the kitchen staff and management are bribing the whole place down. But... the food lacked seasoning, was cold, and not to order. Bathrooms were dirty and smelled of urine. Management did nothing when informed. read more

WOW. Wish I had come here to read the reviews before going there on my birthday with my fiance the other weekend. The service was TERRIBLE. I'm not talking slow or full of mistakes, I'm talking MEAN. Mean enough to make me use CAPS which I NEVER USUALLY DO. The pub was right next to the amazing hotel/rental we stayed at (Cedar Lodge), and I was so excited when I saw they had karaoke on my birthday (I love karaoke!). The fun stopped there. The waitress was... just plain rude and mean. I almost asked her what we did wrong... instead, I kept trying to be extra nice, thinking maybe she just had a bad day. She continued to be super rude, even after finding out it was my birthday (don't know why I thought she'd say happy birthday or be nice or anything). And then, after dinner, my fiance waited at the bar for ten minutes while the bartender tossed wadded up paper at his friend. Seriously, the bartender looked over at my fiance several times, but just stood on the other side of the almost empty bar and tossed paper at someone. The guy running the karaoke was super nice, and when we stormed out he asked us why we leaving. When I told him that he was great but the staff obviously didn't like us, he was speechless, but didn't seem too surprised. Karaoke guy, if you read this, thanks for being the only good part of that experience! Long story shot: if you are reading this and considering going to the River Walk Pub, DON'T. read more

We took a wrong turn and stumbled upon this gorgeous building. Sadly it's all show. The food is as generic as it gets. Like you tasted it before out of a can or bag. We had the all you can eat fish fry. It was passable, what didn't pass was the fries. Unlike fritos, you can eat just one. Clam chowder, they didn't even pretend to doctor up. It was served WITH the meal to boot. The whole place seems to have the attitude of an old 10CC album, Bloody Tourists! read more

If it wasn't on the bar crawl punch card, we wouldn't have known it existed. But after going here once, we won't go again. This place was swarming with flies, and the doors weren't even open. The service was awful. Our waiter was new, and really cool and apologetic when he forgot things. It was his supervisor that was a hot mess. I misunderstood something on the "fun card," and the supervisor walked over and actually pointed to each word - and read it - very slowly - to me, as if I didn't speak English or were mentally challenged. I could not believe this. I also heard her yelling at the trainee, "we don't HAVE blue cheese!" in a berating tone. Jesus. None of it was a big deal to us, we just changed our order. The beer cheese soup is creamy, but lacked real flavor. The beer cheese soup at High Rock was so much better. The cuban sandwich was decent, but also lacked spice and flavor. The pork didn't taste right. The cuban at Monk's was 10x better. My boyfriend didn't seem too enthusiastic about the elk burger, but said it was good. Cheese curds are fine, but you can get the same thing at Gilly's Island. They were out of 2 Leinenkugel beers, Berry Weiss and Summer Shandy. Disappointing. I couldn't wait to get out of there, swatting flies away from my face and my food. I wouldn't go back. read more

Unfortunately, I have to agree with all the prior reviews. The scenery is wonderful, the building itself is a work-of-art, and the wait staff was very friendly, but the food was nothing to write home about. I had the side salad and the Chicken Pesto sandwich. The side salad had the very bare minimums (tons of iceberg lettuce, two small pieces of tomato, and a few croutons) and the sandwich was decent for the price. My wife had the Cuban sandwich and felt it was really greasy for some reason and the pork just didn't taste quite right. What disappointed me most is that I don't understand how someone can build a restaurant with such attention to detail but then just serve the same bar food as most any other restaurant. I was expecting something a little more unique. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience, but I wouldn't likely go again unless they change their menu to offer something I can't get at any restaurant/bar. read more

Awful and rude service, food average at the most. By the time when arrived there, they ran out of the special. That woman who took our orders hate to work there; just save yourself the hassle, and go somewhere else! Beer is cold though, if you manage to get the bartender attention... read more
