Had another excellent meal at Rubb's. Wonderful steak. And the stuffed chicken breast was delightful. And even though wisconsin dells was super busy there was lots of seating at Rubb's probably because they are off the main drag and close to Chula Vista. Worth it to take an extra 5 minutes to get to Rubb's Steakhouse and Supper Club AND they have a wonderful soup and salad bar included with most meals. Restaurant was clean, peaceful, and a great place to get a great meal. read more

Located a little bit outside of the hustle and bustle of the Dells. We chose the steakhouse given its wide menu selection allowing for steak, fish, pasta and pizza options as well as the reasonable prices to celebrate our bachelorette. The steakhouse is tucked away at the end of a gravel road and quite small/quaint. It was dark when we arrived so we did not get a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery I read about. The service was good and they were attentive. The food on the other hand was a little disappointing. The soups at the salad bar were mainly broth and not very flavorful other than one was overwhelming peppered. The rest of the salad bar was fresh and had many options to choose from. We ordered stuffed mushrooms for the table. My friends enjoyed them. For me, they were a little in the blank side and too cream cheesy. My steak was a tad overcooked for medium rare. It lacked flavor despite the garlic butter and mushrooms. The mashed potatoes were heavily peppered as well. I found that my leftovers tasted much better than the night of the meal. read more

We wanted to love this place. It was our first time here, and was anniversary dinner. Very casual, "hidden" local steakhouse. Not in the hustle and bustle on the main drag of the Dells. Started out great while waiting for our table (had reservations, but came a bit early). The drinks at the bar were outstanding. Blueberry mojito and espresso martini were some of the best I've had. We were excited about the unlimited soup and salad bar (included with steak dinners), as we don't see this offered much anymore. However, the soups were very bland (potato and beef vegetable) and watery. Salad was good with lots of choices, but wasn't being refilled as things were emptied. We both had filet for dinner. Meat was tough and lacking flavor. My baked potato was probably the smallest I've seen at a steakhouse. I think our server was new, but definitely not great. read more

Driving here at night in the snow made me question my decision as we went down the pitch black winding road into the woods, but once there it was clear we were going to have a great meal. Steak for kids and the usual options for them as well as the soup/salad bar included for everyone. Really great service and reasonable prices. read more

"Set way back in the middle of a field was a funky old shack and I gotta get baaaaack" B-52's Down an old dirt road and not visible from the street. Streaks were good! Ribeyes-Cooked perfect $48/ a piece salad bar included with one side. Salad bar was fresh with a ton of options! Hamburger/cheeseburger was awful. Over cooked. Last plate out. Meat was tough and chewy and dry. Toppings were awful-Roma unripe tomatoes, romaine lettuce-one piece, pickle spears and no hamburger chips. Grilled brioche bun was good, French fries were SYSCO frozen crap. Service was excellent! Very attentive but we were the ONLY people there on a Tuesday night at 6pm in mid October. $18 burger-1/10 $48 ribeye-7/10 $14 cheese curds 10/10 Salad bar 7/10 Service 10/10 read more

Salad bar is very fresh, staff very friendly, and all of our meals were cooked perfectly. Little pricey but nice place to try.

Historically, one of my favorite hidden gems in the area, but it let me down the last few times in food quality. I am trusting it is a slump and soon to return to the glory it started with ..... Give it a try, drinks are particularly fun and good. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!My son and his wife went here for their first anniversary, rubbery shrimp, overcooked steak, very poor service, overpriced horrible experience. Despite their warnings, friends invited us to dinner several years later and we had the EXACT same experience! overpriced, poorly prepared main dishes, owner was the host, bartender and server, tiny salad bar, burnt shrimp, slow service, etc. There are a dozen quality places to dine in the Dells. This is definitely NOT one of them!! read more

The first time we were there, the meat was excellent. The second time we were there was mediocre and we overpriced. The service was OK. The second time it was really good. The first time the place just seems old inside and they need to move that salad bar away from the door. The owner is very friendly. I just think the place needs freshened up and more consistency with the food. read more

The food was amazing. Best filet I have ever eaten. Ribs were extra meaty and delicious. All you can eat salad and soup bar was well stocked. Everyone was very friendly. A hidden treasure in the woods Wuthering wonderful views. read more

Unfortunately, we just really did not have a great experience whatsoever. It's not often that I leave a poor review, but there was just so many areas that just left us wishing that we wouldn't have spent the money on this place and I'm hoping that people are able to make a more informed decision than we did. Walking in, it was just.. awkward. The salad bar is the literal first thing you see, right next to the entry way. The greeting was awkward, and even though they had several tables open they had us go to the bar to wait (and they ended up sitting us at a table that was open the whole time?) so it was just weird. The back bar room has no music, so it was just a quiet, awkward, and long wait for mediocre drinks. Honestly, we were talking about leaving after that and was should have. There was what seemed to be regulars that came in and were rude about us being in their spots, so we were conveniently seated at that point. The food itself? Mediocre at best. The salad bar was decent, only because of the homemade soups and dressings. The waitress raved about the homemade croutons and bread as well, and there was no bread up there. It was not restocked the whole time we were there. The waitress herself was nice enough, but there was no sense of speed anywhere in our experience, including from her. The steak was the only good item, and for the pricing it should have been. The special was an overpriced goulash, and the Alfredo sauce was watery with undercooked pasta. We just really were disappointed. We did overhear some of the employees talking about the owner's discussing a name change to The G Spot - I just thought this was absurd to overhear from someplace that is presenting itself as a supper club, with pricing to reflect that. Just unprofessional to hear over dinner. Maybe this was a one off night, but we won't be back read more

This was our second visit to this cabin like restaurant in the Woods of the Dells. Be sure to use your GPS to find. The owner is very welcoming and our waitress Christina was efficient and great. Love the fresh salad bar. Cocktails were tasty ( especially the special martinis) as were our dinners. Lots of variety on the menu. Looking forward to visiting again this Summer. read more

Things just fell a little short. The salad bar was great. However the New England Clam Chowder had no potatoes. Just a very few clams and a flavorful creamy broth. The Beef Vegetable soup seemed much better. We shared the Ribeye. The Ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare and seasoned well, but the steak was definitely not Prime. I'm really not sure it was even choice. And if you want to be called a "Steakhouse", your steaks better be better than Ponderosa. I'm guessing they haven't been open for long this season, the Salad Bar was missing the sneeze guard and it looks like they're trying to finish a renovation. read more

I made a reservation and made the restaurant aware that I had allergies. When we arrived, the chef came out to talk to us.I told him I had to be gluten and dairy free and he said no problem. We ordered and I specified that I had to be gluten and dairy free and no butter on my steak. Then the owner came out to say we would have to wait, the kitchen was slammed and we would have to wait for our food because there was a party of 40 people in the back dining room. We waited 45 minutes, then the hostess/owner came to say our food would be out in 3-4 minutes. We waited 15 more minutes, having only the salad bar and drinks. Then the food came out and there was butter on my steak and my husband did not get his side of rice. We said we're leaving, we will only pay for our salad bar food and our drinks. The owner said no, you don't have to pay for anything. Then she said that it didn't say no butter on the steak! I said that's wrong, I said that because I have a dairy allergy. We left, and we will not be back. The service was terrible and I did not get my food prepared the way I asked. It might not seem like a big deal to some, but it is for me. I will get sick from dairy. They got the gluten free right, but not the dairy. So sad and disappointed. read more

Another great Wisconsin supper club experience. The service was amazing the food was delicious and more than expected. Portion are large and cooked perfectly. We are very picky and this place mad it on our go back list. If you want a good meal at a reasonable price give it a try read more

Prime rib was delicious as was the salad bar. Advertises as an old fashioned supper club....no relish trays but instead two mildly warm rolls. Not too busy, but the service was fairly slow. Love the setting! read more

The Friday pan-fried fish (haddock) was absolutely amazing! Another person in our group had the ribeye and raved about it. Will definitely be back! read more

What's not to love? Great Prime Rib and excellent homemade sides. Fresh soup and salad bar. We look forward to RuBBs everytime we're in town. Skip downtown Dells and support this local gem. Owner and wait staff so very friendly. Love that it's set back in the woods. So much potential. Excellent intimate supper club where the food is so tasty and the prices are as expected. read more

It is difficult to write this but RuBBs was terrible. 2nd time there. First time was barely acceptable but this was bad. We like going to local places off the beaten path and just by the location, this should be a cool restaurant. I understand during even busy season, it is tough for a small business to do well. The appetizer was loaded potatoes in theory. It looked like a cut up baked potato into strips with cheese added. My New York Strip was cooked on outside, raw inside. Probably frozen and tried to unfreeze and thrown on the grill. The chicken entree with noodles was dry and not good. The salad bar seemed OK but I stayed away from some of dairy add ons that looked questionable. I did not try the soup. The rolls were hard as a rock. When I ordered my second drink, they ran out of the liquor of choice (a standard) and said they were closing in a few weeks (I assume for the season). Way over-priced for what you get, unfortunate. The waitress was nice, I assumed a manager. She was coaching one of the cooks or kitchen staff how to get better and what to take for a cold in front of the dining room. I wish them all the best and I know how hard it is to run a restaurant like this but we won't be back ever. read more

This is THE PLACE! Go enjoy yourselves and all the food, too! Loved the salmon and ribs. Salad bar was full and delicious, too.

We were there last night and it was wonderful. Highly recommended! Service, food and ambiance

Great food and service at this local gem. Soup and salad bar was excellent and the steaks were superb!! A real Wisconsin supper club experience!! Ask for Carlos as your server, he is fantastic! read more

Took over an hour to get our food and was still missing one more dish because of a "mishaps" the steak was bland and needed salt. Overall The Service was mid. The burger was good The pasta we waited for because of a "mishaps" was okay the shrimp that went with it was bland. The Soup and salad bar was better than my steak. read more

Food was horrible. The server was very nice and understanding. But the pricing for what you get is absolutely not worth it. $28 for 7 shrimp and potatoes...... no way. We paid $115 for 4 people and everything was cold or undercooked. We won't be returning. Beautiful hidden spot but food is bad bad. Also not to mention everything was apparently out? So half the items we wanted we're not available the salad bar you could tell items were old and gross. Not worth it. read more

A Hidden Gem! Worth the extra 3 minute drive for THE ABSOLUTE BEST RIBS & STEAK we have ever had in our lives. Even our picky son enjoyed the Wisconsin cheese curds & extra crispy chicken strips. Great service and not a long wait during the dinner rush since it's a little off the main strip. Will be back during our next visit! read more

We live in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and Rubbs is just a few miles from our house. We had been to Rubbs for dinner about a month ago. The food and service was adequate. My wife and I decided on the spur of the moment to go to RUBBs for beverage of choice and appetizers at the bar. We were served by a bartender in training; he did a decent job. The appetizers were acceptable, except for the onion rings (photo attached). We sent the onion rings back. The person in charge said she'd "take them off (the bill)". She further stated that the "..whole bag is like this...fortunately the bag is almost empty...". What? These shouldn't even be served! My wife ordered a dinner and I ordered the salad bar that we would be having at the bar. When I returned with both our plates, my wife had been informed that her dinner wasn't available. The salad bar is included with a meal, but overpriced on its own so it's a good thing we weren't charged for hers. We won't be going back, but we did have a nice time together at the bar; both the beer and Red Stag Manhattans were good. read more

RuBBs Steakhouse - Onion rings look like everything separated...still served! - Steakhouses Near Me - Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Went here because everywhere else had a long wait. Food was only okay as it was very bland and definitely not worth the price.

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant. We found the prices quite high for their food. 1. No cheese curds for Memorial weekend. 2. My husband got beef ribs- well well done. No excuse for them to be smoked that way. 3. I got chicken Parmigiano, chicken was not cooked but half way. The linguini was only cooked in water No salt( flat) barely any sauce on the dish. So I requested smoked pork ribs Well over done, they add sauce and bake or heat till BBQ SAUCE. is burnt on the ribs and the dish. The BBQ sauce was bitter, so I flipped them over to eat just the meat, it was then salty. I have to say my husband smokes meat all the time and he knows how to smoke meat so it's juicey and flavorful. It should be smoked part way then wrapped in foil to cook for another couple hrs. Then finished on the grill to crisp up. Then add BBQ sauce on the grill. You don't ever over cook in smoker then cook the sauce on them till its burnt. We had ice tea that was soured by the tea pitcher being dirty with mold. You have to keep tea in the refrigerator, not leave on the counter to spoil Our waitress would not listen. Would just walk away while we were explaining about the tea, since we make it and drink it everyday because we live in the south. We would not recommend this restaurant unless you want to come for the alcoholic drinks. read more

To call this place a steak house is like saying Dunkin Doughnuts is a Parisienne Cafe. My wife ordered the filet with sautéed mushrooms and onions, the steak was over cooked and the onions were, well, raw. The manage/owner was more concerned with playing dice on the bar than ensuring the kitchen staff knew anything about cooking. SKIP IT! read more

When its named after the many dry rubs that could be put on your steak, you'd expect the steak to come with it. None of our steaks had the rubs we requested. Veg of the day was frozen vegetables. I do fresh at home and that's what I expect when out. Hair found under the food when half of one plate was gone sealed this unfortunate review. $200 not worth it. read more

Great food, always enjoy dining outside. Allow plenty of time, the environment is something you won't wanna leave.

Atmosphere was fine/good... Wisconsin style supper club Waitstaff...no issues Time... while it was busy, it took between 20-30 minutes to even get my drink order. Food then came within about 5 minutes of ordering it (a bit odd) Food...for a steakhouse/supper club was pretty disappointed. Tasted like a microwaved prime rib, dinner roll was like eating gravel, rack of ribs seemed pretty mid read more

Amazing atmosphere and melt in your mouth steaks. Highly recommend this place. I'd give it more stars if I could!!

I really wish I could give zero stars. The food was cold, and honestly horrible quality. The salad bar is okay, and the soups were alright. Our waitress was amazing, however.. The manager was horrible. My grandma did not like her steak, and the manager replied with "Well I don't understand that but okay." with such a condescending attitude. I am in service industry, and this was by far the worst customer service I have ever witnessed. Go to texas roadhouse. read more

Honestly we were skeptical. We choose this place based on prices and previous reviews. Showed up in peak tourist season, at 7:00 pm, and not a soul was in the building other than the staff. This should have thrown up red flags but our family is firm believers that sometimes the best places are the ones less visited. We ordered the NY strip, two seafood pastas, and one half rack of ribs (all the specials of the night). Each came with a side and the soup and salad bar. Ribs were tender, really meaty, and had a unique but amazing sauce. Steak was well prepared 10oz strip with a pepper rub (my choice out of six). Sea food pasta was well cooked with shrimp, crab, and scallops. The service was outstanding. Andre took care of everything, was personable and attentive even though he was the only staff at the front because they were so slow. As the night progressed more people filled in and he still kept up with us like we were is only table. Overall bill, $82.00. Kind of on the higher end of what we normally spend on vacation, but we always have one splurge night and this was it. All in all, take the extra few minutes and make the drive to this place. It's off the beaten path but well worth it. read more

On 5/28 my husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary. We are from out of town and a friend had heard it was good place. Expecting a "5 star restaurant" We were disappointed to be seated at a booth reminiscent of Denny's. we ordered drinks which came promptly, but we had to ask for coasters. The noise level was higher than expected. The menu looked good. Unfortunately it was not until we ordered we were informed of the list of items that were unavailable. We settled on scallops and a New York Strip And a couple of twice baked potatoes. The cost would be around $75 which is not expensive for a celebration. After we ordered, we were directed to a salad bar even in a Denny's would have been found lacking. Nothing was labeled and both soups looked like gruel. When our food arrived the first thing we noticed was that all the sea scallops were cut in pieces That's when we noticed all the food was cold - the cheese on the twice baked potatoes had already geld. We spoke with the owner and stated how unhappy we were and that we were not going to pay for the food we were served. i admit we were upset by the food, however nothing warranted the owner telling my husband he did not have to be such a "dickhead". We went from upset to shock. We paid for the drinks and left. My advice, When in the Wisconsin Dells area go to any other place. read more

Awesome rustic location and off the beaten path. The wait staff was sparse due to staffing (as are all businesses) but they did a magnificent job keeping up with the customers. Complete soup and salad bar offered with each dinner entree. I had the pork loin chops and my girlfriend had the perch fish fry. No complaints and very delicious! Plenty of parking and great service! Define return trip! read more

First time back since Covid, and we were very pleased with everything. We started with a very awesome Wisconsin old fashion! Very nice size and delicious!

We will definitely be back. their steaks looked great! read more
