    If you want to experience what a racist, woman hating, drunk uncle is like, stop in this place and you'll get your fill of those behaviors from the patrons. Don't waste your time or money. The bartender was nice... that's all the positives I am able to offer based on our visit. We wanted to try a non chain restaurant on the way home and we decided to visit the Swagger Inn based on reviews and the sign board of local businesses on the way into town. The food was edible, but not good. The Frank Sinatra sounded fun but reminded me of something you would make it you had a weird collection of food in the fridge and a hungry child. The accompanying chili was bland and more of a hamburger and bean soup than a chili. Patty Melt was basic bar fare, nothing to write home about. The place says good for children but I wouldn't want to have any child anywhere near this place.

    First bar we stopped at when we arrived in this small town, prob cause of the name, lol. Had a beer and a shot of Buffalo Trace. Bar tenders loved my puppies.

    Food and service were absolutely horrible. The owner is very confrontational. Save yourself time and money and pick somewhere else to eat.

    First time visiting Mac's Stumble Out Pub. There were 4 of us and when we arrived around 7pm,…read moreFriday evening we were able to get the last available table. The bar is not a big place but it was inviting and friendly. Took a little while before the waitress came over to our table to let us know it would be about an hour wait. We were fine since we could tell by all the cars in the area there wasn't going to be a less crowded. We were given a menu for Friday fish fries which is exactly what we wanted. We all ordered the 3 piece hand breaded cod which was only $11.50! You had a choice of baked potato or fries, Cole slaw or cottage cheese and you got a warm dinner roll with cinnamon butter on the side (regular butter was on the table). They were out of baked potatoes so we each had fries with the Cole slaw. Everything was delicious and you absolutely can't beat the price. We will be back.

    We have a place in Lyndon Station and are always looking for a great Fish fry place on Fridays when…read morewe are up there.Our usual go to is Norm's(always excellent),but we also want to try new places,but try to avoid the Dells itself,as their prices are more just because it's the Dells.We decided fo a few doors down to Mac's Stumble Out,and it was again a great option to Norm's.As we knew,it would be very busy,and it was,almost an hour wait, but it's usually like this everywhere in the Dells in the Summer on Friday, so we stayed(great choice).All four of us ordered the 3 piece Cod,which had multiple side options, we all chose the fries option.We settled in and had a few beverages and caught up while we waited.Luckily,it didn't take the full hour(service was a little slow due to size of the crowd of patrons, but that was to be expected).Our waitress brought out all 4 orders and the fish was crispy and hot(only downside was the fries didn't match the quality of the fish,oh well) and good coleslaw and warm dinner role(with cinnamon butter as an alternative,included. The fish was awesome, some of the best I've had,and needless to say I ate all of it.We also noticed the $price, too,$11.95,very,very reasonable for the Dells area.We now have another great option close by.It was a nice & clean place,and if the rest of the menu is as good as the Fish fry, we'll definitely be back.Again only reason it's not 5 stars was the fries and tougher time getting additional drinks. Stay away from the Dells prices and long long waits,drive a few minutes away to Lyndon Station, it's we'll worth it,and less expensive.

Just be ready to squeeze in The decor is the first thing you notice. The walls and ceiling are practically plastered with local apparel, and for whatever reason, there's a heavy monkey theme going on with all the gear. It gives the place a great, unpretentious, classic Wisconsin dive bar vibe. The menu keeps it simple: standard, no-nonsense bar food. We're talking burgers, baskets, and fried sides. Service was surprisingly snappy given that it was shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar. If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, this isn't it. But if you want cold drinks, killer curds, and a vibrant crowd, it's easily a solid four-star stop on the strip. I'd definitely grab a beer here again. the burgers claimed that they were world famous but topping your burgers is a little strange, they charge 25 cents for tomatoes and lettuce

    Come for the burgers not the booze. The burgers were fabulous, juicy and came out fast and fresh…read more The fries are great, we also got a pretzel app and it was also very good. The drinks however fell short. My hubby got an old fashioned and we'll see the photo of the pink concoction he got that tasted like cinnamon. Maybe it's a regional thing but he's an avid old fashioned drinker and well it was like nothing we've had before. We then ordered monk-aritas to take the place and those tasted like pure sweet and sour. They had a good looking beer list so probably should have went that way. Food was great though- no complaints there.

We had friends with us for the 4th weekend and decided to finally give it a try.The place always looks busy and has a huge outdoor patio,and live music on the weekends (Wednesday through Sunday right now).We were very surprised it wasn't very busy given the Holiday weekend,but it allowed us to get a table right away.We were seated immediately and our server was prompt(she was it seems, also training someone).We ordered our beverages and then ordered,what else,but a traditional Friday night Fish fry that had large side option choices too. In no time at all she brought out 5 fish fries that were hot and fresh and some really good coleslaw too boot.The batter was crispy and the cod inside really had a great flavor(sometimes not the case) and breadsticks instead of the traditional rye bread,a pleasant change. Needless to say ,it didn't take long to finish off our orders.All in all a very pleasant experience, and good food to boot.We now have another great choice for a fish fry close by us in the Dells to go too.Good job,pretty decent menu selection as well, but that'll have to be for another time.Worth stopping for ,for sure.

    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.

We saw a mother & baby deer right across from us and a whole family of geese with their gosling. We loved the place so much, we came back 2 days later for lunch before leaving the area. Take the Distillery tour & buy some amazing infused balsamic vinegars, oils, bourbon, brandy, bourbon BBQ sauce, scented candles & other before leaving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

You do get to try up to five tastings of your choice, which was nice since you can double up on a tasting if you really enjoy the taste.

The cool thing is if you arrive earlier to your tasting, you can bring the drink with during the tour. I love the atmosphere and really enjoyed the tour guide!
