The Tavern Restaurant

The service is absolutely terrible. I have been sitting here waiting for fish fry going on 2 hours now. I had to flag the server just to take my order after sitting here for an hour alone. I highly recommend going elsewhere for dinner. The prices are way too expensive for the quality of food. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER COME TO THIS PLACE!

Im a local and wanted to try the friday fish advertised at 2 pieces for 9.95, it was ok but small. I did not expect much for the price but if it wasn't for the marginal salad bar I would have left pretty hungry. My lady had the same and I could tell she did not care for it. The waiter was not overly busy but very hard to find and kind of rude. The place itself is very nice but I would be hard pressed to return.

We booked reservations but didn't need them. $4 extra for salad bar with the special. We waited an hour for our food which was a bluegill and fish fry specials. A table of bachelorettes who were seated well after us received their food ahead of us. Will never come here again and worse yet will tell everyone we know to stay away. Love

This was our favorite restaurant when visiting the Dells. The staff is excellent and the food is excellent. I highly recommend it when visiting the Dells.

This place is a joke. Gave me raw prime ribs and took it back then just put it in the flat cooker. Primeribs was tasteless and price was way too expensive. And the salad bar you inly get about 7 topping to choose from. The dinner roll was hard as a rock. I am very surprised this place survived.

Tried the Tavern again. MUCH better! Nice salad bar. Drinks were good. Bartender Kelly did a great job. Fish was sooooooo much better. Well done! We will be back.

We came to The Tavern because we were staying at Chula Vista Resort for my daughters 8th birthday. The restaurant insisted we make reservations although when we arrived NO ONE ELSE was there. We should have taken this as a sign, but stayed. We opted to sit outside because the inside of the restaurant smelled like a gym locker room. It took at least 20 mins for our waiter come to our table. I ordered a drink from their "specialty cocktails" called a blue chair Ricky, which was a simple coconut rum and Pepsi. My husband ordered a Summit and my kids, two pops. After 10 mins, waiter had to come back to clarify my order??? So after 20 mins we finally got our drinks. My husband and I added the "salad bar" for $4 a piece....don't waste your money!! 4 pasta salad options and chopped romaine is about all it amounts to. Wait....I should be fair....there was also warm cottage cheese. It took a normal amount of time to our food to come out. I ordered the scampi, my husband the fish n chips, and my kids the Mac n cheese and cheeseburger from the kids menu. My scampi was simple and very tasteless, my kids food was ok and my husband liked his fish n chips. It took 45 mins and my husband having to go find our waiter before anyone checked on us. When the waiter finally came to our table, we were completely done with our food and had been for some time. We ordered 3 desserts for my daughters birthday. I told the host it was her birthday and had now told our waiter it was her birthday. We ordered another round of drinks....and waited...and waited...and waited. Finally, a waitress came out with our desserts but set them down at the wrong table. To our shock and awe, the people at that table ATE OUR DESSERTS!!! They knew they'd been given they'd been given the wrong tables food - we were the only other table seated outside (perhaps in the entire restaurant) - and they sat there and ate the food anyway. My daughter was heartbroken as she watched overweight, old people who knew they were wrong, laugh about how good the desserts were as they ate them. When our waiter finally showed his face again, he realized what had happened. As we were speaking to him about it, the other table of patrons interrupted from across the patio and started yelling at us and our waiter!!! This fat old man who ate my daughters birthday desserts started yelling at US about how life is short and we shouldn't be complaining. I was appalled. As if that wasn't bad enough, that patron - WHO ATE MY 8YR OLDS BIRTHDAY DESSERT - asked to speak to a manager and then proceeded to complain about us!!! They all stood there - the group at the table, the manager and their waitress - staring at us and talking about us as if we weren't 20ft away. It then took another 20mins to get our desserts - a monster cookie, a cheesecake, and a brownie - all of which clearly came from the freezer because the taste of freezer burn was unmistakeable. The experience was not only horrific, but it was humiliating for my family just trying to celebrate my daughters birthday. The desserts weren't comp'd even though our waiter said they would be. We paid and literally RAN out. It was perhaps the most awful experience dining out that my family has ever had. At to make it worse - it's extremely overpriced. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!!

Beautiful building and layout! The service was excellent! We started with a large order of cheese curds. They were absolutely delicious, fried to just the right temperature and accompanied with some sort of deviation of ranch dressing. My children split their briscuit burger. I did not try it, but they said it was good. It could have used some additional beef, but being we are in Wisconsin Dells prices it was as expected. I had the veggie burger. While tasty, I felt that $13 was steep. Overall pretty good food with a nice atmosphere and exceptional staff.

I had high hopes for this place, when we were sat there was flies all around our booth which the server didn't even seem to mind. My husband and I asked to be moved so we were. We looked at the menu and decided to go with prime rib hash. The food came fairly quickly, when we saw it we were very disappointed. We weren't expecting a mountain of prime rib but we literally received like 6 pieces of meat! $14 item was not worth the money at all!!! We would've gone to ihop or Denny's anywhere else but we had to stay here for a presentation. The flies didn't even let us enjoy our meal, we had to keep swatting at them. I'm shocked that no one that works here can make it a mission to just grab a fly swagger and kill them. So disappointed.

By far the worst experience I've ever had. To start, our waitress was not very knowledgeable about how to handle a bill with a large group. She had to check 3x with the manager on how to handle a large table.Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive.Throughout the course of the night, not 1 single thing was removed from our table.Our appetizer plates & empty cups sat there the whole time. There wasn't room for anything.The food was horrible! Not 1 person in our group of 18 was satisfied with their meal. The waitress was not tentative to any of us. Not once did she check & see if we needed anything else.We had to walk to the bar if we wanted more water.To top it off-she gave herself a $60 tip! I will never ever EVER go back. And I don't recommend it!
