For nearly four decades, Pizza Pub has been serving some of the hottest and freshest pizza slices in the Dells. From homemade dough made fresh daily, to a secret sauce recipe that has been tantalizing your taste buds since 1983, Pizza Pub truly delivers some of the best bites around. Literally, they deliver. They deliver to your house, your hotel, your workplace, and more. You name it and chances are they got it covered. That’s because Pizza Pub has the largest delivery area in the Wisconsin Dells/Lake Delton area and the best part - delivery is FREE!
While we know that everyone loves delivery, the years of quarantining have left many of us eager to get back to the classic tradition of dining in. Pizza Pub is here for it with a stylish, newly remodeled interior. The remodel goes far beyond a fresh coat of paint as the entire atmosphere has transformed into a sleek, stylish, and inviting oasis for all ages. From spacious, plump, high-backed booths to traditional tables, Pizza Pub has had the glow-up we never knew it needed. And let’s not overlook the gorgeous new bar remodel too. Rich wood flooring, sleek, chic seating, and the perfect amount of warm retro-modern lighting. We say sit back, relax, and order another round. Mealtime can be your time to shine by mixing your favorite flavors to top their homemade pizza dough. Order up your own creations on their thin or pan-style crusts or go all out with The Big Kahuna. This 20” hand-tossed pie is large enough to knock out nearly all of those huge vacation appetites. If you’re not sure what toppings and flavors are calling to you, a few of our locally recommended hits are Bacon Double Cheeseburger, Buffalo Chicken, and Mac N’ Cheese. We guarantee that any of these flavors will satisfy all of your cravings. There’s always that one picky eater - don’t sweat it - Pizza Pub’s got it covered. Their menu has a wide selection of appetizers and entrées to choose from. Wings, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, chicken, and dessert. No matter what food mood you’re in, Pizza Pub offers something to satisfy any palate. With a whole smorgasbord of mouthwatering options, it’s no wonder Pizza Pub has remained a Wisconsin Dells favorite for so many years.

When you start experiencing those hangry feelings slowly welling up in your belly, and your fitness tracker is congratulating you on your 20,000 steps for the day, you deserve way better than a glorified sack lunch. You and your family deserve to spoil yourselves some…you’re on vacation after all! Besides, a day running around the waterpark calls for some real, stomach-filling, delight your senses, and make-your-mouth-water kind of food – the kind you can find plenty of at B-LUX Grill & Bar! Located in the heart of the Dells along the Wisconsin Dells Parkway, B-LUX offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience, crafting fresh, locally sourced ingredients into tantalizing appetizers, hearty entrées, and scrumptious sides that are a feast for your eyes and stomach. This friendly, family-owned Dells staple offers spacious, modern indoor dining and plentiful outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot to indulge in any number of their modern twists on American classics. For example, try sinking your teeth into the B-LUX Doublestack – a pair of thick patties stacked with crisp bacon, cheddar cheese, American cheese, pulled pork & a fried egg, all placed precariously atop the signature B-LUX bun.
Chase that beautiful burger with a frosty mug of B-LUX House Brew and you might just feel like you are in hamburger heaven! If burgers aren’t your thing, B-LUX has your cravings covered with a fresh and modern menu that will satiate appetites both large and small. An eclectic mix of tasty options are at your fingertips, from tasty wraps and steak sandwiches to fish tacos and chicken ranch mac & cheese. Just make sure you save room for dessert because you’re going to want one of B-LUX’s irresistible ice cream shakes. Kids go bananas for the crazy, eye-popping specialty shakes like the B-LUX Donut Shake; a Nutella shake topped with a whole glazed donut, chocolate sauce, and a generous amount of sprinkles. No need for jealousy, parents. B-LUX had you in mind when they crafted their famous hard shakes. Break out that ID and get ready for a boozy brain freeze. And speaking of brain freeze, why not slurp down the Kentucky Brainfreeze, made with smooth ice cream, creamy caramel, peanut butter, and a kicker of Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky. It might just leave you feeling a little cold, a little warm, and just the right amount of tingly. So remember, come hungry, wear your stretchy pants, and get ready to eat like you’ve never eaten before! As always, B-LUX is sure to leave your belly simply satisfied. Just be sure to snap a quick pic before you dive in, because this perfectly plated meal is guaranteed to be an Instagram-worthy memory you won’t want to forget! visitwisconsindells.com

Riverfront Rendezvous
Whether you are here for a fun-filled family vacation, a romantic couples getaway, or even just a solo adventure, the Dells welcomes everyone. After you wander the attractions, slide the slides, ride the rides, and shop til you drop, some peace and relaxation might be calling your name. Let The Boathouse (located inside the VUE hotel) be your quiet respite away from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic Downtown Dells. Located just a few short blocks from Downtown Dells perched above the Wisconsin River, The Boathouse offers a privately picturesque riverscape and modern dining experience. Inside this chic, modern, restaurant you’ll be treated to luxurious riverside views and elegant meals. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to dine in style as you gaze over the tranquil flowing waters from sunrise to sunset. At breakfast, wrap your hands around your favorite Starbucks beverage while you enjoy a savory dish of Eggs Benedict and hash browns. The lunch menu offers a range of appetizers, sandwiches, and fresh salads. It’s hard to go wrong with a crisp House Salad packed with Arcadian greens and generously topped with ripe cherry tomatoes, tangy red onions, and crunchy cucumbers. As an added bonus, famished Wisconsin River goers have the option to dock their boat at the private dock and head straight to the patio for a few hours to grab a drink, a bite to eat, or the perfect combination of both! Dinner at The Boathouse as the sun sets is a beautiful affair. Delight your eyes with the view of a painted sunset as you savor the bold flavors of upscale American classics like Shrimp Cocktails, 8oz. Sirloins, and Fettuccine Alfredo. For the seafood lover, the Pan Seared Walleye dressed in cucumber dill aioli and paired with a side of creamy sweet pea risotto and tender broccolini is a can’t-miss tasting experience. To most, the perfect ending to any dining experience is winding down with a glass of your favorite wine or spirit in hand. Move your drinks and conversation outside as you rest in the warm summer sun and cool river breeze on the spacious and stunning Boathouse patio! With an impressive 1200 square feet of additional outdoor space, ample seating for up to 80 guests, and an outdoor bar serving fine spirits, this newest upgrade will allow patrons to experience all the grandeur and beauty of the Dells just the way nature intended – up close and personal! No matter what time of day, The Boathouse offers classic Wisconsin Dells views of sandstone cliffs, and the gently flowing Wisconsin River.

We made it through the chilly temperatures of winter in Wisconsin, where we dreamt of warm sun rays kissing our skin with a healthy summer glow. Finally, it’s time to turn that dream into a reality as you lounge poolside at Wisconsin’s only 21+ resort, EDGE-ODELLS Bar and Resort. Starting in April and going through the end of October, the vibe is more like a Vegasstyle pool party than your typical family camping destination or waterpark resort. So lay back, order a specialty drink (or three), and enjoy all that Edge-O-Dells has to offer! Enjoy top-notch amenities such as a pool, hot tub, fire pit, volleyball courts, three bars, a restaurant, live music five nights a week, and a full band on the weekends.

ALL AMERICAN
K T H E B LO C
When you've had a long day of exploring the ins and outs of Downtown Dells, add one more stop on the corner of Broadway & Oak St for a culinary experience that you've got to taste to believe. The cuisine from High Rock Cafe is best described as modern American, in other words, they put a new and flavorful twist on classic American dishes. Their take on nachos is no exception. The wildly exciting Korean Pork Nachos come fully loaded with Korean pulled pork, melted cheese, house-pickled cabbage, edamame, scallions, a sunny-side-up egg, and firecracker sauce all over a crunchy bed of house-fried corn tortilla chips. Make the most of your dish by pairing it with one of High Rock’s signature cocktails and mocktails or choose from their impressive list of wine and beer. After you’ve had your fill of tasty shareables, it’s time to move on to the main course. And what could be better than…meatloaf? You might be thinking “a lot of things” and you couldn’t be more wrong! High Rock’s All American is a meatloaf dish that transforms that old family flop into a fan favorite. Starting off with a house-ground beef and bacon base, this meatloaf is studded with cheddar cheese, then baked, and smothered in their big kid mac & cheese. The whole creation is then plated atop freshly sautéed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes in demi gravy for a complete ensemble that will have you wishing you could have seconds. We would say we saved the best for last, but everything on the menu is fighting for first place flavor champion. However, the signature High Rock Kit Kat is a one-of-a-kind dessert you just won’t find anywhere else. If you think it looks good, wait until your first bite. Rich creamy chocolate and peanut butter ganache melt together in a flawless flavor symphony with flaky house-made Kit Kat wafers, sweet vanilla ice cream, fluffy whipped cream, and ribbons of chocolate and caramel sauce. At High Rock, you can expect a quality experience every time you walk in the door. They are passionate about creating mouth-watering recipes and unique flavor combinations everyone can enjoy. They offer a culinary experience in every dish and drink they serve, making High Rock one of the best must-eat restaurants in the Dells area. 16

Sizzling Summer If you are ready for a sizzling summer then head on over to Hot Rocks. When we say sizzling, we don’t just mean soaking up those glorious golden rays outside, but rather experiencing mouthwatering cuts of meat, savory seafood, and fresh veggies searing and sizzling to perfection on a 750-degree lava stone. If you’re not familiar with this unique dining style, it’s time to head on over to Hot Rocks to get your tiki on, because here you’ll get a fullblown, one-of-a-kind dining experience unlike any other place in town. Hot Rocks has the culinary spectrum well-covered, with delicious menu offerings like fresh Salmon Filet, rich Filet Mignon, delicate Lobster Tail, and tender Rack of Lamb Lollipops. With so many scrumptious selections you’ll want to try everything on the menu, but save room for dessert. Go from sizzling to shivering with the famous Hot Rocks Fudge Volcano dessert. Served on a frozen lava rock you will be chilled by layers of lava cake, ice cream, waffle cones, and chocolate fudge. Now that’s one perfectly sweet treat to beat the summer heat.

And while the rocks might be hot, you don’t have to be. Keep cool in the new island-themed tiki room. If you’ve been soaking up the sun all day long, the tiki room provides an air-conditioned oasis for your sun-kissed skin to catch a break. Don’t worry-you’ll get the same warm tropical vibes but none of the sunburn. In fact, with a fruity Tiki Punch in hand, you might just forget that you’re in the Dells. And for those of you chanting “Bring on the heat!”, be sure to request outdoor seating on the anything-but-ordinary veranda. With its gently burning fire pits, vibrant tiki totems, and freshly updated lounge space, it will get your beach mood kicking into full gear. At Hot Rocks, vacation mode is always on.

If you have a preference for Bourbon, Ishnala also carries their premier Single Barrel Bourbon as a perfect substitute as well. For the wine connoisseur, Ishnala offers a large collection of fine wines including two crafted by Wollersheim Winery, which you can only find at Ishnala. Settle in with the full-bodied Ishnala Private Reserve Red Blend with overtones of lush blackberries and black cherries that has a slightly spicy oak finish.

They say that swimming burns around 250 calories in just 30 minutes. While this might be owing to a rigorous routine, even just walking, splashing, bobbing, or sliding around the resorts and water parks is sure to require loads of energy. One of the best (and most delicious) ways to top off your body’s own fuel tank is to load up on the All-You-Can-Eat Lumberjack Breakfast from Paul Bunyan’s Cook Shanty. For over 60 years and five generations, the Cook Shanty has been serving up some of the freshest family-style breakfast in town.

adness!!! Mi Whether you choose to sweat it out in the sun or cool down in the comfortable AC, nothing is more refreshing than an ice-cold margarita on a blisteringly-hot summer day.
SAN ANTONIO MEXICAN RESTAURANT
is just the spot to get your margarita fix. Sure, you can order the classic, but if you have the urge to sail into uncharted territory, you can wrestle up some friends and share the mega-sized 6-liter margarita! And for the one who just can’t make up their mind, why not try all the flavored options available in the margarita flight. Chances are you want to hush that growling stomach and put your nearly unquenchable thirst to bed. If you are looking for a real challenge, then step forward and order the 6-liter margarita to share. Dubbed “the largest margarita in the Midwest” this behemoth is a sight to behold and drink. Photos don’t do it justice. You just have to experience it for yourself! If you aren’t feeling quite that ambitious, they also offer a 4-liter cantarito, a tequila-based cocktail, similar to a paloma and served in a clay jar that helps keep the drink perfectly chilled. On a hot day in the company of good friends, you can’t go wrong either way. After cooling off with a refreshing marg or cantarito, you can enjoy some delicious, traditional, and authentic Mexican food made with fresh ingredients. If you aren’t sure what to order, one of the favorites among Dells locals is called Tampiqueña - steak served with a cheese enchilada topped
with red sauce and even more cheese. No wonder it’s loved by so many Wisconsinites! Another favorite is the Molcajate. It is like a fajita but served in its namesake special dish called a molcajate! Whether you want to indulge in some traditional Mexican meals or attempt to drain the 6-liter margarita with your pals, San Antonio is a local favorite that belongs on every Dells vacation itinerary! visitwisconsindells.com 35
Lovin’ Lake Life THE
Summer House Grill & Bar has invited people to chill on their back patio for nearly four summers now. The tradition lives on as each year becomes a unique and memorable experience. Something about dining outdoors with a picturesque view of the Lake Delton waterfront makes fresh dishes and refreshing cocktails even more enjoyable. The whole sensory package of sound, sight, smell, and taste come together as a beautiful symphony at Summer House. Savor the flavor of the delightfully summer-themed menu as you take in the audible and visual tranquility of the sunny lakeshore property. This summer the opportunity to unwind only grows with their recent addition of a shipping bar, coined lovingly as “The Dock”. Whether you are a tourist seeking a laid-back vacation or a local looking to escape for the night in your own city, The Dock promises to offer an ambiance unlike any other. The outdoor bar is the perfect space for groups to begin their night by sipping on hand-crafted cocktails in a toast to good weather, great friends, and future memories. The Dock features appetizers, entrées, beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails. Drink in hand, the festoon lighting will entrance you and suddenly all your woes will melt away for the night. Just when you thought your dining experience couldn’t get any better, in comes a night of live entertainment. While the lakeside ambiance is top-notch, we can’t go without raving about the delectable food selection as well. From apps like Crispy Calamari to the rich, flavorful Walleye Fillet main dish, Summer House has fantastic seafood options you won’t get anywhere else in the Dells. Dive into the coastal flavors of their Peel & Eat Shrimp, beer-boiled shrimp drenched in spices and served with cocktail sauce and spicy mayo. If you aren’t a seafood lover, you might be enticed by one of their other summer-inspired plates. Bite into the not-so-ordinary Grilled Chicken Sandwich to experience the flavors of fresh, peppery arugula and bright avocado-lime sauce. Get the best of both worlds with a magnificent view that feeds the soul and flavorful dishes that feed that hungry stomach. We’ve all seen the increase in demand for outdoor seating during the warm weather months, and Summer House has ample seating on its deck. Specially designed for the best waterfront dining experience The Dock at Summer House offers more than just a meal or blended cocktail. Restaurant goers will be immersed in an unbeatable summer atmosphere. Grab a table on The Dock, enjoy the live music, and let the warm breeze dance through your hair.
