Wisconsin Dells / Lake Delton

About the restaurant

The year was 1943, and Jim and Alice Wimmer decided to take a big risk, buying a small existing roadside restaurant known for its char-broiled steaks. How fitting that in 2018, the restaurant's 75th anniversary year, the third generation of Wimmers, Amy Wimmer, takes the helm from her father Jeff and his wife Jane, bringing her own adventurous spirit to the Del-Bar, the same kind of spirit she so admired in her grandparents. Rich History • 75 Years & 3 Generations • Award Winning Cuisine While flattering comparisons to steakhouses in Chicago and New York are regularly made by visitors, Amy Wimmer still cherishes this restaurant, her family restaurant, as one-of-a-kind.

Yes! A definite yes! If you’re like me and like new restaurants which smell and look amazing and are not run down, this is a place for you. This restaurant is where history meets charm, a place with great esthetics, with a story to tell. Super attentive and well trained, friendly staff and food cooked with love. Stop by and visit this gem in Baraboo! We came across this while traveling on I90 from MN. Usually it’s in and out type of a dinner when we travel by car, but when we got here, we did not want to leave. The greeters were attentive. Our server Dim was super impressive. As someone who worked in the restaurant I can tell that the management puts a lot of time into training. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We are marking this to be our spot for trips on I 90. Try their cheese curds, prime rib bruschetta. They can hold a private party, have a lovely back deck where you can dine. A speakeasy bar for those who crave some mystery in their life. You might want to stay…

Steakhouse

Wisconsin Dells

About the restaurant

Through an exclusive arrangement with the nation’s premier meat supplier, we offer corn-fed, dry-aged, center-cut beef, inspected and selected by master butchers. When the beef arrives, we refrigerate it in a perfectly calibrated environment until the moment it enters our custom-designed broilers – each capable of reaching up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Over the top? Not if you want the kind of char that steak lovers dream about. Not if you want to serve a steak that has no equal. Welcome to the great steak of Wisconsin.

The same dedication to quality explains why we deal with only the best seafood suppliers, why we procure locally sourced meats and produce whenever possible, and why we have created one of Wisconsin’s truly great wine lists. It also explains our insistence on providing the Dells’ most accomplished level of service in a truly comfortable environment overlooking the Wisconsin River.

Great food. Service could be a little fast but overall we were very pleased with food and service. We ended up eating here two nights since the entire family enjoyed the food.
