The River Walk Pub is an American standard fare dining option in the heart of downtown Wisconsin Dells. The deck overlooks part of the Wisconsin River. The Dells River Walk itself is out back. The pub has a separate outside bar with seating, and if you're lucky cornhole aka bags for passing the time should you encounter a wait. There is a huge parking lot if you're driving in. The restaurant is very close to the other downtown Dells attractions so you can come by other modes sans vehicle. The wood cabin aesthetic is soothing. As for photos I have not posted any because you'd see primarily happy people with empty nacho plates in the pics. My parties always get the nachos supreme and they are all that they should be. Warm, plentiful, loaded, multi colored chips, salsa and sour cream on the side. The only restaurant nachos I order. We are always full after nachos but have entrées coming. My Caribbean mahi was on point and pub fish being done well is a kudos to this place. Kickin Chicken and an array of other sandwiches over the past couple of years have been tried. Everyone cleans their plates. Rating this four out of five, slightly cosigning things other people have said-things could be a bit better. The time or two a mixed alcoholic drink was ordered there was little discernible alcohol. Service is spotty. May have to ask for appetizer plates. Or silverware. Or refills. Bathroom could be a bit fresher. Yes you're seated on the deck next to other tables without a buffer zone. Of all the places in the Dells, and if you want to avoid a chain restaurant, this is certainly worth your time. EDIT: I see that my check ins did not show on my review. I went to my camera and pictures of loved ones (and empty nacho plates) and the check ins history here on Yelp. This review is based on two visits in June 2020, one from September 2021, and one in June 2022. Again I would consider this slightly elevated pub food. Totally serviceable and worth checking out. Review the menu online and then stop in and see for yourself.

after taking a wonderful 2 hour upper dells boat cruise with my mate.......we went to river walk pub.....we had went earlier to split a sandwich & watch the boats travel up & down the river from the patio dinning.....when we returned afterward to relax with an appetizer and beverage.......since it was walking distance from hotel....we were welcomed by Lace/bartender....what a friendly, fun young lady.....we totally enjoyed talking with her as we learned more about their specials, and discounts appitizers. We decide to order salmon dip with chips from Angel/Bartender, he was also a pleasure to talk with.....we totally enjoyed our evening at this restaurant....what charm.....and view overlooking the river was just beautiful.....thank You....Lace & Angel for making these 2 out of towner enjoy their last nite in your beautiful river city. your professional attitudes and kindness were perfect to end our busy day.......also their menu has many choices.....just a really unique beautiful restaurant with that clean, beautiful rustic charm....... thank you again.....AAAAA+++++

We ate outside on the long patio that faced the beautiful water view. Service was fast and friendly. Husband got wings while I went with a Nashvile Hot chicken sandwich. It wasn't too hot and nicely cooked. The bun was surprisingly tasty, too. This place is well worth a visit.

This is a MUST STOP in the Dells! I've ordered avocado toast all over the country and so far, this was the best :) The environment and waitstaff also excellent, we had the pleasure of being served by Alshain.. terrific! The prime rib shaved sandwich was also perfectly prepared! Thank you for making my son's birthday lunch one to remember. Great Job all around.

The stuffed mushrooms tasted better than the actual food. I had the caprese chicken burger and it was a bit dry and fries were cold. Server didnt make it no better with his non chalant attitude. I understand if your having a bad night but at least he could have asked how's your food or this or that. Overall I would give it another chance but not on my top list to try again.

This is a really great place. It's off the main drag, but only by a block, and well worth the short walk. The interior is almost like coming into a treehouse, with rustic timber construction and a gorgeous bar carved from a tree which makes me want to know more about this history of this place. I came in shortly after the lunch crush on Labor Day weekend, and though I'm sure the staff must have been tired from the the holiday weekend Sunday crowd, the bartender (Lace) was superb. She was personable and recommended an amazing stout, which I ordered for the rest of the afternoon. It's always a big plus to go to a big place and have a bartender who, even between busy shitfs, was very friendly and engaging and attentive. I unfortunately had some deadlines and was taking a break from camping to get some work done, and she was very accommodating and welcoming, not annoyed that I was at the end of the bar with my laptop working (and watching football). When wifi dropped out and I had to settle up and was prepped to leave, Angel had just come on shift and was able to add a separate wifi channel (b/c resetting the wifi wasn't an opiton; it would've knocked out their POS (point of sale) system). It worked like a charm and enabled me to unpack and finish my work and watch my game. Regardless of my unfortunate digital needs (but hey, beats the hell out of my home office), it's a gorgeous bar, with a great outdoor deck with a view of the river. Highly recommended!

Yum! Our food was pretty great. The kids burgers were very good size & my burger "Hangover" & my wife's Steak Salad were very filing. Our waiter was great ! I love the inside it's super rustic & has exposed timbers. Our only thought is the Blue Cheese dressing needs to be more Blue Cheese like. This is the 2nd in this area that doesn't taste like Blue Cheese dressing . Im not sure whats going on with that. But overall this place is Awesome!

We took a walk along the Riverwalk and stopped here for lunch. We got right in and were seated out on the patio. It was a beautiful day, the staff was nice and friendly. The food was delicious and decently priced. The drinks were great. We would definitely go back. Very peaceful afternoon. With very beautiful views

We stopped in for a quick lunch and stroll on the adjacent river walk. We were on our way to Minnesota and it’s an easy access off the interstate, maybe 1.5 mi. We had our dog and they were extremely accommodating at one of the many outdoor shaded tables. They even brought the pooch water. The brat burger was excellent! Service was superb.

Food was pretty good. We were on the outside patio so had a nice view. Seemed understaffed so service was a little slow.

Great deck, good food, and good service. Deck has beautiful food and great live music...right on the lake. Really cool, rustic looking bar but the seats in the bar are uncomfortable. Bar stools are made of wood and no cushioning. Bar is very loud when crowded. Outside seats are more comfortable. Prices are a little high but the food is good.

I enjoyed dinning here. The location is great, the restaurant is located by the riverside and the views are great as you dine. The outdoor seating was perfect and clean. Service was very good and staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food was better than I had expected and the drinks were great as well. I would definitely recommend eating here and taking a nice walk along the riverside after dinner. I felt welcomed and safe here from the moment I walked in the door. For me, the highlight of this restaurant was the service and staff, they have done a great job hiring the right people who are customer service oriented.

Stopped by as their patio seating looked great online. It was a nice overlook though food and service mediocre. Waitress got order wrong. We ordered three burgers of different varieties. They fixed it fast, though still an inconvenience. I'd swing by again for a drink or some apps to take in the views.

We sat outside on the patio. The view of the river walk was so beautiful. No complaints about anything here. The staff and food was phenomenal.
