On this trip through Wisconsin and Michigan, we remembered a rule we had kind of forgotten recently- ASK THE LOCALS!
When we first got to the Dells area, we saw a flyer for a local place where your food is brought out to your table by a model train. In fact, we saw several ads for this place in magazines. This place looked like a lot of fun so we went.
BEFORE we went, we did ask some locals in the area about that restaurant. Without being rude, the locals strongly suggested that we try the Brat House instead.
Well, we went to the other place and it was disappointing. The food and service were not that good. So, we went to the Brat House for dinner. We had a VERY different experience there.
First off, the Brat House is in a very historic building. I love that kind of thing. It is in many ways a simple bar, but the site has witnessed a lot of history.
The feel at the Brat House is a family friendly bar. It is a bar, but it isn't rowdy at all.
The food was GREAT! We were all more than happy with our brats and I had a great bowl of soup too!
For what its worth, our bill at the Brat House was half the price of our bill at the other place. Also, our server got twice the tip our server at the other place got.
Speaking of the server..... The guy at the Brat House was GREAT! We were talking at our table about going to Stand Rock. He over heard us and went and got a map for us! He made great suggestions about the menu, and he was on the ball.
The Brat House was simply very satisfying. It reminded us that going to the smaller local places is a better all around experience than going to some of the flashier, closer to the Highway, type places. Its a better value too!http://brathousedells.com/
