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.

Excellent service, clean and safe restaurant. Manager on site greeted and seated us . The quality of food is very good and portions are generous. Our baked potato was fully cooked but served lukewarm. Same with mashed potato. We only addressed the baked potato issue to our server. Immediately our server was apologetic, fixed the problem and remove it from our bill. We appreciate their effort and plan on returning .

We’ve been enjoying Kaminski’s for over 10 years. As a frequent visitor to many steakhouses in my hometown Chicago, I’ve always appreciated the excellent quality of this remote steakhouse in the scenic surroundings along the Wisconsin river. The quality remains as good as ever, but the prices, as in Chicago steakhouses, have just gotten too high. I’ve cut way back from my 1-2 monthly visits to Chi-town steakhouses because prices have risen at least 50% since before Covid. Now I have to do the same in visits to the Dells area. During previous 3+ day visits, I’d ideally dine at Kaminski’s and Ishnala for two of those nights. Now I can only justify maybe one of them per visit. I’m hopeful Kaminski can keep costs down without sacrificing their caliber. IMO, they have the finest cuts of all the steakhouses in the area and the Dells would be lesser without them. But $400+ for three steaks, salads and drinks is just too much.

Dear Paul, You pay us the greatest compliment by returning to enjoy our dining offerings. However, we are saddened to hear of your disappointment regarding our pricing. We are committed to providing fine dining for our valued guests to enjoy, and we appreciate you sharing both your positive comments and your constructive remarks.

Steak and vegetables were excellent, but hashbrowns were a bit greasy. The crème brûlée was awful. overcooked, super thick with pockets of gel in them - way overcooked. I was so disappointed because it was our anniversary celebration and this is my favorite dessert.

Ordered steaks and a 24 once lobster tail to share. Lobster came out burnt —- tough as shoe leather. Waiter knew it and already said he ordered a replacement- not his fault. But took 20 minutes plus and other food was getting cold - so we ate our steaks and sides - but when the replacement lobster came out —— dinner was kind of over - wasn’t the same —— waiter offered some desert but was bummed- for a $600 dinner for 4.

Went for 25th wedding anniversary dinner. Have been looking forward to it since I booked the reservation as we do not traditionally spend a lot of money going out. Was very disappointed by our waiter unfortunately. The ladies that were clearing tables and filling waters spent more time attending us than our waiter did. He did not ask if we wanted any drink refills even after waiting for some time to get our first drinks, we were not offered bread like the other tables did, just in general he was not around. I was looking forward to the experience as much as the food and it sadly wasn’t delivered.
