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.

We visited The Del-Bar last night and we’re glad we did. Cool vibe to the place, service was very good, and so was the food. We’ll visit again if we’re in the area.

We are repeat customers, for many years. As Del-Bar has grown & expanded, it has lost none of its quality of service, excellence of food, nor the original ambiance created by Jimmy!

Everything was great! Service is impeccable from the front door/hostess to the bar to the table service. Our server, Liz, was fantastic. She was informative, friendly, efficient and fun. She is a valuable asset to the restaurant. Food was delicious and prices are in line with similar restaurants. We had been to Del-Bar once before and there have been renovations which really enhance the experience and do not take anything away from it. The new front bar/lounge area with the fireplace is so warm and welcoming. You have a beautiful facility, one of the nicest in Wisconsin!
