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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Kaminski's Chophouse offers "amazing food and service," with standout dishes like the filet mignon and risotto. The "exquisite experience" includes attentive staff and a cozy atmosphere. While some find it pricey, the "huge portions" and sharing sides ensure value. Perfect for special occasions, it's a "must-go" in Wisconsin Dells.

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.

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.

Steak was average and certainly didn’t fit their claim of “where size matters”. Not worth the money we spent and we were so excited to try this restaurant. At least 4 Steakhouse’s in Chicago are superior

Dear Rob, Thank you for sharing your review with us. We're sorry you weren't satisfied with your meal, and we'll pass your comments on to our chef so we can continue to improve our menu offerings.

At 1st we were very excited to return back to Kaminski's Chophouse, have been there several times and will not ever return, We waited for our main meal for 1 1/2 hours, it was ridiculous, when our food finally arrived the hashbrown that costs $14 for 2 were so burnt and dried out you could not eat them so we went them back . The manager came over and told us he would take it off the bill, which he never did. Couldn't wait to get out of there, was so frustrated I didn't even look at the bill. We had a great day until we ate at the Kaminski's Chophouse. So disappointed. I am trying to head you off at the path. I suggest the Dell Bar for a excellent meal.
Kaminski's ChophouseResponded on 15 October 2024
Dear Cathleen, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It’s disheartening to hear about your recent experience, especially since you were looking forward to your visit. Delays in service and the quality of the food certainly should not detract from a dining experience, and it’s concerning to know that your expectations were not met. We understand that you spoke with our General Manager and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

The manager sat us at our table in a 1/2 empty restaurant. We sat in our booth with no water or anyone coming by to ask us for drinks etc for at least 15 minutes. When the server came by, she apologized because she said nobody told her we were her table. We finally got water and drinks and then the service was okay...not stellar but okay. The server came by with the "steak cart" to show us our options. When I asked if the meat was prime she said no, it was Choice. For the "best steak house in the Wisconsin Dells" to serve choice meat at Prime prices, this was truly disappointing. We ordered the house salad and it was absolutely fantastic! Our food came at a good pace after the delicious salad, and everything was luke warm! We didn't complain because it was getting late and we didn't want to wait for everything to be remade. Waited more time to get our check (restaurant was empty by then) and their suggested tip amounts were based on the entire bill, not the 1/2 that we split with our friends. So that's a lot of detail, but I'd say Pass on this one if you are in the Dells.
Kaminski's ChophouseResponded on 15 October 2024
Dear Jill, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. It’s clear there were some highs, like the fantastic house salad, but we’re sorry to hear about the service delays and the disappointment with the steak. Your experience doesn’t reflect the standard we aim for, and we’ll be addressing these concerns with our team. We appreciate your insights and will work to improve for future guests.
