Our family of 4 dined here tonight and split the tomahawk board with a few appetizers to start with. Everything was excellent! Crab cakes, yum, classic and 2-bite size. The teenagers wolfed down the mini tacos and my husband added their Caesar salad to his top Five list. The tomahawk is what we were here for…it did NOT disappoint! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband said the shrimp were delicious and cooked to perfection. The sides on this board matched the level of the steak. The stars of the night were the mashed potatoes and the asparagus. Those potatoes, my gosh, so good! DC, you should know you’re doing something right when the kids ask to finish the asparagus. This was a delicious treat, We will definitely be back.

A group of my girlfriends and I went out to eat for my birthday and we had such a great experience. Not only was the food and drinks amazing, but so was our service. Our server was so sweet and attentive, and they gave us free champagne for my birthday which was so nice! I would highly recommend Buck and honeys for any occasion!

It was our first time and everything was amazing. We went for our daughter’s 5th Birthday and they gave us a wonderful table, tucked away. They also comp’d her dessert which was very generous. We will definitely be back.

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.

Great good and atmosphere! We had a great dinner.
