Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Middleton

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.

We celebrated a birthday last night at Liberty Station. The waitress was amazing and ensured that we had plenty of food and beverages while also giving us time to spend together. The BBQ food was obviously smoked well and the flavor was amazing. My only regret is not discovering this restaurant sooner. I will definitely be back again soon.

GREAT place for a nice dinner out. Upscale, warm and friendly.

Food was very good, waitress was exceptionally good
