In the land of neon day-glo tank tops and regrettable tattoos, Ravina is a safe haven for those seeking relief. Â
Set on the shore of Lake Delton (you can watch people practicing for the Bartlett Water Show), Ravina has a great outdoor patio as well as seating inside for those not wanting to brave the heat. Â The menu is heavy on appetizers, burgers, and sandwiches/wraps. Â I am definitely a fan of their burgers. Â 1/2 behemoths that come cooked as ordered nestled in a brioche bun. Â Appetizers are also solid. Â Fried pickles served with a buttermilk ranch and a side of dijonnaise are extremely addictive.
All in all, a solid place and a place that I could see myself going to on the regular if ever I lived in the Dells.
If you're in the Wisconsin Dells you need to hit this place! Â Food is outstanding, great atmosphere with VERY friendly staff. Â If you go at night you can catch the some of the Tommy Bartlett show which was very entertaining. Â Most of the seating is outside on their patio with a HUGE umbrella over head overlooking Lake Delton.
We started off with the Patio Pleaser appetizer that was a combination of nachos, chicken wings, cheese curds which fed six easily. Â I had the fish tacos which were outstanding as was the walleye, burgers and wraps.
Stopped here for lunch after a Dells boat tour and was absolutely starving...luckily Ravina Bay was up to the task. Â It was a Tuesday mid-afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all, and we got a great spot on the deck, and had a fun time watching the water-skiiers practice for the Tommy Bartlett show. Â I ordered the bacon ranch loaded potato popper burger with a side of fries.
Positives:
-Location is awesome...away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy Dells, it's back in the woods and on the lake with a partial view of the Bartlett show area. Â Would be fun to eat there while a live show was going on.
-Good food and portion size. Â I was starving when I arrived, stuffed when I left. Â The potato poppers were delicious.
Negatives:
-Maybe a tad bit hard to find in all the touristy Dells stuff, but look for the signs.
-Parking lot is very small...not an issue for us, but could be a problem on busy days.
A great meal spot that gets you away from the craziness of all the touristy junk throughout the Dells...and gives you a nice lake view and some fun stuff to watch with the Bartlett show nearby.
Spoke with a person who answered the phone named Dani
asked when a good time to get there for the Tommy Bartlett show. Â Dani said "this is a restaurant, you can come any time you want." Â I again asked if there was a good time to get there to see the shows and Dani told me what time the shows were and said "I can't tell you what time to get here, come whenever you want." Â I asked her if it was busy right now and she said "Of course it's not busy, it's cold outside." Â May not sound that bad, but add the very smart alecky tone the message was delivered with from this snotty little girl and you will understand why I will probably never eat at this restaurant. Â I would rather pay the corporation that runs the Bartlett show than be treated like a schmuck from a snotty little girl who obviously hates tourists.
Great food and nice location. Had fun watching the Tommy Bartlett skiers practicing on the lake while we ate. This place is a really nice getaway from the craziness and crowds of the Dells. Had a BLT and fries and it was really, really good. My wife and our kids also enjoyed their meals. Only glitch was double billing of one of our meals. Fortunately, we caught it and they fixed it right away.
Review Source:Scenic view from deck! Food was of average quality. Service was below average. The sauce that was listed in menu as part of our entree was not served. Eventually after we pointed out the discrepancy, a sauce was served that none of the promised mushroom in it, but instead tasted like onion powder mixed in sour cream!
Review Source:Great lunch overlooking the lake. Â Had one of their specialty burgers and "Sand Dollars" (pub chips) and it was done to perfection.
Really nice laid back atmosphere, great outdoor dining options and, from what I've been told, it's the best place in town to view the Tommy Bartlet show during summer evenings!
