Very good theme - camping cups for coffee and tin plates to eat off of. You sit at large wooden tables that are used to fit the family style food - ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, coleslaw, veggies and chocolate cake.The chicken was delicious! Adults pay $14.95 for supper.

Had a group of 7 guys who needed to fuel up for a late morning tee time. We got there at 8:30am on a Sunday morning and didn't have to wait which was a big plus. We got our own table and the service was fantastic. We got our drink orders in and back very quick and the dishes of... More

Every time we go to the dells we must have a few meals here to eat. Sometimes since we live not too far away will make a quick weekend drive up to have a meal at Paul Bunyan's. People are very nice, food is quick and food is delicious, never have found a bad meal here

Paul Bunyan's if the way to go to have an awesome breakfast. Every year we go to Mt. Olympus and we were out of Paul Bunyan's in less than and hour. It may look busy, But it goes by really fast. Plus Great Theme all around. and great food.

Great breakfast, fun. Servuce was also very good and the staff seemed to be having as much fun as the customers, while providing good service.

Paul Bunyan's is a family tradition for us. My folks loved it, we love it, and our children love it. The gift shop is fun for all ages and the bakery is good, too. We love the family-style meal and especially enjoy the donuts. My sister is 63 years old and just yesterday bought 4 metal mugs because "it's just... More

Paul Bunyan's is a great place, if you are looking for a good meal at a reasonable price. We have been there several times, and have had a good experience each time. The service is attentive, and the food is tasty. And the "famous" doughnuts are definitely worth getting, even if just to take home.

My husband and I had been here years ago before we had kids. We took our two kids here this weekend for a different experience. The check-in area is congested as you have to manuever through their shop area. We were seated right away but then it took FOREVER to have someone initially come wait on us. My husband told... More
