Bobbers Island Grill

Easy five star! We been to bobbers a couple times here in the dells and they never disappoint. Everyone LOVED the food at our table. We got a variety of things, all enjoyable. Services was second to none. Wait staff was very attentive and pleasant! Atmosphere was dope as hell! We will certainly be back 🤘

We had the best dinner in the Dells at Bobbers! The wait staff was so attentive, and super accommodating for a group of 9 with five children in the mix. Our boys loved playing in the sandbox, seeing sidewalk chalk offered at the table, and trying Alligator bites for the first time. The appetizers were fast to come out, and our food was all great quality and delicious. I had a steak while my husband had the Lobster Mac&Cheese. I would eat here again in an instant. Yuriel our server went above and beyond to refill drinks, grab tiny drink umbrellas at the kid’s requests, and left us with helium filled balloons and bracelets at the end of the dinner. A true “wow factor” to top off an awesome dining experience. Thanks, Yuriel.

Came here from out of town and i absolutely love this place! I ordered their entree “bobbers shrimp” and had a “shark tank” cocktail it was all delicious! And they also had a live band definitely enjoyed the music as well😄

Top notch service and food. We arrived after a large party had been seated and had to wait quite a while for our food but were compensated and had several employees consult with us and apologize for the delay. The food was worth the wait!

Pretty cool little atmosphere with a pirate ship at the bar and a Tommy Bartlett speedboat near the main entrance. Tried the Bobber’s shrimp and the Coconut shrimp. Both were absolutely delicious.

Came here for lunch with the family. Tried to complete the 3 lbs sandwich and fell short. Got the sandwich down but the frys where too much for me. Nice place with arcade for the kids

I liked the Cuban and the fries are good (not over battered). The 2 for 1 drink special was long island iced tea. I drank them but I have had better at other restaurants. My kids enjoyed their meals off the kids menu and both wanted to go back a 2nd time. My wife was also pleased with her meal. The outdoor seating could use an upgrade. It is made from PVC piping. Our waitress was very nice!

This place was very accommodating to our large group. Service was fast. Food was great. Our waitress, Finley, went out of her way to make our experience extra special. The atmosphere with the live music was fun as well. Definitely recommend.

We had an amazing experience. We sat outdoors in the patio, it was very relaxing, peaceful, and great background music. The food was delicious and there is something for everyone. Our server Justin was a real gem and went above and beyond. Definitely worth the trip.

Family of 7 on a Tuesday night . Got a table immediately. Had a few drinks(check the size before ordering ) crab dip was delicious. All of the food was delicious ( fish sandwich, steak sandwich, hamburger) our server, Carter, was very polite and made sure we enjoyed our visit. The place is decorated with fishing bobbers which made it feel like you were on the lake or ocean.

Amazing and fun place to eat! Thought this place looked so cool from the outside and had such a variety of fish options. The service was great but there was no option to split the bill. We were also 3 adults on vacation and got seated next to the kids sand pit. Other than that I had a great experience!

Food was actually horrid. The shrimp was decent but the fish tacos were straight trash. I ordered blackened and they were whiter than Mclovin. Waste of $82. Only half decent thing was my hot wife and the walmart mix of their drink special. Nice server though.

Not super impressed with this place. We sat in the bar area which is also a club at night called The Reef. The meat was cold on the nachos and didn't have much flavor and the calamari was just okay. We had good service as the only customers in the bar area! The drink selection looks good. I had the mint raspberry iced tea which I enjoyed. Follow me on Instagram at yelpershawn for more reviews!

Negative experience- very weird vibe from the minute we walked in. Bartender was rude as hell, happy we crossed it off the list but won't be returning.

Have been going here since it was called Marleys. Cool atmosphere and good jerk chicken. 3% surcharge for using a credit card but food comes quickly and is tasty.

Amazing food and service! Staff were great and the food was spectacular all around! The environment was peaceful, perfect for a family dinner or lunch

Fresh food and the Jamaican greens are amazing. Personal service and fun atmosphere.we will definitely come back.

I never write reviews, but everything my family ordered here was dry and gross, and the waitress couldn't handle her tables. The manager was very short with us and didn't apologize for the dry food. My family ate their food but I couldn't eat the lobster tail I ordered because it was so dry and was discolored (blackish). My sister's cuban didn't come with mustard and waitress argued that it was made correctly without sauce until we got a menu and showed her it was supposed to include it. Caesar wrap also was lacking dressing. The cocktails seemed like they came with light alcohol and tasted premade. We asked what was in the cocktail special of the night that she advertised, and the waitress couldn't tell us what alcohol or mixer was in it. We ordered it and it was not good. The only good thing about this restaurant was their cheese curds and atmosphere.

This place was suggested to us by my brother. It looked like it would be fun with all its touristy and kitchy decorations and various sizes of bobbers. However, my family and I would not return. We were not advised of any of their specials, which I later discovered they had both alcohol and food daily specials. Luckily (or unluckily as I definitely should not have tried it) we went with their two for one with their Bobbers tea. It was a sticky sweet drink with no taste of alcohol whatsoever. They were gross and I would never order them, again. Due to there being only one option for vegetarians ($15 black bean burger) I did not eat anything other than some French fries stolen from the rest of my family. The girls went with the chicken strip kids meals which included no drink but did include a whole two strips and some French fries or mashed potatoes for $8 each. They were not enthused with the taste or size. The husband had the Jerk fish sandwich which also included mashed potatoes. This came with a $16 price tag and a very scant amount of actual jerk sauce. He said it tasted just a slight improvement over McDonald's fish filet. My oldest son had the Island tacos for $18. He said they were decent, but the shrimp was undercooked. The waitress was nice, but she didn't seem very knowledgeable. We understand the Dells are a tourist attraction, but this place needs to up their overall game.

Nice ambiance, nice decor. The server was just okay -- kind of slow and couldn't answer many menu questions. They hype their jerk. However, when asked the type of wood they used for smoking, he couldn't answer. Jerk is smoked using pimento wood. The cocktails were pretty good. We visited this restaurant once before. Yea, I would go again.

Ordered the smothered steak The side Cesar had virtually no dressing . I still ate it bc I don't usually complain. Steak came out burnt and tasted like char . I mentioned the steak was burned and I no longer wanted it . So the manager told our server all sales were final and they wouldn't remove it from the bill even though they burned it . Kind of silly if you ask me . The server was good . Bad policy and management in my opinion . Outdoor patio and band was why I'm giving this 3 stars .

This restaurant has lots of seating which includes outdoor seating as well. The island theme is nice for the area as it's different. The menu is large and also has a nice drink selection. There is an outdoor bar that is open seasonally. The taco salad while good didn't have enough lettuce and the ground beef was too greasy. The Mac and Cheese was good. Our server was very nice. Worth another try.

LOVE this place. So much available outdoor seating, a band every Friday night and Theodore our server was absolutely marvelous. He was attentive, our order was correct and the food was great! They let the kids have corn hole bags and we sat in lawn chairs while they played corn hole on the patio . They also have an ice cream stand for dessert. Such a great place to sit outside and enjoy family time and listen to music in the Dells

On our trip to the Wisconsin Dells, we stayed at Wyndham Glacier Canyan. Just across from Wilderness Resort, we found Bobber's for our evening meal. Our hostess was a really cute red-head with a bubbling personality. She sat us outside. The weather in September was a pleasant 72 degrees. The traffic on and main through-street in the Dells and football games kept our attention while we waited for our meals. I felt that the sound was turned on too loud. Guess they were expecting a lot of people. I ordered Jerk Chicken. My daughter-in-law ordered Lobster Mac and Cheese and my son ordered Mahi Mahi. We also embellished in 2 for 1 Mai-Tai's. The meals were delicious as they were nourishing. Our waiter was courteous and service was quick and efficient. This is a great place to dine with children. Next time we are in town, we definitely will return!

This is is nice island get-away right in the Dells. The place is huge. It has a large private parking lot that is free for its patrons to park. It also has an awesome outside patio that is pretty large and has a full bar out there with televisions, a fire pit, a decent sand volleyball court, a sand play area with toys in it, shuffleboard and a cabana. It is a very very nice patio area. Inside is huge and spacious. One side is a bar area with seating televisions and a huge open floor which I believe is a dance floor. On the other side you will find strictly a dining area with tables and booths. They have a lot of coloring materials for the littles. You will also find a small arcade in the front of that area. They don't have many games, but could still entertain a gamer for a bit. They have daily drink specials and a menu packed with signature cocktails and tropical themed food such as Jerk Shrimp, Island Tacos, Mahi, Mahi, Jerk Sandwich and BBQ Jerk Pork Mac & Cheese. I went with the BBQ Jerk Pork Sandwich with Jammin' Fries and a Shark Tank cocktail to wash it down. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food. It was ok. I was not a real fan of the fries that were luke warm and a bit too crispy for me. The sandwich was decent but the meat was drowned out by the bread. The Shark Tank is a huge drink and cost $30, which I think is a bit hefty, but then I remembered, I am paying tourist prices. The drink was also just ok. I would definitely try something else if I make it back here. The others in my group liked their food though, which is a positive sign. I must have just got a bad draw. All in all, this is a fun and neat family restaurant with a very friendly staff. They have a lot to do here and it almost makes you think you are on a tropical island. I like really the places fun, tropical vibe. I would definitely come back here and recommend this spot for you and your crew to get a bite to eat.

We love this place! We go to the Dells a few times a year and we come to Bobber's often. Crab dip and beach bread are yummy! Shrimp tacos and the Mahi Mahi also something we always order. The kids can draw with chalk on the floor outside and they have a sandbox! The atmosphere is nice and the staff is great. Carter is awesome! He brought some balloons for my kids at the end of the dinner last time - never thought balloons would make them so happy

We were a little skeptical because of the reviews but we took a leap of faith and tried it out. The vibe there is awesome, there was a live band that was really good! The food came fairly quickly and the portions were huge AND tasty!! The jerk is perfectly flavored and the mango chutney paired with the rice and extra sauce is perfect. The kiddos ordered from the kids menu and their portions were good and delicious. I actually nibbled on my daughters pizza it was sooo good. Our server was also great! We had a great time and would visit again.

We stopped here on Sunday after going to 2 other popular restaurants that had 45 min waits. With 6 kids we weren't having that and got in right away. Our service was excellent. I forget our waiters name (younger guy), but he checked on us multiple times and was super prompt. We all ordered different things and all were good. I had the chipotle chicken sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I'd had in a long time. If we wouldn't of had to drive after that, I would of also ordered one of their specialty drinks. They looked awesome. Another perk for our group was that they had their own small area with a handful of games. The kids loved that!

We ate outside and it was so relaxing. It wasn't busy at all, maybe because it was a Monday. Our waiter was very good. He came back several times to be sure everything was good. That's great customer service. All customers were spread apart throughout the eating area which made it quiet and relaxing to enjoy our meal.

Tried the Bobbers Cuban, Jerk Pork Wrap, Crab Louie Burger, pizza and a couple of kids burgers. No complaints from anyone. We all enjoyed every bite. The waitress was friendly and very prompt. Little to no wait and a pleasant atmosphere. If we are ever here again we are sure to stop by.

We ate here with a family of six, children and adults and there was something for everyone here. Reasonable prices and good portions, too. There is indoor and outdoor seating with fun decor throughout. We had excellent service, engaging and friendly waitress.

This place is huge. Lots to do. The 4 stars are mainly based on my server. And the style of food. Lots of jerk style dishes. No curry goat sadly. My server will know what I'm talking about. Maybe in Jamaica soon.

Ordered calamari. Legitimately got 7 pieces and they didn't even look like normal calamari. They looked like small Orion rings. $13.99 for 7 pieces of "calamari". Food you could tell was frozen before hand. Would not recommend.

Service was great and the decor was fun but the food was just ok. I got the seafood fettuccini. There were two shrimp and maybe a piece of lobster but the rest was fake crab and lobster meat which had a weird texture. The sauce tasted like jar Alfredo sauce mixed with cheese. My husband got the lobster Mac and Cheese and said it was good. We also got the Del Mar crab dip. It was not great but my husband liked it. I just think his taste buds are not good. lol. Not sure if I would return and try anything else.

This newer place up in the Dells definitely has a laid back island vibe to it. This place is huge, With Large patio and large indoor space. Colors are bold and vibrant. The menu is large, with an emphasis on Caribbean specialties like Jerk Chicken, Seafoods, Pastas, and Sandwiches, For an appetizer we had a warm seafood dip served in a bread bowl and it was delicious - see pic. We also ordered a shaved prime rib sandwich to share but after the bread bowl, we just took the sandwich to go. The service was attentive and prompt. There is ample parking and they even have an ice cream truck set up in the lot. A great family place that truly has something for, everyone

Excellent. Our fav restaurant in the Dells. Food is great. Service is fabulous. And the price is right.

The cleanliness was awful, table and condiments sticky. Portions were good but quality of food was the worse I have had anywhere in the past 4 yrs despite the high marks.

The food was good and the server was friendly. We did receive our food very quickly considering we had a big group. The drinks are way overpriced for the size that they are. We paid cash to avoid the 3% charge and never got our full amount of change back. No one at our table that paid cash actually got any of the coin change back, just the paper portion of the change. That's not ok in my book, in fact it's theft of my money.

Don't be in any hurry!! Food was good. Allow plenty time.... 1 1/2 hour easily for lunch 2 pastas and an appetizer

Great food and drink specials! Love the live music! Service was great and prices are affordable.

Had a very large group they did a great time accommodating all of us. The food was great and the staff was super friendly! Would recommend!

We came on a Friday evening with 5 adults and two kids -- we were seated right away on the outdoor patio which was super nice as it was a lovely day and there was live music! The country artist (sorry don't remember his name) was from Nashville and sounded great! The only other saving grace is that it has a lot of fun things to entertain the kids like a sand box, giant four square and chalk on the tables. Other than that it was a pretty awful experience: food was terrible and tasted microwaved, our server was rude, hasty, and messed up or forgot our orders, and the music was so loud you couldn't talk to each other anymore. Definitely won't be going back

Theodore was our server and was amazing! The food was absolutely amazing! Very kid friendly with sand pits for them to play in and chalk to draw outside! Fun outside place to go for a relaxing night with live music! This is a must go place!

Jasmine rice was delicious! Grilled salmon was a tad undercooked. My merlot wine was good. My husband had a steak sandwich and fries and he said it was nothing to write home about. All staff members were friendly.

We brought our baseball team to Bobbers. We had approximately 48 people in attendance. I cannot be thankful enough of the patience and service the staff gave to us. We will definitely be back again next time we are in the area.

Overall the food was good. Loved the set up and cool decorations around the restaurant. They also had a fun little arcade that kept my toddler busy while waiting for food to come. Only downfall was the server seemed annoyed that we were there. It was a Wednesday at 7, no other customers AT ALL. He just seemed very put out with us. ‍

I debated this a little, but it is worth 5 stars. They seemed a little slow, but we are coming to realize, things just move slower in restauranta here. Chicken tinga nachos were darn good. Coconut shrimp was great. But the jerk pork tostadas... wowie. That jerk pork was the first time I found jerk flavoring to be worth my time. Outstanding. My picky eater, who said he felt like throwing up and didn't want any foor, said it smelled so good he wanted to try it. And then he ate all the meat off one of the tostadas. This kids lives on chicken fingers and fries so it was a huge win. Atmosphere was fun. I'd like to try drinks but I had plenty earlier in the day. Our server Jaime did a great job. Also, check in on Yelp when you go! 15% discount!

Stopped here while traveling for work, food and service were really good and much appreciated after a long day of travel! Only negative thing was a bunch of flies everywhere, I did sit outside but they were bad. Everything else is was great and I'll stop again for sure!

Service was slow but food was delicious. We shared a plate of the jerk combo and it was plenty of food for both of us.

Prices are up and portions seamed smaller. Our server and one other staff member were very pushy, as if they needed the table. FYI - Coconut Shrimp is not deep fried shrimp with coconut sprinkled over it. I also had a Summer (Moscow) Mule that tasted like they missed the glass with the alchohol. It has been better in the past.

Great meal and atmosphere. We had a large group with lots of kids and they had fun in the sand pit. Food was flavorful and came out fast! Teddy was our server and he was great!

This was probably one of the worst food experiences I've had, if I'm being honest. I was excited to find a place I hadn't heard of and which wasn't a chain, and walking into the restaurant, the vibe was nice -- it did actually remind me of walking into a bar in the Caribbean, and it was well decorated. However, the niceties stopped there. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese, which was a sick joke. Described on the menu as having lobster and crab, and while probably true on a technicality, it was filled with what I'll call "sheets" of meat. Picture crab sticks, unrolled -- that was the majority of the meat. Then there were small lumps of what appeared to be lobster, but they had the same mushy texture as fake crab. So yeah -- there probably is some lobster and crab in that, but it's seemingly just pulverized fish mac and cheese. Please, do yourself a favor and skip it. It's not often I leave a meal unfinished, but I ate less than half; I just couldn't handle it. The breadsticks it was served with were the saving grace; they had a slight crispness to the outside while being very soft on the inside. I also ordered a cup of the jerk chicken soup; it was perfectly edible, but it mostly just tasted like chicken noodle with a bit of pepper thrown in. It definitely didn't have any jerk flavor to it. My wife ordered the mahi mahi, and similar in experience to others who ordered it and left reviews, it was dry, shriveled, and flavorless. Maybe had it been "served with jerk sauce" as advertised it would have been a bit more tolerable. And funny enough, she commented that the rice was pretty good -- another trend I saw in reviews. Finally, while service was friendly, it was pretty inattentive. We were one of only two tables in the establishment, and our two meals were served to the opposite person, and *after* the bill was handed to us I was asked if I wanted a refill on my soda. No, I wanted it long before, to help wash down the joke of a pasta. tl;dr: pass on this place.

This bar has it all. Family friendly dining area, separate bar with plenty of TV's to watch the games, AND a dance floor called The Reef. Not to mention their little slot machines and dart games in a corner if you want to just hang out with friends. This place has great service and great food that comes in quickly. I ordered the Chicken Nachos and they were very filling. Quite the atmosphere if you wanna just come in for a drink alone or if you want to sit with your kids and family and dine in. Bartenders were very attentive and quick with anything I needed. Nothing to complain about.

I've been coming to the Dells for about 10 years and never really ventured out too much for food, we all know it's cheaper to just bring your own. Bobbers is right down the street from the Wilderness so I thought I'd check it out. I sat outside which was really nice, perfect weather for that this weekend. The only bad part about it was the table of about 8 kids next to me. They were younger teenagers and extremely loud, screaming and carrying on about the bees. The thing that made it worse was the tables of parents right next to them not saying anything, maybe a little "hey quiet down a little" would've been nice. Our waitress wasn't bad, she was nice and knew a little about the menu. I ended up getting the crab Louie burger which is pretty good based in her recommendation, maybe a little less of the dip and it would be better. I tried the sampler as well and that was very good, I especially liked the beach brea Overall I would go back but it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice.

We went in for lunch on a Thursday during spring break, and it was not busy at all. The entrance situation was slightly confusing at first. We didn't walk far enough down to the restaurant entrance and entered through the bar. The bartender greeted us, sat us, and he was also the server. He was very friendly and personable. The menu was your standard touristy, beach menu with a Jamaican jerk flair. The decor is very cute cartoon beach theme. It came with the tourist prices, as well, which was expected but thought I'd mention it. Every day has a BOGO drink special, so as it was my birthday and my husband was driving, I had 2 Bahama Mamas. I'm not typically a mixed drink person, but when in Rome! They were pretty boozy, but reminded me of what we would get when we went out to the bars in Destin. I ordered the coconut shrimp, and it came with rice and a side. I chose the Jammin fries. The coconut shrimp came with a strawberry yogurt sauce, which I wasn't sure I would like with the shrimp, but surprisingly it was really nice. The rice was well cooked and had a really great flavor. The jammin fries were good, but I think I would choose something more along the lines of a vegetable to go with the rice. The kids menu is also pretty standard with cheeseburger, chicken tenders, Mac n cheese, etc. The kids menu is a little steep considering. I think the cheapest option was like $6.99. The kid's pizza was $8.99. Overall, I would definitely go back again. I'm sure this place is really busy during the peak season and a great place to eat outside.

No complaints on food or staff.. tasty & generous.. and efficient & friendly. Good time mid afternoon, few people and not at all loud.

Great spot, fun Island atmosphere. Creative menu. Great drinks, we had the 2for1 drunk special, the Tipsy Bobber. Transported back to Jamaica, great server Damani, Jamaican native- give him a raise! Rum Shrimp with Jamaican greens And Jerk Pork Pasta Good food, reasonably priced for the Dells
