A giant, yet friendly looking, wooden lumberjack proudly welcomes you to Paul Bunyan’s in the Wisconsin Dells located on Highway 13. This large and famous restaurant seats 450 people for “lumberjack style dining” in a family-friendly northwoods atmosphere.
The Wisconsin Dells is a tourist town with an abundance of lakes, hills, water parks, museums and even a river boat casino. Paul Bunyan’s is a staple in the Dells and has been in business for the past 48 years. You will immediately understand why, as you enter the establishment and are kindly greeted with the aromas of fresh coffee, maple syrup and cinnamon. Despite the large size of the dining room, you will feel as though you are back in your grandmother’s kitchen complete with red and white checkerboard tablecloths, gingham curtains, knotty pine walls and delicate lighting.
Paul Bunyan’s offers a fabulous, “all you can eat,” breakfast that is reasonably priced and generously delivered by a very accommodating wait staff. Your morning will start off with a scrumptious basket of warm buttermilk doughnuts that are gently sprinkled with sugar and deliciously melt in your mouth. These little bites of heaven make the perfect breakfast appetizer. But be careful not to fill up, a bounty of food is on its way!
Soon, a mountain of fluffy flapjacks make their way to your table served with thick, rich maple syrup. A platter of hot, smoky sausage links soon follows. Enjoy a hearty slice of succulent baked ham while tasty, grilled scrambled eggs and crunchy fried potatoes complete this amazing breakfast experience. But don’t be shy! Remember, this meal is “all you can eat,” so if you want more, just ask and hot seconds and even thirds will soon fill your plates. Breakfast at Paul Bunyan’s is served from 7:00 AM to noon daily and is only $8.50 for adults and 69 cents per year of age for children.
Paul Bunyan’s isn’t just for breakfast. Fresh salads and sandwiches are served for lunch. And family style dinners include a nightly entrée like prime rib, seafood or pasta plus their specialty chicken, homemade bread, creamy coleslaw, veggies and potatoes. Every Friday they offer an “all you can eat” fish fry for $9.95 that features golden fried cod, chicken, pasta, potato pancakes and apple sauce.
For fresh baked goods to go, partake in Paul Bunyan’s gigantic homemade cookies which measure about six inches in diameter and include the following flavors: sugar, chocolate chip, molasses and oatmeal raisin. Or try the homemade white or cinnamon bread. Don’t forget to take home some of those delicious buttermilk doughnuts, also available in a sugar glaze or a chocolate glaze. Peruse Paul Bunyan’s gift shop for unique Wisconsin souvenirs. Many items from the store as well as the bakery are available online at www.paulbunyans.com and can be shipped directly to you.
