Wisconsin Dells, WIPaul Bunyan's Cook Shanty
Alexandra F. said: No trip to the Dells is complete without a stop at Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty, where the food is plentiful and the donuts out-of-this-world! Family-style "lumberjack" meals are served at all hours of the day, but breakfast is our family's absolute favorite. The set menu is limited to traditional favorites such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes, but nothing beats the mouth-watering donuts, fresh from the fryer! Be ready for long lines at prime brunch times, but they move quickly and the food is worth the wait. For added family fun, check out the lumberjack show after the meal.
