What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The District offers a vibrant atmosphere with stunning river views and live music, making it a popular spot. While many praise the delicious food, with specific call-outs for garlic cheese curds and smash burgers, some diners have experienced issues with service, including a lack of interaction and long wait times. The unique kiosk ordering system is efficient for some but has led to confusion for others.
"This is a great place with awesome food and great views. It is a kiosk order and you pickup your food when you get text messaged. Located right above the Dells upper boat tours location, it's the perfect spot to wait before you go on your expedition. Fun for all ages with great music too!"

"First, I'll start by saying that you don't actually talk to anyone. You order on a kiosk, which I actually like. There are pictures of all the food items and drinks.
This brings in my only real issue with this place is that when browsing the drink selection, they have RedBull listed for $5, which mind you is overpriced but as expected for this type of establishment. I click on the image, and they are advertising a photo of a 12oz RedBull for $5. Steep, but for 12oz, I guess that's okay for the convenience. What's not okay is when I get a text saying my order is ready, only an 8.4oz RedBull is sitting there. False advertising, and mainly disappointing because it's not what I expected nor would I have paid that much for, and as well as nobody there to notice, im waiting there to talk to someone.
The food wasn't bad. I got a Beef Birria 'dilla and the Garlic Cheese Curds. The Birria has an interesting and distinctive taste to it, not bad but not as good as the ones I've had in Mexico(though to be expected), this would be a lot better if there was an option to have consome on the side to dip it in. Cheese curds were good, distinctively garlic.
The atmosphere is top notch, in my opinion. Outdoor seating galore, Riverside view and outdoor patio bars"

"This is SUCH a fun place! 3 different restaurants in one so everyone gets what they want, and it overlooks the water so there is a great view. Lots of seating and such a fun, funky, and colorful vibe, I would come here all the time if I lived nearby. They have live music so I would love to do that, too! The food was delicious- except they put half a jar of mayo on one of the burgers - we did have to scrape the majority of that off. The chicken sandwich was fantastic! Prices were very reasonable. Would still very much recommend this place."
