During our last trip to the Dells, we tried Buffalo Phil’s for the first time. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. It has a northwoods hunting lodge theme with with massive full log beams and rafters. If the architecture of Buffalo Phil’s reminds you of Moosejaw Pizza & Dells Brewing Co. or Great Wolf Lodge, it is for good reason. All three properties were developed by the Waterman family (who opened Noah’s Ark in the 1970’s). The food at Buffalo Phil’s is a little expensive, but very good. The kids enjoyed the children’s menu, which doubles as a buffalo mask. After dinner at Buffalo Phil’s, Knucklehead’s Bowling & Indoor Amusement Park is right next door for some additional family fun. Knucklehead’s is actually located in the same building as Buffalo Phil’s.
More information about Buffalo Phil’s can be found on their website.

It was one year ago today that the landscape of Lake Delton was forever changed. The lake emptied on June 9, 2008, after heavy rains and flooding caused Highway A to breach, sending the contents of the lake, and several lakeside homes into the Wisconsin River.
Almost immediately, plans were made to reconstruct Highway A, and restore the isthmus between the lake and the river. Highway A reopened less than 6 months later, and Lake Delton was completely refilled several weeks ago.
Lake Delton is back, and area business owners are anxious to see what the summer tourist season brings this year. It is unknown whether the current economic situation will keep tourists home this summer, or actually bring them to the Dells in lieu of a more pricey alternative.
Although Lake Delton is new and improved, many lives have been changed forever by the events of June 9, 2008. Most notably, would be the families who lost their homes that day. Also affected were many of the area hotels, restaurants, and other businesses who depend on the lake for their livelihood.
Here are a couple of videos of the events of that unfortunate day.
Some interesting aerial footage of the damage.
