P.A.M.'s Dining Room & Cocktail Bar

Delicious food with a great variety of gluten-free options! I was blown away to find gluten-free lasagna, fried walleye, and even cheese curds on the menu. The service was top-notch—Joe was friendly and attentive, and everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome. The screened in porch provided a great, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and excellent service, especially if you’re gluten-free!

The service was second to none, got us right in and had a wonderful dinner.

Old World Charm - New World Food and Service!
Our group of six locals enjoyed an exceptional evening at PAMS. The duck served on Sunday nights was exceptional and Joe’s personable service made our time together a delight. The ambiance of the porch seating added just the right touch for creating a memorable time together.

My wife and I had a fantastic meal at Pam's on the weekend of our 40th. The food and service were excellent. Thank you.👍

We have been coming to Elkhart Lake for several years now and it was not until recent. We tried this restaurant. Boy have we been missing out. The food was so amazing and it had such unique choices. I am not gluten-free, but my wife is and it provided Numerous options for her to choose from.

Whoever heard of a fish fry, that’s gluten-free?

If you come to Elkhart Lake, you need to book a reservation!

The service was terrific. And we sat outside on the screened porch and it felt like we were in a different world.

Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a delightful date night. The ambiance is elegant and romantic. The food was impeccable. Can't wait to come back!

We love PAMS. Great food and friendly folks all around. You can see one group of Karens left three bad reviews on one bad experience. Oh well, in Wisconsin in the summer ratchet Beckys from the Chicago suburbs are like mosquitoes. You can't avoid them and even after they are gone you are left scratching your head. Don't believe the haters, just dine with people you like, sit back and relax.A quaint restaurant in a quaint town. The Wisconsin Carbonara is so good it will make you want to slap your mama!!!

Just about everything on this menu was delicious. We had a reservation for a large party on a Saturday night, and we were really appreciative of how gracious and accommodating the restaurant & staff were. We had a beautiful table at the front of this restaurant, and we’d be remiss not to note that the restaurant ambiance and decor makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Martha’s Vineyard. We were very impressed by the diversity and abundance of vegan and veggie-forward dishes on the menu. The only thing we didn’t like, out of the great number of drinks, appetizers, and entrees that we shared was the walleye served over pasta. The pasta was fabulous, but the walleye was dry. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone, it is worth the trip to Elkhart Lake. I don’t know who Pam is, but boy does she know what she’s doing!

Dined with a table of 8 on a busy race weekend - excellent service and meal. We had great service and my meal was excellent. I had the Salmon and it is refreshing to eat at a place that has so many options for those with dietary restrictions! Friends had other items they raved about as well.

Vegetarian options: Not vegetarian, but there are also options for those who choose.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and there are so many options at PAM's and Stop-Inn Tavern!

We dined at P.A.M.'s with our family - table of 8 on IndyCar weekend. It was family friendly, charming and delicious! I highly recommend the PAM's salad, caprese and Chicken Marsala Gnocchi!! I couldn't believe there were so many delicious gluten free options. They also had a nice selection of wine. They make their recipes from scratch, so don't expect fast food. Enjoy the moment in this historic dining room. Good things come to those who wait.

Our group dined at P.A.M.’s during the IndyCar weekend and looking forward to going back during the Vintage weekend in a couple of weeks! Standouts were the Prime Rib (Saturday special), the Salmon and the WI Carbonara. The Fish Fry that we saw on special the night before looked excellent and can’t wait to try that next time. The entire dining room staff is friendly and and they all handled our large group, amongst several other groups on a busy race weekend, like pros.

We made a reservation for 7:15pm for 13. We arrived earlier told us they weren’t ready yet. Didn’t seat us until 7:30. As soon as we sat down we ordered because we all knew what we wanted. We didn’t get bread or appetizers for an hour.When we asked what was going on they just kept saying our food is coming. We finally realized that the kitchen for P.A.M’s is also the kitchen for stop in tavern. So they were taking orders from two restaurants.Our waitress was super sweet but you can tell was anxious because we kept asking where the food was and canceled some of our order because people in our party didn’t not want to wait anymore.For the rest that waited when didn’t get our food another hour and a half after appetizers. So we were there for for 2 and a half hours just waiting for food. If they can’t handle big parties then they should have said something when we made the reservation.Food was good but seemed a little over priced for the appetizers. BRUSCHETTA is literally just one piece of toast. Didn’t really get to take pictures of everything because we were starving.If you have a big party stay way unless you want to spend the rest of your Saturday waiting 2 hours for food.The bar inside the restaurant is soooo cute and the bartender was super friendly.

We waited 2 hours for our food. When we asked what was going on they kept saying “it’s coming.” They led us on for two hours. The first hour they didn’t even bring out appetizers.The thing that is the most irritating is that there were no apologies, no updated offered, and there was not one person on the staff that seemed to care.It’s rare we get to have a weekend getaway. Our reservations were seated late, and by the time dinner was wrapped up our evening was almost over. It was a terrible experience and we missed having a fun night because of the lack of care and transparency around the situation.There is no excuse for this service. If they could not handle the volume and knew they couldn’t get food out, they should have been honest from the beginning and advised us to go elsewhere.I’ve stayed at the Seibken’s resort for many years, this is likely my final year. I’m so turned off by this experience and I’d like to give my business to a place that cares for their customer.
