    “An Unforgettable Meal in the Old German Bank! We visited The Vault last Friday night with a group of friends and had a truly wonderful time. The atmosphere is absolutely divine—there is simply nothing like the experience of dining inside the historic Old German Bank! As for the food, I cannot recommend the Blackberry Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribeyes enough. They were absolutely amazing. In fact, the glaze was the total show-stopper of the meal; my only regret is that I didn't have a side of bread to soak up every last drop of it! The rest of our group was just as impressed. The Bang Bang Salmon Bowl and the Prime Rib French Dip were exquisite, and everyone left completely satisfied with their choice. To top it all off, our server was fantastic and had a great sense of humor, which kept the mood fun and light all evening. Considering the reasonable prices and the unique setting, I would highly recommend The Vault for your next outing. We will definitely be back!”

    “Great Bartenders, Cold Drinks, but Where's the Riverboat? After a full day of exploring Galena and enjoying our anniversary getaway, we checked into Hotel Julien in Dubuque and decided to keep things simple. Why venture out looking for a bar when there's one right downstairs? So we made our way to the Riverboat Lounge, and I'm glad we did! First off, the atmosphere was surprisingly peaceful. There were two weddings taking place at the hotel that evening, so I honestly expected a much busier, louder environment. Instead, we found a nice, quiet spot to relax, enjoy a few drinks, and unwind after a long day. The decor was decent, although I have to admit, with a name like Riverboat Lounge, I was expecting a little more character! Dubuque has such a rich Mississippi River history, and the name practically begs for some old-school riverboat charm. Unfortunately, the decor didn't really deliver on that theme. Not bad by any means, just a missed opportunity to make the space something special. But where this place really shines is behind the bar! Our bartenders were absolutely fantastic. Extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the drinks they were serving. The beer was cold, the service was excellent, and they made us feel right at home. Sometimes it's easy to overlook how much a good bartender can add to an evening. They don't need to put on a show or serve some elaborate cocktail. Just being personable, knowing their craft, and making guests feel welcome can turn an ordinary stop into a great experience. And that's exactly what happened here. We weren't looking for a wild night out. We wanted a comfortable place to sit, have a drink, enjoy each other's company, and finish off an already wonderful day. The Riverboat Lounge delivered exactly that. The Verdict: A comfortable, quiet hotel lounge with decent decor that could use a little more personality to live up to its name. But the bartenders? They're the real reason to visit. Excellent hospitality, cold drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere made this a great way to end our evening. Worth the Detour? Worth a Stop! Especially if you're staying at Hotel Julien or looking for a relaxed drink in downtown Dubuque. The riverboat theme might be missing, but the hospitality certainly isn't!”

We sat just outside the entrance and waited and watched many people without a reservation being turned away. Why? They could have eaten and left before those with reservations arrived later. The hostess was somewhat rude about it.”

    “If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers both creativity and incredible flavor, look no further than Candle Ready Cakes! We stopped in for their special April Fools treats today, and let me tell you—they absolutely nailed it. We tried the “reuben,” “chicken nuggets,” and “bagel,” and they looked exactly like the real thing. The attention to detail was unreal. Your brain is fully convinced you’re about to bite into corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island, sauerkraut, and rye bread… but then—surprise! It’s a delicious sweet treat instead. From the very first bite, my tastebuds were dancing and immediately wanted more. It’s not just the visual trickery—it’s the flavor that seals the deal. And of course, we couldn’t leave without grabbing their ever-popular cake balls, which (as always) did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and swing into Candle Ready Cakes any day of the week and grab a few boxes of cupcakes or treats. You’ll be hooked after one visit—I guarantee you’ll be coming back for more!”

    “An Unforgettable Meal in the Old German Bank! We visited The Vault last Friday night with a group of friends and had a truly wonderful time. The atmosphere is absolutely divine—there is simply nothing like the experience of dining inside the historic Old German Bank! As for the food, I cannot recommend the Blackberry Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribeyes enough. They were absolutely amazing. In fact, the glaze was the total show-stopper of the meal; my only regret is that I didn't have a side of bread to soak up every last drop of it! The rest of our group was just as impressed. The Bang Bang Salmon Bowl and the Prime Rib French Dip were exquisite, and everyone left completely satisfied with their choice. To top it all off, our server was fantastic and had a great sense of humor, which kept the mood fun and light all evening. Considering the reasonable prices and the unique setting, I would highly recommend The Vault for your next outing. We will definitely be back!”

The server never asked how we wanted it prepared so apparently if you don’t specify they will automatically cook it well done. I think this should be a question the servers ask rather than a customer remembering to state that.”

    “There are coffee shops — and then there is Jumble Coffee. In a world where convenience often overshadows craftsmanship, Jumble Coffee stands as a testament to what happens when passion, personality, and precision are poured into every cup. What keeps me coming back time and time again are the hand-crafted drinks. These aren’t rushed, assembly-line lattes. They are carefully built, thoughtfully balanced creations — what I affectionately refer to as “rocket fuel” — capable of launching even the sleepiest morning into full orbit. Whether you’re a classic drip coffee purist or someone chasing bold, inventive flavor combinations, their extensive drink menu ensures there’s something to fit the moment. But Jumble isn’t just about what’s in the cup. Their breakfast and snack offerings round out the experience beautifully, making it just as suitable for a quick bite as it is for a lingering morning reset. The menu is broad without being overwhelming — a rare balance that shows intentional curation rather than clutter. And then there’s the heartbeat of the place: the staff. The team at Jumble Coffee elevates the entire experience. The ladies behind the counter are absolutely amazing — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to strike up a conversation while you wait. It’s the kind of authentic interaction that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a regular, even on your first visit. If you stop by, ask for Megan or Tomi — though truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any of the wonderful and charming young women working there. Each one brings the same enthusiasm, kindness, and expertise to the counter. Feeling adventurous? Tell them “dealer’s choice.” They’ll either craft one of their personal favorites or ask a few simple questions about what you like (and don’t like) before working their magic like a well-oiled machine. The result is often something you didn’t know you needed until that first sip. Jumble Coffee isn’t just serving beverages — it’s cultivating connection, creativity, and community one hand-crafted cup at a time. Five stars, without hesitation.”

    “I visited the Dubuque, IA Maid-Rite about 2:30 PM on Saturday, June 7. I ordered the Maid-Rite basket which consists of a Maid-Rite, fries and a drink (lemonade for me). The food itself was all good especially the Maid-Rite sandwich (I used to live in Marshalltown, IA a few blocks away from Taylor's Maid-Rite in that town). The service was just OK and perhaps a little on the cold side. I was not offered a refill on my lemonade, so I guess this means no free refills at this restaurant (ask for a glass of water or pay for another drink if you're still thirsty!).”

In all my trips to Bob & Lou’s, I’ve never had a bad experience with an employee or a bad drink. The employees are even sweeter than the coffee! It’s so nice to support a small business that cares about its customers and it’s product! P.S. I totally recommend experimenting with their menu—I get something different every time and it’s always tasty!”

Next the salad with the house dressing and garlic bread were next level as well. The Fettuccine Alfredo, Seafood Italiano, Lasagna, Masala, and Seafood Special on the menu were all top notch. I would recommend it 10 times out of ten. We will definitely be back. Visited on July, 5th”

My wife and I ordered the Nachos as an appetizer, which were amazing and definitely could have been a meal for both of us ( yes we were warned, but we love leftovers) Our waitress was top notch and very friendly. I am a lover of Philly Cheesesteaks, and this place by far has been the best I’ve ever had when dining out! They use Ribeye and actually give a generous amount, unlike most places that usually have more toppings than meat. Definitely will be back!”

    “5/5 Stars — Absolute perfection in a cup! If you haven’t stopped by the Starbucks inside the Asbury Plaza Hy-Vee lately, you are missing out! The baristas and management here are always so upbeat, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Pro tip: next time you’re in, ask them for their favorite drink or tell them to let their creative mind run free. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed in their drink choice! I stopped in on 9/22/2026 and asked the two lovely and charming ladies behind the counter to put their heads together and craft something special. What they came up with honestly makes me wonder if this is what Heaven tastes like! Here is the master creation they made for me: Venti Hot White Mocha Blonde Espresso Hazelnut & Brown Sugar Syrup White Mocha No whip (it just gets in the way!) Cinnamon Powder That very first sip before I even left the store was absolutely ah-mazing. Swing by in the morning before you tackle the day, or simply grab a beverage to sip on while you shop. Trust me my friends, you will not be disappointed!”
