Restaurants in Dubuque

“We had Saturday night dinner reservations mid-October that we had been looking forward to for a month. The dinner was simply amazing! \nWe started with the leek fondue (so good), then had the orecchiette and the porchetta. We finished with the seasonal (apple) galette. Everything was perfect, staff was wonderful and we can't wait to go back!”

“Fantastic! The owners are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly!!”

“Excellent food, excellent drinks! Great atmosphere and quality service/staff. We always have a wonderful experience at Pepper Sprout!”

“The best brewery on both sides of the Mississippi. Great people, great brews, great people, great vibes. 100/10”

“Went here for our anniversary/new years last night! First time being here, and had Mary as our server. She was one of the best servers we’ve EVER had! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Definitely our new favorite place! Service, food, atmosphere! 🥂🙌🏻”

“Backpocket Brewery & Taproom isn't just a place to grab a pint—it's an entire experience. From the moment you walk through the door, you're hit with the lively hum of conversation, the faint clang of duck pins, and the gentle chime of retro arcade games. This place has mastered the art of combining a top-tier craft brewery with the kind of nostalgic entertainment that makes you want to hang out all day.

For any beer aficionado, the tap list is nothing short of a liquid wonderland. With a constantly rotating selection that seems to stretch on forever, Backpocket offers a breathtaking array of beers, from their signature stouts and crisp lagers to adventurous sours and hazy IPAs. The sheer number of options ensures that no matter your preference, you'll find something new and exciting to try. It's a testament to their brewing passion and a genuine paradise for those who love to explore the full spectrum of craft beer.

Beyond the taps, the real magic of Backpocket lies in its commitment to a good time. Tucked away in a corner is a meticulously curated collection of old-school arcade cabinets. The glow of the screens and the familiar sounds of classic games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong immediately transport you back in time. It's the perfect way to spend a few quarters and rediscover the simple joy of high scores and pixelated glory.

And then, there’s the duck pin bowling. This isn’t your typical 10-pin alley; it’s a more relaxed and charming version of the sport. The smaller balls and pins make it accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of skill level. It's less about strikes and spares and more about laughing with friends and enjoying the unique, rhythmic clatter of pins being knocked down. The lanes provide a central, social hub that perfectly complements the beer and arcade, creating an environment where a competitive spirit and casual fun coexist seamlessly.

Backpocket is more than just a brewery; it's a destination. It's a place where you can savor an incredible craft beer, challenge your friends to a game of pinball, and knock down some duck pins—all under one roof. It’s the perfect spot for a casual date, a group outing, or a solo adventure.”

“Great staff and great food! Are here for a couple nights as I moved and was unpacking a couple blocks away. Just a little pricey but can’t complain about that too much.”

“It seems like you're looking for recommendations about Ichiban and sushi bars in Premià de Mar. Based on what I found, there are several sushi spots in the area that are worth exploring. However, I couldn't find specific details about a place called "Ichiban" in Premià de Mar. Could it be listed under a different name?”

“Nice gentlemen drinking beer at 8 in the morning oh and just don’t park in the front if you ain’t drinking there 😅”

“There was great live music during our visit. We got a coupon for buy one get one free drinks while staying at the Julien. The option to sit outside on the balcony was really nice as well. We weren’t in the mood for a large dinner so a charcuterie board and fried pickles were a good option.”

“Love the atmosphere, food was excellent and so were the drinks and the service!”

“Friendly service, a lively atmosphere and quality drinks make this a great place to check out if you’re in the area. Darts, pool and other table games abound at this establishment. The outside decor doesn’t match the inside, but don’t be deterred. Check this place out if you’re in the area.”

“Awesome place 😎 to eat they take pride in the making of the food. 💯 was not feeling well and they made sure my husband had clean silverware, and as we ended up staying next door at Hilton Garden which is always an amazing time with staff 💯”

“Went to Fueral Dinner Yesterday What a wonderful job and very good food I would recommend you to everyone I know”

“We recently held our wedding reception at Stone Cliff Winery and were extremely pleased with every aspect of the experience. We loved working with Jodi.....her customer service is top notch - very organized, professional and accommodating every step of the way. The bar staff added a fun vibe to the evening showering our guests with their "Iowa friendliness!" We highly recommend this unique venue for an event or even just for a visit if you are passing through Dubuque!”

“this review is for the new Rexburg location in Mother hibbards have stopped in there four times within the last week to try the food and they never have anything in the warmer. no pizzas nothing. I went in there tonight. no food in the warmer. the kids that work there are sitting on the floor up against the wall doing absolutely nothing. Do they only serve Pizza at lunch and zero food for dinner? there's nothing anywhere that says what times they have food what time? they don't have food so tonight I went from hangar 54 right over to Valley wide and got me a personal pizza and now I'm headed to work.”

“The food and atmosphere is always great BUT the beer was 'OFF'. My hubby and I both had pints of different craft beers. Both tasted OFF, barely drinkable. PLEASE CLEAN YOUR TAP LINES MORE OFTEN! Next time we go I'm asking for a sample first. This is the second time this year I could barely drink my beer.”

“The atmosphere was nice, like a sports bar, service was great. I had ordered a pesto chicken sandwich. Ended up with a pulled pork and pickle sandwich, first pic with fries....then they remade it but not sure about the pesto, unless Q pesto is white idk, it was ok but nothing to write home about. The waitress did comp my meal, but still not sure about the chicken pesto, 2nd set of pics.”

“Being the number one restaurant in all of Dubuque carries some weight, however only part of our meal was exceptional or at that level. The butter nut squash. With pear pizza. was extremely interesting and tasty the spinach Caesar salad extremely good the pepper steak soup depth with flavor and nicely done however, the Mediterranean pasta is extremely lacking flavor, taste, etc. this is why the rating is lower than we expected. The entree did not meet a level of number one. The white staff was extremely friendly, but kept forgetting to replace silverware. Hence a number one rating just cannot be excepted.”

“Love their pizza! Go to pizza.”

“Most of us had a good meal last night however one hamburger was very overcooked. When the manager came by and we told him about it, he put it back on us for not ordering it correctly. 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.”

“They have done an AMAZING rehab of this store - I was mind-boggled! It's gorgeous, bright and opulent inside. I got back to my hotel late at night and all the restaurants were closed. HY Vee has a huge selection of pre-made, delicious food choices. Grab a fork, I forgot!”

“Amazing dinner with friends. The food and drinks were delicious! Very affordable for the quality. Staff was extremely attentive and polite. Can't wait to go back.”

“We recently held our wedding reception at Stone Cliff Winery and were extremely pleased with every aspect of the experience. We loved working with Jodi.....her customer service is top notch - very organized, professional and accommodating every step of the way. The bar staff added a fun vibe to the evening showering our guests with their "Iowa friendliness!" We highly recommend this unique venue for an event or even just for a visit if you are passing through Dubuque!”

“wonderful meal with quality family time (13 guests). Special thanks to Chris, our server, for your patience, Courtesy, and excellent service. we appreciate you!”

“We went here after a Sunday night soccer game. The kids wanted to go and we had never been there so we have it a shot. They did have gluten free options and their gluten free pizza was pretty good. \n\nThe rest of us did the buffet and I was impressed with the food and the price. The kids price was based on their age and there was a salad bar, pizza bar, and then the dinner bar. The dinner bar had chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans and pasta. They had desert pizza and ice cream.\n\nI was impressed and we would go back again for the food. They do have a game room but I would skip it.we gave each kid $20 and I saw my daughter play a few games and she won 300 3x she still had money left on her card and when she went up to the counter they said she had 300 points which I saw her get at least 900. Had to explain to kids life isn’t always fair. That is a reason for 5 stars”

“Wow, on everything! Old school charm and decor, with amazing service and food. Definitely start with the Calimari and an Old fashion. Both are excellent. 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”

“I have been a handful of times and have yet to be even remotely unhappy with my food. up until today my favorite was the avocado toast with egg but today I had the breakfast burrito and its a 20/10!! so good. we did get extra avocado but the salsa was so good too! I also suggest the lemon merange tart!!”

“I love the Cold Brew with 4 shots of espresso. on cold days I get the Macchiato. Paul is a coffee ificianto. Great service. The best Coffee!! 100% recommended!”

“Everything was awesome, from the iced drink to the carnitas!”

“Michael is outstanding! He managed to tend to all the tables in practically a full house and bartend, all while keeping a smile and joking around with customers as he went. I’ve never had a server provide such amazing service. We didn’t have to wait long for food, or drinks. I highly recommend Baraboo’s for good food and GREAT service!”

“Starting with the chips and salsa, the chips were fresh...the salsa was fresh and not watered down, my order was simple (Chicken and Rice) it came out hot and ready by my fourth scoop of salsa! It was delicious, and generous portions I might add! I'll be back.”

“The food and service was great. And they have Gluten free options.”

“The atmosphere has the charm of a classic small diner. The food was solid - satisfying without breaking the bank. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a great spot for a casual, no-fuss breakfast experience.”

“We had the breakfast, the food was really good! The service was excellent. The garage theme was pretty cool. My only gripe was the unsweetened tea, it tasted really funky”

“Always a friendly, atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff, I absolutely love The Spot!”

“If you’re in Dubuque you need to stop in and grab a cup! Great coffee, cool little shop vibe, and super nice people. Overall great experience. Well worth a half mile walk from the hotel at 7am! Prices and coffee beat Starbucks hands down!”

“Delicious! I had the sweet n spicey fried chicken sandwich, crab Rangoon, and a raspberry mojito. The food was fresh and delicious, chicken was juicy with a crunchy crust, and drink was refreshing. Will definitely be going back!”

“Got a take and bake taco from them to take to Michigan! They put all the toppings in separate bags!!! We got it there safe and sound! Baking it was Sooo easy! Even fun popping the crust down!!! It was probably the Best one We’ve ever had! Thanks Happy Joes!!!”

“Outstanding quality, service, friendliness. A very cool hipster beverage establishment…!”

“Great evening at Jubeck New World Brewing!”

“Such a fun place. Small Town bar feel where the bartenders treat you like regulars even if it's your first time in. Best bone in wings I've ever had, their house made sauces are fantastic. All of the food is delicious!!”

“Great food and warm environment. The service was very slow today. Many people left while I was there this morning due to long wait times for drinks. Food was excellent.”

“Amazing authentic Chicago style food! If you ask, they even have a meatless hot dog option not on the menu! We will absolutely be back next time we’re in town!”

“Amazing food and amazing price! Great customer service! Great start to our spontaneous trip!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would”

“We had a great breakfast here. Very simple place but with good food. We would definitely go there again. Staff very polite. Portions very large (we recommend a plate for two).”

“I was looking for a place to easily accommodate my group of 14 for lunch on a Saturday. With short notice they got us set up in the back room, Melissa delivered perfect service, all 14 meals came out at once, all the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I've driven past this place a thousand times and never gave it a thought. Now I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal and friendly staff. Thank you Rhody's. You were yet another part of a memorable weekend.”

“Tried for the first time and will be back! Amazing food, good prices, and friendly service.”

“We ran a good size benefit at Happy's. In the weeks prior the owner was very prompt and informative about any questions I had. On the day of the event the manager and staff could not have been more helpful and cooperative. They handled the crowd at the bar very well and the parking in the back was sufficient for the large amount of people that attended. I HIGHLY recommend Happy's and have no regrets at all for using their facility.”

“I would have to say this is definitely a gem of Dubuque. It being the oldest bar in Dubuque opened in 1933. Their burgers are an unforgettable delicacy as well as good memories for many of Dubuquers.”

“An exceptional dining experience awaits at Dockside Bar & Grille, where the focus on quality ingredients and masterful preparation shines through in every dish. The star of the show is undoubtedly their mouthwatering burgers, each one a juicy, perfectly cooked masterpiece that sets a new standard for pub fare. If you're looking for something truly unique, the handmade pork tenderloin sandwich is a must-try. It's a generous, tender, and crispy delight that feels both classic and innovative. And for those craving comfort, the homemade pizza delivers with a perfectly baked crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. Beyond the food, the bar is a true highlight. The bartenders are artisans, creating skillfully crafted drinks that are both visually stunning and perfectly balanced. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or a creative new concoction, they'll deliver an experience that complements your meal beautifully. Dockside Bar & Grille is more than just a place to eat; it's a destination for expertly prepared food and drink in a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Amazing food! Service at this location is fantastic and they are pretty quick for the most part. We are lucky to have such a good Chick-Fil-A here in town. The sandwiches are good even at the Saints Hockey games. I’m usually never disappointed here. Got it twice today and both times were superb!”

“Kayla is the absolute sweetest human! The fat Elvis protein shake and the protein balls are out of This world!! You must go!! Highly recommend ❤️”

“Awesome neighborhood bar vibe, great staff, lots of fun there!”

“So friendly and welcoming and the drinks are the best!”

“Adobos is delicious. Always friendly and one of my favorite stops/food trucks in town!”

“the absolute highlight of my trip! they have alternative milk options and the coffee tasted great. fast, excellent service, too.”

“The steak fajitas were great. Loved the queso. Staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean. Would definitely go back.”

“My wife and I stopped in for the first time. Her burger was amazing and I had the best wings in town. Thank you jumpers for the kind service, great atmosphere, and great food!”

“Here for the 1st time for my dinner and checking this place out ! The employees are awesome and serve my dinner in the timely manner ! Will definitely come to this place for more enjoyment !”

“Ordered 3 gyros tonight and they were hands down the best I’ve had yet—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly made! The guys working were awesome—super friendly, fast, and clearly take pride in what they do. Great experience all around.”

“Bob & Lou’s is hands down my favorite place to get a coffee (or a lemonade, or a chai, or a matcha!). 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!”

“I recommend Gyro Hub, because the food was amazing 👏 the tacos 🌮 were all so fulfilling and I tried chickpea rice for the first time ever in my life and I loved 😍 it.”

“Always a great time at the whisky river! Went for a few drinks for my birthday, and it never disappoints! Friendly staff & regulars!
The food is always perfection aswell!”

“Bartenders are amazing and love karaoke nights and bands nights”

“Chill place without the college crowd. If you can grab a couch, the beer tastes even better!”

“First time visiting today. The service was amazing and the food was awesome. Burgers tasted like a old time burger. Will be back for sure.”

“The food was quite tasty and nicely stocked every time I went up. The restaurant itself was clean and all the staff I encountered was nice. too bad I live 3.5 hours away from here as I would certainly come more often.”

“Their fall drinks are amazing! Such a cute coffee shop and definitely very popular!”

“Was just there for the first time with my husband this afternoon for lunch. The food was great,and the waitress was super friendly and considerate! Felt right at home eating here. Not only were the portions pretty generous,but the prices are so reasonable too! Will definitely be back again ☺️”

“It was the best pizza that I have ever had. I wish they had a location to eat in close to the Des Moines area. Amazing taste.”

“My family enjoyed a delicious dinner here. I love the update to the milk house and it feels like a European café. It gets a little loud in the dining room with larger groups but service was amazing and we will definitely be back!”

“Better than subway!..(albeit a bit more expensive). My sandwich came quick, they hand slice the meat, and the workers were very nice! I got the #13 mikes way. Very delicious😋”

“Best tacos in town. Great ingredients, and the flavors are spot-on with really good sauces to match. It’s a hidden gem, so make sure to call ahead to place your order - it'll keep your wait time super quick when you arrive. Definitely not a spot to miss!”

“Great food, Great drinks. Great atomsphere. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed”

“My mom and I had a really awkward time at a nearby establishment where we were completely ignored by three separate bartenders (the place was not busy at all). Turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we left and stopped in here instead and had a great drink in a fun atmosphere served by a super friendly bartender. She was so kind and took some extra time to explain a little bit about some of their different types of whiskey. Will definitely come back!”

“Great food, good people, nice bar.”

“BAB is one of the only places left in town that you can get a sandwich for under $5! Today I got a breakfast sandwich, a smoothie, an additional bagel and two dog treats for $14! The food is always good and fresh and they have the best bagels! I recommend the Swiss melt!”

“we were seriously disappointed. I recommend avoiding this place.”

“Great Dragon has the best Chinese food in Dubuque! Paul and his crew always take good care of us, and tonight was no different. The moo shoo chicken and vegetables and Mongolian beef were savory and delicious and served piping hot and with fluffy whie rice.”

“This place makes great pizza and has tasty shakes as well. The big deal is they decorated the whole restaurant for the holidays and it looks amazing. Get here early or get a reservation!!”

“Love the app! My order is always ready when I get there! The drinks are great. I can’t even tell they have protein powder in them when I get the pea protein. Had juice today that was soooo good!”

“Service was great! The hour's are quirky, and the menu options aren't available during certain times. But other than that can't complain. If you're looking to have a traditional German meal go during dinner hour's. They don't offer the full menu during lunch hours.”

“Everything, and I mean everything, has been SO wonderfully delicious. Great changing menu of specialty drinks, lots of options, great pastries, and always friendly and helpful. My fave coffee place!”

“We drive past 2 of the chain DQs to go to this one. They should all be the same but aren’t — Rhomberg has ice cream and Blizzards that just taste better. Well worth the trip — it’s the only DQ we patronize.”

“Their pike is to die for.”

“Beautiful place, beautiful staff, delicious teas and shakes. I have been a customer for years and have yet to be disappointed. Fair prices, daily flavor options for tea with the option to request additions like boba, aloe, and more. Their menus are easy to read and the staff are always nice and happy to answer questions.”

“Wonderful every time!! New favorites are the PB banana protein smoothies and their pumpkin bars”

“Very reasonable prices. Down-home diner menu. Friendly staff.”

“Can’t just walk in…you have to Tour the whole place…”

“Chris was amazing and so responsive when ordering our wedding cake. With being out of town, we were unable to do a tasting and were SO pleased with how it turned out! Our cake was absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments on the look and flavor! We still think about it and wish we could have it again!”

“the BBQ ribs are the best around very tender and great taste highly recommend . The fish is also very good. Actually everything on the menu is amazing. Great prices also.”

“Absolutely one of the best filled cupcakes we have in Dubuque!”

“Took forever, pizza wasn't worth the 1 hour wait.”

“Best coffee ever! The dirty soda drinks are also great!”

“Well, two kids who appeared to be the same ages as a couple of my grandkids were in attendance and I have to say they didn't go out of their way to impress me. But I found what I wanted easily and quickly, as I was the only customer in the store at that time of day on a Wed evening. I tried to engage in conversation with either of them, and hit a wall of disinterest. But, okay, maybe mopping the floor before closing time will prove to be the highlight of their shift.

Parking: Was fairly easy to get to and it was 7pm, so it wasn't rush hour, but I was pleased about the slick pick-up of "easy in/easy out".”

“Found this place today. Great little clean neighborhood corner bar. Friendly clientele and bartender. I'll be back!”

“With everything going in I want to give a shout out to Amber for taking care of me and Amber. I started to get anxiety before meals were ready and they had it boxed up and ready so we can take it to go. Thank you. I would definitely recommend them to all my family and friends. They have such friendly and understandable staff.”

“I heard about Inspire Cafe from my Yoga instructor - I think. Loving grlled cheese sandwiches I had the Grown Up Grilled Cheese. It did not disappoint Basic and tasty. Will be back to try other entrées”

“This is one of the best kept secrets in Iowa. The people at Graceland are great. We started stopping here after a golf outing in Galena and only wish we had more time to spend there. They are welcoming and jump in on fun. Can’t wait to visit again this year…”

“5 stars – The PERFECT event space! I hosted my 30th birthday party at Gary Dolphin’s Iron Bar, and I truly can’t say enough good things. The space itself is incredible—versatile for any weather (which is huge in Iowa), cozy yet open, and full of charm with string lights and exposed brick. The staff went above and beyond—from the band to the caricature artist to the bartenders, every single detail was thoughtfully handled and perfectly executed. I felt so taken care of, and so did all of my guests. It was more amazing than I ever imagined, and I’ll be recommending this venue to everyone. Whether you’re hosting a celebration, a casual get-together, or a private event, this is the spot in Dubuque. Thank you again to the team at Gary Dolphin’s for making it unforgettable!”

“My adult children and I met at Lina’s for food and drinks and it was fantastic. The food from Lina’s lounge and Thai Bistro was delicious, and we were able to sit outside with the kids and dogs. We highly recommend!!”

“Have eaten at the Yardarm Riverfront restaurant 3-4 times with my wife, son and his wife when we visit him in Dubuque. All of our meals have been great! Love the cheese curds, their fries, burgers and wraps. Like the outdoor seating next to the boat launching area and the Mississippi River. Very relaxing. Good service.”

“It’s a small town food and bar. I just moved here so it’s a good place to go for drink drinks and friendly environment. It’s always good to go to a bar to get to know the town when you first move in. This is a perfect place.”

“Fat Tuesdays is little New Orleans ,but alot better you have all your family and friends with the best Cajun food just like the bayou so you need some great company or maybe just a Hurricane, you will leave with a smile.”

“Pork tenderloin was HUGE! Not much flavor in the breading but it was juicy. The Kinda Ruben was pretty good too, it’s a burger with Ruben toppings. For there being a tiny little kitchen area, the food came out pretty quickly.”

“I stopped for lunch today and had the most amazing sandwich! Staff were friendly and knowledgeable in all their pastry selections and goodies. The size of the croissants were unreal and so light and fluffy. I highly recommend this lovely bakery!”

“excellent, fast and hot food. great service! the Eggs Benedict was fantastic.”

“Rice was cold. Rice was cold. Rice was not warm.”

“Becky’s Cakes absolutely blew us away with the wedding cake and cupcakes she made for our big day! Not only were they absolutely stunning, but they tasted even better than they looked—moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Our guests could not stop raving about the cupcakes and the cake. Many said it was the best wedding dessert they’d ever had! Becky truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and every detail was perfect. She was also an absolute joy to work with—professional, responsive, and so passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for a cake that will wow your guests and taste amazing, look no further than Becky’s Cakes. We are so grateful she was a part of our wedding!”

“I'm not sure why the rating is 4.4. I'm from out of town in for a medical appointment and am also recovering from a hospital stay. I'm familiar with Smoothie King and hadn't been to one in awhile. The two ladies working today answered my questions, were very nice, and even said they hoped I feel better. I will definitely be back when in the area. The smoothie hot the spot too!”

“Hosted children’s birthday party at Fischer Lanes. Definitely recommend and our host Alex was great.”

“Craig is awesome! everybody knows your name! Cheers!!!!”

“Delicious boba teas and shakes! Fun space to hang out! The staff is so friendly 😊”

“Jimmy John's is a nice sandwich shop and the food is always prepared fresh to order and quickly. I like that this location has a drive-thru. I like that there is a vegetarian option, but I wish there were more options for vegetarians.

Vegetarian options: There is at least one vegetarian option and you always have the ability to add different veggies. I wish there was another protein choice other than a slice of cheese.

Parking: There are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: This is a kid-friendly restaurant.”

“Delicious drinks, friendly service”

“Great atmosphere and loved the karaoke!”

“CORRECTION TO LOCATION IS Perkins in Waterloo Iowa I recommend their meatloaf dinner, the salmon and any one of the soups. Plus they have great customer service. Krista is top tier in customer service!!!!”

“great place! Great bartenders!”

“BIG THANK YOU to Shot Tower Inn Kunnert family!!! Awesome pizza, bourbon wings, fried ice cream & prayers 🙏”

“Always very friendly atmosphere and the bartenders are efficient. I was here for a group riding event and the staff was extremely friendly and there was no long wait times. It had a very small town feel and the regulars had lots of fun stories.”

“the bestest sub ever i go there some what often and as i ordered tonight which is 2 nites in row. the fella thats always there i think might be a manager or something but knows is customers ovisaly anyways lhe knows my order and called me a VIP made my day.”

“We stopped at Cold Stone Creamery in Dubuque, IA on our way to Eagle Point Park. They had just opened, so we had the place to ourselves. The cashier came out right away, was super friendly, and patiently helped us decide between all the amazing options.

I ordered a Love It size Cornbread is My Jam, and my friend went with a Love It Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream Shake. My ice cream was a little overmixed, so it didn’t quite look like the photo, or good enough for a photo—but it was delicious. The perfect combo of tart fruit, sweet jam, and moist yet crumbly cornbread. I can’t stress enough how tasty it was.

The peanut butter shake was also incredible—rich, creamy, and loaded with peanut butter up and down the sides of the cup. Both treats disappeared quite quickly.

Overall, the service was great, the treats were delicious, and I’d absolutely stop here again the next time I’m in Dubuque. Highly recommend.”

“Best pizza and baked mostaccioli !!! Been coming here for over 40 years!!”

“This is a hidden gem located below Vinnys Little Italy. It gives you the vibe of the old prohibition bars. The bartender (didn't get his name) was a wealth of info and a great conversationalist.”

“Our delivery driver forgot our mayo packets. I called the store and the manager apologized and had packets delivered in less than 5 minutes. Sometimes mistakes happen, and things get overlooked, but I appreciate the excellent customer service we received!”

“I'm not a bar person normally ...but what a fun place. We had tropical Skittles, salted nut roll, fruit loop drinks, so much fun. Chelsea is a hilarious bartender and she made such fun Halloween!”

“I only come in once in a while, and they still remember what kind of beer I drink! A beer and a hamburger, make for a pretty good start. Excellent and knowledgeable bartenders, finish the rest of that picture, to give it that neighborhood pub feeling!”

“The nicest man was working. Showed us a pic of his cute dog. His vibe was amazing. The funnel cake fries are always delicious”

“I highly recommend this Hyvee. The employees are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. This store has many different types of ready made meals plus numerous fully prepared entrees and vegetables that you bake and serve. Their prices are equal to or cheaper than Walmart but the store is far nicer with very nice employees.If i lived in Dubuque, ia., Walmart would never see me.Hyvee for foodThiesens or lowes for everything else.BYE BYE WALLY MART.”

“Excellent food fast service”

“Food was excellent, hot and not a long wait. Must try the Dixon Dice! Bartender was very attentive and polite. It's a nice relaxing place to watch sports. Iowa Baseball and Indian Fever games were on the big screen tvs at the bar. Glad we stopped here for lunch!”

“Their fall drinks are amazing! Such a cute coffee shop and definitely very popular!”

“Bobbi was great! From food suggestions to service. Highly recommend!”

“so much fun singing karaoke after retro”

“We tried Mario's Italian Restaurant for the first time this week. It is a old school neighborhood feel, with the most delicious Italian food. I had the Veal Cutlet Parmigiana with spaghetti. The veal was very tender and in delicious sauce. My wife ordered the Mario Panzerotti, which was plentiful and also very delicious!! Highly recommend giving it a try next time you're in Dubuque.”

“We had a wonderful breakfast there this morning. 11 of us, our food was all hot, and served to everyone at the same time. The Santa Fe breakfast burrito was fabulous!”

“Absolutely fell in love with their food from the Happi Hibachi truck and I am so glad that they have a restaurant now~ definitely some of the best food in all of Dubuque!”

“Great food 10 out of 10 on these wings!!”

“Had our 25th anniversary party here, nice place reasonable price to rent. Brought our own food in. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Owners should look into signage for road in. Guest were confused on how to get to the building.”

“Cute, little ice cream shoppe found at the bottom of the Fenelon Elevator Incline in Dubuque, Iowa. The shoppe is tight for space as it is overly stocked with stuffed toys, tchotchke, and candies. Two small tables are there to sit at. We enjoyed our root beer floats.”

“I stopped in as I had loved their sandwiches back in high school in the 1980’s and wanted to see what they were now. Overall the sandwich was good as far as taste and the ingredients were fresh. The macaroni salad was mostly noodles and had little cheese in it. Would be great if it had some small diced celery for some added texture. Service was good. The tables and dining area were clean. Wasn’t a lot of parking available in it tight parking area.”

“It truly is the best ice cream in town. Especially the raspberry Oreo!”

“It's good for if you're on the go going grocery shopping, I wouldn't recommend it for a real restaurant experience though, the place really just has glorified fast food.”

“Went to The Grand Opra House and The Filament was suggested. Great Atomsphere, is located inside the actual Casino. Friendly and reasonably quick service.
Ordered pulled pork sliders, recieved 3 decent sized sliders and spent less than $15 on my order.”

“Food was amazing as was the service. The employees were laughing and joking while putting up Halloween decorations. It just felt like a nice place to be with happy people running it. Great start to our morning on our first wedding anniversary.”

“We went to Lina's with a large group on a Saturday night. Our server Hailey had another large group she was taking care of as well. Hailey not only was super quick and nice but she knew what she was doing. The food and the service were great, I had the Birds Nest, which, comes with a crunchy noodle that increasingly turns al dente with the meal 🤤10/10 would definitely come again 😊”

“Amazing food! Service at this location is fantastic and they are pretty quick for the most part. We are lucky to have such a good Chick-Fil-A here in town. The sandwiches are good even at the Saints Hockey games. I’m usually never disappointed here. Got it twice today and both times were superb!”

“We stopped at The Barrel House on our way thru Dubuque. Food was great, but our waiter Travis was outstanding! Very nice young man who did everything you'd want a great waiter to do! His mom raised him right!!!”

“What a fun place to just happen upon! We are passing through on our 6 hour drive home and just needed to feed our three kids and hope they nap after for the last half…. It was SO KID FRIENDLY. Games, they were singing for birthday, kids can watch the pizza be made, and it was a place the kids could just be themselves. Pizza looks amazing!!!! I couldn’t wait to share how excited we were king enough to include that but it looks like it’s going to be yummy!!”

“Big group after softball game. Food was good and it was delivered quick. Service was on top of it because of big group. We will be going back. Gluten free options available”

“Oh my goodness, the Oatmilk Hazelnut Latte at Starbucks is like a warm hug in a cup! I ordered it hot, and it was absolutely perfect for a chilly day. The creamy oatmilk blended beautifully with the sweet, nutty hazelnut flavor. It wasn't overly sugary, which I really appreciated, and the warmth was just so comforting. It's like a delicious, lightly toasted hazelnut treat, but in latte form. If you're looking for a cozy, dairy-free pick-me-up, this is definitely it. I highly recommend it! It's my new favorite winter indulgence.”

“I appreciate that your inside dining room was open. We met our daughter half way in Dubuque Iowa and needed a place to stretch the grandkids legs and get lunch. They were returning to Sparta Wis. after a week long visit with us in Williamsfield Il. . The food was great and we were able to visit a little before we all went on our way. Thanks for the great service.All our kids love Arby's.😊”

“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!).”

“These people are very accommodating, I’m not terribly picky but I do expect to receive things I pay for and that’s not frozen cheese curds lol. They gave me a free blizzard coupon and a large cheese curd after I only ordered a regular! The lady with colored hair that works nights is pretty rude though, always angry and sweating and just so annoyed with having to scan a barcode.”

“Great restaurant, excellent food. Service is fast for being so busy. Restaurant is clean, servers are very friendly. Would recommend, very affordable for the quality of food.”

“I usually order here once a week and it’s usually very good! Randy does a good job of keeping the lunch hour nice and fresh! Thanks Randy!”

“Sometimes working in toxic job environments reminds me of this. When you’re working with people who are overall miserable people and they take it out on you learn to not take it personally. God bless !”

“As unusual as it can sometimes be these days, unfortunately, there are still people out there who work fast food jobs and actually care about giving excellent service. This Hardee’s rocked it! 👍👍👍”

“Best customer service hands down! SPICY PAPPA”

“Excellent food at a very reasonable price. We had dinner here twice and breakfast while staying at the hotel and every dish has been exceptional.”
