I ordered their patty melt, which, honestly I'd give a 3-star a-ok to. It wasn't phenomenal, but was decently done. Where things fell apart was the service. There were very few people in the restaurant while we we there, and still our wait times (for food, for drinks, for our check) were inordinately long. And, when we finally did get service (for food, our bill), we had to flag it down (after waiting nearly 30 minutes with entirely empty plates and glasses for the check). It was odd. Meh.

My wife and I went there for the first time during a recent trip back to Dubuque. We saw the great ratings and read the reviews. So we gave it a try for lunch. We are glad we did. We ordered a couple burgers and fries. They were delicious and exactly what you're looking for when craving a good ol' pub burger. The atmosphere was inviting and featured billiards and darts. We were impressed by the cleanliness. Our bartender, who was also at the grill, was friendly and helpful. The patrons were noticeably friendly too. Many greeted each other with a hearty Hello and a first name. Some included a hug. The absence of "Hard Drinking" characters supported the friendly pub-like vibe. We will be back.

Mason Dixon Saloon, as it is unfortunately titled and branded, is one of the only places in Dubuque…read moretoday that provides pretty darn solid ribs and smoked meats, as some of the other BBQ joints have shuttered over the years. I am pleased, in fact, to report that in having tried the ribs, they have smoking down pretty well and churn out some good food. On other visits however, I was surprised to find the pork on the Cuban sandwich and basket to be an odd texture and pretty off tasting. I'd say that the food is pretty standard otherwise, with what seem to be the usual Cisco/USFoods frozen to fried fare. Nothing incredible, but your familiar greasy stuff to get a quick, cheap-enough lunch in. The service over the years has been mixed as well, during the table service hours, the place has had attentive and kind service, but every weekend the place turns into a confused staging ground for what all-too-often seem to be fake-ID toting college underclassmen. At these hours, the place feels uncomfortable for anyone over 22, and it's hard enough to get to the bar rail at these hours any way, much more-so to be seen by tenders that all too often are overstretched if they're even behind the bar to begin with. There's also the obvious gripe with the ambiance. Bourbon barrels cut and stacked along the walls, set against the backdrop of a big crocodile crawling the room -- pretty cool, if not a little kitschy. The obvious problem remains: why the homage to the Mason Dixon line? A symbol of the south? A bygone time? Something to suggest that the ~perfectly fine~ ribs will transport you to another place? My thought is that all too often, and rightly so, it's associated with the border into a land where slavery existed right up until the line was no more. A line crossed to become free, or on the flip side enter a land where it was okay to treat a black man as something sub-human. If that's where this saloon wants to transport me, I'm good. They changed their branding from a confederate flag striped longhorn to what it is now, but the name and the feeling remain. I should hope that they can see that in a Dubuque that is hopefully changing with times and trying to be a welcoming place to folks of all races, colors, and creeds, it may be time not just to retire the flag, but consider what the line their named for stands for to people other than the white guys in their hometown (a group that seems to want the good ol' Southland to adopt the rural Midwest).

There is plenty of parking and it's extremely convenient if you're staying in the Hotel.
